Willie Henley Falls Into Canal Near
Washington Street.

Willie Henley, aged four years., was
drowned in the canal, a short distance
north Of Washington street, yesterday af-
ternoon. The boys parents live at No. II
Douglass street. He was playing with a
companion on the bank of the canal when
he stumbled and before he could regain his
feet rolled into the water: His struggles
carried him into deep water and he
drowned before the screams of his COM
panion attracted help. Oscar Kelley, a six
teen-year-old lad was the first to reach the
scene, but was too late to save the boys
life. Coroner Castor was called yesterday
evening and held an. inquest. The victim

SHIT Over GINS Rorinr.

Manufacturers Natural-gas Company
against the United States Encaustic Tile
Company came up yesterday before Judge
Brown, of the Circuit Court. Both COM
panies own gas-producing land in Hamilton

at a point so closely adjacent to the
plaintiffs main well as to materially dimin-
ish the supply Of gas in case the work be-
gun was allowed to proceed. The court is
asked to issue an order perpetually enjoin-

A few days ago an old colored woman
called at the city controllers Office and
made application for divorce of Deputy
Share. "My old mans no mannah of ac-
count she said, and Use tired of havin'
the life pestered outer me. How much
do yo' charge fur a divorce" Mr.. Share
informed her that the proper thing for her
TO do was TO consult an attorney, who
would take the proper steps in order TO free
her from her objectionable better half The
old woman left the office seemingly much
~chagrined to find that the controllers Of

His Eccentricities Due to an Overin-
diligence in liquor

Henry ~Schwinge. the grocer at No. 81
North Pennsylvania street, was declared
sane yesterday by the commission which
has for some time had his case under in
vestigation. The commission decided that
the eccentricities of the unfortunate man
were due to an overindulgence in alcoholic
stimulants rather than to a diseased brain,
and that the real trouble could be cured
by proper treatment.

The average imports of raw sugar
during each of these eight years was
2. 456, 600, 900 pounds, the total for the
eight years being almost 90, 600, 000,-
BOO pounds.
An analysis of the foregoing figures
will show that out of the annual aver
age of imports of less than 2, 500, 600, 900
pounds of raw sugar there We're 1, $780,
900, 900 pounds imported between 30 and
80 degrees test, leaving only 736, 000,-
900 pounds imported between the range
Of 70 and SO degrees test. In other
words, during the whole of this period
of eight years there was at least 20 per
cent of high grade sugar imported into
the United States, while only 80 per
cent was low grade, or 1.-THE poor mans
sugar"
Mr.. Havemeyer further states that
''the cost Of manufacture generally is
expended on the poor mans sugar. If
this be the case, then 1.-The cost of man
ufacture generally" is confined to one
third Of the total output of the refiner-
les and the other two-thirds can practi-
cally be refined free of cost. If this be
the case also, why does not Mr.. Have
meyer sell the higher grades of sugar at
lower cost-lower eve than the price
of 1.-THE poor mans sugar" upon which
1.-THE cost of manufacture generally is
e~Apended!"
Since the operation of the Mckinley
tariff the cheaper price of the high grade
sugar, such as graduated, has resulted
in its much greater consumption, with a
consequent lessening of h demand for
the low grade yellow sugars ION which
the greatest amount Of capital and labor
is employed In its manufacture and the
cost Of manufacture generally is ex-
pended" Therefore it is quite fair to
assume that more than 20 per cent of
the sugar refined now consists Of high
grade sugar, and that less than 80 per
cent 10 ''the poor mans sugar, the cost
of manufacture, therefore. having been
decreased proportionately.
II MI. Havemeyer We're really as So
licitous for the welfare of 1.-THE poor
man" as he would fain have had the
senate investigating committee believe,
he would at once cancel the secret con-
tract that now exists between himself
and the wholesale grocers of the coun-
try, whereby special percentages and
rates of discount are allowed them in
return for their support and patronage.
q system hat has the practical effect
of creating a trust among the grocery
trade and Of preventing competition in
the price of sugars retailed to 1.-THE poor
man."

Silver Resolutions.

LEwIsTowS, Mont, Sept. 8, 1894.
EDITOR ARGUS: Dear Sir: AS you
are at the head of the only organ ad-
vocating Republican principles IN this
county, | wish. through the columns
OF your paper, to express to my Re
publican brethren my disapproval OF
the resolutions adopted relative to
silver in the Republican county con-
vention which assembled Saturday,
Sept. LIST.
The financial depression in the west,
caused principally by the action OF
congress in tampering with the silver
law, is deplorable indeed, too much so
to be credited to the honest senti-
ments OF intelligent statesmen. And
in the tace of all the evidence at hand
hat silver must be restored to its
place with gold, and that brought
about 10y the action OF the solid west
united on the question, it is, to say
the least, n preposterous ab~surdlty
for a local or county convention,
whose prosperity in u great measure
depends on the restoration OF silver
to its PROF er place with gold as a cir
culatIng medium OF exchange, to ex-
press their sentiments as evasively
and bypocritically as they are ex-
pressed in the resolutions adopted by
that convention. IL is to break away
from the financial interests OF our
country to which we owe loyalty, pro-
lection and affection. In fact the
resolutions adopted are q ~cowardly
and evasive makeshift which any in
telligent man should be ashamed to
sanction.
You say in commenting on the &C
ton OF the convention that you
think" placing on the word think in
its connection with the subject con-
siderable stress, that 1T should have
read for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. Honest Republicans, we
are tired OF thought, We want action.
You say you don't think local reso-
lutions cut any figure in national
issues. ] suppose you don't think
man or woman from an infant grows.
suppose you don't think local senti-
ments to national sentiments grow,
suppose you don't think the princi.
piles on which our state representa-.
tives are elected cut any fl ,urein their
choice of principles for national rep
r~esentatives.
Well, ii you don't, please allow mt
h space in your paper to inform my
Republican brethren hat | do. That
also believe the supporters OF those
resolutions were not only political
towards but moral towards at heart
and not worthy the name or recogni
ton that should be accorded a true
loyal and patriotic Republican, such
as characterizes or has characterized
the majority OF the Republican party
That We have and are still being de
ceived by the d~emagogic OF republi
canism there can be no doubt, and
hereby pledge myself to employ al
honorable means to defeat every ear
didate who sanctioned those resolu,
tions or in any way supported its
principles.
You will ask, how am | going to
better myself? In answer | will say ]
will take an open enemy any time in
preference to a secret one.
In conclusion | will ask your gener
osity to favor me with space to give
my Republican brethren my views.
am still a Republican but not OF the
kind that composed the body OF the
Fergus county convention. ! am
Very Respectfully Yours,
BRECK ORNgAUN.
