A good housewife at the Highlands
wished to surprise her husband by Civ
ing him some Of a particular kind of
cake Of which he was very fond. She
took great pains with the mixture, meas,
uring out each ingredient with the ut
most care, for abe was determined to
produce the best loaf she ever made.
When the good man came in t. tea and
saw the handsome leaf. his heart went
out towards his wife in renewed aifcc-
ton The cake was finally cut, bat The
first moutliful he took made him look
puzzled, and soon he left the table. The
wife was curious TO know why he went
out, and noticing that he had left his
cake almost UNLISTED she broke off a
little piece and put ii IN her mouth
"lorrorsl cayenne peppers where did
get that" and she made bolt for the
kitchen Going into the pantry she
looked at tho box where she got her Gin
namon to put in tho cake, There stood
the box. but the word Pepper" was so
biz that there was no installing the CON
tents. She says the tA,Xt time she makes
IA loaf Of cake she will taste of everything
before she puts it in, and her husband
SAYS he doesn't know but she'd better. -

A mere necessity.

But soothe my life awhile.

Probably Result
New York, April ia special to
The Herald from Washington says there
is trouble ahead for the state depart
ment. 1t results from the payment Of
the indemnity to the Italian government
for the New Orleans lynching out of the
contingent fund of the state department.
1t was not because an indemnity had
been paid that fault was found, but be-
cause the president had assumed the
right to pay it without consulting con-
gTess. The members of the committee
on foreign affairs in both houses are
very indignant in what they term an
arbitrary and fragrant misuse of money
which has been annually voted for some
years for the contingent fund. The cub
ject is likely to be sharply discussed
when the diplomatic appropriation bill is
taken up for debate.

reports to Secretary of Interior that
there are now on the completed files

which number 1919 are original

did not allow such accommodations
of pension claims, nor did he keep
applicants waiting for the appr, val
of their claims. He reduced the
the clerical force in his Office, and
went to work overhauling all the
old files of applicants that had been
pigeon-holed, and as fast.as they were
examined and approved the vouch-

applicant. There is great differ

The Republicans of Texas in their
recent State convention refused to
allow colored man to sit in it.
The convention passed resolutions
declaring for a "white mans" Re
publican party, and also proposed
to cease associating with aniggcrs.
This is in line with the policy ad-
vocated by President Harrison, who
is opposed to any negro delegates
attending the National Convention
from the South. The Republicans
of Mason county are more liberal
than the Republicans of Texas, for
they allow the negroes to sit with

A Case OF Plain Robbery.

1t is time to put refined sugar on
the free list, to stop the robbery OF
the American people by the sugar
trust. Here are the facts:
The sugar trust now opens every
active sugar refinery in the United
States except three. Those three
are owned by large stockholders in
the trust, and are operated ain har-
mony" with it. The trust has,
therefore, an actual monopoly of the
business in this country. The
actual value of the plants it controls
is less than s35, 0OO,OO0 but the
trust is capitalized ss5, 900, 900, and
it will pay this year "a per cent. on
that false capitalization, or 20 per
cent. on actual investment.
1t was extorting less while it had
opposition, but since it bought up
the remaining opposition it has de-
liberately added three-eights of a
cent a pound to refined sugar. In
other words, it has levied an addi-
tional tax ofs22, 500, 900 a year upon
the people of the country who con-
sumo sugar.
This is extortion, pure and simple.
There is nothing whatever given in
return for the money taken, and
the trust is enabled to take it solely
by virtue of the tariff duty of one
half cent pound on foreign refined
sugar. Even if foreign sugar were
on the free list the cost of bringing
it here-about one-eighth cent a
pound-would enable the trust to
undersell foreign competitors. The
additional tariff duty enables it to
extort more than $50, 100000 year
from the people.
The Government gives the trust
its raw materials free. Nay, more;
it taxes the people to pay two cents
a pound of the purchase price of all
raw sugar bought by the trust from
American producers. Why should
the Government also give the trust
the means of extorting $4,000, 900
a year over and above naturally
enormous profits2 Why should
there not be a bill presented at once
to put refined sugar on the free list,
SO that the sugar trust may be COM
PEELED to sell sugar at reasonable
price and fair profit9 Why should
an organization of enormously rich
monopolists be specially authorized
by law to rob the people in this
way2-N Y. World.

That Denlocrat.

g The hypocritical communication
in the last Gazette, signed aDemo-
crat," defending Menager and his
speech at the late Republican
County Convention, is full of Gear
marks" and the man who wrote it
is easily spotted. He is not DEM
ocrat and never was, and the at
temptto deceive is more monstrous
than the offense. If democrat
wanted to give weight and effect to
his article, why didn't he sign his
name, as fair man would have
done2 The truth of the matter is,
our reference to the speech and the
convention, hurt, and the editor had
not the nerve to come out and de-
fend it, hence the communication
referred to, and nobody responsible
for its utterances. The fact is,
Menager would never have made
that speech if he had not been COM
PEELED to do it, before the chooses
would permit him to enter into the
sinner circle" of the Republican
party.
