The Free Ship Bill.

tt is PSI oable that one of the first bills
TO be brought before the House after the
appropriation bills have been disposed Of
will be the Fithian free ship bill. The
purpose Of the bill is TO grant American
registry to foreign built vessels, other
wise, to permit Americans TO buy vessels
for foreign trade where theycan get them
cheapest. The bill has gone through the
mill Of the committee. and is on the cal
endar, accompanied by favorab Bile report.
The principal opposition to the bill viii

American shipping, duriDgsthe last thirty
odd years has been protected to death;
the rest of the country, with few eXcep-
tions, will favor it. Unless Senator
John Sherman has undergone a rad
zeal change of mind in recent years,
even he viii favor the bill for in 1869
he made a speech for free ships. arguing
that as America could not afford TO build
ships within 20 or 50 per cent of their
cost in England, they should be admitted
free to this country. He believed then
that we could, and should, place Ameri-
can flags and American crews on such
ships, and have American lines instead Of
British lines. The senator may be in
duced by the exigencies Of the political
situation to talk otherwise now, but what
he said then applies now with as much
force as it did then.
The effects of our protective system
upon American shipping are eloquently
told by few figures. In 1865 the Ameri-
can tonnage engaged IN the foreign trade
amour ted in round numbers, to $50 900
tons. That was under free
ship system, and when the resources
of this country We're in crude
state of development as compared with
the development of to-day. In 1898 the
American tonnage engaged in the foreign
carrying trade amounted in round num-
bers, to SS4 900 tons This appalling de-
cadence was under and influenced by the
protection" afforded by congress to
American shipbuilders and shipping. On
the other hand, England has followed up
free ship policy, and to-day stands at
the head in both carrying and shipbuild-
ing. The enormous proportions Of Eng
lands shipbuilding trade is an answer to
the argument that free ships would de-
stroy the American shipbui.ding indus
try. An abundance Of ships leads to an
equal amount of repairing, which in turn
stimulates building, as England has
proved and Germany is now proving.

The Referendum in Massachusetts,
The Swiss "initiatiVe and referendum"
system of government Is to be tried by q
Massachusetts municipality. The city Of
Hayerhill, through its council, has petit
toned the legislature to amend it's charter
so that the system may be applied to city
legislation. The departure has been en-
dorsed by both the Democratic ana Re
publican parties, so that the proposed
new method of city government will prob
ably have fair trial.
The plan Haverhill wishes to adopt pro
vides that all ordinances passed by the
municipal council shall be classified as
urgent and ''n0u-urgent" The ur-
gent ordinances are to be those
that refer to public health and
peace, and those that appropriate
money in any department to a greater
amount than the average sum appro.
priated for the preceding three years in
that department. Such ordinances are
not to come within the operation of the
referendum, and will take effect as soon
as passed. All other ordinances are to be
"non-urgent," and become operative in
thirty days, unless in the meantime a
petition, signed by Is per cent of the
voters Of the city who voted at the pre-
ceding regular election, shall be filed with
the city clerk, asking for the submission
of the ordinance to a popular vote for
adoption or rejection.
In the event of an application, in proper
form, for the submission of the matter to
the people, the title of the ordinance is to
be printed on the ballot australian
SYSTEM in the same general man
ner that candidates names are
arranged, with square blank spaces oppo-
site the subject to be voted for or against,
in which the voter will indicate his
preference. If there should b a number
of ordinances thus pending, their titles
would go to greatly increase the size Of
the ballot. Elections are TO be held once
year, and at each election all mon
urgent ordinances that have been ordered
referred to the people must be balloted
upon. The ordering of an election on any
ordinance is to take it out OF the mayors
hands; he may not veto it while the cleo
ton is pending, nor may he veto it if at
the election a majority of the votes cast
are in favor of it. Thus the mayor is to
be shorn of considerable of his power
There are, of course, minor details to
the scheme, but the above are its main
features. Ii it works well in HaverhilI,
which is a city of 10000 inhabitants,
other snail cities may try it,

salary of a member of the department
eyho was laid up by sickness Or injuries.
~ The matter of fire escapes on the
school houses was brought up by Com
missioner freeman. He contended that
the proper authorities should be
/ punched up, and some action taken
looking to putting up escapes on the
buildings. Commissioner Martin, chair
man OF the committee having the mat
ter In charge, said that he had been un-
able to find the building inspector, but
he would make an effort to see that
official this week
Chief Jackson reported the resigna-
ton of Daniel Harvey. pipeman of
Engine Company No. 6, and the promo
ton OF {. E. Jurgens to the place. Six
horses in the department were reported
as unfit for service. and the council will
be asked to allow them TO be sold and
replaced.
The Society of Qualified Veterinary
Surgeons of st. Paul' sent in COM
munication asking that the present plan
of letting the veterinary work by con-
tract be discarded and some plan adopt
ed which would be more likely to Sc
cure services such as the needs of the
department demanded. The communi-
cation was signed by r. White. nreSi-
dent, and Richard Price. secretary. of
the society. Commissioner Martin said
that the board was satisfied with what
they wanted without any recommends
lions. and Commissioner Mitsch said
the same parties who were now object
ing to the plan were the ones who a
year ago favored it.
The pay roll for March. amounting to
s14.SS7, was approved, the secretary
stating that the sum was $685. less than
the roll for the corresponding month
last year.
