The New York Sun is having much
sport these days with its fellow Demo
Gratis over the party's national platform
plank on the tariff. 1t assumes, for pur-
poses of its own, that tariff for revenue
only is exactly what the party wants
then it points out where the carrying-out
of the platform will logically lead. Here is
the way it strives to correct what it is
pleased to regard as the illogical position
of the Ohio wool growers:
That tedious old humbug called the
Ohio Wool Growers association has
pulled itself together for another year,
and passed resolutions ceclaIing, in en-
tire forgetfulness of the decentralization
of silver, that "free wool and mutton
would be the colossal crime of the age, $
and averring that free wool, as now the
declared policy of the president and the

licans can be partially mitigated. The

SENATOR PRooroa ON MAPLE SUGAR.

From the Washington Post OF Sept. o.
There is good deal of dry Yankee hu-
NOR in Senator Proctor, but he does not
ordinarily give the Senate the full bene-
fit of it. Yesterday, however, he made
his colleagues laugh.
Senator Wolcott had on Thursday in
troduced resolution asking for infor-
nation as to the bounty paid on maple
sugar, and yesterday. in accordance
with the suggestion of Senator Gallinger,
he modified it so as to include all kinds
of sugar. Before the resolution was
adopted Senator Proctor announced IN
his kindly way that he had already
secured the figures. They showed that
the entire amount paid up to date was
only $l49,20l. Then Senator Proctor
made very clever little speech.
lie said that he had supposed Mr.. VOL
colts interest in maple sugar had its
origin in moment of ungarded fond
ness for the New England hills, among
which the Colorado senator's bOyhood
days had been spent. This cOnclucion,
he now thought, was mistaken one,
and he added
1t has occurred to me that during the sugar
season last rear | submitted, in an entirely
personal and unofficial way, to my colleagues

useful information as TO this product the
senator had distributed several cans OF maple

preciated.

settlement on Saturday. They were all
ready to rush in when at noon guns
were fired by the troops stationed along

to add that there was much suffering

whom had been in camp along the border
of the strip for weeks.
