A Jim Dandy Proceeding.

Editor COURIER: Of all the
fool notions that ever took pos
session of deliberative body, the
determination of the Board of
Aldermen to build wooden side
walks in the center of town takes
the cake. Now, if these sidewalks
are to be donated free, gratis and
for nothing to the abutting prop
erty owners-and | understand
this to be the fact, though the
terms of the ordinance or resolu-
tion have never been officially
published then | can nd no
words to ftly characte' Gze tahe
fatuous Stiffness Of the whole pSo-
ceeding. | can only hope that it
is nothing more than an ugly joke;
but, if serious, the silly business
should be enjoined at once, leav-
ing the new Board to pass upon
such important questions next
month. The present Board could
better employ its time in prepar-
ing for publication a report of its
financial transactions, which has
been due several months ago, and
which should be published before
it goes out of office. CITIZEN.

fact that our tariff duties rob him
of so large share of the profits on
the cargoes which he must neces-

eft American ship owners, let them

coastwise skipper carries his car

his profits are eminently satisfac-
tory. Taking a lesson from this,
the majority can materially aid our

ously benefit American consumers
without the expenditure Of one
penny Of the funds in the United

Senator Clay was followed on
Friday by Senator Hanna, who,
with a sledge- hammer style of ora
tory, reiterated all the Republican
sophistries in regard to protection,
and claimed that because in the
past it had been the policy of the
government to build up hot-house
industries there must be no devia-
tion from that policy. The debate
on this bill will continue until the
18th instant, when q vote will be
taken. Senator Vest will address
the Senate ON the subject soon, if
his health will permit.
The bill reported by the Senate
Committee on Judiciary for the pro
lection of the President has also
received some consideration. 1t is
Opposed by many of the Democratic
members on the ground that it is
contrary to the constitution in that
it is an extension of the law against
treason and d violation of the rights
of the sovereign States.
The Republicans are as badly
divided as ever on the subject o
Cuban reciprocity, and there seems
| little likelihood of any immediate
settlement Of the question. Th'
President has made public d state
ment to the effect that he has no
lchanged his position in the slight

are doing his bidding to the best @
their ability, but the revolt, led b.
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, appear
to be gaining rather than losin
strength, and there is growing

tariff revision. 1t is conhdentl

Tho Local Paper.

No man is too poor to takes his

get along without it.
Hardly a week passes that
something does not appear in it's
columns that will be a financial
benefit to the subscriber, and by
the end of the year he has made

The city papers do not take
the place of the country paper,
although some people seem to
think they do. The city papers
are all right in their way, but
they don't give you what you are
most interested in-your country
news.
You cannot learn from them
when and where the public meet
ings are to be held, who are dying
or who are marrying, who are NOV
lug in or who are moving out,
court proceedings, who wants to
sell land-in fact, hundreds of
items which might be of
particular Importance for you to
know.
Such matters city papers cam
not furnish, but the country
newspaper can and does. If you
can afford but one paper, by all
means take one that is published
in the county in which you live.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1902.
On Wednesday and Thursday of
last week Senator Alex. S. Clay, of
Georgia, presented in an able and
comprehensive manner the Demo
cratic attitude toward the Ship
Subsidy bill, but the length of his
speech precludes the possibility of
giving even an epitome i'll this let
ter. At my request, however, SEN
ator Clay consented to make the
following brief statement for your
readers:
"My opposition to the measure,
in which [ am supported by the en-
tire Democratic minority of the
Committee on Commerce, is based
on the fact that it will increase the
expense of transporting the foreign
mails from S1,SOO,O00 to upwards
of $3,0OO,O0O without securing to
the government any adequate re-
turn. desire to see the mail SER
vice of the United States as perfect
as that of any country in the world,
but this bill does not provide for
the establishment of a single new
route, nor for the construction of q
single new ship. By the provisions
of the bill this greatly increased
sum will be paid to the owners of
ships already in commission and
sailing over routes now established.
elf there is need of Increased fa-
cilities for transporting the mails,
why has not the Postmaster Gen
eral been called before the commit
tee as an expert witness to indicate
in what direction the increased
funds may be best expended?
GAS to the simple subsidy pro
vision of the bill, there is no neces
sity for such legislation. Our ship
ping trade IS constantly increasing
We retain, by statute, all of the
coastwise trade for our vessels, ano
as in the past that has been the
most profitable, it has absorbed
every increase in American ship
ping, but there are now ample YES
sells engaged in it, and the atten
ton of American ship owners il
naturally turning to the foreign
trade. Our ship yards have orders
! exceeding their utmost capacity
Our vast mineral resources, our i'm
proved methods of production, ant
! the superior productivity Of th
American laborer and artisan com
bined, more than counterbalanc
a any difference there may exist be
y tween American and foreign wages
and without this unnecessary. an
extravagant legislation the Amer
? lean shipping industry will, in th
2 near future, lead the world i'll il
Geld as do American industries i
other lines.
Y "There is one important poin
however, which should not be lo'
sight of. The most serious detl
k ment with which the America
ship owner has to contend is I'll
