GREAT AND PETTY SUBSIDIES.

When it comes to anything free
most of us like to get our share of It,
and as free seeds are the only subsidy
the planters of the south, or the farm
err of the north, get from Uncle Sam
congress has determined to continue
the distribution. But what price
the recipients pay for their five cents
worth of seeds. The same system
on a much greater scale allows the
trusts and combines to receive enor-
nous subsidies through the protective
tariff and other special privileges.
All these subsidies from the govern
meDt, petty and great, are paid from
the taxes collected from the people,
and the farmers pay, on an average,
one hundred dollars for the five cents
they receive, for in addition to their
share of the taxes the subsidized
trusts, protected by the tariff, add to
the price they charge for their pro-
ducts so that the cost of living has
advanced about forty per cent.

TAKE, BUT DO NOT GIVE.

Our government will not send a
gift to the bride of SPANS king.
Fortunately the king of Spain did not
send one to Miss Roosevelt at the
time of her marriage, and the admin
istration is thus relieved from what
might be a serious embarrassment,
saws a Washington correspondent.
Gifts from crowned heads and govern
ments bring great deal of trouble to
those who receive them. When a
potentate makes present to fellow
ruler, or any one else, he ex-
poets a return in kind. The president
would have to devote his entire in
come to that purpose If he did
what is expected of him, while con-
gress will never make an appropri-
alton for any such object. In the
national museum and in the library
of the state department are numerous
artistic and valuable articles which
have been presented to our presidents
or government by foreign rulers, and
in each case the president was eX-
pected to reciprocate IN kind. When
the president of France or the presi-
dent of Switzerland or the president
of the Argentine republic or the presi
dent of Cuba, or any of their families,
receive gifts they always return them.
The same is done by the crowned
heads of Europe, Asia and Africa,
but the president of the United States
is an exception. We do not exchange
presents. We accept everything that
is sent us from the sultan of Turkey
or the empress of China or any other
prince or potenate and we put it up
in the national museum or the state
department library to be admired,
while the persons who sent it and al
foreigners who know that it was sent
are gossiping about our ignorance OF
etiquette. The failure of our govern
ment to return the many presents that
have been made to the president and
The members of his family during the
last quarter of century is common
source of gossip in every country.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The clash
between Senators Tillman, Bailey
and Ex-senator Chandler on one side
and President Roosevelt on the other
was the overshadowing sensation all
last week. Instances have been very
rare when a president of the United
States has publicly denounced any
one as a liar, or when members OF
congress have hurled the epithet IN
the direction of the white house.
President Roosevelt has hot Georgia
blood in his veins, and once during
the presidential campaign and again
last year he called distinguished peo-
pie liars.
Several years ago Grover Cleve-
land. between his two terms when he
was not holding any public office, APP
piled what is usually regarded as the
vilest epithet in the English language
to the then editor of the New York
Sun.
One of the features of last week S
sensation which excited much comment
was the discovery of the close friend
SulD D6GWGSu OClldUCL 1OCl4 AlAALAAGNA ~
South Carolina and ex-senator
Chandler of New Hampshire. The
latter has not only been one OF the
noisiest wavers of the bloody shirt,
and opposed to separate cars for the
races, but in the railroad rate bill
fight the interests which he represents
are directly opposed to the interests OF
Senator Ben Tillman's constituents.
Chandler is said to own large cot
ton mills in New England. He wants
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to make rates. Commissioner Prouty
has already intimated that if he gets
the power he will see that New Eng
land cotton mills are given lower
rates to the west, and thus give the man
advantage over southern mills in ship
ping to market.
At present the rate on cotton goods
from Atlanta to Chicago and from
New England to Chicago are the same.
However, the rates from New England
to Chicago are 1870 lower than from
the Carolinas to Chicago.
1t is also believed that the majority
of the present commission would try
to make rates to enable the eastern
trunk lines to carry more grain to
New York and Boston as against New
Orleans and other southern points.
And this is said to be what Chan
dler is playing tor.

a PEST OF RABBITS.

Farmers and husbandmen OF many
lands have had their troubles from
insects and other pests-of which the
locust, the weevil, the boil worm, and
the moth are examples. But no more
homeless war was ever waged against
an animal pest than that against
the rabbit. In fact, the trouble has
increased so much of late that we are
told that it is now the general Opin-
ion that the western country can
never be protitably occupied, even dur
ING the most favorable seasons, until
the rabbit pest has been subdued'
One large land-owning company
netted in two and a half million acres
of pastoral land, and treated half OF
it for ten months with every known
means for destroying rabbits, only to
find when operations ceased that rab-
bits we're more numerous in the area
treated than at the beginning. Moth
ING like this occurs in nature. A
pest which develops naturally IS al
WAYS kept down by natural enemy.
When man interferes and introduces
an animal without also introducing
its enemy it sometimes gets beyond his
control.

RAISES CHICKENS ON THE ROOF.

From the Youths Companion.
A chicken farm is established
on the roof of the largest family
hotel in New York. The hens lay
eggs for those who dine in the hotel.
The first experiment at keeping chick
ems twenty stories up in the air failed
because the chickens were taken to
their high place from a country farm.
They became homesick, and did not
lay. Then an incubator was bought,
and the chickens were Matched on the
roof. About two hundred and fifty
are now kept there all the time, feeling
at home in the only sort of scenery
they have ever known. But it makes
a country chicken-raiser homesick to
think of chickens, twenty stories up in
the air, deprived of the joys of dig
ging worms in the flower beds.

GEoRG1A's FAMOUS SENATOR.

From the Atlanta News.
Georgia has in the American senate
today representative who has from
the day of his entrance there doomed
large and with increasing luster on the
canvas of public history. Senator
Bacon was met at the door of the sem
ate with general confidence in his
long-tried legislative abilities, his
legal equipment and his splendid apti~
tude for political leadership. Contin-
uously and strongly he has advanced
to the position in the senate where his
words and proposals command the
profoundest consideration of his col
leagues and the attention OF the ma
ton. AS a debater he has been ap-
plauded as worthy successor OF the
greatest forensic lights that have ever
shone in the senate since its establish
ment. AS critic of un-American and
undemocratic measures he has kept re-
publican administrations on their
guard against his attacks and forced
them to change their intentions. AS
constructive statesman. either IN nome
affairs or in our colonial eXplOita-
tions, he is looked to by the whole
country to champion democratic doc
trines and fight for true republican
| ideals.
However high may be the positions
accorded Senators Bailey and Till
man neither of them would be him
self so vain as to claim himself head
and torso pre-eminence over the ia
nous senior senator from Georgia,
whom his grateful and admiring fell
low-citizens have placed beyond the

will be unanimously returned to serve

CANNOT HOLD PERKINS.
Insurance OMcial Not Guilty of Lar
ceny, But May BE Compelled to
Refund Campaign Money.

New York, May 20-The appellate
division of the supreme court Friday
handed down a decision discharging
from custody George. W. Perkins whom
the supreme court had held to await
action Of the grand Jury on technical
charge Of grand larceny In connection
nth the campaign contributions of the
New York Life Insurance company to
the republican national committee.
Justice Patton while agreeing that
Mr.. Perkins can not be found guilty Of
larceny said that he maybe compelled
by a civil action to make restitution
inasmuch as the officers Of the COM
pany had no power to make the con-
tribution. Referring to Mr.. Perkins
he says:
"In the present case he undoubtedly
had full knowledge that he was ad-
vancing money as political corpora
ton for and on behalf of the insurance
company and that he was to be re-
paid from funds Of that company;
but that knowledge does not necessar-
lily imply an intent on his part to
steal in receiving any satisfaction of
a claim which he honestly believed
he had against the corporation and
which constituted debt due him.
"The contribution for political pur-
poses was not, at the time, mentioned
in the information prohibited by law.
The officers and those in control Of
the insurance company had no power
to use the moneys of the company
for such a purpose, and the relator
may be compelled by a civil action to
make restitution Of what he received"
