Company l. Arrives.

II was near to in the evening when the
belated third section, having on board the
companies from Council Bluffs, Red Oak,
Shenandoah and Glenwood pulled into the
Rock Island local station. Never was such a
scene enacted upon the arrival OF any train
in this city before. For hours the people
had been congregating at the station and the
long platform was packed with solid mass
OF expectant humanity which surged out ont ,
tho tracks and swept over onto the street
and railroad yards. From Sixteenth avenue
to tho Eisecnan building on Broadway and
Pearl streeto the sidewalks were thronged
with people anxious to catch a glimpse Of
tho boys OF Company L-theiT own soldier
bcys.
The crush when the train pulled into the
station was something fearful, Everyone
wanted to be the first to greet the boys, and
men and women pushed and pushed and
literally fought for the front positions on
the platform. Hundreds stood out on the
tracks and had not the train pulled in at a

that It wac at least ten minutes before space

of the station an inky darkness prevailed and
it was hard work for the relative and
friends OF the men to locate them. When
they did, however, they refused to let go OF

THE snlp SUBSIDY SCHEME.

The Hanna Payne ship subsidy scheme
by which It is proposed to give away
millions annually for term of years TO
the shipping under American registry, in
order Ito build up the American MGR
chant marine is bobbing up on every
occasion when It is thought possible to
obtain popular Endorsement of the plan
It came up for discussion at the Trans
mississippi congress, and 1t may be ex-
pected to challenge attention at other
notable conventions until It either wins It's
was or is emphatically relegated 10 the
hackground
The specious plea which is made to
southerners and 10 Westerners in favor
OF this subsidy scheme is that the South

sidy scheme and has as often condemned II,
not only because It is wrong in principle
and unjust to those from whom taxes are
taken to give to others for the promotion
OF private business. but because 1t is not
calculated to meet the end for whl,h i.
is ostensibly PROPOSED. A few big COM
panies would receive millions annually as
a gift of the Nation but 1t is doubtful II
that fact would tempt any considerable
amount OF new capital into the carrying
trade, investments Of that kind are aeces-
sarIly large and are not made without rpe
expectation OF remaining as permanent
investments The subsidy scheme does
not contemplate government aid except
for a term OF years, twenty at the out
side Then there is the possibility OF the
government under other administrations
and conditions changing Its policy. The
effect of the Hanna Payne bill would lie
to very materially aid two or three existing
companies, in one of which Senator Hanna
Is said to be largely interested, without
restoring the American merchant marine

Not few people in this State have
been rendered nervous by reason of the
report from New Orleans Of a case OF yell |
low fever In that city. The establishment
of quarantine by the Texas health au-

tions by seeming to justify the apprehen-
sion OF danger.

for any alarm in Texas at this time

AS foreshadowed by the reports from wich-
tia for day or two past. Houston has been
selected as the next meeting place for the
Transmississippi congress. This is dis
tinct triumph for our Texas delegation at
Wichita, as well as for this city. That Hous-
ton will entertain the delegates from the
Transmsslssipp region in a style not sur
passed by any city in which the congress has
yet met goes without saying. That the gath
ering together in this city next year Of the
representative men OF the great West will
prove OF incalculable benefit 10 us is equally
true, and that no meeting since the congress-
became reality will prove more OF an OBJ
iect lesson and more instructive to the dele
gates ir beyond dispute. The Texas delegation
at Wichita this year especially deserves tn,

State In bringing this important body C
