THE sHEARERs sHoRN.

There is good deal of satisfaction for the
public in the fact that the Sugar Trust has
caught Tartar in its endeavors to control
the market for raw sugar. In addition to
its policy of squeezing the last possible cent
out of the consumers of its refined product,
it has tried to add to its profits by bearing
the prices which are paid for the raw ma
terial. Last year it was successful in this
policy, and this year it tried to repeat the
game by refusing to pay more than S31S
cents. This price the sellers of sugar gener-
ally refused, and while outside re6neries
bought some at an advance upon the prices
offered by the trust, the contest between the
trust and the producers of sugar was pro-
tracted. The trust now wakes up to dis
cover that some one on the outside has
stepped in and bought almost the entire
stock at an advance. The market is cor
nered, and the trust must pay the price
that the speculators propose to exact or else
go without its supply for the coming season.
There is a good deal of poetic justice in
this disclosure that the eornerers and fore
stallers have suddenly reached the point
where they themselves are cornered and
forestalled. Such things ought TO be i'm
possible, with the slightest respect to the
laws of trade. But when one conspiracy
has succeeded in establishing conntrol of
the refined trade it is healthy to find that
some enc else has cornered the raw sugar
market, and will make the trust schemers
pay dearly for their supply. Having dug a
pit for the public, the Sugar Trust obtains a
slight measure Of the justice due it by falling
into the pit itself.
The public must pay the cost of these
corners and manipulations in the long run;
but it will be some compensation to it to
perceive that those who started out to do the
biting have got badly bitten themselves.

THE GREED nF MAMMnN.

It seems almost incredible that at the
close of the nineteenth century, there can
be, as reported, trade interests in England
SO selfish and stupid as to oppose the inter
national effort to suppress the African slave
trade. This opposition is said to be based
on the fear that their sales of goods to
the Arab slave traders will be interfered
with. 1t would seem natural that even the
inspiration of enlightened selfshness should
show that trade with peaceful Africans
would take immensely greater proportions
than trade with a continent devastated and
harried by the slave hunters But this
short-sighted greed has always tried to
block the great reforms of the world. To a
certain element in commerce the dime that
can be got at once looks larger than the
dollar that can be obtained in the future,
and to get it all considerations of philan-
thropy, humanity or justice are ignored. 1t
was that stupid trade spirit that tried to
arrest the anti-slavery agitation, and that
to-day is ready to draw profits from alliance
with monopolies and corporate injdstice.
Its appearance in England is only another
proof that the commercial sentiment still
exists which is ready to make money out of
human suffering and to profit by turning a
blind eve toward the most gigantic crimes.

AN ANOMALY OF LEGISLATION.

1t is stDed to be subject of qualification
to the people of this country that the steam
ship line, of which the new and fast steam
ers, the City of Paris and the City of New
York, are the crack vessels, is largely
owned BY American capital. 1t is settled
beyond dispute that the Inman Line, which
has put these two steamers into commits
sion, though nominally foreign company,
is really owned and controlled by leading
American capitalists.
But there is undoubtedly force in the con-
tention that this legitimate qualification is
largely allayed by the further fact that the
navigation laws, which are supposed to en-
courage an American mercantile navy,
prevent the owners of these steamers from
sailing and operating them under the
American flag. 1t is a singular illustra-
ton of the effect of these laws that they not
only make American capitalists buy foreign
built steamers, but force them to sail these
steamers under foreign flags. If there
should be a war, these steamers would be
controlled by another power, and might even
be used against the country in which they
are owned.
The additional understanding that the
real owners of these steamers are among the
leading Protectionists of the country, only
heightens the anomaly. 1t seems as though
the policy of protection might be more in
telligently applied than in laws which
make American capital reinforce the mer-
camille navies of other powers.

COL. sHEpARD,s DECISION.

The anxious public will draw a long
breath Of satisfaction on receiving from
Colonel Elliott f. Shepard an assurance on
the foreign mission question. The hope OF
rural Ohio paper that the Colonels admir-
ing country should not be deprived of his
services abroad, evokes from the Colonel a
declaration that he will not be taken away
from his duties in this nation. "We will
not take any Office either at home or abroad, "
says the Colonel in the Mail and Express
He goes on to say that 1--WE" have been named
for almost every Office in the gift of the
President, but firmly announces that "we''
will not haYeit. This is proof positive OF
the Colonel's earnest desire to remain fully
in accord with the acts and decisions of the
administration.
The journalism of the country will be
deeply touched at the determination of the
eminentlv good Colonel not to desert it.
Without Colonel Shepard, life in the Ameri-
can newspaper world would be almost a
desert, with only Murat Halstead left as an
OASIS But with the Colonel left to us,
journalists will always have food for humor
and, at the same time, will possess q re-
markable example of the harmony which
exists between Phariseeism and the service
of Mammon.
But is not the Colone's firm determin-
alton not to be misled into the acceptance OF
any foreign or domestic post, slightly tinged
with the same consideration that led the
proverbial boy to decline to eat his supper?

THE BREWERS REPLY.

The local brewers, in = resolution pub
lished elsewhere, hurl back the insinuation
that their beer is adu1terated, and challenge
public investigation on the subject. Their
appeal to the growing demand for their beer
as an evidence Of its purity ought to be a
good argument; but unfortunately the large
sale of adulterated food articles of late indi-
Gates the possibility that the natural infer
ence of diminished demand for adulterated
stuff will not always work. For instance,
regular beer drinkers will testify to the ex-
cessive element of froth in their beer; but the
sale keeps up just the same.
Nevertheless the brewers challenge seems
to be fair one. II, as they appear to do,
they intend to guarantee the purity of the
product of the entire brewery interest of
Allegheny county, they only add to the
facility which any one who thinks that he
can reiute their position will enjoy. 1t would
certainly be interesting to the public and
profitable to the brewers who turn out a
genuine article to have fair and exhaust
i've test of all the beer sold in this market
and public statement of its ingredients.
We have had plenty OF statements of the
remarkable elements contained in the beer of
commerce. The opportunity to determine
how much truth there is in them seems a
good one.

THE FEEDING OF THE LILY.
1t Costs 1925 n Week to Satisfy Il
Appetite of Mrs. Langtry.

1t Costs 1925 Week to Satisfy the
Appetite of Mrs. Langtry.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The secret of Mrs.
Langtry's beauty is out at last. 1t is all in
what she eats, as is shown by lawsuit she
now has on her hands Gustav Broche, French
chef, undertook to cater to her tastes couple
of months ago for the modest considera-
ton Of SIS day. and he soon dis
covered that he had a bigger contract
on his hands than he had imagined.
His arrangement, as he understood it, was that
he was to supply what was necessary for the
table Of her household out of his SIS, and he
was told that his own profits for his services
would be SIS a day at least He found the Lily
hard to please, and when anything did not suit
her had to get what was ordered and thus lost
money.
The result was that when the end of the week
came around the chef figured up his accounts
at their lowest value, S35; paid to help, 81: paid
in cash for groceries, SO 81; due to fish Dealers
S2S; due to the marketman for game, meat and
vegetables, S125 81; total, S225 II. Under his
contract the amount coming to him was sos
or SO less than he needed for his butchers
bill alone. He spoke to the Jersey Lily on the
subject, bur the only satisfaction she
cred him too expensive, and that he would
have to leave and take his sos He appealed
to Mr. Gebhard, and that gentleman threatened
to kick him out. Finally Broche applied for q
summons against Mrs Langtry, but with great
adroitness she eluded service by going to Bos-
ton. Not to be outwitted the chef last evening
served a summons on her through her man
servant, and notified her by mail. So the mat
ter stands to date, and future developments
are anxiously awaited.

NAMES Ann MOSES.

Governor Beavers testimony at the
Armes court martial puts a rather new
phase on that already remarkable case.
First, as to the original cause of the trouble,
the Governor explains that Captain Armes
was given a place in the inaugural
procession, under the impression that
he was General Ames. The error be-
ing discovered, Captain Armes was
elected from the procession; and thence
came the tale of Ilium's woes, horrid war
and the last extremity of nose-pulling.
This, it must be said, looks like rather hard
lines for the gallant Captain. Are noble
warriors to be denied the privileges of pa
rade and subjected to the public con-
tumely of being elected from the line of
military display on account of having su-
pertiuous ''r'' in their names?
The Governors evidence as to the insult
offered to the Gubernatorial nose later on,
also invests the subject with new light.
He does not testify that his nose was pulled.
On the contrary, he says that he felt his
antagonists hand brush across his face, and
concluding that indignity was intended,
WCue INV dCShOu WIN
But does not the doubt as to whether the
Governors nose was actually and soundly
twesked somewhat cloud the necessity of
extreme discipline in the Captains case?
Looking at it in State light, does the dig
nifty of Pennsylvania require that a soldier
who has already undergone election from
parade because his name contained more
letters than the Governor thought it did,
call for expulsion or other severe measures,
for simple and futile dalliance with the
facial features of our State Executive? On
this statement of the case, might not honors
or dishonors-be considered easy, and the
military heartburnings be permitted to die
out.
1t looks as if the Governor, should he de-
sire his late assailsnt to suffer the full pen
alties of military law, will have to amend
his testimony and confess that the Executive
nose suffered from really severe nip.
