Raw as Well as Refined Sugar
Placed There by the House.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The House TO-
day determined on the abolition of the
duty upon refined sugar.
1t was passed upon just before the
House adjourned last night A way
out of the confusion which existed
upon the effect of the amendment
adopted last night was found after
two hours discussion of the parlia-
mentary situation by submitting the
question to the House as to whether
the Warner amendment placing re-
fined sugar on the free list should be
considered as a substitute for the
Robertson amendment.
This was decided affirmatively, and
then, by an overwhelming vote in
which the Republicans joined with the
radical Democrats, against the sugal
men and several members of the Ways
and Means committee, the substitute
was adopted.

GRIM COURTROOM HUMOR.

From the Newcastle Chronicle:
Grim humor has often played con-
spicuous part in criminal trials, and of
the notorious Irish hanging Judge.
Lord Norbury, some curious stories are
told. A man was once tried before
him for the awful offense of putting
out his tongue at a constable. His
lordship ordered him to be whipped on
three successive days from the Jail to
the market house. When his lor1ship
had concluded, the prisoner exclaimed:
THE devil thank You; that's all you
can do" Whereupon his lordship, re-
Stunning, said: Hold your tongue, sir:
how dare You interrupt the Judgment
OF the court?' and significantly added,
land back again"
Of the same judge il was said that he
had never been known to shed tear
but once. and that was during the rep
resentation of the ''Beggar's Opera"
when Macheath got a reprieve. 1t is
also related of him that he once asked
an eminent special pleader at the din
ner ia BILE whether the dish near him
was hung beef, because. if So he would
try it. IF you try it, my lord, - was
the bitter reply, 1T is sure to be
hung"
Lord Braxfeld, Scotch judge, once
said to an eloquent culprit at the bar:
you're a vara clever chiel mon: but
I'm thinking We wad be none the waur
o a hangin'-"

complained bitterly that he should be

from friends and home. The judge felt

it's the fear of that same that thrub-

But funnier still, in its unconscious

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS,

Every organization has its mission,
and every mission is for the lettering of
human conditions. One of the latest or
CARNATIONS is the y. P. S, c. E. The
aim of the Christian Endeavorers is to
make the world more Christ-ike. The
state convention of that order has been
in session at Topeka the past week, and
the founder of the order. Francis f..
Clark, was present. Young people and
ministers from every town of considera-
bic size in the state were present at the
sessions, and the enthusiasm at times
was so emphatic as to be sweeping. The
order has spread over the whole Chris
,ian world. Like the Young Men .
Christian Association, it is non-sectarian.
The society In Kansas has increased 30
per cent in year. As it has to do with
the youth, it is therefore to be CON-
mended: as it puts them to work on lines
which tend 10 develop Christian charac-
ter, therefore it should be encouraged.
The tenets of the order are not only
broad enough for all churches, but broad
enough for humanity everywhere in
every condition of life. Taking the
teachings of Christ as their standard,
the nearer the world comes to the work
of the Christian Endeavorers the nearer
perfection will it be.

MONEY SWAPS EVERYTHING.

Who says we are not developing an
aristocracy of wealth? Let him who
doubts cast his optics about and see who
rule in government, in commerce and in
society. If any harbor the delusion that
letters or logic, precepts or morals, are
potent in the affairs of today let them
make the test. Let the scholar, the
teacher or the preacher plant his battery
before the baron or the millionaire, and
see who will be crushed. Let the parson
cross swords with the heir of fortune,
and then invoice his reputation. Let the
specialized professor measure arms with
untutored Croesus, then give a cold
water banquet to his admirers. Let in
herent virtue tackle the pride of pelf,
and who will stand sponsor for the
right?
Public opinion is the bngbear which
reduces the populace to the most servile
cowardice. 1t brings the multitude to
the feet of mammon, and where num-
5ers make up the verdict, wisdom and
virtue are ruled out of court.
Character, culture and refine
ment are held as common
merchandise to be had for the mere ask
ing, and cash consideration. He who
has the stuff planks down his shekels
and arrays himself in the artificial cheap
clothing which admits him to respecta-
bility. Whatever his bent, or wherever
inclination leads, he occupies the front
seats. At the best hotels ne has the
choice rooms and the best service; at the
theater his jewels glitter from the choice
box, and in church he snoozes in the
front pew. He carries the night key to
brown stone front; he rolls in the
cushioned luxury of oriental splendor,
and surprises his stomach with in
terminable decoctions of the culinary
art. He is the pet of the political boss,
the favorite at the county convention.
He puts up the needful and the mob
bowls him into congress. He has sure
thing of the Irish vote, and dead cinch
on the "saloon element" Whisky is
potent in politics and money buys the
fiery stuff as well as the man who sells
it. The roll call of congress reveals the
sad result. The Adams, the Websters
and Summers are supplanted by the
Morrissys and Murphys. Brains yield
to brute force and patriotism surrenders
to the force and influence of stolen
wealth. This is the Babylon we have
built but what of the FIXTURE?
