answered, tentatively, ''eh?'
''But how will Miss Bows be able to
spare you?" asked CORTLAND, uneasily
conscious that he was assuming an in

dryly.
''A!iss Sally-of course-always,"
said Cl,ampney, simply. ''She runs the

''Were there not some French invest

land. pointedly.
Yet he was not quite prepared for the
naive change in his companions face.
''No. There was sort of French cousin
who used to be a good deal to the fore,
don't you know-but rather fancy he
didn't come here to look after the prop
erty," returned Champney with q quick
laugh. 81 think the aunt must have
written to his friends, for they called
him off, and don't think Miss Sally
broke her heart about him. She's not
that sort of girl-eh? She could have
her pick of the state if she went in for
that sort of thing, eh?''
Although this was exactly what Court
land was thinking it pleased him to
answer in a distract sort of fashion:
sCertainly I should think So" and to
Helapse into an apparently business alb
0traction.

Champney as they neared the house
again. 81 suppose you'll have some

More awkward in his kindliness than
3n his simple business condolences, but
apparently equally earnest in both he
shook Courtland's hand and walked
oway. CORTLAND turned towards the
house. He had seen the farm and its
improvements; he had found some OF

Shocked, yet relieved, but uneasy un-

blindly:

IN spite of the anvil

THE sUGAR SCHEDULE.

Almost the only thing in the tariff bill
that receives criticism is the sugar
schedule, and that is being freely con-
demned by the press throughout the
country, democratic as well as repub-
lican. The New York World says of it:
The most disappointing feature of the
new bill is the sugar schedule. Most
democrats will say that the bounty
ought to have been taken away at once,
for such tax is directly hostile to
American institutions and especially to
democratic principles.
The Philadelphia Record. while COM
mending the bill in general. has no use
for the sugar schedule. 1t says:
The sugar schedule of the ways and
means committee is most lame and i'm
potent conclusion. In fear of offending
the sugar trust on one hand, and the
sugar planters on the other, a most
valuable source Of fiscal revenue has
been totally abandoned.
1t advocates a straight duty of l cent
per pound on all sugar, and ventures
the prediction:
1t is more than probable that further
consideration will show it to be necessary
10 lax raw sugar III OIuEI " OOldlI al
adequate revenue. The sugar schedule,
as it stands, has the appearance of hav-
ing been drawn with a view to political
rather than fiscal considerations.
The Springfield Republican, which
ranks as a mugwump publication. says:
And the sugar trust is treated none
too harshly by cut of one-half in the
duty on refined sugar. Revenue consid-
erations here, however, would have die
tated an imposition instead of a small
tax on raw sugar. But the revenue
tariff idea seems to have been abandoned
at this point.
The republican papers make this their
great point of attack. The Pittsburg
Dispatch, for example, says:
The iron, glass and other northern
manufactures must stand a slash of half
to two-thrds their protection on the 1st
of March next; but the sugar growers
must be left undisturbed in their bounty
till July 1. 1895. and then only one-eighth
Of that protection is to be taken away
each year. This gives them over nine
and half years of respite in contrast to
hardly as many weeks Of preparation for
the great industrial interests Of the
North
The Minneapolis Tribune fairly "chor-
ties in It's glee" over the inconsistency
Of the democrats, in this paragraph:
Here is consistency for you.
Last fall the sugar bounty was one of
the most diabolical violations of the
constitution, of the principles of our
fathers, and a measure reasonable to
our republican government. And now
its sweetness is to be drawn out until
1902. although the Mckinley act limited
its existence to July 1, 1895.
Nevertheless, as we have observed be-
fore, the most important thing is to en-
act a law as speedily as possible,

DON'T BE ALARMED.

As was to be expected the leaders of
region are out protesting that the re-
duction of the tariff on the protected In
dustries of Pennsylvania will throw
everybody out of employment and ruin
the whole country. Most Of these men
are protectionists, and some of them
have been in political work for their EN-
ployers for so long that they cannot
keep out Of it now. Even Powderly
could not resist the seduetions of Quay
and now he is free to make a business
of politics. The president of the Anal
gamated association of iron and steel
workers is reported as saying:
The measure is a menace to our man
ufacturing industries. The manufac-
turers whom the committee is aiming at
can stand ii by closing their mills, but
the employees Will starve in the mean
time. tf.a
To all of which we reply, rats! There
will be no closing OF mills and no loss Of
work by employees. The president of
the Window glass workers association
is equally apprehensive of ruin. He
says:
II the bill passes the window glass
trade win be ruined. The reduction Is
between so and 60 per cent. and to get
even manufacturers will reduce wages.
III the latter are reduced in proportion
to the cut the employees cannot live.
Even a compromise under the circum-
stances would be vicious.

ers' union comes to the front with a
similar prediction of evil. as follows:

thing they can TO defeat II.

BOYS REFORM SCHOOL.
The Twenty-Seventh Annual Report
Submitted.

The board OF control Of the reform
school for boys has made its report to
the governor for the year ending Oct. 81.
1898. 1t is the twenty-seventh annual
report and includes the fourteenth an
nual report Of Superintendent Charlton.
The board indorses the superintendent
recommendation that the size of the
farm attached to the institution be in
creased for two reasons: First. as a
matter Of economy in order to produce
as far as possible the food consumed by
the inmates; and second, because the
farm affords the best home for the boys
leaving the school. and larger acreage
is necessary to give more Of them en-
plOyment.
The school was established in January.
1868, and during that time 1916 boys
have been admitted. During the year
just closed 147 new inmates were re-
ceived. In addition to these sixty-njne
who had been released on tickets Of
leave during good behavior We're re-
turned, making a total Of 216 admitted
during the year. The number released
during the year was 1S6. OF these five

by the physician in charge to have been
unusually good, there having been but
two deaths during the year. one of them
from an accident None are now seri-
ously ILL., During the year the admin
isration building has been repaired and
added to, most of the work being done
by the boys. The bricks i'm the new
structure were made by them and the
work of construction was done by them
with the assistance of a brick mason.
Eighteen boys learned the trade. This
work was such as would cost not less
than $4,000 ordinarily but it was done
on an appropriation Of half that sum.
A new manual labor woodworking shop
has been established and placed under
the charge of a graduate of a school OF
technology.
The appropriation for the maintenance
of the institution for the year was S70,-
600. This was all drawn, but there are
credits tOn the side of the institution
which reduce its actual cost to the state
to $41, 029. 49,

EXPENDITURES.

1t will be seen from these figures that
during the first half of the year the re-
ceipts from these sources were about
equal to the expenses. Since July, how
ever, there has been a great falling off
of receipts without a corresponding de
crease of expenses. This, of course, is
due to the panic and the depression of
trade. The last administration left a
large mass Of liabilities that have taxed
the treasury severely, one of the most
important classes being the contracts for
armor-clad vessels which have been
completed this year. The heavy ex-
pense of pensions is a constantly in
creaslng one, though there will probably
be some saving by the purging of the
pension lists OF some of the fraudulent
work under the Tanner and Raum re-
gimes. The public buildings expense
Is usually pretty heavy item, but the
chairman OF the senate committee hav-
ing that matter in charge says there
will be small appropriations for build
ings at this session. BY economy in all
departments, such as President Cleve-
land enforced during his previous adj

OPENED TO THE PUBLIC.
The Soldiers MOnument-WOrk That
Is Under Way.

The soldiers and sailors monument
was declared formally opened to the
public by the commissioners Friday
The formal opening was attended with
no ceremonies but simply amounted to
the establishment of a fee Of admission,
whereas in the past admission has been
free. The fee will be 20 cents. From
this source enough is expected to be
realized TO pay the expense of the custo-
dian. AS soon as the elevator is put in
the admission fee to those desiring the
use Of the machine will be increased to
25 cents.
The work which is under way in and
about the monument is progressing
nicely. The Mexican war dates have
been replaced by the dates 1851" and
1865 and the work of cutting the in
scriptions on the north tablet continues
slowly despite the severe cold of the
past few days, The stairway has been
continued 10 the iron floor at the base
of the parapet; the copper sheeting is
being put in place around the turret and
is expected to be finished in a week or
ten days. Inside several changes have
been made. An office has been built un-
der the west sill and the whole ceiling
on the lower sill has been covered with
steel. The entire interior of the monu-
ment is now made comfortable by a
method Of heating devised by Mr.. Langs-
dale

1t is not often that the staid and con-
sentative Journal Of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin gives vent to in
dignation, but it talks very forcibly on
the Hawaiian question. The follow
ing extract is worth thinking about:
Scarcely less TO be regretted than the
disgraceful facts themselves, is the
fact that there appears to be a second
opinion as to the proper course to be
taken by our government under the
circumstances. There are prominent
men and influential journals that do not

politics and the press itself become
icators OF the outrage, the disgrace

the greater. We can conceive of rea-
sons Of political expediency or inter-
national interest as warranting inter
MENTIONS In other countries under GER
tain conditions Of aggravation. But
high above all such considerations Of
material interest stand the claims of In
ternational morality and honor, which
can never be compromised for terrific
rial acquisition. The political morals OF
l10narchies tainted with traditions OF
brute force are one thing. Republican
ism has less to boast Of than IT claims
honesty. We surely have some better
lesson to convey to the nations than
that because we are powerful, we can

party then concluded to walk TO town,
and to do so had to pass oyer a trestle-
work a distance of a hundred feet. They
anticipated no danger, despite the dark
ness, owing to the assurances of the
motorman that there would be no more
cars.
When half way across the trestle, the
party was Mortified to see a car APP
preaching from the east, down a heavy
incline at a terrific speed. Their
screams were heard by the motorman.
but he was unable TO check the car and
il came laundering toward them. Some
Of the party jumped over the trestle, a
distance of about twelve feet, while
others allowed themselves to drop

THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX.

The gentlemen of means who have
been worrying about an income tax will
probably sleep better since 1t is an
nounced that the measure Is to apply
only TO corporations and SUGGESTIONS, or
legacies. This proposition. we believe. is
altogether unique. and at first blush
may seem to be subject to all the evils
of class legislation, but a closer con-
sideration of the question will show that
there is good ground for IT In common
fairness. All corporations are creatures
Of the government. IT gives them their
existence and gives them all the powers
they possess. Some OF these powers are
very far-reaching In their effects. as for
example the power OF eminent domain.
under which a railroad company is en-
abled 10 condemn a right Of way through
the property of an individual. no matter
how much the individual may object TO
the location Of the road at that place.
