THE SENATE INvEsr1GArIoN.

The Senate investigation of the minors
connecting the Sugar Trust with the sa,
gar schedule of the tariff bills has revealed
little that is definite. So far all the tes-
tlmony of any significance has come
from newspaper correspondents. Sew
eral of them have been examined and
have testified in substance that they had
been told by prominent men whom they
believed trustworthy that there had
been conferences between several Demo-
cratic Senators and some of the officers
of the Sugar Trust relative to the duty
on sugar, and that some of the sugar
men had boosted that no legislation
which they did not approve could be-
come law. One of them testified also
that he had been informed that Secret
airy Carlisle made a memorandum of the
duties that he thought ought to be i'm
posed on sugar and gave it to the finance
committee. Where they got their in
formation the correspondents refused to
tell and as they will doubtless persist in
that refusal, there is no likelihood of the
committees being able to find out who
their informants were. If. however, the
committee is in earnest it need not give
up simply because the newspaper CORE
spondents are recalcitrant. There are Sc
veral interesting trails which the SEN
ate can follow with profit. Secretary
Carlisle knows whether he did or did
not furnish the alleged memorandum,
and the most expeditions way to find out
the fact would seem to be to call him.
Perhaps the rumor that the aiministra-
ton is under deep obligation to the SUI
gar Trust for heavy campaign contribu-
tions to the Democratic campaign fund
might be set at rest or confirmed by
calling the treasurer of the Democr attic
National Committee He knows wheth-
er the officers of that concern sent $780,
900 into Connecticut AS has been alleged.
There are great variety of ways in
which the Senate committee can get in
formation if it is really anxious for
it. Appearances indicate, however, that
the committee is most anxious to probe
for information where there is really no
prospect of getting it. That certainly
would seem to be the significance of
the pursuit OF the newspaper corre-
spondents.

Senator Walsh of Georgia, in his maid

Senator Walsh of Georgia, in his maid
en- speech in the Senate the other day
had good deal to say about the inten-
items of the Dem 0cratic party. The inten-
tions Of a party or an individual are of
consequence only when there is reason
able prospect that they will be carried
into effect. The history of the past six
months has convinced the American
republic that the intentions of the
Democratic party are of no sort of con-
sequence except as curiosities. Hardly a
single one OF the Intentions of the party
as solemnly declared two years ago, has
been carried out. The party intended, it
said, to abolish trusts, to put raw ma
teTials on the free list, to wipe out pro-
lection, and to make tariff for revenue
only. Instead of that it has established
the biggest trust of the country on a
more secure foundation than ever 1t
has kept almost all the raw materials on
the dutiable list, it has spattered protec-
tion all over it's tariff bill, and it has
made tariff not even for revenue chief
Iy. Under existing circumstances, to
talk about the intentions of the Demo-
CT attic party is to talk about something
that is of no interest or Importance to
any human being.

Heretofore the pineapples of the East
Coast have netted tie grower all the way
from IL to cents apiece on an average,
although some large, fancy varieties
would bring in from 10 to IS cents each.
If this years crop should net 5 cents
apiece--which now seems altogether prob
able-this industry would bring at least
S160, 90 in cash to the East Coast for dis
tribution among the growers in land
ranging from ST. 200 to SIS, 000-only few
receiving less than the former amount
or mere than the latter.
The marketing season extends over
about weeks, beginning late in May
and closing about the middle of July
Less than dozen carloads have gone
forward as yet, and the shipping season
this year will hardly reach its height
before June 25 There are some late
varieties and some late loads, SO that a
few struggling shipments continue up
into the month of August and sometimes
as late as September.
So great has been the stimulus given
to the pineapple industry here duling
the last three years that a crop of fully
100000 crates is expected in 1880. The
plantations come into bearing in two
years from the planting, and the cost of
cultivation is not great. A grower of ID
years experience gives the following
figures.
Clearing one acre of land s75
Plants, l4,U00, at Sc per M 81
Setting out plants II
Care of plants first two years so
Fertilizers 60
Total $500
IT the land cost 5000 per acre-an
average price this would make the cost
Of one acre, at the end of two years $3.50,
to which must be added 12 per cent for
interest on the investment, taxes etc
or grand total of S54S. so. The yield
per acre to the end of the second year
ought to be $4,000 "pinesn-one for every
plant; but a fair estimate would be H.,
800 apples which, at cents apiece net
would bring S625 as return upon an in
vestment of $548 SO for two years. This
is something over 81 per cent, or 49,
per cent per year. After the first crop
there is no expense for clearing the land,
and none for plants or setting them out
In tact small resource can be had from
the sale of the suckers
Some of the pioneer growers here bave
grown rich in the business 1t is said
that one years crop not long ago brought
$4,000 net to Captain Il. Richards of
Eden, about 8 miles north of here.
There is no industry in the world which
pays better than pineapple growing
on the Indian river. and by the year 1900
it will undoubtedly yield an aggregate
annual revenue Of SIS, 100000.

The Portland daily press., 1894-06-01

There has been a successful arbitration
of a recent strike on the Great Northern
railroad due to the efforts of business
men, and on the strength of it some en-
thusiastic Congressman is going to in
troduce bill making arbitration of all
disputes arising in connection with the
operation of interstate railroads compuI-
sorry. Either party to the controversy is
to be empowered to apply to a United
States court for the appointment of an
arbitrating board and the court is to be-
authorized to create one which shall
have the power to hear testimony and
whose finding shall have the force
of Judgment. Up to this point no
doubt the plan will work well enough.
But judgment is of very little value
unless there is some power to en-
force it. The Judgment of a court that
somebody owes you a hundred dollars is
not very valuable unless some way is
provided to get the 500. Nobody would
ever go 10 the expense of getting the first
unless he expected to get thessecond also.
But how is the judgment of this board
OF arbitration to be enforced? Suppose
it decides that the wages which the en-
ployes refuse to work for are adeq uate
and enters judgement accordingly, how
are the men to be compelled to work? If
the men are not compelled to work of
course the arbitration has accomplished
nothing except to waste lot of time
and money. In a voluntary arbitration,
snch as brought about the settlement
OF the strike on the Great Northern
Railroad, both PARTIES were bound by
honor to accept and abide by the result.
But when man is compelled to arbi-
trate be will not feel bound by honor.
There must be some power behind the
arbitratlng board to con Re! the defeated
employees to go to work as there is be-
hind the court to extract the 500 from
the man who has been found to owe it.
il the arbitration is to be of any effect.

OVER TIE NINTH.

j. VI. Gudger. jr., Returns and Talks
on the situation.
J. NJ. Gudger, jr., returned to the city
last night from a trip through the Ninth
district He reports thatthe Democracy
is in line for Crawford, and notwith-
standing the fact that the district is
being we'll taken care of and money is
being freely placed in certain sections. yet
Democracy is safe if the Democratic
voters will 20 to the polls. He states
that all eyes are turned to Buncombe
and every where the people are anxious
to know what Buncombe is going to do.
Wild reports are atloat that the Duke is
going to carry this county.
MIR. Gudgcr SAYS Pearson bitterly de-
nounces the Catholic church, and is try.
ing to array and prejudice the Protest
ant churches against Crawford. This
charge is based on the Indian appropria-
ton bill. Pearson is growing nervous,
and at times forgets himself. "He said
at Marshall" says MIR. Gudger, "in his
speech that he would swear he would
see Cleveland or era xtord in hell before
he would ever again vote for them. He
denounces the Force bill, as traught
with danger to the liberty of the people
This declaration fell like clap of thun-
der on the Republicans of Madison, and
many lett the speaking, saving they had
no use for Pearson, but the leaders have
promised the Duke to force them into
line"
Mr.. Gudger says that as to Ammons,
he is utterly despised by the Republicans,
and Moody openly says it is only a
three cornered race; that he is going to
be elected and it is only question as to
Craig and Henderson. The Republicans
are aiming to swap off Ammons for
Moody votes.
"The feeling and love the country peo-
pie have" Mr.. Gudger concluded, 'tor
Haywood's gifted and eloquent Con-
gressman is wonderful"

WILL THERE BE A CHANGE!

Rumors of an Improvement in the
schedules of the Southern.
There is belief among men who
watch the trend Of railroad matters that
the Southern railway will before very
long make general change of schedule
that will be great improvement over
the one in effect now. 1t is hoped,
though there is nothing definite to that
effect, that the night passenger trains on
the main line will be restored, and the
A. & S. train made a little later, thus
connecting closely with the train from
Atlanta at Spartanburg. BY these ar
rangements the service would be inl-
proved and the Northern and Southern
papers would get here much earlier than
at present. This paragraph on railroad
matters is from the Knoxville Tribune:
"'The new Southern schedule, which is
being considered to 20 into effect within
the next month, may change things con-
siderably, said prominent official last
night. The present schedule, as all here
tofore have been, runs directly against
the interests Of the eastern system, or
old Richmond and Danville road, so il
will necessitate some very large changes
to meet the interests of these roads com
bined. One change will be to run trains
through from Knoxville to Asheville
Then, when the systems come together
at Atlanta. there will also be some very
great changes. 1t was reported som,
time ago that the vestibule trains be
tween Washington and Chattanooga
would be brought over the eastern sys
tenn and via Paint Rock. This woult
make the run about 40 minutes longe
but on the eastern system they hope t.
make up the time by running the train
through without stop The Officials
will not confirm this rumor.'

Duke Michael Heir to the Throne
After His Brother Nicholas.
BERLIN, Oct. 24.-The Cologne Gazette
says advices received in Berlin this morn
ing are to the effect that the condition of
the Car has become worse since yester-
day. The death of Grand Duke George,
the second son OF the Car, who was not
long since recalled to st. Petersburg
from the Caucasus where he was soiourn-
ing for his health, is, according to the
Gazette, a question OF a few days.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24-Dispatches
received here this morning from Livadia
say the condition OF the Gar has again
changed for the worse.
An imperial decree was published to-
day declaring Grand Duke Michael. the
third son of the Car, heir to the throne,
in succession to his brother, Grand Duke
Nicholas, the czarewitch and present
heir apparent. The Grand Duke George,
the second son, has renounced his rights
OF accession in view of the fact that his
condition is conside Tered hopeless.

\ LEGISLATIVE HIATUS.

If New Works. New Constitution PASSES

New YORK, Oct. 2+.-"We have made
a big discovery said Chairman
Thatcher, "there is defect in the consti-
tuition upon the adoption of which the
voters will berequired to pass judgment
November 6, which will create a legisla-
tive hiatus if adopted.
"The discovery was made by Henry
Tutley, a lawyer of Waterville, n. y.
The burden of the discovery is that ii the
constitution is adopted there will be no
legislature in 1895. and the candidates
elected this year will not meet at Albany
next winter. The new constitution after
making the new apportionment provides
for the election of Senators and assem-
blymen under it in November. 1895, then
provides that the constitution if ap-
proved shall go into effect January |,
