The city election, Tuesday, aroused
much more interest than usual, and some
novel features for Aberdeen were intro
duced into the contest. The three-cor-
nered fight for the attorneyship was the
storm center. The newspaper encounter
was warm one round 90, in which the
Hogan gang were plainly getting groggy,
when reinforced by couple of heelers
from Montesano, w. II. Abel and Larry
Rice-who graduated in two lessons from
A. G. Little last fall-who undertook to
Hoganize Aberdeen by the tenderloin
method.
While the Hogan and Cross factions
were making all the noise, Shields was
quietly "sawing wood" and won in a
canter.
The Citizens ticket, nominated by the
first caucus, proved to have fairly repre-
scented the sentiment of the city, as all
but one candidate nominated by it was
elected.

gold fcrrets, tie in front in loose, many

similar to these in outline, and are made
very ornate without the exceeding rich

satin garments. An example appears in
the second picture in. bodice of pink

latticework of black chenille, the squares
and fronts showing embroidery in white.

current in New York. Sashing at the
waist is its main characteristic. The
scarlet sash of the play is not repeated,
but less conspicuous sash is voted pref

sashing, though only the very tall and
slender women may risk such an effort.

new fashions. One garment thus echoed

of course, far less expensive, are stitched

Silage is us valuable in summer as in
winter.
The circular silo made of good hard
wood slaves is cheapest and best.
Tie SLID has come to be as necessary
part of a dairy farm plant as corn
crib or haymow.
Thirty pounds a day is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Larger
cattle will eat more.
For 1872 days, or half year, ain aver
age Jersey COW will require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unayoid-
able waste.
Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet deep is a good. size. Such silo
will hold about 200 tons of silage cut in
half inch lengths.
Silage comes nearer being a perfect
substitute for the succulent food of the
pasture than any other food that can
be had in the winter.
Corn just passing out of roasting ear

silage. Corn and cowpeas are the best

The ship subsidy.

The more one looks at it, the more
foolish the plea for ship subsidy be-
comes. Naturally, every American
would like to know that American eN-
ports We're carried on American bot
toms, and the mSre American imports
paid to the sailorman the better we
would feel. But the arguments for an
American merchant marine, as present
ed, do not appeal to the intelligence of
the country.
In the manufactured enthusiasm for
an American marine, 1t is safe to be-
lieve that the greater part of our peo-
pie do not concur. Ship subsidies, as
now proposed, will only benefit Senator
Hanna and some of his friends; yet,
at present, the outlook is that the job
will 80 through. The administration
is practically pledged to 1t, and, in the
tail end of the pending. and through
out the next, Congress will have the
power TO enforce its will.
But the people should understand
that the subsidy scheme as now out
lined means the heavier taxation of the
many for the benefit of the few. Start
ing wilma little less than S3,00O,000 a
year, the burden on the people at large
rises to more than $9,OO0,0O0 in three
years. Not large sum in itself, but
in view of the general demand for Il
reduction of taxation, 1t counts up.
Moreover, the fact that seven-tenths
of this money will go into the pockets
of Hanna and his clique calls for n
stoppage The two steamship lines in
which the Senator is interested will
take all the profits, and the independ-
ent owners will have nothing but an
additional burden to bear.
Even some of the Republicans are
afraid of the plan, and are calling upon
the powers that be to drop 1t. Drop it,
however, they will not 1t is in direct

THE REPUBLICAN DANGER.

1t would probably be unjust to the
president and his astute advisers to
assume that they did not see the very
remarkable parallel between the pres
ent position of the Republican party in
ITS relation to the national treasury and
lts position a decade ago. But for the
benefit of those members of Congress
who Know of neither past nor here
after In politics 1t may be worth while
to recount little history.
When the Fifty-first Congress met on
Dec. 2, 1899, the Republican party was
In control of all branches of the gov
eminent. There was large surplus
and Congress undertook to slash it at
both ends. Mr.. Mckinley, then chair
man OF the ways and means committee
or the House, reported tariff bill ito
reduce the revenues" While the reve-
oues were reduced the pension expendi-
lures We're doubled, and instead of re-
ceiying vast income from sugar, as
before, the government began. to pay
out money to the planters in bounties.
These and other methods We're so sue
cessful that the surplus was wiped out
and deficit took its place. Thereupon
the people rose UP and smote the Re-
publican party, which lost the House,
the Senate and the Presidency.
No doubt President Mckinley re-
members these things, and is anxious
not to see them repeated. Again there
Is surplus, and again ii is proposed to
attack 1t at both ends-by reducing rev.
enues and by increasing expenditures.
The administration tries to hold the
reins on its congressional wild horse,
but 1t ais doubtful whether 1t can sue
coed. Secretary Gage recommends n
reduction of $30,O00,O0O in the war
taxes. AS he estimates the surplus for
the fiscal year 1902 at only $26,00O,-
600, even under the present rate of tax
alton, 1t is obvious that this is all the
reduction the treasury can safely
stand. But now 1t is proposed in Con-
gress to cut off S7O,O0OO0O or SSO,O0o,-
700 a year from the revenues, principal
ly for the benefit of the brewers, and
at the same time to Increase expendi-
lures on all sides. Our army alone is
to cost more next year than all the or
binary expenses of the government
combined Il few years ago. We are
to pay shipping subsidies, and if we
carry out the will of the people we
shall have to lay ont at least $780,
100000 year on the Nicaragua canal.
All this means a humping deficit after
next year, and probably new bond is
sues to meet the current expenses of
the government.
Recalling the events of 1890. 1891
and 1892, "all of which he saw and part
of which he was,v President Mckinley
will probably use all his influence with
his party to prevent repetition of that
history.-C Chicago American.

prisoners and escaped the sight of the
