NO FREE SUGAR.

THE CALLS Washington correspondent
is quite positive that there will be no at
tempt at the coming short session of Con-
gress to put sugar on the free list. 1t is
we'll that there should not be. Millions of
dollars have been invested in the sugar
growing industry in the expectation that
the bounty of 2 cents pound would be
paid for some years to come, and as there
is no hope of bounty from a Democratic
Congress the best that can be expected is a
continuation of the present duty. With
improved processes of extracting the sac
charine matter from bees it is probable
that profit may be found in that industry
under the present law. Farmers will bear
In mind that wheat is lower now than
when the sugar-bounty bill was passed
and reason that the beet industry is CON-
paratively as profitable now as then.

Ject is tastsful to the steel king. His
talk On that topic ended, so far as the pub
lie knows. in the Interview he held with
President Cleveland, in which the latter
was persuaded to remit part of the fine the
Navy Department bad imposed. Mr..
Cleveland will doubtless read with regret
that Mr.. Carnegie has no confidence 10
Mr.. Cleveland's ability to work out cur
rency scheme better suited to the condi-
tons or the country than the one we have
now. But Mr.. Cleveland should not take
Mr.. earn egie's criticism too much to heart.
Mr.. Carnegie did not bel eve in Mr.. Cleve-
lands tariff reform notions until the little
misunderstanding with the Navy Depart
ment. He became convinced, however,
about the time that part of his fine was
RENTED that little tariff reform would
do no particular harm. Things may hap
pen which will reconcile him to Mr.. Cleve
lands new currency scheme, whatever it
NAV be.

SOMEWHAT TOO PROGRESSIVE.

Miss Frances E. Willard, president of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, delivered an address at Cleve-
land few nights ago which has provoked
considerable adverse comment. The lady,
who has been regarded as an example OF a
woman's ability to deal with large affairs,
appears to have become entangled in sew
eral of the fads designed for woman's
destruction. She indorsed the single-tax
movement, advocated the appointment of
q Cabinet Minister 10 supervise amuse-
ments, the appointment of women on the
police force, compulsory education, and
declared that the national system of all
means of locOmOtion and communication
was less important than the ownership Of
newspapers by the people"
Precisely how the people are to own and
conduct newspapers Miss Willard did not
say. A press censorship would perhaps
be the resdiest way. The question might
be raised as to whether the people, acting
in their individual capacity, should exer-
else this censorship or whether the Gov
eminent should exercise it In Russia and
some other despotic countries the Govern
ment would exercise il. In the United
States, France and ENGLAND the reading
public defines the policies of newspapers
much more directly than they do the
policies of the Government. With here
and there an exception, no expensive daily
newspaper is published in the United
States that does not study the humor of
its readers. a newspaper cannot long re-
main personal corporation organ without
showing its chains, and when it shows its
chains it loses its hold upon the public
mind.
Miss Willard has done a noble work in
her day, but she seems to be growing i'm
patient at the slow advance of the world
she addresses. When reformer hints at
coercive measures to advance reform ne or
she betrays a lack of confidence in the
justice Of the cause advocated. In our
country newspapers and amussments will
reflect the tastes Of the people. While
these tastes may not be of so high a
standard as reformers would IKE them to
be, an attempt to elevate them by force is
almost certain TO leave the reformer with
out large following.

THE ILLINOIS sENAT0RsHIP.

Since the.electOn number of sspirants
for the senatOrship have drifted into sight.
1t would be hardly fair to class Mr. Joseph
Medill of the Chicago Tribune as an as
pirant, but he is in The field through the
advice of his friends. There are two OBJ
jections against Mr.. Medill; one is that he
did not "cbirp" until after election, the
other that personally he is believed to be
in favor of free trade. 1t is certain that
the Tribune approved of President Cleve-
lands free-trade message to Con gress in
1886 and that for many months the Tribune
furnished free-trade papers with their
most cogent argument The Tribune
changed its course lately and is now strong
~ inclined TO protection.
Assuming that Mr.. Medill has been con-
verified to the policy of protection the Re-
publieans of California would hail his cleo
ton with pleasure. No paper east of the
mountains has done more TO expose the
iniquities of the Central Pacific manage
ment than the Chicago Tribune. If any
Huntington refunding bill should come
before the Senate while Mr.. Medill is a
member it would encounter Mr.. MedilPs

A PRACTICAL TEST.

Admiral Meade announced at the late
meeting of the naval architects and en-
gineers that on some early convenient op-
portunity be proposed to start the new
cruiser Columbia from New York an hour
or two after the sailing of the Majestic or
the Teutouia, with orders to overhaul the
Atlantic greyhound. just to see how near
she could come TO doing it. The Columbia
was built to chase just such craft as the
Majestic; if she cannot catch them, but,
on the contrary, they can show her their
heels, her reason for existence does not
meet the public eye. In modern maritime
warfare the race is to the swift.
Admiral Meade is believer in battle
ships and a disbeliever in cruisers. He
argues that while the cost of a battle ship
of the type of the Indiana Is about three
millions, cruiser like the Columbia costs
over two millions and a half and does not
carry as big guns nor as heavy armor.
His disposition to rely upon the mer-
chant marine for swift cruisers in time of
war harmonizes with the teachings of mod
err naval architecture. The chances are
that no cruiser afioat could catch the leu
tonia, much less the Lucauia, if they had a
few miles start
1t is impossible to convince a sailor that
we ought not to go on building ships of
the type of the Indiana at three millions
apiece. In the report on the progress of
naval architecture and naval gunnery
which was quoted the other day in these
columns the naval experts insisted on
more battle-ships. Admiral Meade, in his
recent paper, declares that the country
will not be safe until We have twenty bat
tle-ships afloat. In the battle of the Yalu
the Chinese battle-ships bore the brunt of
the Japanese attack and neither one was
disabled, though not so we'll handled as
the Japanese ships. A battle-ship Is so
big that she presents target which it is
almost impossible to miss. The Chen
Yuen was hit four hundred times, but none
of these shots struck her machinery in a
vital spot
Admiral Meade seems to be near the
truth when he says that in time of war we
might rely on our merchant marine for
cruisers and commerce destroyers. 1t
would not take long TO arm ship like the
ST. Louis, and if we had a few more such
ships they might perhaps hold their own
against an enemy's cruisers. The law of
naval warfare was laid down thirty years
ago by two of the ablest men who ever
gave attention to the subject. John Erics-
SOD, the inventor of The monitor, said that
the chances of success in naval battle were
in direct proportion to the smallness of the
target presented to the enemy; and Com
modore Vanderbilt supplement ed this die
tum by the assertion that superior speed
was the key to victory, as there never had
been and never would be q gun invented
that was equal in solid work TO the ram.
These are propositions which have not
altogether been lost sight of at the Navy
Department to-day.
Our coast-defense monitors are deve-
opment of EricsSOn's idea. and we have
built one armOred ram and will probably
build more as the navy is further de-
veloped.

HE STILL LIVES.

Ex- Senator Thurman made a little
speech a few days ago to some of his

ulations on the occasion of his eighty first
birthday anniversary. Mr.. Thurman
thought 1t incumbent upon him to account
for the recent defeat of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Thurman was a little hazy
about causes, but was clear about the out
come. he said:
But we are bound to beat them, and why I?
Because the Democratic party is the natural
