SUBSIDIES.
Discussed by Sir Robert Giffen,
Statistical Expert

London, June e.-Sir Robert Giffen, the
former president Of the Statistical 90
ciety and former chief OF the statistical
department of the board of trade. tesu-
flying before the house of commons COM
mittee ON steamship subsidies, said the
changes In the position OF British ship
ping compared with those OF other coun-
tries was due largely 10 circumstances
apart from subsidizauons.
There had been a diminution Of British
progress, while elsewhere, especially In
Germany, there had been a great advance.
The number OF American owned ships
sailing under the British flag. quite apart
from those with the combine recently
formed, had largely increased and was
still increasing, and he regarded II as OBJ
vjous that Notwithstanding tho fact that
the White Star line steamers were sail
ing under the British flag the United
States government regards them as be-
ing American vessels, and would be pre-
pared TO defend them as the property OF
American citizens.
Sir Robert also said ne regarded sub
sidies to be a political rather than an
economic question.

To THE PUBLIC!

The Providence Central Trades and Labor Union,
having endorsed the strike of the Motormen and Con.
ductors against the United Traction Company, we urge
the public to refrain from patronizing the cars OF said
Company for few days, as we believe their demands
are just and fair The General Assembly having
passed the Ten.fiour Law, we believe said Company
should respect the same.

the fathers estate to q home for invalids.
There is nothing surprising in the development.
Amy millionaire who essays to make au irOnclad
viii for charity should know that the time to give
away money lie while living. Many Of them have
learned the lesson.
Though it is said that Mr.. StrattOn spent much
during the latter part Of his picturesque life in
phllanthrOpic generOsities, the millions which he
left for disposal after his death viii be tied up
by the contest of his son, whom he had seen only
three four times during the past fifteen years. 1t
is rumOred that the attorneys will receive fee OF
81, ,OO0, 900 ii they break the will Already court
scandal in the appointment OF administrators has
come to surface.
All this could have been saved if Mr. StrattOn
had personally superinteuded the disposition OF his
property. Like Andrew Carnegie, he gOuld have
enjoyed life great deal more. For il it be in a
mans heart to do good he displays shortsighted-
ness in missing the pleasure derived from personal
observation Of plans and results.
AS for the contest which has been begun in the
COURTS to public is against the son. More and more
is the belief that every man should be the arbter
of his own fortune. Young Stratton would display
sense if he would take the $4,000 which his father
left to him and increase it by thrift The poor and
sick whom his father wished to help can make
much more out Of the bequest than the heir

| PV|-9- mOnWealUns. Maine and Vermont
have voted already this year on this seemingly
interminable issue, and New Hampshire is to vote
on il next month";
The prohbitlonists lost several sheriis in Maine
and had still more decided reverses in Vermont,
where, for the first time in many years, the Repub-
liCan candidate for governor failed to receive a
majority, and the election will have to go to the
legislature.
The license party has gained greatly in Vermont
in the last few years. and counts confidently on car
Tying the state at the next election.
The campaign now going on in New Hampshire
is Of the most animated IN the history of that
state, and the result is conceded to be doubtful.
Prohibition is laxly enforced in both Maine and
Vermont, but is notorious burlesque in New
Hampshire.
In the cities of that state intoxicating liquors are
sold either openly under such thin disguise that
nobody who wants drink has any trouble in get
ting it.
The indications point to the emasculation or
absolute repeal of the prohibition law in the state.
The Democrats are demanding the substitution
OF high license for prohibition, as they have been
doing for years past.
The Republicans have evidently weakened on
prohibition, as their platform merely calls for a
revision Of the liquor laws, leaving it for the egis
lature to determine what changes shall be made.
The Republican candidate for governor is not
advocating continuance OF the prohibition regime,
but Is pledged to approve whatever act on the sub
iect che legislature may send to him.
Prohibition has clearly lost ground in New
Hampshire ever since the lastelectiOn.
It is the general belief that the legislature to be
elected in November will have a majority in each
house favorable to the substitution Of high license
for prohibition. In New Hampshire prohibition
seems to have been an even worse failure than
usual.

"Happy as queen" is trite old saying The
sadness OF its falsity is in the story of the old
woman who died in Belgium few days ago, weareI
OF crown that was O veritable crown OF sorrows.
History chose the wrong kinswOman for its pity
when Maximian's bride became known for ali
time as "POOr Carlotta." She had one bitter
draught of grief and then the relief Of madness.
Marie Henrietta OF Belgium drank the cup to its
dregs, but drop by drop in full consciousness OF
every woe that can be tasted by woman. She was
queen and today she will have 8 royal funeral,
but from her girhOOd there was not an hour when
the poorest needlewOman, tOiling throughout the
daylight for pittance to keep life in her tenement
home, could not have spared pity for this more
unfortunate sister The curse Of the Hapsburgs
was upon her. Her husband, notorious as a profit
gate and brutal in his indety; her son lost to her
in childhood so suddenly that she always believed
him poisoned by alien ntriguers; her eldest daugh
ter lnsane like her husbands sister, the Empress
OF Mexico; her second daughter, wife OF Rudolph of
Austria victim of the unsOlVed mystery OF Never
ling; racked by disease that for years made each
day an agony and unable to save the treasured rel
les OF her lost ones from the fire that destroyed the
castle she had made her shrine the sorrows OF Hen
rletta seem hardly TO have ended with her DEATH
which came without the presence of single rela-
tve The daughter who had been exiled and ostra-
cised because she stopped from royalty and made
love match Of her second marriage was not even
permitted to stand beside her mothers bier and
the last insult was paid by the husband who had
mlstreated her in the expulsion of her child
Happy as queen.o-Was satire ever bittererf
Better Thousand times the guillOtine Of Marie
AntOinette, the cell Of crazy CarOtta, the exile Of
renounced Josephine or the bereavement OF Eugene,
than any passage in the tortured life Of poor Hen.

The business men by al means should get into
politics, not necessarily Office seekers, but at
least as voters The Indifference Of business to the
administration Of public affairs has been one Of the
greatest factors in promoting municipal corruption
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis and
st. Louis have recently presented object lessons to
the business men Of the country. The domination
for 50 many years Of these cities by corrupt and per
nieious Influences in large measure is due to the
lethargy Of the business men who would not devote
some Of their time to public business because 50 alb
s0rbed in private business. Civic duties, however
cannot be violated with impunity and the business
men Of the larger cities have paid in full measure
for their negligence. It viii be fortunate day for
the municipality when not only the business men
but 81 classes Of citizens throw aside the natural
disinclinatiOn to participate in political contests
and are found at the polls expressing their wishes
and their convictions. EVil forces alone triumph
in community when the forces Of good are dor.
mant. Interest in political events and active par.
ticipatiOn in elections by the Citizenry is guaran-
tee Of the triumph Of decency and good government

- Sol Nal Wenl more stringent divorce
=T3EESRla 4 laws has been in progress several
'5ssE5Ss years; 5000 ..
pointed to revise generally the practice and proce-
dure laws Of Illinois. It's report, which will be
ready for submission to the Legislature next Janua
ry, recommends many changes in illinois, laws
but probably none that will be more generally ap-
proved than those relating to divorce
1t Is proposed that hearing shall be had or de.
cree entered in divorce cases within three months
from the time the default is entered or appearance
Of the defendant is fxed.
This charge will put an end to the quick divorces
Tor which Illinois has become famous mainly be-
cause of the frequent divorce scandals in Chicago
The commission recommends the extension OF the
time required for obtaining divorce for the reason
that where divorces asked for on other grounds
than desire to marry again the three months after
default is entered afford time for reconclliatiOns
explanations and readiustments thatwill be imprOv-
ed by many erring couples that have become es-
tranged for trihing causes and MISUNDERSTANDING
It also affords ample protection for the innocent de-
fendant in divorce proceedings whose rights are ig-
nored or ieOpardized by hasty action on the part Of
the courts.
1t is not probable that we shall have uniform di-
Vorce laws In all the states, at least for long time
to come. There is still less probability of federal
legislation on the subject Of divorce but there is
growing tendency toward restraining divorce by
state legislation
This has accomplished much in the last few years
and the prospects Of much general divorce re-
form are decidedly bright.
