POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Mark Hanna's claim that he rep. resents the labor element in work ing for the ship subsidy bill has shade of humor that the laboring man will not appreciate.-St. Louis Republic.
 -Hanna helped sidetrack Petit grew and now Pettigrew has helped sidetraek Hanna's ship subsidy bill. And thus does one good turn pursue another to the satisfaction of the pub- lie in both ses.-Indianapolis Sem tinel
 It is declared that Mr. Hanna is anxious to establish the principle of the ship subsidy. Is that all? Don't trouble congress with it. Just give the guards holiday and turn a band of train robbers loose in the United States treasury.-Cincinnat Enquirer.
 If Mir. Hanna fails to get that ship subsidy bill through, those con- tributors to his campaign fund. who expected to be more than reimbursed by means of this predatory piece of legislation, may refuse to allow him to have the pleasure of running an- other presidential Kansas City Times.
 Two years ago, William E. Chandler publicly said that the trouble with the republican party is too much Hanna. Mir Hanna should efface himself in the interests of har- mony." hanna could not see his way clear to do that, but he arranged to efface Chandler.-Albany Argus.
 The opposition to the ship sub- sidy bill comes not alone from demo- crats who object to this form of pa- ternalism on principle, but from inde- pendent and unfettered republicans, who recognized the fact that every claim made for it as a patriotic meas ure was fraudulent and false. This public opinion so foreib,y and per sistently expressed has created havoc among the Hanna following. especial ly from the west. who even for the benefit of Hanna's favor refuse to jeopardize their political standing among their own constituents by vot, ing for such a measure Utica Ob server.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.
The ship Subsidy Hill Fa:hered and Furthered by Interested
 Parties.

Senator Hanna is evidently getting very sensitive over the ship subsidy bill. In a special dispatch to the News the other day it was said that he had threatened to sue those pa pers that charged that he had any pe- cuniary interest to be served by the passage of that measure. But real 'ly there have been, as far as we have noted, no charges of that kind. What is asserted is that the men who are back of the bill are, as a rule, selfishly interested in it. and that their interests are diverse from those of the people. Mir. Rockefeller and Mir. Griscom. for instance. have never been known as men who set the welfare of their country above the welfare of themselves. In this connection we should refer to an- other statement made in the News The gentlemen who are conducting the bureau" in the interest of the ship subsidy bill are quoted as say ing:
 Tt can be announced authoritative that. with the single execution of the army bill. there is no measure before congress which Is considered by the ad- ministration to be of such urgent impor- tance to the welfare of the country as the pending shipping bill"
 It occurs to us that it would not be bad thing for the administration to speak for itself on this subject, as on all others. And if as our cor respondent says, in speaking of tbe statements made by this ship subsidy bureau. ''the president and all his cab met regard it (the subsidy bilD as essential to the continued prosperity of the nation" the president and his cabinet ought to say so. For our part. we think it is an outrageous re.-Indianapolis News.

TAXES OF THE WAR.
Scheme of Republican Trickster~ to Rob the
 People.

The republicans in congress evi- dently intend 10 make little reduc- tion of the war taxation 90 a good way. The republican platform prom ised the people a reduction, but re- publican platforms are often made to get in on, not to stand on.
 The house of representatives has passed a bill which makes a slight re- duction. but even this disappointirg- ly small reduction is held up in a sen ate committee, from which it seems unlikely to emerge. Meantime. the cost of the operations in the Philip pines continues at figure which must eat mp heavy slice of the war taxes.
 In addition, the scale of national ex- penditure is evidently to be lavish. Bills to enlarge the army. to enlarge the navy, to increase the pension list, to grant civil pension. to grant big subsidies, and to ''improye" rivers and harbors everywhere. are the order of the day. CongresSmen talk in billions nowadays. The other day a promi- nent congressman declared that a river and harbor bill appropriating s1oo,000.o00 could easily be passed at the present session. and he wondered at the congressional moderation.
 No Ding,ey tariff win provide for any such amount of expenditures. The Dinglev tariff scheme was on the point of collapsing when the Spanish war of 1898 enabled the republican party to impose war taxes and cun- ningly cover up the failure. By all indications prosperity" and "expan- sion" are to be the synonyms. during Mir. McKin'ey's second term, fer a wastefulness and corruption not equaled since the second term of Grant. The republicans are in full power. and Hanna is in the saddle.- Albany Argus.

senator wansed to Visit the Cook

Representative Jones, of Virginia, tells this story on his father: Direct ly after the war Jones senior was sent to the state senate. An old slave who had belonged to him was also elected 10 the senate. The two drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones was very cour- teous. and in addressing his former slave always called him senator. The old negro stood it for some time and finally said: 'Massa William. I don't like dis senator business. Kain't come down to yo' house and visit that cook of yourn? l suhtinly would like per mission 10 visit yo' kitchen The re- quest was granted. and while Senator Jones was in his library the other sen. ator was down in the kitchen visiting the cook.

La Grippe Is epidemic eatarrh.-It spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pau per. The masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt-a.l are liable.
 Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip IS well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read grip Without intending to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant with awful Grip had ciutched us in it's fata. clasp. Men, women, children, whole towns and eities are caught in the baneful grip of terrible monster.

 Grip Causes Deafness.

The ship subsidy bin is bad il

The ship subsidy bin is bad in principle, and it is dangerous even in the methods by which it proposes to put that principle into effect. Un- less the senate has more respect for Hanna's political authority than it has for the American people it will keep the subsidy bill where it is and devote the remaining time of the ses- sion 10 the transaction of necessa business.-Chicago Record Qnd).
