THE SUGAR TRUSTS REACH.
BIZ Gable to the United Press

LONDON. March u. 1Ss6.-The United
Press, through inquiries in the sugar
market. learns that the American Sugar
Trust is endeavoring to depress prices
because of its having to buy 100000 tons
of sugar in Europe before the end of
August. The necessity for this purchase
is partly due to the shortage of the yield
in Cuba. The Trust has already bought
Java and Egyptian sugar in advance of
the crop of 1895.
1t is believed here that Austria will
shortly introduce legislation increasing
the bounty on sugar and limiting the
crop, and this together with the action
of the committee in the German Reich
stag fixing the annual limit OF the total
taxable sugar production in Germany at
II, 100000 double quintals, will greatly re-
move the constant fluctuations in price
which have occurred recently.

Ever since the adoption of the Reed
rules in the F'ifty-first Congress. there
has been tendency on the part of the
Western press and people to approve the
business methods of the House and to
censure the dilatory methods OF the Sem
ate. Senatorial courtesy might prop
erly have served a good purpose fifty
years ago when the number of Senators
was much smaller As practiced now,
1t means obstruction to legislation. ri
places the control of the Senate praeti-
cally in the hands of the minority As
long as 1t prevails, a prejudice against
the Senate will exist in the public mind.
The people do not care to have their
vital material interests subjected to
the whims of a few Senators who are
banded together for a single object, and
who act outside of party lines In the
present Congress, where the policies Of
the Senate and House are SO widely diff
fereIat, a careful reading of the newspa-
pers Of the central Western States viii
