Face with Bankruptcy.
Galveston, Texas. may rightly be term
ed the city Of misfortunes. The heavy
hand of af1liction which descended upon
it with such frightfu force Sept s, 1900,
when a tidal wave swept over the city,
cngUlhng thousands Of people and caus-
ing a catastrophe at which the American
people and the world in general stood APP
palled, still bears with crushing force
upon its almost helpless victim. \ Sc
ries of adverse conditions has all but
rendered extinct the ambitions and hopes
of those who survived the staggering
blow of that memorable day in 1900 and
now the future of the city is in grave
doubt The matter of the city's future
welfare rests with few men in New
York, who have the power to say wheth-
er it shall be declared bankrupt or. with
its burdens lightened, be permitted to
work out its own salvation. These men
hold the bonds which represent the atys
debt, and so far they have insisted on
receiving every cent of interest from the
taxpayers, Notwithstanding the fact that
in the terrible storm one-third of he tax
able property was lost and the value of
the remainiag two-thirds was greatly de-
preciated.
The gross municipal debt of Galveston
is 100000 and S1,000,000 has Teen
absorbed in the sinking fund. leaving &c.,
100000 net outstanding The city re-
quests that the bondholders readjust the
debt on IA basis Of three and a half per
cent, the present rate, which was made
when the city was prosperous and its flu
ture appeared bright The concession
asked by the city would affect the bond
holders to the amount of $52,50O, a year
in interest, but it would mean the saliva
ton of the city. Negotiations are now
under way and within the next few
weeks a committee from Galveston will
meet the bondholders in New York and
endeavor to perfect a plan which will
save the city from having added to its
burden the blot of bankruptcy.

Why Not a Potato Subsidy.

The subsidy builders at Washington
are so busy planning their raid on the
national treasury that they have neg
lected an opportunity to protect the
farmers of this country.
England's cheap ships are the buGa-
boo with which the subsidy folks are
trying to scare the congressman into
line.
What about cheap potatoes?
They are coming into this country by
the ship load They are carried in
England's cheap ships. grown by Eng
lands cheap labor, and landed in New
York for Ito a barrel
There is a tariff on the tubers. Every
bushel has to stand and deliver to the
tune of % cents. but that doesn't keep
them out. They are comparatively
cheap, and mighty good. In fact. these
pauper potatoes suit New Workers. as
we'll as the Ohio Burbank or the Early
Rose of Michigan.
But they keep down the price of po-
tatoes.
And if there is nc money in the po-
tato business-if the low-prlced pota-
toes of England and Ireland are to
flood the markets. who is to raise po-
tatoes in this country in future. Is
there remedy?
A potato subsidy!
The idea isn't bit more ridiculous
than the ship scheme. In fact, it has
merit that the boat-plundering job
never possessed. for it would put money
into the pockets of those who really
need it. and who deserve all the good
things they can get, if there is TO be
a melon cutting at government ex-
pense.
How would it do to add potato sab
sidy rider to the ship subsidy bill and
then let America laugh both useless
measures out of eXistence?-W Working
