CONGRESSMAN McADoo's speech on the
Shipping Subsidy bill in the House wednes-
day was mastery argument against that mea-
sure. As Democrat, Mr.. McAdoo could
have taken no other position. Subsidy in any
form is opposed to the cardinal principles Of
the Democratic party, for it is not only an
tagonistic TO the Democratic doctrine of anti
paternity in the General Govern
ment, but il opens the door wide
10 all kinds of jobbery and corruption.
Many excellent men may imagine that
they can see some benefit TO commerce in the
proposed Shipping bin; but if there is any at
all, which is very doubtful, il could only be
secured at the expense OF very important
principle. Fair trade and equitable tariff re-
form will do more real good for commerce
than all the subsidies in the world.

THE WOODWORK TRADE.

The GLOBE continues its series of
weekly articles on local manufacturing
industries this morning with a sketch
of the woodwork trades. This will be
found as interesting and suggestive as
its predecessors, and rehearses facts
which many of our citizens, it is safe to
say, have never realized. st. Paul is
shown to have exceptional facilities for
this line of business. 1t is as near the
source of supply for the raw materials
as any place which can be its rival, and
is supplied with railroads rea ching to
every quarter for the diStrib ution of its
products. In the particular branch
which is most highly developed here,
the So-eaIled sash. door and blind in
dustry, it has already five factories
which have grown in the most graft
flying manner during the past decade.
One section of the city has been prac-
tically created by the presence of one
alone of these concerns, and its tee ming
population enjoys steady employment
and good pay because it is there and for
that reason only. The establishments
already in operation are very emphatic
in declaring that they would welcome
rivals and could reap handsomer profit
if our city could acquire the reputation
of being a center for this kind of work.
There is no reason why sparsely peo-
pied sections should not be built up by
planting similar concerns in their Weigh
hood, and the history of those already
in existence affords encouragement
enough for the investment of capital IN
this line. The field is not the North
west alone, but the entire country; and,
even when the building trades are dull
in the region Immediately tributary to
US, there is no cessation in activity
as long as buildings are going up
anywhere in the Union. At the pres
ent time alone the interior finishings
are making in st. Paul for two of the
worlds fair buildings in ChicagO-the
agricultural and the horticultural halls;
for the famous twenty-One story Ma
sonic block in Chicago, for the new
Equitable building III Denver, for
large building in Seattle, and for new
hotel in Meridian, Miss. If we had
three or four more big factories there
would be a general gain ali along the
line. The projectors of new buildings
would come to think of this place as a
source of supply, and would turn to it
for bids and offers, as matter of course,
If this should once be brought about.
with the lumber at our doors. we should
rank among the first in this very desir-
able department of trade.

TWIN CITIES CLEARINGS.

Some time ago exPublic Examiner Henry
NJ. Knox suggested that the bank clearings
of Minneapolis and st. Paul be sent cut to-
gether as the clearings of the Twin Citia IS
BY so doing he argued the outside world
would be given an idea of the business trans
acted at this center. Yesterday one of the
officers of a mell-known st. Paul bank was
looking over the bank clearngs of the coun-
try for last week. He footed up the clear
ings of st. Paul and Minneapolis aud then
announced that if the idea of Mr.. Knox had
been adopted there would have been but six
cities in the United States with larger clear
ings than these two MINES 1ta cities The
ciearings, as reported By Brsdstreei for last
week for these six cities, were:

NI'KINLEY AND OUR KIDS.

One of the most interesting features
of the few weeks immediately following
a general election is the publication of
the congratulatOry or cOndolatOry tele-
grams received by the different candi-
dates and Of their replies to their friends
and gOOd-wishers. President HARRI-
SONS famous dispatch to WARNER
MILLER. who ''fell outside the breast
works. in 1883, will probably live for
ever in political literature; and is no
doubt read ana reread with great salts
faction, even to this day, by the man who
got it, and who still continues outside
the breastworks, as well as outside the
crib of official patronage. 1t must be
very gratifying to the captains in such
battles to realize that their fellow work
ers remember them in the hour of their
triumph or defeat, and the GLOBE has
noticed with pleasure that WILL
IAN MCKINLEY Jr. has not been
neglected IN this regard after
his signal victory. kilograms have
poured in OH him from every quarter,
and he has the best of reasons for feel
ing that all the prominent statesmen of
his party are with him heart and soul
in his lofty endeavorS. Particularly
pleased is it, however. to notice that the
Republican leaders of Minnesota have
been thoughtful of their duty in this eX-
igency, and the little Napoleon OF pro-
tectioniSm win indeed be envied when
it is known that he has heard kind
words'from Hon. DARIUS T. REESE, of
this city. as well as from BENJAMIN
n
pie who are entirely familiar with the
"kid'' element i'll our local politics may
have feared that their representative
orator, Hen. DARIUS f. REESE, would
not find time among his many engross-
ing engagements to communicate with
his friend and intimate in Ohio. But
any who have thought in this way have
misjudged his delicacy of feeling and
sense of political fitness. lie has
not only sent a telegram, charges
prepaid, to Mr.. MCKINLEY, but has re-
ceived an answer which lets him into an
important secret. Mr.. MCKINLEY has
told him in confidence that "the result
is a great victory for the protective and
financial policy of the Republican
party" The admission of their spolzeS-
man into the inner councils of the party
i'll this fashion shows how thoroughly
the st. Paul ''kids" are appreciated,
even outside the state. The GLOBE
cOngratulates the governor-elect of Ohio
because he enjoys the friendship and
consideration of our 'kids." 1t is
proud of our ''kidS" because they have
the good opinion of the governor-elect
of Ohio. 1t predicts that this CORE
spondence will have powerful infiu-
ence in our next municipal campaign,
and may be the means of appeasing the
hunger of Mr.. KTEFER and the other
gentlemen VIII ''fell outside the breast
works." but who are still available if
st. Paul needs them to govern over it.

BLOODSHED IN BRAZIL.

Strongly confirmed rumOrs of blood
shed in Brazil have been received. The
attempt at absolute dictatorship made
by DA FONsECA appears to have re-
suited in dividing the country into an
tagonistic sections, and consequent dis
turbances in these would-be independ-
ent states attest the violent condition of
anarchy now reigning in Brazil. DA
FoNsECA, it is claimed, has been warned
by his physicians thathe is afflicted with
a disease that must in short time prove
fatal. There is reason to believe that
this fact eXerts all unfayorable influence
upon country whose Mexicanized con-
ditiOns are far from favorable to in
ternal peace. Strong color is given to
sanguinary reports by the apparent
fruitlessness of efforts on the part of
Brazilian traders in this country and

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

A commercial club of the kind which
it is proposed to organize in this city
may be made valuable adjunct to our
other local associations, if it is con-
structed on an intelligent plan and man-
aged with discretion and care. The one
now in process of formation is intended
to combine social features with serious
work for our municipal progress. 1t is
to have club rooms, with restaurant,
where its members can meet and
strangers be entertained; and at the
same time it will undertake to exert it's
concerted influence for or against meas
ures which are calculated to affect st.
PauPS public interests. This is an adj
mirable programme, but can only be
realized after good deal of hard, and
perhaps discouraging work. To found
and maintain a respectable social
club of any sort is a big under
taking. and requires large expenditures
of time and money by somebody. A
cheap club is usually nasty club, and,
after the first enthusiasm wears off,
people cease to visit it, because they do
not enjoy its opportunities. Club life is
a modern invention which has now been
brought to high pitch of perfection, but
which is successfully achieved in only
a few of the many instances in which
it is attempted. A few Objectionable
members are sufficient to wreck such an
organization, ana a few frOwsy meals
will result in falling off in member
ship which will neutralize all that has
been accomplished by very largely at
tended initial meetings. The difficulties
which stand in the way of the othe
object of the proposed new club are
equally great. The influence of the
New York Union League club or Man
haitian club on national politics is
due, not to their size, but to the
character of their membership. The
suggestions of any public body
will be received with respect if
they are known TO emanate from
men of position and character; but, how
ever earnestly urged, will have but lit
tie weight if they are the expression of
the selfish, the insignificant, or the mar
rOw-minded. The utmost care is needed
to guard against folly or DuncOmbe
under such circumstances. Men not
OverWeighted with brains will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity for promi-
nence to advocate steps which are dis
tinctly unWlse; and, If their cOunSels
prevail, the club which follows them
will become an object of general ridI-
culeand contempt, which will be fatal
to its prosperity. The GLOBE speaks of
these things not by way of criticism of
a scheme the statement of which is its
own commendation, but i'll order that
those who are furthering it may have
their attention called to points which
are worthy of consideration.
