More Sugar Scandal.

The following dispatch was sent cut
from Washington:
Washington.-(Spe ugly scan
dals are being circulated in relation to
the passage of the sugar bounty in the
early hours of Sunday. A Washington
paper tonight says:
1T is stated upon the best authority
that between the hours of p. m. and
midnight Saturday there was spent by
the sugar planters of Louisiana $3.50 900
in one of the committee rooms to infiu-
ence legislation. A great many repre-
sentatives were in the committee
room"
The most shameless lobbying of the
entire session was done just before the
vote was taken. Members were ap-
preached and told openly that there
was money in that bill This was said
to at least one member of the Missouri
delegation. The whole crew of LEG
islative attorneys which infest the cor
ridor was at work for the bounty. The
bounty was carried by nine votes. and
the record shows many surprising
changes. Democratic members who
have talked and voted heretofore
against the bounty are shown to have
voted for it on the final passage.
Mr.. Wilson, the new postmaster gen
eral, surprised his most intimate
friends by suddenly changing front and
speaking for the bounty. He told some
of his intimates to-day that it was one
of the hardest things he had to do. The
inference drawn from his remarks is
that the administration wanted the
bounty given. The sugar men have all
along claimed that Mr. Cleveland adj
mitted their equity" Whatever was
the inspiration under which Wilson re-
versed himself and urged the passage
of the bounty, the action was inter
preted as the wish of the President.
That. together with the lobby influence
and the republican vote given with
honest intention, carried the measure
through
This constitutes another link in the
/ chain of evidence that ought to for
ever condemn the party that wanted "a

NEW YORK AGITATED.


Department Store AggressiOns Alarming
the General Trade Associations.
New York paper: The Retail Butch
ers' association is the first to take de-
cisive action against the encroachments
on general trade of the department
stores. The association has ordered a
general boycott on the big dry goods
stores by families of the members of
the association. Wives and daughters
have been told to purchase nothing
from these stores, no matter what bar
gains are offered. The wholesale deal
ers in meat have also been notified
that if they continue to furnish sup
plies to these dry goods establish
ments the trade of the members OF
he Butchers association will be dis
continued. A member of the associa-
ton said tonight nearly all. of the
wholesale dealers have granted the
butchers demand, and that some of
the dry goods dealers are now COM
PEELED to get their meat supply from out
of the city. A wholesale dealer in a
certain brand of hams, he said, had
been detected furnishing one OF the
pirate dry goods houses and that a
boycott of that brand was ordered.
The ham has had sale in nearly every
state in the Union, but when the dealer
intimated that he could live without

THE BOND CONSPIRACY.
Cleveland Scored by Financiers-Stetson
and Syndicate.

Cleveland Scored by Financie-s-Stetson
and Syndicate.
New York papers, as every one
expected, say Mr.. Morgan refused
to disclose who the successful sub.
scribers to the new bond issue were or
what the amount of their allotments
was. The arrangements for the big
"bunco" game were made secretly, and
Mr.. Morgan is not the man to divulge
seer cts. The only information Mr..
Morgan would give out yesterday was
the fact that the subscriptions for the
new bonds amounted in all to $3.50, OO0,-
00Q-$200, 100000 here and $500, zoo, 900
i'll London. That is certainly an enor-
nous subscription for little over $62,-
100000 of bonds, and Wall street COM
mented on it freely, taking the ground
tnat 1t showed emp1atically that the
credit of the government was sill unim-
paired. AS soon as the announcement
was made by MIR. Morgan that the sub
scriptions in this country amounted to
$20O, ,00C the price OF the new bonds
reached 1907.
The storm Of indignation which is
sweeping over the country on account
OF the miserable Cleveland Carlisle
Morgan Belmont-Stetson conspiracy to
defraud the government out OF millions
is growing louder as day follows day,
Persons who seldom think about finan-
cial affairs are eagerly discussing, and
as they now see clearly the wicked
character of the bargain, warmly de-
nouncing the inexplicable conduct OF
Cleveland and Carlisle.
is it such small thing. Mr.. Cleye-
land" the people say, that you prac-
tically place over $9,000,000 in the hands
of this syndicate without Offering to us
to whom this great sum belongs, some
reason for doing this?"
Mr.. Cleveland would probably not be
much pleased if he could hear the re-
marks that are made about him
''Stetson," said one man; surely
Francis Lynde Stetson, Mr. Cleveland's
personal friend and law partner, is in
this soft thing, isn't he?"
1t seems IS if people will never get
tired of asking why Stetson was such
a close party to the peculiar transac-
ton. They still ar' the same cues
tons about him. ;ld can not under
stand how Mr.. Cleveland could have
consented to his intimate friend being
mixed UP in the disgraccful affair
They say he must have known that
there would be great cutlery when the
country fully understood the nature OF
the transaction, and he should have
avoided anything which might make
people think there was sometime
cooked" in the deal. When there were
men employed by the government to dc
the work, they say, he had no excuse
for allowing Mr.. Stetson, who is moi
only his law partner, but is also the lie.

KEEP OUT OF POLITICS.
Don't Read-You Might Learn Some
thing and Get Mad.

SOme-
thing and Get Mad
So you think politics has nothing to
do with your wages or chance of getting
employment, or your debts or poverty,
Ell?
The banker tells you so.
The politician tells you so.
The monopolist tells you so.
The people who live we'll and do
nothing tell you so.
Isn't it funny that all of these people
are all of one mind?
All these people live off of some
body.
Do you know who that somebody is?
All these people are very anxious
about the elections
DO you ever ask yourself why?
If politics has nothing to do with you
why are they so interested?
Do you think they are fools to spend
their time and money on something
there is nothing in for them?
And if there is something in it for
them, who pays that something?
Why can't you see little bit under
the surface?
Have they trained you like soldier
so you can't think but obey orders?
Why are they so anxious that you
don't vote with the cranks?
Why all this solicitude?
Politics has everything to do with
your wages and employment
1t can render millions of you idle SO
you will have to work cheap, or it can
have all of you busy getting big wages.
They don't want you to find this out.
They want you for voting machine
to help them live in luxury and power.
And you've been doing it,
Don't read up on the money problem
you might learn something and not
be so docile as slave.-Coming Nation.

taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates. are claimed by the manu-
facturers to he positive and speedy cure for anv
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium. cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deadeu pain. The habit of taking them IS
easily formed. but almost impossible to shake
off Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve raging headache and soon resort TO the
powder TO alleviate any little pain or ache the
may be subjected 10, and finally like the NOR
phine opium fend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
