A Duty on Sugar.

Our Washington dispatches yesterday
conveyed the impression that the finance
committee of the Senate, being unable to
reach any conclusion relative to a duty on
refined sugar, had about determined not
to report in favor of duty on raw sugar,
but to let the sugar schedule in the VIII
son bill remain as it is. 1t is safe to say
that this impression is erroneous.
When the Wilson bill passed the House
there was quite a general impression
among the members thereof that the Sen
ate would put duty on sugar. II was
not believed that congress would permit
a vast industry that provides about one
tenth of the sugar consumed in this cOun-
try to be utterly destroyed. Ifsugar could
be produced at profit without the assist
ance of duty or a bounty, it would be
permitted TO remain on the free list, but
it cannot.
There are two strong arguments in favor
Of a sugar duty One is that the revenue
from the duty is needed, and the other is
that without duty or bounty the cul-
tivation of sugar would cease, and the
millions of dollars invested in sugar plan
tations and sugar machinery would be
virtually lost
1t is a mistake to say that the McKin-
ley tariff does not tax sugar. 1t is true
that it admits raw sugar free of duty, but
it provides a bounty for sugar plan
ters which amounts to about one-half
centa pound on imported sugar, which the
people have to pay. If, therefore, are
democrats should put duty on sugar the
republicans would have no room for as
sorting that they made sugar free and
that the democrats taxed it,
If tax is put on raw sugar there will,
of course, have to be a duty on refined
sugar, because the manufacturers could
not afford to pay duty on raw sugar
unless refined sugar were taxed.
The Louisiana senators are holding out
for cent and half pound duty They
say that less duty will not afford them
a margin for profit 1t is not at all prob
able, however, that they will get a
greater duty than a cent pound.
The great fight will be over the amount
of duty to be put on refined sugar There
is determined purpose in congress to
break up the sugar trust, and hostility
10 the trLst explains why so little consid-
GRAFTON was Shown in the House to the
sugar producing interest. The sugar re-
hners insist that they should have greater
protection than the sugar producers. The
indications are that they will not get it,
The same amount of duty is likely to be
put on refined as raw on sugar

Lem and the Duluth Council.

Tariff reform is terribly menaced. On
one side there is Lem Quigg, Of New York,
with his snickersnee unsheathed for the
hearts blood of the Wilson bill, and on
the other side there is the new city coun-
Gil of Duluth, Mimi, elected on Wednes-
day for the especial purpose of perpet-
uating protection.
Just how Lem and the Duluth council
are going to compass the objects for which
they were elected is not apparent. But
they must do it, The tariff was the is
sue upon which they claim to have been
elected, and they and their supporters
assured voters that a vote for them meant
a vote for protectionism. The tariff bill
has got out of the branch of congress to
which Lem was elected. But that must
make no difference to him. Hemust form
himself into hollow square and surround
the bill as it passes between the Senate
and the House when it goes to q confer
ence committee and punch the life out of
it before it can escape.
AS matter of fact, Lem has better
chance to vindicate himself than the
Duluth council has. Lem, being in the
same town with the bill. can make a
bluff at it, but the Duluth council is a
thousand miles away, and probably
wouldn't know the Wilson bill if it were
to meet it in broad daylight. But the
Duluth council must do something. 1t
must pass an ordinance levying import
duties on all goods brought into the
United States, and multiplying the Wilson
bill, or be forever discredited. The cam
paign in which the council was elected
was particularly hot. Religious questions
were dragged in by the republicans to
back up their tariff stand. They cleo
tiOneered against Jenswold, the pop
ulist, because his wife was a Catholic and
the A. p. A. controlled a numberof votes.
They made their campaign slogan, PRO
lection for American industries, and non
interference with American Institutions
The idleness of the iron mines was pointed
to as result of democratic control of
national affairs, and the promise was
made that if the republicans were re-
turned to power the mines and other idle
industries would start up again. Now the
city council must do something to restore
confidence and set the wheels a-humming.
1t is not to be forgotten that the beaten
candidate at Duluth was not democrat;
he was a populist, who had q modicum of
democratic support. The mass of demo
Gratis would not support the populist, be-
cause they feared the election of apopulist
would have bad effect upon the credit OF
the city.

The Joke Was on Reed

Al. Reed, passenger agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line, loves joke as well as anybody
says the Washington Star. Just now he is
laughing at good one on himself. The other
night he was going home rather late, and his
way lay down Pennsylvania avenue. About
twice in every block he was approached bv
some mendicant with plea for assistance
He substantially responded to the first two
but called a halt after that to save himself
from going broke. When he reached Sixth
street man as big as himself accosted him
and begged for 10 cents so he could secure a
bed Mr. Reed refused, but the other was
obdurate, and walked along by his side
pleading.
Il tell you haven't got 10 cents" said
Mr. Reed, at last. IF had I'd go and get
drink"
He repeated this several times and the beg
gar began to regard him euro lsly. At last
the latter said with compassionate intiec.
ton:
Well, say pardner: I reckon you need a
drink. I've got 10 cents. and can't get Q bed
for that; so, If yOull take beer, I'll set EN-
up"
The heggar slept that night between clean
sheets ana his room was warm.

A Pirate in the Tolls.

The people of White Plains, Rye,
Flushing and Millions Point, in the
state of New York, are, in a fig
urative sense, somewhat like Rud-
yard Kipling's Monkeys they are
telling some thrilling and some faneiful
stories, the while holding each others
coat-tails. For mysterious black sloop
that terrorized the people along the shores
Of Long Island sound has been captured,
aud their worst fears have been realized
she is pirate, with long, low, rakish
build, black lag, skull and cross bones
and all
The Millions Pointers and others have
long suspected the craft 1t was her Gus
tom to appear at unsupported times and
places and drift lazily along with the
tide, until some other craft evinced
desire to form closer acquaintance;
then she would raise a veritable
Flying Dutchman's cloud of canvas and
run away at such hot and inapproacha-
BILE gait that the water would boil in her
wake, Her hull was painted black, and
she carried crew of some eight men
who, through the hazy distance and a
pair of glasses, appeared to the Millions
Pointers to be typical buccaneers, heavy
of brow, swarth of skin and terrible of
visage The Pointers Just knew they
were pirates, from the first. And when
the neighborhood henroosts began to be
depleted they counted their assurance
made double sure.
The periodical appearance of the black
sloop at points along the sound after a
time got 10 be regarded as a sure sign
that somebody in the neighborhood would
lose something before the next morning.
No such faith was ever put in the weather
predictions as in the sign of the
black sloop, and whenever a rob
berry occurred within cannon shot
of the sound everybody said at once it
was the work of the pirates On Friday
night, week ago, store two miles from
high water mark was burglarized and a
whole stock of goods carried away 1t
would have required fifty men or several
wagons to remove the goods. But as no
marks of either men or wagons were to be
seen in the soft earth about the place, the
conclusion was inevitable that the black
sloop had sailed up to the back door and
taken the stuff away.
However, as noted, the black sloop has
been captured, and lies on the rocks
near Millions Point. In her eight-by-ten
hold were found silks, cottons, shoes,
clothing, and other articles of merchan-
disc, and above all else, black flag with
skull and cross bones. This last find is
incontrovertible evidence that the sloop's
crew were real, high toned, old-school
pirates, of the type of Capt. Kidd-pirates
to be feared and respected -and were not
measly sneak thieves, if they did raid the
henroosts. And that is why the natives
ape Kiplings monkeys when they tell the
story.

the son of an eminent Methodist minister
who was for years editor of the Southern

Carolina, Prof Weber was prominently
connected with a faction of the Demo
cratic party that is cordially hated at

Ex-President Harrison is quoted as

Lincoln League of republican clubs at a
lincoln celebration at Indianapolis the
other night: THE present distress we are
new enjoying is not due to any one man.
etc. Enjoying is certainly very queer
word TO use in that connection. But the
ex-President was talking to republicans,
and probably meant what he said. To
enjoy means to take pleasure or satisfac-
tion in the possession of; to have, possess
or use with satisfaction; to feel
pleasure or satisfaction in ones own
