TARIEE HISTORY

In an editorial paragraph the New York
World notes the fact that, according to the
report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, between S7,OOO,OOO and IS, S,OOO,-
600 was expended in sugar bounties last
year. This moves the World to say:
"The Republican party has patent on
this method of cheapening sugar.
As usual, when the esteemed World gets
upon the tariff issue, it is shallow, with
the addition in this case of absolute incor-
rectness. The Republican party has not
a pate nt-in the sense of having origin
ated the idea-on this method of cheapen-
ing sugar. The same policy has been
used by European governments, notably in
Germany, with great success.
As to the Obvious intimation that "this
method of cheapening sugar" increases
its cost to the public, few figures are
pertinent The trainers of the tariff law
found sugar paying duties ranging from
lac per pound to SIC. The average rate
on the raw sugar, LEVIED as protection to
the sugar planting interests was about &c
per pound. AS nearly nine-tenths Of the
sugar consumed in this country was i'm
ported, this duty was added to the cost of
the article with the result that
the people paid S6O,OOO,0O0 annually
on account of the duty. The purpose be-
ing to reduce revenue this tax was taken
off, the bounty retained as protection to
the planters, and when the sum paid in
bounties is subtracted the cost of sugar to
the people is cheapened thereby to the net
total of from S5S, 900, 900 to s54, ,OOo. 600.
In addition it is instructive to compare
this result with the formulated Democratic
policy. There was a certain bill called
the Mills bill; and that deliberate state
ment of what the Democracy would do
proposed to maintain duty on raw sugar,
which would have extracted S48, 900, 900
annually from the people. Comparing
the two measures therefore we find that

A SENATORIAL SKIT,

Our esteemed contemporary the New
York San has discovered in the history of
political campaigns an uIwritten pre-
cedent to the effect that the National
Chairman of a party, who conducts the
campaign to victory shall be elected to the
next vacancy in the Senate from his State.
In view of the fact that the next Pennsyl-
vania Legislature must elect Senator to
succeed Matthew Stanley Quay, the Sun
perceives under the important provisos,
that if Mr.. Harrity's party wins the
national election, and if enough Republi-
cans vote with Democrats in Pennsyl-
vania to give them majority in the next
Legislature William f. I1arrity will be-
come the man of destiny for term in
the United States Senate.
If the sky falls good many others than
Harrity will be able to catch larks, There
may be those who might turn up the nose
of criticism at Harrity's qualifications,
bnt when we compare his political
characteristics with those Of exist
ing Senators, we will see that he has
the qualities so often referred to as prac-
tical. He may not have so heavy barrel
as Brice, but he is as versed in the busi-
ness of setting up conventions as Quay,
German, Hill, and others of the sort He
has the same tenacity in holding on to a
high-salaried Office that has given fame to
Senatorial representative of the Empire
State. Consequently in these days when
breadth of knowledge and ability in ques-
tons of public policy are not regarded
as at all necessary for United States Sem
ators, there is no reason so far as the per-
sonal question is concerned why VIM. F.
Harrity should not succeed Matthew S.
Quay.
Nevertheless the honor which the SIN
tenders to the National Chairman is of
that barren character which is even worse
than Grecian gift. The position of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth is many
times more lucrative than anything that
he can realize out of this tender of the
Senatorship. Pennsylvania is not in the
habit of electing Democratic Legislatures
in Presidential years. Nothing would be
less likely to attract Independent Repub-
lican votes than the reward of seeing
Harrity go to the Senate and if the firma-
Democrats who might be deemed more
eligible to the Senate than the able wire
puller of Philadelphia.
No, esteemed San. This ray from your
columns will not even dazzle the eyes of
Harrity. He may expect much from
Democratic success There be we'll
salaried consulates, and the position held
by Headsmen Stevenson and Clarkson is
supposed to be congenial to the stalwart
politician. But Harrity is too we'll ac-
quainted with Pennsylvania to suppose
that he will get United States Senator
ship. Not this year or any other year.

HANDY IN HOT WEATHER.

During the struggle over the Worlds
Fair appropriation there has been room
for the wonder why the irresistible per-
suasive powers of Major Moses P. Handy,
of the Bureau of Publicity and Promotion
were left idle. 1t seemed that that elo-
quence, and the art of approaching man
by captivating his palate, which made
a conquest of Europe, ought to be able to
bring a recalcitrant Congress to terms.
From an editorial paragraph in the
Washington Post we gather that Major
Handy has not been idle the while. But
as all signs fail in dry times, so we are
impelled to the conclusion that the
Majors powers of captivation wither
up during the hot spell. The Con-
gressional appetite may be tickle; the
Congressional digestion even weak and
irritable, and the Congressional faculty of
assimilating the Majors after-dinner wit
probably dull and unappreciative. In the
fierce rays of the sun and the adverse in
fluences of the dogstar we may find an ex-
PLANTATION of the reason why the obstruc-
zionist legislators rebel and refuse to give
up that S., 900, 900 to the Majors seductive
eloquence.
The moral of this experience is obvious.
A century from now, when the fifth GEN.
tenary of Columbus discovery is cele-
brated, Major Handy-who will probably
be as lively and irresistible then as now
must be brought to bear and the appronri-
alton asked in the winter season when
the Congress sional digestion is able to as
simulate MIN and his dinners.

THE LADIES GET MARRIED.
Femalo Teachers in Idaho Prefer Matri-
moDy to School Life.

moDy to School Life.
Boise CITY, IDAHO, July 29.-Reports re-
ceived by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction show that the trustees OF nearly
every school district in the State of Idaho
arc having difficulty in retaining lady
school teachers. The fair pedagogues marry
at an alarming rate, and there is a constant
call for new teachers.
Young women flock into Idaho from the
East, particularly Iowa, Illinois and Mis-
souri, easily obtain situations as teachers,
and in from three to six months about so per
cent of them are married, leaving their
schools for the more congenial surroun dings
OF homes. There are in Idaho SO many more
men than women that a pretty and intelli-
gent girl from anywhere has no difficulty in
securing more admirers than she knows
what to do with. The school trustees COM
marry and desert their schools in the middle
of the terms, thus causing much inconven-
ience and loss of time.
It is suggested that only male teachers be
employed In order that this trouble may be
avoided, and although the expense will be
much greater, this may be done. The State
superintendent has on file letters from over
positions in Idaho, and he is inclined to be-
l1eve that about five-SiXths of the applicants
having heard of 1daho's fame as matri-
monial fold are more anxious to come here
in search of a rich husband than to instruct
the hardy youth of the State. If any more
women are employed this year they will be
compelled to sign an iron-Dound contract
not to marry during the school terms, and
generous share of their salary will be re-
tanned as q surety.

SAFETY OR SPEED.

The City of Paris, soon to become a
part of the American merchant marine
by grace of special privileges, recently
knocked off thirty-one minutes from the
transatlantic record, and holds the broom
once more as the champion flyer of the
seas. The feat is duly noted in all the
papers, and great credit is given to the
steamer for beating the record. But some
other features of the same policy of
record beating DO not gain The same atten-
ton.
A short time before the City of Paris
lowered the record, the City of Chicago,
though not attempting to beat the record,
in pursuit of the same object of getting
there in the shortest possible time, ran
her nose againss the rocks of KInsale
Head, Ireland. If the saving of few
hours had not been deemed the object of
prime importance, she could have given

GOLD AMONG THE BEANS,
The Strange Way in Which an Old Mise,
Hoarded His Treasure.

The Strange Way in Which an Old Miser
Hoarded His Treasure.
JACKSON, MICH. July 2s.-Noah, D. Keeler,
of Liberty township. this county, whose
death was announced some days ago at the
age of 81, was a very eccentric character
among men.
1t now transpires. from the best accounts,
that the old gentlemen left behind a large
sum Of money. which can't he found. The
exact amount is placed at $1,000.
One time, several years ago. Uncle Noah,
coming home from the city. a distance of IA
miles, was informed by his first wife that
she had "sold the beans"
"For heavens sake, Mary" gasped her
spouse, Eye didn't sell the money, tew, did
ye?"
1t transpired that he had several hundred
dollars in gold hidden among the beans, and
that went with the rest. However, the old
man h1tched up another horse, pursued the
purchaser to Somerset Center several miles
away, found his man and got the money
back which was still among the beans. This
episode would naturally cause almost any
one to abandon the bean barrels for bank or
safety de e"osit purposes but it made no diff
ference with Uncle Noah.
1t is believed the several thousand dol
lars, much of which has lately been paid to
him, and which can't be found, is hidden
somewhere about. No one can buy beans
now unless they are run through a coarse
sieve first,
