WAR on NEBRAsKA's SUGAR FAC
TORIES.

The Sugar trust is making war upon
the beet sugar industry Of Nebraska.
Nebraska papers say the home market
has been overstocked with sugar forced
upon it by the trust, and that in order
to embarrass the states sugar factories
the trust has forestalled the home sup
ply of sugar by shipping in large guam
titles of the product of its refineries to
dealers who are dependent upon it for
the bulk of their supply of sugar.
The Omaha Bee, commenting on this
state of affairs, says that under the
existing sugar schedule of the Wilson
tariff law the Sugar trust enjoys
special advantage in the importation of
raw sugar from foreign countries" Had
the Bee written Mckinley" instead of
Wilson" it would have put the case
exactly. The Bee cannot be ignorant of
the fact that the present Wilson tariff
law fevies a duty of 40 per cent ad
valorem upon all sugars, and upon all
sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard;
and upon all sugars that have been dis
coiored, duty of one-eighth OF 1 per
cent per pound in addition to the 40 per
cent ad valorem duty.
The tariff law Of 1890, the Mckinley
law, only levied duty of five-tenths of
a cent per pound upon all sugars above
No. 16 Dutch standard.
One of the charges made against the
Wilson bill by the protectionists when it
was under consideration. was that it
deprived the people of free sugar by
enabling the Sugar trust to raise the
price of sugar exactly the amount of
the duty imposed. Now for the Bee TO
charge that the Wilson tariff law ia
vors the trust by making the raw sugar
cheaper to it is anything but honest.
1t was the Mckinley law that fortified
the Sugar trust and caused it TO grow
till it has become the giant it is.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant in the December
Century, relates an anecdote telling how
General Grant aided a drover in turning
his cattle General Porter adds: He knew,
of course, that the man did moi recognize
him. If he had supposed the man was
lacking in proper military respect he
would perhaps have administered to him
the same lesson which he once taught a
soldier in the Twenty-frst Illinois. when
he commanded that regiment. An officer
who had served under him at the time
told me that Colonel Grant. as he came
out of his tent one morning, found a
strapping big fellow posted as sentinel
who nodded his head good naturedly
smiled blandly and said: "Howdy colo
nel?'' His commaner cried, Hand me
your piece" and upon taking it, faced
the soldier and came to present arms, "
then handing back the musket, he re-
marked: THAT is the way to say How
do you do to your colonel"

CUBA IN THE PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE.

The two most prominent subjects of
speculation before the American peo-
pie today are the composition of Pres.
ident AIcKinley's cabinet and the con-
text OF President Cleveland's message
to congress. Volunteers are doing
the work for each, though each will
do it for himself in his own way and
in his own time.
General Bradley T. johnson, who
has been in Cuba as war correspond
ent. is quoted as stating that he be-
lives the meeting of congress on the
first Monday in December will be made
notable by a message from the presi-
dent recommending the recognition
of Cuban belligerents, and that the
following Wednesday will see declar-
alton OF war by Spain against the
United States
That may all be, but if General John
son had given the reasons for the
faith that is in him it would have
been more satisfactory to the public,
that is providing the public really
cares for his beliefs one way or the
other
As we have said, all that General
Johnson believes regarding this matter
may be true, but there is nothing in
President Cleveland's whole course re-
garding the Cuban rebellion to war
rant any such belief as the general en-
tertains: Consul General Lee has made
no report, so far as the public is
aware, that should cause the admins
tration to change its attitude towards
Spain.
All the probabilities are that the
president will maintain his Cuban pol
icy to the end of his administration.
Why shouldn't he? Recent occurrences
in Cuba are very like the occurrences
Of the past year. True, Spain has put
forth her strength for a year without
making any perceptibIe progress to-
wards crushing out the rebellion.
1t is not at all probable that Mr..
Cleveland will inaugulate any foreign
policy within three months of the close
of his administration that he cannot
direct. If it should be brilliant and
successful, another would reap the
honor and glory of it. Should it prove
disastrous and failure, the odium
would be upon him. We do not know
what the president will say about
Cuba in his forthcoming message;
neither do we believe that General
Bradley T. Johnson does, notwith-
standing the fact that he has been
Cuban war correspondent.

How. 1t Feels to Be Falsely Impris-

Georgia Canzoneri, a Sicilian who has
just been released after 10 years in prison,
10 which he was confined for life, was the
victim of false witnesses. one of whom
swore to having seen him murder his Ghe
witness Wife,. His innocence has now
been brought to light. His account OF
what he felt when condemned and in the
gelleys is interesting. He says:

rhe CiviIizing Power of Irrigation.

The evolutionary process of the last
90 years has brought out some very
valuable lessons for the future of Cali
fornia. 1t has demonstrated that irri
cation is essential to the highest stand
ard of civilization. The census of 1890
revealed the fact that two-thirds of
the gain in rural population stood to
the credit of eight counties where ir
rigation prevailed. The counties which
rely upon rainfall had about reached a
standstilI or scored a loss. The people
have always been divided on the ques-
ton as TO whether irrigation is neces-
sary. Those who oppose urge that it
breeds malaria and Injuries the quality
of the fruit. Those who favor insist
that it is essential to the most scien-
tific agriculture, and to the mainten-
ance of dense population. The last 20
years have answered the question for
ever. The answer consists of a COM
parison between the south and the
north. The one was born of the irri-
cation canal; the other of the mining
camp and the wheat ranch. The one
is characterized by high civilization;
the other by a low one.-"Our Great
Pacific Commonwealth" by William E.
Smythe, in the December Century.

dictate the schedules and to look upon
their arrangement by ways and
means committee as an usurpation. If
there is to be a general tariff revision
under the next administration it may
as we'll be understood now as later that
the Sugar trust will dictate the sched-
ule dealing with sugar.
1t is very much TO be desired that this
proposed sugar factory for Weber
county materialize. 1t would be a
great thing for the state. Perhaps the
antitrust law win be enforced by the
next administration, at least to the
extent of prohibiting open and fierce
onslaughts by the trusts upon new and
struggling. enterprises. With that law
enforced the beet sugar industry would
flourish in Utah.

SECRETARY FRANCIS ON AlONOF-
OLE.

Slowly but surely the people are
campaign carried on by the Democrat
ic party was in behalf of their rights
and liberties. The financial question
was the great issue, but that which
made it the issue was the great infiu-
ence the money power has come to
WELD in this country. 1t was able to
bring about the demonetiza ton of sill
yer and ever since has been able to
prevent its restoration to its proper
place in our monetary system. The
advocates of silver have recognized all
this from the first; perhaps those who
opposed silver in the late campaign
will eventually recognize it.
Secretary of the Interior Francis.
discussing the financial question, which
he holds was settled once and for all
by the late election, says:
While 1 agree with the advocates of
sound money in the fight recently
made, there are many principles advo-
Gated by some Of those who have been
advocates of that cause to which [
cannot subscribe. If some legislation is
not enacted to check the growing infiu-
ence of wealth and circumscribe the
powers of the trusts and monopolies,
there will be an uprising of the people
before the century closes that will en-
danger our very Institutions"
This is a distinct recognition of the
evils set forth by the Chicago platform.
1t is strange that Secretary Francis
and those who think as he does on the
financial question do not see in the de-
monetization of silver the very strong
est evidence Of the power of the trusts
and monopolies. power which makes
an uprising of the people against them
not impossible.

SLEEP SONG.

Dear little blue eyes. go to sleep.
The twilight shadows are knee-deep;
The sun gone down behind the town,
And from the hilltop's silver crown
A faint, far day-star seems to peep.
The green lawn wrinkles bright with dew
The treetops whisper low to you;
sleep, little one; the long day done;
Sleep till the rising of the sum-
Sleep, love. and close your eyes Of blue.

THE LATEST QUIPS
OF THE COMEDIANS.

The publication of this column of
theatre Jokes, writes Marshall P Wilder
in the Journal, is evidently playing havoc
with comedians, as the following would
seem 10 Indicate:
Dear Mr.. Wilder-On several occasions
you have been good enough to quote some
OF my jokes. The result is that other
comedians read them and utilize them TO
their own advantage. Where formerly
a new story would last me an entire
circuit, l find now that l have to invent
new ones more frequently or risk spring
ing a chestnut" that is really my own
property. There are unfortunately many
actors who prefer to steal their gags
than to invent new ones, and 1 am one
of the victims of the theft
The situation is indeed unfortunate for
the comedian, but anything that tends to
improve the joke crop is worthy of en-
couragement. There is a familiar flavor
to some Of the stories told last week, but
as they were well received by the au-
dience there can be little harm in re-
peating them.
