TIE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The democratic objection to the sugar
bounty Is that we are saving money hv
il: getting cheaper sugar and after
awhile would manufacture at home all,
or nearly all, we consume. To avert
such direfui and lamentable results the
Democrats propose TO abolish the bounty
and restore the tax on sugar. That viii
raise the price of sugar and put money
in the pockets of the foreign sugar
maker-Burlingto Hawkeye.
There is a point here that The Times
never has been able 10 see. Under the
old law there was tariff of p cents
per pound upon raw sugar, the new law
puts a bounty upon it OF only Is cents
per pound, and vet we are told that this
IS so much better for the producer thar
it has greatly stimulated the production
of sugar. Our own opinion Is that Il
has greatly stimulated living and tha-
the lying IL shared about equally De-
tween the Republican papers of The north
aud the Democratic planters Of the
south. The bounty, however. all goes
TO the planters.-Leavenworth Times.

as TO The STRIP.

Hon. D. A. Harvey, the Oklahoma
delegate to congress, uuquestlonably un-
derstands the situation there thoroughly.
In a letter to F. II. Green, editor of the
Guthrie Capital, in regard TO the strip
question, he says:
eve are having a very rough road
with the strip bill 1t all depends upon
our getting it before the house and OBJ
tanning a vote upon it.. The house has
been poiled and in large measure Is iii
favor of the passage of the bill, but
unless we obtain an assignment OF time
January and also a cloture rule, there IS
no earthly show of passing the bill,
unless we modify it so as to post
pone the appropriation, and this
modification will have to be ac-
cepted by the Cherokees. have
worked necessarily to get consideration
of the bill, but there are a dozen mem
bers of the house who will filibuster or
adopt any other means to defeat the bill,
and the present rules of the house beat
hell, fostering and encouraging tilibuster-
ing. Mr.. Peel and myself are endeavor-
ing to obtain from the committee on
rules an assignment of time in January
for the consideration of the bill. That
is the best we can do. We are going TO
attempt to put the bill through just as 1t
came from the Cherokee commission,

The benefits to this country of the
practical effect of the reciprocity clause
of the present Tariff law are being secur-
ed by the extension of the system to the
Central and South American countries
as RAPIDLY as negotiations can bring it
into operation. Whatever the Dem
ocratic party may attempt to do in max
ing changes in the tariff laws, it is GER
tam that they will not undertake to dis
turb the trade conventions that have
been established by the present admin
istration. The pity for this country is
that the administration now in control
could not be continued long enough TO
effect these advantageous arrangements
with all the American countries, as it is
altogether probable thar such efforts
will cease with the incoming Of the new
regime.

The alleged p-ohibitory law recently
enacted by the South Carolina legisla-
ture and approved By the governor, is
not prohibitory law, but simply a trans
fer of the liquor traffic from private
hands to government control. That is,
the sale of liquors is to be exclusively in
the hands of agents appointed by the
state government The design of this
law is understood TO be to give the state
the benefit of whatever profit may ac-
crue from the traffic, thus adding a large
Gum to the states revenue, and not so
much to suppress the traffic. The inno-
walton will go into effect IN July, 1898,
and will be watched for results by the
country generally.

From the ColwicI Courier,
The Wichita EAGLE has pronounced in
favor of the Republicans voting for and

Populist for United States senator. Iu
view of the situation, that a straightout
Democrat cannot be elected, and the i'm
probability OF the election Of Repub.i-
can, we believe it 10 be wisdom for the
Republicans to unite with the conserya-
tive Populists for the election of sena-

it will get over it and turn down

They Pity Each Other,


State Superintendent Winans recently

education of the blind aud the deaf and

hands of capable men. At both places
he spoke 10 the students, at Olathe, OF
course, through the Interpretation OF
Superintendent Walker. He thought
one Of the most interesting features OF
his visit was TO find how the pupils at
the two schools regarded each other.
The blind boys and girls thought. of
course, it would be nice 10 see, but they
thought it must be terrible not to be
able to near and talk; the boys and girls
at Olathe or the other hand did not see
how they could exist if they could not
see one another and the world around
them; in fact, each class pitied the other.

The Street Car Strike.

TO ne Editor Of the RfQtSttr:
SIR: The general impression is given
out that the strikers have the sympathy
Of the public. On this point, (outslde
the different unions, who seem bound to
stick to each other right or wroagO l
beg % differ, and contend that ii the
suffering public would tell what they
know" the strike would soon be settled.
| hear of an instance where a leading
member of the present strike was found
employing a so-called "Scab" or non
union painter. To what must allude
is the insolence of the conductors. One
case is that OF lady who wanted off at
certain street on the Island. She told
the conductor, and he said 'all right"
But when he came to the
street ran by. When the
lady reminded him, and a gentleman
interceded, the response came, damn
il! I'm not hard of hearingm Another
case where a lady got on at StifeFs to
ride to Twentieth street; she was car
ried TO the alley between Twenty-frst
and Twenty-second; and on every hand,
persons riding, can cite instances OF
this kind. and even worse. A friend Of
mine got on the car on the Island, and
handed the conductor a ive-dollar bill;
because the conductor did not have the
change ne was going to put him of the
car. A stranger interceded and paid
my friends fare. Let the public speak
out. Tell the truth 1t is through in
consistency that unions get worsted.
When capital combines labor gets the
worst Of il. Witness the stove
moulderS' strike in 1856, and
the Homestead defeat" l am not
opposed TO unions, but believe in them;
but the inconsistency of its members l
do oppose. l have case in mind where
a prominent union man in one of the
mills over the river, wanted his house
painted. He went to union house
painter and asked for a bid; it was given,
sos. He thought il too high; so he
hired a man about town and bought the
materials himself and got it done for
SIS. Consistency, thou art jewell
In the present strike the man making
the charge does so over his own sigma
ture, and in all frankness l can say
there could be hundreds more made if
the public were so disposed. Come,
now, let's have settlement, and in the
future be more courteous TO the patrons
and assist the ladies on and off the cars
with their baskets and bundles, and
thus cater TO PUBLIC OPINION.
