whoIs Benefited.

It costs just about cent a pound
to refine sugar. For that reason the
tariff rate on imported refined sugar
was placed at that figure. The Wilson
bill reduces the rate one-half. The
present cost of raw sugar is 3 cents,
and the German refiners are now able
to land refined sugar in this country at
4 ccnts 9 pound, paying the present
duty. With the duty reduced to / of q
cent a pound the reiners would be able
to market sugar in this country at 3.65.
AS the raw sugar would cost domestic
refners cents this would leave them
.65 to pay for refining, meet all trade
discounts, and other Incidental expend.
itures; in other words, on this basis
there will be no margin of profit. The
alternatives is q reduction Of wages in
order to maintain the American re-
finers or else let them go out of the
business. II they close then the for
etgn reiners have monopoly of the
market and will put up prices Just as
far as they can without inducing the
American factories to start up again,
In this way American sugar factories
are either closed or else the wages of
employees reduced, and meanwhile the
people of the United States who con-
sume the sugar do not buy it any
cheaper. Who is benefited, exceptinr
the foreign manufacturar?-Burline-
ton Hawkeye.

Trick of Wilson'S Committee.

Like the Secretary of State in the
case of the Blount report, the special
Cleveland newspapers were furnished
by the Ways and Means Committee
with the rates of duty of the Mckinley
law, compared with the proposed duties
OF the Wilson law. It is very imper-
feet and q very misleading perform.
ance: It is misleading because it.puts
the decrease Of duty from the Mckin-
ley law to the Wilson bill as q percent-
age. By Its figuring for instance, the
I'd valolem duty ON barley under the
Mckinley law Is 1928 per CONT, while
the duty proposed in the Wilson bill is
20 per cent.-the difference being
called 1926 per cent. This is decep.
tive. because to the causual reader Il
win appear that the duty has been ne.
duced less than one-half, when In fact
the per cent. Of reduction is over Us
Fer cent. So on potatoes the ad va
l0rem duty under the NICK Kinley law
ts figured at ,2t.8 per cent. and
under the Wilson bill as 1855, and the
difference as 1888 per cent. Both
duties are specific. being 25 cents unde.

A RATHER curious review has been
made by Professor Oettinger in his

cal distribution Of crime. He says, for
instance, that comparatively few mur-
ders occur In Turkey, country deranged
and unsettled in its affairs, wherein q
large proportion of the people are lack

Islam faith is productive of certain
religious sentiment in these uneducatcd
masses which prevents murder. the

Market stree5 and Boulevard would say:
Mr.. Browning has brought before me
three or four credible witnesses who stated
| that from the time the sewer was first la id
| the lamp hole was never properly covered
| but was always above the surface with a
loose cap which was frequently off. My
! previous opinion was based upon the state
ment Of an assistant engineer that the lamp
hole was properly covered at the time the
sewer was accented Nov. q, 1893 The acci-
dent occurred Nov II, 1898. II the court
and jury should believe the testimony Of
| Mr.. Johler's witnesses, IL would appear
! that the lamp hole was in an unsafe con-
dition at the time the sewer was accepted
! aud that that acceptance and the inspec.
tlon which should have accompanied il
were so near the ,time Of the accident that
the city would be charged with full notice
Of the defect In this view of of the case
think it would be wiser to settle with Mr..
Joher If 1t can be done upon terms which
seem reasonable to the committee.

OLIVER TWIST At WONDERLAND.
An Enjoyable Performance Given by
Manager Davis Stock Company.

An Enj oyabls Performance Given by
Manager Davis Stock Company.
"Olivsr Twist" a drsmatizAtion of
Dickens great novel, was introduced
at the Wonderland theatsr last night,
and the reception accorded it am ply
satisfied the management of this popu-
lar resort that the play will prove a
great attraction.
The title role was assumed by Miss
Grace Contoit in q manner which will
satisfp the most critical Will d. Cor
belts impersonation of the villain, Bill
Sykes, admits of no improvement,
while Gus Romer ~ Fagin, and Alice
Kemp as Nancy Sykes scored frequent
applause. Tue murder scene was par
ticularly realistic, the murdered Nancy
being dragged across the stage by the
hair. aud other business" of the scene
being done in wonderfully real and
horrible manner.
Last nights rendition of the play
gave evidence that all lovers of the
melo drama will have no fault to find
with Wonderlaud's "Oliver Twist"
