Two Dozen Pockets.

The New York World is burdenad
with the once-popular notion that Am
erican legislation should be framed to
promote the greatest good of the
greatest numh-r. and never to benefit
the few at the expense Of the mahy.
Having analysed Mr. Hanna's ship
subsidy bill for the purpose OF deter
min!ng how many pockets are to 30
benehted by IT, the World is shocked
ny it., discoveries and declares thar
the bare fact ought 20 make and sena-
tor. even Nr. Hanna. blush to vote for
it, The Worlo has discovered that If
the whole list of SHIPS that are en-
titled 10 the highest subsidy rate fiXel
by the bill nine-tenths are owned by
just four ompanies-to-wit. the In
teInational Navigation company, the
New York and Cuba Mali company.
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
ana the American Mail Steamship
company. Nine-tenths of the smaller
subsidy rates that would be paid on
foreign huilt steamers would also 90
to four concerns only. and these four
are really only two operating under
different names-namelY the Standard
Oil Trust and the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Under the clauses which pro-
vide bounties for ships now building
for foreign trade in American ship
yards and half bOunties for ships
building abroad for American owners
il appears further that less than a
dozen shin-owners and only four ship
builders would be beneficiaries.
This then is what the ship subsidy
bill would do summed in a sentence:

76 000. 900 people $9000,000 year TO

Trial by Jury Denied

The president in his instructions 10
the Philippine commissioners, is care
full tC exclude trial by jury from TIE
blessing conferred upon the nation 5
oriental subjects. The omission is the
more noticeable because the sixth
amendment 10 the constitution Is
quoted entire with the exception OF
the clause guaranteeing trial by an
impartial jury of the state and district
wherein tie crime shall have been
committed which district shall have
been previously ascertained by law. }"
One by one the guards of the
constitution are being abandoned; one
by one the doctrines Of Imperialism are
being adopted. There is not vital
principle Of government, heretofore
considered sacred. which must not
ultimately be abandoned if this nation
continues to tax subjects without rep
resentatiOn and govern them without
the consent of the governed.
