SUGAR TRUST VICTORY

The compromise amendments
10 the sugar schedule were all
adopted i'm the senate Tuesday,
and the pivotal schedule upon
which the fate of the tariff meas
ure depended went through with
out change. The schedule, as
adopted, imposes duty of forty
per cent. ad valorem on all
sugars. raw and refined, with q
differential Of I cent a pound on
sugars sixteen Dutch standard,
and an additional lilo cent
against sugars imported from
countries paying an export boun.
ty. II continues the Hawaiian
treaty admitting sugar from the
Sandwich islands free Of duty,
and places duty of two cents a
gallon on molasses testing above
forty degrees by the polariscope.
The schedule goes into effect Jan.

there was sufficient confidence
to keep the wheels Of industry
moving, and the year closed with
a fairly satisfactory surplus In
the treasury.
But since that date. and the
appearance of the Democratic
party on the scene OF action, a
disastrous change has come.
With a surplus of income every
year under the Mckinley law up
to July last a complete reversal
in the condition of the revenues
has occurred since that time.
The change from bad TO worse.
says the Milwaukee Sentinel,
has been rapidly going on ever
since, SO that the expenses of the
government from the first OF

last exceed its revenues 10y the
enormous sum of S66, Oh. 2OJ.
The following two months OF the
present fiscal year will bring the
deficit up to over $40. 600, 600. 1t
is doubtful if history affords any
example of such a tremendous
change for the worse, in a time
OF peace, in the affairs of any
country. Such is one Of the re-
suits OF little more than one

BLISS BOON.

Col. A. IT. Bliss, of Saginaw,
has launched a boomlet for the
Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation, Whether he has com
pany" or not remains TO be seen.
He unbosomed himself 10 the
Detroit Journal the other day as
follows:
For some months | have been
besieged by friends in several
sections of the state TO allow my
name to be used in connection
with the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. This in no sense can be
construed as bolt against Gov
Rich, or reflection upon his ad
ministration.
1T is simply the result of a
very widespread and steadily in
creasing sentiment in favor OF u
single term for governor. Iyield
to none in my loyalty TO the prin-
ciples of the Republican party
and hearty endorsement of Gov
Rich's administration. which has
been clean, consistent and salts

lit is nevertheless true, that
there was an implied understand
ing among those who attended
the Republican state conven.
ton two years ago that Gov.
Rich would be satisfied with n
single term. and the expressions
at that time in that direction
were very general. They have
gained in emphasis and volume
since. Michigan contains large
number of citizens who aspire to
this honor. and it would seem
but just and fair that it should
be passed around.
II am decidedly in favor Of q
declaration in the next Republi-
can convention committing the
party 10 the one term policy.
IThe person who fills the position
one term faithfully and creditably
derives all the honor that would
be deferred by longer tenure,
and should be willing 10 retire
and permit others to enjoy the

Gov. Rich has been especially
rewarded in the past for his ser
vices TO the party, and | had
sincerely and earnestly hoped
that he would yield to the popu
lar sentiment for q single term,
and SO announce himself. Gov.
Alger was satisfied with q single
term, and when Hon. James M.
Turner was nominated he public

after the holding OF the conven-
ton. and II elected he would not

II heartily appreciate the evil

claimed:

The man turned and saw that the

LOUISVILLE, Oct. II. - The ill-fated
Louisville and JetfersonviIle bridge was
the scene of another accident shortly
after O'Clock to-day. Two men were
hurt, one perhaps fatally. The accidenG
was caused by the falling of a part of the

men were engaged in removing the false
work, which is to be transferred to the

were at work on the first bent of the
structure. The dip timbers had nearly
all been removed, and the remainder of
the section collapsed. Harry Williams,
Tom Prosney and Lee Millhouse of
Beaver Falls fell with it. All dropped
into a barge below the falling timber:.
Millhouse sustained a fracture of the

POLITICS IN NEBRASKA.
Joint Debate Between w. J. Brya
and j. NJ. Thurston.

Joint Debate Between w. J. BRYAN
and j. NJ. Thurston.
OMAHA, Oct ia special to the Bee
from Lincoln, Neb-, says: The first of
the joint debates on political issues, be-
tween Hon. w. j. Bryan and Hon. j. NJ.
Thurston, occurred here this afternoon.
1t is estimated that 1000 people were in
Agricultural Hall during the speaking.
The whole State was represented, and
many from other States were present.
The fact that both speakers are avowed
candidates for the United States Senate
added TO the interest of the occasion. The
reception given to the principal figures of
the afternoon was hearty and enthusiastic.
c. j. Smythe OF Omaha and John T..
Maui of Lincoln took turns in presiding.
AS Mr.. Bryan was To- open the debate
Mr.. Smythe made the opening statement
He stated the conditions OF the debate
and invoked special attention to the
speakers. lie then introduced Congress-
man Bryan, who was greeted with cheers.
The terms of the debate confined the
speakers 10 no particular topic. Bryan
touched chiefly on silver, income tax and
the Pacific Railroad Indebtedness. The
income tax was fair, and he was satisfied
that the future would vindicate his iudp-
ment. AS TO the Pacific Railroads. if he
were elected to the Senate he proposed 10
do his best TO have the Government mort
gage toreclosed. 1t was on the silver
issue that he was most eloquent. He was
sure that the white metal would be VIC
torious eventually. lie pointed to the
gains 1t had recently made In ali parts of
the country as a vindIcation of his posi-
ton. Mr.. Bryan was cheered vocifer-
ously at the conclusion OF his remarks.
Mr.. ihurston received great ovation.
He is a graceful speaker, and in a measure
has an advantage over his able opponent.
His speech was more Of general lecture
than that OF Bryan. He confessed to be
at a disadvantage in the estimation of
some in discussing the Pacific railroads
since he was the attorney of the leading
company. He was still confident it was
not to the disadvantage of people of the
whole country to have the Government
foreclose its second mortgage. since it
must then pay the enormous first mort
gage Indebtedness.
Replying to Mr.. Bryan's income tax
views. he was brief, and deprecated the
measure, believing it could not endure
On silver the speaker became brilliant.
After declaring, TO the surprise OF some
that he favored the free coinage of the
American production, he pictured the
enormous loads OF foreign white metal
that would be dumped into this count nv
in the event Of free coinage, and in clos
