M'klNLEYISM AND TRUSTS.

Significant Facts Brought to Light In tho
Sugar Squabble.
The head of the sugar trust frankly
told the senate Investigating commit
tee that the trust contributed, as it's
books would show, to democratic cam
paiFn funds in democratic states, and
to republican campaign funds in re-
publican states. 1t did not contribute
to the funds of the minority party in
any state. The trust had no politics
but the politics of ''business." 1t did
not contribute to promote the success
OF any party or its principles, but it did
contribute to promote the interests of
the trust. That was the politics of
"business.
1t was after the publication of this
precious testimony of the boss of the
trust that the Mckinley organs re-
peated the stale falsehood that the
pending tariff bill favored 1.-The octopus
sugar trust because its members are
democrats who donate freely to the
campaign funds of that party" The
organs assume that their readers read
their editorials but do not read their

SEA ISLAND MARRIAGES.

"Reminiscences of tho Days After the Eman-
cipation of the Negroes.
During the month of August Of this
year, Brighten. Saxton issued an order
from his headquarters at Beaufort re-
ferring to the marriage customs of the
colored people under his authority
This order provided that each freedma II
must confine himself to the one wife to
whom he had been lawfully married.
If he had never been so married he
should choose the woman who was
mother of most of his children, and be
married to her as soon as possible.
When this order was read by the su-
perinSendents it created a great stir
among the negroes. Many of them re-
joiced and considered it a final proof
that they were free jus like buckrah
the Sunday morning services closed with
a big wedding. The old gray-haired
brides and grocms. many of whom had
been true to each other through all the
terrible days of slavery. stood two by
two down the length of the middle
aisle. Many of them did not know
their right hand from their left. SO
they faced each other and c1asped both
hands while they listened to the Bible
law of marriage. Then the minister
asked the solemn question: ''Do you
take this woman whose hands you hold
to be your lawfully welded wife? Do
you promise to love, honor and protect
her as long as you both do livc?" A
deep, strong answer rose from the lips
of more than fifty men, 'I do

ed to the blacl<ening influences of the
gas from stove furnace. The wise
housekeeper permits no article of silver
that is not in frequent use to remain
upon her sidcboard and needlessly add
to the labor of cleansing. The best
receptacle for unused articles of silver
is Il bag of Canton flannel. This is
made wide enough to accommodate
the various articles, and is stitched
to form narrow pockets with SUIT
ablc openings at the top, tape
being attached to each side at
the center. In these pockets the
pieces of silver are placed, each kind by
itself; and the bag is then rolled. tied
securely and put away in a drawer that
is entirely free from dampness. When
certain article is wanted. a quick WHIP
ing with piece Of channels will usual
ly render it perfectly presentablc.
Silver that is in daily use should be
washed with very hot suds made with
soap that contains nothing that will
scratch the polished surfaces, and
should then be well rinsed with hot,

committee, and in tho course: Of his ex
animation the following colloquy shed
light on an important point:
! Senator Allen-You may state briefly wha,

which is the better act for your
Mr.. Seafles-Tbe Mckinley bill by far.
| Senator Attention. much:
| Mr. Searles-1 think one-half. That is wiat j
| finer In the proposed schedule is not over one
half Of what it Is in the Mckinley bill.
How did it. come TO pass that the Nc
1<1n1ey tariff was made better 'by far
for the sugar trust than the senate
schedule is? Was it because the menu
befs OF the trust are republicans ",vho
donate freely to the campaign funds of
that party?" In illustrating the manner
| in which the trust practiced the pol
itics of business, Fl. o. Havemeyer
mentioned Massachusetts, as q repub-
1ican state. Neither he nor his brother
Theodore. who testified later, would
give particulars, but it is an unavoida-
bic inference from their general state.
ments that the trust contributed to re-
publican campaign funds in states
where the Investment would be busi-
nesslike, such as Ohio and Illinois.
1T Is to be inferred that the Mckinley
congress was paying q political debt
when it made sugar sch ed ule "by far
more favorable to the trust than the
senate schedule is.
There was a nice little speculation
in the Mckinley sugar tariff. The bill
at first gave the trust protection to
the extent of per cent. April IS,
1890, this was changed to 40 cents per
hundred pounds. The next day there
was lively trading in the trust certid-
Gates, and the price continued to ad-
vance for five weeks. or until the bill
passed the house, with a protection OF
SO and a possible co cents per hundred
pounds. The stock exchange reports
show that the total advance was 81
points, or S15, 500, OOOO on the $50. OOO, 900
of certificates then existing.
These facts would seem to indicate
that the republican statesmen owed q
considerable political debt to the trust,
or that they were extremely liberal in
making payment from the pockets of
consumers. The same facts suggest
the possibility of successful specula-
ton by representatives and senators-
speculation upon the certainty of their
own action, with the aid of certain per.
sons who know how to make themselves
useful by ''carrying'' stocks for other
people.
And the moral of the whole story is
that tariff protection is a thoroughly |
corrupt and rotten business.-Chicagc

THEY WOULDN'T 90 NOW.

| Fire Engines Used by tho Ancients Loee
Before the Air Chamber Was Invented.
to . very early date. The Romans GER
tainly possessed them, as Pliny is wit
ness. Appolloaorus, too, architect to
the Emperor Ira jan, speaks of leather
bags with pipes attached from which
water was projected by squeezing the
bags. a far more advanced fire engine,
however, was used in Egypt.
Hero. of AIexandria, in a trea tisc on
pneumatics. written about the year $50
Il. c., describes machine he calls 1.-The
hiphon used in CONGREGATIONS" 1t con-
sisted Oh tw2 cylinders and pfstons con-
raised and lowered the pistons alter
nately. Thus with the help of valves,
which opened only toward the jet, the
water WAS projected, but not in a con-
tinuous stream, the pressure ceased
after each stroke. The air chamber had
yet to be invented.
To what extent Hero's engine was
used we do not know. 1t is clear that
unless several were brought into ac-
ton simultaneously such machines
would be almost useless. As far as
the construction went, however, Hero's
''siphon'' was a great success. for, with
the addition of air chamber. hoes and
improvements in details, it has become
the modern fire engine.
From the time of Hero to the year
1918 no progress worth recording seems
to have been made. although at the
latter period learn that at the
building of the city of Augsburg in
struments for fires and water Syringes
are mentioned.
In 1857 Il fire engine was used at Nu-
remberg almost identical with that Of
Hero. 1t had a water cistern and was
drawn by two horses. Twenty-eight
men We're required to work it. and it

Late in the seventeenth century the
air cha I'm Der and hose made their APP
pearance. The latter, with the sue
ton pipe. were invented by Van der
Heide in 1870, while their use in con-
nection with the air chamber was first
