TIE sugar trust attempted to mastl-
cate more than it could swallow and is
now writhing in the agonies of suffoca-
tion. No monopoly ever created better
deserved its fate. For three years it
has mercilessly fieeced every house
keeper in the land and forced up the
price of sugar nearly one hundred per
cent. It's avarice did not stop there.
Every purchaser of its certificates was
taken in and skinned. To the people
belongs the credit of bringing this un-
holy combine to the brink of ruin.
They patronized the independent re-
dneries and thus struck the trust in a
vital part. If similar policy is pur-
sued with other combinations, their ex-
istanee will be brief and profitless.

BY the Eternal, No!
Ulysses Dispatch.


Gentle reader, dont-don't get unnecessa-
rIly excited and we will try and break the
news to you as gently rs possible, that Gil
bert l.. Laws is the nominee for congress on
the republican ticket in the Nebraska Sec
ond congressional district, as declared on the
twenty-first ballot by the majority of dole
gates in convention at Hastings, after stub
born and hard fought battle of throc and one
half hours. And why any convention of re-
publcans, or even Kuownothings, should
fost such an incompetent, unqualified, un-
prepossesslng piece of humanity upon the
voters of this district for a congressman, ls
beyond our faintest comprehension. The
man is no more fitted for so high and honor
able position than n pigs tail is for a whis-
tie, and it is to the shame of the re-
pepublican party of this great agricul-
tural district that such man
should be even dreamed Of for
congress, much less nominated. Allied with
corporations TO the extent of doing their
bidding in his present official capacity, by re-
fusing to reduce the transportation rate of
freight on basis with Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa, what hope is there in him in securing
to the people the merest moiety of justice at
the hands of his masters, the railway corpor-
atlohs' has the republican party come to
that point where anybody can be a congress-
man if agreeable to the railroads! Are the
republicans compelled to vote the ticket and
thereby place premium upon such unjust
and disgraceful nominations? In the Ian
guage of "Old Hickory" jackson, "by the
eternar' no! To have seen this poor old de-
crepid and fossill7ed man tremblingly try
ing to make a speech after his nomination,
was a scene of embarrassment that no re-
publican convention ought to have made pos

the Russian press interpretations of the czar's

Previous to last week Bismarck had not
attended an opera or concert for twenty
years. He has not been inside church, ex-
cept strictly on business, for a mach longer

features after all, in this rugged figure of
the real master of Europe, who spends his

ers and despises nothing SO much as TO make

So Conjectares 70 To-day--Some of the
Causes Explained.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-The most In.
terestinR phase of cabinet speculation now,
ia the prevailing impression that the Pa.
ci6c slope is going to get left out. Until
within the past few days, it has been gen.
orally believed that California would acr.
tainly be represented, but recent publica-
tion of the complete cabinet states with
California omitted have given rise TO many
conjcctures as to the cause of the change.
1t is a generally accepted theory that the
change is due to the factional strife, and
to too many ambitious aspirants, whose
friends are entirely too ready to privately
make detrimental charges. Judge NJ. M.
Estee was regarded as having the best
chance OF being called to u cabinet position
and it is by no means regarded a. settled
that either his name or that Of some other
Californian will not finally appear among
the cabinet stare. General Harrison pre-.
serves his accustomed reticense about this,
"a about all other cabinet matters. Con-
gressman Morrow of San Francisco ar
rived from Washington this morning and
proceeded Immediately to Harrison 9
house. He came to urge that the Pacific
slepe be recognized. He had blood In his
eye, 80 to speak. when he left for the Har-
rison residence, and suggestion that Cal.
ifornia be left out, brought from him a
quick protest. He expects 10 return to
Warrington this afternoou.
