SENATOR ELKINS ON OUR MER-
CHANT MARINE.

Senator Elkins spoke in the senate
recently on the necessity of discrim-
GU merchant marine and the protec-
ton of our shipping in the foreign
carrying trade. He gave many in
teresting facts. Our maximum ton
mage in the foreign carrying trade
was re ached in the year 1862, when
it was 1885, 1874 tons. During the 35
years that have followed it has de-
reased year by year until in
1895 it was only s22, 1857 tons. The
number of our vessels in the foreign
trade in 1895 was only 1,193 against
3,O67 in the year 1858, after the En-
glish- built Confederate cruisers had
done so much to destroy our COM
merce. Senator Elkins' advocacy of
discriminating duties is in accord
with that plank of the republican
national platf orm, which reads as
follows:
eve favor restoring the American
policy of discriminating duties for
the upbuilding of our merchant ma
rine and the protection of our ship
ping in the foreign carrying trade, SO
that American ships, the product of
Am erican labor, employed in Ameri-
can ship yards, sailing under the
Stars and Stripes and manned, officer
ed and owned by Americans, may re-
gain the carrying Of our foreign COM
merce."
The bill which Senator Elkins has
intr oduced imposed an additional
dut y of ten per centum ad valorem
upon goods brought to this country
in foreign ships and, in support of
this, he cites the legislation enacted
in the early days Of the Republic,
when the foreign trade was mostly in
the hands of the Brstish and when,by
discriminating duties, we were en-
abled, between the years 1894 and
1928, to secure nearly nine tenths of
it. The law of 1894 imposed addition
al duty of ten per cent ad valorem
upon goods brought to this country
IN foreign DOUCOmS.
The New York Sun points out that
England has steadily kept in mind
Raleigh's saying that, "Whosoever
commands the sea commands the
trade of the world; whosoever COM
mands the trade of the world COM
mands the riches of the world, and
consequently the world ITSELF" In
support Of her foreign carrying trade,
England has increased her subsidies.
The policy of grantsng subsidies has
not been popular in this country; yet
it is admitted on all sides that some
thing should be done to encourage
the carrying of foreign trade in Amer
lean bottoms. We have 5000 miles
of sea- coast, good harbors, and pro-
ducts for which Asia and Europe Of
fer markets. We sell and buy Iber-
ally in these markets, but we are
paying 5000, 900 year to foreign
ship owners for carrying the goods |
sold or purchased. That foreign |
carrying trade under che discrimina-
ting policy Of the early years of the
grew so rapidly causes the
agitation for it's renewal at the pres |
ent time. The Republican party is
pledged to this policy and no better
method has yet been presented for
reviving our merchant marine.

Mr.. Cleveland's order reducing the
number of Pension agencies, which
was to go into effect ON the 1st of
next September, will never go into
effect. Pension Commissioner Evans
has ascertained by investigation that
instead of saving money, as Mr..
Cleveland claimed, it would cost more
to support the consolidated agencies.
He said on the subject: ssWhile I have
no authority to speak for the Presi-
dent, have excellent reasons for be-
ieving that the order will not go into
effect, and that the eighteen pension
agencies will remain as they are"
Commissioner Evans also says that
Mr.. Cleveland's order placing Pension

in the cases of examiners who receive

THE SHOW is OVER.
A Pine Street Entertainment Closed by
Act of One of the Principals.

ACU O1 ouc VI Ohc AluCiPolSs
Upper Pine street has been torn up
over a scandal that has developed not a
few disgraceful features. 1t is not neces
sary to mention names, because it is not
wise nor kind to involve the innocent in
the disgrace of the guilty. A double
house has again proved inadequate to
the uses and happiness of two chlldless
families. There have been brawls
worthy of Bugtown. On several occa-
sions it could have been related that
"rhere was hot time in Oldtown to-
night" A glddy young wife, surrounded
by every luxury by doting and unsus-
pecting husband, could not resist the
tender glances and gallant advances of
her neighbor's husband. There were
trysts ard trysting places. And then
came jealousy on the part of the other
woman, and not without cause. Then
came throwing of bowls by the one and
turning of the hose by the other upon
her assailant. And a mother and sisters
took hand and it needed but the police
to complete the climax of the disgraceful
affair. Friends interposed and advised
that the erring man take his wife to a
Nederland resort and remain with her.
He did as advised but remained but a
day. Hurrying back 10 Boulder he had
forgotten to order his mail held until his
return to Nederland. A fatal letter sped
from Boulder to the resort and the jeal-
GUS wife read it. 1t was full of endear-
ing terms and came from the woman on
the other side OF the Pine street double
house. She knew, she said, that her
amorist was true to her. Would he not
come to her poste haste and take her far
away from her detested husband7
"Sighei like furnace" this hot love-
letter from the wilful, wicked wife. Then
fastened the wronged wife to Boulder,
with hair dishevelled and mind dis
traught, and at the moment of her arrival,
her guilty husband was walking the street
with the other mans wife, while the now
jealous and lynx.eyed spouse of the way.
ward woman was viewing the scene
through the apertures of convenient
fence. Then another scene, tears, threats,
stern reprimand, and the bundling of the
guilty woman off to her parents in dis
tant western city. A neighborhood has
been highly entertained, one family cir
Gle has been broken and another SO dis
ordered and its peace so broken that
only the most abject apologies and con.
trite conduct have been able to hold its
pieces together.
