see Baker at his fathers hogse and of fered him a handsome sum for the things Instead of reeoiling, Baker began to talk business at once and asked for 8 bigger price. The two men hagglod over the affair like they were making a hog trade, but finally the agent had to give in and closed at the higher f@are.
 Then they went over the house, which has been closed since the day of the murder Even the agent shrank back as they entered the room where the butchery took place, but Moore Baker betrayed no emotion. He cooly rolled up the blood-stained bedelothes, mattress, pillows, even the nightdress which his wife had worn, and made them into a bundle He also turned over the ax and the shotgun which had been used.
 The residents of Franklin Park are much wrought up over the sale. But Baker is not in the least distur bed at their comments upon his despicable proceedings

The House.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-After five days of debate the pension appropria- tion bill. carrying Sss5! ,00o, ,o09, was passed without division. Throughout the debate there has been no criticism of the amount carried by the bill, the debate being on the one hand confined to an assault on the manner in which the present commissioner of pensions had administered the office and his al- legged unauthorized suspension of pen sions, and on the other to defense of the attempt of the commissioner to purge the rolls of those who were not entitled to place upon them
 All the amendments to the bill save one, that of MT. Pickler to make the reports of the examining surgeon open to Inspection of the applicant or his at- torneys, were defeated. They all fell under points of order that they were not germane.

Dedication of Ghiekamauga and Ghatta-

 CHATTANOOGA, March 9.-The Times is in receipt of a letter from General H. V. Boynton. announcing postponement of the dedication of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military park from September, 1894, to Septem- Der, 1895. The reasons given are that the tariff question, occupying the at tention of congress, would prevent final action on the bill appropriating funds for the dedication in time for this year and that the Grand Army of the Republic would probably meet in Atlanta, Ga, next year and could thus easily participate in the dedication.

Changes In The Sugar DUTY.

The sugar planters ofLouisiatA
have shown themselves willing to
accept revenue reform, and to
agree to q reduction in the duties
on sugar. They have as a matter
of fact, accepted more and greater
reduction than made in any othsS
leading product of the country.
The history Of tariff Legislation
in the United States has been a
history Of changes in the sugar
duty-almost as many as have
been made in this schedule since
the Wilson bill was introduced.
The duty has never remained sta
tionary, and tiie planter has cult
waited his crop under the most ad-
vease circumstance because When
he planted it the chances were
that the harvest would be under
an entirely new and different duty.
When the Republicans inaugu-
rated their tariff policy in 1864,
the duty on raw sugar not above
No. 12 Dutch standard was three
cents a pound, and Oh raw sugar
above No. IL and not above No.
Is, the duty was three and half
cents pound. On refined sugar
the duty was five cents a pound.
Reduced to ad talorem, the du-
ties on raw sagar under that tariff
were about 70 per cent or nearly
twice as much as proposed under
the Wilson bill.
The tariff in 1872 fixed the duty
on raw sugar not above No. 10
Dutch standard at Two cents a
pound, and on refined sugars
three and a quarter cents, which
was changed in 1879 to two cents
a pound and rs per cent ad vslo.
rem on raw and four cents on re.
fined sugar. In 1883 the duties
were reduced to two and three
and a half cents respectively; Of
72 per cent I'D valorem. Ther
followed the Mckinley bill, which
did away with the duty save hal
a cent OH refined sugar, and pait
a bounty on the home produced
sugar.
The duty now proposed on su
lgar is the lowest Ever in this coun
try, and brings II down TO tn
walker tariff bill of ante belluu
,days, which was then considered
a free trade measure. In no othe
larticle does the Wilson tariff bill
make such reduction as compare
with previous bills of the sam
lcharacter. We mention this d
showing that the planters hat
been willing to accept their fl
share of the reduction in duty; il
deed, they are asked to submit
greater reductions than any 9TH
industry in ths countrS.-Time

OUR sUsOoL CENSUS.

Year after year the REGISTER has
called attention TO the annual farce
called the School Census, and year
after year the farce has continued,
growing more and more farcical.
The Board of Education evidently
does not think this enumeration OF suf-
fcient value TO have 1t done right and
so to keep within the letter of the law,
which requires an annual school cen
sus, it turns the work over 10 women
and children.
The result is, consequently, such a
mass Of absurdly wrong and nousensical
figures, as were published in yester-
days REGISTER, giving 3 decrease in
the population Of Wheeling since the
census Of last year of 1,725, and a de-
crease in the number Of children Of
lao, figures which are absurd.
What pestilence has so decimated the
Sixth ward that 1t has lost 1,57s Of
population in the past year, and what
remarkable wave has swept over it's
neighbor, the Fifth, thatitshould, dur
ing the same time, have increased
1,133l
This So-cAllsd census is, of course,
utterly worthless, but what is TO be eI-
pscted when the work, instead Of being
given into the hands OF competent men, is
turned over to women and children who
are totally unit fer the difficult and i'm
portant task. II would be far better to
leave the work undone and go by guess
work than TO accept these figures as the
official school census Of the city. Their
publication does actual harm. making
US out TO be, instead Of a growing CON-
mu nifty, q city whose population is on
the wane.

A SUGAR FALsEHOOp.

The New York Herald in an unguard-
ed moment the other day was taken in
10 the extent OF special" containing
the utterly baseless charge that Senator
CAMDEN was involved in the rsopsning
pf.the Sugar TrHSt investigation to the
sxtent that w. r. WHEELER & Co.,
New York brokers. bad in their posses
zion an order signed by him for the pur-
chase Of sugar certificates.
The Herald, had il been less anxious
10 publish a sensation, would have re-
RENDERED that Senator CAMDEN during
the former investigation emphatically
and in toto denied having had anything TO
do with OF having speculsted with sugar
certificates. The Herald did, however,
the next day published an emphatic de-
NAL Of it's yarn from Senator CAMDEN.
Now, the brokers, Messrs. WHEELER
& Co, add the weight Of their denial,
which is conclusive, stating that they
have no such order from Senator CAM
DEN as that referred to.

this character are responsible for the
