SHIP BUILDING AS II PROTECTED
INDUSTRY.

According to Il recent statement OF the
press contracts have been given out for the
construction of five large ocean steamers
IN Philadelphia. Not one Of these ships
would have been built had it not been for
ths favorable legislation OF Congress.
These ships are for the International Nayi-
cation Company. They will be 600 feet
long, OF the largest tonnage ever built in
this country, and the expenditure will be
over $4,000, 900. These ships are to be built
under the postal subsidy on plans approved
By the Secretary of the Navy. They will
be designed with view of turning them
into cruisers in case the Government should
need them. In that event fair price will
be paid for them. The real purpose Of
the postal subsidy act was to encourage
American ship-building. 1t is the settled
policy of the present administration to
discontinue the mail service In foreign
ships. American ships are to perform this
service.
In addition to that subsidy another was
proposed, known as the tonnage bill Had
that bill passed American shipyards from
one end OF the country to the other would
have been hives of industry. A fleet of
commercial ships would by this time have
been well advanced, and in a short time IL
trade Of this country. That measure failed
through the strenuous opposition Of Demo-
Gratis in Congress who declared that the
bill involved the principle of protection,
and they would never support such meas
ure. 1t would have been the means of far
nishiBg employment to many thousands of
skilled laborers, and millions of dollars
would have been turned over to them as
wages. But the announcement of Ameri-
can industry found no favor with the Demo
cTats.
The postal subsidy bill met with strong
opposition but finally passed because the
prlDclple or protection was somewhat OBJ
scure. Incidentally. however, 1t is a pro-
lection measure as much as any part of the
| Mckinley tariff. 1t is the principle on
| which war is made now by the Democratic
| party according to the dictum laid down by
| the leaders of that party. Protection In
their view ought to be abolished in every
| shape and form. There ought to be nothing
| OF that kind for the encouragement of any
American industry. No encouragement
should be given in that form to ship-build-
ing in this country. But incidental protec-
tion in the form of postal subsidies is
already building up an American marine.
Recently contract was given out for the
construction of new Cunarder. the Cam
pania. the largest merchant ship ever put
afloat except the Great Eastern. The
owners Of this great ship, intended to be the
fastest in the world. will not only receive a
mail subsidy, but an Admiralty subsidy
! from the British Government by way OF en-
couragement. But according to the Demo-
cratic dietum now promulgated, what is
good for the encouragement of British ships
Is not good for the encouragement of an
American ship-building industry.

PARTIAL CoNFIsCATIoN.

Ten of twelve Supervisors voted Monday
night to close certain streets in the southern
part OF the city at the request Of Mr.. Hunt
tngton. The Southern Pacific Company is
not. however. yet out of the woods. 1t is
not clear that the Supervisors have power
to close public streets. The fact that doubt
full powers have been exercised in closing a
few alleys without vigorous protest does not
form precedent. The question people will
ask themselves is, Ii three or four main
streets may be declared closed to the serious
loss to the owners of real estate Ia the por-
tions of the streets remaining open, what is
there in the way of confseation the board
may not do at the request OF powerful
corporation? No one will contend that the
closing Of the streets in question does not
inlet serious pecuniary injury upon prop
erty-holders. Has the board moral right

THE INTERSTATE oomMEnoE LAW.

A decision was recently rendered by the
United States Supreme Court which will
render the interstate commerce act Of
greater service to the people than it has
been up to the present time. The facts in
brief are as follows: The Texas Pacific
Railroad Company. in connection with the
Southern Pacific, shipped goods from Liv-
erpool over its lines to San Francisco at half
rates as compared with charges on the same
class of goods from New York. When
cited before the Interstate Railroad Com
mission the defense was that, owing to the
competition of sailing vessels, the railroad
companies had to take goods at these lower
prices in order to get share of the through
trade. The commission ruled that the plea
was not good one; the railroad companies
appealed to the Federal court. The court
upheld the decision Of the commission and
at the same time prohibited the two CON-
panies from making rates for foreign goods
that they do not make for American goods.
An example of railroad discrimination Is
given. The rate for books, carpets and cut

ORCHID TEA.
Beverage of Which Frenchmen Are
Said to Be Fond.
Philadelphia Tines


1t appears that Frenchmen have been
drinking orchid tea for fifty years and that
the consumption OF this expensive delicaey
has much Increased of late. The orchid from
which the tea is made is mem ber of one Of
the handsomest and most expensive fami-
lies, the Argroecum. Ii grows in the
forests Of Bourbon and MauTitius, and the
scientific know it as Argroeeum fragrans.
The commercial virtues OF the plant lie in
the strong perfume of its leaves.
The genus is allied 10 vanilla, and it Is
only necessary ITO touch the fresh leaves
for the fingers to remain impregnated with
the aroma" which remains after the leaves
have been dried. This process is very
simple, apparently. No heat is applied and
no coiOTIng matter.
The dec0ctiOn is equally easy. Yon Just
lay the leaves and stalks in cold water,
about one gramme TO a teacup-more or
less, according to taste-close the vessel
tight and boil for ten minutes. The tea
may be sweetened. and milk and rum
bring out the flavor OF the Vanilla more
strongly. II is as good cold as hot, and
may be warmed up without deterioration

tunately, in this part of the country the
time is up for this kind OF talk. The as
sumption that the Presidency in this
country is up at auction is as unfounded as
disereditabe. Both parties use money. but
the number of votes that can be influenced
in this way is Insignificant in comparison
with the whole. La 1888 the Democrats had

ELECTION RETURNS.

Election returns from the Eastern States
make the election of Cleveland rea-
sonabiy certain. The cities Of New York
and Brooklyn have rolled I'D Demo-
cratic msjorities Of from $4,000 to 100, OJo.
This is largely ia excess Of recent Demo-
cratic ma iorites in their strongholds and
doubtless assures the electoral vote of
the State to Cleveland. New Jersey and
Connecticut must be added to New York's
IS votes, making 80 Northern votes to be
added to 159 from the Southern States
There may be some doubt about West Viz
ginia. but the tide that has set in for Cleye-
land does rot leave much hope of a single
Republican Southern State. At the present
writing the States that may be accorded to
Cleveland are as follows:

Illinois. which was considered certain for
Harrison. is probably Democratic, aud
Indiana, which was classed as q doubtful
State, IS probably Republican. Either of
these States added TO the Democratic column
gives Cleveland clear ma jority of the cleo
toral vote.
Ii wonld be idle at the present time to
speculate upon the causes that have pro-
duced this result. The voters have spoken
and their will is the law. The election of
Harrison in 1888 and of Cleveland in 1892
controvert proposition which has been ex-
tensVely entertained that an American
President could perpetuate his party in
power. Cleveland was defeated with all the
Federal patronage at his disposal and Harrf-
son Is now defeated under like conditions. If
the lesson teaches snything it is thata Presi-
dent should not be nominated to succeed
himself Federal patronage seems to be a
source Of weakness rather than Of strength.
While the defeat of Harrison is to be de-
plored, in the long run it may be a gain to
republican institutions that a President has
so little influence over the election of his
successor. The election Of Cleveland un-
doubtediy carries a Democratic majority in
the next Congress. Logically, the people
may be said to have declared again 8,
the principle of the Mckinley tar
if. 1t does not follow, however, tha,
the tariff plank Of the Democratic plat
form has been indorsed as Mr.. Cleveland
has carefully avoided the direct Issue made
in the Chicago platform. The voters of
New York. New Jersey aud Connecticut did
not vote for Cleveland in the expectation
that tariff policy would be adopted that
would ignore the principles of protection to
American industries. They have voted
rather to try that somewhat vague policy
described Under the general term Of tariff
reform.
EAs to California. the returns received IN
TO midnight are insufficient to form a
decided opinion. The scattering returns
from the interior would seem to indicate
that the next Legislature may be Demo
cratic.

The Fiendish Crime OF Negro, Who

der was brought to light this morning
and the discovery of the body of Lydia
Ann Newly, colored, lying on the
floor of room in her home at Sixth-st.
and Kaighns-ave., this city. The head

struggle were visible in the room. A
bloody hatchet WAS found near the house
and this undoubtedly was the weapon
with which the deed was committed
James r. Moulton, also colored, with
whom the woman had been living, has
been arrested on suspicion of being
the murderer. Police Justice Paul
received information this afternoon,
which, if confirmed shows the
act of tho murderer to be
have been one of the most fiendish on
record. 1t is to the effect that Moulton
had contracted with parties in Philadel-
phia to sell the body of the woman. After

be paid for the corpse, method OF deliv-
cry, etc. the tiend is said TO have deliber-
aieiY mashed in the skull OF his victim

ST. PETERSBURG, May "Details were
received here today in regard to the seri-
Gus labor troubles which have been occur
ring at Loiza, town of Poland, seventy
five miles from Warsaw, where 10000
men have been on a strike since May day,
and have been engaged in riotous demon
stration during which they made violent
attacks on the Jewish residents.
All during last week the unemployed
men had been in an ugly and dangerous
mood, and their anger toward their former
employers and the hated Jews grew so in
tense that itresuited in a series OF disorders
in which a number of human lives and
considerable property We're sacrificed
The rioters later turned their attention to
the Jews living III the place and proceeded
IL force TO the Jewish quarter to carry
out their revengeful designs. The Jews,
having feared an attack from the strikers,
had made preparations to defend their
lives and property. and they offered a
most desperate resistance to the invaders
of their homes and many lives were lost.

POSTOFFICE DEFALCATI0N
Deputy Postmaster Wood of Laporte
Arrested for EmbezZlement.

LAPoRTE, May Especial. There is
intense excitement here over the arrest Of
Charles p Wood, deputy postmaster, on
the charge of defaleation.
w. T. Fletcher, postotIice inspector, and
deputy u. S. marshal had been here for
several days inspecting the postofice and
had discovered shortage. He applied TO
L. S. Commissioner Williams for war
rant, informing him that there was a
shortage in the postal note depart
ment of $1.SO0, and in the money order
department Of $3.50.
Wood WAS at once taken into custody
and brought before Commissioners Will
Jams who put him under bond of $1,000
for appearance before the federal court
next Wednesday, at Indianapolis. Wood
admitted his guilt which was a surprise
to all who know him. He has been en-
ployed in the postofiice here for about
eight years, rising from delivery window
clerk to deputy postmaster.
He WAS soon to be married to an only
granddaughter of Buffalo Miller of South
Bend, president of the whisky trust
and treasurer of Cook county. Illinois.
Much sympathy is expressed for Woods
parents who are highly respectable and
among Laporte's best people.
