Growth OF Golf

SIX years ago there were only five
clubs In the United States Golf Asso-
citation. Now thore are twenty-five
associate and 225 allied clubs on the
roll. There are now in existence
about twenty state or other branch
leagues subordinate to the United
States Golf Association, and that in
many instances a golf club is content
to remain only member of it's local
organization is -hown by tho record
in Newmans Official Golf Guide for
1900, which gives list of nearly 900
regularly organized clubs. New York
heads the list, with 1853. The same au-
thority estimates that there are at
least 100000 golfers in the United
States.

The Ship Subsidy Bill.

fiO oiiit/ oOOoiQ1 Dlii
The ship subsidy bill before con-
gress is meeting with bitter opposi-
ton from two classes of newspapers,
t. wit:
The English newspapers.
The populist- democratic press in
this country.
The exports and imports of this
country amounted to S2,244,42 )
266 last year. Of the enormous
tonnage which these values include,
ships flying the American flag car
ried only 9 per cent, while foreign
ship carried the other 81 yer cent.
1t is conservatively estimated that
this country paid $300O00,0OO last
year to foreign ship owners for
freight charges.
These figures are startling to all
patriotic Americans, and the Re
publican party, true the pledges in
the platform upon which William
Mckinley has just been reelected
proposes to remedy this evil and
stop this drein upon our country.
In pursuance Of that policy,
Senator Hanna-Mark Hanna,
the man with hornsl-and Mr..
Payne have drafted bill to grant
subsidy of 100000 a year to
American ships, for 20 years, in
order to encourage American ship
building and increase the tonnage
of our merchant marine until ships
carrying the American flag will
earn the major share Of that $780,
100000 now annually paid to for
eign ship owners.
In 20 years at SO 100000 year
the subsidy will amount to $780,
100000, vast sum, it is true, but
still little more than half what we
pay to foreign ships in a single
year.
And yet populistic domocr ats
and free traders call the Hanna.
Payne bill a stea They "object,
they CONDEMN" and they ARE un.
alterably opposed" but as tn,
Blackfoot News SAYS, they can Civ,
no reason nor offer a substitute
Talk aboIt your new democracy
Its the same old Bourbon howl
and the same old free trade idea.
The farmers of the Pacific Slop,
want this bill. The more ships
the more the competition and tn,
less the cost of transportation
Every dollar saved in h.ovin,
wheat and other crops across tn
Pacific means higher prices f.
these products to the producer.
The bill will become a law il
spite of foreign meddling and pop
ulistic and Bourbon opposition
and in a few years America viii
add the conquest of the seas to it
other glories.

Cutting the Pie.

To-Day Jne executive committee OF
the democratic state committee will
meet in this city and, in conjunc-
ton with similar committees Of the
populist and silver republican
parties, will cut the state pie.
1t is not understood that the seq
ments will be doled out to individ-
usls. They will more likely be
given into the hands of the various
committees for distribution 20 such
of the faithful as may be deemed
worthy of consideration. In other
words, the understanding is that
the places will be apportioned
among the three parties, each of
which will take care of its share as
it may deem expedient.
There are not may offices, and it
would seem as easy matter to di-
vide them among those parties that
stand for reform" and, therefore,
should be the first to practice fair
ness and To- curb the selfish in
stinct for Offices which, in any
event, must go to "reformers."
1t is said, however, the division
will not be made without stirring
up hornets nest of protest. In
the first place the Populists are de-
handing more than the democrats
think they are entitled to. There
is a similar feeling in the air re-
speeding the silver republicans,
who have not enough votes in the
state to count. The prevalence
of such feeling does not tend to a
harmonious division of the spoils
and the situation is further en-
broiled in the knowledge that
tusionis dead in Idaho. With
not one chance in ten thous
and of there there ever being an
other fusion cam paign in the stat,
the democrats do not feel disposed
to give up an undue share of tn,
patronage they feel they have beer
more responsible in winning thar
any other old party on earth.
The democrats will not, it is sale
object to giving the populists Jhos
deputyships that will be presided
over by porulists office holder
anyway. But a complication ha
arisen in this connection. e. w
