dampen the hope of many, that the rail-

Economx and Ethics.

The fruit of speculation and gam bling
are being reaped over on the sound by a
whirlwind of seductions and murders.
A day does not pass without some of the
doomed cities furnishing victim of the
depravity which follows the decay aris-
ing from excessive thieving, commonly
described as over-booming and over
speculation. Men cannot take some
thing for doing nothing without suffer
ing the penalty attached to injustice and
robbery.-Edst OreyOniGn.
These "seducers and murderers' are
badly in need of instruction in economy
and ethics," if the philosophy of the
East Oregonian is to be believed. A
great many of us would administer the
economy and ethics hypodermically
at the end of the muzzle of shotgun.

The forces that held up the price OF
of sugar on the Pacific coast are too
potent to yield to any such .trifle as the
removal of a two-cent duty. The price
of raw sugar in the east fell two cents
per pound the moment the sugar in the
castom house was released from bond
yesterday, and all other grades promptly
followed it. Though San Francisco re-
finers pay the Hawaiian planters the
price of Cuban sugar laid down in New
York, prices here did not follow the de-
cline in New York, falling off only three
fonrths of cent. Sugar is now nearly
three cents per pound higher here than
in the east. That is curious.
