. ' Subsidies.
With the active management of
ex Secrtiary Robeson in the House
of Representative! and ' with his
t. aroused zea) for a national navy,
there is danger that the government
wM l-eletl into reckbss extravagance,
either by Imilding a large and tsostly
"navy "or by 'granting Subsidies to
powerful corporations with the same
end in view.' ' '"' ." ' '
ii -o The word subsidy mcanc strictly
the aid given by one ' government to
mother, chiefly for .carrying on a
'war. ' As the practice of giving such
- help bus almost ceased the nee of
that word has given place to another.
,j In modern speech, a Fnbsidy is aid of
some kind famished by a government
to a private enterprise, and usually
- it is bestowed in establishing either
'i railroads or steamship lines of trams
; porta tion. - ;,.'" .'"; -'""'..'V
The most extensive, subsidy ever
granted by our government was that
' to the Pacific railroads. The United
' States gave them millions of acres of
l land, and, iu addition, agreed to pay
interest to a certain amount on their
si to n certain huiiiuuiiiii lueir
For fifteen years the United

; -., It is usual to grant .subsidies to
's)eams)ii lines by baiii theni ex
' cessive prices for carrying mails,
Thus the British government . for a
-, long lime paid the Ounarrl line i $350,
; 000, and the Inman 'ine $175,000 a
. jear, for bringing tth ' 'mails from
Liverpool lo the United States. ;,;
' Several years ago H was estimated
that the Cunard line 'was paid $6,-
400 a ton for aU the letters it carried.;
'.if each Tetter weighed half an ounce. 1
letter weighed half an ounce,

uld be, jnst twenty cents
" -r- i -;

' apiece.
fhe contracts with these com pa-
' nies ended at the close of ,1876, and
the British government having ob
tained control of the cairying trade
of the world, no longer finds it nee.
essary lo grant subsidies. -
There re advantages in. the sub-
' 'sidV system, one of which is that it i 'en. 8hT nely, the Mjnnessota,
,, . i. ' , .iCoIorada, rensacola, Alaska, Junia-
helps to build up the fore!gn trade of ta Swatara, Galena, Iroquois, Nipsic,
a country. 1 here are also great ob-
j ectibns io it ' It is apt ' to beget a
feeling of dependence upon govern
, ment, and with us it leads , those
Beekicg for: help to' urge improper
means in attempting to influence
""Congress to grant their requests. - It
is. also verv hard to draw a line ' and
g say this enterprise deserves help and
that does not. ,:. .,,,
There is the farther objection that
ra subsidy is a grant of money that
'"is derived fiorri taxeV upon all ' the
people, to be used for the benefit of a
..few., This is not. ( a conclusive ob
jection, because, though the chief
profit of a subsidy may be given to a
. tksiSifniA AAtnnanv ' tka . msiiivttm a
largeay be greatly benefitted by
the 'enterprise, and thus - amply re.
, paid;of the outlay, - f j : !
It is the general opinion that sub-
, sidies, and ' subsidy granting, have
an unfavorable 'effect upon the pub.
lie morals and tbe public treasury,
It is well, therefore, that the prac-
tice! has been abandoned, and only a!
ereit public necessity should cause a I
rtl-rn to me system. , , . -El:appcintEi8nt

Garfield is said to have extended
out of a full aud grateful heart to the i
bold "worker whom the chiefs of the

It is, we admit, a very singular
spectacle, this, of a Republican Ad
ministration employing distinguished j
legal talent to execute public justice

in the organization ot the party, aud
who are known to have contributed
freely to the campaign funds, which
secured the votes of two pivotal
States, and what is still more impor
tant, arc known to possess secrets of
vital concern to the party, managers.
But the country nevertheless, enjoys
that Bjiectacle. Does anybody sup
pose this would have been the case
had the Blaine Administration con
tinued? Weakness, cowardice, and
vacillation characterized its conduct
in this matter from first to last. Don

that he was not to be hnrt Now
the indictments are sustained; bail
forfeited; bench warrants issued; and
a Btrong probability of rn'antial

Mr. MacVeaoh. went out avowedly
because he wonld not trust Arthitr
in this "reform" business of Garfield.
What has be to say , in the present
asjtect of the cases ? What would he

TheRobbersonian Plan.
Mr. Hewitt s resolution of Jan.
17, calling npon the Secretary of the
Navy for informal ion in regard to the
cost of repairs on vessels in the Uni
ted Slates Navy, is drawing out fig
ures which SFXon Robeson, John
Roach, ami other advocates of a
reconstructed navy would be glad to
see suppressed.
The hi'-toiy of the third rate iron
clad Mia ntonomoh afford a typical
example of what can be done in the
way of reconstruct ion npon the Rob
bersonian plan. This ship is now
laid np at League Inland undergoing

of Robbersonian reconstructions with

and expense of the old series, it will
probably not be the fault of Messrs.
