THE SHIP SUBSIDY scHEME.
A Plan to Mulct the Producers %
Benent the wealthy ship
Owners.

More light il thrown on the PROPOSE
ton to pay the ship owners 1000
bounty out Of the pockets Of the tax
payers every year for 20 years by the
Portland Oregonian, which thus de-
scribes the situation at the Portland
docks:
There are 20 ships in this port to-
day. all loading wheat and flour Tor
Europe. Africa and the orient. These
20 ships are owned by II different indi-
viduals or firms. They will carry away
about 100000 bushels of wheat,
grown by at least 1900 farmers. who
receive no subsidy for growing wheat
in competition with the pauper labor OF
India. Russia and the Argentine. Hav-
ing no protection whatever in their
business. these 1.500 farmers should
not be forced 10 pay a subsidy tax 10
increase the already large profits OF the
II ship owners. who are carrying their
produce to market-not from any pa
triotic motive. but because there -
money in the business. With the ex-
ception OF couple Of French vessels
none of the fleet now in the river draws
a subsidy from any government. they
sail the world over, taking cargo wher-
ever il can be found. and successfully
competing with other SHIPS
This is the whole case against the
subsidy in nutshell. II is proposed
that 1900 producers shall pay IA ship
owners for transporting the produc1
TO market price sufficient to yield 6
reasonable profit; and that. in addi1
ton. the producers shall join with ing
rest Of us in paying bounty TO tn9

TIE CAMPAIGN is ON.
Roth Factions VIII Hold Rallies To-
MT ph

The campaign for the Chatham county
sollcitorship will open up in good live
style tonight. Each faction will have a
rally, and as these are respectively the
first public rallies of the campaign, con-
siderable interest will attach to them.
Nomnally they are only district rallies
but practically they will come nearer be.
ing party rallies.
The Fourth district Liberals will meet
at the Harris Street Hall. Mr.. t j.
Davis will call the meeting to order as
temporary chairman, and the club will
proceed to organize for the campaign
Mr.. Walter c.. Hartrdge will address the
meeting, as win several of the other well
known Liberal Club orators.
While the Liberal spellblnders are en-
tertaining the meeting on Harris street,
the Osborne supporters will be making
a lusty effort to raise the roof at Turner
Hail. 1t is freely predicted that the hail
will not be able to hold the large coutin-
gent from the First district, to say moth
ing from their friends and sympathizers
from other districts, who will desire to
be on hand
The feature of the Osborne meeting will
be the rally of the Southside clubs There
are three Osborne Clubs in the South
side two of them in the First district.
These are the w. w Osborne Club and
the Independent Club. Then there is the
Consolidated Southsde Club which is I'M
derstood to include the members of both
the other clubs and other Osborne sup
porters in that section, as we'll w T.
Hussey is president and Ebb Horning
secretary. The Consolidated organiza-
ton will meet at its hall at Second and
Whitaker streets, from which point
IL will march down town, head
ed by a brass band. to join
with the meeting at Turner Hall
The Citizen Club leaders will be on hand
of course, and there will be no lack of
orators
The campaign will go merrily on after
tonight. Both sides expect TO organize
in every district. The ground work has
already been done and it only remains for
the leaders to put their plans in execu-
ton. There is no lack of political work
ers on either side and the indications are
that the campaign viii be one of the
most thoroughly fought out the city has
ever experienced.

Sept. Ashmore's Report Speaks
Highly of the bethesda school.

The April meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation was rather brief, lasting only
about half an hour The members pres
ent were, Col. George A. Mercer, presi-
dent, and Messrs. b A. Denmark, Lee
Roy Myers, Herman Myers, F. G. du-
Bignon, MA. OByrne, ]. r. Saussy, =.
A. Stovall, and supt. otis Ashmore.
Chairman Lee Roy Myers, of the Com
mittee on School Houses, reported that he
had signed the contract with Mr.. j. p.
Eason, for the building of the Eighth
Street School house, and that work had
already begun.
Mr.. Denmark of the Finance Commit
tee, reported that the financial statement
had been submitted to the County Com
missioners. and the committee of the
grand jury, setting forth the financial
needs of the schools for the coming year.
President Mercer reported that he had
visited during the month, the Cathedral
and West Broad Street Schools, and
found their work satisfactory.
Supt. Ashmores report stated that the
schools are in good condition, and that
the work is reasonably sa tisfactory. With
the month of March the country colOred
schools closed after a six months session.
The attendance in these schools has been
slightly in excess of that OF last year,
said the superintendent and the work,
believe, has been better. While the gen
eral conditions under which the country
colored schools are operated are far from
IDEAL the results, l believe, are fairly
good"
Supt. Ashmore's mention in his report
of his annual inspection of the school at
bethesda is very complimentary TO that
institution The inspection was made last
Saturday the superintendent being ac-
companied by a number of teachers from
the city, who aided in the examinations.
1t give me much pleasure" said the SUI
perintendent, ito commend the educa-
tional work done here. 1 found 12S boys,
taught by three teachers, who are doing
excellent work. A neat and commodious
school building has been recently erected
to take the place of the one destroyed by
fire, and in its appointments are embraced
every substantial comfort and convenience
of a modern school. This building has
only two rooms yet and one room in
the main building is temporarily used for
n primary grade. The school, Fortunate
ly, has good teachers and the educational
than at any previous time in the history
of the institution"
The recent term examination in the city
schools, the superintendent stated show
that the teachers have been faithful in
the discharge of their duties, and that
the pupils have been dilgent as rule
in their studies A comparison of al.
tendance shows 80 pupils more in attend
ance in the schools now than at CORE
