THE SUGAR TRUST INFLUENCE

If the truth could be known, it
would appear, we think, that the
Sugar Trust had the most to do
with leading the rather tame mind
of Grover Cleveland up to the point
of approving its restoration
schemes. We do not speak now
of the influence, commercial or
otherwise, which Claus Spreckels
had upon his Coronado tenant,
Charles Nordhoff, and the effect Of
the latter's plausible falsehoods
upon the Stuffed Prophet but Of
the fact that two of the leading
men of the Sugar Trust are Cleve-
lands most intimate friends, whose
counsel he is accustomed to seek,
and who have placed him under
private obligations. The head of
the Sugar Trust in New York city
is said to be Vim. c. Whitney,
formerly of Cleveland's Cabinet and
now his chief New York adviser ;
and one of its leading members is
Mr.. Benedict, whose private yacht
the President is accustomed to use
when he goes junketing. Is it to
be supposed that these men, with
the immense stake they have in
the rehabilitation of the Spreckels
power in Hawaii and in the defeat
of the proposal to annex the group
to the United States would have
failed to use all their persuasive
powers upon friend whom they
supposed could doso much for them
as the President of the American re
public Mr. Whitney, particularly,
has given Cleveland market tips
out of which the latter has realized
a fortune. He, of all men, could
ask with good grace that Mr..
Cleveland should pursue a course
that would as he believed, protect
his sugar revenue from the danger
which might follow the incorpora-
ton of Hawaii with the United
States and the building Of sugar
refneries on this soil And if
Cleveland could be persuaded in
advance that annexation was
opposed to Democratic principles
he would be quite in the frame Of
mind to accede to such a request.
Sly Mr. Whitney, in his relations
with the President, is capable Of
seeing that political persuasion
comes to him from the right source
to be appreciated.
There is another chapter in this
story Of the Sugar Trust which
may never come out in explicit
terms but which as it stands covers
the name Of James II. Blount with
an ignominious suspicion When
the Georgia Commissioner came
here a letter from an eminent New
York journalist came also 10 say

ENFORCE THE sEDITIoN LAW

For several months the HoiomNd,
known as the private newspaper
organ Of the claimant to the throne,
has been filled with sedtious Ian
guage. That journal has uniformly
assaulted the title and the personnel
of the Provisional Government, has
libeled its members, tried to break
down its credit and has prophesied
its overthrow 1t is now engaged
in making assertions that the Gov
eminent will soon be destroyed,
whereupon those who have been
urging resistance to the American
marines and have been denouncing
the woman whom the paper calls
Her Majesty and the Queen
will be dealt with by summary
process of law. In some cases the
use of the bullet and rope has
been threatened II such a paper
has any influence at all that infu-
euce has been and is being eXerted
to make the natives hostile to the
authorities, to create a feeling
among Royalists generally that
may lead to an outbreak and TO
bring the law and the administra-
ton into contempt.
During peaceful times such angry
vaporings may be allowed to pass
in silence but during periods of
revolution or threatened revolt all
countries have found it needful to
curb sedition both OF speech and

debate on the Hoar resolution came
to an end. There is now a distinct
majority of votes against restora-

any bill which the lower house
might pass in the interest of Liliuo-

sentatives would do such a thing.

Only Nine Hats of Napoleon.

From the London Daily News.
Careful inquiry has led to the discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine of
Napoleon l. s hats still in existence. A
writer in the Vie Contemporaries gives a
list Of them. One is in the possession of
Nine. Claitte, whose grandfather, Gen.
Giraud, picked it up in Marengo. At a
critical moment Buonaparte started off at
a gallop, and the wind blowing of his
hat he did not stop to pick it up.
Another of the hats is in little crvpt
beside Napoleon's tomba at the Invalides.
This was worn on the 18th, Sth, and 9th of
Feb. 1907, at Eylau and it Is the identi-
cal one represented in the colossal picture
of the battle by eros, TO be seen in the
Louvre. During the peace which sue
ceeded the battle eros was commissioned
to paint the picture, and in order that
the figure of the emperor might be faith
fully depicted, the hat was given TO the
painter.
At the death OF Gross in 1885 Il was
found under glass case upon q wooden
stand, and it was sold by auction among
the painters effects for 2,047f. soc. 10

ldlO. ouOTbAy dIJeF lNGTON HOUSE.
Mr.. Cleveland's election he changed en-
tirely the nature of his investments. No
inconsiderable amount Of his fortune was
so placed that it might be affected by his
official actions. In order to avoid even the
appearance fevil, the President-elect had
all bis securities disposed of and the pro-
ceeds invested in such a manner that no
Official policies of his could either increase
or decrease their value. This was simply
following precedent set by all our chief
magistrates, President Harrison having
done similar thing shortly before his
Inauguration.
But when the cares of his office began
to weigh upon MIR Cleveland he found it
entirely impossible to attend to his per
sOnal affairs. The real estate, for lack Of
management, yielded no revenue, and the
stocks were not holding their own The
President never owes much money-S10,-
900 would pay his debts and more at
almost any time, but the scale upon which
he lives and the losses which he sustained
through his investments have left him
poorer by good deal than when he en-
tered the white house last March 1t is
stated, upon an authority which leaves
the assertion open to no dispute. that Mr.
Cleveland is worth to-day barely $3.50, 600,
and his salary is being spent as fast as it
comes in.
1t is to this state of affairs that the
whispers of possible resignation of the
presidency are due. In the retirement of
his private residence, near Washington,
Mr.. Cleveland has expressed his disap-
proval of the present partisan tendencies
in no uncertain way. No secret is made
of the fact that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Gresham have discussed together the
possibility of Vice President Stevenson
being called to a higher office otherwise
than by death.

cathedral of New York is becoming one
of the most superbly appointed in the

monial pomp, and the decorations and ap-

Thompson also likes to befriend young
fellows who wish to educate them
selves, and he has been very generous to
unfortunates on the track. This man is
certainly the queerest compound that

defies law and order and slips through
