a Republican RoomeranR.

Sugar is giving the republicans a lot
of trouble. It won't follow the course of
their predictions. Before the passage Of
the new tariff bill they said if the bill
became a law the price of sugar would go
up by just about the amount of the in
crease in the duties, and that the hold of
the sugar trust upon the people would be
welded fast
Now, to the surprise and CONSERVATION
of these prophets, the price Of sugar in
stead of advancing has fallen, and the
sugar trust is having more trouble with
its customers, the wholesale grocers, than
it has had in a long time. The Illinois
Wholesale Grocers' Association has sus-
pended the rule by which the members
bound themselves to buy sugar at card
prices in New York. and sell il at an in
crease Of 3-l6 of a cent pound. That
means that the grocers are kicking
against the trusts bossism-given to it
by NcKinlcy-and have determined to
have some voice in affairs themselves.
As TO the effect of the tariff on the price
of sugar, under the Mckinley bill, which
took Su.oo0,oo0 year out of the treasury
for bounues and put not a cent back into
it, the price of sugar on Sept. 10. 1892 was
. 3-16 cents, on Sept. Is, 1898, it was So
cents, and at the time the new bill became
a law it was cents. a month and a half
after the new law went into effect the
price of sugar was 1l-l6 cents. Nor is
it likely the price will go up for a long
time, if at all. Before the new law was
passed the trust began to import i'm
mense quantities of sugar from abroad.
pending the expected rise in the market,
which was depended upon to
give the trust an enormous
profit. But the rise came not;
the trust is loaded down with sugar and
the market is glutted. In this instance
it looks as if the bitter had been bitten.
Thus we have it that the new tariff has
reduced the price of sugar, will turn into
the treasury $43, 100000 a year, and has cut
down the profits of the trust over one
half. on the other hand the Mckinley
law gave the sugar trust a profit of S25,-
100000 year, according to the sworn
statement of the president of the trust.
took million of dollars Of the taxpayers
mony out of the treasury to pay the
bounty, and made the price Of sugar
higher than it has been under the new
law.

Rich, But Not Stuck Up.

It is unnecessary to name him, but he
lives in upper Fifth avenue, and is gener-
ally credited with possessing at least a
million, which was made from a remark
ably small beginning, says the New York
Herald. He has a son at Harvard and a
daughter who is finishing her education
in Paris, where he and the faithful help
meet of his struggling years spend a few
months every year-"to be with our girl -
as he expresses it.
Unlike many of his prototypes, he can
not and would not, if he could, forget the
days when, barefooted, he played ball on
the eastside lots with the other boys of
that time and locality, and to-day moth
ing gives him greater delight than to steal
an occasional hour or so from his down
town office and put them in up at the polo
ground, where his Line er out, Ward!'
invariably causes a hundred heads to turn
around in search of the owner of the
hearty voice.
last week on the extreme upper portion
of the fashionable avenue in which he re-
sides, these boyhood reColections got the
better of him completely, and the pedes-
TRANS at that hour were treated to the
amusing, if somewhat startling, sight
of a well preserved, elegantly dressed old
gentleman with a bald head and a round,
jolly face, welding base ball bat to
excellent purpose, and running bases with
dash and daring that made his COM
pany very fast one to travel in.
His companions were about as ragged

wears shoes and stockings and plays ball
in a bright new uniform, of which they
are justly proud. The team, though, is

being asked of the 11-year-old captain,

Make the Laws Apply Uniformly.

The tangle that has been developed by
the raising of the question of registra-
ton or no registration for the congress
sional election makes more than ever
plain one of the first duties to be per-
formed by the legislature. The election
laws should be revised and made uniform.
There was time when red tape and
crotchets in the election laws served a
good purpose. Immediately after recon-
struction days there was a necessity for
laws that would keep the state govern
ment out of the hands of ignorance and
vice and under the control of men of in
telliGence and character, and when the
federal election laws were in force there
was necessity for separating state cleo
tons from congressional elections
These necessities have disappeared The
democracy OF the state has grown strong
enough to keep the state government in
proper hands, and the federal election
laws have been wiped out forever. They
will never be re-enacted. The Republican
party would not dare put them on the
statute books again, even If it were three
years hehce 10 nave full control of the
national government.
The state election laws, therefore.
should be made uniform. Special regula-
tons should not apply to certain counties
or cities, other counties or cities being
exempt from them. The laws should be as
simple as it is possible to make them and
at the same time throw all the necessary
safeguards around the ballot. Every quail
lied voter should be given an equal
chance to express his opinion. If regis
tration shall be deemed a necessary quail
ifcation, let the registration extend
everywhere in the state. That require
ment would probably help the treasury to
a considerable extent There should be an
end to the inequalities of the present sys-

Lower the Rates!

That low fares will induce people to
travel has recently been fully demon
strated in this city, in the cut in fares
by the street railway lines. Cars that
ran empty during the greater part OF the
day when all Of the lines charged a fare
OF cents are now, at the reduced rates.
well filled with passengers all of the time.
and they are crowded to the steps at the
hours when the people are going to or re-
turning from their business. The cheap
fare is responsible for the great Increase;
and the railway companies are making
more money than they ever made before.
It is a noted fact that regular passenger
trains on railroads in this part of the
country are never crowded. Occasion
ally it occurs that two coaches are well
filled but the number rarely goes higher.
The reason is, the rates of fare are too
high. The average citizen cannot afford
to travel except when it cannot be
avoided.
If the railroads would lower their rates
of fare they would doubtless find the
change profitable to them, just as the
street railway people Of this city have
found cheap rates profitable. Instead of
hauling trains of two or three partly
filled cars, the number might be run up to
eight or ten we'll filled cars. If the street
railways find it profitable to make a rate
of one-half cent to one cent mile, it
seems that the state and interstate rail-
roads would find it profitable to make a
correspondingly low rate.
Low rates are given to those who travel
long distances and over several lines, and
there appears to be no good reason why
similarly low rates should not be given
to local travel 1t seems that the roads
might at least make certain days of the
week cheap fare days, if they do not
care to make all at once too great de-
parture from custom. Cheap fare days
would enable almost everybody to take a
short trip off; and almost everybody
would take advantage of the opportunity
to do so.
The railroads running into this city
would doubtless make more money from
both passenger and freight traffic, if they
would institute low excursion rates, the
excursions to be run at frequent intervals.
The oftener people come into the city,
the greater will be the amount of freight
they bring in and carry out.
Why cannot the Central the Savannah,
Florida and Western and the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular do on some day, or
days, of the week what the Charleston
and Savannah is doing on Sundays in the
matter of excursion rates? The Charles
ton and Savannah road on one day in the
week makes the round trip fare between
Savannah and Charleston, distance of
23O miles, 81, a rate of about two-ffths of
a cent mile. With a rate of half cent
a mile from Macon. Augusta, Jackson
vile, Townsville, Columbia and other
points, to Savannah, say twice or three
times week, there would be sucn an in
crease in the passenger traffic and such a
swelling in the roads receipts as the gem
eral passenger agents never dreamed of.

Bishop Turner says that the negro will
never be his best until he is removed from
the influences in the United States which
keep him down. A great many southern

advocating deportation. Those who know
better ought TO speak out strongly and

Tins of any deportation scheme. 1t is as
plain as fate that negroes taken to Africa
