Let nobody fail to note the fact that
the spellbinders find plenty to talk
about this fall without mentioning
| their old friend subsidy.
Individuals aud corporations that
have axe* to grind and the honorable
poiitieai gentlemen whom they em-
ploy to turn the grindstone have a
ihriiljr way of ketpiag very still at
limes wQen the el.-etui* are about to
express their opinions of men, parties
snd things at the polls.
When election day la yet a long way
off they boldly appear In Washing
ion with their schemes, aud their at-
torneys on the floors of cougress wax
eloquent over the beautte* of their
projects and offt r to prove to a dem-
onstratiou that it Is the patriotic duty
| of congress to put money Into the
| pockets of gentlemen who ache to
»erve their country ror a eon aid era
lion.
But as election day draw* ni ar they
seek the seclusion that the cabin
uraiit* and patiently wait for the pop:;
Isr breezes to blow over. The people
arc cot to be trusted to pass upon u
question co profound as that of vot
lug *2(it),009,000, more or less, out of
I the tri Usury aud Into the pockets of
patriotic capitalists who long to build I
-hips to fly the American flag ar.d 1
transfer the scepter of the wave front |
Britannia to Columbia.
Let us not fall to note further In
this connection that some onc\ pre-
it hid lily to- great American magician
•d finance, recently drove a right little
light little bargain with Ids majesty’s
ministry in I-ondi n.
By the terms of this contract the
British companies and the British
-hips in the American steamship com-
hlne are to stay British, but on the
other hand one of the British com
parties, the Cunard, Is to get an annual
subsidy of $750,000 from the British
i government. It is also to get from
that government a loan of the money
"herewith to hiilhl two new ships,
paying 2\ per cent interest and re-
paving tho principal in twenty years
! by annual Inatallmcflts.
\\ ho i an fail to see the fine hand
1 of the American subsidy beggars In
- that? When t.iclr attorneys arise to
|address the senat • and the house next
winter they- will point triumphantly to
this nice little subsidy bargain and de-
mand to know how Columbia can ex
pert to rule the wave if she refuses
to do as well as Britannia does for
those who go down to the sea in
ships.
The $,.i0,00o will be an acceptable
plum to the Cunard company, of
course, but it may prove much more
laluahle to our own subsidy beggars.
We may be sure that It will be worked
for all It is worth In Washington.

shrewd American v ho engineered the
deal more for use in tapping the
t'nited States treasury than for the
benefit of the Cunard company.

for his usual contribution, which was
never less than $5,000 in off years and
was *10,000 In presidential or con-

It has been generally understood that
Mr. Morgan's refusal to contribute this
year was due to the attitude of the
Republican leaders In regard to the
coal strike. Men who should be In a
position to know, however, said this
was not the case. That Gov. Odell’s
measures in the taxation of corpora-

Here we see Its managers in two
great states, with critical elections
on their hands, dropping everything
in uneonrealeil alarm and practically
confessing that they are beaten in ad-
vance unless they are able to settle
a labor difficulty. What a pitiable
state of panic for a great party to fall
into! And the worst of It is that it is
the direct result of its own boasted

posed as the guardian ar.gel of every

on hard coal was made a part of the
Dingley bill “in a sneaking and cow-
ardly manner.” The Cleveland Plain
Dealer says that Secretary Shaw rec-
ommends that the duty he evaded in a
similar manner—by having all import-
ed coal, whatever its quality, billed as
•'containing over 92 per cent of fixed
carbon."
A Tax on Cleanliness.
The tariff duty of 40 per cent on
brooms Is an inducement to the forma-
tion of a trust which the broom man-
ufacturers cannot resist and the final
detail for the combination of all in the
country are about completed. "A new
broom sweeps clean,” but no cleaner
because it is made by a trust and
costs the same as before with the 40
per cent of original value added on.

Three Bovs Killed nv Train.—Joe

City, were killed near Noble by a
Electioneering Cabinet Officers.
The number of cabinet officers sent
out from Washington to aid the dom-
inant party hv slump-speaking Is now-
fixed at six. This, of course. Implies
that six of the administrative depart-
ments in that city are now without
their heads. How long this is to con-
tinue we are not informed, but prob-
ably as long as the exigencies of poli-
tics are supposed to require it. To va-
cate six eahinet departments at once
in this way under ordinary conditions
would seem to border upon the scan-
dalous. but we suppose the lesson of
this exodus from the public service to
engage in stump operations is that, in
the eyes of the men in administration
at tho national capital, the aiding in
partisan politics is more important
than the giving attention to public af
fairs.
Only Menace to Business.
In regard to anticipated business
troubles following tarifT revision the
Detroit Free Press (ind. Dem.) says:
The only menace there is to any busi-
ness or other interest Is the menace
which these corporations invite by
their defiance of reasonable public
sentiment which seeks equal and ex-
act justice between the big corpora-
tion and the small taxpayer.”
What Jefferson Would Do.
We are a long way from the gov-
ernment of Jefferson, but in deciding
matters according to the Jeffersonian
plan wo should consider not only what
Mr. Jefferson said and did, but try to
project his view of present conditions
—that is to say. endeavor to decide
what Mr. Jefferson would do under
there circumstances.—Houston Post.
For The Army Canteen.
Washington, Nov. 4,—The annual
report of Adjutant General Corbin, to
he made public shortly, contains a
strong recommendation for the re-
establishment of the army canteen.
Special attention is called to the re-
ports of general officers of the army
showing the effect of the present sys-
tem on tlie health and morals of tlie
soldiers. These reports all indicate an
increased number of desertions, und
more men are tried for drunkenness in
the absence of the canteen than ivhcn
it was in existence.
Co-Operation Discussed.
Washington, Oct. 30.—The National
Association of Builders discussed tlie
subject of eo-operntion between organ-
ized employers and organized em-
ployes. Sentiment of the meeting was
plainly in favor of wage agreements
and the settlement of all labor dis-
putes before the necessity of a strike
should arise and for the appointment
in each community where agreements
were reached of committees to enforce
the agreed terms of settlement.
Immerse Sturgeon Caught.
The largest sturgeon ever caught In
Irish waters was recently on view in
a Dublin fishmonger's. It measures 10
feet In length, 6 feet in girth, and
weighs nearly 700 lbs. It was caught
by a fisherman named Whelan In a
rough net. In Dublin Bay, near Pig-
eon House Fort. A great many largo
sturgeons have been taken all round
the Irish coast this year.
Garrison for South Africa.
At the end of the year there will
still be about 50,000 British troop3 in
South Africa, and It is probable that
a garrison of this size will be main-
tained during the whole of aext year
or for longer. It Is hoped that ulti-
mately 15,000 men will be sufficient to
garrison South Africa, but It is pos-
sible that the military authorities may
determine, for thu purposes of train-
ing, to keep the army corps there.
Cause of Good Times.
T. E. Ryan, the Wisconsin member
of the Democratic national committee,
said In a recent speech: "We have
had a succession of five or six good
crops in our great grain-growing sec-
tions and a like number of crop fail-
ures in many foreign eountries. • • »
Good crops or had crops are not the
result of a high tariff.”
Lessons of the Coal Strike.
The public has learned from the

says: "I firmly believe had 1 not used

with which tlio government views tlie
