In spite of all our philosophy the
invasion of the birthplace of Chris
tianity by modern devices and modes
of life CRATES harshly on sensitive
minds. Names hallowed by religious
associations seem out Of place on rail-
way timetables or subscription lists
of long-distance telephones. or
course, all this is Illogical for we
need not expect any part of the
world to remain in infancy, still prim-
tive habits and modes of life are so
naturally blended with the Biblical
narrative that we cannot entirely 0up-
press a wish for their perpetuation.
But modern innovations are strangers
to sympathy. The railway from Joppa

projected to connect Jerusalem with

other places, while in the city itself
there are electric lights, telephones
and other modern conveniences. In

Things to Think About.

The first steamer of a new ocean
going line was launched at South Chi.
cago on Saturday. 1t will be one of
the four American ships to ply between
Chicago and Liverpool without sub.
sides by way Of the Canadian canals.
1t will carry 1900 tons Of freight. The
reason 1t will not carry 10000 tons is
that the canals are not large enough.
A canal that would take 5000 ton
steamer from the lakes to the ocean
across the state Of New York instead
Of across Canada could be built for
5000, 100000. The interest on the cost
Of Its construction would be $4,000 600
year, and the tolls would pay interest
and principal. With such q canal the
shipbuilders Of the great lakes would
send the American flag into every sea
without cent of subsidy. Would not
that be cheaper and more sensible
way Of reviving the American mer-
chant marine than allowing Mr.. Han
,a's friends to pocket 5000, 900 year Z

ATTACK ON MR.. BRYAN.
Coincident With the Effort to Revive
Cleveland as q Prophet.

Coincident With the Effort to Revive
Cleveland as a Prophet.
1t Is significant that In connection
as political prophet there is studied
effort to belittle and abuse the man
who has twice upheld the Democratic
standard with courage and fidelity.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan was the
standard bearer In the campaign just
closed. that he conducted clean cut
and honorable fight, and that he Is
today. by virtue of the honoYs placed
upon him. the foremost Democratic citi-
zen of the Union, does not save him
from the assaults Of party bushwhack-
ers, whose only grievance against him
Is that he stood upon platform which
had been built up by the Democratic
masses.
The people recognize the facts and
understand fully the animus of the at
tack. As intimated by Mr.. Bryan
himself. no one knows the future. 1t Is
not at all probable that Mr.. Bryan will
ask for another nomination. But, what
ever happens. the Democracy of the ma
ton will not be shambled by those who
strike at the party through Its chosen
leaders. AS a private in the party Mr..
Bryan has the right to speak and to
suggest, and his SO doing should not
be held to his disadvantage.
The voters are watching the game
and they will dispose of It as soon as
they have chance.-Atlanta ConstItu-

SUBSIDY WARNING.
How Government Aid Was Abused
by the Pacific Mail Company.

HOW government At0 "hb ADuhcu
by the Pacific Mail Company.
In illustrating how the persons and
corporations protected by subsidies like
that which is the subject Of the Hanna
Frye-Payne bill are not the deserving
infants who ought to have them, but
greedy giants who do not need them,
the Chicago American instances the
Pacific Mail subsidy. says the Kansas
City Times.
An act was passed in 1S47 requiring
the secretary of the navy to arrange
for American steamships to carry the
mail from Panama up the Pacific coast.
From this contract arose the Pacific
Mail Steamship company.
In 1865 the Pacific Mail company was
offered large inducements to extend its
lines to China and Japan. Five hun
dred thousand dollars annually was
given to II for this transpacific line.
An attempt was made in 1872 to in
crease the subsidies to the Pacific Mail
company. AS the company had not CIV
en- value to the government for its for
mer subsidies an investigation was
made by congress. 1t disclosed dread
full state Of affairs.
Before 1865 the company had been
sound. 1t fell into the hands of specula-
tors when the subsidies were increased.
From above par the stock fell below 40.
Because Of the fact that the specula-
tors took the subsidies and put them In
their own pockets the company failed
to build enough vessels to carry on its
business properly, and the government
mails were not properly carried.
In the face Of these exposures the
company still begged for more subsi-
dies. AS a result the Pacific Mail COM
pany drove off, by corruption. all pri-
vate enterprises and did the same in
jury to the shipping interests Of the
Pacific coast that its twin subsidized
Southern Pacific railroad had done to
overland traffic.

A boatman in the north Of England
having been engaged to row reverend
gentleman over rough part of river,
was very much annoyed at the manner
he was addressed by the clergyman.

Clergyman-My dear man, have you

Clergyman-Well. my friend. that's

was turning very boisterous and they
were In great danger. when suddenly
the boat gave iurch and was cap

shipovvrers want Psy For What
They Now DO For Nothing.
The ship subsidy bill Is novelty in
legislation. II is proposition to pay
S9,0OO,000 year to a certain number
of wealthy gentlemen for no other
apparent reason than that they would
like to have 1t.
II purports to be designed for the
revival of the American merchant
marine, but 1t makes no requirement
to that end. We have about 100000
tons OF shipping engaged In the foreign
trade Mt present without subsidies,
Under the new bill the government
will be expected to pay the owners of
these ships for doing what they are
doing now for nothing.
1t is estimated that Americans own,
or have contracted for, about 100000
tons of foreign built shipping, presum-
ably because they found 1t profitable
to do so They are to have a gift
from the treasury for that.
1t is alleged that one object Of the
subsidy bill is to provide nursery for
American seamen. But that Is left en-
tirely to the patriotism Of the benef-
Charles. They are to have one-fourth
of the crews of their ships Americans
unless they find 1t more convenient to
do otherwise. They are also to employ
one American boy as an apprentice for
every thousand tons Of subsidized ship
ping. provided the secretary Of the
treasury sees ft to insist upon the re-
quirement.
The bill Is urged under false pre-
lenses. 1t is alleged that the subsidy
policy is followed by all the other great
maritime nations of the world. The
truth Is that general navigation boun
ties are paid only by those countries
whose merchant marines are decadent
namely, France and Italy. The ma
tions whose shipping Is fourishing-
Great Britain. Germany and Norway
pay no such subsidies.
Great Britain and Germany make
their payments only to certain specified
lines for carrying the mails and provid
ing auxiliary cruisers. Great Britain's
payments for these definite services
amounted in 1899 to $5,S51 ,525 ant
Germany's to $l.S94,62 We propose
to pay $9OO0,OOO to the owners of ev
erything that floats under our flag
whether 1t is capable of rendering any
service or not.
These facts are contained in the very
report of the commissioner of naviga

Lincoln used to be fond of telling q
story Of lawyer in a western town
who desired the nomination for county
Judge. On the morning preceding the
evening on which the county cOnven-
tion was to meet he applied to the liv.
cry stable keeper In his village for a
horse and buggy In which to drive to
the county town, 16 miles distant,
where the convention was to be he'd.

lawyer horse that outwardly apps ar

tirely before half the journey was COM
pleted, so that when the candidate ar.
rived the convention had adjourned
and his rival had been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that II
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You

That Is the Kind the Masses of the

A nobler Democrat than Thomas A.
Hendricks of Indiana never lived, says

In recent speech Indiana's present
Democratic leader, Hon. John w. Kern,
said Of him:
The Democracy OF Hendricks was the Democ.
racy Of the Kansas City convention. II living, his
voice would have rung out in the last campaign
in behalf Of those principles always dear to his
heart. But while the Democratic party Is still
the conservative party, as It was in the days oil
Hendricks. 1t is as ready now then to strive to
find common ground upon which all Democrats
who believe In constitutional government may
stand In coming conflicts
1t is today holding no parley with deserters; itl
ears are closed against words OF advice gTatuitousy
offered by alleged Democrats who vote the Repub'
hcan ticket or by those In the great struggle oi
1900 who withheld both vote and voice from the
cause Of the peopl, and could see In that mighty
contest only painful and distressing situation.
There is no occasion for elimination and re.
elimination as between Democrats, but there
should always be generous and patriotic rivalry
as to who will render the most effective service
In the work Of building up the party organization
and Strengthening the party lines for the coming
conflict.
The Democracy of Hendricks, OF
Thurman, Of Buckalew and the Other
great men who fought straight from
the shoulder and won elections with
out an "un-Democratic compact" with
Mugwumps! That is the kind the
Democratic masses want, and they will
never barter 1t for the convenience OF
time servers.
The Democracy led by Hendricks
was growing force; the body left
by the "un-Democratic compact" with
Mugwumpery was puny and dying
Life has now returned. and the giant
