The communication from the COM
missionars of inland fish and game,
published in another column, nails
most effectively the misinformation
which has been spread concerning the
purchase of little plot of land as a
feeding station to supplement the valu-
able work of the Monmouth hatchery,
1t is very unfortunate that SO many
persons, for partisan and personal
reasons. take delight in misrepresent-
ing and misconstruing the work of the
commissioners. They are doing Il
great work for the State of Maine and
doing it honestly and faithfully.
They are not sacred from criticism any
more than are otherpublic servants, but
those making such criticism should
cultivate the spirit of fairness and
make little study of the great ma
terial benefit which Maine has reaped.
and is continuing to reap in increas-
ing measure. as the result of their
labOrs.

some severe losses in the prices OF stocks

movement; beyond those of a technical
nature. The bears were the active factor
IN breaHns prices but the spectators
long OF stocks stood passive without any
resistance in the shape Of buying TO sup
port the market. The consequence was
that on each successive raid by the bears
stop loss orders We're uncovered and spec

brokers to sell out their customers tn

large selling also through commits sion

The Cost Not Great.

1t is never well to belittle the dan
loss of life that it involves. But when
we remember some of the wild prophe-
cies that were made as to the effect of
the climate and the Tagal bullets on
our boys going to the Philippines. and
compare them with the actual results
now that there is peace in the archi-
pelago and the volunteers have all re-
turned home, a gratifying and i'm
pressive difference is shown. We re-
call that one Boston paper solemnly as
sured the American troops going to the
Philippines that not one-half of them
would ever return alive. Time has
made that prophecy as ludicrous as it
was doleful
During the height of the insurrec-
ton this government had as many as
10000 officers and men in the Philip
pines. The official figures of the adju-
tant generals office to June l. 1901.
from all causes was in the regular SER

in the volunteer service 80 officers and

Net Built ior Foreign Trade.

There must be some awful mistake in
the figures of the Bureau of Naviga-
tion reporting American shipbuilding
for the fiscal year ending June so, 1901.
What's this-l,l.S vessels built of 40l,-
900 gross tons? a total tonnage sur
passed only twice in our whole histo-
ry? Why. this cannot be. 1t has been
proven, again and again, that ships
without a subsidy; so how extremely
impudent in the commissioner of navi-
cation TO declare that they are being
built in greater numbers than for
many years. This is very near giving
Hanna the lie direct. and we think
that the commissioner should be re-
moved at once. Certainly the good of
the service would seem to require
such a step, or else the violent shut
ting-up of the shipyards whose owners
are insolent enough to build ships
after Frye had conclusively demon
strated to them that they could not do
it. Anyhow, it is d comfort to know
that the subsidy bill will be pushed
next winter. Depew has said that he
will ignore the ships and the facts,
and declare again that all our yards
will rot and our flag disappear from
the ocean unless subsidies be granted.
The greater the number of ships built
without subsidy. the more powerful
the argument for the subsidy. But,
really. the figures ought to be sup
pressed.-New York Post.
For wilful distortion and miscon-
struction of the facts it would be diff
cult to find anything surprising the
above which is taken from the most
"conserN atiye" and reliable" organ
of mugwampry. The 1l7S vessels
built in American shipyards during the
fiscal year just closed, are practically
all intended for domestic trade in the
coasting and the lake service. This
branch of our commerce is protected
to the limit since foreign vessels are
not allowed to engage in it. In these
prosperous times this trade has great
ly increased and it has been further
stimulated by the acquisition of
activity in our shipyards during the
year and the activity that promises to
continue in them is caused by the de-
mand for more vessels in our domestic
commerce. not because ships for the
foreign trade are being built and
launched. 1t has never been argued
that a subsidy is necessary for the
building up OF our domestic COM
is carried on under foreign flags and
will continue to be until the American
ship is given that protection by our
government which is pleaded for by its
friends. The sarcasm of the Post is
not an argument. The hope of the
restoration of our flag 70 the high seas
lies in the pending subsidy bill or
some similar measure. When such
a bill is law. then will for
eign ships lose what is now a practi-
cal monopoly of American foreign
trade, and then will American snp-
yards teen with double and quadruple
the activity which they now know.
The enemies of the American ship are
energetic and unscrupulous, but they
will not long continue to enjoy their
triumph.
