Wien the last session OF Congress ad-
iournsd there was pending bill TO re-
move the differential duty on refined
sugar On the eve Of the assembling of
the present session the Sugar Trust
closed its works and threw thousands of
men out Of employment, in the hope of
influencing Congress in favor OF retain
ing the duty. The president Of the
Trust offered as an excuse for the shut
down that his establishments could not
run at a profit under the present tariff.
A little consideration will show the &C
ton Of the Sugar Trust in its true
light, that it was purely bluff" in
tended to influence Congress.
This Trust was forced to 60 out OF
existence as a New York corporation
and took refuge under New Jersey
charter. The real capital Of the Trust
is $40, 600, 900, which has been watered
from time to time until it has been
swslled to $4,000, 900. 10 1892, it is
said, il earned a dividend of $50 per
cent, but so high an authority as the
the New York Journal Of Commerce
estimates its profits at 200 per cent, or
S22, goo, 900 a year. It's president re-
ceives a salary of 100000 a year.
These are astounding figures, but not
improbable, considering the enormous
gratuity Of not less than S20,OOO,OOO
a year bestowed upon the Trust by the
Mckinley bill. The Trust has not been
operating its works three months under
the new tariff law to which IL attributes
the shutdown, but has been refining
raw sugars imported under the old law
free Of duty. Before the. Gray investi-
eating committee the president OF the
Trust admitted that it made profit Of
3755 cents per hundred pounds. At the
worst the repeal OF the one-eighth cent
differential would do no more than re-
duce the profits of the Trust to 171S
cents per one hundred pounds, which
on the business admitted to have been
done would yield an annual profit Of
81, 600, 600.
Recently the Sugar Trust declared its
regular quarterly dividend Of three per
cent, which does not show that the or
ganizatlon is in Strengthened circum-
stances. A concern that divides twelve
per cent. annually among its stock
holders on an enormously inflated capt.
tai is not one that calls for help by the
government.
The time for bestowing government
bounty on trusts like that enjoyed by
the Sugar Trust under the Mckinley
bill is past. McKinleyism is dead.

legislature, deplores the prevalence o.
lynching in that Commonwealth, Of
which nine instances have occurred
during the present year, and none Of
the perpetrators have been brought to
Justice. As a remedial measure he sug-
gests, in addition TO the regular pains
ana penalties for such crimes, that a
law be enacted giving the State execu-
tive authority to remove from Office any
sheriff or other official who fails to
make manful resistance to attempts to
take prisoners from their custody; also
giving TO the family of any person who
may be taken from the hands Of the

SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

The President and the members OF his
cabinet celebrated Christmas In the old
fashioned way-making 1t essentially q
family affair. At the White House 1t was a
genuine children's day, everything beng sub
ordinated to the pleasure Of the little ones.
There was a Christmas tree set in the library,
the first that the Cleveland children have
called their own, and Mrs. Cleveland herself
added the finishing touches to the tree,
which, while not of great proportions, was
very beautifully trimmed and decorated with
tiny parti-colored electric lamps in place of
the old time wax candles.
Gifts for the little ones, were numerous and
almost until noon ex press wagons and mes-
sengers came laden TO the White House. As
usual the President remembered all OF the
employees In the house. Every one got fat
turkey and to his personal servants the Presi-
dent gave substantial gifts of money, an ex-
ample which was followed by Private Secretary
Thurber with his own household and attend
ants.
Mrs. Cleveland also had q pretty little
present for each OF the employees. She her
self received very many Chr istmas presents,
the Presidents token being very beautiful.
The only guest stopping at the White
House was Mrs. Cleveland's mother, Mrs.
Perrine, and the dinner was strictly limited
to the family. Preceding ii, however. there
was q pretty little luncheon set out for the
children of the Cabinet, who came to the
White House to see the Chr stmas tree.
All the members of the Cabinet ate their
Christmas dinners at home in the bosom of
their families, and perhaps the largest gatner-
ing was at the Carlisle home. where the Sec
retary and Mrs. Carlisle entertained their
children and grandchildren.

1t is still expected that Jonn Burns. III
English labor leader. Will be here Saturday
and Sunday next. hut il Is only because no

ments made at Denver ior those dates and
nothing from Mr.. Samuel Gompers recalling
the statement in his letter to Mr. James A.
Power that Mr.. Burns will certainly speak

in accordance with the directions OF the

AFTERNOON Mr.. George A. Tracy. brennan of

it is reasonably certain that unless be answers
within iorty-eight hours very little preEara-

One conjecture as to his continued silence
Is that be Is in the hands OF Samuel Gompe
ex-president of the American Federation of
Labor. and Mr.. Gompers holds II grutge
against Washington The local federation
has never animated with the American, and
several years ago there was a rather bitter
feeling between the leaders OF the two organ
izations. 1t is supposed Mr.. Gompers may
remember this and so refuses to pay any at
tention 20 letters from here.
Another suggestion Ia that Mr.. Gompers
relies upon Mr.. Burns high reputation to
gather as grea, a crowd as can be reached by
announcing the day before where and what
hour he will speak. Mr.. Burns led the great
successful strike Of the freight handlers at
Liverpool two years ago, and in a short time
came to the front rank among labor agitators.
Since then his fame has grown steadily, and
now he is greeted by great crowds wherever

LOOKS LIKE A MURDER,
Walter Johnson Is in a riticai Condition
at the Emergency Hospital.

Walter Johnson Is in a ritical Condition
at the Emergency Hospital
1t was found necessary yesterday to per-
form delicate surgical operation on Walter
Johnson, the young coiored man, who was
almost disemboweled shortly after midnight
Christmas morning during an alteration at
Twenty-second and L streets northwest, as
stated in yesterday TINES.
The OF erat.on was accordingly performed
at the Emergency Hospital by DR.. Parker
and the hospital s"a?. Johnson's wound
consisted of deep cut fully three inches in
length in the abdomen, and the operation OF
cocliotomy was necessary to prevent the in
testines from protruding.
The patents condition is critical, and
there may be a turn for the worse. followed
by the PATIENTS death. at any moment
The aifray is still shrouded In mystery and
the Third precinct police have five men locked
up on suspicion of being the one who did the
cutting. johnson himself and the others
profess the greatest ignorance of the matter,
but the police have an important clue and ex-
pect to land the guilty party to-day. The
cutting took place at the above corner after
the saloons had closed and another colored
man named William Lee was also painfully
cut about the head and face during the melee.
