Hanna's Ship Subsidy.

Hanna's subsidy bill is in harmony
with the general trend Of Republican
legislation in that 1t gives an immedi-
ate gain to the few existing steamship
lines without making 1t any easier to
establish others. The commissioner of
navigation thinks it will cause 4 large
increase of American tonnage, but the
opinion is based rather on assumption
than argument. such argument as he
employs being that which is familiar

The Prospcrity Racket.

There is no use trying to deny that
the Republicans won the election on
the prosperity racket and they showed
themselves right shrewd campaigners
in raising dust and howl and thus
ObscurinS the real issues. The full
dinner pail was the thing that did the
business and now we shall see how
much they have Overdone that prOpO-
sitiOn. A great many people are 80
infatuated with the idea of prosperity
that they will sit down and fold their
hands and expect the ravens to bring
them their food, but they will find it
mostly Crow.
We presume the Democrats can stand
to pay 4 dollar for fourteen pound of
trust sugar and five cents a pound for
trust wire and for trust nails and twice
as much for every necessary Of life.
The Democrats will be able to stand it
as well as the fellows who voted for it.
The laboring man who voted for full
dinner pail. as he had a right to do,
will expect it kept full and to people
less sanguine thdE the Republicans it
would seem burdensome undertaking.
1t would appear that they have bit of
more than they can chew. but that is
their own lookout and none Of our
business.
The trusts may now go their length,
for have they not been vindicated and
have not the people voted that there
are no trusts, just as Mark Hanna
said, and if there are, they are good
trusts? Since they have been so over
whelmingly vindicated, they will cut
loose from all restraint and the Repub-
lican party will laugh at those who
would secure legislation for the man
of moderate means and influence.
There will be Bacchanalian feast of
trusts and tariff grabbers by the side
of which Belshazzar's feast is merely
an innocent little Sunday school pic

Mcclellan popularity known as
"Patsy" Gardener died suddenly in

killed. His body reached Selins-

Frank, fell from a bridge at Rupert
and sustained injuries from which
he was confined to the hospital sew
