Subsidies to the Favored Few.

The provision for paying subsidies to
foreign built ships Is in itself GcftASEr;
TO the avOwed purpose Of the measure.
1t is utterly in conflict with every idea
ever put forward by the advocates Of
subsidies for American shipbuilding.
Nevertheless, il subsidies were given
TO ships bought abroad by any and all
Americans, say, for the next 20 years,
on the sole condition that an equal
number Of ships Of the same kind
should be built in America, it is con.
celvable that this would add consldera.
ably to the number Of ships owned by
Americans and to the number built
here. That IS not what this bill does.
1t gives subsidies only to the ships
built or contracted for prior to the 1st
Of January, 1900. For what reason
such peculiar and valuable privileges
should be directly conferred on any
class we do not know nor have we
seen any rational explanation Of & by
the advocates Of the plan In congress.
1t is easy enough TO understand how it
was proposed 10y the gentlemen who
would reap the profit, but how any re-
sponsible man in public life could al
low himself to be implicated in so
transparent a prostitution Of the pub.
lie authority for private gain passes
our comprehension,
We believe that this feature Of the
bill win produce its defeat. We do not
think that congress viii have the hardi.
hood TO resist the strong public opinion
that has sprung up since the true ma.
ture Of the bill has been made known.
But II the scheme should, by the means
open TO the wealthy corporations inter.
estod I'm It, be pressed through con.
gress, we shall hope that the president
Will veto 1t. II Is shameless attempt
TO pervert the principle OF protection
TO American industry to which he has
lent the force Of his advocacy, and TO
loot the treasury for private interests,
As q true friend to an American mer.
camille marine, he should kill it.-New

EnRland Psvs No snnsIhlca

The advocates oil ship subsidies
in this country have persisteutly
and continuously declared that
Great Britain systematically pays
heavy subsidies Of this character.
There is nothing in the British
estimates, just published, to sus.
tain this contention. That Gov
ernment pays for packet, or mail
service, as we call it, business
prices and no more. The only
subsidies which can be properly
termed such paid by Great Britain
are to telegraphic cable compan
les, through whose service it is
brought into close communication
with its outlying dependencies,
and this is also a purely business
proposition.
Washington sentinel., 1901-01-19
The Intention Not FULFILLED

The ship subsidy bill Is intended, az
cording to the claims OF its advocates
to promote the creation Of an American
merchant marine. built in America,
owned I'm America, manned by Amerl.
cans, and carrying American products.
It VIII not do any Of these things, and
the pretense that IL viii is hollow. A
large proportion of the ships to which
5ubsiGiCs viii 60 under the bill are, as
we have pointed out, to be foreign
built None OF the ships needs be own
ed entirely by Americans. There is no
adequate requirement that even frac-
tiOn Of the crew need be Americans.
BY far the larger part Of the subsidies
will go to ships that do not and cannot
carry any considerable amount OF
freight II Is as absolute and shame
less a piece Of special legislation for
the benefit of a small number Of rich
persons at the expense OF the treasury
and the taxpayers as was ever devised,
and it IS decidedly worse than any
thing that has ever been undertaken by
cOugress.-New York Times.

Cargo and Practically No Farm
Products.
The Fitzgerald minority report from
the house committee on merchant ma.
riue shows cOnclusively that as the
subsidy bill Is drawn 1t cannot be ex.
pected to reduce freight rates on farm
products.
Not only are the rates OF subsidy
twice as high for swift passenger
steamers as for ordinary freighters,
but, as it appears from an examination
of the amounts Of subsidy which would
go to the various steamships and lines,
the passenger ST 1mers, ne least fer the
first few years, would get considerably
more than half Of all the subsidy given,
and yet the passenger steamers do not
carry more than about 10 per cent Of
our total eXports>aEd less than 8 per
cent Of our agricultural exports,
A careful examination Of the mani.
tests Of passenger and freight steamers
makes this statement apparent and
leads to the further conclusion that the
swift passenger steamers carry mainly
a high class Of freight composed
largely Of manufactured goods ex.
ported at prices considerably below
those charged to American consumers.

ANTLREPUBLICANS GIVE
JUDGE HUMPHREYS SEND-OFF

The departure Of Judge Humphreys
for Mississippi. Washington. D. c., and
elsewhere, was made the occasion Of
a send-off by prominent Home Rulers
and other opponents Of the Republican
party The free lunch crowd, ineIud-
ing the men who passed the bailff bill
and got licenses to practice law, were
all on hand. 1t was interesting to
watch Kalauokalani, Naka paaha,
Mossman, Prendergast, Markham and
other notorious Home Rulers and anti
Americans as they gathered about the
political judge and begged him to come
back soon. A V Gear and J. c. Cohen
were also present.
As the China swung away from the
dock Humphreys bailiff, William SUM-
ner Ellis. rushed breathlessly through
the crowd carrying a big bunch of leis.
The Judge seemed to be in waiting for
the floral offerings, for he quickly ex-
tended his hands over the rail- The
bailiff threw the leis and they landed
gracefully over the wrists Of the de-

rels with their distinct styles of voice
and production. Cunha's "Healani
Girl" is a catchy little melody and, as
rendered by Hawkins and the chorus,
caught the fancy of the audience.
Cunha is a host and hostess In him
self. AS Sappho he is genuinely clev-

Everybody in Sappho, down TO the

spirit, and the skft scored a triumph.
Hawkins is a decided acquisition to

very acceptable 10 his hearers.
The Bandmaster's Troubles" was
undoubtedly the hit Of the evening.
As the various types from the Adver-

how faithfully the artists had copied

Let's give three cheers for Hum

cue, threw up his right arm, hat in
hand. and called for three cheers. The
solid nine gave them and looked around
to see why the crowd didn't join in.
1t was very touching. but not what you
might call vociferous.
The Home Rulers attempted to get
up more enthusiasm, but hopelessly
failed. The Judge, however, raised his
hat and stood theatricaIly erect while
the three cheers family rolled out over
the intervening distance between the
dock and the deck of the China.

SHOULD BE PASSED.

It seems hardly conceivable that con-
gress will adjourn without the enact
ment of the Spooner bill. a measure
which has not only the sanction of the
Philippine commission, but for the ear
ly passage of which they have earnest
ly entreated congress. The measure is
as follows:
BE it enacted. etc That when all
insurrection against the sovereignty
and authority of the United States in
the Philippine islands, acquired from
Spain by the treaty concluded at Paris
on the 10th day of December. 1898,
shall have been completely suppressed
by military and naval forces of the
United States, all military, civil and
judicial powers necessary to govern the
said islands shall, until otherwise pro-
vided by congress, be vested in such
person and persons and shall be exer-
cised Ia such manner as the president
of the United States shall direct for
maintaining and protecting the inhab-
itants of said islands in the free en-
couragement of their liberty, property
and religion"
This bill was founded upon the Louis
lana act of 1903, under which President
jefferson received the same authority
which ii is now intended to bestow
upon Mckinley. It's passage would do
much to bring peace and contentment /,
in the Philippines and is the only course |
open to us for the amelioration Of con-
ditions there.
