there are only slight variations in prices. Eggs

The Way Money Appropriated
for the Navy hns Gone.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.--The annual report
OF the Fourth Auditor OF the Treasury says
that the growing evil In the expenditure of
money by the Navy Department has been
Increasing. The disregard by some bureaus
OF the law requiring advertisements and
contracts for purchases made was recently
discovered. The fraudulent practices In the
Naval Buresn Of Medicine and Surgery were
greatly facilitated by the persistent de
termination Of the late Surgeon General
inally making all the purchases himself,
while 1t was practically impossible for him

place scores or hundreds OF miles from the
seat OF Government. During the fiscal year
1888, supplies were purchased amounting to

bought upon advertisement and contract.

II he was aware Of delusion among the
colored PEOPLE OF the South that change In
the Administration would unfavorably af

Governor Cleveland replied: "Yes, and l
have been astonished at the statement that
there was an apprehension existing among

the result of the recent election means that
they may again be made slaves. All this
has appeared to me to be so absurd, andI
have been so sure that the slightest intelli-
gent reflection would dislodge such foolish
fears, that | can hardly deem any notice
OF them necessary but there Is not the
slightest objection to calling the attention
OF all who are In the least uneasy or uncer
tain upon this subject to the fact that the
title OF the colored people to freedom and
all the rights of citizenship cannot be dis
turbed except by change in the constitu-
ton which 1t would be absolutely impossi-
BILE to make Besides. the present condition
or status OF the people has been so fully
accepted by the entire country thai no one
should have the slightest idea that any
attempt will be made to change IT, even II
there was any possibility Of accomplishing
such thing. So far as the new admins
tration Is related to this subject the whole
country can be sure that the lawful power
and Jurisdiction of the executive Will be so
exercised that the rights OF all citizens,
white or black. under the constitution and
the law. will be preserved and protected
and all advantages to which they arc enti-
tied by reason OF their citizenship will be
secured to them. There need be no fearthat
either the Democratic party or its newly
elected administration proposes to oppress
or enslave any part of our population, nor
TO destroy the business interests of the
country, We hope, on the other hand, to do
something to benefit the people. II seems to
me that our efforts in that direction would
be aided IL mischievous croaking and dark

endeavor to inspire confidence and to make
a universal cheerful hope for the future"

THE sUGAn TRADE.
A strong Protest Against the
sprcckeIs symdicate.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4-The Tunes says:
Inquiry among the sugar brokers and deal
ers Of Front street eliclted the opinion that
the depression now in the sugar trade is due
entirely to oyer-production, and that it is
highly improbable that the stagnation can
last much longer A number OF rehneries in
the city have been forced to close on account
OF the depression, notably Knight & Co., one
OF the largest firms OF Philadelphia. The
refners have lately taken to importing
their own sugar, owing to the inability OF
regular Importers to do so, because of the
losses they sustained from low prices and
heavy rates. A prominent merchant said II
dontthink the Spreckels syndicate interferes
very much with Eastern refneries because
freights would make big hole In the profits
OF course we Eastern refners would be glad
TO see the Hawaiian treaty abrogated. We
do not think II fair that one country's pro-
ducts should be admitted free into the United
States and a heavy duty paid on similar
products from another country. The aver
age In the cropis so vastly dissimilar, too :
In Cuba 300 tons Of sugar are obtained from
an acre; in the Hawaiian Island 1000. We
should have sugar free OF duty from all
countries II at all, but we don't want to see
