SIR. Money on Having. Senator

hazing that a young fellow goes through
in his initiation to college society is
usually restricted by some sort of sense of
seif-respect in both the hazer and the
hazee. 1t is useless for me to go over the
various things of I revolving character
that the poor fourth class man at West
Point has to undergo at the hands of his
brutal upper class mates. They are de-

man can submit 20 them and still retain

Commercial Navy. MY Social
Democratic friends in South Dakota"
said Senator Pettigrew, ARE more respon-
sible for the substitute for the Ship Sub
sidy bill, which 1 am credited with hav-
ing up my sleeve, than / am. The truth
is, he continued. they wrote to me
making certain suggestions, and l replied
telling them that / thought their scheme
was far more sensible, practicable, and
logical than the one now under consider
alton. What they have suggested might
properly be called a commercial navy.
1.-The plan is to spend as much as 1t is
contemplated by the bill under considera-
tion to pay in bounties. say about SO. O00,
G0G in the construction of merchant ships.
These would be the absolute and complete
property of the United States but would
be chartered for use by various eompan-
les at nominal rate. The ships would
be built with fighting qualities. Their
boiler protection, their bunker capacity,
and all that would be looked into as care
built for war vessels. while provision
would be made for the mounting of guns
and the vessels would be built to stand
the strain of firing them.
I'm fact the Government would have at
its hand large number of ships practi-
caily OF the same class as the Harvard,
Yale, and Princeton. which did such good
service during the war with Spain.
Further than this, the whole force of able
bodied seamen and officers would be
really part of the Navy of the United
States. They would be drilled. and would
be, to all intents and purposes, in Uncle
Sans service. To make the ship ready
for war then. it would be necessary only
to mount the guns, and supply trained
gunners.
The scheme has certainly its merits
and certainly deserves consideration. 1t
seems to me to provide for the expendi-
ture Of $1,000, 600 in a way less objection
able than that suggested in the Ship Sub
sidy bill"
