No Ship Subsidy Now.

1t may be definitely stated that no
ship subsidy bill will be passed by the
present congress. In fact, there is a
growing conviction in Washington
that ship subsidy may be indefinitely
postponed beyond the present admin
istration, the assumption being based
on the entrenched position it's enemies
have secured and the probability of
additional opposition in the member
ship of the next house.
In a very large degree the radical
champions of ship subsidy have them
selves to blame for their own back
set. The thing that blocks their prog
ress now is the congressional investi-
cation, for which a committee has
been appointed and which could not
possibly be completed in time to have
the Humphrey bill considered further
at this session. Nor is it certain that
the investigation will be completed by
the next session. AS that will be the
short end Of congress, it is highly
probable hat only a futile attempt
could be made to force action then.
Radical ship subsidy interests made
the fatal error of OVERRIDING their
campaign. They i~nstigated personal
attacks on government officials whom
they could not persuade and sent out
literature containing statements that
could not help but arouse members Of
congress n tend to prejudice them
against the very name ship subsidy,
Conservative ship interests did their
best to counteract this folly, but
failed. They urged the wisdom of
resting their case on its merits and
seeking by respectful arguments to
win congress over. but the damage to
their cause wal already done.
1t is highly probable that with the
weight OF the administrations inhu-
ence back of a moderate ship subsidy
something might have been accom-
plished and the bill at least brought
to a vote. But under the circum-
stances-the maintenance in Washing
ton OF a beehive lobby and the dis
semination of this lurid literature

United States senator, the pledge ex-
acted by the Oregon plan at best can
carry only a moral and not a legal OBJ
legation.
There are some other points OF com
~plication in the so-called Oregon
scheme which have led competent law
yers to question its constitutionality,
and these will doubtless be ultimately
threshed out in the courts either be-
fore or after practical experiment.

congress had no option except to pause
and inquire into the charges and oun
%ter-charges before proceeding with the
measure.
For the merits Of ship subsidy and
for the time it has already consumed
and will yet in congress. the
present situation is unfortunate. 1t
would be profitable If the subject could
be disposed of one way or the other
after dragging through so many ses-
sions of congress already. The cause
of reviving our merchant marine by
some sort Of subsidy has plainly
gained no ground in spite of favoring
conditions.

George II. Williams, who died recently in
Portland, ore, was a conspicuous figure in
the politics Of the second Grant administra-
tion. He had been United States senator
from oregon from 1865 to 1871. and entered
Grants cabinet as attorney general in
March, 1873. In December Of that year the
president nominated him to be chief justice
Of the supreme court, but the senate re-
fused TO confirm the nomination. His
death after a long period of comparative
obscurlty dimly recalls an era at Washing
ton now almost as far removed from ours
in its political Ideals, methods and SYM
pathies as the era of Jackson and Jeffer-
son.

Senator John w. Daniel Of Virginia, who
is passing through a period Of severe i'll
ness, some time since told the story of
why he regarded Grant as "a true and
honorable soldier" 1t was because Grant
once saved the life OF a friend OF Daniels.
This is the way Senator Daniel told the
story:
Along in January or February, 1866, a
young Virginia soldier, about II or IS years
OF age land l want you to understand that
every boy In Virginia from 10 to "a years
OF age and Upward was carrying arms at
that time) was instructed by his com
mander, who was Colonel John S. Mosby,
to cross the Potomac to a certain post
office in Maryland and bring to him the
mail. He wanted it for the military in
formation he could get out OF It,
This young man was IN his fun con-
federate uniform, and with a comrade or
two proceeded to execute the order. He
arrived at the postoffice, and the incon-
venient postmaster showed fight. He killed
him. He got the mail and brought it and
delivered 1t to his commander. A short
time afterward he was captured. He was
taken to the city OF Washington. He was
court-martialed and condemned 70 be shot
for murder.
~ nat stage VI the proceedings MS
father and mother, whom l knew we'll
and there were no more respectable and
reputable people In Virglnia-went TO the
city OF Washington and laid the case be,
fore the president OF the United States,
Andrew Jackson. He referred them 10
General Grant.
General Grant sent for the papers and
read them over and wrote upon the back
OF them words TO this effect;
This young soldier, In full uniform,
obeyed the orders Of his commander; n
he had not done 10 he ought to have been
shot As he did 80. It would be murder
20 shoot him. He should be instantly dis
charged
And that Is one reason why ! am glad
to pay the respect OF a soldier 10 the
brave. true and honorable American sol
der Ulysses s, Grant"

The oratorical pre-eminence OF Texas in
congress IL a source OF wonderment and
envy to the rest OF the union. Rarely has
the advantage OF territorial area as an
incentive to lung development been so
strikingly demonstrated. But Texas is not
content with mere lung expansion. The
Lone stars ambition IS TO decorate the
output Of hot-air with mellifluous trimmings
and fill the arching heavens with a cyclone
OF sweet sounds. A defense Of the Texas
style Of rhetoric, such as the Houston
Post offers, Is an unnecessary drain on
editorial gray natter Texas rhetoric
needs no defense. When II gushes forth all
other geysers are lured to sleep and silence.
Listeners are CENTRALIZED and appropriations
overlap treasury locks and bolts. Such
was the effect OF the oratory OF Congress
man Morris Sheppard IN behalf of the
aged government clerk. Those who would
retire the elderly employe, oslerlzed or
osslfied by faithful service, Sheppard re-
buked by an eloquent lineup of bygone
elders.

May II will be a great day in Washington
for the Polish Americans as it will witness
the unwilling of statues of K%osciusko and
Pulaski. The former will be on Lafayette
square and the latter on Pennsylvania ave
nue., near the National theater, Each of
these Polish heroes Of two worlds" will
then have more than one memorial in the
United States. There is a monument to
Kosciusko at West Point whose original
Notifications he traced out or improved
what time he was the most distinguished
engineer in the service. The shaft has a
peculiar interest in that it is the expression
OF the esteem in which Kosciusko was held
by the cadets of eighty years ago, who
raised the funds that paid for It. Koscl-
usko was a disinterested character. He
did not come here as a highly salaried mill
tary expert under contract, but as an
ardent admirer OF the American cause.
Possibly Pulaski is a more popular char
acter, his early and glorious death at
Savannah having touched the sympathetic
chord of historians. He, too. has his monu-
ment, erected by the citizens of Savannah,
half a century ago. TIL national tribute
will be the tardy fulfillment Of a resolution
