An Ubiquitous Measure.

The mass of the people are unable to see how the proposed subsidy legis- lation is to benefit them, while they do see how it will benefit a small but favored class. The common people see that the intention is to tax them to aid men who already have large means. The people will not submit patiently to such an abuse of legisla- tive power. The pending shipping subsidy bill is peculiarly iniquitous because it proposes to bestow special favors on few particular lines which already have most liberal mail con. tracts. The bill does not favor the tramp" steamers, which are the car riers of so large a percentage of ocean freights. The wealthy corporations which own passenger steamers are to be the chief beneficiaries of a sub- sidy scheme which it is hoped to saddle on the country for 30 years at a total cost of s27O,o0o ,0oo Vessels in existence on January l last which can take advantage of the law if passed will receive subsidies for ten years.

FIXED UP A LITTLE STORY.
Something to Give the Impression That He Hadn't Monkeyed
 with Steplsdder.

"Where's that step ladder?" inquired the head of the house in his most pr emptory tones, relates the Detroit Fee Press.
 Tn the barn." from his wife.
 Not in the shed, of course. The pleasant surprise to me is that you haven't sent it to your relatives ir the country, or put it with some storage company at the other end of the city. When you want anything around here it is always safe to go as far as possi- ble to look for it. I'm going 70 fix that blind at the head of the lairs. It's on crookeder than a rams horn. That's what you get for hiring a cheap man."
 But the step ladder is rickety and not safe"
 I'll bet that's right. The way that things go to rack and ruin around here is enough to break up a millionaire"
 But you've had it ten years"
 "Stuff and nonsense! Did you ever hear of step ladder dying of old age ?" and he went to the barn as though it were afire.
 Very shortly aiterward there was a racket as though team of horses were running away down the front stairs. Following this terrible rattlety-bang was moan and faint attempt to swear. The ladder lay at the foot a pile of kindling. The liege lord had one eye swollen shut, his nose was flat tened. one foot was on the newel post and the balance of him hung on the hall tree, supported on hook by the combined strength of coat, vest and suspenders. When he was in bed and before the doctor could reach him he administered solemn oath to his wife that she would testify to his having fallen out of the hay loft across a feed barrel and then being kicked across the barn by the vicious roan mare he Is known to own.

An Intoxicating Song.

The song of national triumph, mas tering power and irresistible expan- sion and material progress now fills all ears. It has been set to music of republican composition. Its stir ring strains are calculated to lift a congress, constituted as this one and meeting at such time as this, from off it's feet. All of the traditional shrewd- ness and discipline of the republican management at Washington will be needed to prevent action on the pre- sumption that the present great in dustrial prosperity of the country is to continue unabated and that the mighty and increasing revenues of the government are to go on indefinitely at present rates.-Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
Opinions of the Press on the Presf- dents statements and Rec
 ommenda tions.

Presidents McKinley's message is much longer than necessary. It is to be noted that the statement contains little or nothing new.-San Francisco Call Qnd. Rep.).
 Long as it is, it is for the most part inconclusive. Those who look to it for a clear and incisive definition of policy will be disappointed, except as concerns the enlargement of the army.-Philadelph Times.
 Mir. McKinley's message to congress declares, in effect, that he shall con- tinue working for empire and the trusts, and that he believes the peo- pie at the polls in November sanc- toned such service.-St. Louis Repub- lic
 President Mckinley has repeated through his message the old experi- ment of trying to say little or noth- ing in many words. A sparsity of ideas and a voluminosity of language were, perhaps, his best policy at this peculiar time.-Chicago Chronicle.
 President McKinley's annual mes- sage to congress contains much in- teresting matter, but very little that is new, and although 20,000 words long. is most remarkable for what it does not say. It is almost dumb as to the future.-Chicago TImesHerald (Rep.),
 Benevolent" is the only word that conveys a general idea of MT. Me- Kinley's message to congress. The milk of human kindness oozes from every line. Peace and good will drip from every word. While reading it one can fairly hear the president purr.-Detroit Free Press.

Imperialism to Rule.

The presidents message is con- fession that, in so far as it is possible to MT. Mckinley and the republican party, the government is to be ad- ministered on lines of imperialism and of class privilege that are for eign to the spirit of its founders. Politically speaking, Mr. Mckinley has good warrant for the tone of his message. His campaign for reelec- tion was necessarily made on these issues, the democratic assault on tho trusts and imperialism being excep- tionally fierce. The people at the polls supported Mir. Mckinley in this conflict of opinion. All that now re- mains to be seen is whether or not the people best know what was good for themselves and for the country when they extended the Mckinley lease of power for four years more. The president himself is faithful. in his message, to those things for which he stood in the campaign which end ed in his reelection to the presidency. St. Louis Republic.

Vesf.a sfolen PfRu.

Another story that Vest told related to his candidacy for the legislature in 1861 against A. S. Walker. The canvass was ex- ceedingly exciting because of the near. ap- proach of war, and all the questions incl dent to it were discussed with mush ami nation. Changes and counter-charges were made. Both sides knew that about six votes either way would determine the con- test, and on the day before election Walker raised the point on Vest that he had stolen some pigs. The only way that Vest could meet the charge was to acknowledge smil- ingly that he had the pigs in his pen and iD his possession. If he had gone further and said that he had bought them-which they hoped he would do-they had wit nesses to show that he had not bought them, but Vest was too shrewd to be caught in the trap, and turned the accusation of with laugh and the remark:

RAISING

There is a colony Of North Dakotans
in Florida engaged in the raising OF
pineapples and some correspondence
of the Grand Forks Herald says:
There is little in the soil in the yicin-
ity OF Tampa bay to support plant life,
as it little more than yellow sand. It
is necessary, therefore, to use fertiliz-
ers literally. The plants are o
gated from cuttings, which are planted
in June, and which yield their first
crop in about Is months after planting.
The industry is a comparatively new
one, and there is a lively demand for
cuttings for starting new plantations.
The yield of fruit has been very salts
factory on the plantations started a
few years ago, n grower near the
lands of the North Dakota colony sell
ing from his farm last year about
$1,000 worth of fruit per acre. His re-
ceipts from cuttings last year were
nearly $1,000 per acre, making the
total receipts per acre about $4,000.
The cost of equipping an acre of
land for pine apple culture is, for lum-
Der about $1,000, for fertilizer, CUT
tings, and cultivation, about $1,000.
The shedding is of course a perma-
nent Improvement, and one planting
will suffice for several years. After
the first year, therefore, the only out
lay for some time is for fertilizer and
cultivation. Many plantations are
equipped or a much more elaborate
scale than above indicated. One
planter has several acres under glass,
with shades suitably arranged. An
other uses canvas shades. The mar
row strips are more popular, however,
being cnearsr. and giving good re-
suits.
The center of this pine apple district
is st. Petersburg. a little town on the
west shore of Tampa bay, about ten
miles acros from Tampa. One com
pany owning land there is composed
entirely of Grand Forks men. It's
members are w. L. Straub, a. Linde-
lie, P. o. Thorson, E. H. Kent, ana DR..
Hunter. These gentlemen own ten
acres near st. Petersburg, and have
shielded one acre this year. Cuttings
will be planted on this acre this
month. 1t is the company's intention
to plant an acre or more each year
until the entire plantation is under
cultivation Mr.. Straub is on the
ground experimenting operations.
Others from this state who have made
purchases and are setting out plants
are o. G. Menes of Milton, w. J. Knee
shaw of Pembina, and Senator Thomas
F.. Marshall OF Cakes. Mr.. Kneeshaw
will build a handsome winter residence
there, and Senator Marshall will prob
ably do likewise" =, y
