votes must soon be given for against the
Shipping bill. In another column to-day We

principal portions of Mr.. Dingley's recent
speech 1t is a mastery argument, truthful in
its statements of fact and unanswerabe in IFS
logic There is no objection that has even 4
scmblance Of reason in it 10 the policy Of build
ing up our merchant marine by means OF bCun-
ties and postal subsidies except the objection
that it takes the public money 10 support pri-
vate business-Or, in other words, that il taxes
the community for the benefit of individuals.
If this were the whole truth it would settle
the matter. Nobody advocates doing that.
Civil society. however is a complex affair. It
is vast system of interdependency. Of course
bounties and subventionS are good things for
shipownerS But the ground upon which they

These are the facts We have an enormous

and greater per thousand of the population
II is trade too, that can be enormOuSll"in in
creased, if rapid and direct communications can
be established between our ports and those OF
countries that are signifyng their wish to do
business with us. But we have no ships. The
cargoes now moved from and into our country
go to enrich foreign shpowncs and to create
foreign auxiliary navies of war. In this stu.
alton is the demand for commercial marine.

TtSTI\G TIME.

Do Democratic Senators imagine that The
people Of this country approve their studied ana
insolcnt waste Of time? They profess great
anxiety for freedom of debate. They beg the
country 10 regard them as dcvotedly patriotic
gentlemen who want the people 10 know all
about measures pending, and therefore stand
bcrojcaly for maintenance of the rules which
make il impossible TO restrict discussion. Yet
what does the country actually see? 1t sees
a Democratic Senator pretending to discuss the
Silver bill, without any Senator 10 listen to
him, engaged in reading old speeches from
files of THE Congressional Globe occupying
the whole day in that way, and gong to the
antc-rooms when he is tired for needed rest and
refreshments leaving another Democratic Sen
ator to continue the reading Of old speeches as
part of his speech
There is not the fantcst prctencc Of dis
cnssion in this performance or IN any part OF
Democratic performances Of late. The pal
pabc object is to kill time. Publicly, honor
able Senators pretend that it would be a dread
FIJI wrong to limi, their opportunity to SGT be-
fore the senate and the country the meaning
of measures pending. But in private they
avow their intention 10 Use up the session, 50
that the majority snail not De dDlc 10 PISS I'M
portant measures. Every member has made
ND his mind about the Silver bill and It's pro-
posed alteration, and not a Democratic Senator
ha, any notion Of changing the opinion of a
single member by speaking. Indeed, IT is not
the Silver bill that any Democrat wishes to
delay. but another measure which the silver
interest has helped the Democrats TO thrust
aside. BE il admitted, if any one pleaseS, that
the right TO discuss measure until the country
has time to learn about it, and to make its in
tuence felt is indeed "A valuable one, which
ought not to he lightly denied But those for
felt rights who deliberately and dishonesty
abuse them Could anything conceivable do
more TO make the Senate and the people ready
to suppress debate than is done by the gross
abuse of Senatorial freedom Of discussion?
The TRIBUNE does not think the people in
different - this business. II is much mis-
taken if there Is not growing disgust with the
conduct of Democratic Senators and Repre-
scntativcS which will be felt in elections here
after. 1t is on this ground, in part, that some
worthy Republican Senators have been rcluc-
tant to change the rules for they reason that
the Democrats cannot thus outra gcOusy abuse

she has lived alone for the last twenty years
in n wild ncighborhOod, several miles from the

rncd one night by sranrc noise on the roof
Hastily dressing, she stepped ont of the one door
of the cabin and looked up Wlct was her horror
10 see in the bright moonlight an immense iasuar
alternately scratching al the shingles and gnaw-
ing at the corner If the chimney, and occasionally
striking the roof violently with his tail and max

moment, when she quickly went back in and
bottled the door She had no weapons of any kind.
The night was bitter cold. and it. occurred to her
