EXPERIENCED CHAPLAIN.
The Rev. Mr.. Maloy Served in
That Capacity Back in 81.

An Annapolis dispatch to the
Baltimore Ne,oS says: The Rev.
j. Earle Maloy, who is chaplain
OF the House of Delegates during
the last month of the session, an.
tedates every member of the Gen.
eral Assembly in legislative ex-
perience, although this fact is not
generally known.
In 1861 he was pastor in charge
of Frederick Mission of the Meth.
odist Protestant Church, at the
time when the Maryland Legisla-
ture adjourned from Annapolis
to Frederick with the supposed
object of passing an ordinance of
secession. Mr.. Maloy was at the
railway station when the men,
bers of the Legislature arrived,
having gone there to meet some
friends among the delegates. To
his surprise he was told that he
was to be selected one of the
chaplains of the House. He &C.
cepted the position and served in
that capacity until the Legisla-
ture was dispersed by the military
September II, 1861.
Mr.. Maloy says that while gas
bills, telephone bills and bribery
Investigations may prove a bar to
perfect serenity, his present ser.
vice is much more agreeable than
during the short but memorable
session at Frederick.

The Shipping Subsidy Bill.

Payne shipping subsidy bill now
being pressed for passage in Con
gress. The bill pretends to be
one Ito promote the commerce
and increase the foreign trade of
the United States," and provides
for the payment of 'compensa-
ton" for twenty years to vessel
owners, whether of American or
foreign built vessels, the total
annual compensation" not to ex
coed $4,000, 900.
There is a tremendous Opposi
ton to this bill, which is declared
to be indelensible, an opposition,
which, says the Boston Herald,
"grows out of the firm belief that,
instead of proving of assistance
in the upbuilding of great mer-
chant marine for this country,
will be decided hindrance. AL
ready" continues the Herald,
"the great shipbuilding concerns
of the Atlantic seaboard have ar
ranged the preliminaries for
trust, into which their interests
are to be merged as soon as this
subsidy bill becomes a law
The New York EUening Post
adds its testimony to the mass of
evidence going to show the utter
ShamelessneSs of the promoters of
this scheme: ut is an open secret
at Washington that a combina-
ton has been formed between the
Hanna Payne subsidy and the
Nicaragua Canal. Senator Hanna
had agreed to await the report of
the Isthmian commission, and
the president had accordingly
recommended delay Oh the canal
bill for that purpose, bnt there
has been "a sudden change in both
quarters. Mr.. Hanna has put
his name to the report for immed-
late action on the canal bill, and
he thinks that he has secured
sufficient number of votes for the
shipping subsidy bill"
"The magnitude of the fraud
sought to be perpetrated upon
the taxpayers of the United
States," says the Post (and the
Chicago Tribune looks at the sub
ject from the same point of view,
lean be best understood by max,
ing a compa' iSOn of the sums ac-
tually appropriated by Great
Britain and those proposed by
the Hanna Payne bill.n During
the last year the British govern
ment paid S230,OOO subvention
for eleven vessels as reserve mer.
chant cruisers. and 5000, 200 for
carrying the mails from the
United Kingdom to New York, "a
total outlay of S73O,00O. But,
under the Payne Hanna subsidy
bill this International Navigation
Company { British) will get over
5000, 900.
various foreign residents, do
ing business in New York; adds
the Post, "have filed notices
within the prescribed time which
VIII enable them to comply with
the stipulationS of the bill in
securing subsidy payments on
still greater amount of tonnage
now III course of construction to
be put into the American trade
later. Thus the estimated So,
OOO,O 900 for subsidy appropriation
is likely to be fully used, the
lions share going to the Inter
national Navigation Company
ami other owners of vessels which
are foreign built"
Well may the Chicago Tribune
ask: ''Why is it essential that
vessel owners should be given a
bounty of niue millions year to
develop foreign trader To which
may be added the query: GLOW |
are the American shipping inter
eSts to be aided by giving foreign
vessel owners on foreign bottoms,
