made solemn inquest as to how or why
the crow family had increased so rap
idly and matured so early in the season.
And the committee found and reported
that the aforesaid boys had robbed the
nests of the aforesaid crows and Matched
out the eggs under the domestic hen.
Thus that subsidy made little rascals,
like some promoters, out of guileless
youth, wasted the hens time, and
swindled the general public. Ever
since that time The Conservative has
suspected subsidies in general, whether
concealed under the euphemistic phrase
of "a tariff for protection" "a tax on
oleomargarine," or "a subsidy to es-
tablish an American Merchant Marine"
Most subsidies make rascals of some
body, deceive everybody and really
benefit nobody.

line of American steamships which
shall carry commodities and passen-
gers across the Atlantic ocean suggests
several questions.
Do not the navigation laws of the
United States prevent the sailing of a
foreign built ship under the Stars and
Stripes?
Does not the existing Dingley tariff
put duty of from forty per cent. to
one hundred and twenty per cent. upon
many or all of the woods, iron, steel,
cordage, etc., which enter into the con-
struction of ship?
Do not the diabolism of the exclusive
navigation law and the protective tariff
make it impossible to have by purchase,
or to construct, for competition on the
high seas, an American Merchant
Marine; and if both those restrictive
laws were mitigated by amendment or
entirely repealed would there be any
need for or pretense even for the need
of ship subsidy?
At an early day here in Nebraska, in
1855, the first crop of corn was planted
in the newly broken
Crows. prairie. It came
up beautifully un-
der the forcing of sunshine, rain and
this marvelously fertile soil. 1t was
the first time in their black and glossy
lives that the trans-Missouri crows had
ever had civilized man set table for
them to eat from. The cav cav cav!
of ravenous rejoicing resounded all over
the few acres of corn as it came, dark,
green, and lusciously attractive to the
crow palate, from this new and untried
land. The black gourmands began de-
vouring the young plants with an ap-
petite for sprouting corn only equaled
by the Kentucky taste for the
juice of old corn. The few
planters in the county of Otoe,
Nebraska agreed that the only way to
get rid of the crows aforesaid and save
the corn:crop was to ''subsidize" all the
boys in the settlement to shoot crows.
Thus bounty of five cents was offered
in the vicinity of Nebraska City for
each scalp of crow delivered at the
log court house on or before November
1, 1866. By that date the shooting
youth of this frontier settlement had
deposited one hundred and ninety three
scalps as aforesaid provided and been
paid therefor five cents apiece. The
corn crop was saved The people re-
joiced, for each man who paid had pos

summer the same boys proposed re-

terms. Their proposition was gladly
accepted. But by September 25th the

vigorous competitor in the markets of
the United States. They scratched
their scalps for way to down compe
tition in the smearing- of bread business.
They invented legislation under false
pretenses. At a time-in Grover Cleve-
lands first administration-whe the
national treasury contained a surplus of
more than two hundred millions of
dollars, and when the inflow of revenue
was like a torrent, the butter patriots
secured the first anti-oleomargarin
legislation upon the pretext of getting
revenue and so put the first tax upon
the only butter substitute in the market.
1t was obtaining enactment under a
false pretence and as much a crime
morally as getting goods or money in
that way. The precedent pleaded was the
ten per cent tax on the issue of bills to
circulate as currency by State Banks.
That burden on state banks of issue
destroyed all of them and left the cur
rency field perfect monopoly as to
paper currency-other than that issued
by the general government-in the
hands of the National Banks. Thus
the statement of Chief Justice John
Marshall that "the power to tax is the
power to destroy" was demonstrated.

THE JURY DISCHARGED.
After 1t Had Tried for Hours to
Agree About Mayne's Guilt.

After struggling with the evidence
Mayne. a negro who was charged with
assault with intent to murder, for
nearly eight hours yesterday, a jury in
the Superior Court had to acknowledge
that it was too much for them and
that they had not been able to agree.
A mistrial was declared by Judge Fall
ligant.
Mayne, according to the evidence of
the states witnesses, had a row with
Peter Panslodino a Greek fruit dealer
on the Eastside. and. carved Peter up
distressingly with razor. There was
no provocation for the assault, accord
ing to the evidence, and nobody was
trying to hurt Mayne when he drew
his razor and started to work.
The defense was mistaken identity.
Mayne said that he was not on hand
when the assault upon the Greek was
committed and knew nothing whatever
about any trouble that had occurred.
In addition to this he introduced his
character in evidence and it did appear
to be good. The defendant was repre-
scented by Mr. w. H. Boyd.
The evidence was altogether conflict
ing and the jury found it impossible to
reconcile it, AS the Jurors were divid-
ed about the matter and gave every in
dication of remaining so, Judge Falli-
CANT, when he adjourned court for the
day, withdrew the foreman and de-
clared a mistrial. The jurors. who had
been facing the prospect of a night
spent at the court house, breathed a
sigh of profound relief and wendell
their several ways homeward.
