Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Frye and the admin
istration at Washington generally hold
firmly to the contention that the Amer
lean merchant marine cannot be in
creased, or even maintain its present
somewhat humiliating proportions sue
cessfully without a subsidy from the
general government. The plain Eng
fish Of the proposition is that for a
period of thirty years maximum sum
of nine million dollars per year of the
peoples money shall be handed over to
the owners of American ships, for their
use and profit, without the remotest
probability that the merchant marine
will be benefited one iota insofar as
an increased number of ships is con-
cerned. Hanna and his friends will re-
ceive the bulk OF the subsidy, and that
will be the end of it, 1t is class legis-
latiOn Of the most pernicious nature,
and if the law is enacted, as it surely
will be, for the pressure in it's favor is
tremendous as we'll as indecent, it will
be the browning infamy of the present
administration.
The American merchant marine needs
no subsidy. What it needs is freedom
from the protective tariff and a ship
bill constructed upon the lines of plain
ordinary horse sense. The protective
tariff has well nigh taxed the merchant
marine out of existence. for every ounce
Of everything entering into the con-
structiOn Of ship is subject to the
blight and ban of tax As a result
our shipbuilders cannot compete with
foreigners. The individual or corpora
ton having in view the construction
of vessels can have them launched and
equipped much cheaper abroad than at
home, and the result is foreign regis
ter, and goods are carried in foreign
bottoms. IF this tariff tax was remov-
ed, shipbuildlng in America would be
% a favored few would be wholly I'M
necessary.
The whole subsidy business is wrong
in principal and pernicious in practice,
but it is an integral part of that vicious
and untenable Republican policy and
overwcening tendency to lay burdens
upon the masses of the people upon the
one hand, while extending favors at
public expense to a few upon the other.
The protective tariff fraud, the foster
ing of combinations of capital operat-
ing against public policy and the pub
lie interests. and the general imposition
OF unnecessary public burdens without
corresponding public benefits, are all
part and parcel Of the category to
which the ship subsidy steal belongs.
Yet the administration has been en-
dorsed' and it will go to the full length
of its tether

GREAT PREPARATIONS
Are Being Made For the Corning

at Louisville.
West Virginia Will BE Very Largely
Represented-A List of the Conn

Special to the Register
LOUISVILLE, KY, December g.
West Virginia will beyond a doubt be
the most largely represented State
knight Templar population considered
at the twenty-eighth triennial con-
claye to be held in Louisville next Au-
gust. With only few more than ], 900
swords it has already contracted for
quarters for the Grand Commandery
and five subordinate communicates,
calling for accommodations for nearly
600 Knights and ladies. The organize
tions thus far arranged for are the
Grand Commandery, Wheeling, of
Wheeling; Ivarhoe, of Bramwell; Cru
SADIE, of Fairmont; Calvary, of Parkers-
burg; -Kanawha, of Charleston All
will be located at the Willard Hotel,
which will be known exclusively as
West Virginia headquarters during the
conclave. 1t is understood here that
the West Virginia Knights will enter
tain on a lavish scale during the tri-
ennial. If the stage of water permits,
Wheeling Commandery may come to
Louisville on a river packet, just for
the novelty Of the thing, returning by
rail after the Grand Encampment is
over.

ing conclave the greatest in the his
tory of Knight Templary. Fifty com
mbtees are actively at work now on the
preliminaries. An entertainment fund
of 100000 has been raised to provide
programme of attractions that is ex-
pected to bring to the Falls City sew
eral hundred thousand visitors during
conclave week. Besides the big parade,
with 10000 Knights and 125 bands Of
music in line, there will be given
competitive drill, the first since the San
Francisco triennial in 1888, at which
five handsome sterling silver trophies
will be awarded; a horse show three
nights, at which only Kentucky ami
mails will be on exhibition; a grand
ball; monster reception and lawn fete

Hurting the State.

PIttsburg Post.
The State of West Virginia is getting
a bad name for the number of crimes
of violence, ranging from mobbing to
murder, committed within its borders
1t is demoraliZing to the people of the
State, and of course affects its stand
ing abroad The most notorious are
not the crimes of the lower classes
of the population, but of those in the
higher walk of life, professional and
business men. The great trouble
seems to be the practice o. carrying
arms and settling trifing differences
on sight with a bullet, rather than to
permit the law and common sense to
adjust disputes about personal or prop
erty rights. In the Mingo county case
the preacher and a leader of the bar
fell back on revolvers to settle their
differences about a sermon on dan
cling. The preacher was killed, and

Competent critics are Of the opinion
that the statue Of the late Senator John
E. Kehna, recently unveiled without
ceremony at the national capital is a
very bad piece of sculpture, failing even
to give the correct facial lineaments Of

to be unnatural and the entire work
lacks life" If these things be true
there should be prompt effort to have
the present statue replaced by a mere
correct one.

Commenting upon the remarks OF
the court in the Mrs. Emma Van LieW
case and the Registers comments upon
the sentence, the Parkersburg State
Journal dissents from the proposition
that the intention constitutes the
crime" and asserts that "the intent is
presumed from the act" and again, "a
man is supposed to intend to do that
which he does" If these things be true
what becomes of the good old illustra-
ton in a case of involuntary homi-
eide, where the defendant throws
timber from the roof of house and
kills a passerby? According to the
State Journal, he would be guilty OF
murder because he is supposed to in
intend to do that which he does"
The State Journals logic cannot be ap-
piled to the Van Lew case, atrocious
as it was.

At Panther, in the same State, three
