THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The failure Of one Of Louisianas largest
sugar planters because OF the loss Of the
sugar bounty brings up the question Of the
government responsibility. From a Demo-
cratic standpoint. and possibly from a legal
view of the question, the sudden abrogation
Of the sugar bounty was right, but from a
strictly honorable point of view the sugar
planters have just cause for complaint.
Prompted by the advantages offered
through the Mckinley bounty they made
heavy investments 10 carry on the business Of
growing and refining sugar. This enterprise
could not he prontably conducted without the
aid OF the bounty and would never have been
undertaken but for the implied promise that
St would be continued until improvements
and conditions warranted its abrogation.
The enactment Of the new tariff law de-
stroyed their hopes. Without warning and
without time to prepare for the change the
bounty clause was repealed. Their sugar
cane, which was planted and grown under
the bounty law. could not he gathered and
used without loss and ruin and bankruptcy
was the inevitable result.
Common justice demanded that the bo unity
beextinguished by degrees. and that the plant
ers be given time to prepare for the change
They had a right TO expect better treatment
from a Congress they helped to create. but in
stead they were refused the justice that busi-
ness men would have considered themselves
in honor bound TO give.

a TOAST TO ERIN

dedicated to the memory of Robert Emmett
The land OF the linnet, the lark, and the
thrush;
Where always is heard the mournc of the turtle
That COOS to his mate from the hawthorn
bush.
Here's TO the land of the glorious Emmett
Who fell in the front OF fair Freedoms sweet
cause:
The land of Wolf Tone, and love without limit
That tramples forever DER tyranny 8 laws
Here's to the land of great Goldsmith and Graft
tan,
To Sheridan, Phillips o'Connen and Moore,
Whose brains shone as bright as sheen on the
satin, -
Was filled with the riches of legendry lore
Here's TO the land of the roebuck and heather.
The wild "Connaught hangers" that never
knew fear
Who battle for freedom in fair or foul weather,
And die for their country through year after
year
Here 10 the bright Limerick lasses forever:
The dear Dublin bellies and the ladies of Cork:
Their hearts are SO true that distance can't
sever
The songs they have sung with the notes of a
lark.
Here's to the land OF sweet songs and sad story;
To exiles that roam Der this cold, barren earth:
To men who have bled en- battle-felds CORY,
Successful for all but the land of their birth
peres to old Erin, the gem of the ocean.
Tie land of the peot, the soldier, and sage;
Where elo1 o1uence iurns with fire and emotion
Where liberty struggles from age unto agel

GIVE THE COUNTRY An ARBITRATION


The fatalities of tine Brooklyn trolley
strike, the loss and Inconvenience to
the public. and the utte- heartiessness
OF the trolley managers plainly indi-
cate that Congress should provide against
further strikes 10y enacting an arbitration
law. The attempt of the Atlantic avenue
trolley managers TO arm non-union employees
shows that the strike is far from u settlement,
and that nothing hut the use of soldiers will
prevent scenes OF violence.
Such public disturbances can oniy be
avoided by arbitration. At the outset. before
the bitterness of personal strife makes
peaceable settlement impossible, ordinary
differences could be adjusted by honorable
compromise. A national arbitration law
would have prevented the trolley strike
Both sides to the controversy were undoubt-
edly at fault. and the mediation Of cool,
Ieyel-headed, disinterested men would have
brought about an agreement.
Next to legislation to prevent the plunder-
ing of our Treasury by gold spectators the
enactment of an arbitration law Is most nee
essary. No other measure would do so much
to preserve peace and good order, and that
means progress and prosperity for all con-
eerned. Strikes and labor disturbances are
detrimental to both employer and employed,
and unless they are avoided all must suffer.
Let Congress act quickly on the 0iEey ar
bitration bill, for the country is greatly in
need Of such measure.

DON'T TURN WILLING WORKERS AWAY.

DON'T TURN WILLING WORKERS AWAY.
The appeals of the unemployed for work
are nearly heatrending. Their applications
for employment printed in another column
should awaken an interest and bring prompt
relief They do not ask for aims. They want
nothing they do not earn, and their pub
Iished requests are much more worthy O.
consideration than the plants of beggars or
the tears OF professional charity-seekers.
If the generous public wou d encourage
efforts TO seek employment and discourage
alnsiaking among a5le-bodied poor the e.
feet would be beneficial. Poverty is mis-
fortune that cannot be avoided. but it could
lie greatly lessened if work were supplied in
times Of need But few people meet advers-
ity without feeling of recklessness, and it
is this feeling that causes many to sink into the
depths Of poverty.
Give the poor work now when it is needed.
Provide them with means to earn livelihood.
Search the want columns Of TIE TIIEs and
secure such help as is needed. and, if neces-
sary make places rather than turn willing
workers away.

Dr. Kent 5 opinion OF Limiting the Power
of Greenhaeks.
DR.. Alexander Kent, of the Peoples Church,
preached yesterday morning on 1.-The duty of
Americans, employing the term "Ameri-
cans, he said, in its popular English sense
TO apply to the people of the United States
those who have chosen this part of America
for their home
The great duty of the American people, a
duty in which recent years they have griev-
ously neglected is to see that government in
this country is held TO those high ends for
which il was established.
Tine moneyed men of the country have
been able for wears 10 dictate the 1nansiaf
policy Of the nation. They have persistently
and impiousy plundered the people While
processing to serve them.
1T was shrewd. sharp 1nanciering, delib-
crate. opsn-eyed robbery, that limited the
! legal-tender clause of the greenbacks and
made them noR-receivabie for customs duties
! These men wanted to make better market
( for their gold. and they did it, and every step
I they have induced Congress to take in the
I way of financial legislation. from that day to
4 this, has been in the line OF that infamous
! purpose.
1T is the duty of the people to see that this
/ policy Is defeated. There is no reason in the
world why the people OF this country should
not use their own machinery for banking
! purposes

THE Washington public can never have
cheaper gas so long as the Washington Gas
light Company controls the Congressional
District committees. And its power can never
be broken until cheap gas associations are
formed and a united effort is made TO indGce
Congress to take action. Every section of
Washington should organize a cheap gas as
sociation. No other method will bring sGf-
iieient influence to bear on Congress, and if
the public is to have cheaper gas at all it IS
umc to begin the work.
