Arrangement May Involve Destruc.
ton of Protective system.

AS the provisional arrangement
with Germany made about a year ago
whereby importations into Germany
from the United States received the
benefit of the minimum tariff, would
have expired next June, with the re-
suit of exposing American merchan-
disc to the imposition of a sm-taN and
possibly of precipitating a tariff war
it is gratifying to learn that Ambas-
sador Won Sternburg has been author
lied by his government to renew the
existing understanding for a period
sufficiently extended to allow of the
negotiation of some permanent agree
mcnt. The basis of the negotiation Is
to be furnished by the North commits
sion, which went to Berlin several
months ago to confer with the Ger
man tariff authorities and which lately
returned bringing with it a report
whose contents have not yet been pub
licly disclosed. 1t is this report which
is embodied in the treaty which the
senate will be melted to ratify when
congress reassembles.
1t must be said that the problem
presented is one Of extreme difficulty
Germany has adopted a tariff with
maximum and minimum schedules.
Countries which make concessions to
Germany in their customs duties get
the benefit of the latter, while to all
others the former are applied. The
difference between the two is in many
respects very considerable. In some
things it is SO great as to exclude the
products of the uon-favored country
from tho German market, and had The
discrimination been enforced against
the United States trade would have
been injuriously affected. Most Euro
pean countries have qualified for par
ticipation in the minimum rates by a
reciprocal reduction of duty, but the
United States has thus far declined to
enter into any such arrangement and
the chances that it will agree to do so
in the near future are not worth CON.
sidering
Reciprocity seems fair and looks
easy, but as soon as the attempt is
made to apply the principle OF it to
practice insurmountable difficulties
are encountered. We are asked to re-
duce the tariff rates on certain lines
Of German production. Why? OBJ
yiously, in order that the German
producer may be enabled to sell his
product more largely in the American
market. But if he does that it must
be at the expense Of his American
competitor, because such articles as
this country does not produce are
nearly all on the free list. Thus the
proposition is that certain American
manufacturers shall be excluded from
the benefits Of the protective system.
But that system must be for all or
none, so that the idea Of reciprocity
logically involves It's destruction. The
people who We're sacrificed would
naturally go over to the other side
Another hing: Concessions made
to Germany in return for an abatc-
ment in the tariff could hardly be re-
fused to Great Britain, which is our
best customer and which on most Of
our merchandise charges no duty

y River. Width.

b If any boy should ever want to know
the width iof a river or of any other
stream that he may happen on, he can
measure 1t by means of his hat brin,
says Chicago News. That seems queer,
but it is as simple as can be-. Here is
the way to do it: Stand facing the
river or stream and pull down your ' hat
brim until the edge of it is on line
with the edge Of the bank on the oppo-
site of the stream Then holding your
head perfectly steady, turn, slowly and
carefully around and note where the
edge of your hat brin cuts the ground
on your side of the stream. The dis
lance from where you stand to that
point in the ground will be the width
of the stream. OF course the ground
on your side Of the stream must be

WANT PARTY JOURNAL.
Socialists Would Have Government
Establish Newspaper.

Spokane Wash, June spokane
branch of the socialist party. of which
Judge w. E. Richardson, one of the
counsel for Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone, is president, wants congress to
establish government newspaper IN
Washington, D. c., for the discussion of
the principles advocated by the var
ious parties in the country. The jour
nal would be for propaganda purposes
only and contain no other advertise
ments than the platforms and candi-
dates of the parties and such an
nouncements as they desire to make
from time to times The journal is to
be furnished to subscribers at the
actual cost of publication and dis
tribution. The branch has adopted
resolutions to bring the matter to the
attention of the national committee,
declaring in part:
THAT each and every political party
in this country which Shall have MAIN
tanned both state and national cam
paigns in two thirds of the states and
territories of the union for period
Of five years preceding its application
therefor, shall be entitled upon appli-
cation to the properly designated gov
eminent authority, to have one or more
pages OF said newspaper set apart for
the exclusive use and to be under the
control Of an editorto be selected by
such party in such manner as it may
choose, the salary OF such editor to be
paid by the government and no dis
elimination to be made in the amount
Of salary paid any editor or in the
amount of space to be placed at his
disposal"
The resolution also provides that the
socialist national committee take the
proper steps to place the question be-
fore the party by referendum vote and

1t is rather curious thing that Gen
eral Bingham should be engaged IN
this sort Of work. Two or three years
ago who would have thought 1t OF
him? There was no more indication
then that he would be police commits
sioner Of New York than there is indi-
cation now that Theodore Roosevelt
will be the next shah Of Persia or the
ahkoond Of Swat. Bingham had not
lived In New York, and he knew only
one man connected with the city nd
ministration. That was Mayor George
b. Mcclellan, whom he had met at
Washington when the young man was
In congress.
When you get to be mayor Of New
York." Bingham once remarked jocu-
larry to Congressman Mcclellan, It'll

Bingham at White House.
That was long before Mcclellan ran
FOR mayor. Bingha was then serving
as major, domo, drum major, social sec
rotary or something to that effect at
the White House. His official position
was superintendent of government
buildings and grounds In Washington.
He was appointed thereto as an officer
III the regular army. being colonel In
the engineer corps. incidentally he
was military aid to the president and
managed all the social functions at
the White House, He served through
President McKinley's term without
friction, but not long after Mr.. Roose-
welt became president there were both
friction and fire. The White House
was not big enough for two Theodores,
each with mind Of his own and q
tongue to indicate it's workings. Be
fore Colonel Bingham was retired from
that post, however, occurred little
incident which belongs to modern bis
tory.
There was musicale ut the White
House Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew
was present That was in the insur-
ance antebellum days. when he. was
'Our Chauncey" and could laugh at
his own Jokes. It seems that Senator
Depew told q funny story and laughed
loud and long over 1t. His laughter an
noyed President Roosevelt and others
who wanted to hear the music. Colo
mel Bingham as master of ceremonies
saw that 1t was "up to him." and, be
Ing soldier, he shrank pot from duty
Stepping up to the 1ocu1ar senator, he
said: 3
please be quiet. The others want to
hear the music"
That started feud between Depew
aud Bingham, which, 1t is said. lasts to
this day, though Senator Depew does
not keep the story in his repertory.
Colonel Bingham was transferred to
