CANE GROWERS WHY.
The SEpreme Court Reverses Judge
Hazen a.d Awards the Bounty Ap-
preparation TO the Cane Growers.

On Saturday the Supreme court hand
ed down a decision which Teverses
Judge HaZen and gives the sugar boun.
~ appropriation To The cane growers
by the legislature last year, to our farm
ers to whom the sugar company is
greatly indebted. The decision of the
court is that 1.-The Medicine Lodge Sug
ar Company had no right to the money
specifically appropriated to cane grow
ers who furnished the cane to the COM
pany." We congratulate our farmer
friends upon this victory but are sorry
that the bounty isn't sufficient to pay
the entire amount due to which they
are so justly entitled and for which
they labored so industriously. We al
so deplore the fact that the avarice of
the Iowa bank and rottenness of Judge
HaZen compelled them to wait so long
and expend SO much money to get what
The legislature said was theirs. But
such is life in the plutocratic circle. 1t
is no little satisfaction, however, to
note that at last we havea supreme
court that occasionally gives the mon
led hyenas a cold shoulder by recOgnZ-
ing In the farmers aud laborers the
same rights under the constitution, as
are enjoy ed by the bankers and monied
class.
The syllabus follows:
The Medicine Lodge Sugar com
