Mayor Hewitt, of New York, refuses to
review the parade in that city on st.
Patricks day. The Mayor seems to have
been little impetuous in his refusal. In
making the request of him. the chairman
of the committee alluded TO the fact that
the irish cast good many Democratic
votes in New York This was regarded by
the Mayor as a hint that he ought to make
a bid for that vote, and he politely said to
the committee that, while he might be a
candidate for Office next fall. and white the
Irish vote in New York is strong enough to
elect the candidate for whom it is cast, he
would not review any parade for the pur
pose Of getting votes Probably the Mayor
had passed a bad night. If the committee
will muzzle all the dogs in the neighborhood
and call again the next morning they may
carry their point.

That she laces tight.
That her shoes are too small.
That she uses anything but baby powder.
That it takes her long to dress.

That she cannot keep a secret.

Nothing can more strikingly show the
estimate placed upon Senator Blackburn's
reply to Senator Ingalls, the other day than
the fact that some of the leading Republi-
can papers failed to print it, and nearly all
of them gave it as little space as possible
The New York Press ignored it altogether
The Tribune devoted short paragraph to
it, but gives full synop.is of Senator In
gals speech. Blackburn's reply was
really very effective one, and left him
master of the field. Mr.. Ingalls, vicious
assault upon the President and upon the
memory OF honored Union Generals is re-
ported to be generally condemned in Wash

Mr.. spreckles and the Sugar Trust

Mr.. Spreckles and the Sugar Trust.
Mr.. Claus Spreckles, the California sugar
king. has announced his determination to
fight the sugar trust on its own ground.
Last May he was importuned to join the
trust, which has absorbed nearly all the re-
fineries on the Atlantic coast, but he fatty
refused to do so, and his refusal caused the
trust to wage war on him, with the purpose
of either forcing him to join it or of break
ing up his business
Mr.. Spreckles is not only defending him
self successfully, but he is preparing to in
wade the enemy's territory. He is now in
speeding the advantages of Philadelphia,
New York and Baltimore. with the view of
establishing in one of those cities refinery
costing 5000, 900, and having a capacity of
not less than 1900 barrels a day. What he
does, he says, will be in the course of legiti-
mate business, and to the advantage of the
country at large. He will not employ Chi
nese, but the best native labor, and although
he has large plantations in the Sandwich
Islands, producing about half of the cane
grown there, he will buy his raw sugar in
the open market. He will make no great
cut in the price of refined sugar, but if the
trust does 50, in order to run him out of
business, he thinks he will be able to meet it.
Mr.. Spreckles is also about to start the
beet sugar industry in California, where he
is erecting an immense factory. The ex-
pertinent of producing sugar from the beet
has been made in this country at various
times during the last eighteen years, but
has been failure Mr.. Spreckles thinks
the failure is not due to the soil or climate,
but to a lack of knowledge and proper ma
chinery. His purpose last summer in going
to Germany, which is the great beet sugar
producing country of the world was to get
the proper machinery, and he now has 500
tons Of it on the way to California. He
feels confident of success, and thinks that in
few vars the Pacific coast will have in
operation ten or fifteen beet sugar factories.
Mr.. Spreckles seems to be in earnest in
his opposition to the sugar trust. He not
only has immense capital, but the necessary
perseverance to succeed. if success is posi-

If Senator Sherman does not receive the
Presidential nomination of his party it will
not be because he did not put forth every
effort to get it. He is using his position as
public servant to increase his chances for
getting it, and in other ways he is working
for it. His latest scheme is to send out large
photographic pictures of himself, accom-
panied by few modest statements showing
him to be about the greatest statesman this
country has ever produced. The walls and
fences are TO be adorned with these things,
and very likely the impression will be Gre
ated that circus is coming to town. An
order for 500, 900 of these pictures has been
given, from which it appears that even the

his favor. If reports be true, his pocket

harsh and unpleasant This criticism could
hardly apply to the voice of the Southern
woman and the san now admits that "the

claiming in their national convention

We lave no idea how the editor of the
Cresset got such a crazy notion into his

do with killing off Tom. When he was
a candidate for senator and let rail-
road cow-coroner from a back-woods
county beat him we wept for Tom, and
when he failed to capture the nomina-
ton for Acknowledgements, we shed
great gobs of tears and when he is de-
feated for representative at the Novem-

it is the Cresset. That paper insists on

course he will be occasionally distanced.

Cherokee Advocate: I'VE differ with

ers of the grazing privileges will be al
lowed to remain any time after the first

until October to get their cattle off of
