Case for a Special Commission,

What lot of humbug there is about
TINS Vermiform appendix business! eX-
claimed Ruggles, looking up from the
newspaper he was reading. says the Chi
CagO Tribune. The idea that everybody
is in danger of dying from getting a
grape seed or bit of apple skin lodged
in portion of his anatomy that few per-
sons ever heard of until a few years ago,
is absurd. It's a fad That's what it is.
WHATS a fad?" inquired Croxton, lay
ing aside the magazine he had been read
ing.

It's something everybody's remotely

That's what I suspected. Your little

Don't try to crawl out of it, Ruggles
You bet me $50 you hadn't any vermiform

your own confession. There was nothing

War on the Sugar Trust.

It is stated that the democratic sena-
tors that opposed the passage of the free
sugar bill at the last session have agreed
TO pass the bill before congress adjourns
this winter. The bill passed the House
near the close of the last session. 1t was
the understanding that If the House would
agree to the changes which the Senate
had made i'm the Wilson tariff bill the
Senate would pass separate bills putting
on the free list The House carried out it's
part of the agreement, but the Senate
failed to do So 1t was the understand
ing that Senators Brice, German. Smith
and others were opposed to the bills. If
that understanding was correct what is
the cause of the change in the views Of
these senators?
In this connection a rather startling
statement is made. 1t is that the sugar
refneries of the sugar trust are all to be
shut down, with the exception of two,
and that $1,000 men will be thrown out
of employment. 1t is stated that the
president of the sugar trust announces
lndl the trust Is making no money Duli
in fact, is losing money every day,
and that therefore there is no reason
why it should keep its rehneries in OPP
Grafton.
1t is difficult to tell how much or how
little truth there is in these reports. If
they are true the coming short session
of congress is likely to be a lively one.
While it is true that in the Wilson bill,
as framed by the ways and means com
mittee, sugar was not on the free list,
it was put on the free list by the vote
of the House. AS the Wilson bill passed
the House it would not have provided
revenue sufficient for the needs of the
government, and it is not certain that
it will do so now, although under it a
very large revenue viii be collected from
sugar.
1t is quite certain that neither the Pres
ident nor Secretary Carlisle is in favor
of free sugar, not only because they are
opposed to striking a death blow to the
sugar industry, but also because the treas
ury needs the revenue from sugar. If it
be true, therefore. that free sugar legis,
lation is on the programme, and the sugar
trust has decided to shut down its rein
cries, there is a movement of some sort
afoot of which the public is not yet in
formed.

Julian Ralph, correspondent for Har-
per's Weekly. who is doing" the oriental
war, charges that the ships of our navy
that are supposed to be protecting Ameri-
can interests in China and Korea are not
at the points of danger, but are at Jap
anese ports where no war operations are
being carried on, but where, as at New
port and Bar Harbor. the ladies are ex-
ceedingly attractive According to
Mr. Ralph, American interests at
the danger points have been
obliged to depend upon British,
Russian, and German ships for protec-
ton. The authorities at Washington say
they have official advices to the effect
that the ships are at their proper posts
Of duty, and that while American interests
are being protected at certain ports by
the British, Russian and German ships,
the interests Of those countries are being
protected at other ports by American
ships. The several foreign navies in jap
anese and Chinese waters are operating
on reciprocity plan, in so far as pro.
tecting the interests Of their several coun.
tries is concerned.

The majority Of the weekly papers of
Georgia that take notice of the Purse
railroad bill do not attempt to discuss it
in detail, but condemn it on the general
principle that legislation adverse to legit-
innate railroad enterprise is a bad thing
for the state. They say that it is useless
to try to induce capital to come into Geor-
gia, for the purpose of building railroads
or otherwise developing the resources of
the state, as long as the legislators are
eternally trying to pass laws inimical to
the owners of capital.

Texas, Cotton and Populism.
From the Pittsburg Post Dem.).

Texas, according to Representative Say
ers, this year will make 100000 bales OF
cotton. or one-third of the entire crop of
the United States. In the course of a few
years he says, Texas viii produce all the
cotton that is used in the United States.
The great gains of the pOpulsts-and
mittee says he would have been beaten
but for republican aid-were because the
producer only gets AZ and ) cents a

From the Chattanooga Times (Dem.).

The one way Hill and Smith of New

chiefly New York-and a few ether sena-
tors can for the coming calendar year or
longer, defeat the tax. will be to defeat
any appropriation for its execution sent
to the Senate from the House. They can
do that; they probably Will; but Cleve-
land has no sort of use for that gang,
their methods and projects. He will not
join in any such scheme. He knows
the country must have the revenue the
tax would yield; and. though not liking
the form OF the law, would naturally pre-
fer that 1t be enforced until such time
as ii can be properly amended.

Sherman's idea Of Placing Bonds.

Senator Sherman favors such revision

that the government has got about
through with borrowing for the present,

Senator Gordon of this state, who is
making a tour of the northwest, is quoted
as having said in Minneapolis the other
day with reference to the bolt of the sugar
planters in Louisiana, that whether or not
the bolt would be permanent depended
upon the attitude of the next. congress.
If a conservative tariff policy were pur-
sued he believed the sugar bolt would
develop into quite a force. If high tariff
radicalism prevailed its opponents would
be unified, and the bolt would fall by the
wayside. Accepting this view of the pros
poets, it looks as though the bolt would
fall a victim to the activity of it's friends.
The action of the sugar trust in closing
refineries for the purpose of attempting
to force legislation will not be without
effect upon the people who vote.

newspaper quotes with evident sat
isfaction an interview with Amos
Cummings in which that err
ratio and repudiated congressman
says the new issue of bonds was made
without necessity or law, and was forced
by men of large wealth as a means to en-
able them to escape the income tax. In
Mr.. Cummings language: Men of large
means are. by this issue of bonds. given
a means of investment at fair interest
without being required to pay a tax on
the income of the investment" As a
matter of fact, the income tax makes no
exceptions touching the source from
which income is derived. Persons who
derive income in excess of $1,000 per an
mum. from United States bonds or other
wise, are required to pay a tax on such
excess, and holders of bonds are given
no advantage over any other class of
persons The conclusion to be drawn is
that Mr. Cummings was more anxious to
make point against the administration
than he was to be accurate.
A number of the most prominent men of
Denver, including merchants, lawyers,
bankers etc, have sent petition to the
governor praying that he permit the re-
opening of gambling places. The petition
ers say that the suppression of gambling
in Denver has deprecated the value of
real estate, has hurt the merchantile bus
mess of the town and greatly reduced the
amount of money in circulation. The Pc
titioners probably referred to the contrac-
ton of the circulation in the hope that
that argument would touch a tender spot
in Gov. Waite's populist heart.
The Washington News, discussing the
probability of ex-Secretary Elkins sue
ceeding Senator Camden of West Virginia.
says: Mr.. Elzins is as much of demo-
crat where the tariff is concerned as Mr..
German is a republican on that question. q"
To accept that statement would be to put
Mr.. Elkins' political standing very much
in doubt Can the News say whether it
was the tariff or the fact that Mr.. CIeve-
land was in the white house, that was
responsible for Mr. Germans republican
ism in the last session?

Quake IN THIBET.
Eight Hundred and Fifty Houses De-
molIsheA--The Total Deaths Will
Probably Reach Into the ThOn-
sands, while Many Are Missing.

Victoria, d. g., Jan. 22.--Priyate ad-
vices received by the Empress of Japan
give fuller particulars Of the earthquake
dcvaStations In the mysterious territory
moi tli of the Himalayas, where Skoolhak,
the Buddhist "God Incarnate," reigns
supreme over the hearts Of the Thibetans.
Owing to the extreme remoteness Of the
country, information of the Tremendous
disaster had only just reached the coast
when the Empress Of Japan sailed for
An erica. The viccroy of Szechuan, Lou
Ping Chang, who represents the civil
authority of China In the Distressed ter
ritcry, has made public appeal for
81 ccor, and In his memorial says that
the grand mcnasteries of Hueyuan and
Kemis, the home of Buddhism, IRE III
ruins, and seven small lamasaries are
buried In the wreck of the former. Eight
hundred and fifty houses belonging to
native Thibetan soldiers, and occupied By
them and their families, met the same
fate. Seventy-four Lama priests and 100
Chinese and Thibetans made up the roll
of those whose bodies had been found
and identified. There were also many
" Cres of unidentified corpses, while the
missing are legion.
The total of fatalities will probably
reach into the thousands, upward Of 400
men We're mortally wounded, but were
still alive when the memorial left the
viceroy, and the distress caused through
out Thibet by the shock is beyond ex-
aGgeration. Famine threatens the land
and the cry for bread is to all creeds
and to all people. The greatest misfor-
tune of all, however, Is, to the mind Of
all devout Buddhists, that which has be-
fallen their sacred head-the holy Skool-
hsk. He Is among the missing from
Lhassa, where the monastery of KeInis
was, and the circumstance, although zeal
ously guarded by the faithful for fear
that knowledge of it might rend asunder
the entire fabric of the ancient faith, is
rapidly spreading through all the East
erl lands where Buddhism Is the religion
of the masses. The outcome is beyond
CT lcElation, the shrine a heap of ruins
and the holy one missing from the earth.
The Lama morf steries of Huelyuan end
Kemis are situated in the heart of the
civilized portion of Thibet, and for ages
the latter has been the seat of Buddhism
proper.
