~ official admission that no
SIS than 80, 900" cases oil Ieprosy
arc on record in the Philippine
Islands will be, as the War De.
partment anticipated, a startling
piece OF information to the people
OF the United States. Il is doubt
less the most pitiable and loath-
some afliction that is visited upon
the human race, and still worse is
the fact that TO date medical sci
ence has discovered 10 remedy
either to alleviate materially its
accompanying distress or to actu-
ally prevent its spread. The situ-
alton, therefore, is much graver
than that which the Americans
we're forced to lace in Cuba when
yellow fever made its appearance
in the ranks Of the army. Dread
as is this scourge, it is still subject
TO cure and ultimate control. But
the curse OF leprosy remains an
unrestrained agency OF death, by
slow but sure stages.
The admission that "at least"
$4,000 cases are on record is ac-
companied by the statement that
many of the victims have isolated
themselves, so that it is lmpossi-
BILE to secure an absolutely ac.
curate census Of the eases in the

been left to thrive, its victims
mingling with the ignorant people
and communicating its contagion
through both open and insidious
means.
How small a part OF the actual
number OF lepers has been d-scov-
cred can be but conjectured, but
it is probable that a systematic
search will reveal a most serious
condition ol affairs, The estab-
lishment of an island colony Tor

But that will not be the light and

for this position. He says that
unfair competition works greater
hardships to the smaller brewer
than a high tax, and supports his
contention by ins.ancing as an il
lustration OF these so-called unfair
methods the practice Of securing
eligible locations for the business
by the larger brewers. Mr.. S-hantz

! @.'A9 ~AAAAbA lOl sup SUBSIDY
is a fair sample OF what may be
expected from corporate interests
which have once tasted the advan-
tages Of Governmental interference
in their behalf; for there is virtu-
ally no other industry which at
present receives greater benefits
from the Government. In addition
to the free raw materials (even If
those were necessary, which they
are noO, our navigation laws pro-
hibit the registry by Americans OF
foreign built ships. They abso-
lutely prohibit foreign vessels from
engaging in the enormous Amer.
lean Coastwise commerce-and
this is a provision which has no
counterpart in British law, All
naval vessels are built at home in
time Of peace, and under the ex-
listing postal subsidy, the United
States pays almost twice as much
subsidy per ton on its seagoing
steam tonnage as Great Britain.
Attention has been directed
more than once to the fact that
this bill gives the largest subsidies
to the fast sailing passenger ships
which carry little freight, although
the pretense is made that it is a bill
to promote the export trade. The
New York Press, a pretty sound
Republican paper, has at last taken
notice Of this fact, and advises the
friends { the bill to drop this feat.
ure Of Ind make it what it pur-
ports to be, a bill to promote COM
mtrce rather than excursion
parties to Europe, In order to
save the bill, that paper urges Sen.
ator Hanna to "set the American

sentiment by reprinting it in a con-
spicuous place Many others pro-
test against legislation whose de-
sign or tendency is to furnish

their clothes.
Among the humbugs that have
been exposed in the course OF the
controversy on this subsidy meas
ure is the pretence that the bill! is
needed to promote 5hip-building
in American yards. ANY artificial
stimulus IS quite unnecessary,
since the shiPyards have more or
~ hand than they can exc
cute. In confirmation Of this fact,
we may point 20 the testimony
given before the Industrial C>m-
mission on the arst OF December
by Mr.. Charles H. Cramp, who
said:
The shipvards in either America or
England cannot build ships enough to
supply the demand.
This interesting fact was stated
bY Mr.. Cramp as one Of the reas-
ons why he favored the Subsidy
bill We cannot commend the
logic of his statement to the Com
mission, but we are sure that he
speaks knowingly Of the rush Of
orders for new ships and the i'm
possibility OF filling all OF them.
Whateyer may be the case with
those who navigate American
ships, the men who build them are
not the fit subjects OF aims.
