III the west, are no less opposed to a
paternaism of aid, which is usually
Fictitious and always unfair.
From these dilemmas fairly safe
way but may perhaps be found in
some such temporary expedient as
that provided by the Ocean Mail Sub

ed that the country must be, in a
bad way when the home control Of
our. enormous oceangoing sea trade is
limited to less than nine per cent. Of
the shipping engaged in carrying our
natural and acquired commerce.
freight, it must be remembered, is
the mother of wages, and as ninety
two per cent Of the earnings Of ocean
transportation from this country is
paid to foreigners there must be some
where neglect that disgraces our ma
tive intelligence and industry. This
defeat Is by some doctrines assigned
to the mischievous intcrfercnces of
foreign steamship rings. but in the
main it may be attributed to our
foolishncss in @raSping after the shad-
ow and loSin" the substance.
The declared intentions Of the new
measure are TO develop our COM
mercc by mail subvention and to con-
Stltutc a reserve for the navy. The
expenditure proposed is four million
dollars annually--a large sum; but as
nothing else seems at this hour DOS

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

Sheffield plate differs from all 9TH
er plated ware in that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped Before and since
then plating of va,ious sorts has been
applied only to the flushed piece, ~
IN our clectroplating pr,cess. More
over, the plating wa, lone on copper,
while modern base metal is usually
composed Of an amalgam Of copper,
n:clcl and zine.
Furthermore, it is possible for
The collector TO securt txanjplcs Of
{ lrly Georgian and so called Queen
Anne work in Sheffield plate, while
the rarity and high money value of
sllvcrware of that period make its ac-
qulsition extremely difficult. Sheffield
plate historically and artistically is
as worthy Of a place beside old china
and old mahogany as is old silverwarc.
In l742 one Thomas Bolsover of
Sheffield, England, described in the
histories as an "ingcnious mechanic" "
accidentally fused some silver and
copper while repairing a knife. He
began experimenting, seeking for a
method Of plating copper with sill

ticlcS. In l743 together with Joseph
Wilson, he sci up Factory for the
manufacture Of buckles, snuflboxcs
and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold of
the secret. and. perfectinw it. demon
stratcd that it was possible to imi-
tate the finest and most richly en-
bosscd >ilverwarr. Settling in
Sheffield. he started the manufacture
Of all sorts Of domestic pieces. Be
ginning modestly with horsepower, he
later added water power for the roll
ing process. Other manufacturers
followed his example. and Sheffield
plate soon began to replace pewter
on the tables of the England middle
classes. Altogether we know of
twenty-three importat manufacturers
of this ware.
The industry fIourished until the
middle of the nineteenth century, and

were made after that time that they

New York Herald.
The passage by the senate Of an
/ ocean subvention measure in the in
terest Of the merchant marine and
the plea of Senator Hale for the all

auXiliarics provided for the Naval
| Appropriation bill are matters so
closely related as to invite the earn

fense has for many years been neg
lectcd. The Republican party has ,on
the one hand, tried to force subsidies,
pure and simple. as the only remedy
to revive our decadant merchant ma
rinc. and, on the other hand. it has
gone forward with naval increase
without giving due weight to any
thing save the fighting ships.
In the discussion upon the ques-
tion the chairman of the Naval Com
mittee startled his colleagues by thi.
prcsrntment Of the fundamental dan

assistance Of foreign collicrs. and that

"must without this aid have been AS

be done to correct such evils. Vari-

FITCH LETTER NET DELAY
Lost Missive from Missing Man Not
Posted Until Two Days Had
Elapsed After Writing.

Search for Edward p. Fitch. tine Council
Bluffs man who suddenly disappeared
while enroute to London from Paris. has
developed one new fact-that the letter
which he wrote on a train between Dover
and the metropolis after leaving the chan
mel boat, and gave to an acquaintance to
post. was not mailed until two days after
Fitch had written it.
The unknown train acquaintance to whom
he entrusted the Bissive probably carried
It in a pocket for forty-eight hours before
putting it in a mail box, This unfortunately
not very significant fact is all that has
been CLEANED by a search which has en-
listed the aid OF the state departments of
Great Britain and the United States and
London police. Congressman Walter /.
| Smith has received a cable from Ambassa-
dor Reid saying that a search Of every hos
pital In London has failed to disclose the
missing man. The hospitals have been an
objective point in the search because his
letter stated hat he intended to go to
such an institution to be operated on for
appendicitis.
One guess is that he became so i'll on
the train that he was removed at an inter
mediate point. This does not seem likely
however, because the run from Dover tC
London is not long.

1t Is not often that a busy teacher can
or will take the time in the midst Of a
season to invite his friends to com and
listen to a program of such bigness as III,
one above mentioned. One of the con

enough work for the average plano teachei
but Mr.. Landow's resources seem to be II
exhaustible and such was his vein Of entll
sympathy, with these great works whic
he presented, that the time passed all tc
quickly. and the people went home with Il
full conviction that they had heard a mo
remarkable group from the works
Beethoven, and that they had left the tru,
Beethoven spirit.
The Bee has on past occasions proclaimed
the genius and the happy combination of
technique. feeling, and intellect possessed
by this man in such a manner that It is
not necessary now to go over the ground
again. Every student of music would find
1t an advantage to hear Mr.. Landow play
and TO observe his beautiful delicacy and
his classic strength. His work is never
effeminate and never noisy. The sincere
lamentation which he put into the "Arioso
dolente" in Sonata Opus 10 was heart
moving. and one could get a glimpse OF
the Master. the tltantic Beethoven in his
! later mood. The absolute clarity and
distinction of the Fuga was also a wonder
full piece of work.
An interesting thing about the G major
