The American shipping interest is
not without it's friends. The election
of officers of the Maritime Exchange,
New York, resulted in victory for the
Stars and Stripes, as we hoped and ex-
pected it would. To have elected as
president of this association an Eng
lishman, the agent of British ship-own-
ers, would have been little less than a
crime. Then Congress at its recent
session passed three shipping bills, the
most important legislation enacted by
Congress in favor of the industry since
the passage of the postal subsidy bill,
which became law in 1891. These bills
are the Gardner bill, which provides for
a commission of five members each of
the House and Senate to investigate
the conditions of the American mer-
chant marine in the foreign trade, and
recommend bill at the beginning of
the next session of Congress for its
better protection; the Philippine bill,
which places the commerce of those
islands with the United States under
the protection of the coastwise laws;
and the Government Supply bill, which
provides that the army and navy must
ship supplies by American vessels ex-
clusively when the rate is not unreason-
able.
| The committee appointed under the
Gardner bill to investigate and report
on the best methods Of restoring the
merchant marine of the United States

The Democrats in Congress made
several attempts during the recent ses-
sion to find an issue on which to go be-
fore the country in the coming cam
paign; but in turn had to drop the Phil
ippine problem, the Panama canal and
the postal frauds. Their last attempt
was a personal warfare on the Presi-
dent, as to the result of which there
cannot be the slightest doubt. Indeed,
that staunch Democratic newspaper, the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, has taken alarm
at these petty attacks and advises Dem
ocrats in attacking President Roose-
welt as President to avoid assailing
what their own party really approves.
By way Of specifications the Eagle
says:
Had a truly American Democrat
been President he would approve ad
herence to the Gold Standard, the
course followed in the Philippines, the
graduated reduction of the army, the

his former testimony with renewed emphasis.

lie April term of court will show

There had then been three terms of
court since Chief Justice WisWell an
nouuced from the bench in this city

altogether satisfactory, and that here
after, III the case of persistent offend

How that promise has been kept the re-

Rockland Opinion

The Rockland Opinion discusses
IN PW York and its Candidate, and
says of Judge P;.kel: "Mr Parker is
the one candidate whose nomination
would make Democratic victory in that
State impossible, and he would not
have the cordial support of the party
in any State in the Union" The selec-
ton of Hon. S. w. Gould as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor in this
State, is not more favorably regarded
by our RocklanG contemporary, whose
Dem ocracy is of the rock ribbed de-
Scription. 1t says:
SO far as Knox county is concerned,
MI. Gould is all right. We have shown
our love and esteem for him in the best
possible Way-far more conclusively
than those who shouted for him at
Bangor and then went to sleep till at
ter election. We will do as well or
better this year than ever before. But
cannot a man be found who can get the
Democrats of the balance of the State
to vote fer him? That is the suggestion
we wish to make, if it is not out of or
der. And if it is, we tender our apollo
gies, and will continue to occupy the
very back seat in the Democratic tenn
pie, and carefully refrain from offering
our opinions, and SO far as possible
from having any. That seems to be
what is expected of us.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal

not a auack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years, and is a regular prescription.
1t is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,

The burning of Holbert and his wife
closes a tragedy which has cost eight

packs of bloodhounds in a four days

stirred this section of Mississippi al
most to frenzy. Following are the

James Eastland, white, planter, killed
by Holbert; John Carr, negro, killed by
Holbert; John Winters, negro, killed
by Eastland; three unknown negroes,

donned mans clothing, both heavily
armed, had fled.
Posses were formed at Greenville,
Cleveland and other points, and the
pursuit of Holbert and his wife was
begun with horses and bloodhounds
The chase, which was begun Wednes-
