The most Infamous feature Of the sugar
schedule which the Senate has adopted is
that which puts the date of its going into
effect more than six months hence, Jan.
1. 1895. There was a direct vote upon the
proposition, but every Democrat voting,
tain it. The infamy lies in the fact that
raw sugar will be admitted free of duty
until that period. This will enable the trust
to fill it's warehouses with free sugar to
be refined and sold after a duty of 40 per
cent. shall be in force on all raw sugars
imported. May 81 raw sugars were quoted
in London at $2-371k a hundred pounds. and
about the same in New York. If the Sem
ate schedule becomes a law that sugar,
Jan. 1. 1895, will be worth 1921 a hundred.

duty IN refined will be s1.67h, which. added
to $3.50. makes the price which the trust
may ask for sugar after Jan. 1 S.571s a

So cents a hundred for refining

alize under these conditions would be ST.

the date of the law going into effect will
cost the sugar consumers Of the United
States.
Furthermore, by postponement the treas
ury, for which the duties are ostensibly
imposed upon sugar, will be robbed of all
the duties which would be paid on raw
sugars If the schedule should go into effect

POPULISTS, NOT MINERS.
A Meeting Which Was Devoted More 20
the Former Than the Latter.

Several days ago a meeting was called
to be held last night In the Criminal Court
room to express sympathy for the striking
miners. Through some misunderstanding
the court room was not opened until half
past s, and when it was only about one
hundred persons appeared to attend the
meeting.
D. +. Kennedy said, in stating the OBJ
jects Of the meeting, that IL was not TO
condemn the upholding and enforcement OF
the law. but simply to express the SYM
pathy Of the workingmen for the miners
who are oppressed by the present system
OF government, which allows corporations
and combinations to dictate the laws Of
the country. He said il vas not the send
ing of the militia 70 the scene Of trouble
which they warted to condemn, as that
was conceded by all to be the onl course
which could have been pursued by the
Governor when trains were stopped by
the strikers.
Philip R~appaport then took the floor. but
In his enthusiasm for the Peoples party

meeting as stated by Mr.. Kennedy. lie

a few words would be devoted TO them, but

overshadow all thought Of the poor miners
in their distress. The papers, ne said,
have stated that the strike was for a
Just cause. but that even TO forward a is'St
cause the miners have no right to resort
to violence. That is all true. not a s.-...s
paper has said a word in favor of the
course OF oppression adopted by the coal
companies" He then read an editorial par

w~orkingman to support IL. as IL was their
only hope to a laws enacted which
would allow them a reasonable compensa-
ton for their work. If force must be

and begging the workingmen TO desert the
two old parties and join the PopuiisfsL
Several ve-minute speeches were then

remark Of an Indiana Republican. Conse-

in the front rank. There is no greater
folly in politics than for a district having
large interests to permit a policy which
asserts that a half dozen aspirants for
Congress must each have a term, thereby
depriving the district Of the service that
a man of fair ability can render with ex-
perience.

Senator Vest has written a letter ex-
planatory of one he recently wrote to a
constituent in which he said that self-re-
spect would not permit him 10 ask for
any appointment from the President. In
the explanatory letter he says:
Up to the time / differed with Mr.. Cleve-
land on the silver question he had done me
the honor to consult me freely and often as
to Missouri appointments, and l had hon.
estly endeavored to advise him. as was
my duty. When he suddenly departed from
this custom and appointed to the most i'm
portant office in Kansas City a gentleman
who had supported almost the entire Re-
publican tickle in 1892 / considered his
action a declaration that my opinions were
no longer needed, and that the President
intended to emphasize that fact in the most
public manner.
From this 1t appears that there is a
breach between the President and the Sem
ator. and that 1t began with the Presidents

ing to disagree with him on the silver
question. This is new proof Of the Presi-
