A smoke consumer is a very desirable
thing in cities not blessed with natural gas.
but the difficulty has always been to get
manufacturers to take the same interest
In the matter that the suffering public does.
If they had seemed TO desire such an i'm
provement probably inventors would have
devised one Of a satisfactory kind. Up -
date, however, such inventions have either
been failures or too costly for general
adoption. At all events, those who should
have used them have not done SO. Now IL
is announced that a system has been de-
vised whereby the smoke is consumed with
a great saving in the cost of fuel. The ex-
pertinent has been tried on an ocean steam
er, with a result showing that $50 tons of coal
did as much work on the voyage as $50
had done on previous trips. With this
economical element involved manufacturers
and other extensive users Of coal may be
expected to manifest an active interest in
the matter, and the murky atmosphere of
cities is likely to be cleared with a rapidity
beyond all hopes of those who have en-
dured the nuisance. Self-interest is a great
promoter of public as we'll as private i'm
proyements.

SUGAR SENATORS n NEWSPAPER
CORRESPONDENTS.

The Senate committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges against certain Sem
ators of dickering in sugar seems to have
resolved itself into a committee to test
the power of the Senate to compel news
paper men to testify. The report submitted
by Senator Gray. chairman of the commit
tee. throws no light whatever on the main
question, but bears heavily on the corre-
spondents who declined to answer certain
questions propounded by members of the
committee. When the Investigation began
the country supposed that certain Senators
were on trial; now it appears that two or
three contumacious newspaper men are
the fellows the committee is after.
The Journal has said before, and it is
still of the opinion, that the correspond
ents who published the statements on
as a matter of public duty. to tell all they
know and give the names of their inform
ants. Unless they are under a distinct
personal pledge of honor not to do this.
they ought to do so. No imaginary code
OF professional honor could justify them in
such a situation in Withholding the names
of their informants. And yet their refusal
to do so need not bring the Investigation
to an end, and does not justify the COM
mittee in side-tracking the original issue
In order to test the power of the Senate
ox-ar COMMUNICATION xrffpaeSac The commit
tee should apply the probe in other direc-
tions. The partial report submitted by
Senator Gran discloses the interesting fact

were in the house at the time. though to
the best OF his knowledge and belief Mr..
Havemyer did not see any but himself.
But perhaps he did. Anyhow, what was
Mr.. Havemyer doing at Senator Brice's
house? If he was not there to meet Sena-
tors and get the sugar schedule fixed up in
his interest, what was he there for? Sena-
tor Caffery said: II was asked to meet
Mr.. Havemyer." Way did not the commit
tee ask Senator Cafery who asked him to
meet Mr.. Havemyer. and then summon
that person? Whoever asked Senator Caf-
ferry to meet Mr.. Havemyer had an object
in doing so. Why did not the committee
try to ascertain who that person was and
what his object was? Why did not the
him through a course of questioning? And
why does it not summon Secretary Carlisle
and ascertain if there is any truth in the
correspondents charge that he had a hand
in getting the sugar schedule fixed in the
Sugar Trusts interest? Finally, why did
they not and why do not they yet summon
the Senators who are charged with having
been mixed up in the sugar business?
There are many lines of inquiry that might
nave been followed after the correspond
ents declined to testify further.
The action Of the committee makes it
probable that the correspondents will be
indicted. The law provides that when a
person summoned as a witness before a
committee of either house of Congress
shall fail to testify and the facts are re-
ported to the House, 1.-The President of the
Senate or the Speaker of the House, as
the case may be, shall certify the fact I'M
der the seal of the Senate or House to the
district attorney for the District of Co
lumbia, whose duty 1t shall be to bring the
matter before the grand jury for their
action" Under this law, passed in 1857,
the facts in regard to the contumacious
witnesses having been reported TO the Sem
ate, it becomes obligatory upon the Vice
President to place the matter in the hands
of the district attorney. 1t remains to be
seen whether the Senate can compel the
correspondents to give the desired Informal
ton. Meanwhile. the country has a right
to demand that the investigation shall con-
tinue on other lines.

The Democratic Congressional commit

The table issued by the Democratic con-

this to the clerk who compiled it for Sem

for the purpose of deceiving the public in
regard to the effect of the Havemyer-Gor-

BY elaborate arithmetical juggling and
complacent misstatement the News at
tempts to prove that the present tariff
gives % per cent. more protection TO the
Sugar Trust than the Havemyer-Gorman
schedule in the pending bill does. OF course,
that it was mistaken, but for the Informal
ton of people accessible to reason we give
the following from a statement by Rep
resentative De Witt Warner. of New York,
who was recently eulogized by the News as
one of the most intelligent tariff reform
ers'' in Congress. Mr.. Warner makes the
following comparison between the present
law and the pending bill:
There were used in the country last year
about 1900, coo long tons of sugar, OF which
about 800, 900 tons were sugars refined here,
and of which 100000 tons were imported.
The tax actually paid by our people during
the year 1893 under the Mckinley schedule
was $4,000, 900 to the refiners, IS, 900 to
sugar growers, and 500, 900 to the govern
ment ION refined sugars, odds and ends,
glucose, candies, etc., in all $S3, zoe, 600, OF
which the refiners received more than II
per per cent zen so Ins sngar Ipe isnt .hs g per cent cent
On the same basis. under the Havemyer-
German schedule now pending in the Sen
ate, the people would pay in taxes, assum-
ing the American product of raw sugar to
be 100000 tons: () at an average of IL
cents per pound for refined sugar. S60.0O0,0 200
on the refined sugar tEey consume; C) at
an average of L cent per pound on the
remaining 100, 600 tons, used without ref1n-
ing, 81, 240, 600. OF this the government would
receive at most l cent a pound on the total
amount imported, or $36, 000, 900, the sugar
growers Sc, $780, 900, and the refiners $20,0 00, 900
the figures above giving the planters and
the government somewhat more and the re-
finers somewhat less than they will actually
receive. ,
AS Mr.. Warner is a free-trader. he can
not be suspected of trying to favor the
Mckinley law, yet he asserts that under
the German bill the people would pay
s62, 24O,OOO, as against $3S, 10000 actually paid
under the Mckinley law. Mr.. Warner says.
further, that the pending bill gives a pro-
lection of 10 per cent. or, as nearly as may
be, to so per cent, which is the highest
figure. the Sugar Trust ever dared suggest
even in private"
