and this would act as an absolute inhihi-
tieu upon any other company than the
one holding the contract attempting to
traverse the same line. An increase in
the number of lines would be
stopped, and while the contract was
in force any increase of the foreign
postal service would be prevented. He de
nied the correctness of the declaration that
the decline of American commerce was due
t, the fact that the United States refused
to pay subsidies to its steamship compa
nies, and asserted that the decline was at
tributable to the narrow-minded policy
which forbade American citizens from pur
chasing ships abroad.
Bursows, of Michigan, in supporting the
amendment, drew a comparison between
the pay for mail service to coastwise com
panies and that allowed to foreign mail
companies, and instanced the fact that last
year the government paid for the mail ser
vice between Tampa and Key West $23,-
600, while it paid only $237 for the service
between Key West and Havana. The sen
ate amendment only authorized the post
master-general to do with the foreign
service exactly what he did with the star
route and coastwise sen ice, and all
this talk about subsidy was simply an ap
peal to prejudice instead of an appeal to
reasonable men. The United States paid
more for mail service between Tampa and
Key West than was paid to all the Ameri
can lines engaged in trans-Atlantic com
merce, or in commerce between the United
States and South and Central America.
Riggs, of Illinois, opposed the foreign
mail service amendment, and contended
that the figures cited by Burrows instead
of showing that too little was paid for tho
foreign mail service, showed too much was
paid for the coastwise service.
Guenther, of Wisconsin, said that the
appropriation did not rise to the dignity of
a subsidy. It was neither fish, flesh nor
fowl. It was a gift pure and simple. It was
charity to the Pacific Mail steunasliipcom
pany, a corporation which congress should
not touch with a ten-foot pole. Were the
members of congress really so verdant as
to be deluded and deceived by such pre
tences? Would they always take t hese baits
of corporations? Were they really wiiat
were called suckers? iLaughter,. Guenther
argued that the subsidy clause would not

Portland, Me., May 18. -The Expre*
vouoheii fur tlie I'oUuwinp Btfiry, and
ises to give names and additional details:
“ For many years there lived in this city
a man whose name was a household worfi
with our citizens. He was a member r.f n
noble profession, aud honored his ministry
as It. deserved to be honored. He lived s.n
honored, active, faithful, most devoted
Christian life, and he died a death that wai
worthy tho man. He was laid to rest by
his friends and family, and was followed
to tlie grave by many who had been aided
and assisted by tlie good man
in life. A stntely monument
marks his lust resting place, and
his memory is still held ill high honor mid
respect. Last week his son was walking,
down Congress street one evening, and,
when almost. opposite the F.-rst
Parish Church, he looked
down the street and noticed ahead
a familiar looking figure. He was startled
at the close resemblance to hts departed
father, and quickened his walk. In &ont
of the city hall, where the electric light
makes It as bright as day, the man ahead
I stopped and turned about. The two stood
| face to face, and each knew the other. The
heart of the son almost stopped beating,
lie saw his father not a shadow, but ss he
was when alive.
“Father?” he said.
“ Yes; don’t he afraid,’ was the reply at
the parent, as he shook the hand of hie
son and walked with him down the street,
"Tlie two who had so strangely snot
walked together for a long time. We can
not to-day give the conversation, but not
the shadow of a doubt existed in the mind
of the son in regard to the one fact -hie
companion was no other than hie own
father, as of old. lie was calm, confident,
as of old, loving and interested in those
near and dear to him. What message the
father brought to the son from beyond Use
confines of the grave we do not know, but
if there is confidence put ill humu.1 testi
mony, In testimony that would he accepted
wit hout hesitation in a court of law, then it
must be believed that a man who 1ms for
yours rested in his grave, or is so believed
to have rested, lias appeared and been seen
by those who knew him, for we are told
that to the testimony of ii is son is to to)
added other evidences of an equally strong
ehumeter. If the man who appeared in
in t! i in city lust week is alive, needing three
meals a day like the rest of us, and interest
ed in human affairs, then there must be
one of the best local sensations ever heard
of. If,on the other bund, a spirit appear
ed, if the soul of the departed resumed its
discarded body, or if. in the likeness of the
! temporal body, the spiritual body was de
veloped, then a mighty boom has been
given to spiritualism. We have only stated
I lie fuels in t lie ease.”
