THE Washington correspondent of the


The Washington correspondent of the
St Louis Republic says:
The fact is that the average Populist
who has appeared in Washington in or
out of congress has been little short of
mental freak or an ordinary crank. Only
three POpulists have made any impress
sion on congress or in any way won the
respect of those with whom they have
come in contact These three are Sena-
tor Allen, of Nebraska, Jerry Simpson,
of Kansas and LATE Ponce, of Colorado
Alien is q pretty able man, extremely
radical in his views, a fair lawyer,
was a good judge and will size
up as an ordinarily capable legislator. If
he had lived in England in the days of
the commonwealth he would have been
q follower of Ludlow rather than of
Cromwell. Allen is an honest man and
has the courage of his convictions. Jerry
Simpson is perhaps, taking him all in all,
the ablest of the Populist congressional
contingent. He is not an extremist He
is In the main in accord with the tenets
of the Democratic party. He is level
headed. He makes good speech. He
has been studious and careful commit
teeman. He enjoys the respect not only
of members on both sides of the house,
but of everybody who has watched his
career and has come into personal con-
tact with him.
LATE Pence of Colorado is the most
brilliant man the Populists have sent to
congress. He is a silver tongued orator
in more ways than one. His oratory is
always on tap in advocacy OF the free
coinage of silver, aud his voice has that
sweet, soft, penetrating sound usually
denominated "silvery."
Pence is a capable lawyer, an excel
lent debater, q hard student, conservative
on most things and only radical on the
question of free coinage.
Mr. Pence easily takes rank as one of
the dozen best speakers in the house.
He is really a Democrat with a very thin
veneeriug of Populism.
All tie other Populists sent to congress
have bsen mere freaks or nObodies.

fact the proceeds of the bonds have not
been used in that way at all-nothing of

are paid in the greenbacks which the

The Car and Insular Vanity.
1t is etiquette to predicate every vir.
tue In the occupant Of a throne on his
accession to II. What the present EN-
peror of Russia may be, and still more
what he will become under the baneful
influence Of irresponsible power, no
one knows. It has, Of course, been
taken for granted that he is one Of the
wisest and best of human beings, and
Will ever become still wiser and still
better each year that he lives. This is
mere courtly %phraseology. He proba-
bly, Is not better or worse than any
other Russian, for his position is due
to mere blind accident. But what has
particularly amused me in the lauda-
tory l%ucubrations respecting him in
which our press has INDUCED is that it
Is deemed proof positive Of his fitness
for the post Of Emperor of Russia that
he should net not by the advice Of his
own ministers, but by that Of the Prince
OF Wales. and that he should not SO
much look to the interests Of his own
country as to those of ours. There is
an insular vanity in oil this, which is
only equaled by the lectures that our
press has been addressing to him under
the impression that he will read, mark,
learn, and inwardly digest them.-Lon.

Selling Steel to Europc,

will not do, however, to that
an average M plate may be made
cheaper in the United States than in
the countries named. The Bethlehem
works have a process of hardening
plates which competing works do not
possess. The Russian government is
contracting for what is known as Har-
veyized armOr, a kind that it cannot
procure in Europe. But the fact that
an American steel-platc manufactory
can turn out better plates than can be
made in the old countries is a demon
stration Of the wisdom of the protect.
i've policy. Under frce-trade rule we
should have been buying steel armor
of Europe. Now we are selling steel
armor to Europe. If the rule of buying
a thing where it could be made at the
least cost had been followed, we should
have had no steel works ut all. The
success we have made in this steel in
dustry should confirm the Government
in its policy of protecting the ship
building industry. The rule of buying
ships where they can be bought ut the
least cost would be as destructive to
the ship-building industry MS the same
rule would have been applied years

Argument of the Theorizers-ver-
dict Of the People at the Polls Voiced
Their Views ON the Tariff.
Figures, Not Theories.

Figures, Not Theories.
The advocates of the Fithian free
ship bill keep hammcring away with
their deliberate falsehoods that foreign
Governments pay NJ subsidies to their
respective steamship lines, or If any
are paid that they in no way affect the
successful operations of their owners,
who make money out Of their steam
hips merely because they have free
ships and "a have them built any
where.
As another incontrovertible argument
to these theorizers we again submit
facts and give them on a foreign II.
thority, that of the president Of the
Institution of Engineers and Shipbuild-
crs in Scotland, who, in his inaugural
address, said: 1.-THE total sum of sub
sides paid by Great Britain, France.
Germany, Russia and Italy il $16,6577,-
S65, of which Great Britain pays near
~ 20 per cent"
Now let us see what effect subsidies
paid by foreign Governments have up
on the earnings of foreign steamship
companies and their dividends. and we
submit the amount of dividends de-
clared by two French, one German anl
three English steamship companies IL
one year, us follows:

Three of these companies do not

the Messageries Maritimes, Peninsular
and Oriental, and Royal Mail Packet
Company-but they are given merely
as examples to show the effect of sub
sides upon steamer traffic to other
parts of the world, as well as to the
United States. Now, let us see the
amount of subsidies paid to these diff
ferent companies in the same year:

"The British Admiralty paid in addi-
ton SCI, 745 to the P. and o. Line and
$61,5OO to the Cunard Line.
A simple sum in subtraction win
show how the accounts of these foreign
steamship companies would have stool
With their free ships and without sub
sides. Deducting the amount of the
dividends declared from the subsidies
paid and we find that, without a sub
sidy, the balance on the wrong side of
the ledger for the years operations

This was the result Of free ships
