Scent SUBSIDIES IN
INCREASE OF RATES
Representatives Attack Plan to
Raise Pay for Ocean
Mail Service
Postal Appropriations Bill Is
Unamended in the First
Days Discussion

WASHINGTON. March 1o.-Consider
alton of the ros;oTcc appropriation bill
was resumed by the house of repre-
sentatives today. Although amendments
were in order, the bill, when it Was
laid aside sfor the day with IL pages
disposed of had undergone no material
change.
A noteworthy speech by Hamilton Of
Michigan upholding the right of the
federal government to control corpora
-sions and sustaining the president in
his attitude toward them, was the fea-
Jlre of the days proceedings.
other addresses were made by Small
] OF North Carolina and Finley of South
Carolina. each of whom attacked the
proposition to increase the pay for
ocean mail service. saying that it was
only a subterfuge for a ship subsidy.
On a point of order by Wanger of
Pennsylvania the provision for a sec
ond assistant postmaster for Chicago
was eliminated from the bill He was
deaf TO all appeals to withdraw his
action. Wanger is chairman of the
committee Of expenditures in the post
office department. which among others
was recently revived, aud his action
was commented upon as indicating the
determination OF these committees TO
institute economies wherever possible.
VOTE DOWN INCREASES
An effort was made by Goebel Of
Ohio TO double the number of people
employed drawing salaries OF $1,000,
but his amendment was voted down. An
amendment by Goldfolge of New York
to give 90 days annual vacation to
clerks. carriers and other employees of
the first and second class postoffices
and Offices having q city delivery serv-

tion of the bill had not been concluded
when the house at SIS p m. adjourned.
If the house and senate concur in the
action taken today by the house COM
uittee on immigration and naturaliza-
tion in reporting the Burnett bill, IL
! will cost $40 instead of IS after July
! l. 1905 for q foreigner to become A
citizen of the United States. SO great
has become the bulk of naturalization
business. especially in centers such as
New York Boston. Philadelphia and
Chicago, that the discovery has been
made that the lawful fees are INSULT
cient TO cover the actual cost of the
clerical work and. as A result. some
courts have practically refused to have
anything to do with the business.
TO KEEP DOWN EXPENSE
At the White House Representative
Tawney OF the house committee on APP
propriations, who had called on the
president at the latter's request to dis
cuss legislation, expressed the opinion
that the appropriations of congress al
this session would be kept within $780,
100000, exclusive of appropriations for
battleships. Ii there We're two new
battleships ordered, he said, the total
would reach s920.o00,00O. and if -four
the total would reach 1910, 100000. The
total appropriations in the last con-
gress he pointed out, were about 1920
100000. and it was hoped to reduce
the appropriations this year about
$4,000, 600.

Why. in all fairness, should they not
be asked to furnish them at these prices
now? If they can not afford to offer
them for less than. say $500 or 1925

siderably less than $500 for muchly ad-

more?
Here we have Knabe pianos in this

JOHNSON TEN CONTROL.
Bryan Men Outnumbered at Demo
cratic County Convention.

The Democrats held spirited and
well-attended county convention last
Saturday, the contest between the
johnson and Bryan forces having ex-
cited considerable interest. But the
johnson forces were easily in control,
and Johnson resolution was adopt
ed and johnson delegation to the
state convention named.
The convention was called to order
by chairman 7. H. Mcguire and the
call was read by the Secretary Walter
G. Borrill. Chairman Mcguire called
attention to same unpaid bills from
The 1904 campaign amounting to
about $40.
Chairman Mcguire then stated that
it was the custom for the chairman to
appoint the temporary chairman of
the convention, and in accordance
with that custom, he appointed A. Fl.
Taisey, of Donnelly, as temporary
chairman Several delegates de-
naslrred to this ruling, and J. B. Or
nond spoke against the ruling and
contended that the convention should
select its own chairman and on ap-
pealing to the house was sustained.
Mr.. Taisey declined the honor, and
spoke in favor of the convention
naming its own chairman. Mr..
Mcguire refused to yield the point,
and named J. B. Ormond as chairman
of the convention but he i'm turn re-
fused. M. F. Finnegan was then
elected as chairman of the conven-
ton, but Mr.. Mcguire still refused to
"assassinste that old and we'll es-
tablished custom" of the right of the
county chairman to select the tenn
porary chairman, and appointed Mr..
Finnegan himself. About the time
the convention was in a turmoil as to
whether Mr.. Finnegan was chairman
because of his appointment, the dele
gates got in hurry and insisted that
Mr.. Finnegan take the chair anyway,
which he did. ;s
Mr.. FEnegan thanked the conven-
ton and Mr.. Mcguire. Chas. Vaughan
was then elected temporary secret
ary.
The following committees were ap-
pointed.

convention be instructed to support
only such persons as shall unequivoc-
ally favor the nomination of John A.
Johnson"
The resolutions were favored in re-
marks made by J. B. Ormond and A..
Fl. Taisey.
Mr.. Mcguire then took the floor,
and addressed the convention III the
interest of Bryan.
The resolutions were then adopted.
Joseph Sauter asked the privilege
of the floor, and made a stirring
speech for Mr.. Bryan.
The convention then selected as
delegates to the state convention, M.
F. Finnegan, John Borofky, Frank
Hanrehan, P. F. Casey, j. J. Nc
Carney, M. Mahoney, and A. H.
Taisy, NJ. F. Finnegan was elected as
member of the state central COM
mittee.
The matter of the $40 debt. which
had been mentioned by Mr.. Mcguire
several times, was then taken up. A.
FL. Taisy started the contributions
with a five dollar bill. and others
followed with contributions from one
dollar up, and enough was raised Or
pledged to pay the debt.
The convention then adjourned.

"We the duly appointed and ac-
credited delegates to the Democratic
County Convention of the County of
Stevens this day assembled, again re-
new our pledges and our faith in the
principles of the great party of the
people and urge upon the people of
our county, our state and our nation
the necessity of maintaining the prin-
eiples and doctrines of the Founder of
our party, Thomas Jefferson.
ssIt is matter of pride and plea
sure to us to know that at this time
more than for many years before,
democratic thought is more prevail
ent in our country and we con-
gratulate the president of the United
States in being the recipient of the
good will and plaudits of the people,
especially SO because he has become
popular and effective as a chief
magistrate, just in proportion as he
has borrowed, asserted and main
tanned the principles and doctrines of
the democratic party.
"Being proud of our commonwealth
we as democrats and citizens of the
great state of Minnesota take especial
pride in the grand record of our chief
executive, John A. Johnson. We re-
cognize in him a man of sterling
honesty, unfaltering patriotism, in
I domitable courage and disposition
to stand always and unwaveringly
for the right. We congratulate the
state upon his splendid administra-
tion, a record which stands without
criticism even from his political
enemies. The people commend him
and have faith in him because of his
manly power always directed for
! their good and we the democrats of
Stevens County, believing that he is
worthy of higher honors than Mime
sofa can give and believing that the
nation could find no citizen to act as
it's chief magistrate, who could better
guide the destines of this republic.
awe therefore resolve, that the
Honorable John A. Johnson be de-
signated ss our first choice for the
democratic nomination for pre-
sident; that we commend hina to the
people of the state and nation and
urge upon all loyal democrats of
Minnesota to do honor to our state
and to its most distinguished citizen
by using all honorable means to Sc
cure his nomination as the national
leader of our party.
