Taxed Out of Existence.

1t is not a matter of wonder that our car
rying trade Is in the hands of foreigners
Millions Of dollars go into the POCKETS OF
British shipowners annually because
American ships cannot be maintained in
competition with British ships. II Amen-
can citizens were permitted to buy SHIPS
where they can buy them at the lowest
price it would not be long before ships sail
ing under the American flag and owned by
American citizens would be doing larger
share of the foreign carrying trade.
The Republican party, however, says that
it is of more Importance that American
shipbuilders shall be protected than that
American citizens shall do a fair share OF
the foreign carrying trade. Owing to the
tariff American shipbuilders cannot build

| land. and. therefore, Americans do not have
| ships built Hence foreigners have absolute
control Of our foreign carrying trade.
American shipbuilders are benefited very
little while tue country pays millions OF
dollars every year to foreigners for carrying
its products TO foreign markets and bringing
back its imports.
Inc law Il LldL ItItlBu Dulit NCoSSiS
owned by American citizens must pay a
duty Of 80 cents per registered ton every
time they enter port of the United States.
Until recently this law lad not been strictly
enforced as to small vessels and yachts. 1t
is being enforced now, however. The other
day Mr. Fred " Vanderbilt entered the
port Of New York in his steam yacht,
which he purchased in Europe. She regis
ters $50 tons, and the collector called on
him for Sl93. He appealed to the Secretary
of the Treasury but got no relief. lie had
to pay the amount demanded of him and be
will have to pay that amount every time he
enters the port of New York OF any other
port of the Unit ed States. The yacht is
not very profitable one to Mr.. Vanderbilt.
There is q number of foreign built vessels
in this country owned by American citizens.
The law will be enforced against them.
These vessels, therefore, are virtually value
less. They cannot be run at profit on &C
count of the tonnage tax.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company is
having a compile of steamers built in
England. IL is doubtful if they can stand
the tonnage tax. AS long as the protection
policy of the Republican party prevails
Americans will have no ships upon the
ocean engaged in foreign trade.

An Indian Scare.

When fear stands at ones elbow il is easy to
find dangers ahead. In the early settlement of
New Gloucester, Me-, a blockhouse was found
necessary in which the people could assemble
for safety and mutual defense against the In
dians, runs a sketch in the Youths COInDd fliOn.
1t was understood, says one of the cary settlers
that if any one saw Indians about he should
sound IN alarm on the tin horn. and the folks
should get to the blockhouse as quickly as pos
sible. One fall we were kept pretty well stirred
M BY the redskins ugly FRANKS.
Two men were killed and scalped on the out
skirts of the town and their horses carried off.
A child was lost in some way, and most people
laid it to the skuking savages, who. they sup
posed, had stolen her. A house was fred in the
next settlement and everything carried away,
and we expected mischief any minute.
One afternoon ID October. about dusk. there
came sudden and tremendous horn blowing.
That meant the indians were near. Folks
stopped whatever they were doing and hurried
TO the blockhOuse-Inen, women and children.
The horn blown that way brought a persons
heart into his mouth
When we were all inside and the great door
was shut we began 10 inquire what was up
and who had seen any Indians, A young fellow,
Smith believe was his name, had given the
alarm. and now said that he saw an Indian in a
tree recommending, not dozen rods from the
blockhOuSe. He made no doubt the rest of the
party were near; and he had been afraid we
would be attacked before we could all get in
side the blockhouse.
The guns were ready and the men took up
their stations at the lOopholes, and we waited
and watched for long time. Some were sure
they could make out, by the moon, that the
redskin still in the tree.
He doesn't dare to get down. said one and
another, for fear he'll get peppered.' Some
were for firing at the tree, but the older ones
said we had better wait and not be the first to
Shed blood, and this wise counsel prevailed.
have noticed all through my life, that it is
always never best to be the first to start a fuss
Finally Ben Hammond. who had been cover
ing that tree with his gun, turned suddenly
around and declared that he was going out to
get a higher view of that redskin. The women
were dreadfully scared and begged him not to
be rash. But Ben smiled, unbolted the door and
went out.
He went up close to the tree and burst out
laughing heartily.
Come out here, he shouted and see this
Indian up tree"
The Indian in that tree was only bear cub.
But to pay for our scare we had plenty of bear
meat in the settlement for week afterward.

His Dog VOL Named.

Robert Lee Grant is a bright clerk at the
Palmer, says the Chicago Herald. He came
from Virginia few months ago, and has been
anxious to get out on the blue waters of Lake
Michigan and fish. Saturday he was given a
chance. From early morn till dark he threw
line into the water only to pull it out again.
He was tired when he went back to the hotel
last night. He had been fishing fourteen hours
hardly knew him when he returned to the
hotel This dog was presented to the young
clerk week ago, and no one about the big
hoStelry had been able to submit a satisfactory
name for the beast.

Famine really seems to be i'm pending in
Russia and in very formidable form.
Miracles might yet ward off the danger"
says the st. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Daily Telegraph, agricultural
aud meteorological wonders do occasionally
crop 10 even in the nineteenth century, and
a seasonable series of them just now might
prevent the record of several centuries be
ing beaten. Otherwise experts, who base
their view on the official accounts of the
state of the crops published in the first
week in June by tho minister of finance in
the official organ Of the ministry. have no
hesitation in prophesying that the high
water mark Of desolation and misery will
be left far behind this year Early frost,
destructive hail and continued drought have
effectually done their work" Heretofore
the prohibition of exporting grain seemed
but another arbitrary decree of an auto
crat. But with such restitution laid bare
almost anything that will relieve the pros
pective suffering seems UNSUITABLE.

Join the Followers of st. John.

All over the Spanish countries
ST. John the Baptist is regarded as the
especial patron saint of the bathers because
sacred history tells US that she went down
into the water" Consequently the inhab-
itants gaily decorate their bath houses, and
celebrate the oath day of June each year
with sort Of bathing carnival. 1t Is GER
tainly very wholesome AMI commendable
sort Of celebration, quite worthy of general
imitation in other countries.
But this brings to mind that such car
nival could scarcely be successfully held in
this country, because we have no public
baths to speak Of Yet we should have
them, and plenty of them. Nothing is more
conducive to public health than personal
cleanliness as well as public sanitary pre-
cautions.
Few people are naturally inclined to I'M
cleanliness. 1t is the lack of facilities for
bathing that makes them appear 80. With
fair opportunities the habits of cleanliness
would grow upon them, greatly to the adj
vantage Of the general health. But there
are thousands who cannot afford to main
tain private baths. Nor can they afford to
pay the charges at the average public bath.
To them such free institution would be q
boon that would be appreciated par ticulsrly
in these oppressively hot days.
Maintaining public free swimming baths in
sufficient number to afford accommodation
for all who wish to avail themselves of the
privilege would not be very expensive for
this city, and the cost would probably be
more than equaled by the reduced cost of
supplies necessary to conducting the public
dispensary and the city hospitals.
Give the poor a chance to keep clean.
Water is cheaper than physic.

TOO Much Demanded OF

Too Much Demanded OF the Military.
The state has never dealt fairly with its
military organizations. The last legislature
recognized that it owed them something
and made a small appropriation for
their benefit. 1t looks as if this legisla-
ture would withhold even that appropria-
ton.
1t seems as if the state wanted the benefits
which arise from the military organizations
without giving anything in return. A
policy OF that kind will not pay in the long
run. The organizations will become tired
after awhile of bearing all the expenses
necessary to qualify them for service in
times Of emergency and will disband. The
soldiery has been very patient under the
treatment it has received from the state,
but it doesn't follow that it will continue to
be patient.
The expenses OF a military organization
are burdensome. There are members in all
the organizations who make sacrifices to
meet the tax which their membership i'm
poses upon them. Ii the state fails to APP
preciate these sacrifices and refuses to lend
a helping hand it may find itself without
any organized militia one of those days.
the legislature complains Of a want of
money. Perhaps it might cut down its own
expenses little. There are ways in which
its sessions could be shortened very con-
siderably without loss to the state. Those
ways have been pointed out, but no notice
has been taken of them. And suggestions
have been made as to how the states rev.
enues could be increased without increasing
the rate Of taxation, but they do not appear
to have been favorably received.
The military organizations ask for very
little. In view of the necessity for their
existence it would certainly show lack OF
wisdom to deny them that little.

She loved him in return,
And they thought no fate

Hearts that like theirs did burn.
But she became a victim

To hold the wheel in place.
