what the Sugar Schedule Means.


Let us group a few figures from
the tho Democratic Herald as con
fession Of what the democratic su.
gar schedule means. The importa-
tons of raw sugar at Boston during
May, June and July, 1898, were
100000 pounds against ls6, 1o0,-
600 during the same months this
year, being an increase of l17,s00,-
900 while the democratic senate was
specializing and scheduling for rev.
enue only in Washington.
AS the sugar imports at Boston
are only one-tenth Of the whole i'm
ports the Herald estimates that "the
refners imported fully 49, 100000
pounds more during the last three
months than they did during the
same time last year." BY including
the month of August, which will
probably elapse before the new SUI
gar schedule goes into effect, the
Herald figures out an increase of
1928, 100000 pounds for the four
months to August 81. This it says
is about half years supply, and
then il goes on TO disclose the sac
eharine matter i'll the senate sehe-
dule as follows:
We may depend upon it, therefore, that
there will not be nuch revenue from sugar
before, next March, and probably not much
more than Sl5,O000o0 during the entire fiscal
year. But while the government will get lit
tie or no revenue for six months, the trust

The Trust-True Senate Succeeds

In the news columns of this issue
is an account of the passage by the
house of The senate amended tariff
bill. This is the bill characterized
by Mr.. Cleveland as "party perfidy
and party dishonor," ia shameful
abandonment of democratic princi-
pesn measure tainted with strong
evidence of trust corruption, etc.
This outcome is what the TRIBUNE
prophesied three weeks ago, that
the house would surrender to the
trusty senate. What Cleveland will
do now remains to be seen. Again
prophesying, we predict that the
presidents "splendid courage" will
not be exercised to kill the measure.
He will either sign it or allow it to
become law by bravely refraining
from taking any action within the
limit Of time that veto can be in
terposed. The demagogic trick OF
the house passing resolutions in
favor of tariff provisions at variance
with those in the bill enacted, was a
fitting finale TO tho great democratic
burlesque on economic legislation.

The editor of the South Wis
consin appears to be particularly dis
pleased by the nomination of Henry
Casson for secretary of state, b, cause
thereby he thinks "all chances
of any other III this district rolled
away" Suppose the said editors
preference for governor (Ryland, of
Grant county, had been nominated,
would not the chance of all others
have been "rolled away" Just
the same? If the editor had at
tended the convention he would
have seen that the nomination of
Casson was inevitable. That no
combination was had or necessary
TO effect il, and that no possible
combination could defeat it. He
was the choice of decided MAORI
ty of the convention for that office,
and they would vote for him re.
gardless of whom they might prefer
for other places. One false move
in Reese's interest was an attempt
to defeat Casson, another was re-
lection Of proffered support from
Haugen's friends, who, AS was
shown by the result on other nomi.
nations, were not to be despised.

Democratic Economy.

BY dishonest Juggling with fig
ures the democratic bosses have gel
out to deceive the people of Wis
coDsin into a belief that the deEloe
cratic administration of state affairs
has been more economical than that
of republicans.
Their method is to publish figures
showing the state tax levy in 1890,
latest republican year, to have
been 1891, $50, while in 1894,
last democratic year the levy is bat
$4,000. But very casual inyesti
cation is necessary to explain this
difference, and at the same tine TO
show that the democratic admins
tration has been extravagant in ex-
penditnres and dishonest in repre-.
sensations. The state tax levies for
four years, first republican last three
democratic, were az follows:

legislation .....,............. ....,.. s9.46f
Interest on state deposits ......... 1854
Total extraordinary receipts for yrs. $sl5,57C
OF this is applied S742,570 to
meet expenses of current year, and
in addition there is levied a tax of
$4,000, an aggregate of S9s2,570,
or $90,9lO more than the levy in the
republican year, 1890.
The democratic mathematicians
will not deceive the people with such
classifying of figures as this. The
eommopest intellect will perceive
that the roeter roosters, having re-
ceiyed from unusual sources large
sums of money, makes the usual tax
levy unnecessary. Further, glance
at the figures show that democratic
expenditures are largely in excess
Of what they were under republican
administration When the claims
of Villas and partner Bashford, at
torneys in the treasury suits are
satisfied, a still greater disparity be
tween democratic and republican
administration of state affairs will
appear, to the disadvantage of the
false. pretense reformers.

Dummies In the Band.

Quartermaster Liebich of the Fifth
regiment made discovery once and has
been careful ever since whenever he has
occasion to engage band to play mar
tial music for the gallant boys in blue.
II wanted to engage brass band, ="
said he, land there was certain rivalry
among the boys that made it difficult to
reach conclusion. l finally made up
my mind and engaged certain band,
and the next day the bandmaster OF the
rival organization said to me, You
watch your band tomorrow and see that
they don't ring in any dummies on
you" didn't know what the man was
talking about, so l asked him to ex-
plain, and he did. A light then dawned
upon me, for he gave the snap deliber-
ately away, that while leaders of GER
tain bands collect SO much per man
from the people that engage them they
frequently ring in people in the band
that don't know a bar of music from a
bar of soap They just simply walk
along with the rest of the players and
nobody is any the wiser. The next day
the parade took place, and followed
the advice of the other leader and
watched my band carefully. 1t didn't
take long to pick out the two dummies.
They just strolled along with the brass
instruments at their mouths and acted
as though they played without initiating
their cheeks We had to pay for those
fellows SO apiece just the same "
"And what did you do?"
81 asked the leader to tell the two
dummies to play solos. "
"And they did?"
"Not by a jugful, He simply said
that that wasn't in the contract, and he
refused to do it. 1 have had my eyes
opened since, and you may rest assured
they don't ring in any more 90 cent
dummies ON me and charge me $3 for
them. "-Cleveland World.

the boys hands, and he dropped back
ward into the water. He scrambled to
the shore and stood choking with impo-
tent rage, strange oaths pouring from his
lips and his frail hands beating at the
| air
The wind increased in violence The
thunder was terrific, and the heavens
were cut with broad, white blades The
night grew ever blacker, but he could
see by the flashes that the lifeboat rolled
heavily and seemed in distress. He sank
down and dug his hands deep into the
sand. All at once a peal of thunder
shook the solid earth. A flash of light
ming leaped down and seemed to lap up
the sea and ships. Bud uncovered his
eyes, and in moment his shrill voice
was added to the chorus of agony sent
up from among the flames of the fated
steamer. Lightning had struck her, and
the boy had heard the sailors say that
she carried a consignment of coal oil
The light was bright enough now, and
the watchers could see a small, dark OBJ
ject leave her luminous side and head
toward shore. 1t was the small boat.
Bud screamed in ecstasy as he saw a
-Carleton-work at the oars. The
time seemed an eternity, and the boat,
overcrowded as it was with women and
children, seemed to make no progress.
1t was in danger of swamping. How
long before the explosion must occur?
The boy threw himself face down
ward upon the beach and waited. Pres
emily he lifted his eyes and saw the man
in the boat rise and gently put back the
hands that were extended toward him,
as if in entreaty, and then with long
leap spring into the ocean. Bud saw
him strike out with strong, confident
strokes, while the boat, relieved of his
weight, made a leap forward Then
there was sudden darkening of the
sky as the flames swirled downward,
followed by long, reverberating shock
and roar, a glare that turned the heav-
ems into fire, while the waves Missed
around the scene with the foam at their
lips stained red. There was hurrying
back and forth along the shore, the
whirling Of long ropes, lassolike, over
the waters, and after awhile few
charred, blackened shapes upon the
beach.
Bud opened the Office door at half
past 2.
"This is nice time for you to show

A Curious Fish.

"Being something of naturalist. "
remarked A. L. Bellows of Camden, N.
j., 81 have always been fond of hunt
ing up queer instances of animal in
stinct and have fond few more curious
than the habit of fish belonging to
the genus 'geophagus, which is found
in the rivers of Brazil. These fish may
be frequently seen in shallow water ac-
companied by brood of 90 or 80 young
ones. Should any cause of disturbance,
especially any imminent danger, pre-
sent itself, these young fishes disappear
in an instant. On such an occasion,
several years ago, caught the parent i'll
a hand net, and on opening its mouth
| found it filled with the young packed
away toward the gills and filling the
entire cavity. When mentioned the
fact to the natives, they informed me
that it was we'll known to them, and
that it was continued until the young
attained considerable size. - ST.

AnImposIng GLACIER.

About l3 miles from Cooke, ON the
Rosebud, is a grand and imposing gla-
cier at least l50 feet high. Upon its
glistening surface the bright sun looks
down as it has for ages and in no way
affects this icy mirror below. Here and
there are immense cracks or fissures
where the awe stricken adyenturer can
look down into unknown depths.
The strangest part of this glacier is
that all over its surface in vast multi
tudes, and particularly near its base.
lie great grasshoppers in perfect state
of preservation, At the base they are
heaped up in windrows and present a
curious spectacle. There is field for
much speculation and room for wonder
and admiration as we stand and view

For her the choicest pleasures should bedeck

And brightest beams Of sunlight at her feet In

For her the blushing rosebud should discard its

And for her heaving bosom other eager search

For her pure contentment should throw its

And circle her, while pleasure shuts ali care

For her I'd make the journey through this

A lasting day of smiling love, devoid of doubt

Her path should glow resplendent, the way be

I'd make her life with happiness like dearest
