Our Merchant Marine.

The condition of the American mer-
chant marine is such as to tall for imr1e-
date remedial action by the Congress-
1t is discredtable to us as a Nation that
our merchant marine should be utterly
insignificant in comparison 20 that of
other nations which We overtop in other
forms of business. We should not longer
submit to conditions under which only
trifiing portion of our great commerce is
carried in our own ships. To remedy this
state CT things would not merely serve to
build up our shipping interests, but it
would also result in Benefit to all who
are interested in the permanent estab-
lishment Of a wider market for American
products, ana would provide an auxiliary.
force for the navy. Ships work for their
own countries just as railroads work
for their terminal points. Shipping lires,
if established to the principal countries
with which we have dealings, would be
of political as we'll as commercial benefit.
From every standpoint it is unwise for
the United States to continue to rely
upon the ships of competing nations for
the distribution of our goods. 1t should
be made advantageous to carry American
goods in American built ships.
certain great disadvantages when put in
competition with the shipping of foreign
countries Many of the fast foreign
steamships, at speed of fourteen knots
or above, are subsidized; and all our
ships, sailing vessels and steamers alike,
cargo carriers of slow speed and mail
carriers of high speed, have to meet the
fact that the original cost of building

case abroad; that the wages paid Ameri-
can officers and seamen are very much
higher than those paid the officers and
seamen of foreign competing countries;
and that the standard of living on our
ships is far superior to the standard
of living on the ships of our commercial
rivals.
Our Government should take such &C

Trusts s hould be Supervised

There is widespread conviction in the
minds of the American people chat the
great corporations known NJ trusts, are
in certain of their features and tenden-
cies hurtful to the general welfare. This
springs from no spirit OF envy or un-
charitableness, nor lack o. pride in the
placed this country It the head of the
nations struggling fer commercial SUI
premacy. 1t does not rest Jpn lack of
intelligent appreciation of the necessity
of meeting changing and changed con-
d,ticns of trade with new methods. nor
upon ignorance of the fact that combi-
nation of capital in the efforts to accom-
plish great things is necessary when
the worlds progress demands that great
things be done. It is based upon sincere
conviction that combination and concen-
tration should be. not prohibited, but SUI
pervised and within reasonable limits
controlled; and in my judgment this con-
vction is right.
1t is no limitation upon property rights
or freedom of contract to require that

is getting on its holiday fxin's. Since
we were there last fall a very notable
improvement has been made in the
village. Mr.. Grabau has built a new
house and occupies it with his family,
he has also built barn; Mr.. Sanborn
has built much needed room to his
store and dwelling; T. S. johnson
occupies double the room for goods
that he did year ago; Mr. Shumaker
is maintaining his trade; d. B. Cole
occupies the Whitman hall and will
furnish food and rest to the weary;
Jas. Lannan owns and occupies nice
house near its elegant new school
house; Geo. Price measures out
lumber from its we'll stocked yard:
the blacksmith shop is well patronized;
the elevator operated for the Fleming
Bros, is doing nice business; the
smoke from the creamery indicated
that it too was doing business, and
Mrs. Jane e. Price is the same good
old lady that she has been for all the
years of her eyentful and toiling life.
With two churches, three stores, a
mill, an elevator, railroad sta tion
and telegraph office, Bonair has a
right to put on airs.

Suicide Near Plymouth Rock.

Last Wednesday afternoon the body
OF James Mathews, farmer living in
Burr Oak township near Plymouth
Rock, was found by members of the
family, hanging by the neck from
tree, short distance from the house.
MIR. Mathews was about IS years old
and was we'll known in that part of
the county, where he had lived for
many years. He came in from his
work to dinner on Wednesday as
usual, remaining while after the
meal; about 2 O'Clock left the house
and went to the barn, not returning
to the house again. About o'clock
the family becoming alarmed at the
prolonged absence, went in seach of
him, and found him hanging to tree
not over 100 feet from the house. He
had procured halter from the barn,
fastened it to limb of the tree,
which was not above the reach of an
ordinary sized person, stepped upon
chair and adjusting moose about his
neck, kicked the chair from under his
feet. When cut down by the Sheriff
and the others his feet were resting
upon the ground. Blood covered his
face from a wound inflicted in the
morning by his wife striking him
with piece of wood during family
which we understand were
not infreQuent. Domestic difficulties
were undoubtedly the cause Of his
taking his life. He leaves widow
and several grown sons and daughters.
