shows that the average Democratic major.
ity of Bridgeport. Conn.,, has been about
LOO. At any time it has been considered
perfectly safe to count on thousand.
which may be regarded as the normal con-
dition Of that city But in the municipal
election of April 6 this was transformed
into Republican majority of $50 for
Mayor and 1000 for Tax Collector, which
has carried CONSERVATION into the oppo-
sition ranks.
This remarkable transformation has
been attributed, and with apparent reason.
TO the effect of superserviceabie interfer-
cnce by Governor Hill, Of New York, who.
il will be remembered, in an access of ego
tism undertook to settle Connecticut's po-
litical difficulties by declining to honor
requisi;ion from Bulkeey. her acting Gov
ernor. As might have been anticipated bv
any careful student of human nature, and
of Yankee human nature in particular.
this was exasperating to many sons of
Connecticut who are sensitive about the
right of her people to self government, and
their capacity 10 settle their local differ
cnces of and for themselves, in their own
way and their own time
Many husbands and wives may Quarrel.
but there are few of them who care TO have
outsiders interfere and assume TO settle
their difficulties. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis of Connecticut had their strong pre-.
delictions for or against Buckley, Morris
or Merwin, and each claimed, exercised
and enjoyed the high American preroga-
tive of abusing the favorite of the other.
But on this species of enjoyment it is Gus
tomary to draw a line. That line, pretty
generally in this country, especially in
reference to such matters as this. is the
boundary line of the commonwealth.
And so il has happened that many Con-
necticut Democrats who would have hesi-
tatcd At no promising expedient for GUST
ing Buckley from the gubernatoriai office.
were "up i'll arms and ready for the frayn
when their state vas insulted in his per-
son, than whom none other among them
had assumed TO affix the grea. seal of Con-
nectieut 10 necessary document for the
reclamation of a fugitive criminal So
long as they had not oustesi Governor
Buckley their patriotic souls revolted at
the idea OF the Governor of a foreign state
undertaking to Gust him.
Thus, judging from the Bridgeport re-
turns, and conceding that the true reason
has been given for the groundswell, Gov

CONTROL OF THE SUGAR TRADE.

new York, April l3.-Reports have been cur
combination has been formed between the sugar
trust, all of the Eastern refiners, and the
Wholesale Grocers' Association, to acquire .
complete control of the sugar trade. 1t is
known negotiations have been pending between
the independent re6ners, the sugar trust and
the Wholesale dealers, to handle sugars refined
In this country aud boycott the refined sugar
of foreign countries So far the deal has resulted
only in an association of refners 1t Is stated
today that Claus spreckels, E. C. Knight, Harri-
son Fraser, and all the independent sugar re-
finers, have entered into an agreement with the
trust to work In harmony with its managers and
produce only their pro rata share of the entire
production, which will be limited to sales made
in advance by wholesale gfocers.
One Of the largest sugar dealers In the city
ers are now making profit of only is cents
per pound on the sugar handled by them. They
are restricted to this profit because otherwise
foreign beet sugar would come to the market in
such quantities as to prevent the placing of the
product of American refners. Today
kilograms were received asking for QUO
tations in German beet sugar and that
article, favored as it Is by high bounty to the
producer from the German government, is
looking up probably as a menace to the refining
business here. There will be no attempt to boy
colt it, however but the individual refners and
the trust, acting together, will take whatever
steps they deem necessary to prevent it or any
other foreign refined sugar finding market

Jackson, the colored janitor Of the postofnce
at Baltimore, was responsible for a good joke
on Theodore Roosevelt, the Civil Service Com
missioner, the other day, and the latter enjoyed
ii no less than the others present Roosevelt,
escorted by Charles J. Bonaparte, had been
investigating for contributions for political pur-
poses by postoffice employees anent the late
Republican primaries in Baltimore. He was
especially yigilant to discover whether s'money
had been paid on government property" that
is, within the postofice premises. At noon he
suspended work to take lunch, and gave Jackson
a dollar and an order for four sandwiches for
himself and Bonaparte. These cost 10 cents,
leaving 60 cents change, which Roosevelt told
Jackson to keep But the latter declined, giving
as a reason that he did not want to violate the
law by .taking money on government property"
Thus was exploded another favorite aspersion
of the American negro, that he has no sense of
humor. After this exhibition Of it, however, he
also proved that he was thrifty by allowing
himself to be persuaded that he might lawfully
take the money.
