FRAUD Oh hoNoR.

In the Raum investigation one witness
testified that he had been on good terms
with the Raums and in good standing in
the Pension Buresu TIL he made q report
on Theodore Smith, who was favorite Of
the Commissioner.
He had discovered that Smith was a
deserter, and he didn't think a deserter
the proper kind Of a man as a confidential
friend Of the Commissioner Of Pensions.
So he made that fact public. That set
tied the witness with General Raum.
There was not room enough for him In
the Pension Bureau after that. and he
resi- igned. Smith, the ldeserter, how
ever. remained for long time after
ward
Since the military record Of General
Alger, a commander Of sbe Grand Army,
a candidate for the Presidency, a general
and conspicuous protector Of the old flag
and bowler for liberal pensions has proved
so rotten, 1t is not astonishing that there
should be a deserter in the Pension
Bureau and on confidential relations with
the Pension Commissioner himself.
OF the 700, 600 persons now drawing
pensions 1t has been estimated that three
fourths OF them are dishonest, Illegal or
undeserved. Notwithstanding that scan
dal the business is going on under Raam
at the rate OF 80, 600 pensions a month
The people Of this country wish that
every soldier who was wounded or dis
abled aud honorably disohars ed should
have pension, but they object to be
cheated by deserters, bounty jumpers,
suffers and frauds. They objeou to have
pension become mark Of suspicion and
a badge dishoner-

that cross than million francs.
He estesms honor above money,
SO does the true soldier here; but It is
impossible to care much for honor wher
there are 100000 pensioners out of

NEW CASTLE, April 15-Mayor Frank

that he not only knows what he is talk.

it was said: "Why he Is no politician,

THE FARMERS PLEA.

The action Of the Kent County Grange
in passing resolutions against the sugar
trust and requesting the Della ware repre-
sentatlves TO remove the import duty
now imposed on refined sugars" brings
the subject periinsntly to the attention
OF the country.
Sugar is a raw material In several
importan. Industries in Delaware. II isl
matter Of supreme Importance that these
industries should have it at tie
lowest possible price. There is
still protective tariff duty OF
one half cent. per pound on sugar above
No. 16 Dutch standard, and that enables
the refneries to form trust and raise
the prices.
There is no other reason for the duty
on refined sugar than that Of protecting
the sugar refneries. "Why not protect
the peoplel" the farmers Of Delaware ask.
The Sugar Trust property a few years
ago was worth tl5,OOOOOO, Later ad-
ditions have raised IL, rs estimated, to
1856, 900, 900. The capital is now $S5. 900, =
900. consisting Of &35, 900, 600 property
and $50, 900, 900 water. There are $40
900, 900 in bonds, ss7, 5OO,OOO in seven
per cent. preferred stock and &37, 500, 900
common stock
The trust has tariff protection Of
one half a cent pound by the duty on
refined s1gar aud one-fourth cent .
} pound In natural advantages. The price
OF raw sugar l9e degrees centrifugsD IL
! 81 cents a pound; OF granulAted, Al
cents; difference, II cents. The cost o
: refining is not over { cents per pound, an'
!. the net profit cents a pound. or f2.03
{ a barrel. On the minimum yearly pro
E duction Of l2. 900, 900 barrels this prof
}, amounts to S25, 593, ,OOO
J. Thus, on property said to be actuall
% worth $35. 600, 600, there is profit Of 7
per cent. On the nominal value Of $S5
900. 600, the sccount stands thus: Afte
