If paid at the next session of Abe’s court the interest would amount to about S2OO Why. then, was the council asked to appropriate $6,300 for this improvement when the amount would be—if paid at next session of Abe’s court—l6,154.25? Perhaps, though, Abe intends to “continue” the claim until the full amount of the appropriation is eaten up in interest. 1

“HAfter a stormy convention in which the entire Hamilton county delegation bolted, C. B. Landis was nominated for the fourth time for congressman, at Kokomo, Thursday.

They have a form of amusement over at Morocco that does not prevail to any great extent in other towns of Newton county. Every Monday morning the good housewives of the hamlet race desperately to see which will first finish the week’s washing, and their enthusiastic husbands set on the fence and root for’ em like it was a football game.

It must be amusing to people who are at all cognizant with the facts to hear Marshall rant, rave and throw invectives at the “Newton county seat gang.’’ No worse “county seat gang” can be found in the whole state than right here in Jasper, and Marshall always “endorses” every act of political skullduggery of the aforesaid “gang.”

The announcement of John F. Pettit of Walker tp., aa a candidate for county commissioner from “Honest Abe’s” district has appeared in the Remington Press, a republican paper, for the past two weeks. “Hinkey-Dink” Robertson of the Wheatfield windjabber can depend upon what he sees in The Democrat as being correct. A little more time spent in investigating the truth of its utterance and in conducting a newspaper in such a manner that the postoffice department would not find it necessary to get after him might result in saving the backers of this Halleck organ considerable humiliation.

And now the supreme court has held the minimum wage rate for unskilled labor on public work no good. It holds that where a laborer contracts to work for any price, no matter how low that price may be, he can collect only the contract price. The law under which the case was brought prohibited cities or other corporations or contractors from making contracts for unskilled labor upon public work at a less rate per ‘hour than that fixed by this statute. It was a little sop thrown to labor by the republican legislature, ami like all their acts for the laboring man’s benefit (?) played right into the hands of the large contractors and capitalists. The silly twaddle of Marshall in trying to inject the Newton county seat trouble into the republican Judicial convention muddle is not worth a passing notice. The circuit judge can neither befriend or injure Kentland, and so far as that office is concerned it could not make one iota of difference whether he comes from Rensselaer, Morocco or Kentland. Only the densely ignorant can be misled by such rot as this. Admit the truth, that it was the intention to select the delegates to the judicial convention by precincts until a note of alarm was sent over from Remington by one of the machine’s henchmen that Cummings was almost sure to get two and perhaps three delegates from Carpenter tp. Then the “sure thing,” disfranchising plan was adopted.

NATIONAL SUBSIDY SCHEME.

its Denunciation by a Prominent Republican Organ. The ship subsidy bill is looked on by wise men in the republican party with grave misgivings. It is one of the most dangerous measures ever introduced in congress. While it has the support of the pachydermantous members of the majority-r-many of them new to public life —it has not the approval of the safest counselors of the republican party in the senate or out of it. Senator Allison called attention last week to the fact that the senate is unwilling to repose discretion in the heads of departments, even to hire their own clerks — to fix the number or compensation of their immediate assistants —but that in this instance it proposes to give them an indefinite power to draw upon the treasury for subsidies for an unknown number of ships for an indeterminate period of time. Senator Spooner scents danger from afar off, when he proposes to reserve to congress the authority to terminate the provisions of this bill at any time. That is a privilege now reserved by municipalities in many instances when granting franchises. Senator Allison points out the alarming nature of the bill when he proposes an amendment providing that no contracts shall be made under the postal subsidy provisions of it after 1910, and that no contract made under it shall extend beyond the year 1920. As the bill reads it authorizes the postmaster-general to enter into contracts for a term of not less than five nor more than fifteen years. The senator proposes that there shall be a definite period when the postal subsidy scheme shall end and congress have an opportunity to determine whether it shall be continued. Another proposed amendment—a most important one—limits the amount of mail pay to $5,000,000 a year until 1907 and thereafter to $8,000,000. There is no limitation in the bill. Senator Frye roughly estimates the cost of carrying the ocean mails at $4,700,000. In view of the high rate of compensation to be allowed that estimate, unless strictly limited by law, soon will be far exceeded.

Another amendment which Senator Allison is to offer provides that no vessel engaged in foreign trade shall be entitled to full subsidy unless it shall have cleared from an American port with at least 50 per cent, of the cargo capacity, and that the subsidy paid such vessels shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction of the cargo below 50 per cent, of capacity. As the bill stands it provides for the payment of a fixed sum for each gross registered ton for each 100 nautical miles sailed. Under this bill a ship may sail in ballast, or with next to no cargo, and yet draw as large a subsidy as if loaded down to the gunwales with American products. One of the professed objects of this bill is “to promote commerce.” It is really a bill to promote subsidy-grabbing and to keep afloat wretched old hulks which will be sailed “for subsidy only.” All these amendments constitute a severe and searching indictment of the subsidy scheme. Manifestly the bill is drawn vaguely but not carelessly. The vagueness is premeditated. It is part of the game. The authors and promoters of the bill wish to puncture the treasury and keep the whole wide open. They do not wish anybody to “stand by” with a plug or stopper for the leaks they propose to make and maintain for an indefinite period. The Tribune disrespectfully submits that the subsidy bill is a high price to pay for the support of the Pennsylvania railroad in national campaigns in states where it is not needed. The republican party can, unaided, carry Pensylvania if it can carry any state. When it can not honestly carry Ohio it cannot carry the country, and does not deserve to carry it. The effrontery of the subsidy proceedings is the amazing and discouraging feature of it. When any considerable number of re-' publican senators become so case-" hardened that they can introduce and insist upon the passage of a measure of this character they are evidently preparing the way for a serious public rebuke of their party. That party, when the money question is out of the way, does not stand before the country in an unassailable position. Its alliances with the money power in the East have given rise to much I popular discontent in the West. When a partnership of this kind is avowed, and is proclaimed to the whole country as being a recognized compact, it is an invitation to a popular uprising which cannot be overlooked. Such an '

invitation will be swiftly followed by an acceptance in quarters where it is least looked for or desired.—Chicago Tribune (repj
