Ship Subsidy ENCOURAGED.

The election by the people of another
Republican congress will encourage the
ship subsidy lobbyists to persuade
congress at the coming session to pass
the ship subsidy bill, which the senate
has already passed. Many Republic
ans believe, some perhaps honestly,
that our shipping industry should be
subsidized directly, as the trusts are
indirectly by the tariff protection they
enjoy, but the New Orleans Picayune
hits the nail on the head when it says:
"This country can never hope to pos
sess an ocean going merchant marine
until American capital Is free to buy
ships wherever they can be secured at
the most reasonable cost and operate
them under the American flag free
from onerous exactions and restric-
tionS."

Tariff Reform Demanded.

The stockmen are the latest kickers
against the present tariff schedules
and at a late meeting at Kansas City
demanded that the tariff be so revised
as to give the best possible market
for live stock and live stock products.
The various live stock associations rep
Sesented ask congress for legislation
that will permit Of better trade ar
rangements and agreements with 9th
or nations. That. Of course, means
reciprocity. which our stand pat
statesmen have refused to rntify be-
cause no protected interest Is willing
to be sacrificed for the benefit OF the
stockmen or any II else. The only
revision OF the tariff that will pro-
duce results IL 10 rnt down protection
to the few by reforming the law on Il
revenue basis for the benefit OF the
many,

A Policy of Plumber.

Secretary Shaw declares the Demo
Gratis have mo settled policy as to
trusts" Without attempting to show
the untruthfulness Of Secretary Shaw's
declaration it may be said that Shaw
and his faction Of the Republican par
ty have a very we'll settled policy as to
trusts, and that policy is to stand pat
and protect the trusts with high tariff
protection and in every other way pos
slblc aid them In plundering the peo-
ple.

The Cost of Living.

AS a majority Of the people have de-
cided they are satisfied with the tariff
that protects the trusts, the balance
Of us will have to be satisfied for the
next three years with the greatly in
creased cost Of living. Those with
limited incomes will therefore have to
economize, and the laboring man will
have to demand higher wages to come
out even.

CHAPTER XXll.=Continued.

Much had been said regarding the
motives of his client, but Mr.. Stevens
contended they were manifestly as
great on the part of the defendant.
There was no doubt he had become
enamored with his brothers wife and
he had decided to possess her for
his own. He had repeatedly urged
marriage, but not until after the
Geath of Lenora, who had been muir
Gered to remove so dangerous a wit
ness to his past. When he became
convinced that the workman called
Primus Edes was no other than the
true Vane Hamilton, there was but
one course open. He must renounce
his claims or remove the true owner
He chose the latter. The shot was
either fired by his own hand or by his
emissary, Solomon Marks, who was a
fit tool for any such emergency.
The judge was very impressive in
his summary of the case. which he
record. He not only reviewed the
evidence on both sides as usual, set
ting forth the claims of each and ex-
planning corroborating and collateral
evidence, but he spoke of the gross
charges which would be made after
wards of forgery perjury, and per-
haps murder, against the person who
sustained defeat. He solemnly charg-
ed them, therefore, to deliberate long
and wisely before deciding, that the
gravest conviction of duty and JUS
tice called upon the best and wisest
faculties of the human mind to aid
them in a decision like this, upon
which rested such great and unusual
issues. 1t was not alone a question of
property, but of family and of life
and death. Therefore let them DELHI
crate well before deciding.
Two nights and a day passed be-
ore a decision was reached. and then
it was in favor of the present incum-
bent of the Hamilton estates, who was
declared to be the true and legal own
err, Vane Hamilton; and an order for
the arrest of Henry Ashley. alias Pr.
mus Edes, was filed by the order OF

The college that a famous man had
been graduated from is very likely to
claim all the credit for his distin-
3uished character and achievements.
A portrait of the late John Hay was
presented to Brown university this
week, and, according to the orator OF
the occasion, the Brown OF so years
ago must be awarded no end OF glory
for having had the young Hay as
student and having given to him its
diploma. If the colleges of so years
ago were such inefficient places OF
learning and mind training as Charles
Francis Adams avows them to have
been, a difficult problem arises in
awarding to them just the proper
amount OF credit for their celebrated
alumni. But however good or bad
college may be at certain time, it
lis sure to turn out some one who
makes more or less of an impression
upon the world in his after life. Did
the college make him?" 1t is to be
feared that some of the credit for
mans grandfathers. grandmothers.
and even his father and mother, then
a little more to his training at homo
IN the early plastic period down
through adolescence. and still little
more to the other schools that helped
to develop him, and finally a good
round bit to the never-ending drill
that he acquired away from books in
the hurry burly OF life itself What
credit is left may be awarded to the
modest institution where the great
man spent four short years out OF his
go or 70. Really. says the Springfield
Republican this is not detracting
from the credit due to a college for
"a great alumnus; 1t is merely a pro-
& test against the college taking all, as
SO often happens on commencement
day. and at alumni dinners.

forest reserves are located has come
to Governor Mcdonald in the form OF
a communication from Secretary Jane
a communication from Secretary Jameil
Wilson OF the Department of Agricul>

ANNOUNCES that the money is ready
under the bill Of June S0th. granting
ten per cent. Of the receipts from the.
forest reserves to the state of Colo
RADIO, the money to be apportioned by
the Legislature to the various coun'
ties which embrace the reserves.
The money, under the act. must be
expended by the counties for the main
tenance of schools and public roads.
The income from the reserves In
creases greatly each year. as the value
Of the lands, leases and rentals in
crease, and 1t is stated that eventually
there will be sufficient income from
this source alone to keep up the county
schools.
The total collected from the forest
reserves in Colorado during the last
fiscal year was 125,417.93, and ten per
cent. Of this amount, states Secretary
Wilson, will be forwarded TO Colorado,
this being $12,541.79.
