new scheme to encourage ship building
was presented to the special shipping com
mittee on Wednesday by representatives. of
the Philadelphia maritime exchange. In
outline, 1t is that, after January /, 1885, ev-
cry American built ship of more than 1000
IONS, engaged in the foreign trade shall re-
seive from the treasury compensation of
20 cents per ton for each 1000 miles run by
any steam vessel, and of Is cents per mile
for each 1000 miles run by sailing vessel,
to be measured by the shortest photographic
lines between the points embraced by the
voyage, and that in return for this payment
the vessel shall carry the United States
mails without further compensation. 1t is
said that the scheme was warmly recon-
mended by ship owners and builders and
made favorable impression on the commit
tee. 1t is represented that such payment
would just about offset the difference In
the cost and expenses between American
and English built vessels and would be GER
tain to stimulate American ship building in
an extraordinary degree The proposers of
the plan thought that If the scheme should
be in operation but ten years it would ac-
complish the object of restoring the prosper
fly of the ship building industry in this
country.

A resolution introduced into the Virginia
Senate the other day, calling upon Senator
Malone to resign his seat in the United
States Senate, was made the occasion of a
fiery speech by its author, Senator Newber-
ry, in which the English language was ran
sacked to find epithets with which to ade-
suately express the speakers contempt for
the Readjuster leader. 1t is significant
fact that throughout this "terrible arraign-
ment' not one word is said in condemna-
Won of the most Objectionable feature of the
program of the party Senator Malone organ
iSsd and led to victory, the reputation of
portion of the State debt. He is accused of
being "petty tyrant' ''puny boss" and
of having viIely slandered his native State,
but his record as repudiator is passed over
In silence. The reason of this is that the
Democratic party, for the sake of regaining
power, has crowded upon his platform.
