The numerous hold-ups of through
passenger trains has caused an en-
gineer on the Monon road to apply
his ingenuity to the task of invent
ing q device by which the crew Of
the entire train are warned of any
occurrence on or near the locomotive
that seems to indicate hold-up. The
device is operated by means of air,
and connects every part of the train.
The engineer may give the warning
unnotieed by anyone near the engine,
and any trainman may use the same
contrivanoe to warn hands on any
other part of the train, including the
engineer or fireman. A mere touch
Of button will set dozen whistles
blowing, put out the lights and FIRE
of one or more guns in the baggage
car. All this sounds very ingenious,
but if the roksers are not scared
away the trair hands must fight
them just as they did before.

Senator Frye is probably correct
when he says that the ship subsidy bill
represents the "best judgment Of the
most experienced shipping men of this
country put into legal form by the best
counsel obtainable," but he has, uncon-
sciously no doubt, given the whole snap
away. The shipping men have had the
best counsel obtainable to help them
plan raid on the United States treas
ury under the pretense that it is for
the benefit Of commerce. Why didn't
commerce think Of it first then2 But
commerce isn't asking for this ship
subsidy bill, and it does not appear
that anybody is but a few Of 1.-THE most

proposition was so rank and offensive

ems the future success Of the Repub
lican party, and the quicker 1t is killed
the better.-Minneapolis Journal.

The resolution adopted by congress
about Cuba three years ago reads:
"That the United States hereby dis
claim any disposition or Intention to
exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or
control over said Islands, except for
the pacitication thereof, and assert
their determination that when that
is completed to leave the government
and control of the island to its peo-
pie"
The republicans now tell us that
resolution was adopted in haste and
without due and deliberate considera-
tion. The republican platform adopt
ed at Philadelphia, June 20, 1900, on
this subject affirmed the foregoing
resolution in these words:
"To Cuba independence and self
government were assured in the same
voice by which war was declared, and
to the letter this pledge shall be per-
formed"
Perhaps this resolution was adopted
in haste and without due considera-
tion. and perhaps 1t was adopted to
get in on. Taking these resolutions
into consideration it is difficult to see
what Congress or the President of the
United States has to do with the con-
stitution of Cuba at the present time.

The following quotations from other
important Republican organs give some
idea Of the revolt Senator Hanna has
stirred up by his attempt to put the
ship subsidy bill through:
1t has been made manifest during the
session that the sentiment of the vast
middle west and of considerable pro-
portion Of all other parts of the coun-
try is unalterably opposed to the sub
sidy plan. Among those who are not
actively opposed to it another very
large proportion of the public is either
apathetic or not fully informed as to
the character and purpose Of the meas
ure. The active support Of the bill
comes from the interests to be benefit
ed and from the handful Of senators
who have taken it upon themselves to
endow those interests with rich annu-
ity from out the public treasury.
The senatorial contest over the meas
ure is thus fairly q contest Of public
sentiment against private interests,
and the fact that the latter are suffi-
GENTLY powerful to fight their battle on
anything like equal terms is in itself
unpleasantly suggestive Of the extent
to which private interests have gained
influence in the senate.-Chicago Times
Herald. Qnd. Rep0.

THE SUBSIDY BILL.
STRONG REPUBLICAN, OPPOSITION
DEVELOPED.

Senator Hanna Not Followed-The
Subsidy Bill Too Much of n Steal
For a Large Part of the Republican
Party-The Chicago Tribune's Cnn-
vnss of Republican Editors In Gem
trail Western States.
ing canvass Of the views of the edi-
tors OF the leading newspapers of a
number Of the central western states.
In recent editorial The Tribune sums
up the results as follows:
AGAINST THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
OF the Republican editors in Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana who have
been asked by The Tribune for their
views concerning the ship subsidy bill
a majority are opposed to that meas
ure. Some disapprove of it because
its chief benefciaries will be corpora
tons that need no government aid
Others do not believe it will benefit in
the least the producers of the middle
west, though they will have to pay a
part of the proposed subsidies. There
are others who believe natural causes
will build up the American merchant
marine in the course Of time and that
resort to subsidies is unnecessary.
1t is the good fortune of the editors
of papers printed in smaller towns to
be tolerably we'll acquainted with their
subscribers and their opinions. When
one Of these editors says the people"
are against measure, he speaks advis-
eddy SO far as his constituency is con-
cerned. He Is not making random
guess. Therefore when number Of
country editors express themselves in
reference to the ship subsidy bill as do
those whose opinions have been printed
in The Tribune it means that behind
them are great many Republican vii
lage people and farmers who hold the
same opinions.
The public sentiment of the Republic
an voters Of the middle west concern
ing this ship subsidy legislation is not
reflected accurately in the columns of
newspapers which use the editorials
and the plate matter Of the national
committee. This is fact senators and
representatives from that part OF the
country should bear in mind and es-
cape the modification and apprehen-
sion they will feel if they discover on
returning home that they have deaed
public opinion in their states and dis
tricts.
