GOULDER AND GOULDEN.

Goulder and Golden do not seem to be able to agree
The argument is less the subject of the rel
alive value of Sunday school children-and othersas
compared with the dividend on steamboat stock.
Gouder is lawyer. For years he has been hired to
lobby for the ship subsidy grab.
Gouden is a congressman. He once sat on cOroners
jury, and now come to the argument
Gouden a member Of the coroners jury that in
Nestigated the burning of the Gen. Socum with the loss
of 200 lives New York several years ago. The jury
found the steamer engaged in the excursion business
not properly manned.
Goulden was in Uncle Sam navy during the civil war;
SO he knows something about ships Since that time he
has managed life insurance company, so he knows
something about the things that kill people.
After the coroners jury found that 1000 chill
dren had been murdered in the Socum disasterchdren
who Sunday school picnic-Gouden watched to
see what would be done about it.
He the ship owners lawyers search and seek for
a oophole-and find it, usual. Why, of course, the
fault wasn't the ship owners 1t the United
States Inspector who let the ship leave it's dock without
full crew; without enough feboas; with life belts that
wouldnt float; with rotten fire hose
So Goulden went back to congress and introduced a
bill Briefly the bill says that matter what crooked
drunken careless inspector may say the ship
not absoved from blame if the shipping laws are
violated.
Goulden thinks that's fair He says it's just as wrong
to pick pocket with the consent of the police it is
without.
Goulder hired by the folks who want SUBSIDIES is in
Washington arguing that if Inspector passes ship
that ought to be enough and that congress and children
and You and should rely the discretion Of the nspec
tors to prevent boats from sailing short of officers
He would relieve the folks who the boat of all ab-
ty long heller who happens to be inspector is
''satisfed!'
1t will be interesting to notice what the hOuse-and
the senate-w do Whether they will listen to the old
sailor the who sat the coroners jury the life in
man, the congressman to the lawyer who is
hired to lobby for ship subsidies and other things

Dear Dad: Well, it's just as l told

berserk rage, when he gets after

to see! He reminds me of the old
Jew Samson when they tied him up
with the ropes of hemp, and then
told him the Philistines were upon
him" The cautions of the Roots
and Tafts are like the hempen
ropes. He grabs the jawbone of an
ass-and there are always some

WILL KILL THE MEASURE.
House of Lords Will Summary Vote
Down Licensing Bill.

London, Nov. 24.-There was re-
markable gathering of lords today in
the residence Of Lord LanSdOWne. the
leader of the opposition. Two hundred
members of the Upper House as
sembled to discuss what the House
should do with the licensing bill. The
opposition to this measure is strong
among the lords, of all parties. Wheth
er to kill the bill summariy or return
it to the Commons sweepingly amend
ed was discussed at length.
BY large majority the meeting de-
cided in favor of rejecting the bill
summarily when brought up for its
second reading. AS the Unonsts are
in a strong majority in the Upper
House there will be no difficulty in
throwing out any radical legislation
dStaSteful to them.
The resolution carried at tOdayS
meeting was to the effect that while the
UnionistS are DESTROYS of promoting
temperance it is impossible for them
to support d measure that violates The
principles of equity. There were only
eight dissenting votes.

CHANGES HIS MIND.
Shah of Persia Tears Down Proclama
tions Posted In Mosques.

Teheran, Nov 24.-The Shah already
has repented OF his proclamation post
ed in the mosques yesterday in which
it was set forth that the people, IN
spite of his promises, shall not have d
constitution and during the night he
sent out urgent orders to withdraw this
proclamation from circulation and to
destroy all copies of it. The proclama-
tions were hurriedly torn down.
This sudden change of front on the
part of His Majesty is attributed here
to the vigorous representations that
undoubtedly have been made by the
British and Russian legations. These
powers, it is reported, have notified the
Shah that he will be held personally
responsible if his refusal to give his
people a constitution results in an
archy.
