now A SUBSIDY WORKED.

The monopolist knowing that the
American people ardently desire that
American shipping should once more
be found on every sea, a, 1t was before
the war, are trying to have subsidies
granted to ship builders, so that taxa
ton that stands in the way OF our ship
building at one end OF the process,
may be made up for by paying a cub
sidy to the ship owners at the other.
This is an odd, see-saw way OF accom-
plishing result 0ne would think the
best way would bs 10 reduce the taxes
and remove the distractions to nsvi-
eating American ships, and 30 have
done with 1t, but monopolis!s work
in crooked ways, and 30 etraightfor-
ward plan by no means suits their
policy. Ru's'a has just supplied an
instance Of the folly and futiliiy Of
looking to subsidies to aid good,
honest trade. In that country
VIXEN there is business trouble the
paternal government is looked to to
help and rescue. Last year there was
q crisis in the sugar market, aud prices
went very low. The Russian dealers
had surplus of 100000 pounds,
and government was called upon to
prevent loss. Government granted a
subsidy OF a cent pound upon every
pound of sugar exported, The over
produced amount, and as much more
rs could be got, WIS exported. The
cost to the government was So, 900, COO
for the subsidy and 100000 loss OF
the regular export duty, But the
amount of the over production was
got rid of, and subsidy paying ceased,
Now what is the benefit resulting
from the S5,000,0OO? II there had
been no subsidy the holding over Of
100000 pounds OF sugar would have
bsen sufficient warning to producers
to decrease the supply. But
the subsidy having cleared away
the surplus, the producers felt
no Inconvenience from it, aud
now the news comes that the present
production will have q surplus oil
much more than double the over
production Of the previous season,
The result is that greater
amount of distress will prevail, owing
to the subsidy, than would have been
experienced had there been no sub.
sidy. Such facts as this, aud it is by
no means an isolated one, should
teach the United States to steer clear
| of suhei1iea.

THE CAPTURED APACHES
Turned ever TO the Care of Gen
Drum.

WASHINGTON, September 9.-Gen.
Drum, Acting Secretary of War, hav-
log been authorized by the President
to use his discretion ia the treatment
of the captured Apaches, has instruct
ed Gen. Miles to remove Geronimo
and his band 10 some secure place OF
conhnem emit, and while 1t is MT yet
known at the Department where they
bavs been taken, it is surmised that
the captives have been removed to
Fort Bliss, Tex, or rome neighbor-
ing post. 1t WIS not d emed prudent
to allow the Indians to remsin at Fort
Bowie, ss in the event OF an escape
into the adjacent mountains, it would
be almost impossible to recapture
them. Despite the announcement
made in the official kilograms that
Getonimo's surrender was uncondi-
ticnal, the belief is growing at the
War Department, based on the chiefs
well earned reputation es a strategist,
that he had made rome conditions
with his captors that will at least pre-.
vent his trial in Ariz ma. In the alb
sence Of a more definite understand
ing Of the subject at headquarters, it
is tolerably certain that the Indians
will be held at some Texas fort as
prisoners of war until President Oleve-
land returns and expresses his wishes
in the matter. 1t is believed by Off.
GERS competent to judge that civil
Trial of the captives would be fai ure,
as no evidence of legal weight could
be adduced to brig the murders that
have been committed home to any OF
these Indians. Little batter results
would attend trial by military COM
mission for the same reason, aud it is
felt that the only feasible solution OF
the question of the treatment Of Ge-
ronimo and his band would be their
removal t. reservation, prohsbly in
Florida, where from the surroundings
escape would be impossible.
Mr. Atkins, the Comm 'ssioner OF
Indian AtfairS, is quoted by the Post
IS insisting that Geronimo must be
put to death. 1.-THE President" he
says, "will probably acQniesce in what
ever proposition Gen. Miles makes for
dlsposing OF the murderer. His prop
osi,ion will doubtless be court mar
tial, which will not fail 10 award a
death sentence. There is no doubt
that the public sentiment OF the coun.
try demands the death OF Geronimo"

THE PREVALENT RELIGION.

st. Paul tells the Philippians about
some people "whose god is their
belly" If he had lived in our day be
would have said, "Whose god is their
money" The Almighty may reign,
but 1t is Mammon who is god. There

as being frequented by wealthy cou-
gregations." The popular god ha,

So strong is Mammon piety, that mar

other devotee, never slackens the zeal

money. The names of such devoted
servants of gold, their deeds, and the
amount Of their contributions to Nam

the newspaper columns every week or

is out OF fashion, but as hard as the
Ephssians we can shout; "Great is

find around them. These reports are
published at intervals, and they con-
tain much which would benefit our
people II more generally known. Con-
sui Rsimer, stationed at Santiago de
Cuba, in Cuba, reported in June last
that the Juragua iron mines there are
doing prosperous business, and adds:
"The iron mines that furnish the ore
which is transported to Philadelphia
Il regret to say at present in English
bottoms, which precludes the posi-
bility Of importing goods from the
United States by these steamers, as
England does not enjoy the privilege
Of favored nation by treaty with
SPAIN are considered by the officers
Of this company to be inexhaustible."
Here Is the complaint, once more,
that comes from every quarter, show
ing now American trade is injured by
the effects OF our high tariff and anti
quated navigation laws that have de
stroyed our once furnishing mer-
chant service. We buy very
largely of Cuba and have to pay other
nations to bring what We buy
to our own shores. No wonder, then,
that we find the same Consul saying:
"During the past years the CONNER
cial necessities Of this district have
been largely supplied by Ger man, En-.
glish and Spanish products and manu-.
features, but our more advantageous
geographical position toward this
island and tbs excellence of our own
manufactures and goods must aud
will give us the supremacy by proper
and judicious fostering and aiding the
introduction Of our manufacture, and
products. Blu. the commanders OF
foreign shipping will neither aid, fos.
ter, nor encourage American trade.
We want our own citizens to be In
that position, and they would push
and extend our commerce. The
remedy for the evil We are suffering
from is to have the ship owner free to
buy his ships where he caa bny them
cheapest and run them under the
American flag.

Virgin and ,ho Earthquake.

NEW York, September 9.-An OF
tawa dispatch to the Times says: Prof.
E. Stone Virgins, of this city, has
submitted documentary and other
proofs to the Minister OF Marine, going
to show that he predicted as far back
as March OF last year the earthquakes
which are prevailing in the South.
He aleo announces in the Ottawa
Journal OF May 3lst last, the approach
OF subterraneous disturbances in the
same loo Atty. The professor declared
that the worst has not yet been
reached and claims that the greatest
strain will be felt between this period
and the middle OF October. The
Southern States will again be visited
by earthquakes, and the disturbance
will extend to California and South
America.
On teing asked for his reasons for
making tbs prediction, Wigg MS said:
Earthquakes ara caused by the ehi t..
ing OF the eanh's csnter Of gravity.
Suppose this center of gravity to be
moved, cay ons mile from her normal
center Of CAVITY, or from her center OF
volume, low, what must happen
Why, the parts Of her surface at the
end of the longer axis will be heavier
and the parts az he end of the shorter
axis VIII be lighter than normally.
These disks, therefore, will grind
upon each ether, generating heat and
lava. Hence ear.hqp akes and volcanic
eruptions. II our little visible satellite
were brought down and tlid around
the earth from east to west in twenty
four hours earthquakes would Cccuc Of
such v,olence as to render our globe
uninhabltable. Piof. Virgins claims
that these forces were in acton at the
end OF August. Both of the eArth's
satellites, two OF which he says exist,
were then in Perigree. Jupiter was
also near his iofericr conjunction,
which If limited degree increased
the strain.

THE STATE LEGIsLArURE.

The people Of Shelby county have
learned to regard public Office public
trust end in filling them look more 10
qualifications than personal contidtrs-
tons. This rule should be especially
observed in the selection OF candidates
for the State Legsla ure. Democrats
in all the city wards and civil districts
are comparing notes with the view OF
securing the nomination of men CT
ability and popularity. 1t is to be
regretted that 81 many men are urged
as cand dates for the State Senate, aud
80 few for the House OF Representa-
tive. Henry J. Lynn, the II IN. A.
II. Douglass and the Hon. w. w. Nc
Dowell are urged by their friends
as candidates for the Senate. They
are just such men as are need
ed in the Legislature. But
all three will be urged for
the Senste when only two Senators
are 10 be elected. II the country
should claim one Sena or only one OF
the above named gentlemen could se-
cure nomination and thus the people
would be deprived OF the services of
two good men. There ere five men,
bers to be elected to the lower branch
OF the LeRis azure, and 1t is TO be re-
GREETED that the people will be depriv-
ed OF the valuable services OF good
men because go many aspire to the
State Senate. The Democratic party
needs to be represented on the floor OF
the next SAFE Legislature by its best
intelligence and it's widest public ex-
rerlence. Mcdowell, Douglass and
lynn are types Of the men needed,
but all three cannot be elected 10 TIE
Senate, and II their friends would
avail themselves OF their ability,
large business experience ard estab-
lished regulations fer integrity and
great popularity they cannot succeed
by urging ell three for the Senate
when only two ars to be elected, and
possibly the country will claim one
Senator. 1t is hoped that there will
be no uuseemly scramble in the selec-
ton of Democratic ticket, as csndi-
dates for the Legislature. No objeC-
tionable men have been suggested as
candidates. Only the best men and
the best talents OF the county have
been recommended, and at present II
seems impossible for the convention
to make mistake. But to secure the
benefit Of the popularity and ability
OF the names urged there should DO
fewer aspirants fer the Senate ard
more for the House of Representa-
tivas

Many journals, we observe, speak Of
Alexander's abdication as ruler Of
Bulgaria as an act OF pusillanimity,
Such remarks are made without a,ten.
ton to the circumstances. Alexander
was striving 10 rescue Bulgaria from
Russian domination, and the Russian
Government hated him in consequence.
Against that enmity Alexander had
no support from the other powers. He
was left defenseless against the greatest
military power in the world. lie
was carried of, but not detained, to
Russian territory. What communica-
ton he received there we do not
know, but it evidently convinced him
that TO remain in power without the
Cars permission would bring war
upon q people he loved, and whose
battles he had fought. He would not
resign in captivity. He returned 10
his people, and after an attempt to
notify the Car, which met with bru-
tai and arrogant reply, he resigned
his position into the hands Of a people
who were faithful to him, and thus
his resignation was made with the
dignity becoming his station, and was
made to save his people from the hor.
rors of war, and the misery OF being
domineered over by Russian officials
and Russian soldiers. 1t appears from
these facts that the Prince, laying
aside considerations Of personal am.
btion, considered only the welfare Of
the people and OF the national inter
ests. The Bucharest correspondent Of
the New York Herald states positively
"If any hitch occur in the pr.
gramms, and il ant,-Ruseiau
demonstrations take place, the
Russian troops will enter Bulgaria, and
.he country will be placed under mill
tary regime. The London 81. SteUem
Review throws light upon the libers
lion OF Alexander from Russian terri
tory. Alexander is brother to son
in-law of Queen Victoria. She sent 4
telegram from Balmoral to st. Peters
burg, and by her interference saved
Alexander from being imprisoned in
a Russian fortress.
