SUGAR FOR THE SELECT.

No man who has never been boy
and had his fathers permission to roll
up his pants and hitch up his "gallus, 3"
and dive bodily into an empty sugar
hogshead to scrape and lick his fill, can
appreciate the happiness of that little
roterie of senators who were lucky
enough to get tip at intervals during
the incubation Of the sugar schedule
The daily report of sundry all night scs-
Blons of the committee, and the weary
yarns about their arduous duties were
only so much sand for the eyes of the
unsuspecting public. There is reliable
proof that the arduous part of their
duties was 10 sit on the hung at each
end of a telegraph line with terminals at
New York and Washington.
Ii is plain now that the thing sprung 2
leak early in the deliberations of this
overworked committee, and that the few
grewn up boys who had gained admit
lance to the ring were TO see that not
drop of treacle should go to waste.
Shares III the sugar trust were the vehi-
Gle through which the deals were handed
out III a silver ladle TO the said ringsters
and the trust in turn got the coveted 20
per cent advalorem as little matter Of
precaution against the contingencies of
short profits or possible bankruptcy.
With these facilities for business the
trust will probably continue its opera
tions at the old stand. The people will
pay this handsome bonus on sweet goods
but the sugar trust and our tricky tariff
reform SENATORS viii be in out of the wet
and IT will be a comfort to know that we
are saved the risk of so much sweet
ness being lost by being pacelled out
20 65,OOo,00 people. 1t would hardly
be taste for so many-for this small
circle it is yum, yum.

poPULIsrs AND THETR LEADERS.

If ever a party was polluted by bao
company it has been the Populist party.
Every time it has touched skirts with the
Democratic party it has had to answer
for it with humiliation and chagrin.
This is not said Of the Populist leaders
The Populist leaders are no better than
the Democrats, indeed if they are moi
Democrats. 1t is said of the mass of Pop.
ulists who wanted reforms and were
duped into making instruments of re-
form men who had neither the ability
or the inclination 10 reform anything.
The Populist legislature selected John
Martin to go to the senate. If they were
they sent John Martin there as an expo
nent of reform and nothing else.
What does this great exponent of re-
form do? How has he guarded the in
terest of his constituents? Did he vote
with the Populists in the senate on the
sugar schedule?
The sugar schedule as it was passed
by the senate is a gigantic steal. 1t was
passed by the Democrats, one Republic
can, Quay of Pennsylvania, and this
mongrel of reform, John Martin. The
Wilson bill as passed by the senate will
go into effect July /. That Is, all but
Dne part of it will. The one part that
will not go into effect is the sugar sched-
ule. The ad valorem of 40 per cent will
will not GO into effect until January 1,
1895. Why? Because between July
next and January 1, 1895, there will ex-
ist practically free schedule in which
time the sugar trust can bring sugar into
this country free and sell it next year to
the consumers with the 40 per cent ad
valorem added.
into effect at the same time that the re-
mainder of the tariff bill does?
Because the United States senators are
helping the sugar trust to steal $50, oO0,-
900 and will get their part of it. And
John Martin, elected by the Populist
vote for it. 1t was too brazen for him.
But he did not say one word against it.
It is the same old story. The Popu-
list leaders under the instructions and
influence of the Democrats have been
playing the Populist voters for suckers.
The Populist leaders organized and
maintained a rump house for three
months at the expense of $50, 900. They
have bought worthless school bonds at
the expense Of the state. They instituted
a court martial which amounted to moth
ing except to cost the people $4,000.
They approved state treasurer's bond
improperly drawn and of no protection
to the state. They placed fugitive
from another state in one of the most
Important offices in the state and had to
discharge HIM for populations. They
have fed diseased meat to the old
soldiers in the Dodge City home. And
for that matter there has been a scandal
in nearly every state institution during
their rule. And they have, by incen-
diary, idiotic mouthings, brought the
credit and the name of Kansas into dis
repute all over the Union.

just three feet of water in it that after

the river and around the mill were five
thousand sawlogs. When 1 saw that
1t was going to rain-that we were in

The aforesaid daddy with this infor.
nation glued fast to his understanding
thereupon glided softly into the frort
parlor and caniering over to Prince
Pointawoski gently Jared him just be-
low the tropic of Capricorn with his
boot
Prince Pointawoski got up and saunt-
cred out of the house at about eight feet
per saunt, kindly leaving that portion of
his pantaloons that the old mans boot
and the front door jam did not take,
with the bull dog in the front yard.
As a result of Prince PointawoskIs
downfall there is likely to be a great
revolution in the foreign noblcman ex-
change in New York. 1t is said on
excellent authority that syndicates exist
in Europe for the sole purpose of rigging
out pauper noblemen, filling their
pockets with coin and sending them to
America to- rake liz rich heiresses and
when the money is well in hand, divid-
ing.
If that is true the custom of rich
American girls marrying impecunious
lords has seen IFS best days.
The rich man of New York is too
shrewd, as the possession of his money
would prove, to give away something
for nothing. His daughter will not ex-
change the ducats for the dukedom
when the dukedom consists of trunk
full of ancient gambling debts and
spawned title.
The rich New Yorker is probably less
of an American than any other class in
this country, but he IS too much of an
American to allow himself 20 be beaten
in trade.
