The onus Of proof is on the DEM
ocratic senators, who have sugar
stocks to speculate in, to show that
they have not been monkeying
with the tariff bill in the interests
OF those stocks. There is at least
sufficient probability in the charge
to require that the senators inter-
ested purge themselves from the
charge.

st. Louis Globe Democrat sees
little consolation for the Demo-
crazy in any probable outcome of
the discussion on sugar:
"The sugar schedule of the Will
son bill is destined probably to
cause the Democrats more trouble
than all the rest of the measure.
1t is sure to create hard fight in
the Senate, and if, when the bill
passes that body, sugar carries a
duty, there will be serious
wangle with the House in cOnse-
quence. The House decided to put
refined sugar on the free list, where
raw sugar already is, and will I'M
dOubtedly make a hard fight for
this policy"
The House cannot stand up to
the sugar hOgshead against the
Senate and demand such action as
will certainly make Louisiana a
Republican state. There is limit
even to Democratic audacity and
the leaders Of the party see that
the limit is about reached.

A CURIOUS DEADLOCK.
There have been some curious deadlocks
in the non-partisan boards of commission
ers which help to govern and misgoyern
this city, but none as curious as that which
is now on in the non-partissn Board of
Police Commissioners. This board is
deadlocked upon the question, Shall police
officers do their full duty. The question
came up for answer at the meeting of the
board last evening in this form: Where.
as, 1t has come to the knowledge of the
Board of Police Commissioners that certain
patrolmen claim that they are deferred
from doing their full duty in reporting
violations of the law from fear that their
official positions would thereby be jsopar-
died, be 1t therefore resolved, that the
Board of Police Commissioners expect
each officer and pa.rolmsn to do his full
duty in the detection and prevention of
crime, and failure to do this will be the
condition whereby his official position viii
be placed in jeopardy.
Astounding as 1t may appear to the peo-
pie to whom the Police commissioners are
responsible, the question Shall police off,
GERS do their full dutya was not answered
by the board. The three Republican COM
missioners voted in favor of the resolution
and the three Democratic commissioners
againet it. The mayor wasn't present, and
go 1t may never be known whether he would
have chosen the lady or the tiger had
he been there. he had an opportun-
ity last evening to exercise some of the lit.
tie power he has, and 1t is a pity that he
wasn't on hand to exercise 1t. 1t can't be
that he is at all uncertain about the proper
answer to the question.
The Police commissioners have made
very interesting exhibition of themselves
in this whole matter. At first they trested
the complaint of DR.. Smyth with hest
tating courtesy, then with weak recalcit-
rarcy and now with foolishness which
surpaeses anything seen here since the
aght over the old State House. 1t gives
Ms mitigsted pleasure to record the
fact that the Board isn't unanimous In
the foolishness and that the dissenters
are Republicans, but 1t is . disgrace to the
city of New Haven that 1t has Board of
Police Commissioners that Is capable Of
csming to deadlock in such matter. If
half the members of the board are not GER
tain that they want those under them to do
their full duty 1t is time for the people to
do theirs.

A Dogs knowledge of Time.


How do dogs know the time of dsyi
some one asks the writer, and proceeds to
relate some stories to prove that they do
know it. One of these stories is about q
collie who starts every afternoon to meet
past hve train. Trains are continually
coming and going. and whistling and ring
ing, but Pete pays no attention to any but
this one. As soon ss its whistle is heard
he begins to bark joyfully, and never
makes Q mistake. Another dog became
90 much accustomed to going to the school
houss every morning with his little mas
ter that, when the boy was absent for sev-
eral weeks, the dog still went on going to
school, arriving punctuslly at nine O'Clock
every morning. Moreover, he ne yer went
on Saturday or Sunday.
With regard the fret case, II might be
replied, perhaps, By a scepticsl psrson,
that the dog Was more likely to be able
to distinguish the special whistle of the
locomotive which drew the half past Eve
train than to know 1t by the hour of the
day. And yet the writer has no sor. of
doubt that dogs do know when q GER
tain hour arrives at which something reg
ulsr and accustomed tskes place. The
second case seems to prove this very
thing. There is q case on record In
which o doctor, who was accustomed to
visit q certain village at q certain hour
on . certain day each week, always found
dog of his acquaintance waiting for
him outside the town; and II was proved
that the dog never came to the p'acs at
any other day or hour. Evidently ell
that can be said In explanation of such
cases is that animals are susceptible of hsv-
ing periods or circles of time established
in their intelligence by use, and that
their ignorance of time-piecss only serves
to make the instinct the keener. 1t is
well known that men who have never
possessed watches, and who work or
hunt habitually at distance from clocks,
are very expert at estimating the lapse
of time. Perception of this kind un-
doubtedly may be cultivated In an intelli-
gent animal as we'll as In man.

GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION.

There are some people who are psrenni-
ally uneasy because God isn't verbally
''recognized" in the Constitution of the
United States. They want the opening
declaration of the great document to read
like this: We, the people of the United
States, (dsvoutly acknowledging the su.
preme authority and just government OF
almighty God in all the affairs of men and
nations, grateful to Him for our civil and
religious liberty, and encouraged by the
assurance of His word to invoke His guild
snce ss Christian nation, according to
his appointed ways by Jesus Christ our
Lord) in order to form more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common de-
fense, promote the general welfare, and
secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity, do ordain and establish
this constitution for the United States of
America.
What the people who are sgitsting for
this change expect from It is not plain. It
locks to most thoughtful people as If there
were nothing to bs gained by it. God is
recognized" in the Declaration of Inde-
psudence and 1t is generally understood
that this is Christian country. The men
ton of God In the Constitution will not
make the country any more Christian than
1t now Is. God is mentioned on the silver
dollar. but such mention doesn't appear to
do any ybody, or the dollar, any good, nor
does it add to the Christian character of
the country. God is in the Constitution
of the United States in very real way.
and ths mention of him therein In the
way proposed would not add to the
impressiveness of his presence there. And
It would detrsct somewhat from the gran
deur of the instrument. For instance, 1t
might have some such feet 90 that spoken
of by the New York Christian Advocate,
which says: To introduce the name of
"Jesus Christ our Lord" into the constitu-
tion of the country would be q step toward
the union Of church and state, which, 60
long as we wish liberty of conscience, We
can never advocate. We dopot agree with
those who would strike off from the coins
''In God we trust" nor would we main
tain the possibility of thoroughly secu-
lsrizing our government In its forms
and phrases. But with the recognitions
already mentioned, the use of the holy
Bible in courts of justice to authenticate
az far as possible the testimony of wit
nesses, and the legal prohibition of busi-
ness on ths Christian Sabbath, We should
be content. An agitation such as this can
simply arouse opposition where 1t is now
| slumbreus, and lead to the unrestraiued
uttersncs of sentiments provocative of
irreverence and irreligion.
The formal mention Of God In the Con.
stitution would not add to his glory OF
power. II would not broaden or deepen
the Christianity of this country. And II
would tend to mix religion with govern
ment In . way that was not contemplated
by the wise founders of this nation.
