The people Of these United States
will continue to get their sugar
cheap, but the sugar industry of
this country has been sacrificed in
order to accomplish it. This is
one OF the free gifts of the north

allies. How it is relished will ap-
pear later on in the drama.

There is such a perpetual four
tain of brotherly love gushing forth
from the breasts of those Brazilian
admirals that they prefer keeping
out of range of each others guns to
bringing on an engagement in
which some one might possibly
get hurt. The society for the pre-
ventiOn of cruelty to animals will
find all things to their mind in the
fleets of both navies.

There has been no legislation
favorable to the Southern states
in Congress since the war, that has
not been the work of a Republican
Congress. For this they have re-
ceived only the continued distrust
and opposition Of the south. 1t
may be that after a while they
will know their friends.

Because a city cannot do all
things that she would, is no reason
that it should rot do the things
that it can. If san Antonio can
not construct sewers and put in
new waterworks it can improve
the streets and drain such of them
as lie within less than a block Of

The large increase in the free

SIX YEARS EACH.
Heavy Sentences of the
Emerald Ring.
A Stay of Proceedings Refused-The
Smugglers VIII Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

"Smugglers in this part of the United States
are going 10 swear of, and they are not going
TO wait for the new year to do IT," District At
tOrney Garter remarked yesterday morning as
he left the United States District Court room,
where Judge Morrow had just sentenced the
members Of the Emerald ring to six years con-
fnement in San GU ntln and 10 pay a fine of
$4,000 each. The sentence took the breath
from the prisoners and rendered their lawyers
speeches. for several minutes.
The Jury that convicted the prisoners had
recommended them 10 the mercy Of the court,
aud th il lawyers when the men were called
for sentence yesterday supplemented the iury's
action with pathetic appeals for clemency.
Wichman and Thomas had been men of good
regulations, and they argued that Greenewad
was suffering from asthma. Attorney Garter
suggested that the adequacy of the punishment
following conviction should not be LOST sight OF
IN The deluge OF Sympath Tie pleas of mercy.
Judge Morrow first disposed of the motion
Tor new trial he was satisfied that the pris-
oneTs had produced all the evidence possible
that they D d been ably defended and that the
court and jury had not erred in the trial of the
case. He spoke of the enormity of The crime
OF conspiracy against the laws Of the United
states. which the smuggleTs had violated by
means OF their number and wealth. They had
silenced officers, had brought their boat laden
with smuggled opium and Chinese past Gov
eminent inspectors aud had landed its cargo
IN broad daylight. lt was time 10 put an end
TO such work, or the opium SmuggIers here
would feel that they could safely defraud and
defy the Government as the whisky distillers in
the South had done.
Alter sentence had been passed, Attorney
Cook, who represented Thomas and Wichman,
asked for stay of proc edlBgs To order that
he might prepare an application for a witt Of
error. The court refused to grant the request,
and the prisoners were returned TO the Alameda
County Jail. Their attorneys will appeal in
their behalf to the United States Supreme
Court Ii is now believed that WIchman will
