SoUE ten days since several OF the
Eastern journals published crcumstan-
tial disclosures Of alleged attempts Of the
sugar trust to buy legislation in its inter
ests, and to have the tariff bin now
pending in the Senate 50 manipulated
and amended as 10 rebound TO the very
great profit Of the trust. Apparently
alarmed at the disclosures made and
fearful Of the effect on the tariff bill, the
Democrats put q story aioat that lob
byist had attempted TO bribe a couple Of
Ssnators-oRe Democrat, thu other
Popuiist-to vote against that bill.
This tale has a very gauzy appearance,
and to add to its probability the names
Of the Senators as well as the lobbyist
were given to the public. The latter is
admitted to be a disreputable and power
less adventurer hailing from North Da-
kota, while the Senators are gentlemen
OF such high character and standing that
no one for a moment believed that they
could oe induced by a pecuniary c0nsld-
Grafton to vote against any bill, OF TO do
any other act, or that any one would
have the hardihOod to approach then.
ItlJoks, moreover, as if the story was
started for a purpose, as the leading free
trade Mugwump journal Of the country,
the New York Tine, has truculently
proclaimed that no Democratic Senator
can now refuse to support the bill with
out su5iecting himself 10 the suspicion
Of having been bribed. The Senate has
appointed a committee to investigate the
scandal, and it IS to be hoped that any
attempted wrong-doing from whatever
source If may have emansted will be laid
bare and its authors exposed and fitting
ly punished

THE effort Of the Democrats to agree
upon and pass tariff bill Of some sort
still confines. and as weeks run into
months they are apparently 10 nearer
accomplishing their object than when
they first undertook the task. All pre-
tense Of passing 4 bill afor revenue only"
has been cast to the dogs; the cry that
protection is unconstitutional has been
abandoned, and the demand for free
raw materials is no longer heard. Tne
farce Of framing s bill in accordance with
the enunciations Of the Chicago platform
IS played out, and all that is left Of the
high sounding pronunciamento in favor
Of tariff reform" is desperate struggle
to protect the huge trusts that own and
are controlling the party. With all its
boasted strength in both houses Of Con-
gness and with a President Of its own
stripe in the Executive mansion. it has
been compelled 70 accept the Populisis
demand for tax on incomes. as the only
means whereby It's overthrow can be
prevented. Never heretofore was a par
ty in so pitiful a aeondition, with its pledg-
es abandoned, its throat in the grasp Of
the trusts, with the wrecked and ruined
industries Of the country at its feet. and
q bankrupt treasury with largely dimin-
ished and daily decreasing revenues 70
contend with, faction running riot in lis
fauks, and the wrath Of the people made
manifest at each succeeding local election
lis only remaining resource Is trade and
barter The Wilson bin is merely a dis
membered skeleton, and the bill that
viii one day be foisted upon the country
as tariff bin for revenue only viii. to
the everlasting disgrace Of the Democrat
&c party, carry on its every page the proof
Of bribery snd corruption.

Education and Crime.

4 lesson in moral and intellectual econO-
my can be CLEANED from the census statistics
which inform Us that, although the foreign
born population OF this country Is less than
fifteen per cent OF the whole, fhy-one per
cent OF The inmates Of our penal institu-
tons are persons of foreign birth Tnis is
no doubt due 10 the fact that the immi-
grants w have been receiving from SOUTH
ern Europe in such enormous quantities for
the past twenty years, are iga0rAat ani IN
educated. Why is it that these people are
50 much more likely 10 be c-iminals than
native born Americans Simply because
theyare 50 much more deficient 10 education

Pennsylvania IS nov spending annually
S5,oooo10 Of the public money for educa-
tional purposes, and 1t is likely soon to

tariff ever framed. The Senate has not
disturbed this feature, but has added to
II in compliance with the demands OF
the trusts. They have been sWeetened
IN sueh an extent that they are all anx-
ious for its passage. The Senatorial de-
b,teof Monday was occupied in discuss
ing the sugar duties, Mr.. Platt OF Con-
necticut, leading the way, ably seconded
bv sIr. Allison. Both are experts IN eco
nomic legislation.
The truth is that enormous profits
await the sugar trust if the bill amend
Cd becomes a law. The change would
not 90 into effect until the lst Of next
January. and in the meanwhile the crop
Of 1894 would be harvested and manipu-
lated. The excuse for putting OF the
operation Of that part Of the bill so long
was 10 give the Louisiana planters a
chance 10 get for this years crop the
bounty proyided by the Mckinley act,
but that is only a very small part Of what
the amendment would actually result in
doing. for there is no duty now on i'm
ported raw sugar, and there would be af-
ter January. The plan Of the trust is to
buy up and import, prior TO New Years
Day, all the unrefned sugar which the
country would need for at least twelve
months. Cuba and the other tropical
islands Of the New World would dump
their cane crops upon Us before that
time, and European beet sugar would
come over as ballast. The new duties
would be about 40 per cent, which would
be added to the price, as a matter OF
course. It is estimated that the trust
could realize in that way some $40 0s000,-
600. Gradually the people are waking
up to the enormity Of this proposed
grab.
Much can be excused on the score OF
ignorance and the difficulty of figuring
out the real effect of tariff change
Many defects may be due to blunders
But the sugar business was no blunder.
Il is a downright conspiracy TO enrich
the greatest trust in the country at the
expense Of every man, woman and child
in the country, for sugar has become one
Of the universal articles Of food in Amer
lea. The humblest workingman expects
his family to use it freely. It Is reported
that the four Populist Senators, Irby, Of
south Carolina; PefTer, Of Kansas Al
len. Of Nebraska, and Kyle, Of South
Dakota, will not vote for the bill with
this sugar steal in It, and that neither Of
the Louisiana Senators will vote for the
bill with that amendment eliminated
The equities Of the case do not seem &c
be considered by the leaders, but they
are greatly troubled by the conflicting
demands Of those upon whom they de-
pend for the passage Of the bill.
