General Master Workman Sovereign
of the knights Of Labor is so wrought
up over the strike at Pullman that he
has declared that he will never ride in
Pullman car again. Possibly this resolve
on his part may inure TO the benefit of
the treasury Of the organization he rep.
resents if, as is the practice in some
other organizations, his official travel
ing expenses are payable cut Of that
fund. But there are great many work
men in this country, who, although
neither masters nor general masters, are
good, honest, sober, industrious and
altogether worthy people, who have
never ridden and never expect to ride
in Pullman cars, for the reason that
such an indulgence would be luxury
they feel they could i'll afford. Thous-
ands Of men and women, as deserving
as this potentate, are called on errands
Of necessity by rail from their work
shops and humble homes every day in
the year who look as matter of course
upon being compelled to make their
seats in ordinary cars their couches, as
best they may, for such little sleep as
they may be able to snatch on their
night trips.

When Mr.. Hayemeyer, in his exami.
nation before the Senate investigating
committee, was reported as saying that,
so far from having talked with Presl-
dent Cleveland regarding the sugar
schedule, he had never seen the Presi.
dent. the impression conveyed 10 many
readers was doubtless that he meant that
he had never met the President; that he
had never seen him to speak to him.
But the stenographic report makes it
plain that the word was used by Mr..
Havemeyer in its strict literal sense.
DO you mean to say inquired Senator
Allen, that you have never seen Mr..

Yet one Of the sensational stories
sent out by the newspaper correspond.
ents who appear to have known so
much that wasn't true, intimated that
the President and Mr.. Havemeyer had
spent days together on Mr.. Bcnedicrs

Here is another interesting extract
from Mr.. Hayemeyer's testimony:
I'm fact, said Senator Allen, the very
purpose of the formation of the trust, as I
understand you. was to advance the price
OF sugar to the American consumer p
Yes: sir" was the frank response.
And the American consumer is to-day

refined sugars more than he would be

prove embarrassing to protectlonists. 1t

some others fostered by Mckinley taxa

not in the trust. But Havemeyer is
president of trust and was testifying
under oath.

Senator Quay comes out of the sugar
investigation unscathed," says the
Morning Neus This is o tribute to the
rhinoceros hide which serves the Penn
sylyania Senator as an epidermis. He
told the committee bluntly that he had
been specializing in sugar while the
sugar schedule was under consideration
but that he sold out at loss before the
vote was taken. He claimed that he
had a perfect right to thus speculate.
considering that he unloaded in time to
vote with clean hands. There may be
some Democrats more culpable in this
matter than Quay, as our neighbor sug-
gests, but there is not enough in this
consideration to warrant the investiturc
Of the Pennsylvania Senator in even a
secondhand halo of sanctity picked up
at protection junk shop. AS an ex-
change puts il; Senator Quay is
credited in some quarters with boldness
in taking this position, but 1t is simply
the boldness of impudence and moral
obtuseness."

The Hayemeyer brothers, Henry o.
and Theodore A., who are at the. head
of the sugar trust, have come by their
familiarity with sugar refining interests
honestly, whatever may be said of their
financial or political methods, remarks
an exchange. Their father and grand.
father before them were at the head of
the sugar refining industry OF the
United States years ago, and the family
owned the largest refinery in the coun-
try long before tie trust was organized.
When the two original Havemeyer
brothers retired, they were sue
ceeded by their two sons, William
F., who afterward was mayor of New
York for several terms, and Frederick
G., the father of both Theodore a. and
Henry o. Havemeyer. 1t was said of
Frederick c. Havemeyer that he knew
more about sugar refining than any man
in the world. lie learned the business
both theoretically and practically, and
it is said that the present Theodore is
as familiar with the business as was his
father before him.

The venerable Mrs. Harriet Beecher
stowe, immortalized among writers
through her authorship of "Uncle

year, not in robust health but stronger,
physically and mentally, than she was
year ago. The copyright on the great
work to which she owes her fame has
expired within the year, but it is pleas

The New Orleans States is gratified
to find at last something complimentary
to say of the United States Senate, in
that il has voted to place cotton bagging
on the free list. When the Wilson bill
left the House cotton ties were on the
free list, but the bagging In which the
bales of the fieecy staple were wrapped
was taxed at the rate of IS per cent ad
yalorem. This was felt as an unfair
and unjust discrimination by the cotton
planters, because the House had placed
binding twino and grain sacks on the
free list in order TO benefit the wheat
and corn growers Of the west.
FOR years the hard working farmers
Of the South" says the States, shave
been taxed for the ties and bagging on
their cotton without getting any return
whatever for the money they were com.
PEELED to pay, because the English buy
ers at Manchester and Liverpool de-
Quoted as tate % pounds from the
weight of every bale, which, as Senator
Blanchard SO forcibly explained, was
about the weight of the bagging and
ties. Now, however, that the southern
farmers have been relieved Of the tariff
tax, or will be as soon as the Wilson
bill is passed, they will get their bagging
and ties cheaper and as a matter Of
course will realize more from the sale
Of their cotton this year. The placing
of cotton bagglng on the free lis, is one
Of the few good changes the Senate has
made in the Wilson bill, and the most
important so far as the South is con-
cerned."

Are Germans more liable to attacks of
suicidal melancholy than people Of
other nstionalities? We should not
imagine so, indeed VIC should think
decidedly otherwise, but some one has
raised the question and the Freie Presse
thinks there may be something in it.
"rhe German" it says, seems from
birth to be more infected with nagging
melancholy than any other nation.
Every mortal is more or less liable to
melancholy, but this is not dangerous if
he fights it down or, in other words,
drives it away with more healthful and
enjoyable thoughts and exertions. But
the German conscientiousness, character
and training tend more to these lament
able catastrophes. The German feels a
wrong or misfortune much more deeply
than his fellow men, and this condition
may have much to do with impelling
many to end their lives in this tragic
way"

The Boston Herald, referring to a
statement that company has been or
ganized to introduce into this country
the telephone system in use in continent
tai Europe, not as rival to the general
system Of the Bell Telephone Co., but
for private and household purposes,
notes that none Of the telephones thus
far brought out since the expiring of the
Bell Co.'S leading patents seems to meet
the public expectation or need, and that
there is a great deal left to be desired in
the way of improvement. Thus far the
instruments IN use on the continent Of
Europe seem TO be much more effective
But American ingenuity should not, and
we believe, will not, be content to yield
the palm to an imported telephone ser.
