The Sugar Tax.

This is the way the Press puts it:
The Republican party can ask nothing
more for two years to come than the
passage ofthe Sugar Trust schedule by
the House. A Republican mai Ority is
already secure in the next House.
Let the Senate sugar schedule be
adopted by the House and Democratic
defeat will be Democratic rout. Two
years ago the men who now go back
from Washington to ask a reelection
were going up and down their districts
calling for a change and pledging their
party to bring better season for the
people and a worse for monopolies.
Trusts were to be harried. MOnopo-
lies were to be attacked. The great
and acceptable year of the people was
at hand.
In every district these Representa-
tives next fall face closed mills and
bankrupt stores. Labor is idle. Capt.
tai is lost. A ''change" has come, and
with it depression, desolatiOp and loss
unalterable. This is bad enough. Add
to this the stencil of corruption, and
what will the verdict be? at is be-
lieved by the country" said HGrper's
W eeRty, Will rigorous accuracy, C0aC
the Sugar Trust has been paid for
liberal contributions to the Democratic
campaign fund"
From a mere partisan standpoint,
nothing could be better than for the
Democratic House to sell itself as the
Senate has; but this grave issue has be-
come too serious for partisan argument.
The national honor is involved. Ma.
tional integrity is impugned. By
mingled motives, by campaign con.
tributions, by aiding personal specula.
tion and by uniting diverse interests
the Sugar Trust has bought and bullied
its way in the Senate. Monopoly has
used the great food-tide of 1892 tC
grind its own grist and its own grist
alone. Is the Democratic House going
to pass over the meal?
We trust not. Differ as we may or
party questions, we are Americans all
Opposed as we may be on the tariff
here is an issue that transcends tariffs
They come and go. They rise and fall
A National Legislature bought anC
sold by the sugar trust is stain which

In View OF Water Works.

AS this important question is now
before the Newberry public, the follow
ing from the last issue of the Yorkville
Enquirer will prove of interest to onr
citizens:
"Speaking Of the quality of the water,
a prominent physician said the other
day: at is undoubtedly the healthful
water supply to be obtained in York
vile. But few of the wells in this
place, if you ever thought about it
can furnish real pure water. This is an
old town. The people have been throw
ing garbage and other filth on the sur
face for good many years. This, of
course, is natural consequence, and
could not be otherwise. These surface
impurities have, in the course of time,
been gradually filtered down into the
earth, and to greater or less extent,
permeate the water underneath. 1t
finds its way, in greater or less Quanti-
ties, into the water that goes to feed the
wells, and to a greater extent than
most people would imagine, isthe cause
of typhoid fever and other forms of
disease"
The above is rather q scientific view
of the situation. 1t is true that most
people think very little about the mat
ter from this standpoint, and as rule
they care great deal less; but there is
sense in the reasoning of the physician,
and 1t will no doubt be worth the
while of the people. especially the
occupants of long settled premises, to
give the subject suggested thorough
Investigation.

METHODIsTs AT MEMPHIS.
The Work OF the General Conference OF the
southern Church.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May Ain the
second days sesson discussion was
caused by the statement in the min
utes of yesterday that this was the
twenty-seventh session of the General
Conference of the Southern Church.
The purpose of the statement is to link
the Southern Church to the famous
General Conference of 1884. The state
nent was finally adopted.
The Conference COL led yesterday,
all the ten bishops of the church being
present. DR.. w. H. Harrison, Secre-
tary of the last General Conference.
was elected secretary. The roll call of
the 34S delegates showed nearly every
delegate present.
The pastoral address of the bishops
was by DR.. Cranberry. The address
shown that the affairs Of the church
have steadily prospered. The member
ship in the Southern connection is now
!, 100000, net gain during the quad
renium of 10000. Over $500,000 have
been raised for domestic missions.
The women of the church have raised
for missions nearly $4,000. The in
creased activity of the youths of the
church was mentioned as I. cause for
rejoicing. The bishops treated the sub
ject Of evapgelists at length. Succinct-
ly stated, it is suggested that each
annual conference be Civ power to
appoint one or more eva cyclists to
work. Iu the episcol al address the
bishop called attention TO The danger
involved in forming separate ''socie-
ties" for the promotion of holiness,
whereas the church exists to promote
holiness. They exhort the church to
avoide extravagant expressions in
speaking about religious experience.
While the point is not made directly,
the paper gives out the opinion of the
episcopacy that in case any bishop
should be prevented from work by
physical disability his colleagues could,
without serious inconvenience, dis
charge the additional duties. It is,
therefore. not likely that any new
bishops will be made.
