THE SUBSIDY OUTLOOK.
Probability of the Promoters Log.
Rolling Their Scheme Through
Congress.

1t is reported from Washington that,
in spite of the fact that the new sub
sidy bill has been framed with the view
of attracting support that failed to
rally to the original bill, the project
has won little or no additional favor
and can count on very few strong ad-
vocates. Those who were the most
earnest and vigorous in opposition to
the former bill are nearly or quite all
as strongly opposed to the new bill,
ndthose who were simply cold toward
the scheme at the last session occupy
the same attitude to-day, convinced,
they are said to be, that not q single
promise of the subsidy promoters is
to be relied on. Comparatively few
republican members care to talk about
the bill, and from such knowledge OF
the situation as can be obtained, it is
regarded as unlikely that it will pass
on its merits OF popularity, says the
Binghamton IN. W Leader.
It was, however, intimated some
time ago that the subsidy promoters
might succeed in logrolling their
scheme through congress, or insure its
success by making the security OF
other legislative interests depend upon
the fate of the subsidy bill. Such tao
tics as this would, of course, be q sug.
gestive indication of the concern OF
the subsidy people for the public wei
fare, which they pretend would be sub
served by the success Of their scheme
Nobody will, however, be surprised al
anything the advocates of this meas
ure may do to secure its passage, fol
nobody can be in doubt that the sole
| purpose of those who are behind it i:
to tap the treasury. Overwhelming de
feat is the fate the bill deserves, bu
it may not get it's deserts.

The surplus that the farm produces
is the measure of its profit after meet
ing its expenditures for labor, taxes,
and interest on the investment. The
nutriment in atom Of hay or a bushel
of grain is not increased by adding to
its price. If the farmer to winter his
stock is compelled to use his entire
food supply for their feed, it makes
no difference to him in dollars and
cents whether it is one price or anoth.
er, unless the price Of the winter fed
animal has advanced correspondingly
with the advance in the cost of its
food. The farmer without domestic
animals to consume his crop of hay
and grain is the the one who realizes
the profit from short crop and the
consequent advance in its price. The
one with surplus of domestic ami
mails and short supply of food pays
the profit the other makes from the
sale of his hay and grain.

he might be called as witness. With
a winning smile he consented and the
official copied it down:

I'm reminded of this incident by the
latest social furry in Washington,
where ladies of official families are
now printing their visiting cards with
out their husbands titles.
The new fashion is right. For years
people have poked fun at the woman
who describes herself as "Mrs. First
Assistant Deputy Commissioner
Smith" but now that the card reads
simply sMrs. Smith" without even an
address, how is the recipient to know
whether the lady who leaves it is the
wife of the F. A. D. C. aforesaid, or
congressman's wife from Maine2
The custom arose from too slavish
following Of precedent. "Mrs. Roose-
velt, Mrs. Fuller" and MRS. Hender.
son." the wives of the president, the
chief justice and the speaker of the
house, have by custom no other words
upon their cards. When "Mrs. Dewey
and Mrs. Miles" follow the precedent
there is no danger of confusion, but
when everybody follows suit trouble
ensues.

THE INTEREST OF HANNA.
Foxy Move of the Deeadent Ross to
GAN the Good Wal. Gi stie
People.

Senator Hanna has assumed new
role in the interview which he gave
out prior to his departure for the con-
ference of the American Civic fedora
ton. The chairman of the republican
national committee as social reform
err, pure and simple, is character to
which the public has not accustomed
itself, says the ST. Louis Republic.
For Chairman Hanna has never been
known as philanthropist. In his in
teresting statement regarding his part
in former strikes and their settlement
one fact stands out clear and distinct.
His appearance in labor troubles has
always been coincident with pend
ing political campaign where his
friends were arrayed against the labor
organizations.
In the present instance there are
reasons why he cannot lose money or
prestige among the trusts by advocat-
ing mutual disarmament in the in
dustrial world
Yet that such a conference as the
recent one in New York should be mat de
Uut tOOl VI pOlAOlSoA - ~
be regretted by all true friends of the
American Civic federation. If Hanna
is using the conference as stepping
stone to the republican nomination for
the presidency in 1904, or if he expects
to beat Foraker in Ohio by proclaiming
himself as a social Moses, he is a
trickster in either case.
If Senator Hanna intended his inter.
view strictly for Ohio consumption
he has missed his mark. His agility
in stepping to the breach in labor
troubles only when his own ends may
be served is too well known. A little
more disinterestedness on the part Of
the aspiring republican politician
might after many years change the
public estimate of his character, but {
few DAYS is a time too short.

-Cartoonists give Mark Hanna
mighty little hair as it is, but Foraker
seems determined to get scalp lock

President Mckinley has departed from

THE president is positive in the
opinion that there should be no gen.
eral revision of the tariff. He adopts
the fallacy that business panics are
created by tariff revisions, and has
that to say as regards the tariff being
framed in the interests of labor which
is more appropriate in partisan ap-
peals than in presidential document.
