The Subsidy Steal.

The millionaire mendicants Of the
steamship trust, who are begging for
Treasury bounties to be wrung from q
heavily taxed people, have doubtless
made grateful contributions to Chair
man Hanna's fund for such brilliant
campaign inventions. But the Ques-
ton is whether the American voters
can be caught with this sort of bird
lime. If so, they will fasten upon them
selves and upon the necks of the COM
ing generation a monopoly of transpor-
tation on the high seas which would be
more formidable than are any of the
monsters that prey upon the consuming
millions on land.-Philadelph Record.

ladder in the fourth story yesterday
afternoon from which he may not re-
cover. He was removed to the city hos

was In comatose state, and the physt-

Ing the glass on the skylights, and in
going up the ladder with a pail of water
the ladder slipped on the hardwood floor,
which Is oiled and is very smooth, and
Oberg fell distance Of fifteen feet, strik-
ing on his head on the ladder
The scene of the accident waa at the
entrance into Judge Orrs chambers, and
when the judge learned of the accident
he dismissed court, and Judge as well as
jurors and attorneys rendered what as
sistance they could toward the injured
man. Oberg was unconscious when he
fell, but after DR.. BoxeI arrived and adj
ministered drug he regained conscious

to the hospital he fell into the uncon-
scious state and has so far not regained
consciousness.
