THE SUBSIDY STEAL.

The advocates of the ship subsidy
give as one excuse for its passage the
fact that we are now paying $4,000
per year to foreign ships. In lieu
thereof they propose 100000 per
year for twenty years to domestic ship
owners, and originally demanded
thirty year tenure.
Again, they contend that American
ship-building is languishing, when in
the single port of Philadelphia alone
ships valued at s29,725, 900, and regis
tering 211, 500 tons, are under construc-
ton, giving employment in their build
ing to 10000 men, whose wages are
$4,000 per week.
1t does not appear from these sta
tistics, which are taken from the Re
publican Philadelphia Press, that a
subsidy bill is needed. A proper ma
tional shipping law would accomplish
more than two subsidy bills, and
much more cheaply.

THE TRUTH AS TO SMALLPOX.

Elsewhere this morning the Regis
ter publishes a signed statement from
Health Officer S. l.. Jepson, giving the
exact facts regarding the smallpox
situation.
There is not one single case of the
disease in the city, and but eight in
the municipal hospital which is far
removed from either the business or
residence portions of the city, in the
country, and completely Isolated. Sew
eral of these eight patients are con
valescent, AMI che will be discharged
tomorrow.
In view of this official and entirely
reliable statement those people who,
either through malice, ignorance, or
some other unworthy cause, have been
indUstriously circulating wild reports,
should retire at least temporarily from
the public sue.
At no time has a patient remained
in the city more than an hour or two
after discovery of the case, and the
most vigorous and approved measures
are always taken. Let us hear no
more of wild rumors or idle talk of
guarantees.

TO DRILL FOR COAL.

Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. December
1.-two carloads of machinery and
fixtures arrived here to-day from
Bayard, W. Va, and will be placed
in position at once to make a test
for coal and other minerals. The
test will be made with a diamond
drill by Senator Stephen B. Elkins,
who owns large areas of coal lands
along the line of the NJ & X. rail-
road between here and Kingwood A
core two and one-hilf inches in di-
ameter and several hundred feet deep
will be taken out by the diamond
drill. Senator Elkins will open mines
and build large coal mining plants
here, if the findings of the drill are
satisfactory.
Contracts are already being made
for the erection of derricks for
test oil we'll miles north OF Nor
gantown on the Boyers farm, by the
Battelle Oil Company. The location
is about on a forty-fve degree line
with the Copley and Turner gushers
in Lewis county, W. Va. A great
deal of territory has been leased on
this line, and much excitement pre-
walls among the farmers in the past
few weeks. Competition for leases
among oil companies has run the
price of rentals up to one dollar an
acre.

THE NEEDS OF THE NAVY,

Secretary Long asserts that new
ships expected to go into commission
by July 1st, next, will require a total
of 6,671 men, none of whom can be
provided under existing laws. The de-
tailed list is as follows: Indiana, 400
men; New York, 400 men; Texas, $50;
Columbia and Minneapolis, 400 each;
Baltimore, 375; San Francisco, $50:
Olympia, 375; Cincinnati and Raleigh,
300 each; Detroit, Montgomery and
Mablehead, 220 each; Boston, $50; Pur-
itan, 200; Terror. 175; Miantonomah,
175; Katahdin, 70; Alliance, 100; Mo-
hican, 100; ten torpedo boats, 400, or
total of 5000 men, one-tenth reserve.
Cos, grand total of 6,671 men. And
there is even a greater demand for
officers than for seamen.

the trusts. In so far as the leaders
can whip their followers into line the
trusts are to have what they ask for
at the hands of this Congress, and to
be protected against any additional tax
or other burdens. The shipping sub
sidy bill, which is the pet trust meas
ure, may fail because popular senti-
ment is overwhelmingly against it, but
if the Republican programme can be
carried out, it will be forced through
even if the revenue reduction bill must
be defeated in the Senate to leave a
surplus in the Treasury large enough
to pay the proposed subsidies. The
trusts that furnished the campaign
funds must have their money back, no
matter what other interests suffer.

THE DEMOCRATIC CITY "ICkET.

citizens as well. From its head to
the last Council nominee it is repre-

For Mayor the Democracy presents
the name of Andrew T. Sweeney for
reelection. Two years ago he easily
DEF tied his Republican rival for Of
fee. and after a clean, clear and level
headed administration of city affairs
so far as they devolved upon him, he
is again a candidate for election.
He stands as fair now as he did two
years ago, and ms endorsement will
be an evidence of popular apprecia-
ton of duty we'll performed.
For City Clerk the nomination OF
Fred. H. Colmar carries with it the
assurance of capability, honesty and
integrity. young man, he is both
well known and deservedly popular,
and his strength and support will
reach far beyond ordinary party
lines.
Of the nominee for City Sergeant,
John S. Ritz, little need be said. No
man is better known in the city than
he. and his capacity for the faithful
discharge of his duties is beyond
question Or doubt Always a work
ingman his candidacy appeals par
ticularly to that strong voting ele
ment and yet he will receive the
cordial support OF all classes
Of our population. Two years
ago he amply demonstrated his pop
ularity, and this time will do much
better.
Mr.. Jefferson Frame, the candidate
for Wharf-master has comprehen-
sive knowledge of the duties of that
Office, added to a wide personal pop
ularity. He will make a good of1ic-
ial for the responsible position for
whics he is a candidate.
The Council nominees are uniform
ly good in the several wards, and will
command the hearty support of that
large element of non-partisan voters
in city affairs who are Disguised with
the acts and policies of the present
municipal legislature. There is a de-
cided public sentiment that a radical
cnange in the personnel of Council
would be a good thing for the city,
and a close scanning of the Demo-
cratic nominees reveals an opportun-
ity for Improvement that will be cor
daily embraced.
The ticket is good 1t is popular 1t
was largely nominated by overwhelm-
ing majorities, N many instances
there being no contests for the hon
ors bestowed, and it is the pleasure
as it is the duty of the Register to
commend it 10 the voters of the city.

Philadelphia Times
In the passage through the House Of
the bill reducing the existing Federal
revenues by the sum o. forty millions,
thirteen days after the opening ses.
sion, two most important facts have
been clearly established. The first Is
that Speaker Reed spoke by the book
when he said that the House had ceased
to be a deliberGtive body. The second
is that the Democratic charge thai
the Republican party favors trusts and
powerful corporations TO the detriment
of the masses is confessed by the ac-
ton of the Republicans in voting down
Representative Newland's amendment
taxing the gross receipts of industrial
corporations which exceed $500, 900 one
twentieth OF one per cent.
There Is little to indicate that the
revenue reduction bill was ever in
tended to be more than a feint in
the direction of reducing the tax bur
dens OF the country. But such as it is,
it was framed entirely in the ways and
means committee, and put through the
House as a Republican measure with
the scantiest possible courtesy to those
who sought to oppose or amend it.
In the older days of Federal legislation
no important revenue measure AFFECT
ing the revenues to the extent of forty
or fifty millions was ever forced
through the House within less than
two weeks after its introduction into
that body. Modern legislation, so far as
the House is concerned, is framed in
committee, adopted in party caucus and
forced through the House under the
previous question If necessary.
In rejecting Representative New
lands amendment by party vote, the
