The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-12-08

The Merchant Marine Com
mission, of which Senators Gall
niger and Lodge are members.
has been busy this week prepar-
ing its report for Congress and
drawing up a bill to be introduced
early in the session. It is known
that the bill will not recommend
free ships. Senator Gallinger
says that SO far no capitalist has
been found who would be willing
to purchase foreign ships and
operate them under American
laws. It is also understood that
the discriminating duty PROPOSE
tion has been abandoned. And
it is almost certain that no gener-
al bounty system, generous
enough to reflective, will receive
theassent of Congress. Admiral
Harrington says that if the
country wantsa merchant marine
it has got to pay for it. Possibly
the mail-carrying steamships
may be given bounty by the
ton mileas under the postal laws.
The president called atten-
ton in his message to the fact
that an exposition will be held at
Jamestown, Va, In 1907, to COM
memorate the settlement of that
place by Englishmen. He hopes
the people of the whole Union
will be interested in this exposi.
ton and will contribute to it's
success. This generous recon-
mendation is very pleasing to
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and the
people of Virginia.
Senator NeWlands is back in

Speaker Cannon is at the
capitol, shaking hands gleefully
with everybody, and taking a
very optimistic view of the future.
He says that all is contentment
IN the middle west, even in Ne.
oraska, and people are glad they
are alive. Which fact is un-
doubleday true of the whole
population. His motto for the
coming Congress is: "Let we'll
enough alone" After the Presi-
dents message has been made
public, he will give his views up
on general legislation. AS mat
tiers stand he thinks Congress at
this session will have it's hands
full to pass the money bills. Ex-
penditures must be "sawed off,
even with the receipt. Tn due
season, if need, there will be an
extra session with tariff consid-
.erations-say next September.
1t is thought the legislative ap-
preparation bill may pass the
house before the holidays,
Among the proposed new leg
aslation talked of is-whether
Congress will authorize new
building for the state depart
znent; whether the salary of the
president shall be increased to
100000 per annum, that of the
vic president to $4,000 and for
lnemb ers OF Congress.to $40, 600;
whether there shall be new bill
regulating immigration? Consid-
cradle concern is being caused
by the great and increasing rush
of immigrants to this country.

p. m.-Sir Charles Hardinge, the
British ambassador to Russia, this
afternoon, in behalf of his govern
ment presented a strong protest
to Russia against the seizure in
the Red Sea and detention of the
Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Malacca, which was carrying 800
tons of British government stores
for the naval establishment at
Hongkong, each case being mark
cd with the broad arrow, which
Is the government stamp.
The ambassador also presented
general protest against the action
OF the Russian volunteer feet
steamers in the Red sea.
The protest was in the form of
verbal note made in conformity
with telegraphlc instructions from
the British government. 1t does
not raise the question of the pass
age of the Dardanellos by vessels
of the volunteer fleet, it being
understood that Great Britain is
reluctant to reopen the question of
the passage of the Daranelles and
that she will not do so unless as
last resort.
Russia has reason to believe and
contends that the Malacca, in ad-
dition to British government
stores, had on board munitions IN
tended for Japan.

Two Questions for Candidates for
the Legislature to Discuss.

Courier of Monday, Mr.. August
Kohn calls attention to two
subjects that candidates for the
Legislature should discuss through
the state this summer. One is
the biennial sessions matter, to
which The Enquirer has frequently
called attention, and says Mr..
Kohn:
The other question on which
the masses ought to be informed
and on which there should be an
expression of opinion on the part
of all candidates for the general
assembly, whether for the house
or senate, il upon the Brlce bill.
Senator Brice of York county, in
troduced bill at the last session,
when people no longer wanted
the dispensarY system, or it Was a
jeopardy to their peace and good
order, they could vote it out of the
county. If upon vote of the
people the dispensary was no
longer wanted, then the machinery
was provided in the act for its re-
moval. The bill was cleverly
amended by the dispensarytriends,
so as to paralize it and prac.
tically make it dead letter. The
law as passed now says if county
!s aisg"sted with the disnensary
and no longer wants it for any
reason, it can vote it out of the
county, but, with a big B, if 1t no
longer wants the dispensary it
must pay a stated tax upon all
property in the county for that
privilege. This tax it Is alleged,
for the purpose of maintaining
tho constahularY :orce in the com
ty,afterthe dispensary is removed.
1t was clever piece of legislation
on the part of the dispensary ad-
vocates. They argued that with
out this tax feature, if counties
could vote the dispensaries out of
their borders, it would be the
means of breaking the backbone
of the dlspensary, as the profit
making counties would perhaps
vote the system out of their bord.

privilege, no county once having

cording to law. Saluda petition.
ed for the closing of its dispen.
sary, but the board said it could
not be done according to law.
Those who advocate the Brice bill
insist that it is simply home and
self government. The fight will
no doubt be made again at the
next session of the general assem-.
bly,, and every member of the
general assembly ought, before
the people, to say how he stands
upon this measure, and whether
he thinks each county ought to
regulate It's own liquor affairs, or
whether it ought to be state
matter, and what applies to one
county must apply to all, and
that if dispensaries be in vogue in
one county they must be forced
on every other county in the
state, and that the step to prohi,
bition that was promised can ne, or
be taken, unless the people stop
ouying liquor, as the dispensaries
once being opened are never to be
closed.-Yorkville Enquirer.

Norman S. Cason, an Industrious

In attempting to put on his hat the
brlm struck him in the eye. For
moment he was rendered totally
blind bnt soon afterwards his
sight came to him and he was able
to distinguish friends and objects
never before seen by him. He said
he could see the obstruction to his
vision gradually passing away af-
ter the total blindness came on.
The good fortune of Mr.. Carson
has resulted in his confusion to a
small degree. He did not know
the appearance Of his brothers and
friends and did not recognize them
after he had regained his sight un-
til they spoke to him. Mr.. Car

be had consulted eminent special
lists about his condition but none
