Darlington, Feb. pa case OF
smallpox has been discovered at Mel.

Montana a few days since i'll with a
disease alarmingly like smallpox. The
Melville people were alarmed and
notified the health authorities at Car

DR.. Mckenzie, superintendent of
the county board of health, examined
the patient and pronounced it a case
of genuine smallpox. A strict quaran-
tine has been established.
AS number of Melville people have
been exposed it is feared that there
may be an epidemic. All precautions

A Senate Incident.

Senator McCumber's speech in the
senate denouncing hazing ended in a
little literary adventure Illuminating
the fact that his early reading and
later recollection of the biography of
historical personages had left out one
celebrated Dago duellist and artist.
The incident is reported thus. In dis
cussing the question of what consti-
tutes bully and brave man Mr..
McCumber said:
'It seems to me that bravery is to
be determined by the individual who
is willing to meet death when it is
certain or when one knows that he
worsted in battle and not finch from
the fray. That is my idea OF brave
men,"
Then up jumped Mr.. Walcott of
Colorado, who said: "Mr. President,
l suggest to the senator from North
Dakota that if he would like the most
illustrious example in history of a
bully l would cite him the auto
biography of Benvenuto Cellini, who
was the most distinguished bully OF
history and the bravest man that ever
lived"
In perfect innocence and gravity,
Mr.. McCumber, who was gazing adj
miringly at the learned college-bred
senator from Colorado, said half re-
gretfully: 'Mr. President, I am not
acquainted with the person of whom
the senator speaks. I, however, would
like to have all the facts and circum-
stances surrounding the case to give
justification to the senator's remarks. !"
AS soon as the laughter occasioned
by the North Dakota senator's frank
admission had quieted, Mr.. Tillman
of South Carolina shouted across the
chamber: "Mr. President, will the
senator from North Dakota allow me
to ask the Colorado senator to put on
record this man? I did not catch his
name and do not think anybody else
did. We want the truth OF history
preserved"

A. few long-faced hypocrites raise
their hands in holy horror when a re-
turn to the ninety day divorce law is
mentioned. AS matter of fact the
divorces brought lots of money into
the state and the moral effect of their
presence was not bad. The following
from the Fargo Call is to the point:
''As a matter of fact the city OF Fargo
in the liveliest days OF the divorce col
ony was a model for morality COM
pared with the conditions of the pre-
sent time.'
Senator Cashel of Grafton is a demo-
crat and the natural supposition is
that being one Of a very small minor
ity he would be unable to accomplish
anything in Bismarck. This is not SO,
however. Cashel is one of the leaders
in the senate is given a DrOnoinent
place on the committees and is con-
sidered in all important matters.
During the sessions he takes part in
the debates and is an authority on
parliamentary law. He is an example
of a man who will have his say-and
his say carries considerable weight.
His success disproves the theory that
a democrat can do nothing when the
legislature is overwhelmingly repub-
lican.

An ordinary business man calculates
the advantages of a contract according
to the terms Of the contract itself. Eng
land, France and Germany require of
ship companies drawing governmental
subsidy contracts setting forth in detail
the services which the ships are to per-
form under the contract. The pending
subsidy bill in congress provides for a
contract. The only thing in the con-
tract that the ship Companies agree to
do is to build ships equal to the tom
mage drawing subsidy in American
yards. An examination will show that
these ships can be paid for exclusively
out of the subsidy. The contract does
not provide that these ships shall ever
be run unless additional subsidy is de-
sired upon ne ships. They can be sold
at once to either Americans or foreign
ers. They do not contract for any
amount of speed or any number Of
trips; they do not contract for any re-
duction of freight rates; they do not
contract for any services as auxiliary
cruisers; the only thing that they con-
tract to do is to use part Of the sub
sidy money in building ships for them
selves. Let any business man place
himself in the position of the govern
ment concerning this matter, and what
would he think of the value Of his con-
tract?
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1901-02-21


The business men of the country
have at last taken alarm at some of
the statements made in favor Of the
subsidy bill. One Of these statements
is that the amount paid by the carriage
Of foreign mails should be deducted
from the amount of the subsidy when
the expense is being considered. In
other words, it has been plainly init
mated by Senator Frye and others that
these subsidized ships are to carry all
the foreign mails of the United States.
In examining into the records Of the
American ships which will draw SUBJ
sidy the business men discover that il
these ships carry the mails the mails
to Europe and from Europe will be de-
layed from two to three days. To have
these ships carry the foreign mails in
stead Of having them carried as they
are now by the fast foreign companies,
would result in the loss of many mill
lions of dollars to American importers
and exporters. This feature of the sub
sidy bill has brought forth a good many
very vigorous protests. E

Some Points ON subsidy.

OF the many protests that have been
called forth by Senator Hanna's greedy
scheme for giving a bounty to the
Griscom line Of steamers and it's aff1l-
lated concerns, that contained in a re-
cent editorial of the New York Evening
Post is perhaps at once the most con-
else and most comprehensive. In it's
usual incisive style The Post points
out how the bill evades its ostensible
object Of aiding the expectation Of
American products, which could OBJ
yiously be best attained by making
the subsidy earned contingent on the
amount of cargo carried, and how the
SO called cargo amendment, intro
duced avowedly to accomplish this OBJ
ject, is a most transparent sham, be-
cause of the little joker contained, al
lowing charter of space by the year
to be substituted for the actual carry
ing Of cargo. Passing to the matter
Of wages, it shows how neatly the pro-
vision on its face designed to insure
the employment Of Americans as sea
men is completely nullified by the con-
dition that it, Americans canno,
reasonably be obtained" this pro-
vision is to be waived. In other
words, if they will not compete at the
lowest current rate Of wages, the ship
owners who arc being subsidized are
left free to exercise the right under
the revised statutes to engage their
crews in foreign ports for round
voyage, as the commissioner of naviga-
ton, one of the advocates Of the bill,
has admitted that it is already their
practice to do now.
On the question of speed there is a
special bonus for fast passenger ships
on the theory that such vessels would
be available for use in war one Of
the most objectionable features Of the
bill, by the way, as it makes it's greatest
benefits go to the boats carrying least
| cargo. But here The Post calls attention
to the fallacy of this provision, as it is
based not ON actual performances, but
on a trial trip of six hours, COMPARE
son that every one knows to be perfect
~ ridiculous Finally the similarity to
a bunko scheme Is clearly shown Of the
| provision H3fV ard to admitting for
eign built Wssels to subsidy privileges
that only SUCH vessels shall be eligible
as, were OWED by or under construc-
ton for Americans prior to Feb. i,
1899. thus limiting this advantage In
the most shameless way to the little
clique that have concocted this meas
ure and to that extent forbidding ell
other Americans from competi ton with
them.
