THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

Yesterday, the third day of the tariff
hearings, was devoted to the sugar
schedule. All the sugar interests were
represented.
In any tariff revision it is certain
that sugar viii be a very important
matter 1t had been a steady and
prolific source of revenue I'D to the
time of the enactment of the tariff
law of 1880, when it was abandoned as
d source of revenue. The sugar sched-
ule of that act was framed in the in
terest, primarily, of the refners. The
sugar producers were compensated by
bounty for the loss of the tariff du-
ties. The result was the Sugar trust,
which soon became so rich and power
ful that it could and die threaten
every independent enterprise in the
country; the sugar producing interests
were encouraged, the Sugar trust was
made all powerful What the govern
ment lost in revenue. nearly $50, 900, 900
year, was almost entirely gained by
the trust.
These tariff hearings are preliminary
to the drawing up of tariff bill to be
presented to the next congress either
in extra or in regular session. Few
schedules are more important than the
one relating to sugar. The effect of
the legislation of 1890 should be very
carefully studied before anything
definite is done. The revenue that was
thrown away then should not be neg
lected now. Any tariff on sugar. raw
or refined, should be for the purpose
of raising revenue, and not for the pur-
pose of afording protection. The reve-
nue. duty will afford all the incidental
protection needed to give every en-
couragement to the industry. If the
Sugar trust is permitted 10 dictate the
sugar schedule, there will be a pro-
test go up from the whole country;
that it viii attempt to dictate it, there
is no doubt in the world. Just in pro-
portion as revenue is raised from tariff
sources will be the foreign competition
with all domestic articles similar to
those on which it is raised. The true
theory of protection is to exclude all
foreign goods and raise revenue from
internal sources.

EARLY TO BED.

IT'S the voice of the scientist, hear him

Don't get up too soon, it is bad for the

The mind it unhinges." he ruthlessly

your bed
Go early to bed and be early to rise.
And so you'll be healthy and wealthy and
wise:
But now about those agricultural hands,
Who do all the year round what the
proverb commands?

And saw him uprooting the thistle and
thorn:
His limbs are rheumatic. his energy flags,
And as for his trousers and shirt, they
were rags.

That rising so early was good for his
mind:

be:

SO clearly,
It's quite a delusion to get up too early.

KENTUCKY LYNcHINGs.

Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, Of
fers a reward of $3.50 for the arrest
and conviction of every one of the
men engaged in the lynching of the ne
gro Holt at Greensboro. 1t is very
doubtful if the offer of the reward will
accomplish its purpose, but it is d
good thing TO offer it. The number of
lynchings in Kentucky recently has
been astonishing; they have indicated
a spirit of lawlessness that is surpris-
ing even in Kentucky. Heretofore its
distinction in lawlessness has come
through feuds, but now it bids fair to
take the palm for lynchings from
Tennessee. There is no reason for
these lynchings as the whole machin-
cry of government in the state is in
perfect working order and the courts
can be depended upon to do their full
duty. There will be no real check put
upon lynchings in the south until the
mobs that engage IN them are met
with a determined resistance that will
convince them that the law is supreme
Before they are convinced of this it
will probably be necessary to fire into
them and kill a goodly number. Had
these lynchings occurred in Cuba,
what a howl of indignation would have
gone up from the jingoes! Lynchings
are among the beams in our Amer
lean eyes that we are not always aware
Of Ii the1 were removed, our vision
would probably be clearer on some
other points

Is seen full face draped in blue

broadness of execution and a charming
brilliancy, by skillful combination OF

UHENFoRcED LAWS.

Kansas has a prohibitory law, yet
the encouragement OF the state in
his annual report says that the law
has not been enforced, and explains
that his predecessors did not en-
force it
That is rather an anomalous state
of affairs but it is not so unusual as
would appear at first blush. There are
laws in most of the states that are
practically dead letters, though usually
few of them are the result of special
agitation as prohibitory laws are.
This non-enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law shows very plainly that the
people of Kansas are satisfied with
lip service to temperance, and that
they really do not want prohibition. 1t
may be they take the view that
prohibitory law upon the statute book
checks the evil of intemperance more
than any high license would, and that
If intemperance at any time increases
to an alarming extent a ready means
of stopping it exists. Whether or not
this supposition is correct, the result
Of the reinforcement of the law en-
courages a feeling of contempt for all
law; that means lawlessness.
This official sanction of lawlessness
in Kansas, and the frank acknowledge
ment of the attorney-gen that the
law is not enforced is tantamount to
an official sanction, shows that the
demand there for prohibition was
more the result Of an emotional wave
than of calm consideration. The enact
ment of the law was a spasmodic at
tempt to deal with a perplexing ques-
ton that cannot be dealt with sue
cessfully in any such way.
One of the great evils of the coun-
try is that there are far too many laws
enacted and too few enforced. The
fact that many laws are allowed to
remain as dead letters upon the stat
ute book is proof that they should
never have been placed there. And
why are they placed there in many
instances? To placate those who de-
mand that something be done in re-
gard to some question when all that is
needed is that things be allowed to
take their natural course, which they
usually do after the people who want
to obstruct that course are pacified
by having their wishes put into the
form of legislative act.
Kansas should either enforce her
prohibitory law or repeal it: either
course will command far more re-
spect from the country than her pres
ent method of dealing with the ques-
ton.

THE STRENGTH OF SPAIN.


The New York correspondent Of the
Madrid Liberal writes to the Bos-
ton Herald of the strength of Spain.
He takes a rather more optimistic view
of his country's strength than Ameri-
cans would, as Americans no doubt
take a more optimistic view of this
country's strength than foreigners do.
He asks some questions that are
worthy of consideration. He writes,
in part, as follows:
Why look for war with outsiders?
Why look for more trouble? Do the
jingoes of congress and the jingoes
week? A nation who, by calling all
the reserves, can in month put under
arms 100000 of well drilled men can
not be beaten in six days.
The Spanish squadron of Is good
sized ships, with we'll trained crews,
may do some harm 10 the defenseless
cities Of the long American littoral be-
fore it goes to the bottom.
Spain has a very large population of
emigrants in Spanish-America to de-
fend the honor of the Spanish nation.
Thousands of volunteers would be in
Cuba in less than a month. They are
simply within bugle call. These same
emigrantss who are patriotic at heart,
have already sent, in only few
months, $4,000, 600 to the mother coun-
try for the increase of the national
navy.
Spain knows the immense resources
of the United States, she appreciates
the difficulties in crossing the Atlantic
10 come to fight in America, but Span
iards have never looked at the size of
the enemy, and they have to learn yet
the word difficulty" otherwise they
would not have discovered America nor
conquered the savage races that popu-
lated it.
A war may be a pleasure to the
jingoes to dream of, but war is al
ways too expensive TO engage in.
Spain does not look for war, and the
American people will do we'll to get rid
of the false notions about Spain. Let
us have peace.
No doubt this correspondent has ex-
aggerated the number of men Spain
could put under arms in month, or
probably at all. but what he says about
Spanish ships doing harm to American
cities is more or less true. OF course
there would be some American ships
TO meet the new Armada, and Spain
would have to protect her own cities

The New York World thinks that Mr.
Bryan now has an opportunity which
he should seize and use with all the

comments on the decision in the con
tested election case as follows: All
things considered, the decision of the
supreme court of Utah affirming the
validity of the recent election in that
state is fortunate and reassuring. Had
the decree been otherwise, its effect
would haze been to deprive Utah of
her presidential electors. her legislature
and her representative in congress,
and the result would have been a
temporary political chaos both turbu-
lent and dangerous. The validity of
the election was contested solely on
grounds Of technical informality. and
il is gratifying that q contention so
aejBdicial to civil order has failed of
its Sarpose.D What is here said is
t7sie decision that held the election
invalid would have produced chaos.
The decision was a fortunate one In
many respects.

landing of American troops in Cuba.
Not much dependence could be put in
the Spanish American population, so
far as aid in Spain is concerned.
The reference TO the discovery of
America is rather amusing. Spain
just bumped onto it. and that
because of the energy and pluck of an
Italian navigator. And then it was
four hundred and four years ago that
she did that.
There will be no war with Spain,
but war with any country is nc
laughing matter, while it costs lots of
money and many lives. The great
strength of Spain in war with any
country would be her desperation.
