The sugar BOunty

We have several times mentioned the
fact that the sugar-planters OF Louisiana
and other States claim that the govern
ment is bound In honor to pay them the
full bounty up 10 August. 1894, when the
new tariff bill went into effect Although
we regard the bounty system as totally
indefensible per Sc, yet we cannot but ad-
nit that the circumstances of the peculiar
case under consideration offer a
plea in behalf OF the sugar-pro-
ducers which we cannot but regard as
meritorlous. and therefore we feel as IL
the Senate did not exceed Its power when
1t voted on Tuesday TO pay so much
bounty as its committee had reported
in favor Of paying. If we had not been
decidedly in favor of recognizing the claim
Of the sugar producers before--as in
deed we had not beehive should have
been induced to take sides with them as
soon as Mr.. Hoar offered his miserably
mean amendment making an exception
against the sugar-producers of Louisiana
on the ground that their senators by
voting for the tariff act OF
1894 rejected and repudiated the
sugar bounty. We predict that no
body will ever find Mr.. Hoar or his State
rejecting a government bounty offered to
them.
However, the proposition to pay the
bounty mentioned was carried--ayes. &c;
noes, 20. We notice that the two Virginia
senators recorded their votes In the
affirmative: yet we do not doubt for a
moment that they would to-day vote
against granting bountles to the planters
who may continue to produce sugar here
after. We take 1t that Messrs. Hunton
and Daniel felt as IL they were under
obligation--bound by a contract-to pay
so much OF the bounty. and only so much
as they considered the government had
obligated itself TO pay. In a word. our
senator's voted to sustain the credit of
the National Government. whilst Mr..
Hoar voted to discredit the government.
A large majority OF the Republican
senator's voted to pay the full bounty up
to August. 1884 and a large majority OF
the Democratic senator's voted against
paying IL. we NOtlce Ildt MT. Iorudii,
OF Maryland, voted with the majority of
his party on this question. We were
rather surprised at this vote. Mr.. Jones.
OF Arkansas. and Mr.. Mills. OF Texas,
voted with Mr.. German.
The vote on the motion to appropriate
IS. 100000 for bounties for the year ending
June 30. 1896. was very much the same
as the vote on the previous motion. The
strict constructionist DemocratS-the odd
liners"-could not surrender to "protec-
ton appearing In the guise of bounty
and so cast their votes against this mo-
ton also. 1t must be remembered, to.>
that the petitioners for DoG.:y expressly
stated that they and similar establish
ments In other cities are creditors Of the
ugar-proiucers in a large amount. they
having been induced TO advance money
10 them. trusting for It's return to the
policy and laws OF the United States (as
these existed at the time the advances
were made). These petitioners consisted
OF banks. merchants, manufacturers, ETC.,
etc, etc.
II is not certain that either Of these
amendments win be passed by the House
OF Representatives.

Appomattox Endorsed.

Two announcements come together of
Confederate camps endorsing the move
ment in favor OF converting Appomattox
battlefield into national park-Pickett-
buchanan Camp. of Norfolk, and the
Lane-Diggs Camp. Of Gloucester.
These veterans are perfectly willing to
leave the details OF the proposed legisla-
ton to Congressman Tucker. the Grand
Gimp OF Confederate Veterans. etc.
Mr.. Tucker has introduced a resolution
on the subject. by request, but we take
It that this is TO be regarded simply as
a tentative measure. Legislation on this
subject cannot be expected at this ses-
sion Of Congress.
Mr.. Tucker has been In communication
all along with the Appomattox-county
committee. and 1t Was at his suggestion
that action was taken by Lee and Pickett
camps. OF this city, and the Grand Camp
OF Virginia We feel sure, therefore.
that he will consult the representatives
Of these organizations before he presses
any proposition to a vote in Congress.
We feel sure, also. that no bill or pro-
position will be favored by Mr.. Tucker,
OF by the Grand Camp. or any subordi-
nate camp which does not fully protect
those interests which We Virginians hold
pear.
Meanwh lille. II win be well for us to
examine the legislation on the subject
OF parking the Chickamauga and Shiloh
bastle-nslds. Let US see wherein 1t will
suit or not suit our case. and wherein
We can improve upon II.
1t 10 to be regretted that we could
not have tho present Congress legislate
on Appomsttox: but that we cannot Is
no fault OF Mr.. fuckers; nor. indeed.
y Il anybody's fault, It IL simply our
misfortune that our plan Is not far
enough advanced TO hope TO get action
upon II by Congress a. this session.
We repeat what we said sunday-that
our veterans may b sure Mr.. Tucker
and our Grand Camp. etc. will insist
upon proper legislation or none. so.

Election of Judge. by the People.

We omitted to say the other day when
we published the letter OF W. o. Hard

OF constitutional convention. that the

our Judges. We don't want to Africanize

Fire at Great Diamond.

Just before the Fourth of July the boys
on Great Diamond island gathered to-
gether great heap of brush for bonfire
and secured some trunks of trees which
they stood upright at the corner of the
heap. AS the wind blew towards the
cottages on the 4th the bonfire was not
lighted Sunday the wind was in the op-
posite direction from the cottages and in
the evening the pile was lighted. This
gave rise to the belief on the steamer
people that DR.. Files cottage was burned,
as it stood directly in line with the bon
fire, and when the trees fell the impress
sion was created that the roof and walls
fell in. The group of cottagers about the
fire were Camp Outing boys who saw the
flames and went over to help if their SER
vices were needed. Hence the report in
yesterdays tPRESS. DR. Files owns
both the cottages mentioned in the recent
issue and not Capt Snowman.
