INTERESTING COMPARISON.
British Venni American Snbeldlea.
In the report of the commissioner of
navigation for the year 1000 we find
that the steamships of tlic Cunard and
While Star lines received from the
lirilish government for the 12 months
ending March 31, 10(10, as mail sub
sidy $552,21)0 and as admiralty subven
tions the sum of $2215,SUC—in all, $770,
l."6. There were i:j of these ships*
I''our of them arc 20 knot vessels, and
three others maintain a speed of above
21 knots. Their total tonnage is 130,
05(3, and they made 100 trips from New
York to Liverpool.
On page IKS of this report we lind au
estimate of the subsidy that would
have been received by the four Ameri
can vessels of the International Navi
gation company for trips actually made
during the 12 months ending Dec. 81,
1S110, had the proposed Hanna-Payne
bill been in operation. The total sub
sidy of these four ships under the sen
ate bill is there estimated to be $1,117,
0(57. The total tonnage is 44,GOO. None
of them is over a 21 knot vessel, and
they made but 45 trips from I
few York
to Southampton.
Comparing subsidy with subsidy, we
find that the proposition of the Hanna
r.ayne bill is for us to pay to four ships
of the International Navigation com
pany over 50 per cent more subsidy
than is paid by the British government
for both mail pay and admiralty sub
ventions to 13 ships with three times
the gross tonnage and making more
than twice as many trips.

Number of ships 1?. 4
Tonnage 130.550 44,000

Aggregate tonnage 1,0 IS,5U r0S,9'll
Subsidy (mail and other). $770,150 $1,137,COT
Subsidy, per ton .75 $2 2$
That is to say, the senate subsidy bill
provides for the payment of subsidy at
the rate of three times the amount per
gross ton paid by England for both
mail pay and admiralty subsidies.
Nor is that the worst of it. For these
four ships of the American line are so
much slower than the four fastest ships
of the Cunard and Wliite Star lines
that, in order to get our mails carried
in anything like proper time we were
obliged, in spite of our already too lib
eral mail subsidy to the American line
to have a large part of our mail car
ried by the ships of these two British
lines which was done at a cost of
$233,541.75.
To get an idea of the way the pro
posed subsidy to the American line
compares with the cost of sending the
mails by other lines one has only to
glance at the following statement com
piled from the report of the superin
tendent of foreign mails for the liscal
year 1000:
White Star and
American line. Cunard lines
LeU*r* carried, gram?.... 72,011,000 151,265,529

*•-83,51
Total, grams 825,330,773
Compensation $647,278
Proposed subsidy $1,117,667
Yet the average time made by the
four ships of the American line be
tween New York and London was
183 1-3 hours, while that made by the
four best ships of the two British lines
was 17414 hours.
In other words, we are already pay
ing the American line nearly three
times as much for carrying a part of
our mails as we are paying the British
ships for carrying a much larger por
tion and in quicker time. And in the
face of this it is proposed to double
the subsidy of the American line
The Pull That Move* the Monkey.
No Weakening: Now.
The subsidy bill is in the hands of its
enemies. Mr. Frye allowed it to be dis
placed by the army reorganization bill,
which he said he considered the most
important measure before congress.
That means that the Democrats can
beat the shipping bill if they will.
There are some weak sisters on the
anti-subsidy side who object to any
vigorous fight against the steal. They
say that Its adversaries should content
themselves with a formal opposition,
leaving the administration to take the
responsibility for its passage.
That argument, never very moral or
very wise, is entirely misplaced at the
present time. The responsibility for the
passage of the subsidy steal will rest
not only upon those who are active in
putting it through, but upon those who
could prevent its passage and do not.
A helpless minority can justly shift
(ill responsibility for dishonest legisla
tion upon the majority, but in the pres
ent case the minority is not helpless.
It is in absolute control of the situa
tion, and it will have to bear its share
of the blame for any crimes it allows
•k to be committed, lt can Win no credit
by "playing politics." Congress will
have to pass the army reorganization
bill, the revenue reduction bill and the
appropriation bills, besides doing some
thing about the Philippines and Cuba.
The subsidy bill cannot be passed with
out the consent of its opponents, and
they cannot give that consent without
smearing themselves with some of the
tar of the Job.—New York Journal,

The Lincoln Mecial Contest which vas
announced some time ai o, but was post
poned on account of the revival meet
ings was held ut the opera house last
Friday evening and was attended by a
lar«e audience. There were tive contes
tants. Elsie Zichy, Tom .ludd, Clark
Thomas, Kssi-i Dodd, anil Kate Chase.
Elsie Zichy won the medal. The decla
mations were very jrood considering the
age of the participants, but showed a
lack ol experience in public speaking.
The drills by the primary pupils were
the best thing on the program and called
forth loud applause. The entertainment
was a success financially, considering
the low price of admission 10 cents.
The revival meetings at the Presby
terian church closed last Wednesday
evening. There was no great excitement
at any time but there was a splendid
interest throughout the meeting and
there were about twenty conversions.
Ten people united with the church last
Sunday morning, and more are expect
ed to do so.
Last Sunday evening a memorial ser
vice was held in the M. K. church in
memory of Mrs. A. J. Hanes, who, it
will be remembered, died at San Bar
nardino, California, January 31. 1!K)I.
Mrs. Hanes was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. B. Daniels, and had lived all
her life in Garden Grove until a few
years ago when she removed with her
husband to Des Moines. Last fall she
was taken with consumption and in
December went to California in the hope
of improving her health, but it was too
late and she sank rapidly. The remains
were buried in San Barnardino.
Rev. Newland, the new Methodist
preacher who takes the place of Rev.
Woodward at this place, arrived last
Saturday and will preach his tirst ser
mon here next Sunday, He has had
line success in other places and the
Methodists are expecting great things
of him.
Next Monday is the annual school
election, but as* there is but one director
to elect it is not probable that there will
be any great interest taken. A joint
caucus for the nomination of a school
and a municipal ticket will be held at
the town house on Saturday evening.
Chas. Tharp moved to his farm just
north of town last Monday and George
Young, who has been occupying the
place has moved to Lerov.
A missionary convention is to be held
in the M. E. church next Tuesday after
noon and evening. S. H. Amos. Rev. E.
C. Newland and Mrs. T. S. Young of
this place, and Rev. Rusk, of Davis City,
Rev. Caster, of Humeston, and Rev.
Stephen, of L?on, are on the program.
Rev. I. N. Woodward and family re
move this week to their new home at
Lndianola.
