the murdered man said IL was perfect Of
its kind. He rercad his article and
passed it to the managing edition who
smiled grimly and nodded as he read it,
then said:
Livingston, positively you have a
talent for this sort OF thing. Now he is
dead, the world is we'll rid of the Major.
Here's the murder-run your eye over
1t and see If there's anything that needs
correcting. You know more about the
Majors habits and life than I do"
Livingston ran his eyes down the
proof until he reached the closing para
graph. Then he trembled and looked
over at the managing editor. He opened
his lips, but no sound came from them.
He laid the proof down. walked to the
proof-hOok, found the head and stared
at it.

public that the police had reason to be-

m to now he had no information of any nego-

States Government address the Government of
Denmark on this subject, he knew that the
Danish Government is aware Of the Importance
of the matter to st. Croix, and the Danish Am
bassador in Washington is we'll posted on the
matter. This is so far his answer to the Inter
pellation. but he would beg to add some few
remarks in further explanation of the matter.
The present Tariff Law of the United States
provides free importation OF sugar into the
States, but grants for 15 years a bounty OF up
to 2 cts. pr. lb. of nom made sugar and it
furthermore prescribes that after the LIST Janu-
arv 1892 the United States President shall
have the power to impose a ditferential duty
on sugar imported from countries which ac-
cording to his views charge unreasonable
import duties on American produce and are UNI
willing to reduce those duties by treaties.
Such is the arbitrary power vested in the Pre-
sident. The object in view is clear. T4e
United States Government considers it a great
advantage to foreign sugar producers that they
can import their sugars in the United States

his duties as Member Of the Colonial Council,
he has also filed several other offices of trust,

1881 His Majesty was pleased to confer on

Councillor FABEB has lived here under

We take the liberty Of joining our congratu-
lations with that of Councillor FABER's very
numerous friends on his having completed the
fftieth year of his residence in St. Croix.
Councillor rABER, as is we'll known, was form
erly part owner of our local newspaper, and
came to its aid at time that it stood much
in need of assistance. Mr.. Faber has always
shown great interest in all that concerns the
welfare of the island, has served in various
capacities when be could be useful, and has
used his we'll earned meaus with lIberality.
Not the least among his good deeds was set
ting the example of restoring good buildings to
Frederiksted when confidence in the island as
a suitable place for investments was naturally
very much shaken. We wish Councillor FABER
many years of happiness and prosperity and a
consequent long continuance of his useful
career.
