Is it Free Sugar 2

After all, when it developes.that we pay
some SIS. 100000 bounty, is it any differ
ence whether we pay the additional tax
on the clothes, tlnware, &C., or pay the
original cost Of sugar S-Keyser Tribune.
Yes, quite difference. If the bounty
given to the producers in this country
amounts to SIS 600, 900, which must natur.
ally be distributed at home where every
person in the bounds of the United States
get the benefit of it almost directly, it Ger.
talnly is better than sending abroad for
sugar. The producer must necessarily
meet his expenses, pay the laborers, and
this circulates the money in our immedi-
ate midst, where we get the benefit of it in
stead of sending il to country, probably,
never to return. And if the bounty in con
ueciion with the original cost be more than
sugar can be purchased in other countries
(proyidlng the difference is not beyond
reason) we still can afford to pay the ad-
vance to the producer, as in the exchange
of money at home, a profit IS made for
ourselves In all transactions, which would
Offset the little variation. Clothing, and
other articles that can be manufactured
in this country can be looked at In the
same light. Why any person living In any
country would object to home protection
first, we are unable to see. First serve
the people with whom we are closely al
lied to, and then if we can help other
powers, do all we can for their promotion.

MISS VIRGINIA S. NosBY FASCINATED lBY
AN ADvENTURER - BEVERLY Mostly


MISS VIRGINIA S. MOsBY FASCINATED BY
AN ADVENTURE - BEVERLY Mostly
SHOOTS AT A COUNT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. ll.-The de.
tails have just leaked ont of an affair here
which is connected with the names of
several prominent people, and which
nearly resulted in a tragedy. Count
Mitkiewitz. who became widely known
through his connection with the Wharton
Barker Chinese International bank scheme
resides III this city with his wife. Six
months ago a man named Miller came TO
Washington, bringing letters of introdnc.
ton to Count Miikiewtz from Pittsburg
capitalists, and the two became fast
friends. At the Counts house Miller met
Miss Virginia Stuart Mosby, a daughter
of General Mosby, the Confederate cav
airy leader, who had been a lifelong
friend of Countess Mitkiewitz.
ENGAGED TO MISS NosBY.
Miller and Miss Mosby became engaged.
and the day for the wedding was set but
Beverly G. Mosby, of Warrenton, Va, her
brother, succeeded in having the date
postponed until he could investigate
Miller's antecedents. lle went to Pitts
burg for this purpose, and there be learn
ed that Miller had served six years in
Riverside (Pa.) renitentiary for being
implicated in a ROBBERY at Brady's Bend
Pa. 1t was also reported that he had
three wives living.
MILLER A SCoUNDREL.
Paying no attention to statements that
Miller had reformed and occupied good
position in business, young Nosby tele-
graphed his sister as follows MILLER IS
noted crook, bigamist and scoundrel," and
started for Washington. He met Miller
and his siste: walking together and struck
the man in the face. Miller fled and
MoSby, after taking counsel with friends
went to Miller's room to chastise him.
But Miller had left the city. Coming
from MilleI's place of residence they met
Count and Mrs. MItkiewitz entering their
house.
TIE COUNT DENOUNCED.
lie went in with them and furiously
upbraided the count for encouraging the
intimacy between his sister and Miller. -
Hot words passed and Mosby, stepping
back fired a revolver point blank at the
counts breast. His aim was poor and
the bullet lodged IN the wall. The
Counts brother-in-law prevented Mosby
from firing again. The matter has been
settled by an apology from young Mosby.
Count aud Countess Mihewitz have left
the city for the summer. Miss Mosby is
still true to Miller.

an almost infallible remedy for the Gis-

Nav Lose Her Direct Tax.
THE OLD DEBT AGAINST WEST VIRGIN
ACTS AS A sET-OFF AGAINST HER

ACTS AS A SET-OFF AGAINST HER
CLAIM.
Acting Secretary Nettleton has received
an opinion from the AttoIney-General OIL
the question as to whether the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized and requir'
cd to retain the whole or any part of the
amount due to the State of West Virginia
on account of she refund of direct tax
under the act approved March ,, 1891, by
reason of the alleged liability OF the State
of West Virginia for part of the indebt-
edness of Virginia prior to the separation
aud erection of West Virginia into new
State.
The AttoIn sy General refers to the con-
stitution of West Virginia, under which
the state was admitted to the Union, in
which the State assumed an equitable
proportion of the debt of Virginia prior
to January l, 1861" The indebtedness of
the common wealth of Virginia prior to
that date was over $50, 200, 900, so the At
toiney-General IS advised, and of this
Indebtedness nearly 81 600, eco was due to
the United States, and still remains un-
paid. The Attorney General expresses
the opinion that it is the duty OF the
Treasury under section .34Sl, Revised
Statutes, to insist upon the right to set
off against the demand of the State for a
refund of the direct tax to the extent of the
Equitable proportion" of the debt of vir-
ginia for which West Virginia is liable.
What this equitable proportion" may be:
he says, is not question of law but Of
fact. or OF mixed law and fact, and is not
for his determination.
The amount of direct tax paid by Vir-
GINA was S442, 40S, and by West Virginia,
$153,979. Should the Secretary of the
Treasury decide to use the entire 81, $780,
900 of Virginia's liability to the Govern
ment as an offset to the claims of these
States for refund of direct tax, it is not
likely that either State will receive any
money OH this account Washington Post,
