BY GETTING their raw material free,
the sugar trust made two dollars a bar
rel more on its product under the Nc
Kinley, than it does under the German
bill. The people not only save that
much now, but. in addition, save the
bounty of two cents a pound that was
then paid to the sugar planters. All
this saving goes into the Treasury, and
thereby avoids the necessity of impos-
ing a tax on salt and other necessaries
of life.

The Treasury Department has de-
cided that when not prohibited by the
constitutions of their respective States,
there is nothing to prevent counties in
such States from issuing bonds of the
denomination of one and two dollars,
which may be used as circulating
money. Why do the populists cry for
per capita, when the Treasury points
out to them a way by which to get it,
and to increase it to the full extent of
their limitless desires?

THE striking weavers at New Bed
ford, Mass, after two months of "vaca-
tion." with all the necessarily attend
ant evils thereof, to themselves and
their families, have resumed work for
the same wages they were receiving
when they abandoned it. The first
blast of q long and cold winter taught
them what they didn't have common
sense enough to know until then, that
man must earn his bread by the sweat of
his face, and that idleness is not condu-
Give to sweat.

ONE OF the Richmond newspapers
says: "It is greatly to be regretted that
any organization is still to be found in
these United States favoring the I'M
American and un-democratic idea of
sboycotting." And yet a meeting OF
the "business men" of Richmond re-
solved that the boycott upon the
Baughman brothers, of that city, who
determined to conduct their own busi-
ness in their own way, ''should stand. J"
another meeting of the "business men"
of Richmond should be held and the
resolution referred to be repudiated.

Wool has advanced and sugar de-
creased in price. But still those who
want to repeal the German, and re-en-
act the Mckinley bill, say the effect of
the former is injurious to both the
wool grower and the sugar consumer.
But they would just as soon say ono
thing as another.

RICHMOND, SINCE the war, has become
a peculiar city. Among its present
laws is one imposing fine and imprison,
ment upon young men who stop on
the street, look at, and respond in kind
to pretty girls who may bow and kiss
their hands to them from the windows
of a female academy. For them not to
do so would be against the instincts OF
human nature. The fault is inside, not
outside the academy. The girls should
be taught to behave themselves, along
with their other studies. When
youthful blood is mantling few can
stand the fascination of beauty's gaze,
as Byron said in words to that effect.

SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 10, 1894.
CHAIRMAN WILSON, of the ways and

CHAIRMAN WILSON, OF the ways anu
means committee of the O. S. House OF
Representatives, has not read history
in vain. He says that "of all human
governments, free government IS the
most complex and difficult, and Juag-
ing from the worlds experience, the
most uncertain and short-lived." He
doubtless loves free government, as
all other wise men do, but his love
doesn't blind him to the inherent evils
of such a government, which must,
sooner or later, destroy its vitals and
force its subjects to seek stronger one'
for self-preservation. Recent events IN
this country are the echoes OF the MUIR
muir of the advancing step OF the
change that will take place here.

JUDGING FROM the fact that at the
recent election in Florida, where the
populists, thought they had the solid
support of the republicans, of all the
State and county officers, only succeed
ed in electing one, and he minor one,
it doesn't look as though the populists
will cut much of figure in the South
at next months elections. AS the two
chief principles of the populists are free
trade and cheap money, and as the
democrats agree with them in the for
mer, and both democrats and republi'
cans are leaning toward them in the
latter, the existence of the populist par
ty seems to be utterly unnecessary.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-Ex- Indian
Commissioner Morgan, in an address
last night, made a bitter attack on the
Catholic church. He characterized the
Roman Catholic bureau of Indian
missions, at Washington, "a political
lobbying machine which terrifes Con-
gress into passing laws for its benefits"
and referred to Archbishop Corrigan as
extending his jewelled hand to be kiss
ed by the Mayor of New York city on
his knees. ''The Catholic Church." said
the speaker, sis the mainstay of Tam
many Hail." he charged that the meet
ing of archbishops at Philadelphia be-
hind closed doors was for the purpose
of plotting against American institu-
tons.

GOLD IN COLORADO.
Postmaster Freeman Returns from
Characteristics All Right.

Postmaster Freeman Returns from
Coiorado-She's Al, Right.
Postmaster Charles II. Freeman re-
turned on last Friday from an ex-
tended trip west to Colorado, whence
he was called to attend Il meeting of
the board Of directors-of which he is
one-of the Sioux City Gold Mining
company. The company OWNS a piece
of very rich property near Russell
postoffice, in Gilpin county, forty miles
from Denver. The mine is in the cen
ter of Russell gulch, out of which there
have come millions and millions of
dollars.
The Sioux City Gold Mining COM
panv is stocked for 100000. The
mine has been actively worked by the
company for several years. The ore
taken from the various leads have as
| sayed as high as $1Oi a ton, which is
remarkably satisfactory. The meeting
Of the board was with a view to add to
the force of miners and prosecute the
work o vigorously by adding bet
ter pumping facilities.
Speaking Of the gloom which spread
owe Colorado from a business point OF
view, last August, Mr.. Freeman stated
that Colorado was looming UP spfen-
didly; that gold mines, which hereto
| fore had been allowed to lie idle from
the fact that silver mines paid better,
were now being worked and it was
not at all improbable that Colorado
would lead California as a gold produc-
ing region in the near future.
Colorado is coming to the front"
said MI. Freeman, land nothing can
stop it. She has diversified interests
