Not Much of a Donation.

Mr.. Frye, in his speech in the senate
on Monday, said his ship subsidy bill
"did not present very serious propo-
sition to the senate, which would au-
thorize in five minute the construction
of battleship costing 81, 900, OCO, and
pass river and harbor bill carrying
800, 600, 900 in few hours or days"
Just SO! II, after figuring" plan
ming and cogitating two years on bill
to improve rivers and harbors, congress
passes it in few days or hours, surely
the same congress would not be so
mean as to refuse gift of 80, 600, 900
yearly to the benevolent gentlemen
who sail American ships! If we appro-
pirate 800, 100000 to the creation of
great national works of necessity and
convenience, we ought not withhold
the mere pittance of $4,000, 900 year
to combination of fine and promising
patriots, who propose to carry our ex-
ports and imports and mails cat the
usual rates" for such service! If we
build navy for national defense, we
will, of course, build a merchant ma
rine for the enrichment Of Mr.. Girls
CONS company and the other aquatic
pets Of Mr.. Frye. Mr.. Elkins, Mr.. Han
ma and the rest of that company of phi
lanthropists.
This is precisely what the senator's
argument comes to. He has not made
a pretense of showing that our foreign
trade will be carried for one penny less
per ton, under his subsidy regime, than
it is now. He has shown no benefits
whatever to come to the export and i'm.
port merchants, or to the body OF Amer
can consumers. All the fish in that
net are to be fried for the delectation
of companies similar to the one headed
by the modest Mr.. Griscom, who has
been q most persistent lobbyist for the
ship subsidy grab.
The country will want better reason
than you have given, Mr.. Frye, fol
your plea that gross sum Of 5000, 900,
600 shall be taken from the treasury anG
beloved on ring or combine of ship
ping corporations. That is what your
bill means, when stripped of some
plausible pretenses, and you can make
nothing else out of it.-Chattanoogi

When President Roosevelt ordered
the Encouragement to look into the
question of the railroad merger Hanna
turned in a general alarm to the trusts
and syndicates. Morgan came to
Washington as fast as a train could
bring him and went to the white house
to see what Roosevelt meant. If there
is any proof lacking that the leading
men of the republican party in the low
er house and senate are in sympathy
with the syndicates and trusts this
should be ample. If democracy could
postpone all its family quarrelS and 60
to the country on these issues the re-
publican party would be swept from
power. Commercial-Appeal.

Now for the Ship Subsidy Steal.

The republican party has, ever since
1896. given pledges to the PEOPLE en-
gagged in the shipping business that it
would pass in their interest ship sub.
sidy bill. The millionaire ship-ownerG
are now demanding the redemption of
that pledge. II does not require any
long-winded explanation to get at the
essence of this swindle Boiled down
the proposition is this: The govern
ment is to dig its hands down into the
peoples money and hand what sticks
over to the millionaire ship-owners as a
reward for their being in the shipping
business, This is nothing more or less
than grand larceny. 1t is an open and
premeditated robbery of the people for
the benefit OF the millionaires engaged
in particular business. The protec-
tive tariff is form of theft also, but
being indirect, it is not go observable.
But is this ship subsidy steal the Of
Tense is simply unspeakable. The mo-
ney that flows into the United States
treasury comes from the people. The
government is the custodian of that
money. Frye and Hanna propose that
the custodian shall turn robber, and
after it has stolen so many millions per
year that it shall act as "fence" and
deliver the stolen goods over to the
people engaged in particular business.
There is no more reason why the peo-
pies money should be given to ship
owners than to cotton planters, lawyers,
carpenters, newspaper men, actors,
merchants or preachers. 1t is vel
known fact that ministers of the gospe
are undergrad; and oil will admit thai
religion is necessary to the welfare o.
the nation. 1t would, therefore, b.
much more reasonable for the govern
ment to increase the salaries of thu
preachers in order to induce them Il
remain in the ministry than to hir,
men already rich to be the owners o
ships. 1t is said, however, that tn,
agents Of the shipping interest who il
polite language are also called con
gressmen, will endeavor to whip tn
steal through. If the president is al
honest man he will veto the bill, bu
We must say We think the chances of it
being vetoed are exceedingly small

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud Of them. Not only the King 3
household, butyours, ours, everybody .
should have its life guards. The need
Of them is especially great when the
greatest foes fife, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, infuen-
70, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do
in the stormy month Of March, The
best way we know Of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys-
tenn with Hoods Sarsaparilla = the
greatest of all life guards. 1t removes
the conditions in which these diseases
make their most successful attack, gives
vigor and tone to all the vital organs
and functions, and imparts q genial
warmth to the blood. Remember the
weaker the system the greater the ex-
posture to disease. Hoods Sarspari lila
makes the system strong.

men rendered temporarily idle, to
check the progress of that dreaded con-
tagion. | am glad to note that the
mining centers have this year made
their escape, so far, and as the warm
days of spring come there are no fears
of that disease. The state board OF
health has guarded against the disease
so closely that / believe it has been
completely stamped out, never to return
unless it is imported to this state from
some other section. The scientific me-
thods of the officials who guard the
public health are worthy of commenda-
ton, as this is the first time in years
that it can be said that the disease has
failed to menace the mineral develop
ing class Of our population. If all the
states will look into the subject as has
been done by the Tennessee officials
that dreaded disease would soon be for

Next House Democratic.

Washington, March 1O.-If the dem
ocrats do not dominate the next house
of representatives the fault will lie en-
tirely within the household. AT time
when the country is ripe and overripe
for change in the popular branch OF
congress, when the more astute politi-
clans ON the outside are watching with
intense interest the game being played
on the political checkerboard in the
halls of legislation, the republicans are
daily making capital for the good of de-
mocracy, and some democrats, promi-
nent, if not recognized leaders, seem
ready to hand it back to them. 1t re-
quires only casual notice OF the daily
proceedings to confirm this statement.
1t is disappointing and shameful fact
that some gentlemen sent here by dem
cratic constituencies actually stand in
their places and advocate republican
political legislation, and, being ques-
! toned by their colleagues, admit on
the floor of the house that they are re-
cipients of strong departmental favors.
For instance, last Monday, when speak
ing against the bill to take rural deliv-
cry carriers out of politics and put that
service under the contract system, Hon.
Claude Swanson, late candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor Of
Virginia, stated that he had secured
the appointment Of thirty or forty car
riers in his district, and that his private
secretary has been appointed member
of the examining board in the depart
ment here. The facts appear in the
debate, and are legitimate for comment.
Mr.. Swanson is the ranking democrat
on the postoffice committee. His atti-
tude is of his own making, and if il
hurt him only would be of NO conse'
quence. But it is one Of several cases
that are hurting democracy by weaken
ing its power and compromising its ad'
vantages. 1t is lamentable that when
there are vulnerable republican points
to attack, democrats can be found
standing for their defense, and this il
the pith of much of the party trouble
When the scroll is unrolled and the re-
cord made plain the people will b.
amazed, and yet democratic newspaper
will be found ready to apologize fol
and explain it all away and this to ad
ded party detriment. Control of thu
next house of representatives is Of ut
most consideration. The republican,
ere nervous and uncertain about mucl
that they are doing, but when the,
find ready defenders in the minorit,
party they are strengthened and mad
holder, while democracy loses wha
might have become gain.

they lose the house next fall, the

house will be enhanced, in fact almost
certainty. Even the Washington

look to be favorable to democracy, and

turn the scale that year. Now is the
time for democratic unity and wisdom.
