THE SUGAR WAR

When one nation excludes the products
OF another nation from its ports and mar
kets it performs a hostile act. A COM
mercial war may be as disastrous to a
country in everything except the loss of
life and the destruction OF property as a
war of armies and navies. If a nations
commerce disappears, the result is the
same, whether the loss was caused bv
closing custom houses against it or by
sweeping it from the seas with armed
fleets.
The exclusion of American meats from
Germany and France by mere orders in
council of the two governments has the
same effect OH the cost Of meat supplies to
the Germans and French as if war en-
barge had been laid on American com
merce. 1t increases the price of meat for
the profit OF the producers, and for the
loss and oppression of the consumers
An era OF extremely low prices for farm
products has prevailed in Germany and
France, the same as in America. Shut
ting out American competition in the
markets for meat was method adopted
to relieve the distress of German and
French farmers.

levied by Congress on bounty sugar
Small the duty is-but one.t tenth of 1

active, and who have the smallest posi-

reduces the benefit which the sugar grow

This is what eXasperates the Govern

deavor to make the beet-sugar industry
profitable by paying the subsidy on all
which is exported. By the discriminating

The Chicago Herald, in an editorial re-

fact that Germany, France and Austria,
with their systems of sugar bounties, are
having no better time among themselves
than they are having with the United
States. The beet farmers who receive the
highest bounty can afford to sell their
sugar at the lowest price if the cost of

Tenth Annual Banquet Held by the New

York Brotherhood
New York, March 5.-The Irish Revolu.
tionary Brotherhood gave the tenth an.
nual banquet At the Central Opera House
tonight with more than 300 present.
Augustine Costello, president OF the
Brotherhood, presided. The principal
speaker of the evening was Recorder John
W. Golf. He declared that the recent att
tendance at the Robert Emmett meeting
proved conclusively that the time had
come for Ireland to use force If she wished
to be free. Nothing would ever be accom-.
plished through that acme of foolishness
the home rule bill. s
When Ireland listened to the seductive
but false promise of home rule, she
has weakened her cause. The Irish people
must learn, that they stand for one gener.
GUS purpose-the freedom of their country.
And when they allow themselves to -
side-tracked on any minor issue by thur
Withdrawing plank from their platform

THE PRESS On SUTRO

Mayor Sutro is reported by the Exam:
liner to be already disguised with official
life and wishes he were 1000 miles away
|. from politicians He cannot under
stand why the Board of Supervisors acts
as it does" and the Board reciprocates by
SAYING that Sutro is IAN old fakir and
only howls when his personal interests are
attacked Yet San Francisco is to have
eighteen months more of this circus be-
tween the monkey and the parrot. -lnyo
Independent.
Is it possible that Mayor Sutro is so
busy fastening that octopus of his own
upon the people of San Francisco that he
has no time to subscribe to the Compel
ing road? AS the owner of large per-
centage of San Francisco's real estate, and
a most blatant enemy of the octopus,
-Sutro's subscription is expected to reach
seven figures at least. Like Governor Budd
there is-evidence that his rancor againt
the Southern Pacific did not survive his
election Enterprise.
1t seems rather strange that Mayor
Sutro, the largest land owner in San
Francisco, refused to subscribe for the
San Francisco and San joaquin valley
Railroad. He gives for reason that he has
no ready money. However, it would seem
that he could borrow few thousand dol
lars, would it be only to assist in dealing
the octopus blow that would hurt
Blue Lake Advocate.
The Marysvile Squeal deprecates the
criticisms on Mayor Sutro's public acts,
but wisely adds 'Sutro will come out
on top" OF course he will. That is what
he has always done in the past aud what
he is trying to do now. When the Squeal
finds him on top, it will also find badly
gulled public ON the bottom.-San Fran
cisco Post.
"What has Adolph Sutro done?' asks a
correspondent. He spent not less than
$40, 900 to defeat the funding bill, and he
caused the fare to the Cliff House to be
reduced to five cents. Are these two facts
so soon forgotten? We preferred Mayor
Ebert to Sutro, but until the latter merits
opposition he shall have our support
San Francisco Star.
San Francisco is becoming disguised
with her Mayor. Sutro is like all the
latter-day reform leaders-a great, large,
over-rated wind bag.-Alturas Weekly

ANkcosTIA CITIZENS MEETING.

Policeman Green.

IL Was Asked TO Indorse the Action of
Policeman Green.
But for the prompt action of Justice of
the Peace Carroll W Smith and President
Il a. Lnger, ST. who was in the chair,
the AnaCostia Citizens Association, at
its meeting in Haines' Hall, last night,
would, in all probability, have passed a
resolution indorsing Policeman Green for
his action in killing Reuben Foster Such
motion was made by Mr.. a. j. Williams,
who expressed the opinion that the killing
was a genuine benefit to the community
President Linger said that it was not
the province of the association to endorse
any one, especially case like that OF Officer
Green
Justice Smith said he deeply sympathized
with the policeman in the difficulty in
which he has placed himself, but that he
did not propose 10 sJullify himself by voting
TO approve an Illegal act.
Postmaster Julius W Tolson said that
some people might think that Policeman
Green had done very charitable act in
killing Foster, ard he had 10 opinion to
express OH that point stiIl he thought that
Green has gotten himself into a very serious
difficulty which IS likely to last him for the
| balance Of his life The proposition OF
Mr.. Williams was then dropped.
President LIngeT said he desired TO
protest against the action OF certain per
sons who persist in locating all crimes,
such as the shooting OF Foster. etc, at
Hillsdale this week, within the precincts
OF Anacostia. The people OF Anacostia
were, he said, willing to take all the
blame that may belong to them for any
thing wrong done within the limits of the
town, but they did not wan ito be credited
or blamed with what takes place elsewhere.
Mr.. King said the circulation of these
reports had done great deal of harm. On
motion of Mr. Smith a vote OF thanks was
extended to Senator Gonman and Repre-
sentative Coffin for their efforts in secur-
ing an appropriation for a public school
building in Congress Heights, as requested
by the District Commiss toner's.
Mr.. Carlton +. Smell was elected assistant
secretary. President Linger announced
