May Tax sugar.

While prating about the reduction OF
tariff taxes" the Democrats are con-
fronted by the necessity OF providing
greater e and it is becoming
o and more probable that about the
first thing they will do is TO take sugar
of the free list and make it dutiable
again. The Republicans gave the
American workman first free tea and
coffee and then free sugar. A free
breakfast table, in fact, a luxury. by
the way, the British workman has
never enjoyed under the benign infiu-
enc of free trade. But the general
prosperity was 70 great when sugar
was made free that the masses of the
people never appreciated fully the
benefits OF tho measure. When sugar
shall be restored to the dutiable list
and the cost increased for home CON-
petition amounts to little or nothing
every household will realize the differ
ence especially in these hard times of
low wages and scarcity Of labor.

Occur d. Alene Strike Ended.

The long strike in the Occur d Alene
mines came abrupt to a termination
yesterday, and there was great rejoicing
last night in the mining towns of that
region. The first news received in this
city of the resumption of operations
came from George w. Harris, postmaster
at Wardner, to Charles McNaba.
Strike is settled at $3.50 and SO per
day. Everybody goes to work in the
morning,
Messrs. John A. Finch and F. w.
Bradley arrived from Wardner in the
evening and confirmed this gratifying
announcement. The terms offered by
the company operating the Bunber Hill
and Sullivan mines, So, so per day for
miners and So for carmen and shovelers
was accepted by the men, with the sane
ton of the Knights of Labor and the
miners union. As a result Of this act
ion 100 men began working yesterday.
More will be added daily until full
force of over 400 men is secured.
The Gem, Helena and Frisco mines
at Gem will resume operations within
a few days, employing 300 men at the
same wages. Others will follow as soon
as miners can be secured, and within
two weeks over 1000 men, now unem-
ployed, will be at work,
ut is hoped" said Mr., Finch, "that
the prices of lead and silver will be such
as to make these mines to continue in
operation all the winter, thus benehting
many worthy people"
About two weeks time will be required
TO put the mines in full working order,
SO as to begin Shipping ore, Within
that time partial return to the pros
porous times Of yore will be witnessed,
The good news was hurriedly sent
out in all directions yesterday. Many
miners had sought employment in the
harvest fields and some had drifted to
the cities. As soon az word reaches
them that the mines have resumed a
large number will return, fully supply
ing the demand for labor.-Reyiew.

Lease Declared OF.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. %, Judge Jen-
kins handed down a decision in the
Northern Pacific case this afternoon.
The decision terminates the lease of the
Wisconsin Central road by the Northern
Pacific and gives the property back into
the hands of the Central company. In
rendering the decision, Judge Jenkins
said the examination of the accounts
submitted to the court showed that since
the lease took effect, in $780, the Wis
loss of SLIP, 316, and the Chicago &
Northern Pacific at loss Of 81 1904 1859.
With regard to the Chicago & Northern
Pacific, Judge Jenkins held that the
company was simply contract creditor
and that its interest could not be con-
sidered paramount to those of other
creditors, He said the $19,O00,000 of
Chicago K Northern Pacific stock held
by the Northern Pacific Is practically
worthless. The gist of the decision was
that the lease and the payment Of rent
ais and expenses, which its continuance
would have involved, constituted bur-
den which the Northern Pacific was IN
able to bear The judge said he would
hear counsel at once on the question as
to whether the cancellation should take
effect at once or not,
THE FACT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
The following circular was issued late
this afternoon by the Wisconsin Cen
trail Company:
"The United States circuit court hay
ing this day granted the petition of the
Wisconsin Central, for Possession of all
the railroads covered by their lease to
the Northern Pacific, these companies
will now resume the operation Ct their
respective railroads. The operating
offices are re-established in Milwaukee.
Henry Whitcomb Is appointed general
manager, and will make all the neces-
sarY arrangements for receiving the sur
render of this property from the receiv-
ers of the Northern Pacific and for op
Grating the same. The financial and &C.
counting departments will be in charge
of Vice President Frederick Abbott"

In Is matter for much regret that the
savagery of the people marred the splen-
did beginning at Roanoke, Va, Of the
reform that the people of the South
need most, A negro had committed a
brutal crime, and the mob wanted to
hang or burn him. In most parts of
the South that would have been the end
of it, and the local authorities would
have accepted the solution as entirely
satisfactory. But the mayor of Roam
oke called on the militia for assistance
and when the would be-lynchers came
after their victim and opened fire it was
returned with such good effect by the
authorities that eight men we're killed
outright and several have since died.
Afterward the negro was caught and
hanged, his body being burned later
with true Southern chivalry; while the
mayor and the militia commander, who
dared to stand up for law and order,
had to go into hiding to escape public
vengenaLce. The administration of
punishment and the execution of re-
yenge by unauthorized hands has been
the reproach, and is still the curse Of
this country. The stern retribution
melted out by the vigilantes of the front
Ter has deteriorated to the White Cap
atrocities of the semi civilized states
and the negro butcheries of the barbaric
South. There is no longer the old e1-
cuse of having to protect the virtue of
woman, but colored people are shot
down or rosted TO death for assaults on
men, or for being related to some chance
offender. To have even a slight check
put upon the alarming increase of this
infamy would be worth great many
lives of the sort that go to made up a
lynching bee.

THE Worlds Fair executive commit
tee did the sensible thing in announcing
that the date OF closing the exposition
would not be changed, An extension
into the winter would be proftless, for
the attendance after the raw north
winds began to sweep down the lake and
across Jackson Park would be small.
At the same time many might defer
their visit in the expectation of an ex-
tension and thus remain away altogether
wien they realized how unpleasant 8
winter visit would be. The executive
committee did right in setting the mat
ter at rest promptly and irreyocably.

PaDer Currency.

The latest official statement of the
Treasury department shows that the
present volume of the paper currency in
tie United States is $l,112,09l 1913.
The denomination most largely issued is
ten-dollar bills, of which there is S3I2,-
O34, 400 in circulation. Next come
tive-dollar bills, amounting to 1858, 3S7,-
500; next, twenty dollar bills, to the
amount of $23S, 5S7 800, and then one
hundred bills, to the amount of $75, 829,-
100 There are $39 500, 353 in one-dol-
lar bills, S31, 1922 in twos, S20,I42,.
900 in five hundreds, $45, AL 800 in
thousands, $14,S75,000 in five thous-
ands, and S34,620,O00 in ten thousands
A law doing away with bills of less
denomination than ten dollars and gold
coin of less denomination than the low
est bill would bring about S324,O0O,0OO
IN silver In circulation. 1t might, how
ever, be found necessary to coin fve-dol-
lar gold pieces, even if the smallest bill
was of the ten denomination. The rest
of the gold and silver coin could be kept
for the redemption of notes that might
be presented. The demand for coin
would depend largely upon the conf
dence of the people in their ability to
obtain coin when wanted. The moment
there should be a well. grounded sus-
picion that paper currency was practi
cally unredeemable there would be a
well-defned movement toward the places

BoNNER's FERRY, Idaho, Sept, 90
Sixteen buildings on the main business
street of the town burned tonight. The
fire started in the store of the Holly
Hardware Company, and burned all the
buildings on the west side of the street
in that block and on the east side,
There were a lumber of people in the
burned buildings and some barely es-
capped with their lives, losing all their
clothing, many saving only their night
clothes. Through the united and I'M
tirlng efforts of every man in town who
could carry a bucket, the fire was con-
fined to a comparatively small portion
ot the town. The drug store of j. Cook
Just across the street from I'll, W. Gates
Il Co.'s store was saved only by the
most active work of all who could handle
a bucket. The same was the case of f.
NJ. Kinnear's general merchandise store.
The steamer State of Idaho rendered
much assistance by pumping water into
barrels in the street near the river.
The town was wholly without protect
ion against fire, and had there been the
slightest wind from the south the entire
business portion of the town would have
been burned. The loss on buildings
and stock will exceed $4,000, and the
insnrance will not ranch 100000.

Relnterment of Mr.. Davis.

The Wilmington IN. c. 1ossen9" makes
the suggestion that when the train from
New Orleans reaches the borders of that
State II shall be met By committee COM
posed OF North Cardinals chief surviving
officers of the CoDfederacy. who shall join
the escort 10 Richmond and be present at
the Teintermeni.
This is a good plan. and 1t is worthy OF
adoption by the ex-Confederates OF all the
States along the line to be travelled from
tho Mississippi river to Virginia.
We take il that committee OF escort
will 90 from Richmond 10 New Orleans,
and that committee Of Louisianians VIII
also start with the corpse from that CITY
20 Richmond: but On route committees OF
other States may Join these gentlemen ana
proceed at least TO their State lines.
Richmond will welcome all visitors on
that occasion. but many who cannot ar
range 20 come all the way here might be-
come members Of these committees OF es-
c0rt across their States.
We trust. however, that each state OF
the South will be represented here when

thor coloring from that fact and from
the further fact that the widow and
children Of the deceased will be among
the great company of mourners. and that
their wounds Will bleed afresh as the
clods fail upon the coffin containing their
beloved. Yet it will be altogether proper
for Richmond, in her private houses and
through her organized representatives, to
give a hearty though quiet welcome 70 oil
who come. Those who cannot come may
well show their respect for Mr.. DAvIs's
memory 10y joining the committees OF

ssfato Rnad Convention.

We call the attention of our esteemed
contemporary the Norfolk Land'"drf Go
whom, we believe, the credit OF suggest
ING "A State road convention is due to the
fact that the State Board of Agriculture
seems 10 have made no definite arrange
mept with Governor MCKINNEY about hold
ing the convention. They have talked
with the Governor ON the subject. but
seem not TO have made "a formal request
of him to issue q call.
IL there Is 10 be a convention II should
he held before the 1st of May-in other
words, it should be held before the roads
begin 10 dry and while the discomfort and
loss that they impose by reason OF their
shabby condition is fresh in all minds.
The DisPATcH was asking the Tuckahoe
Farmers' Club of HcuricO TO issue call
for convention when the State Board OF
Agriculture met here and undertook the
consideration If the matter. Next the Nor
folk papers said that the conventionshould
be held in that city. Now we have all
come TO halt. We do not much care
where the convention is held so that 1t IS
fully attended and accomplishes the work
for which it is designed.
We must educate our tax-paying people
up 10 believing that money spent for good
roads will bo remUnerative Investment
and that they can afford TO stand mode
rate increase Of taxation for such a pur-
pose.
The proposition of the Charlottesville
Chronicle to get the cities, towns. and rail
road companies to assume part OF this
burden We imagine will not be very popu-
lar with such corporations. Here and
there they may volunteer to help III coun-
try.road building. but IT will not do to de-
pend too much upon them.

The Lamar Vacancy-Judge Jackson
Judge HOWELL L. JACKSON IL already a
circuit Judge If the United States. lie
has proved himself to be equal TO the po-
sition. ana it is eminently proper that he
should be promoted to the Supreme Bench.
We trust. therefore. there IL no truth IN
the reports which represent that some oi
the Democrats and some Of the Republi-
cans IN the United States Senate are en-
gagged in the work OF undermining him..
President HARRISON certainly deserves the
support of the Democrats in this matter
He not only had the right to make an ap-
pointmcnt TO the Supreme Court. but 1t
was his duty to make one as soon ms posi-
Bile. Sir. CLEVELAND acted upon this theory
when his term was about 10 expire.
The President will have a circuit Judge
of the United States to appoint IN case
Judge JACKSON be promoted 10 the Su-
preme Bench. Perhaps he has some favor
lte whom he regards Os well qualified to
bo a circuit Judge but not 10 be a justice
of the Supreme Court. We are 10th TO do
Mr.. HARRISON injustice in this or any other
matter. but we cannot help surmlslng that
be had reasons personal to himself for
nominating Judge JAcKsoS-a Democrat -
for a seat upon the bench Of the highest
court in the land. TO say this Is not
necessarily to do injustice to the Presi-
dent. IIie favorite may be peculiarly well
qualified for circuit Judge, and the Presi-
dent may perform a bounden duty IN
selecting two Of the best of lawyers to e1-
pound in the court below and in the court
above the laws of the greatest country IN
the world.

Georgia Highly Ifonored.

Georgia has the Speaker OF the national
House of ReprescntatIves-an Office next
in rank 70 that of President of the United
States. She has the chairman OF the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations in that House.
Also place upon the Committee OF ways
and Means. HonOrs seem TO come now as
naturally to Georgia as they formerly came
TO Virginia, when from 1888 to 1924 the va
Dominion furnished large number OF the
officials of the country and all but one of
the Presidents of the United States. By
the way, If Virginia is to furnish no more
Presidents TO the country until her turn 70
comes. she will have 10 wait several bun
bred years! We are glad that Georgia de-
serves TO be so highly honored.
We make these remarks Gpropos OF the
scene in the House OF Representatives last
Saturday when Mr., BLoUST, of Georgia
was honored Us no representative III Con-
rress from any other State has ever been
honored. And we can well beheve that
Mr.. BLoUNT regards II, as he said he did,
as the highest honor which had ever come
10 him. We happened to write para
graph on Saturday in which we claimed
that great men were always forthcoming
when they were needed. We cite the case
OF Mr.. BLouNr not TO claim that he Is one
of the great men we had in mind, but To
illustrate the fact that as there were great
men before AGAMEMNoN, so there are men
now living whose constituents and con-
gressional associates regard as great men,
whom the masses of the people have
never 80 much as heard Of. but who have
within them the making" of great men.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7, 1893.
Senator Hills Motion Rejected.

II will not astonisb DIspATCH readers 20
learn that the motion made by Senator
Hull. when il was voted upon yesterday,
was rejected but such q decisive defeat
as is indicated by 20 noes" TO q ayes
was rather unexpected.
OF those members who were present and
voting nearly two 10 one. by their action,
EXPRESSED themselves as unfavOrable at
this time 70 the consideration of the bill
to repeal the SHERMAN silver-purchase law.
The test has now been made. and II
would seem 10 be reasonably certain that
that law cannot be repealed at this session
OF Congress, a. the calendars OF both
houses are crowded with important
measures which nearly all Of the members
are anxious 10 get through, and behind
which the opponents Of repeal may rally
and fight for an indefinite time.
MIR. SHERMAN well said last week that as
the chairman of the Finance Committee
he did not care TO call up the bill repeating
the lau. as be was satisfied that II Would
not pass. Indeed, he knew from inquiries
that be had made that II would not pass.
So. quite probably. did Mr.. HUI, but the
latter was willing to put the Senate to the
test. whereas Mr. SHERMAN was not.
An analysis Of Yesterdays vote shows
that the two great parties OF the country
were nearly equally responsible for the
failure of Mr.. Huns IlOtion-a monon
which simply meant that the bill repeal
ing the SHERMAN law should be voted on.
In the opinion of many yesterdays vote
in the Senate renders an extra session OF
Congress quite certain.

The Question of the Hour.

Bradstreefs for last week says IN two
places that the question Of the hour Is
as 10 what shall he the future relations OF
the United States and HAWAII. Yes, that Is
the question OF the hour; but we ought to
sec 10 II that the present movement shall
be merely a temporary consideration OF
that question. We must go forward IN our
work Of making the United States not only
the greatest power in the world. as indeed
II IS already, but a power that shall be
recognized the world over as the one to
which no question hereafter TO be con-
sidered is TO be regarded as without its
jurisdiction if that question touches ths
rights and interests Of citizens OF
the United States. Mr. WEBSTER, as
Secretary Of state. laid down the
doctrine that while scrupulously re-
rsrdine the independence Of the islands
the United States could never consent TO
zee them taken possession Of by either Of
the great commercial powers of Europe.
We take that 10 DO a declaration that
the United States will annex Hawaii rather
than allow any other nation to have foot
hold there
