FOUR SENATORIAL DEAD
- LOCKS.

The cumbersome, indirect and
wholly unsatisfactory method of
electing United States Senators
has produced, N spite of all deals,
four deadlocks, and none of the
four promise to be broken very
soon. Deals and deadlocks are in
fact the chief fruits Of the present
system. There are more deals than
deadlocks. and it is only when
deals conflict that deadlocks inter-
vene
In Oregon the Republicans con~
troll both branches of the Legisla-
ture, but there are many aspirants,
and no one Cf them has been able
to make deal that will give him
a majority in a joint ballot.
In Montana the Democrats con-
troll the Legislature, and they have
elected Mr.. Clark to one seat for
obvious reasons, but they are un-
able to fi:l the seat now filled by
| Mr.. Carter, whose term expires
March 4. And 80 the balloting
goes on from day to day as it does
in Oregon.
In Nebraska the Republicans
have a narrow majority, and about
a dozen Republicans aspire to
Senatorial seats, and there are
only two seats to be filled. The
deadlock seems to be almost end
less, because the strength of any
aspiraut is far below the needful
vote.
The Delaware deadlock relates
to two seats, also, and it also re.
lates to the remarkable and inev:
table Mr.. Addicks. It is Addickl

Judge Allen presided and the

by Mr.. Craig, who later made a
strong argument in it's support
He was followed py Judge Gra-
ham, Judge Connor and others,
all speaking in favor of the res
port, except Judge Connor, who
discussed both sides of the ques-

adjourned withou. taking vote.
this was done that no hasty ac-
ton might be taken on a matter
of such grave importance.
Another meeting of the com
mittee will be held this afternoon
at 3 o'clock. 1t will not be open
to the public.
Had a vote been taken last
night it would have been in favor
of adoption of the resolution,
according to the opinion of all
the members seen after the meet
ing. Some action will be taken
on the resolution this afternoon.

Justices Douglas and Furches

THAT SUBSIDY BILL.

Inc oOJectlOn to the subsidy
bill pending before Congress
now-the Hanna bill-the in
iquitous features of it are that i,
proposes to give the great bulk
of the subsidy to the fast ships
already plying between New
York and British ports and will
give the actual heavy freight
carrying ships so little that few
/ will care to build them or estab-
lish such lines.
I have just figured out from
the pending Hanna bill the dis
crimination as between a ship
carrying steel or iron or cotton
from Mobile Or Pensacola to a
mediterranean port and one of
the fast ships from New York to
Liverpool, which only carries
high class and high priced
freight, requiring quick passage.
For slow vessels of IL knots
| speed or under the bill offers to
pay each vessel one and one-half
cents per ton for each hundred
miles travelled up to 1900 miles,
and one cent per ton for each ad>
ditional hundred miles travelled
for fast vessels-that is 21 knot
ships of 10, 900 tons capacity-an
additional amount of two and
three-tenth cents per ton per
hundred miles is offered.
Now, let US figure this out, a
twelve knot freighter goes from
| Mobile to a mediterranean port
5000 miles distant with a cargo
! of 10,0 tons of steel rails, coal
and iron. The government pays
| this vessel a bounty Or subsidy
of So, $50 for making the trip.
On the same day 21-knot
ship sails. FROM New York to
Liverpool, 5000 miles distant,
with it's cabin full of passengers
and cargo OF wheat, or cotton
goods, Or fruit, Or anything else.
The government gives this vessel
$40, $50 for the trip. And this
ship may not carry but fifty per
cent of it's carrying capacity of
freight, taking a thousand pas
sengers, and yet get its full sub
sidy of $1O,65O, where's the
freighter being slow, carries no
passengers, getting no revenue
from such, and must therefore
fill itself with freight to make it's
trip profitable.
The bill is unfair and unjust to
this section. The South believes
in encouraging merchant ma.
rine. We need ships to carry
our freight and to get them il
seems the Government must en-.
courage their building or pur.
chase and make it to the interest
of investors to establish lines OF
freight carrying ships; but this
Hanna bill is too top heavy ir
favor Of the fast passenger lines
which we already have. They
, may be entitled to their share
based upon tonnage; and they
, can earn more each year, because
, they can make more trips BY
. virtue of their great. speed; bu
they are not entitled to three
times as much per trip as th'
ship which carries only freight
There's the iniquity of this bill
It should be amended and mad
8 just and fair to all alike. Thel
: let is pass. But the men whs
. are to reap fortunes from it vii
8 naturally combat such amend
8 ments and will force it througl
: in it's present form if possible. =
