The Supreme Court of the United
States grants the British Government
leave to proceed in the Alaska case, The
British position, as stated by the London
Times, is this-that if the case is decided
by the Supreme Court adversely TO the
United States, IL is Immediately fatal to
our whole contention in the Behring Sea
dispute, while If the decision should be
the other way, it could not be held to be
binding on Great Britain. IL was bit
of pretty cheap sharp practice to bring
the case before our great judicial tri
bunal at Washington, and If 1t results in
increased irritation between the two
countries and pOstpones the peaceful set
tlement of the dispute through the
ordinary diplomatic methods, Great
Britain, and Great Britain alone, mus
bear the responsibility.

The Press is always willing to yield its
space to these who have something per-
tinent to say on the tariff. William Bur-
CESS in the United States Consul at Tun-
stall, England. He succeeded that emf
Dent hoop skirt manufacturer, Jacob
SchohenhOf, who wrote so many reports
that no one but SchoenhOf
could understand about the cost

versation, Mr.. Burgess writes the Tren-
ton State Gdzette, took place between
two Englishmen in the coffee room of an
English hotel
THAT Mckinley bill did it. No, there
really has not been wheel moved in
that mill since that abominatiOn went
into effect. There was, as you know,
rush enough up to that time to last for
six months; there was enormous
amount of goods turned out"
You mean to say" said the other,
that the whole of that large plant is
stoPPed?'
Eyes, as far as wooden goods are con-
cerned; they are doing little in the
cotton factory; but as 1 say, the other
mill has been shut down these three
months past"
'But what is he going to do about it?''
why, he is going to do the only thing
he can do, or any one in the American
trade can no; he is going to move his
! plant to the States. What else could he
do? There is no other opening. All the
other markets are oversupplied, as you
know"
DO you mean to tell me he is really
thinking of going to American"
He is not only thinking of it, but
docking at his watch), | suppose he
has gone by this time, as he sails from
Liverpool to-day on prospecting trip
and it he is assured that there is no prob
ability of the Mckinley tariff being re
moved, he will locate his mill and hav'
his machinery shipped at once"
"Well!' said the other, 81 believe thii
is just what those Yankees had in thei
minds. They want to force our mani
facturers and their capital to 60 and set
tie down there"

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

According to a recently-issued census
bulletin, Vermont is the largest maple
sugar producing State in the Union save
One-New York. A careful estimate
places the number of maple sugar
orchards in Vermont at 1900, of which
number il is calculated that nearly TO- ,000
contain fully $50 trees each. The aver
age annual amount of maple sugar and
syrup produced in the State since 1886
approximates 100000 pounds. Esti.
mating tbs average market price of the
crop at eight cents per pound, 81 200, ,0OC
then is the value of the product to the
the farmers each year. With favorable
weather conditions the sugar crop oi
1892, under the stimulus of a bounty tC
manufacturers, is likely to be upward o.
10000, 900 pounds, including syrup, and
it is safe to assume that between 10000,
600 and II, 900, 900 pounds will test abov'
eighty degrees and receive bounty
Upon this basis the farmers of Vernon
will be paid over S20O,000 from the
United States treasury, under the bOunt,
clause of the Nc Kinley bill. Man,
farmers have already purchased i'm
proved apparatus and utensils for sugar
making, in anticipation of improving tn
quality and increasing the quantity o
their production under the bounty aet
and others propose doing so later. Their
are probably more than 5000 farmer
who will make application betweel
April 1st and July LIST next, for license
to make sugar in 1892, under the bount

A qnick-witted and daring Western
lawyer cleared aguilty client from sure
conviction on a charge of poisoning. 1t
was proved that the poisoning had been
done by means of certain cakes, a portion
of which were produced in court. When
the counsel for the prisoner had finished
his speech he said: "And, there, gentle.
men of the jury, are some of the alleged
poisoned cakes. We declare to you,
gentlemen of the jury, that these are not
poisoned cakes. They are as harmless
cakes as ever was made, and in order,
gentleman of the jury, TO show you that
these cakes are not poisoned, ! will eat
one of them right here in your presence.
And he did eat one. He took care, how
ever, to leave the room at the earliest
opportunity and to make bee line. for
an adjoining room, where he had an
emetic in readiness and an antidote. But
the jury never heard abont the emetic OF
the antidote until the lawyers client had
been acquitted.

INDIANS SHOULD BE MADE TO WORK

A Chicago dispatch of Thursday said
that Gen. Miles had passed through that
city with number of Sioux chiefs, re-
Gently in arms against the government,
for Washington. 1t is to be hoped that
this excursion may be Of some service
TO the savages. and from it they may
take an actual measurement of them
selves. They will find on their way and
wherever they go, everybody at work,
and if the necessity and manliness of
labor shall make any impression upon
them the trip will not be without good
results. What the Indian needs most is
the discipline of labor. If this discipline
is not assumed voluntarily, it should
be forced on them as upon other people
at the point of starvation, There is no
reason why they should be treated as a
separate people or that any exception
should be made in their case. The silly
lcustom that cOmpels other people of the
| United States to work to support them
while they are permitted to loaf as gentle
men of leisure, or vagabonds In ldleness,
should maintain no longer, While tile
American people should not expect the
| Indians TO become their servants, the
Indians should be nude to learn that We
are not theirs. In short, the lndian'
should be compelled to work and to take
care of themselves, 1t is criminal tC

closely than do their Dutch prototypes.
But we must not forget that the conditions
under which they work are very different
from those which obtain in this country.
The most noticeable difference, perhaps, is
the non-existence in Prussia of our poor
law system. The colonies, in fact, to a
great extent do the work of our work
houses; and ii the advocates of the Ger
man system claim that a percentage of the
men admitted to the settlements are SUBJ
sequently absorbed into the ranks of in
dependent labor. we might reply that
many labOrers who are forced in hard
times TO take refuge in the workhouse are
to be found afterward pursuing their
proper avocations. That larger proper
tion are benefited BY their stay in the Ger
man colony than by residence in the
workhouse it would be difficult to prove.
The manager at Wilhelmsdorf states that
but a small minority OF the men who pass
through his hands do well, while the bulk
return to the life of vagrancy which they
led before their admission and Mr.. Davv,
who visited the colony three years ago on
behalf of the local government board, ex-
pressed in his report a very doubtful opin-
ion as to the desirability OF trying any ex-
periments in this direction in England.
On the whole, the experiment of farm
colonies, both in Germany and in Hol-
land, can hardly be said to have met with
such success as to justify us in hoping very
extensive results from the adoption of the
system here
