Tho Sugar Trust Tariff:

The people Of the United States are
just beginning to learn the popular title
of the new tariff bill. In 1890, when the
Republicans passed the tariff law the
Democrats tried to make it odious by
calling it the Mckinley BILL" The
Democrats have been looking around
for q popular title for the present tariff
law. While some persist in calling it
the "Wilson law" and others the "Gor-
man law it has been unanimously
agreed by the Democrats that hereafter
It is to be known as the ''Sugar trust
law" The question Of the correctness
Of this title will be submitted to the Re-
publicans on Nov. 6, at which time it is
fully believed that the Republicans will
concur that it is we'll named, and that
the Sugar trust should have the full
benefit of the title SO conferred.

John l.. to Become a Farmer.

The stage is to lose one of it's brightest
.pugilistio lights at the close of the present
season. John L. Sullivan has become as
tired of the stage as he became tired OF
prize fighting.
Sullivan has repeatedly announced that
this is his last year on the road and that
he will retire to his Massachusetts, farm
and enjoy the comforts of farmers life.
He has been putting aside a little for q
rainy day and now feels that he has suffi-
cient for all his needs during the remain
der of his life.
Eyes, this is my last year on the road,
he said. "I've grown tired of shooting
about the country, not knowing where
I'm going the next minute. There's lit
tie farm 100 miles from Boston, and there
I'm going to enjoy life. I'm tired OF prize
fighting and acting, and don't intend to
fight any more. They wanted me to fight
before the kaleidoscope. If they'll put up
q man and not a stiff, Corbett preferred,
I'll give 'em a scrap All I need to do is
to train, and can lick 'em all"

paper, and in this way the tale Of the
temptation of the redheaded pitcher be-
came public property in a measure.
The New York team followed the Bal
timores at Pittsburg, and while they were
there the newspaper reporter who had
been let into the secret of Ehret's romance
surprised the latter in the presence Of wit
nesses and demanded to know whether the
story was true. Ehret boldly asserted that
it was. Later In the day, however, he ap-
peared with an affidavit in which he swore
he had been kidding, and that the 500
which he showed to his friend was given
to him by the Baltimores to stimulate
him in winning a game from their rivals,
the New Yorks. -
Then bobbed up another phase of the
affair. Ehret went in against the New
Yorks on Friday, Sept. 81, and pitched
remarkable ball for 10 innings, when the
game ended in a draw. To everybody's
surprise, he asked for the privilege of 60

bly, needs q good rest. This request was
granted, and, to use the expression of a To-
cal reporter, "he pitched like demon"
and won his game, holding the New
Yorks down to four hits. The secret of
his zeal leaked out at the same time. The
Baltimores had promised him 500 If he
won against the New Yorks, and after the
game on Friday he telegraphed to Captain
Robinson to inquire whether the promise
Of the 500 held good for the game on Sat-
urday. Robinson replied that 1t did. Fur
thermore, all the Baltimore officials admit
that the 500 was forwarded to Ehret but
they deny the story of the alleged $500
bride. The unexplained part of Ehret's
tale Is, Where did he get the first $500
which he showed to his friendi The i'm
preston prevails that he concocted the
whole story about the attempted bribery
and the hush money.
The League directors know they cannot
afford to let the scandal pass without full
Investigation and summary punishment

REVENUES OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Heavy Ealing or In the Receipts From
! tho Internal Revenue.

~
! tho Internal Revenue.
The revenues Of the government have
fallen off $13, 900, 900 in round numbers
in the first ii days of the present mont,
of September. The receipts from Gus
toms for the first IA days Of September
amounted to SO, 227, 900 against So, 730,
900 for the latter half of August. The
receipts from internal revenue for the
first ID days Of September were 50, 972,
900, while the receipts for the last half
Of August were $40, 634, 900, being a
loss for this period of $17, 662, 600. The
normal loss in the internal revenue re-
ceipts equals about 81, 500, 900. equiva'
lent to $4,000, 900 q month, or, if the
same conditions should continue to the
end of the fiscal year, it would amount
to over $11O, 600, 600 Of loss or deficit
This naturally produces the inquiry,
"Where are the taxes to come from III
the face of this great falling off Of inter-
nal revenue?"
The tax on beer, cigars, cigarettes or
the whole tobacco tax averages about
$3.50, 900 per day, whereas normal rev.
enue from internal revenue is about
$500 per day. It will be seen that beer
and whisky must necessarily produce
about $3.50, 900, 900 per day in order to
maintain the normal condition of re-
ceipts from internal revenue. If we only
collect 50, 972, 900 in ID days, it is easy
to be seen that we are drifting into q
condition of increased indebtedness
rather than keeping pace with the re-
curing wants of the government.
1t has been stated by those we'll in
formed and authorized to speak that
for the next four months it. is estimated
that the receipts will be about $8s, 000,-
900 and the expenditures 1924, 900, 900.
The very best calculations made by ex-
perts in the treasury department. as we'll
as out of it give us deficit at the close
Of the fiscal year June 30, 1895, Of
about $25, 900, 900, and very many per-
sons who are wise and we'll informed
believe that the deficit for the same Pc
Rod may reach the enormous sum of
$50, 900, 600.
These are healthful things for Repub-
licans to consider. When there is not
enough revenue collected by the nation
al government to meet public expenses,
the people may rest assured that q ma
tional debt will be. created by the fur
ther issue of bonds.
Will some one please tell US what q
Democrat administration is good for?
Their boast of repeating laws is bearing
fruit in the increased Indebtedness Of
the nation. How many of our people
know and understand that Grover Cleve-
lands management Of public affairs
placed the United States in debt at the
close Of the fiscal year June 30, 1898,
to the sum of $7,770, and at the close
Of the fiscal year June 80, 1894, the
public debt was increased to the enor-
NOUS sum of $50, O04, 700. Don't you

THE BRIBERY SCANDAL
Ehret's Folly In Accepting Mon
ey From the Baltimores.
LEAGUE MAGNATEs WILL ACT.

Aftermath of the Greatest Baseball Strux.
Cup sexles-Dan Brouthers' Elation over
His Teams Success. Il gz. h
Every devotee Of the national game will
regret that the championship of the Ma
tional league has ended with shadow OF
scandal hanging over 1t. During the 10
years of the existence of that organization
nothing but the most absolute honesty has
characterized the business affairs Of the
clubs thus banded together. 1t has been
the pride of the magnates to hold every
wrongdoer either among the players or
among club officials to a strict account
for any act outside of straightforward con
duct. The first offenders to be punished
were, Devlin, Hall, Nicols and Craver,
who, during the first few years Of the
Leagues career, were b]acklisted upon
conviction of playing crooked ball" for
money, and none of whom has ever since
been allowed to play In professional
game. The fate of this quartet had q good
effect, and since that time the game has
been above suspicion of bribery until dur
ing the last fortnight the indiscretion Of
q few ball players has set the tongue Of
scandal wagging. j u X I&A
When the Baltimores went to Pittsburg
on Monday, Sept IA, they had five games
to play with the local team of that place,
including two which were postponed from
q former trip. Every team has its bette
noir, and the Pittsburgs occupied that re-
lationship toward the Orioles, having won
four of the seven games previously played
by the two teams. As the Baltimores
were only few games ahead Of the New
Yorks, it was natural that they ''went up
against" the Pittsburgs with some misap-
prehensions. WE
Principal among the terrors Of the Pitts
burg team to the Orioles was the pitcher,
"Red" Ehret. So when they won the
game against him by a score of to l they
felt very much elated. Here rises the ugly
head of the late scandal. Directly after
this game Ehret told an intimate friend
that he had been offered $500 by one of
the Baltimore players to throw his game,
but, of course, had refused the bride, as
his work showed. His friend then advised
him to 'string' the Orioles for keeping the
affaip from the public. Ehret went away,
and when he again saw his friend he pro-
duced roll of 500, which he said he had
got from the officials of the Baltimores to
keep quiet. The friend of Ehret confided
the secret to one of his friends, who in
turn had contldant on Pittsburg news

Exciting Scene on Great Northern
Railway Train.
FRIGHTENED THE LADIES
A Quarrel over Wages Terminates in "A
Passenger Coach Between Two
Montana Ranchers.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Feb. 9.-An ex-
citing incident occurred yesterday after
noon at Cascade, a small station short
distance south of this city. A young
man named Cannon, who owns ranch
near Cascade, and a Swede named ole
Olson, who has been working for him,
got on the south-bound train at that
point. The two had evidently been
having some trouble up town before the
train arrived, and Cannon was some
what uoder the influence of liquor and
very quarrelsome. The men got into a
row on the platform Just as the train
pulled into Cascade and kicked each
other around little.
Olson went into one of the passenger
coaches and Cannon took a seat In the
smoking car. He jumped up a moment
later and, with an oath, started back
for the first class coach, saying he
would kill Olson. The passengers who
heard his mutterings supposed that
thev were nothing more than the mean
ingless threats of a drunken man, but
Cannon was In deadly earnest, as was
shown a moment later when the spite
full crack of a revolver rang out in the
rear car. The men in the smoker then
rushed into the car where the shooting
occurred to find Olson struggling to get
the still smoking revolver away from
Cannon, in which attempt he was finally
successful.
The ladies in the car were frightened
iRto Mysteries and the scene was one of
wild excitement until Olson succeeded
In getting possession of Cannon's gun,
which looRed as big as cannon to the
terrified passengers. Cannon had got
mp close to Olson and began firing at
him point blank, but the latter lodged
Just in time and the bullet flew over his
shoulder and hit the door about six feet
from he floor. From there 1t glanced
off and buried itself in the end of the
smoker. With people passing In and
out of the door ard the car nearly full
of people, it is very fortunate no one
was hit.
Olson got off the train at Cascade,
but Cannon went on to Helena, where
his relatives reside.

HARRY THoMPsoN's CASE.

Is an Assignee, an agent. Servant aud
Employer of the Assignor.
Harry r. Thompson, assignee of the
Jackson Music house, Helena, stood up
the other day in the district court,
where he had often officiated in the ca
pacity of clerk, and through his counsel,
E. Warren Toole, pleaded not guilty to
an information charging him with en-
bezzlement of funds of the concern,
while acting as its "agent, employee or
servant" Mr.. Toole asked that the
matter be set for this week. Meantime
he would suggest that the state might
be saved the expenses of a trial, as the
alleged offense was not crime. Thomp-
son was neither an "agent, employee or
servant" of G.. w. Jackson, but the as
since, and as such he had the right to
handle the money without accounting
to the assignor. County Attorney No
Ian said the word agent" in the stat
ute regarding enlightenment covered the
case of Thompson. Some time this week
the matter will be argued to the court,
and if the grounds taken by Thompson's
attorneys are sustained, it will prob.
ably end the criminal proceedings.
