Europe is again on the eve of revm

ed by the dying condition of Emperor
Frederick of Germany. Crown Prince
\Villiam who is to succeed to the
throne. is a young. hotbezuled man,
said to be very unlike his conserva

have preceded him._ Whether or not
the cares of state will solwr him, is a
problem which involves the peace of
all Europe. and which excites intense:
interest all over the civilized wax-kl
Should there be intempomtn ur un

Our Board of Trade is doing a wise
thing to follow up the Business Ex
chanqe movement to secure a reduc
tion in freights and fares on routes
leading to and from Port Townsend.
It is understood that the agent of the
0. R. & N. 00. says rates are the
a: -a as to other points. Undoubt
edly through rates are uniform; but
it is local rates that are complained
of. Port Townsend has been shame
fully discriminated against for years,
to her very great detriment. If we
do not resent such treatment We may
expect it to continue; but the remedy
is within our 168611. The only wonder
is that it was not used long ago.
Blaine is reported by the press
dispatches to have indicated a pref
erence for John Sherman for the
presidential nomination. If this is
true it will probably nominate the
Ohio statesman, as Blaine’s followers
are numerous enough to control ens~
ily, if they should combine with the
Sherman men. The story may be
acanard, as it lacks confirmation;
though it. sounds reasonable. Blaine
and Sherman are good friends, and
the former is anxious to see a strong
protectionist nominated. We still
think Harrison is the best. man. No
abler nor purer American statesman
than John Sherman lives—and he
would probably be elected. as we be
lieve any representative republican
leader would bo—still, John Sher
rnan is not the most available man
to carry the pivotal states.
On the Defensize Already-
The democratic national platform
has just been adopted, yet there is
an attempt being made already to
explain it as merely a "tariff reform"
document. Gov. Hill of Now York
says it is for freer trade and not {or
free trade. Democratic leaders bwgiu
to realize that they will have to meet
the determined opposition of the in—
dustrial interests of the country. and
they are beginning to hedge on a
plan to argue for free trade in Some
places, and mere modification of the
tarifl' in others. 'But the plan will
fail; Presxdent Cleveland, more cour—
ageous than others of his party lean!-
ers, has committed them square‘y to
free trade—and the battle must be
waged on that line Heretufore there
has been no end of Miccenful dodg—
ing on this tarifi'issue; but this time
it. won’t. work.

Mr. Learned has been mm of the
most actiw and faithful members of
the council during the past year,
and latterly has been acting mayor
during Mayor De Lion’s illness. Ex~
Mayor Smith is a live. progressive
citizen; we do not know whether he
wants to enter the race this year or
not. For councilmou there are a
number of suitable ones to choose
from. Uumpzzrison's would be iuvid
ions, and We shall not indulge in any
reflections. The outgoing members
are: Messrs. A. I. Smith, A. “'O3;-
month, 1". W. James and L. B. Hast—
ings. We understand that Mr. Smith
will not run again. not Mr. James.
If either Capt. Hastings or Anfiy
\Veymouth will consent to serve
again it is morally certain that they
will be renominated and reelected.
Others favorably meniioned are:
Messrs. Geo. Starrett, Frank Bart
lett, Thos. Jackman, A. W. Bush. J.
H. Livermore, D. H. Hill, U. W.
Hunt, 0. F. Clapp and cthers. Mr.
Clapp served years ago, and was a
bright, Wideawa'ke member. We have
little doubt that wise choice will be
made.

'x'ork contoznporary, aserics of thin—
ly-popnlatod provinces, who.“ nat
ural markets and commercial inter
ests are Centcrcn in the States of the
American union adjoining them on
South. In order to connect the
provinces artificially with one an
othor, two railways have bccn built
across the Continent, from Halifax to
Vancouver. at tho cxpensa of the
Dominion Gowrniucnt ranging be
tween $135,000,U:U and $155,000,000.
These subsidies have converted the
Dominion into a political railway
corporation, condnctcd in the inter
est of the British Empire. At each
ti-rminus there are to be subsidized
lincs of steamers connecting Halifax
with Liverpool and Vancouver ~with
China. Japan and Australia. For
the Pacific line an annual mail sub
sidy of $300,000 is to he paid by Eug~
land and Canada. The subsidized
railways and rubsidized steamers
are to servo as connecting links in
the world-wide system of British po
sessions and to promote the political
objects of Imperialism; and they are
expected to accmnplish these objects
mainly at. the expense of the United
States. The Canadian Pacific has
already diverted from American rail
ways an enormous share of the trade
of the Paellic coast. and the Vancou
ver steamers will compete directly
with American steamers in the China
trade. At the same time Great l‘rit
