CONSERVATIVE FORECAST.

Estimates of the result of the coming
elections furnish as absorbing pursuit in
England as in the United States nowa-
days. The London Times makes fore
cast of the respective strength of the par
ties in the next House of Commons as fol-
lows: Conservatives, 254; Liberal Unionists,
AZ; Liberals, 200; Nationalists, 80; doubt
full, 90. This has about the same deci-
siveness as when Democratic organ on
this side of the ocean figures out majority
in the next House for its party or Repub-
lican journal should see in the campaign
of this year the presages of enough elec-
toral votes for Republican victory
Indeed the main significance of the Times
forecast is its admission of large enough
doubtful vote to give the Liberals and Home
Rulers majority over the Conservatives
and Unionists OF 3s. The attitude of the
English political organs toward elections is
much the same as those of our own free
land; and for the Times to formally pro-
mulgate the conclusion from the outlook
that the control of the next House of Com
mons is doubtful is good deal like dec
laration of its opinion that the prospect is
decidedly in favor of Tory defeat Of
course, the Liberal claims are more positive
for large majority in the next Parliament
An average between the two, as a safe
guess, would give the Liberals fair work
ing majority, and indicate the beginning
of the end Of the Home Rule struggle.

A SMALL sUBTERFUGE.

The asse rtion of Mr.. Havemyer, Presi-
dent of the. American Sugar RefinerS'
Company, that the price of sugar has not
advanced since the monopoly of that COM
pany was completed by the purchase of
the Philadelphia refneries is merely an
Illustration of the stock plea. The SUPER
fetal truth of the assertion and its SUBJ
stantial falsity make it typical specimen
OF the Trust sophisters
The date Of the signing Of the prelim-
mary option for the purchase of the Phil
adelphia refineries is stated at March 4,
the formal transfer being few days later
Negotiations for the purchase had been
in operation for some time previously,
and it is an open secret that the consoli-
dation was practically assured some days
before the signing Of the option. The
price of refined sugar on March l was 4
cents; on March it was advanced by two
of the Philadelphia refners to 41sc; on
March all prices advanced to 3-16c;
and Immediately following it was put up
to 43sc. 1t thus seems that Mr.. Have
myers assertion is correct in the follow
ing sense: Sugar has not advanced since
the Philadelphia refneries were absorbed;
it was put up Immediately before the abb
sorption, and after the certainty of ab-
sorption was assured the amount of the
advance equaled s11, $50, 900 on the an
nual consumption of the whole nation.
Whether the advance will be any
greater in future simply depends on the
question whether the Sugar Trust can
squeeze another eighth cent out of consum-
ers before attracting the competition
of foreign sugars 1t is probable

woHK OF THE CHAMBER.

The report of Colonel T. P. Roberts to
the Chamber of Commerce on the subject
of increasing the usefulness and member
ship of that body introduces a subject
which should be of vital interest to every
citizen. The summary of the report given
elsewhere will show that the immediate
object aimed at is to secure larger men,
bership and more active participation of
the business community in its work.
The Chamber of Commerce of this city
has throughout its career shown an ap-
probation of its important work and has
discharged its duty to the best of Its
ability. But it has been hampered in a
double sense by the failure of the business
interests at large to give it the active and
interested cooperation it deserves. Its
means, derived from the fees of little
over two hundred members, are not suffi-
cient to defray the expense of all the
work it might do; and its utterances do
not carry the full weight and in
fiuence that would be accorded to the de-
liverances of body actively supported by
the whole city,
The report proposes that the work and
capabilities of the Chamber shall be laid
before the public by means of a banquet
to be held in the near future. There is no
doubt that such function would draw
attention to the Importance of the business
organization. If not only its present work
but its capabilities were fully understood,
it.would gain the united support of the
community. The Chamber of Commerce
should be the means of exploiting
the present business interests of the city
and of furthering every enterprise for
their expansion. 1t should publish annual
statistical reports of our trade and manu-
factures; use every opportunity for in
creasing the fame of our resources; afford
means for securing the support of the
business public for projects of importance
to the community's progress, and stand as
the authorized representative of the united
interests of Pittsburg on all topics affect
ing their prosperity.
The Chamber in its present status has
done this work as well as it can. The
usefulness it might attain, if the whole
community will comprehend that it repre-
sents their united cause, is beyond calcula-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the proposed
banquet will arouse the public to full
sense of the Importance of this organiza-
fion

AN EVIDENCE OF BARBARIsM
A Freeport Resident Complains Of Bad
Roads and Unfair Assessments.

"A
Roads and Unfair Assessments.
Robert Anderson, of Freeport, in speaking
of the valuation of farm property and, the
necessity for better roads, said yesterday:
ain the Harrison township lands were as
sessed by the assessors at from $51 to $50 per
acre, and the commissioners added 10 per
cent. In the township of Fawn, adjoining,
and only divided by the township line,
lands equally good, with better facilities for
getting to market were valued at S25, and
were not raised by the commissioners. The
property of the largest and most profitable
manufacturing plant was valued at less than
one.tenth of its value. To show you that is
correct, take their houses, 2l0 in number.
They rent at an average OF $40 per month
valuation is $269, 925 That shows that the
houses alone pay over 8 per cent on their
whole valuation, and their immense plant
covers many acres Of ground and is one OF
doubt whether there is another in this State
that pays as large percentage on the
capital stock. Now the farms do not pay
II per cent on their valuations, and the most
unproductive property that they own pays
between and 10 per cent In other words,
all the rest of the property in the township
OF every kind is taxed 25 times more than
this wealthy company, and the farm prop
erty In Harrison township is taxed from
three to four times as much as the adjoin-
ing township.
"The road question is in a still worse con.
dition, as the operatives unite on some man
anon" them, and elect him Supervisor, who
has no more interest in good roads than the
King of the Cannibal Islands, and just as
much Judgment for roadmaking. Money
that we pay for roads is worse than wasted,
and We have the worse roads ever saw. and
they are getting worse every year. If the
roads are any evidence of civilization, we
are the most barbarous people, ii not in the
world, ut least in Pennsylvania"

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR CONVENTION.
Madison Square Garden Not Large Enough
to Accommodate the Delegates.

to Accommodate the Delegates.
NEW YORK, April ls-Preliminary arrange
ments are nearly completed for the Eleventh
International Christian Endeavor Conven-
vention which is to be held at Madison
Square Garden, July to 10. The first con-
vention was held June 2, 1882, at Portlan
Me-, when there we're only six societies and
4SI members. The convention at Mime
apolis last July represented 1924 societies,
with membership of ,Oos, $50. By January
of this year the number of societies had
increased to ls, 500 and the membership to
100000.
The prospects are that the convention this
year will be larger than any hitherto held.
Every state and territory will be repre-
sented and delegates will be present from
many foreign lands. 1t is difficult at this
timo to estimate the number who will at
tend. So far over Is, 900 members have stgnf
fed their intention OF being present. In
New York City and Brooklyn alone the
membership of the societies is about $4,000,
and the membership in New York State,
New Jersey and the other States within an
easy reach of New York City rises into the
with the committee OF ofarrangements is how
to take care of the vast number of delegates
who may be confidently expected. Provis-
ions have already been made for holding
two overlooking meetings near the Garden,
which will be as carefully planned and con-
Quoted as the meetings.
These conventions are not for legislative
purposes, nor are any elections held. They
are held to awaken a greater interest in
church work ana all religious matters and
the results looked for and generally realized
are a greater activity by the members of the
societies in the churches to which they be-
long in all lines of Christian work and
benevolence. 1t has been decided to assign
the delegates from each State to some par
ticular hotel. Should one hotel be insufficient
the boarding houses in the. vicinity will be
used. About 1900 persons will require ac-
commodations. A reception committee
consisting of 400 young people is being Or
ganiZed to look after the comfort and con-
venience of the visiting delegates.
