SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, is
doubtless right in his prediction that
the republicans will find themselves
sufficiently amenable to Hanna's will
in the next congress to pass ship
subsidy bill for the benefit OF certain
syndicates standing very near to Han
ma. He is also justified in Ills belief
that, even though the bill be modi-
fed version of that which Hanna tried
in vain to jam through the preceding
congress, il will nevertheless give the
democratic party excellent campaign
material for the congressional cam
paign of 1902. This is inevitable, for
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-05-07

the reason that the American people
are now too intelligently posted on
the ship subsidy question to be fooled
into believing that such a grant can
be anything but tax on tae people
for the further enrichment of the syn
dictates. The st. Louis Republic
says:
The country has not yet forgotten
the desp crate efforts made by Hanna
to bend the Fifty-sixth congress to
his will in this matter of tne passage
o. the Observation-Disclosures
oil ship subsidy bill. 1t is remem-
bered also that Hanna was pledged to
the passage of this bill. 1t was one
of the conditions upon which the svn-
dictates made up the $50. 900. 600 slush
fund for the reelection of Mr.. McKin-
ley to the presidency. Hanna's
pledge to the syndicates is still in
force. 1t must be made good if Hanna
il. to convince the syndicates that his
over is equal to the performance OF
any and every promise which he may
gee fit to make in return for the syn
CHcates' financial backing Senator
c oGkreli is well posted as to the pos.
siI'iIities of congressional action He
sees a certain passage of ship subsi
tdy hill at an early day following tbs
assen Ibling of the Fifty-seventh con
gress. Is will be the duty Of the
Ameri can people to re'ouke such &C
ton at the polls in the congressional
elections of 1902. The rebuke must
| be ADM nistered in the form of over
whelmin 9 defeat of republican candi
dates for congress"

moRGAN's PLAN To LORD IL OVER
THE SEA.

The purchase by the Pierpont Nor
gan interests of the control OF the
Leyland line of steamers is the most
momentous event that has occurred
in the field of world commerce since
the confederate cruisers drove the
American flag from the ocean, 1t
means, says the New York Journal,
nothing less than that American cap
ital is preparing to grasp that sover-
ei0nty of the seas which we seemed
on the point of attaining &c. years
ago.
The Leyland line owns 81 steamers
of 245, 600 tons. The Wilson line,
which belongs to the Leylands, has 81
