WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE House yes

After re-assembling, consideration of the

Mr.. Hopkins OF Illinois, In supporting

those small appropriations they seemed

charge might be made against the Re-

been found that the distinctive paper
now being used was being counterfeited
and the Secretary of the Treasury had de-
termided that a new distinctive paper
must be used. This new paper cost s 1-2
cents pound more than the old paper.
Hence the need for the increased sppro-
priation.
Mr.. Blount Of Georgia said 1t was a
grave assertion to make that the paper
was being counterfeited to such an ex-
tent that change OF paper was necessa-
ry. II this was true the situation would
not be bettered by Mr.. Cogswell's mo-
tion. He did not believe the assertion to
be correct; and the allegation that the
majority Of the House was unwilling to
protect the people against counterfeitine
was without foundation.
The motion WAS lost, and the commit,
tee having arisen, the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May T.-In the Balti-

involving the right Of the railroad COM
pany to sell at a reduced rate tickets to
parties of ten or more persons, the United
States Supreme Court has sustained the
decision of Judge Jackson refusing to is

The general ground of the opinion Is
that 1t is not an unjust discriminate on
for railroad company to sell tickets at

oided against the railroad.

THE TEST FOR ADMISSION.

The candid manner in which the con-
trolling motivesfor the proposed admission
into the Union of Utah, New Mexico, Ari-
zona and Oklahoma are discussed as politi-
cal is refreshing. The New York San
touches the question by making the con-
trolling motive political while doubling if
the IN. ;nrity of the people believe that Ter
ritories WI small population" should be
admitted to statehood, and even that any
of the proposed Territories deserve ad-
mission at present with the exception of
New Mexico" Its conclusion advises the
Democrats in Congress ''to be sure of their
ground before making States, and points
out that the Democrats lost one election
by the admission of Colorado and ''were
the victims OF bunco game in the case of
Montana"
Here is the difference between the theo-
retical and practical. There is theory
that States are entitled to admission when
they reach certain stage of population
and advancement. But that is pure the
ory only, as may be seen from the fact
that the easy task Of prescribing certain
qualifications for statehood applies to the
admission of all Territories. The practi-
cal question is that asked by the majority
party: Will the admission of this State be
gain to our party or to the opposition?
If the former, the State can come in; if
the latter, it must stay out. The barren
ideality that States are to be admitted
only when they have the showing in popu-
lation and industry to entitle them to it
may be used as preteXt either for the
admission or the exclusion of certain Ter
ritories. The crucial test, however, is
which party the State will vote for.
In making this the principle Of action
one party has been just as bad as the
other. The Republicans brought in four
States TO help on their Electoral vote
with the most tangible immediate result
in the shape of a reinforcement to the
free silver crowd. But the Democrats
beat the Republicans somewhat in the
frankness with which they avow their real
principle of action. .......-.-.-.

THE SUGAR coMBISE AGAIN.

The perennial report was revived in
Wall street last week that the Sugar
| Trust, under its newer title of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company, had sue
ceeded in continuing that policy which
the courts declared to be illegal by buying
off or subsidizing its rival, Claus Spreck-
els. As this report has appeared at stated
intervals ever since Spreckels' competition
commenced to cut down the monopolistic
profits of the Trust, its value without
more definite corroboration is not very
good
Nevertheless, the report caused an ad-
vance in the price of Trust stock, and en-
abled some one to get rid of his holdings
at proflt-which is an additional reason
for placing little fsith in it. But, as the
purchasers at the advance evidently have
some belief that the combination policy is
about to win that triumph, it is well to
point out two facts If the report is true,
Spreckels will have shown the practicable
ity for any one with the necessary capital
and experience to put up competing
plant whenever the Trust puts up prices.
Not only that, but his example will prove
that the competitor can always have a
market for his plant when he gets tired of
competing. Unless the Trust has some
way of excluding outsiders from the mar
ket, like the Standards control of trans
portation, the ultimate function of the
Trusts must consist of buying MP at good
prices the competing plants which they
stimulate into existence.
The other point is that whatever sue
cess attends the Trust in buying off do
mestic rivals, the utmost that it can do in
putting up prices is indicated by the re-
duced protection under the present tariff
law. Under the old law the margin of
protection to the Sugar Trust was 1902
cents; in the Mills bill it was 1@1T cents;
now it is half cent per pound. Proba-
bly, about one-fourth of cent is the ut
most that the Trust can raise prices with
out calling in the competition of the sugar
refneries of the world As that amounts
to something like SIS, 900 annually, it
may be worth buying up one or two re-
fneries for; but, as it will stimulate the
erection of new refneries on the one
hand, and on the other afford good
reason for Congress to wipe out the half
cent duty altogether, it may be doubted
whether it will not in the end cost more
than it comes to.
Whether the report is anything more
than stock market fabrication or not, it
is comfortable to reflect that the teeth of
the Sugar Trust are pretty well drawn in
any event.

A GREAT OPERATOR GONE.
Marcus Hu'ings, of Oil City, Dies Of Rheu-

matism and the Grip.
OIL CITY, Jan. 26.-GSpecful Marcus Hull
ings, one of the best known oil operators in
Pennsylvania, died last night in this city
in his 6sth year. Rheumatism and the grip
carried him off,
The deceased was of French Huguenot
descent and came from one OF the oldest
Pennsylvania families. Marcus Hulings,
the father, was born on Neville Island, near
Pittsburg. Marcus Hulings, the son and
subject of this obituary, was born in Craw-
ford county in 1929 and finished his school
education in Pittsburg. He first engaged in
the oil business in 1860, his family remaining
at Kittanning, forming the Ross Oil Com
pany. Mr.. Hulings was in Kittanning when
telegram was received offering him 1000
fora portion of his interest in the company's
property. He was showing the telegram to
his wife and making some comments upon it
when second message arrived Offering him
$50 900. A third came offering him $4,000. and
as he left the house and was on his way to
the telegraph office fourth message came
with an offer of $4,000 That day he went to
Fittsburg and sold part of his interest for
100000. He was very successful for several
ensuing years, and from 1868 to 1865 paid the
largest income tax of any man in Armstrong
county.
In 1863 he removed to Oil City, and was
among the early operators at Parker, and
became q leading spirit in building more
than one pipe line. For time he lived at
Emlenton. but subsequently moved back to
Oil City. From the tract of Clark. Babcock &
Hullngs, his royalties yielded him $500, 900.
He then went farther south and invested in
property at Kinzua, which he sold out to
satterfeld & Taylor for $S25, 900. He then
bu1lt and became President of the Olean,
Bradford and Warren Railroad. He was
largely interested in the Emlenton and
Shippenyille Railroad of which he was
President. He was also President OF the
Pittsburg. Bradford and Buffalo Railroad.
He also operated in the West Virginia fields,
and held mining interests in the West. He
gave away fortunes to public enterprises,
including Hulings' Hall to Allegheny Col
lege at Meadville and large donations to the
Erie Sailors Home.
While residing in Kittanning Mr. Hulings
took great interest in the public schools,
and on examination day he was always pres
ent and participating freely therein. The
same characteristic remained with him
sitter his removal to this city. Many poor
families will never forget his numerous acts
of charity. The deceased leaves several
children, among the number being Colonel
Willis j. Hulings, OF the n. G. p,

TOLEDO, Jan. 26-ISpecioL] ]-Delegates from
metal poishers' unions in Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Chicago. Aurora, Pullman, Quincy,
Dayton. Piqua, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin-
natl, Akron, indianapolis, Toledo. St. Louis,
Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee
and Youngstown began the formation OF a
national metal polishers' union in this city
this afternoon. The movement is stated to
be the first step toward the ultimate ANAL
eamation of the Federation of Labor and the
Knights of Labor. The organizers this aft
ernoon adopted resolution asking the
Knights to recognize cards of union polish
ers, and offering to do the same with the 4.
of L. cards. The convention chose delegates
to report thus and to work for the proposed
amalgamation at the conference for that
purpose, to be held in New York this week.
The constitution contains rules for the
governing OF shops, for the governing of
unions, for the collection OF funds, for the
protection of members in trouble and rules
regulating the minimum and maximum rate
Der of working hours. The latter may range
from eight to ten, as the local union wishes.
A part of the work to be accomplished is Sc
curing the enactment of laws compelling
manufacturers to provide ventilating fans,
fire escapes, suitable legislation to prevent
accidents and death. There are about 8 0GO
union members in the United States and 6 0O0
Knights, the latter belonging strictly TO the
East Most OF the men are stove, bicycle
and railway car workers. The election of
officers Will occur tomorrow.

NOT A PARALLEL CASE.

Quallah BattOo is name that has little
meaning for most Americans to-day. The
story of an outrage at that place, on the
coast OF Sumatra, perpetrated on the
American ship Friendship sixty-one years
ago, has been revived by the New York
Sun The Friendship was plundered by
pTatical barbarians, the first officer and
two Seamen were killed and others
wounded. Commodore Downes of the
friCate Potomac, under instructions from
Andrew JacksOn's Administration, was
sent to demand satisfaction. He was Or
dered to inquire into the modes of govern
ment and to base his actions on the result
Of his investigations. The place was
found under rule so primitive and bar
barous that the dealings customary be-
tween civilized nations were out of the
question. The Commodore then pro-
ceeded to demolish the village with its
forts in an engagement lasting only two
hours, costing the lives of but two Ameri-
can privateS and the wounds of others,
and involving the death of one hundred
and fifty of the Malays.
At that period and with such people
insure the future respect of the American
flag and the safety of its subjects in those
waters But the Suns remarks compar-
ing this incident with the questions now
at issue with Chile are thoroughly char
acteristic of the gross i9accuraey OF the
Statements that have been made by the
war-tO-shGw-them-w -who-we-sre party. After
speaking Of the delay due to diplomatic
action the article concludes: "Otherwise
in what essential respect would the Val
paTaiso incident differ from that at
Quallah Battoo?'
The historical curiosity exhumed for
the edifcation of present Jingoes was
crime committed by barbarous commu-
rity and not by the dregs cf a civilized

conclusive, while in the present instance
it is conflicting. And, further, the indiS-
