WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
That Mysterious Change.
Hartford Post.


While all the Democratic Senators appear-
Ing before the scandal investigating com
mittee are asserting that they have had
nothing to do with the Sugar Trust people.
why do they not offer some explanation
of how IL was that the sugar schedule as
IL left the House was so radically
modified as to afford the Trust a
large protection besides that provision making
them present of some ESQ, 900. .OOD this year at
the expense Of the revenues Of the govern
menD Does It not occur to them that IL is
certainly strange that this schedule should
have been so curiously changed TO meet
the demands of the Sugar Trust2 Why was
IL? In bringing 1t about were the exertions of
all the Senator'S disintercsted 2 Isn't 1t re-
markablc that their dIsinferestedness took
that curious turn In favor OF =SaeasATrAs4
when other industries were 40 ruthlessly
handled Ths Democratic Senators can
hardly bolive that they can make people think
that this remarkable change was suddenly
made while Mr.. Havemeyer was In Washing
ton because OF sound cconomic princi-
pies. There seems to have been an irresistible
force which, operated on the tariff makers.
What was it2 Whore was it? Ia 1t the same
force which is now compelling the Senators to
stick TO the schedule In spite OF the implica-
tons OF the scandalous circumstances?

Darlington.

One of the prettiest weddings ever given
in Darlington, took place at st. Johns
Episcopal Church on Tuesday afternoon,
the rector, Rev. William M. Chaplin, off
ciating. The church was beautifully dec
grated with choice cut flowers and grow
ing plants, presenting a scene in entire
harmony with the spirit of the occa-
sion, and q large and representative
number Of relatives aud friends of the
high contracting parties. Mr.. Howard
Allen OF Warren and Miss Jessie Norton,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles ID. Nor
ton OF harrington, were present. At the
appointed hour the wedding party arrived
at the church, the bride leaning upon the
arm of her father and attended by two
bridesmaids, Miss Anna ID. Smith OF Bar
rington and Miss Perry of Webster, Mass.
proceeded up the aisle to the altar, where
she was met by the groom, hile the rich
peals and inspiring strains of Lohengrin's
wedding march pealed from the organ
where Mrs. Starkweather presided. The
ushers were Messrs. Smiths, cousins of
the bride; Mr.. Frank Wood and Mr.. Nor
ton, the brides brother. At the close OF the
ceremony a reception was held at the
home OF the brides parents which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who were priv
ileged to be present. The presents in

expensive articles as we'll as many practi-

THE KEARSARGE.
The Part That Sunday Played in Her
History and in Other Naval History.

The New York Tribune of Tuesday said /:
1t was on this day thirty years ago that
Captain John Ancrum Winslow laid down
the prayer book with which he was about
to conduct Sunday morning services on
board the Kearsarge, and girding on his
sword, prepared to fight the Ala bama of
Cherbourg harbor. Sunday was the
out with every expectation of sinking or
capturing the Kearsarga. In her
long. cruise against the commerce
OF the United States she had caused
more damage on the first than on any
other one day In the week. Her luck on
Sunday, juno 10, 1894, however, did not
avail her when opposed to the broadsides
OF the gallant Kesrsargc, and In little
over an hour after the action began she
disappeared below the surface of the
ocean, never to rise again. Sunday seems
to have been O favorite day in Ameri-
can history for sea fights, some of the
most remarkable battles In the career
OF the navy having been fought on that
day. Besides the extraordinary action
between the Kearsarge and the Alabama,
the 44-gun frigate United States, Captain
Stephen Decatur, on Sunday, October 25,
1872, fought the 3S-gun frigate Macedoni-
an, Captain John Surman Garden, q little
to the west of the Madeiras. This was
one OF tho most remarkable battles
between wooden sailing frigates OF that
period. 1t was on Sunday, March 9, 1852,
that the first and greatest battle between
ironSlad warships took place, the Moni-
gaging the Merrimac, Captain franklin
Buchanan, In Hampton Roads on that
day. Each OF these Sunday naval battles
was fought under unusual conditions,
and each had a peculiar In terest for the
st udent of history.

that the Secretary of the United States
Treasury promised representatives Of a
foreign syndicate controlling the dia-
mond trade that the Senate would mod

by the Wilson bill.
In the first place he had no right to
say what the Senate would or would
not do, in the second place what right
has the Democratic Secretary of the
Treasury to promise that the American
Senate shall play into the hands of

WILL THEY BE INDICTED!

Why have not Messrs. Havemeyer
and Searles been certified to the dis
trict attorney, just as the newspaper
men and the New York business man
We're? Can it be that the investigating
committee does not have them indicted
lest they tell the truth about the rela-
tions between the Trust and the Senate?
The fact stands out in all its nakedness
that the Democratic members of the
Senate sugar Investigate committee
refuse to ask for the indictment while
Senator Lodge and the Populist Senators
On the committee insist that there is no
reason why fish should be made of one
set Of witnesses and fowl of the other,
and that it seemed to be entirely proper
that the magnates of the Sugar Trust
should have the same conditions applied
to them which have already been en-
forced as to the newspaper correspond
ents.
This certainly is the way the public
looks at the matter and continued re-
fusal to certify these gentlemen as re-
calcitrant witnesses will make certain
the already suspected belief that the
investigating committee was appointed
merely to satisfy the popular demand
for an inquiry and not with an intent of
probing the matter to the bottom.
The Democracy seems bound to fasten
the scarlet letter of its own prostitution
to its breast that all who run may read
the secret of its shame.
