THE SUGAR TRUST DECISION.

The decision Of the Supreme Court in the
sugar trUst case practically renders the Sher
man trust law imperative and turns the coun-
try over TO combines as long as their products
are protected by an import tariff. Justice
Fuller. in rendering the opinion, said the evil
dence did not show that the sugar trust con-
troIled either interstate or international
commerce in the sale of its products, and
therefore did not come within the scope OF
the law.
There can be no question as to the correct
ness Of this opinion. The trust does not
control the manufacture Of sugar in foreign
countries, and it could be importe to sell in
competition with the sugar trust were it not
for the import tariff. Therefore, the tariff is
the conspirator, and not the sugar trust,
which prevents the public from procuring
sugar at lower prices.
Tt is impossible TO prevent combinations OF
producers by any act Of law. Nor would
they be Objectionable If the prices OF their
products could be regulated by foreign COM
petition. In future, when revising our tariff
law, the relation of trusts to the tariff should
be carefully considered. If, like the sugar
trust they control prices in this country,
open the markets to foreign competition and
their existence would do no harm.

DO We WANT cEEaPER CAST

If the people Of Washington want cheaper
gas a vigorous effort must be made TO induce
Congress to act on the bills now in the bands
of subcommittee. The interview with Sena-
tor Hunton, published in another column,
clearly indicates that all bills will be sup
pressed unless a report is demanded, and it
is also believed in business circles that a spe-
cial effort is being made 10 discredit the sin
cerity of the promoters OF the new gas pro-
iects.
For a number of years every attempt to in
troduce cheaper gas in this city has been de-
feated in Congress. Not because the schemes
proposed were not practicable, but for the
reason that lobbying and the use of peculiar
methods prevented consideration Of the
bills. Even now it is limited that a majority
Of the Senate subcommittee is controlled by
the Washington Gaslight Company, and that
no new gas legislation can be expected dur
ing this session Of Congress.
Such state of affairs should exist no
longer. Washington is as much entitled to
cheap gas as any city in the Union. Con-
gress should recognize this fact, and instead
of allowing competitive gas projects to be
fhrottled IN committees. all bills should be
considered on theis merits.

MOVEMENT GAINING STRENGTH
Largely Attended Meeting at Green's Hall
Last Night-Bill to Be Submitted TO Con-
gress Providing for Test of Strength at
the Polls-Speeches Made by Prominent
Advocates of Local Self Government

The suffrage meeting held last night at
Green's Hall. No. 1721 PENNSYLVANIA avenue
northwest. indicates that the movement is
gaining IN numerical strength as it was the
largest gathering yet held in the interest of
''home rule and local self-government' since
the present agitation was inaugurated.
The meeting was held under the auspices
of Suffrase Association, No. /. which includes
residents of the "West End. but there were
persons present from almost every section
and the Hon. Fred. Douglas came from the
far-away banks of the Eastern Branch
DR.. Robert Reyburn presided and upon
taking the chair made few pertinent re-
marks touching the objects of tie meeting
He paved the way for the main business of
the evening. This was the presentation of a
bill, which it is proposed TO have submitted
to Congress and the President, and which, if
adopted, will provide for a special election to
DECIDE THE SUFFRAGE ISSUE.
The bill was introduced by a committee of
six, appointed at a previous meeting, con-
sisting of Dr. Robert Reyburn, Milford
Spohn, Paul T. Bowen, Walter O,Callaghan,
". II. G. Simmons, and Janus Ii. Smith. Its
main provisions are that within sixty days
from the passage of the act the Commission
ers shall ascertain the number Of qualified
voters in the District, and that afterward lists
of the eligible male citizens over twenty-one
years Of age shall be prepared, which shall
constitute the registry OF voters and no one
not included shall be permitted to poll his
vote on the day of election.
The object of the election. which is to be
held within ninety days after passage of the
act is stated to be ''to determine whether or
not the people desire TO maintain the present
form of government or to return to a repre-
sentative FORM and all the details necessary
to its execution are fully set forth in the bill.
Being in an incomplete form, the draft of
the measure was committed to a special COM
mittee for revision after which it is to be
placed in charge of the executive committee
of twenty-five for submission to Congress and
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
1t is the understanding, also, that the COM
mittee shall use every effort to secure the
adoption of the measure.
A number of speeches enIivened the occa-
sion all evoking the most enthusiastic ap-
| plause. Those who were called upon in
! cluded Master Workman Simmons, District
Assembly Sc, knights of Labor; Hon Fred
Douglass, President Spohn, of the Fedora
tion of Labor; Rev. Lee and +. S. Siddons.
The reading of resolution recently
adopted by the Interstate Democratic Asso-
citation, strongly indorsing the movement,
was given a generous greeting, and the ac-
QUESTION of an influential ally was noted
with expressions of the liveliest satisfaction.
| The meeting adjourned to reassemble on
| the third Monday evening in February.

AGAIN THE ARBITRATION LAW.

Congress cannot act too quickly on the
arbitration bill now in the hands of the Com
mittee on Labor.
The Brooklyn trolley strike might have
been avoided had there been some tribunal to
which the differences between the trolley
managers and their employees could have
been referred. No State arbitration law
would answer the purpose, even for settling
disputes that are strictly local, because
neither employers nor employed could safely
intrust their differences to commissions
which owe their origin to political power.
Attorney General Olney's bill provides the
most practicable means of settling labor diff
ferences yet presented to Congress. 1t may
not be perfect, but it will furnish the ground
work for good law, and should be consid-
cred and acted on before any more great
strikes afflict the country.
The enactment of a national arbitration
law would be an act Of humanity. Wage dis
putes are more frequent during hard times
than when the country is prosperous, and
without some check on the cupidity Of cor
porations, working people are helpless in
their hands. The opportunity for cutting
wages would not be so eagerly sought for if
the question OF its necessity had to be first
submitted to an arbitration commission. An
arbitration law would afford wage-earners
protection and lessen the reasons for con-
ficts between employer and employed.

SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DoINGs.

Stewart Castle was opened last night for
the return OF Senator and Mrs Stewart, after
their absence of so many years from their
old home on Dupont Circle.
The dance given to the young people OF So
ciety was especially in honor of the two sons
OF their old friends Mr. and Mrs Mackay
who are at present the guests OF Senator
Brices family, Mr. john w. Mackay, jr., and
Mr. Clarence Mackay. The interior of the
house has been completely renovated since
the autumn and now presents one of the most
elt giant appearances OF any house in Wash
ington
The immense circular hallway is furni shed
with curious chairs. settees, and other pieces
OF furniture made OF teak wood and orna-
mental IRON. ordered especially for this pur-
.srgs is added the environment of tail palms,
growing plants, and the handsome colorings
of siIlen cushions and embroidered draperies,
come adequate idea of the place can be OBJ
iained

is mastie and gold. the walls are hung with
vivid blue satin draperes embroidered IN
golden arabesques, palms, dragons, and all
manner of curious and effective patterns. On
tho small stage. Immediately facing the en-
trance from the hallway, WAS the piano. while
below this on the main floor. grouped about

One OF the most noticeable changes in the
interior is in the reception room on the
right of The entrance, which. according to
the taste Of tho youngest daughter of the
house. is all in scarlet. On the walls are
hung rare plaques gathered from all Parts of
the world, in addition 10 many family por-
traits. In the dining-roon, the Bullets, and
woodwork generally. are elaborateiy carved.
A noticeable feature OF the table decorations
was the large epergnes of open work gold in

ice like it in the world is owned by the Gov
ernor General of India.
