The price of sugar is going up. 1t is
because the sugar refiners of the Union
last year made nineteen million dollars
profit on this staple, and they are keep
ing it up, and more 80, this. Of the sum
named, fourteen million dollars was the
share of the Sugar Trust syndicate. The
five millions the outside refiners made.
The trust, however, fixed the price for
all. This year the trust advanced the
basis of profit between raw and refined
sugar half a cent to the pound. This is
nearly double what it was last year. The
new schedule went into operation April
l. The way to smash this thing ID for
the people to stop using so much sugar.
1t could easily be done, for in many
places where now used sugar could be
dispensed with without much hardship,
and there would be no surer way of
breaking up the trust. 1t is the sure
sale of such an article which brings in
the shekels. Then, one of the first acts
ofthe next Congress should be to remove
the sugar duty.

The New York San Friday printed
the following interesting story of Mime
sofa politics:
"The friends of Senator Davis of Min
nesota think they see in the signs of the
times the distant outlines of combina-
ton between Senator Washburn and
Secretary Window to put the latter in
the senate in 1898. 1t is said that Wash
burn prefers Window to Davis for col
league, and Minnesota people are conf
dent that the deal is all arranged. The
election will be by the legislature to be
chosen next year. 1t is significant that
for several weeks past Minnesota friends
of Windom-members and ex-members
of the legislature-have been dropping
and returning, leaving on trail that
would indicate the object of their visit.
Tonight Congressman ID. S. Hall, of the
Third Minnesota district, and ex-Con-
gressmen IL. B. Strait and Knute Nelson
are in the city. They are all staunch
friends and supporters of Window, and
will have conference with him to- NOR
row. The object of it is said to be to ar
range the details of the combination that
is to retire Senator 'Cush' Davis from the
senate and put Window in his place.
There Is at least one man among the
presidents advisers who Will not be
pleased at this combination. This man
is James G. Blaine. Senator Davis is
one of the most enthusiastic and uncom-
promising Blaine men in the country,
and the secretary of state cannot afford
to lose friends of that kind Just now. II

THE fact that Minnesota sent % dele
gates to the worlds convention has at
tracted widespread attention. MINNIE
sofa holds her own with any state IN the
Union in Sunday school work. When it
is considered that the state has an en-
rollment of over $780, 600 pupils and that
the work only started so years ago, it is
easily understood why the workers in
the Sunday shoots should feel proud of
their efforts.

WHILE able Democratic editors
throughout the country are glorying in
imaginary differences which the re-nom-
ination of Foraker has caused among
Ohio Republicans, we may perhaps be
pardoned for calling attention to the
rather dIlapidated state of harmony in
which their own party in the Buckeye
state finds itself. The mossbacks of the
state do not take kindly at all to the pro-
posed nomination of Jim Campbell, the
satellite of Cal Brce. and the represen-
tative of Doodle. The ignomin.ous fate
of Pocket Bookwalter is forcibly brought
to mind, and there is not much enthusi-
asm to be raised over the proposition to
try another race with 5 as the watch.

had better turn their attention to devils
ing how their brethren of the Ohio De-
mocracy can get together.

the news paragraphs concerning it are
no longer given much prominence. The
conviction is growing that the mystery

made public, the police certainly have
not made out case against any of those

WASHINGTON special: Hadje Hassein
Ghooly Khan, the Persian minister to
the United States, will shortly leave
this country for Europe. In an inter
view to-day, he told a reporter that he
would not come back, and that he had
been driven out of the country by the
unkind and ungenerous things which
had been written about him and his
country and King in the American
newspapers.
We are very sorry for "Gooly," but it
is certain he never ran for Office or he
wouldn't be SO sensitive about what the
newspapers say. But we think if he
will change his name and come back the
reporters will apologize profusely for
hurting his ministerial feelings.

THE New York Independent, reused by
the criticism of the Mugwump newspa-
pers, investigated the charge that the
President has been "neglecting ms du-
ties" IN order to give attention to APP
pointments, and easily demonstrates
that just at this time of the year the
Chief Magistrate has no other duties oil
more importance than that of making
appointments. There Is little or no use
in paying attention to the rantings OF
the Mugwumps, but when one of their
charges is run down there is no danger
of finding any truth or facts back of it.

whole country.
The day Was an unusually quiet one in
the city. The continual racket from
sunrise to midnight that has usually
characterized the Fourth, was absent
and stranger could hardly have told
the day, from the amount of fireworks
shot off. A large proportion of thestoref

decorated, many being deliberately

night, with the numerous flags and bunt.

The crowd early began to wend its
way to the city and Front street took on
a holiday appearance long before the
time advertised for the parade to begin.
The various trains, regular and special,
brought in full loads from the surround
ing towns, and it Is estimated that alto
gether there were 5000 strangers in the
city.

can be truthfully classed as one of the
finest that has ever been seen in Man

for the first time introduced. The vari-
GUS displays were we'll gotten up and at

where. The various wagons and car
riages were lastly decorated with flags
and bunting. Not only these, but the
fire apparatus, and In fact nearly every
thing In the column was thus appropri-
ately decorated, so that at distance the
line could easily have been mistaken for
a moving column of national colors of
various shapes and sizes. Everything
showed the greatest care in preparation.
The line of march began on Broad
street near Cherry and was taken down
Broad to Rock, down Rock TO Front and
up Front to Cherry, where part OF
the column proceeded to the grove
where the speaking was to occur, and a
part disbanded. The entire route was
lined with crowds of admiring spectat-
ors, in some places packed so dense that
moving about was out of the question.
Marshal G. w. Mead led the column
and the different divisions were COM
manded by aides Geo. NJ. Phillips, S. w.

mounted.
