DID THEY GET THE "sUGAR?v

DID THEY GET THE "SUGAR?"
The burning question OF the hour in
the senate is: How many senators have
had their palms crossed by the sugar
trust? Accusations were freely made
in the chamber on Wednesday that not
few had been permitted to purchase
blocks of stock in the corporation at the
recent decline, and that on the reaction
they were able to dispose of the stuff at
a considerable profit. The transaction
is said to have resembled the Credit
Mobilier operations Of nearly a genera
ton ago. The senators did not have to
handle the stock or to appear in the mar
ket. They were simply informed that
certain number of shares had been
purchased for their account. and. a
large advance having occurred, their
brokers deemed it advisable to sell, and
had placed the profit realized to their
credit. 1t was a perfectly legitimate
affair, as such things go. 1t was simply
an act of friendship, nothing more.
The presence in the senate committee
rooms last week of the president of the
sugar trust, followed, as it was, by the
announcement that tariff upon sugar
had been agreed upon. is suggestive of
some crookedness. Unfortunately, all
of our senators are not above suspicion.
They are known to have an eye to the
main chance, and do not inquire too
closely into the legitimacy OF a transac-
zion in which the profits are large and
certain. They have been known to
wink the other eye" occasionally, and
| to pay religious adherence to the prov
| erb, speech is silver. but silence is
! golden" 1t may be that the hints that
| have been so freely made within the
| past few days are without foundation,
aud that they are entirely innocent.
| But the circumstances are nightly sus-
! picious. 1t is little singular that men
who have for years been praising the
wisdom OF previous congress in giving

| should become so suddenly converted to
| the doctrine of protecting sugar bv a
large import tax: and the circumstance
! of the conferences with Mr.. Havemeyer
| and the concurrent fluctuations in the
trust stocks do not serve to quiet the
suspicion engendered.
1t is not new thing for senators to
speculate In stocks or products whose
value is likely to be affected by legis la

their taxes to him. The clerk immedl-
ateiy makes out a revised list containing
the names of all delinquents, together
with the amounts owing. The revised
list is at once turned over to the board
Of county commissioners to be acted
upon at their next regular meeting. The
board at this meeting cancels the names
of all who they think cannot be forced
to pay. The state presents the re vised
list of last year, and 1t shows the initials
of County Commissioner Lavallee in red
ink opposite the names which. as al

and also contains various erasures of

the county auditor being noted to each

ures in blue without authority. The
