Peter DAILY Sees In Them a Chance
to Club England.
To The St. Paul Globe:
Permit me to offer my need of praise for
the excellent editorial that appeared in The
o b e Feb. "a. 1899. In regard to subsidies
for American built ships
l or no one else can better the language
and ideas expressed In that editorial. or tho
topic 1t was written 1t ought to be ap-
preciated by every true American, and more
especially by my own countrymen, the Irish
and their descendants.
The Irish people at home and elsewhere
have for centuries been fighting England in
order to gain freedom for their native land.
which Is the supreme wish of all Irishmen
l can't see any better way to hurt England
than by stopping her supply OF pocket money;
and voting subsidies for Amerlcan-built ships
does this, and aids the American laborer in
stead of foreign laborers.
Whenever we vote for a party which an
tagonizes the giving of a subsidy for Ameri-
can ships. then we vote directly to aid, as
sist and enrich England England has the
major portion OF the carrying trade of this
country at present and she is getting i'm
mensely rich on It. Take this carrying trade
away from England and what a howl we will
hear from the so-called mother country"
All money voted for subsidies for American
ships Is not wasted 1t will return in a ten
fold ratio. Better, far better, have no money
appropriated for rivers and harbors, or for
public buildings of any kind, until we become
masters Of the carrying trade Of the waters
of the world in Yankee-built ships Then
we can we'll afford to be extravagant in ap-
propriating money for all internal improve
ments
hope The G. o b 9 will keep this great
question Of American industry before the pub
lie until the people become educated as to its
true merit. Peter Daly

France has passed through a week
of extraordinarily emotional incidents;
and, to all appearances. the republic is
really stronger in the hearts of the
people than prior TO the death of Pres

be said that the absence of any sub

That Binding Irvine Fine.

To The st. Paul Globe:
During the season Of 1898 the most of the
prison Irvine was sold bv dealers at some
what near cents profit. On a car Of IS, 900
pounds this would amount to 81, 450 per car,
and few dealers sold less than two cars
The substitute twine bill, H. F. 264 attempts
to do away with this steal by compelling
dealers to sign contracts to sell Irvine at not
to exceed l cent profit, and to make such
contract secure by providing a fine of not
less than SIS for its violation Now is not
this an injustice on the poor dealer, forbid
ding him to steal several thousand dollars on
penalty Of not less than $25? Can you not
devise some means to relieve the retailer
from such oppression? Subscriber

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-By a vote of

which lasted nearly eight hours. passed
the river and harbor bill, with the
Nicaragua canal amendment. A deter
mined fight was made on committee
amendments, but in each instance op-
position was defeated.
The sharpest contest arose over the
Nicaragua canal bill amendment. A
point of order was made against it that
it was general legislation, but the SEN
ate, to which the vice president sub
mitted the point. overruled it. 1t was
then attacked as not being relevant to a
river and harbor measure, but this, too,
was overruled by the senate. Pettigrew,
Silver Republican, of South Dakota !;
Rawlins, Democrat, of Utah, and Teller,
Silver Republican, of Colorado, vigorous
ly attacked the bill, their opposition be-
ing directed especially against the canal
amendment. The statement was made
that the measure would never see the
light of day in the house, and that the
canal would not be built under the prop
osition inserted in the bill.

Regulars for Vancouver.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The secretary
of war has reconsidered his purpose OF
sending the Ninth regiment of infantry,
now at Madison barracks, N. Y, to the
Philippines, and orders were issued to-
day assigning that regiment to other
duty.
A field officer and two companies are
assigned to duty at Vancouver barracks,

uted among points in the departments OF
California and the Columbia.

every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion elbows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric) and peptogenic pro-
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.

pepsia Tablets at so cents full sized
