THE SUBSIDY COMBINE.

The developments of the summer are
slowly throwing light on the activities In
certain directions during the w,!1ter. The
cards are falling out of the sleeves of
Messrs. Hanna, Morgan. and Griscom,
where they were so carefully concealed
during the session of Congress, when the
Ship Subsidy bill was under consideration
Although the bill failed of passage. de-
spite its numerous redraftings and tho
addition of conciliatory amendments, the
plan which it was designed to aid and
abet was not dropped. Senator Hanna,
the father and engineer of the bill: Mir.
Griscom. President of the International
Navigation Company, and Pierpont Nor
gan are now engaged in the gigantic
ask OF unifyins and combining the Penn
sylvanta Railroad. the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad. the transatlantic lines
running out of New York and Newport
News. and the largest fleets of the Great
Lakes.
When the shipping bill was under con-
sideraton in the Senate there was much
curiosity to know why it was that the AT
iantic ferryboats always came in for the
greatest benefits under the proposed sub
s!dy system, despite the fact that a sub

The report of Colonel Miller TO General
Gillespie. Chief of the Engineer Corps,
states that there is a reckless waste Of
water in the District Considering the
character and consistency of the fluid,
this is rather hard to believe. II Potomac
water is being wasted in Washington it
must be as the result of malicious mis-
chief. Nobody would think of legitimate

The steel strike situation yesterday
was free from the violent features pre-
dicted at Wellsville and Mckeesport. At
the latter place the sheet mill did not
start. but representatives of the trust
say that it will be opened with non-union
labor very soon. At Wellsville three of
the six mills were in operation. The
clash which seems inevitable again has
been postponed. but, it is to be feared, not
for long.

The effort at expansion in which the
Russian navy is engaged has led to orders
for the building of new ships In differ
ent countries Like America, France has
come in for her share in this business
and one of the most important warshps
now under construction for Russia in that
country is the Czarevitch. This will be a
big arnor-clad of 1900 tons displacement
and has that ''ferocious' appearance for
which French battleships are consfic-
uous- Her masts, heavy, casteilated, and
bristling with guns; her tumble-ho
sides; her high superstructure and nu-
merous ''tourelles," or turrets, contribute
to impress the onlooker with the idea of
warIike power This appearance is not
infrequentiy deceptive. but in the present
case cannot be considered so.

II is not generally known that debtors
can still be sent to prison under the laws
of England. but during the last year there
has been decided reduction among this
class of prisoners because OF rules re-
Gently adopted compelling debtors tc work
like other prisoners. The commissioner
reports that the rule has operated very
benefcially, both morally and physically.
The debtors do not like to work. they
prefer loafing and idleness in prison, and
consequently they dread Imprisonment,
and their numbers are getting less" An
other rule prohibits them from receiving
wine. beer, and meals from the outside,
which Is also having a beneficial effect.
Debtors are now compelled to accept the
ordinary fare Of the other prisoners. and
since they have found this out habitual
debtors are taking means of avoiding i'm
prisonment The total number of debtors
imprisoned last year was L, 1862. of whom

Scotland has the largest number of
criminals in the United Kingdom. Last
year 1856 persons were convicted in the
courts for every 10000 of the population.
In England the ratio was only 5sl and in
Ireland SSs. The explanation is that the
Scots are very Incorporate; that they
drink whisky instead OF beer, which in
duees crime.
There has been a decided reduction in
the number of felonies committed. par
ticularly in England and Wales. During
the five years ending with 1853 the number
of persons convicted of felony was 1874 for
every 10000 of the population. For the
ten years ending with 1863 the ratio was
3 for every 10000; for the ten years end
ing 1879 il was SIS; for the ten years end
ing 1889, 3.3, and for the ten years ending
1893 it was reduced to 2.5. This is ac-
counted for by sociologists by the increase
of education. In 1870 only 80 per cent of
prisoners were well educated; in 1909 the
ratio was 46 per cent. In 1870. So per cent
could neither read nor write; in 1900 only 8
per cent.
The report of the chaplain in charge OF
educational and religious work among
prisoners shows that the number of chill
dren who find their way to prison is grad
ually diminishing and that the moral con-
dition of the young in the Slums of the
manufacturing cities has been greatly I'M
proved by benevolent societies But in
all cases of children convicted of crime,
the report says. the root OF the evil is
found at home"
''Drunkards are getting worse than
ever" continues the report The major
ity of prisoners owe their degradation to
drink, and Imprisonment has no effect
upon them. The chief cause of crime is
excessive drinking and the common cause
of assaults The sin of drunkenness is not
decreasing among women. One-third of
the wcmen in prison owe their imprison-
ment to drink"

a libel suit arising out of the charge of

evidence of the alleged existence of q
secret fund for purposes of agitation in
which Cologne was credited with 1,20O. 900
marks. The Cologne Gazette decided that
the article brought into question its honor
and replied by savagely attacking the cor
respondent, whose name is DR.. Liman.
This attack formed the subject of the
libel suit instituted by DR.. Liman against
the former editor of the Cologne Gazette.
DIR. August Schmits, and the sub-editor
DR.. Won Loock.
The verdict of the court was that the
articles IN the Cologne Gazette were in
sulting to DIR. Liman, but, on the other
hand, 1t could not be proved that DR.
Liman's general charges OF corruption
were specifically ieveled at the Cologne
Gazette in a way to justify retaliation
The court expressly declared that there
was no evidence that the Cologne Gazette
had been bribed or that 1t had adopted

DR.. Schmits was sentenced to a fine of
100 marks, or ten days Imprisonment
and DR. von Loock to a fine of 20y
marks, or twenty days Imprisonment
The affair has created no little amuse-
ment among the European press of pro-
British proclivities, as from the first the
Cologne Gazette has been the most pro-
nounced Anglophobic sheet in Germany.

The coinage of money is not the onIy
work of the mint in London. Apart from
the South African souvenirs, the pro
duction of which was hurried forward
during the latter part of last year in an

from the mint in the twelve months ended
on December 81, iG.9n medals To the War
Office. 92l to the Admiralty. Ices to the
government of Canada, and 30 to the

In connection with the cell in Holloway
iaiI where Earl Russell will serve his sen
tence for bigamy it is said that it was
formerly occupied by the English Journal
list. w. T. Stead, and the novelist. Ed
mund II. Yates. The affairs in which they
were engaged, although they caused tre-
mendOus sensation at the time. are now
almost forgotten. Stead. it may be re-
membered was largely in the eye of this
country about six years ago as the au-
thor of a book, IF Christ Should Come to
Chicago" that was regarded as so BIAS
phemous the big news companies refused
to handle IL. The offence for which Yates
was imprisoned took place in 1874 and con-
sisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper,
the World" on the Earl of Lohsdale.
While not the writer of the article him
self he refused to divulge the>name of its
author and so subjected himself to pen

commotion by alleging :hat English so
ciety from the Prince of Wales down was
permeated by the most horrible immor-
ality A body of gentlemen, composed OF
some of the most eminent in the Kingdom,
sifted his charges and the result was that
new laws were proposed and passed reSu-
Iatinp the subject matter of his allega-

was guilty of technical violation OF the
law and for this he had to undergo prls-
ON detention for three months.

Awarded Second zpretnisftl.

A message to the GAZETTE
from Salem, Wednesday after.
noon, announced the fact that
Benton county had been awarded
the second premium in the coun.
ty exhibit contest at the state
fair. The glory of this victory
is enhanced when it is considered
that ours is one of the smallest
counties in the state, and the
general exhibit was the finest
ever shown at the Oregon state
fair.
Mr.. French, who had the ex.
hibit in charge, is entitled to the
highest credit, and to his efforts,
undoubtedly, are due the honors
won in this contest.
Linn county was given the first
premium of $500; Benton, Sec
ond, $3.50; Washington, third,
$500; Marion, fourth, $50;
Polk, fifth, 500. This will be
a sore disappointment to some of
the counties, especially Yamhill,
where a really excellent display
was arranged.

what took place on the street,
Wednesday, that the show aa-

his request in the matter of the
parade; therefore, I thiak il
would be a good thing for the
schools If the council would new
pass the ordinance, as it would
relieve the manager of all re-
spehsibility IN the matter, and
obedience would be more likely
to follow. A baad will draw
