The Fry? ship subsiJy bill Is designed to promote ship building for foreign trade. It !a expected to save for the American people the hundreds of mil lions now- pail by them each year to fore'gn ship owners for carrying Ameri can products to foreign markets. The purpose of the bill la to eliminate, to tome limited extent, the advantage enjoyed by foreign ships In American trade over American ships on account cf the P-wer cost of loreigi shp con struction and sailor wagfs paid, yet none of the subsidy opposes news-I-apers, including the Oregonian, have to stated the obJ-?cta of the bill. In yesterday s edition of the Portland pap er a long article appears on the In iquity of wrat If terms to subsidy graft." The article starts out with a glowing description of the present un exampled activity of American ship yards and declares that American ship buildlug and ship owning are today the most remunerative Investments In which capital can be employed. It says that In the face of this prosperity the appeals of the subsidy grafters are un just and ridiculous. Now Just why the Oregonian, which pretends to be pub lished in a seaport town, should wish to perpetuate Us distinction a the only paper on the Pacific coast opposing the subsliy bill is not clear. Perhaps it la because Portland can never hope to share lu the direct benefits of any shipbuilding plants which the bill might tticourage on the Columbia river or tlse where on the Northwest seaboard. But whatever the motive may be for such peculiar policy on the part of the Oregonian. !t ought in all truth and de cency to use only fair arguments against the subsidy grant Many In land people and newspapers oppose the subsidy bill on the general principle in volved In such forma of legislation. They do not brieve In using taxes col lected from the while people In aid of any particular commercial class or sec tionhowever much such assistance may be needed or whatever future gen eral benefit may be thus promised. These people, and such few newspapers catering to their views as are honest belong to a bygone age. The Oregonian Itself so degignaU-s them in the first tutorial column on the same page of the same edition In which the article denounch-g the ship subsidy "graft"' in question is published. The Orcgwilan. therefore, does not oppose the subsidy till on account of any principle involved but, it must be believed, on the merits of the bill. Why. then, should the Ore gonian talk of the present activity of American shipyards as a reason why no Bubsidy is needed to promote our for DON'T COUGH Stop it with Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil. A little coughing is nothing the tickling, that makes you cough once, is some dust; not the least harm. You scratch an itch, and forget it. This cough is scratching an itch. But the cough, that hangs on and comes back, is the sign of an itch that hangs on and comes back. There is some thing that makes that itch. Inflammation: a germ per haps; it's alive; like a seed in moist warm ground; it will grow if you let it, especially in children. WeH $ai yon Brtle to try, ByoaBka.

And, final'V, doesn't the Oivgonlan know that the activity In our shlp anl to whi.h it call attention a an argum-nt attain! the pending subsidy bill Is entirely due to the policy of protection which the government af- ford to our coast Is and Interior water trade, and that without this pro tection our domestic commerce would b exposed to exactly the same mercy from f irrign competition that has ruined our forvlgn earrjlng tri.le? If the On gon Un kniws the facts ard it doea a well a any one how can It oppose the ship subsidy bill for the reawns al lege? CHINESE INDEMNITY QUESTION New York Tribune. The matter of pecuniary indemulty at pear to be one of the chief obstacles in the way of settlement in China. All the powers are agreed that some Indem nity must be exacted. The Chinese government concedes It. But as to the amount of Indemnity to be paid there are reported to be wide and radical di versities of opinion. China, of course, desires to pay as little as possible, and as a matter of fact Is not able to pay much without bringing millions Of her people to outright starvation. Some powers are in favor of requiring from her only the actual value of property destroyed and amount of expense in curred, and a round but reasonable turn for the lives of thofe foreigners who were murdered by the Boxers. Such indemnities China could pay, and would pay. Other powers seem to favor the exaction of exemplary damages of an enormous amount; they have sent unnecessary troops to China, on dou bled or even quadrupled pay. Intending that China shall foot the bills, and they seem inclined to draw up a total bill of claims somewhat after the fashion long since a byword, "for killing two missionaries, or.e province." There Is scarcely any room for doubt that China would be quite unable to meet any such demands, and their enforcement would mean simple spoliation of the empire. Settlement or spoliation, then, is the alternative. Between the two it should be easy for any nation to make choice. Every nation has professed a desire for settlement and has disclaimed all pur pose of spoliation. And the way to set tle Is to settle, to adopt terms with which it is possible to comply. To de mand impossible terms Is to make set tlement impassible and to compel spoli ation by indirection. It would not be pleasant to think that any power delib erately meant to do the latter. The burden of controlling and governing th; teeming millions of China and the dan ger of violent conflict among rival claimants in the partitioning of that empire would be far too grave for any power lightly to incur them. Nor is It to be maintained that a vast and exem- l plary indemnity must be exacted as a lesson to China. It Is not the amount of indemnity that will tell so much as the simple fact of it. and the manner of It, and the other details of the settle ment. The occupation of the forbidden city by foreign troops and the degrada tion and punishment of some of the highest nobl?s of the empire will Im press both government and people far more than any mere treasury looting. The latt.T would. In fact, defeat Its own purpose, because It would Increase the burdens of millions of the common people who had no part in the Boxer revolt and who have no, animosity against foreigners, but In whose minds such animosity would surely be engen Jered by crushing taxation at alien de mand. Reference to one other feature of the case may not be Inappropriate. A lit tle while ago various members of the European pre3 3ome of them reputed to reflect official sentiment were hot and scornful toward the United States hk a country to which "the Jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feel?." They contumellously portrayed this nation as willing to suffer loss of honor and to for?go retribution for out rage and murder if so It could get the cash indemnity which ;ts sordid greed desired. The reproach was uncalled for and unwarranted, and now by the bitter Irony of the progress of affairs It is turned from Its former object fairly against Its maker. The very countries whoss mouthpieces were most censori ous of this country for seeking cash In demnity are now themselves foremost In seeking a mode of unsettling settle ment of which th prime object will be to squcvie every possible penny out of China, and then in lcfault of more cash to mortgage or to spoliate her territory. Of ctut-se, no country wishes to con done the hlde.Hw offense which were perpetrated at IVkln and elsewhere In China last summer, ttiln should b; made to uffer for them and to make all nparatlou In her power. But repar ation is not p Elation, and nation that are seeking a Just anj lasting eottle. ment of the Issues so acutely, raised should certainly not permit that laud able quest to degvnerate Into a mer. campaign for loot TO CIRC CO.U IX (C OU Take Laxative L'romo Quinine Tablets, All druggUta refund the money f It falls t- cure.

The most tolerable sort of revenge is for thoBe wrongs which there Is no law to remedy: but then let a man take heed the reverge be such as there Is no law to punish, ele a man's enemy Is still beforehand, and it Is two for one. Many have lost confidence and hope as well as health, because they thought their kidney disease was Incurable. Foley's Kidney Cure Is a positive cure for the discouraged and disconsolate.
