MERCHANT MARINE.
Il Has Come to Be an Iinpor tant
Subject In France.
Oteps to he Taken for upbuildiAg IT.
Tonnage Entered at Marsesl1es
Compared with Other
Cities.

Consul Skinner, at Marseilles, sends
70 the state department an abstract Of
the annual report of the Marseiues
chamber of commerce to the minister
of commerce on the state of French
merchant marines. Itappears from this
report that the subject of the merchant
marine Is being considered I'm France
with quite as much interest - 10 the
same subject in the United States. The
chamber reports gain in the tonnage
at Marseilles of 163,943 tons for 1897.
but states that this is far from reassur-
ing. Comparison is made with the sta
tistics of Genoa, Antwerp and Rotter-
dam. whence the following gains OF
1897 over 1896 are reported: Genoa.
$4,000 tons; Antwerp. 646.o0o; Rotter-
dam, 731,000.
Consul Thackaray writes from Havre
on the same subject, giving the report
Of the parliamentary committee ap-
pointed by the French chamber of dep
uties to investigate the problem Of up
building the French merchant marine.
This report says in part that the COM
mittee recognizes the state of mer-
chant marine as critical. and especially
in regard to its ability to successfully
compete with that of other nations" !"
Further. the report says: Its rela-
tive inferiority, already demonstrated,
becomes more and more apparent each
day, and with each advancing stride
made by the steamship lines of other
countries.
This state of affairs, If prolonged,
would lead to the most disastrous So
cial, political and military results; and
IL is but natural that the government
should give it's attention to the best
methods of ameliorating such serious
condition of affairs. the remedy of
which. in the very nature of things can
not emanate from private sources"
The committee after considering va
rious plans finally decided on revision
of the bounty laws. 1t is a very in
volved schedule of bounties given in
francs and centimes with their frac-
tional English equivalents. The first
article provided for shipping bounty
as compensation for the charges i'm
posed upon merchant vessels in train
ing seamen who have been drafted into
the national army. The bounty is COM
puted in centimes per ton for various
classes of vessels, ranging from 1000
tons to 1000 tons and above. This
bounty is for steamships. That on sail
ing vessels is half the amount in every
case.
Article two provides a bounty ito
develop the maritime industries of
France as compensation for the
charges imposed upon the merchant
navy. and for the excessive cost of ves-
sells built i'm France" This bounty il
calculated by the 1000 miles and by the
gross tons, a distinction being made in
favor of steam over sailing vessels, as
in the previous bounty referred to-

There will be a primary convention
issue OF more than ordinary interest to
the Republican electors of the village
this spring. One member of the Board
of Water Works Trustees is to be nomi.
mated. The clerk of that board with
salary of $40 per month is appointed an
nually by the trustees. The present
clerk is Sam Amen, who was one of the
men whose disaffection beat the county
ticket which was nominated at the Re.
publican convention last year. The is
sue is plain one. Do the Republicans
of Hillsboro wish Amen retained as q
Republican official? If 30 you can vote
in the primaries for his candidate for
Water Works Trustee. If you don't
want him, you will vote tor some Re
publican who will not countenancs the
bolter. Boilers are all right when they
don't ask for anything. But members
Of party should not elect to paying Of
fees men who 60 into conventions Tor
try TOY and then bolt the nominations
The NEws-HERALD has no candidate for
Water Works Trustee and has no AZ H.
grind. We simply ask Republicans to
- that the men they vote for as the
primaries will favor . straight Republi-
can for the $40 . month clerkship. Fight
IL out ct the primaries. Don't save the
Aeht for the election.

The Republican Central Committee
acted wisely Saturday when it left the
time and place of holding the spring
primaries in each township except in
Liberty, where following a long estab
lished custom it was left to the Execu-
tive Committee. This allows the Repub
licans of each precinct to control their
own affairs, which they can always do
successfully without interference. Last
year q general time for primaries was
fixed, much dissatisfaction resulted, and
in many places the Republicans claim to
have lost at the election by being com.
PEELED to nominate at a time that was
ipiudicious.

Rubber Shoe Prices Co Up.

Rubber boots and shoes advanced
five per cent last week, makinga tota.
advance of about 20 per cent since the
formation of the big rubber trust in
the spring. Mackintoshes and other
rubber goods were advanced 10 pei
cent in September. The advance is
explained by the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers by the statement
that prices prevailing before the Or
ganiZatiOn of the trust were almost
ruinous owing to the fierce COMPETE
ton.
Last weeks slight advance, coming
at the beginning of the season when
rubbers are almost necessities to all
who venture out in the streets, will
be felt with some severity. The 20
per cent increase over the price exist
ing a year ago is expected to cut down
the sale of rubbers somewhat. Retail
dealers say they make no more than
under former prices, and are only
passing along the advance which the
wholesale dealers inflict on them.
The schedule of prices as now estab-
lished is likely to remain through the
winter, though in the spring further
advance may be made.
