that can be made or repaired on the

These are elementary facts which the

Jones and the Railroad Men.


Tho frank and candid statement OF the
Locomotive Firemen' Magazine,
the organ of the railroad trainmen
organization, regarding the legislative
attitute of Senator Jones places him IN
a most favorable light. The organ re-
ferred to saws Senator Jones has, with
one exception, always favored legisla,
tion promoted by railroad employees ana
In that one exception, which occurred
fourteen years ago, his opposition arose
not from unfriendliness to the railroad
men nor from preference to railway
corporate interests, but from a belief
that the safety appliance law would az
that time, have practically contiscate,d
the great majority of the existing rail-
road lines.
This statement robs the Clarke-Davis
forces of another one Of their supposedly
strongest points. .

azine says:

Ship Subsidy Steal.
From the Fort Smith Times.

From the Fort smith Times.
In yesterday issue Of 1.-The Times
appeared, reprinted from the Manu-.
facturer Record Of Baltimore, Sena.
tor Mark Hanna s argument for the
establishment of ship building yards
and plants on the gulf coast, All he
says about the wonderful development
of the South and the need of outlets and
home markets for iron, coal, timber,
etc, is very complimentary aud inspir-
ing, of course, but behind all he says
stalks the spectre of the ship subsidy
scheme which is now under considera-
ton by congress. Undoubtedly the
astute senator from Ohio Is throwing
I out bait to Southern congressman to
win them from their righteous opposi-
ton to his pet graft.
The ship building industry Of the
country needs no government bonus,
1t has hourished before without such
pampering and II can do 50 again. In
deed we can build the finest ships that
float today and men will engage in the
business so long rs they find profit In
| II.
The trouble with these ship subsidy
advocates Is that they are already enor-
mousIy enriched through the operation
Of the high protective tariff on every
thing that enters into ship building, and
instead Of permitting that source Of
revenue to be taken from them, which
would result In great influx of cheap
ship building products and thereby give
ship building greater impetus, they
want TO continue to bleed the people
through the high tariff leech and ask
the government to pay them Handsomely
In addition to engage IN a profitable en-.
terprise. 1t il just ~ IL II band Of rob.
bers, In addition to plundering the
people, should ask the people to pay
them handsomely for turning the fruits
of their brigandage to profitable ac'

theory that the government IL machine
to be operated for the benefit Of u
favored few ut the expense Of the un.
favored many, the better 1t will DO for
all.

the South will not be won away from

known to those familiar with the South
ern negro and his butting abilities, but
it is the first time it has received judi
cial recognition. The owner of the head
in question was known as "Buttin

death and threatened to butt another
man, who shot him dead, and, when
arrested for killing the negro, he plead

gro was about to assault him with a
