The Subsidy Fraud.
From the Rellefonte Watohman.
Speaking of a new ship yard tbat "is
about being established on the Paiifie
coast, a Bepublican exchange remarks
that "if Congress will do its duty Mid
gives as the means to support an Amen
can merchant marine there will be plenty
of work far ail the ship yards we can establish. "
This implies.a paternal airangement by
which tbe government will advance
money for the support of a commerce
which ought to be able to support itself
by a legitimate and self sustaining business. In this is seen tbe purpose of the
Subsidy Bill whicli will take about
$100,000,000 annually out of the treasury
to sustain a merchant marine which can
bave no carrying trade in consequence of
a tariff tbat kills trade witb foreign
countries.
Tbe experience before the war, wben a
Democratic low tariff was in -operation,
proved that a flourishing commerce can
exist without governmental patronage
It wasu't necessary at that time for the
government to supply means "fb support
aa American merchant marine" whicb
covered every sea, reached every port in*
foreign countries, and was but little be
bind the carrying trade of the merchant
marine of Great Britain. At that tim»
the American flag was not a s< ranger on
the ocean as it bas now become, with Republican tariffs governing the trade of
the country.
Nothing could be a greater delusion
than that tbe active commerce of the
Democratic period can be restored simply
by applying the paternal agency of a sub
sidy. Restore tbe Democratic com mer
cial conditions; trade with other countries
on more equal terms; take their raw materials in exchange for onr productions;
let them have a realizing sense that when
they trade with us it is not a onesided
business, and then there will be no need
of the government giving a bounty to in
duce the*reai>pearance of tbe American
flag on the high seas. A commerce will
spring up in wbicb American ships will
take a legitimate part. It wil) not be a
sham commerce owing a sickly existence
to the aid it may receive from the public
treasury.

have already received while battling for
this unpopular and unjust bill makes tbem
shy of again entering the ting against the

they would again take it up. Their desire
is strong for the bill as it ever was but
as is the tread of another defeat that
makes tbem hesitate. * Democtatic Senators are fully awate tbat all danger from

An Exodus to Oklahoma.

colored man named Foster, from Leavenworth, Kan., lias been at Birmingham
for some time working up the business.
He represents that the emigrants can
secure rich farming lands in Oklahoma
for almost nothing and that if enough
of them will go they can soon secure
absolute coutrol of tbe government of
the Territory. Tlie latter argument
seems to be the principal inducement.

The annual banquet of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation was
held at Delmonico's, New York city,
last week. Among the most distinguished and honored guests was William
C Windom, Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States. Mr. Windom was
the chief guest of the occasiou. He sat
on the right of the chairman of the
meeting, and ex-Secretary of State
Bayard on hte left. Secretary Windom
was the flrat speaker at the banquet.
His address had been carefully prepared,
and was delivered with a force and clearness that greatly impressed tlie distinguished company present In fact,
as the Secretary drew near the close of
his address, the interest and app'ause
became tumultuous, so much so. that,
evidently wearied, he requested tbat the
applause should cease. His voice grew
weaker and weaker, as he closed hte
address, and sympathy was excited by
his evident physical exhaustion. He
finally sat down, and hastily drank a
glass of ice water.
The chairman of the banquet. Judge
Amours, arose to introduce Mr. Bayard,
-who was the next speaker on the iro-
gram. Tlie applause gradually subsided,
and Mr. Arnoux bad begun to speak,
when Mr. Windom was seen to slowly-
recline toward Secretary of the Navy
Tracy, who sat to hte right. He partially slipped under the table, and instantly those near him arose and rushed
to his assistance, among tbem being
Drs. Durant aud Robinson. His face
turned ghastly white and then purple,
an unlighted cigar was crushed in his
teeth, and hte. limbs straightened ont
stiffly. Quickly, by order of the physicians, he was bon e tenderly into an
adjoining room, and the doctors pronounced him already dead.
The cause of death was heart disease,
which had troubled Mr. Windom for
some time. He has bal occasional
fainting spells, and was nearly prostrated
on the steps of the Treasury about a
week ago. It te evident that the duties
of his position hr ve been too great for
hte physical strength.
Tbe death of Secretary Windom produced the nest profound grief throughout the country. The news was received
in Washington with consternation. The
wife of the Secretary was in attendance
at a reception at Postmaster General
Wanamaker's. No sooner had President Harrison received the telephone
message that announced the sad event
than he summoned a carriage and hastened to Mr. Wanamaker's residence.
The hurried arriv.d of the President
created great excitement, but Mrs. Windom was kept in ignorance of ber loss
until she reached home, when tiie news
was broken to her as gently as possible.
Mr. Windom is the third Secretary if
the Treasury who has died under successive administrations in or immediately following the holding of that
office. Secretary Fidget's death followed soon after hte term of service.
Secretary Manning's health was shattered nnder the burdens he fan posed
upon himself, and he resigned only to
die at his Albany home. Secretary
Windom has now been added to this list
of unexampled fatalities in a cabinet
position.
The funeral ef Secretary Windom
was beld in Washington on Monday of
this week, and his remains were interred
in the Rock Creek Cemetery.

The Week's Summary of Events at the Seal
of Government
THE  WEEK  IN   CONGRESS.
The wheels of business have run witt
considerable more celerity and much
less friction te Congress during the past
week. Filibustering has been practically suspended and the talk of an extra
session has subsided.
bi tiie Senate tbe apportionment bill
was debated at considerable length,
amendments to add one Representative
each to the States of New York, Minnesota, Arkansas, and Missouri being voted
down, and the bill was adopted as passed
by tiie House. An unusual number of
petitions and memorials were presented
by various Senators and duly filed. The
committee on the judiciary reported
favorably, with amendments, the bill to
prevent counterfeiting oV the manufacture of dies (IL R 10863), and it.was
passed as amended. The bill $1 4781)
authorizing an additional Assistant Postmaster General, to be known as the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,
with a salary of §4,000, was considered
and passed. The hill providing for the
adjustment of accounts of Government
employees under the eight hour law was
taken up, but it w;,s displaced by the
Army appropriation bill, which was considered by sections and passed.
In the House various measures concerning the District of Columbia were
considered aud disposed of. A resolution directing the select committee on
emigration to immediately investigate
the manner of treatment of emigrants
aniving at the port of New York was
adopted. The military academy appropriation bOt was taken up and caused a
lively debate, hi. which several lively
partisan tilts look place, but the bill was
duly progressed and finally passed. A
report and order in the case of J. A
Owenby, a witness sub*, cenaed te the
silver pool investigation, was adopted,
and the sergeant ..t arms was directed
to secure the arrest of Owenby and
bring him io the b..r ef the House to
show* cause why he should not be punished for contempt. The diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill (H. R.
13069) was then taken up and considered.

the only serious difficulty in the way

Tho. chief of the ordnance bureau of
the Navy has bad published for the use
of the service a very complete and accurate table, giving fall details of all the
built up steel guns now te use in the
service and those being bnilt, from the
fonr tech rifie weighing a ton and a half
and firing a projectile weighing 89
pounds, up to the great 18 inch rifle,
weighing 60} tons and firing a shot
weighing 1,100 pounds. Tha table fa
chiefly valuable to naval officers, but it
is also interesting as showing in a concise way the improvements that have
been made in guns of different calibers
since the department first began to build
modern guns.
As an example of this, the first six inch
guns built required a charge of 50 pounds
of powder to impart to a 100 pound projectile aa initial velocity of 2,000 feet
per second and a penetration of 10.27
inches of steel at the muzzle. This gun
had a total tength of 15.8, and the next
improvement was to make a gun 16.1
feet long, with the consequent greater
length of bore and rifling, with whioh
the same results were attained with
from 45 to 48 pounds of powder. Tlie
next type, the 30 caliber six-inch gaa,
with which the now cruisers have been
armed, was still longer, being 16.3 feet
over all. The rifling was also improved,
and the service charge was reduced to
from 44 to 47 pounds. Those three guns
were all what te known as 80 caliber
guns—that is, the length of their bore
was approximately 30 times its diameter.
This last gun reached abont toe limit of
excellence to which the 80 caliber gun
could be brought, and if a further advance was to be made it must be by a
decided change in dimensions.
Accordingly the 35 caliber gun was
next produced, having a total length of
18.8 feet, with a corresponding lengthening of the bore. This gun, with the
same charge as its improved predecessor,
accomplished much better results, giving an initial velocity of 2,080 feet per
second, with a striking energy of 2,990
foot tons, capable of penetrating 10.86
inches of solid steel. It was the first of
these guns that gave such excellent results at the Annapolis armor trials in
September.
The six inch gun of the future wfll be
even longer, however, and has probably
-reached the limit of development in that
direction. It will be a 40 caliber gun
21.3 feet in total length, which, with the
same charge, will give an Initial velocity
of 8,150 feet per second, with a striking
energy of 3,204 foot tons, capable of penetrating IL 88 inches of steel at the muzzle. This last step has brought the six
inch gun up to a point where, against
unarmored and lightly armored ships, it
will be the most effective gun that can
be used, and it would even be capable
of piercing 10 inch armor under favorable circumstances in actual combat.
Probably the most remarkable gua
yet turned out by tiie ordnance bureau
is the little five inch rapid fire gan that is
to occupy such a prominent place in the
armament of small cruisers and commerce destroyers of tba future. It will
weigh 48 teas and will le 17.4 feet
long; It will fire a shell weighing 50
pounds, with 28 to 30 pounds of powder,
and will bave tfae highest muzzle velocity attained by any of the guns of
the Navy—2,250 feet per second, giving
tbe shell an energy of 1,754 foot tons,
capable of penetrating nine inches of
solid steel.

OEKEEAL   MARKETS.
A   WeU Merited Word.
The value of baking powder consists in
the faot thst proportion of alkali and acid
is exact and there is no danger of having
yellow bteenits from ao excess of soda, or
heavy ones from an excess of acid. It is
probable tbat many of the powders, are
adulterated, some with injurious substances and others wito harmless additions to
increase the bulk and consequently the profits. In onr family we have excellent re-
salts from the use of Royal Baking powder
We have no teason to think that it cotains
any harmful ingredient. Those wbo object to tbe use of baking powder because
of adulteration must needs be very snre
of tbe parity of tbe soda and cream of
tartar they use in place of the powder.—

The Talk of the Phonograph.
A greater curiosity, a more awe-inspiring and mysterious tbing. A would be
bard to find. With the phonograph it is
possible to report a concert or a speech
exactly as preseLted by the wonder of the
perfomers. It is really the wonder of
this wonderfnl' age. Oue cau scarcely
rerlize as you bear the voices of a whole
baud of singers that tbe singers themselves are not present. Every sound is
reproduced, even the applause by the
audience, at the close of each number.
It seems like echoes from tbe spirit land.
Last year Robert Browning, tha great
poet of England, died: Thia year at the
anniversary of his deatb, the phonograph reproduced his voice so perfectly
tbat bia friends who heard lt, were astonished. Tbis public talking and singing instrument will give a Concert in
Lebanon on Thursday evening in tt*
Sons of America Hall. Don't miss hearing and being astonished at this marvel.
