1894 will not be far from four thousand mill
ion pounds. II the production can indeed be
increased to the extent Mr.. Gibson suppOses,
the people of this country will produce at homo
a quantity of sugar for which they would now
paw about $50, 900, 600 yearly to foreigners,
and the increased demand for American labor
would be lasting benefit to the Nation.
1t is not necessary to indulge any extraya-
CANT expectations in regard to the effect Of
such measure, in order to Justify its adoption.
Whatever it accomplishes will be clear gain,
while if it accomplishes nothing no money will
be taken from the Treasury. Possibly the
growing disposition Of European nations to
discontinue bounties which have proved I'M
expectedly effective, and have depressed the
price of sugar beyond all precedent may be
checked by adoption of the proposed policy IN
this country, but if so the consumers will not
be deprived of cheap sugar for many years to
come. What effect, if any, the changes in
duties on imports made by the Senate bill
would have on the Sugar Trust is not entirely
clear. But it is at least certain that the bounty
on sugar of domestic production will not help
that combination, but must make Its task de-
cidedly more difficult.

"A uou TN WATCH.

Trbere arc two classes Of men who will bear
watching during the process oil rapid transit
legislation which viii take up good zeal OF
the time of the Legislature this winter One
s that Of the lobbyists, strikers and iobbers
generally. 1t is safe to take 1t Tor granted that
any bill these men favor is bad one 1t does
not concern them in the least what the system
adopted is. or whether it succeeds or fails in
solving the problem of rapid transit. All they
want to know is how much they can make out
of the bill while 1t stays in the Legislature
This is too big question for such men to be
allowed TO touch. II affects the happiness and
prosperity of hundreds OF thousands OF people
Let the lobbyists and the strikers keep their
hands off.
The other class TO be watched consists OF
property-holders OF a certain sort-men DEVOID
CT public spirit, who consider every scheme
solely with view to its effect upon themselves.
The people Of this city ought to thank God
every day for many of the rich men in it. 1t
is they who help so much to support hospitals,
orphan asylums and hundreds of other char
table institutions who endOw schools and col
Ieges who build up art collections and who
make the world vastly better for having lived
in it. But there are rich men in this town who
would Jun an elevated road over their mothers
graves If they could make few dollars more
by doing it. They care nothing for the rights
the happiness or the well-being of others. They
will not give a moments thought to the ques-
ton how best to serve the public. All they
will ask is, (Which scheme will add most to
the value Of my property" These men are
so inscriptions in their sellishness that they
need watching as much as the others.
Our pubHc-spirited citizens should not lose
sight Of this question at any stage All the
yultures in Albany smell carrion already. The
question is too important, too vital to this
city. TO make a blundor in dealing with it toll
cradle at all. The first broad principle to be
laid down should be that there should be no
moro elevated roads. There can be no real
rapid transit except upon road Of four tracks
two OF them for express Trains and the people
will never consent to have four-track ele-
waited road in any Of our streets.

MOVIES ron HOMELESS Bors.

L. is wise saying that 20 reform man we
should begin with his grandmother But In the
case OF the ,present generation u unfortunately
cannot be practically applied. Once the subject
Is in the world and well on the road 10 manhood
reformatory influences mEst be directed upon
himself and tho earlier in life the better
There IS probably no more effective form OF
work in behalf OF morals than that which aims
10 keep youth out OF evil ways. The criminal
is evolved from the corner loafer. the loafer
from the street boy, and the street boy comes OF
the poverty or neglect that sends children OF
tender years away from home influences into the
public haunts Of men. IL is better 70 begin
reformation az the younger end; 10 save the
boy than 70 punish the criminal
A practical method Of doing this work is now
being organized by the COMMITTEES for Christian
Workers in the United States and Canada. The
plan Is 20 open rooms in all cities and large
towns, stock them with reading matter, appli-
ances for games. etc, and invite in the boys who
now have no evening resort but the street or
worse. Each room will be open every evening
and viii be under the charge of superintendent,
who will devote his time during the day to
visiting the boys homes, looking after the boys
who get into the police courts, and extending
u
offers The rooms will thus become places OF
healthfu and instructive resort and centres OF
home influence 10 those who have no homes, or
none worthy OF the name.
This system has been put In practice during
the past year in the State of Connecticut, with
results altogether encouraging The few rooms
opened there have been regularly visited, every
evening, by about three thousand boys ranging
from eight 10 seventeen years Of age. Most OF
these lads have no other III place In which 10
spend their evenings, and without these rooms
would have remained on the streets, training In
vice and crime As IL S. they visit the rooms
with eager interest and their habits, tastes and
speech show that elevating- influences are at
work upon them Doubtless the great majority
Of them are being better fitted for the citizenship
Of manhood, and many are being saved from why's
Of crime and the punishment thereof. The ex-
pcnse Of opening these rooms Is not great-about
a hundred dollars each; and the cost OF main
tanning them is easily met by the contributions
Of local benevolence A hundred dollars so ex-
pended in any community, or needy district OF
a CITY, would be noble benefaction TO hundreds Of
homeless lads. n gift thnt would not only cheer
the present but secure and ennoble the future Of
their lives.

4 R0nNTY 0N SrGAR-

Another amendment of great Importance
commends the Senate Tariff bill to the iudg-
ment of many who had been dissatisfied with
its provisions. The proposition to pay boun-
ty on sugar Of home production, while reduc-
ing the duties on imported sugar, was one Of
these suggested in many Of the letters from
farmers to THE TRIBUNE year ago, and was
approved by the committee who considered and
reported upon those letters. IL was derided
by some and strongly criticised by others, and
yet it appeared to meet the wishes Of most Of
those who, while unwilling to take away en-
couragement from any department of home
production, desired to secure cheaper supplies
Of sugar for American consumers The atta-
ton was exceptional. Protective duties had
been maintained for twenty-seyen years and
yet had failed to develop the home industry,
so that about az pounds out of 81 per capita
consumed were of foreign origin. Yet there
seems to be good reason for believing that
bounties not greater than those paid by Ger
many would speedily stimulate production in
this country as in Germany and France.
1t was rightly argued in the Senate that the
payment Of bounties, though unfamiliar to
people of this generation, had been sanctioned
by the practice of the fathers Of the Republic.
The objection that a practice approved by
Washington and the trainers Of the Consti-
tuition would now be unconstitutional came
with characteristic unreason from men who
sought to overthrow the Constitution and the
Union by rebellion. When the Democratic
statesmen of to-day attain higher reputation
for patriotic devotion, and for scrupulous fdel-
ity to their oaths Of Office or of loyalty, than
the early patriots enjoyed, they may with less
improperly challenge the integrity or the wis
dom OF the heroes of the Revolution.
There is natural difference Of opinion in
regard to the effects of this measure, II it
should be adopted. Some doubt whether the
proposed bounty would be sufficient to en-
courage to any appreciable extent an industry
which high duties on imports have scarcely
kept alive. Against them may be quoted the
predictions Of other Democratic directors, who
solemnly affirm that within few years the
sums paid in bounties would take out of the
Treasury more than the duties on imported
sugar would put into it. This was the pre-
diction of Mr. Gibson, Of Louisiana, who pos
sibly may not seriously intend to affirm that in
five years this country would be producing
over two thousand million pounds Of sugar.
With half the present duty, the imports and
the home production must be equal before tho
bounty can exceed the amount paid in duties
and the quantity required for the population Of
