EyThe American people are not so partic.
u,ar whether this or that particular bill is
passed to build up American shipping, as
they are that some effective measure be
put upon our statutes at once, that will ac-
comphsh this very desirable result The
people feel that it is the duty of con-
gress to enact such a measure without fur
ther delay.
By"Undoubtedly there il a majority of
the senate in favor of the bill, says the New
York Times, in an editorial urging demo-
cratic senators to resort to every possible
device to prevent vote being taken on
the bill. When the enemy is compelled to
thwart the majority will, they are subvert'
ing the government to their own endS-to
the desires of the minority.
OThe great bulk OF the people cannot
be expected to know whether the details
OF this or that bill are best adapted to pui

number to do American carrying. lhe)
leave that for congress TO determine Bu
they do desire, and that unanimously anc
emphatically, that congress shall no longel
delay doing its full duty in tins respect
The people are looking for results.
UOficiai figures show that Great Brit
ain spends each year $500, 900 more on he
subsidies to British steamships than sh
gets for sea postage on British mails. TIL
United States, on the other hand, get
81 800, 900 more for sea postage on its mail
each year than it spends in subsidies t.
both American and foreign steamships
And yet there are those who say tina
Great Britain don't pay subsidies to he
ships.

SOME CHINESE FAKES.
wooden Cans of Beef and Pencils
without Lead Among
Them.

"The wooden nutmeg Yankee and
the fellow who sharpened shoe pegs
at both ends and sold 'em for oats
were raw amateurs compared to the
heather Chinee," remarked the trav-
cling representative of a big house
that deals in table delicacies, says the
New Orleans Times Democrat. "Our
foreign agent, c. l.. Barlow, who, by
the way. is native of New Orleans,
was in Shanghai at the time the Box
ers broke loose and has remained
there ever since. A few weeks ago
the firm received package from him
inclosing a lot of Chinese counterfeits
of American goods which he had
picked up at different times as curios,
Some of the fakes were very ingenious
and some were laughable in their cold
blooded rascality. Among the lot, for
instance. was packet of what looked
exactly like ordinary American lead
pencils, with the name of a we'll
known maker stamped in gilt at one
end. They were perfect fac-similes
and would, no doubt, have answered
just as well as the genuine if they had
contained any lead: but that feature
was omitted. They were simply
round sticks stained black. OF course
such brazen frauds are not sold in the
established shops. They are handled
by native peddlers, who work them
off in large quantities on foreigners
who are purchasing supplies. Mr.,
Barlow writes that an English engi-
neering officer of his acquaintance in
vested in 100 dozen. Another gem in
the collection is box of toilet soap
made out of sort of clay, mixed with
a little grease and stained pink. The
stuff looks like soap, feels like soap
and smells like soap, and as long as
one keeps it away from water it is all
right. But if it gets wet it becomes
mud, What was perhaps the bo.dest
fake in the lot was dummy can of
beef. 1t was simply a cylinder of
wood covered at both ends with lead
colored metallic paint and wrapped
around with what appeared to be a
genuine American label. In making
lHe weight tNdClll tHt Shllle dS lldl
Of bona fide tin of meat the Chinese
counterfeiter had displayed a good
deal of cunning, The wood was little
too heavy. and to reduce it TO the
proper point he had bored hole in
the side and plugged II with light
porous earth. The label is so perfect
that we are in doubt whether il is a
Autographed copy or the real thing
stripped from some old can. The
dummy is one of big consignment
which is said TO have been unloadet
on an army contractor. He was told
that the stuff had been stolen from
an American warehouse, and wheT
the lot was exhibited to him in a par
tally darkcned room few dozen rea
cans were scattered around on top
They were opened in his presence tt
show the quality of the meat. and HI
was fool enough to buy the entire sup
ply at about half price. The Chimes
declare the victim was Jap. but tina

salt-say hogshead full"
