REPCBLICAN DECEPTION.

Even in the matter of sugar,
says the Covington Common.
wealth, Of which the Republicans
talk SO much, there is an example
of their method Of imposing a tax
on the people in such a way that
it doesn't appear except upon
close inspection, although they
pay it all the same. IL you ask a
housekeeper how much he pays
for domestic sugar, he will tel
You it costs him FIVE cents pei
pound; but little intelligent re
Election will convince him that hs
pays seven cents per pound, OF
forty per cent. more than the APP
parent price. The bounty of two
cents per pound comes out of tho
u. s. treasury, but the revenues
of that department come from thu
people, and hence the sugar boun
ty is paid by the consumers o
that article, and no estimate of III
cost that does not include Tho
bounty is correct. Who gets Tho
benefit Of this bounty As will
the tariff aud all other tinancia
measures of the Republican par
ty the subsidy goes to the manu-
facturers Of domestic sugar, who
take fifteen or twenty millions an
nually out OF the public treasury
and of course contribute part
of II to the campaign funds Of the
party that Is so generous with the
peoples money.

Indiana Democrats will present

didacy cannot be fully estimated
until after the Ohio election in
November. With Cleveland elm.

McKinleyism in Ohio would al.
most certainly make Gov. Camp.

Democratic nomination. His fail.
ure TO obtain New YOrk's support
in the convention may take him
entirely out Of the field of avail

astute political observers that the
shelving Of Cleveland would in no
wise improve Gov. Hills chances.
The trend of sentiment is that the
failure to nominate Grover Cleve.

must find its candidate outside Of

able, however, that the surplus OF

large, and 1t is not impossible that
the demand for it on the continent
of Europe may be stimulated by
the short supply Of wheat, rye and
other cereals. 1t has been sug.

War ana W ar.

The English forces have occn.
pied the little island of Mitylene.
a possession of Turkey, and the
whole of Europe is again talking
war. Russia and France don't
like it, and it is said that Russia
will demand to know the reason
why, and il the answer is not sat.
lsiactory that the Car will answer
with cannon. Fifty years ago
these nations would already have
been at each others throats, but
the moral sentiment or the age is
so great against Kings and En-.
perors using their fellow.men as
food for cannon that these poten.
tates must curb their ambitions
and caprices. An ill-advised war,
and all wars are il.advised and
monstrous, endangers the crowns
upon their heads; and happily for
humanity, the present threatened
carnage will be averted.

ADVICE TO SOUTHERN NEGROES

Andrew J. Carothers, of Hons.
ton, Texas, for years at the head
of the Colored Alliance in the
South, is out in an open letter TO
his people warning them against
the Humphreys scheme of de-
manj'ing exorbitant prices for cot.
ton picking. He denouuces the
author Of the scheme, as well as
the plan itself, and urges the ne.
grOes to live in harmony with the
white farmers, alleging the closely
interviewer interests of the two
classes as q reason in a business
light, and the danger of stirring
up strife as a further incentive
TO peace and quiet in all particu
lars. He says that IL cotton was
bringing 10 or IL cents a better
price for picking could in justice
be demanded, but that at present
rates no man can pay an advance.

with the appropriation for plant for the
manufacture Of jute at the penitentiary. A
voucher for $4,000 was presented yester-
closed the fact that, while the legislature
undoubtedly intended to re-enact an old
appropriation, it did not fully comply with
the provisions of sections and s of the
constitution. In consequence, work on
the penitentiary will be suspended until
the attorney generals opinion is secured.
