Of the mails ON steamships as Il does for
the mails carried by steamboats, on the
lakes and on tho rivers. aud also by the
railroads. Tho laborer Is always worthy
Of his hire. But subsidy is not airc. II
means something for nothing aud Is
wholly and altogether an abuse Of the
laws and is thereiore unconstitutional. II Is
aspecies Of protection, in fact tits the worst
species and Is therefore gross abuse.
What the country needs Is free ships. II
does not need subsidized steamship lines,
but the repeal OF the navigation laws and
the abolition OF all duties on raw materials
that enter into the construction Of ships.
Free ships make for free trade. II Il
that which assures and secures to Great
Britain the carrying trade Of tho world.
II is not subsidy nor the carrying OF the
mails. The 100000 paid by that coun.
try for the transportation Of the mails Is a
mere bagatollo compared with the profits
that It's people derive from the carrying Of
trcighis as is shown from the above fg.
urcs. Freedom means expansion and
growth aud profits and riches. Subsidy
means restriction and personal greed OF
gain. When the United States owns FREQ
ships and enjoys free trade, then they will
be free to cope aud cope successfully with
Great Britain In the markets OF the world,
aud not til then.

GROWN JUROR CULVER LEG
 TURED. s'c

Attorney Longanecker Gets Excited and
 Talks Plainly to the Man Who Saved
 Three Necks.
 Juror John Culver, who saved the necks Chicago, "Wednesday, the 18th, for the first time since he returned to his home. He went directly to States Attorney Longenecker's office. The public prosecutor was greeted by the now famous juror as "pear Brother Joel" MT. Longenecker got mad all over in brother Joel, any more," he cried, as he re- fused to grasp Culycr's extended hand. II don't know what to make of you. l don't pretend to say that your motive in voting as you did was anything but honorable, but do not care to talk with you. You have made 8 mistake in coming here. You told me, Cu- yer, when appealed to you personally as an old friend, and your answer is in the record of this case, that you did not believe the charge of conspiracy why did you say that? You talked about the case all the time, even before Forests speech. as If you thought was at the head of a conspiracy to take the lives of five men. tell you, Culver, you have no business here. In the jury room you maligned and cd as witnesses for the state, and you have accused me of conspiracy, but I shall not waste breath on so miserable an object as you are. tell you, Culver, that you are elLneF OlSnOnest or IOOi. From my past experience with you admit that you are not fool"
 Culver was plainly nervous during this ter rib'e onslaught, and backed his way toward the door. Banker Kean tried to act as peacemaker, but the now thoroughly aroused prosecutor turned upon him also, and in a loud voice commanded him to hold his tongue. The two men then left the building.
 Stories about the stormy session in the jury room are still coming to the public. Culver held out for the acquittal of all the prisoners until the last moment, when he cast his bal .sed oi aor ha ae Md ae poas n nroa the blood of those men on my soul" The trial of the five jury bribers will begin the first week in January

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Congressman Morse, Mass, thinks Con- gressmen should be allowed clerks.
 The Secretary of State has sent the follow ing cable message to Explorer Stanley:
 DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
 WASHINGTON, Dec. IA, 1889.
 I am directed by the President of the United States to tender his congratulations to you upon the success which attended your long tour of discovery through Africa, and upon the advantages which may accrue therefrom to the civilized world.
 Congressman Burrows of Michigan will take a prominent part during the present session in trying to cripple the trusts, which are. he believes, needlessly increasing the cost of the necessaries of life. He is 8 mem- Der of the committee on manufactures, and | at the same time retains his old place on the committee on ways and means, which will enable him to secure harmony in the work of the two committees.
 The present Congress will be asked to pro- vide for an increase in the compensation of railway mail clerks. It is proposed that pos tnl clerks who are assigned to routes of from 15O to POO miles shall receive $120O per an- mum; on routes of from 800 to $50 miles, $500; on trunk lines where the mail is very heavy and the routes are from 400 to 500 miles, and four clerks are required, $500. $14O0, $500 and $12OO respectively. There is also provision in tbc proposed bill which S1VcS to the WluOW or nearest rclatiVe or any railway mail clerk who loses his life while in the service. one years pay at the rate receiv- ed by the deceased.
 | Secretary Tracy has been before the Senate | committee on naval affairs when Senator l Hae's bill to further increase the naval estab- 1 lishment was under consideration. The bill | as introduced authorizes the President to have constructed by contract eight battle l ships of 75oO to 10,0eO tons displacement, two armored coast defence vessels, three gum boats of 800 to 1900 tons displacement, and | five first-class torpedo boats. He favored the construction of the vessels set forth in the 1 bill. l By the terms of the proposed extradition treaty with England the number of extradt- able offences in largely increased, the most | important addition being that of embezzlc- ment, so that, If the treaty be ratified, Canada l and the United States will cease to exchange a class of undesirable residents, who have hitherto secured immunity from punishment. The Senate committee on territories will report bills providing for the admission of Idaho and Wyoming as states. The dele gates from those territories-Dubois of Idaho and Carr of Wyoming-sre working hard for their admission.
