The Bo ston Hcrdld is authority for the
statement that the annual profits of the
sugar trust which controls the refining
business IN this country, amount to $780,,
600, 600 per annum, while all the refineres
owned by this combination could be re
placed by $1,000, 900, making the profits
400 per cent upon the capital invested. If
this statement is one-half or one quarter
Il ut, the trust is simple robbery 1t al

Count Won Waldersee, who succeeds
Won Moltke rs chief marshal of the Ger
man army, is described as a handsome
man of about IS years. Americans should
feel very kindly toward him, for his wife
was Miss Mary Lea, the daughter of Il
New York banker The count hos
long been Won Moltke's right-hand man,
and is in every way qualified to hold his
new high position. Won Moltke by no
means retires from the army. His position
as chief of the country's defence places
him in direct command of the landstrum,
consisting of all men in Germany between
the ages of fifteen and fifty, and who
would be called into the field IN case Of an
Invasion of the country.

The Rev. DR.. Brooks, the third party
candidate for the presidency, is some
what inconsistent in his letter of accept
ance. In speaking of he prohbitionst and
republican propositions to abolish the
whiskey tax, he says THE one would
repeal the tax the sooner to destroy the
traffic. The other would overflow the
country with free whskey rather than in
jure the already subsidized interests Of
the country" 1t would trouble DR.. Brooks
to explain logically how the abolition of
the tax-which by the way the repu BIZ
cans have not demanded-can mean at
once destruction of the liquor traffic and
free whiskey. But no third party man is
expected to be logical.

The London papers are, unconsciously,
MAXIM good many points for the re-
publican party in the United States. When
the London Times says that "the only
time Cclt can he of benefit to Eng
land is when he emigrates to the
United States aud votes for free trade"
it not q ly SHOWS in what contempt the
Englishman holds The Irishman, but it
also acknowledges that free trade in the
United States will be tor the benefit of
England. OF course, what England gains
America loses, in the way OF profits on
manufactures. These admissions are not
new, but they are setting a good many
Irish-American citizens to thinking.

THRIFTY INDIANS.
Sitting Bull Wanted 10 Make His
Washington Visit Profitable.
MIXING FAME AND FINANCE
Tho Noble Red Man Believes in Being
Photographed for Revenue Only
and Thinks Notoriety Is Worth
Heap Hard Cash."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s-The Sioux Indians
in their visit here have shown in many ways
that they are possessed of thrift. They not
only desire to drive good bargain with the
government as to the price TO be paid for the
opening Of the reservation, they are endeav-
oring 10 give their sight seeing a commercial
turn.
The commissioner of Indian affairs, like
most new commissioners OF Indian affairs,
desired to be photographed in group with
these Indians on the eastern steps of the
Capitol Accordingly, Mr. Killers, the super
intendent of the Photographic branch of the
geological survey, who has photographed
nearly every wild Indian in this country on
the plains was requested 10 make the
group"
He was present promptly at the appointed
hour, and the Indians were nearly all ar
ranged ON the eastern steps of the senate end
of the Capitol, with Commissioners Oberly and
the Sioux commissioners in front
Then there was a hitch II was soon ex-
planned by one of the Interpreters that Sit
ting Bull, who occupied position at the
extreme southern end of one of the long files
of Indians, had separated himself from the
rest and refused TO come into the field of the
lens, claiming that he ought to be paid for
A'iiS ~. Ale iliS iilteIts~s viii u
rapher in the northwest who pays him n roy
atty on every photograph sold from a certain
set OF negatives, and the thrifty chief desired
20 add 10 his earnings here.
But the photographer of the geological sur
vey has no occasion to give Sitting Bull a
royalty on this particular photograph, and
before the chief had fully determined how
strenuous he would be in his demand, his re-
luctant visage was transferred to the plate,
to be added TO the thousands of others which
constitute the most remarkable collection of
photographs of Indians in the world
1t Is said that in this collection there are
missing the portraits of very few of the noted
Indian chiefs of any of the tribes The pho

A Desperate Burglar.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct. 1S.-Two
burglars were detected leaving John Bergen's
clothing store at Cranberry loaded with
Spoils They were called upon to halt, but
instead dropped their loads and ran. Samuel
Nixon, colore1, fired two shots at them,
wounding one named John Morris, of Pater-
son, in the legs quite seriously. He sank
upon the ground in an apparently helpless
state, but when his pursuers came up with
him he fired three shots at them,
none of which took effect. The other bur-
giar, whose name is Charles Abrams, and
who resides in Trenton, escaped. Before en-
tering Bergen's store they entered the post
office and rifled the mails, but it is thought
they got nothing. They also entered another

usually foremost in crime themselves,
and saoh lynohings usually succeed be-
cause Of the Indifference Of people who
know better and because Of the
oowardice and utter lack Of official honor
on the part Of sherifs. The Alabama
sheriff is threatened with death for doing
bis duty, and it Is 70 the credit Of ths
governor Of Alabama that he respects
his sclf.respecting sheriff by military
force. The uprising Of society against
court and legal machinery that has
notoriously fallen into the hands Of tn
criminal classes, who are entrenehsd
behind a debasched, dismantled ballot
box, is very different situation from
the brutal effort Of q mob to executs
without trial . prisoner who is already
safe in jail, sure to be tried by decent
court ard guarded BY an incorrupt sheei6.
There is rs nuch difference between the
vigilance committee of San Francisco
and the circumstances which justified il
organization aud an ordinary case of
lynch law, ~ there is between the rove
luton and 4 reckless, causeless street
! riot; between Lexington and the anti
Catholic riot, which burned the Charles.
ton nunuery; between the Porteous mob
and the Stuart rebellion Of l745.-

A MODEL SHERIFF.

The sheriff of Birmingham, Ala,
ought to have gold medal voted him by
the legislature of every state The dis
nal roll Of successful lynchings would
soon diminish if every sheriff did bis
duty and opened fire upon the mob. As
rule sheriffs behave in SO cowardy
manner, when assaulted, as to leave little
doubt of their entire willingness to see
the mob succeed. AS rule mobs gen.
orally find the sheriff or his subordinate
totally unprepared for resistance, al
though the air had been full of lynch
law for days; but this Alabama sheriff
is made OF true metal. He respects his
trust and defends it to the last. The
example of such sheriff is contagious
for good, aud there will not be SO many
bloody barbecues in lawless districts here,
after, for every sheriff will see there is
more popular honor in defending pris
oner than in basely surrendering him.
There have been instances in the
history Of the country, and they may
occur again, where lynch law has been
resorted to from necessity, like the order
Iy proceedings Of the San Francisco
vigilance committee Of 1856. whose pro-
ceedinss lacked nothing of the dignity,
decorum aud deliberation Of the regular
courts Of law. Ths prisoners were care
fully tried, given counsel, ample oppor.
tunity to summon witnesses, and nothing
was begun 10 passion to end in barbarous
murder by a mob. The courts 10
California had fallen into the hands Of
the criminals the ballot boxes we're
dismantled when they were not defled
by rufians, and there was no other
resource for San Francisco but to defend
society against the abuse Of judicial
machinery by those to whom society
had entrusted il. 1t is dreadful alter
native between Judge Lynch and the
regular courts corrupted by bribes and
manned by creatures who have stolen
their title to the bench by debauched
ballot box; but in the last extremity
society must protect itself by violently
wrenching out OF the hands Of vile courts
and corrupt officers Of the law the
