The Sugar Scandal Again.

Washington. Feb. 1.-Broker E.
 R. Chapman of the stock brokerage firm of Moore & Schley, New York, who bought sugar stock for the Senators during the sugar scandal of two years ago, was sentenced to- day to one month in jail and to pay a fine of s100. Our readers may recall the passage of the Wilson tariff bill by the house in Feb, 1894 which imposed il special duty on raw sugar for revenue purposes, this law would have destroyed the sug- ar trusts monopoly, and cheapened sugar 10 consumers, by admitting German renned sugar to our mar kets. It would have also reduced the profits of the sugar trust some $12,000,000;a year. It became known about this time that the senate would not pass the bill with the sugar duty attached, and there was a wild scramble for stock, nearly the entire senate became purchasers through Chapman, when the scan dal leaked out special committee was appointed by Congress to in- vestigate. Mr. Chapman's refusal to divulge the names of the sena- tors who had bought stock, was the cause that led to his conviction as above.

ANOTHER BIG TRUST.

J. Pierport Morgan, the master spirit of finance in the new world, |, and the Vanderbilts have made q new deal in monopolies, that for audacity and magnitude exceeds the widest dreams of monopolists of the past or present, it IS far ahead Of the widest dream of wealth and monopoly ever conceived by that Wizard of Trusts, Jay Gould. It is lar greater, richer and stronger than any trust now in existance, It involves the entire product of the Anthracite coal fields of the east, with all the thousands of miles ot railroad tributary and in use for the carrying of this vast natural pro duct. An imperfect idea of the immensity of this combine may be had by dancing over the following estimate of the coal output and miles of railroad. These coal min and railroad companies sold last year 46,0O0,000 tons of coal at an average of $500 per ton wholesale. 1t is proposed by the trust to raise the price to $4.00 per ton and It Is estimated on a decreased produc- tion, that q profit to the trust will accrue of s3S.000,000. There is some 23.000 miles of railroad en- gagged in the carrying and sale of coal, every mile of which Is abso Iutely in the power, of this trust,not by actual purchase, but controlled by the money of the Vanderbits and Morgan. The first step in an advance was taken by the new trust last week by advancing the price 25c per ton, and it proposed soon to advance again, until the price is brought to $4. This of course means an increase in cost to tho consumers, and as an effect of the intended decrease in production, by the trust, Many mines will be shut down, and thousands of min CTS will be thrown out of employ ment,

 "ResoIved by the Senate (thc House of Representatives concur ring) that, in the opinion of Con gress. condition of public war ex ists between the Government of Spain and the government pro claimed and for some time main tained by force of arms by the peo pie of Cuba; and that the United States of America should raintain strlct neutrality between the con tending powers. and accord to each all the rights of biligerents in the ports and territory of the United States"
 If this resolution of the Commit tee is sustained by the Senate and House it will have a benefcent eff feet on the Cuban cause.

THE HON. MIR. PULLMAN.

After silence of two months, Senator Tillman of South Carolina rose from hls seat the other day and hurled invective and insult at the President. His speech had many listiners, but it was not half as impressive as his silence had been. Calling the Presiden of the United States "besotted tyrant" may be a forceful manner of expression, but it is neither convincing nor ar gumentative. In this particular ln- stance it lacked truth, and the hon. orable gentleman from South Caro- lima had the misfortune to be ad- dressing men who know he was saying what was untrue. Tyranny in a President is impossible, and It is to be regretted that decency and candor in bis critics are impossible, too.
 We have heard for many years the wall of the weary that the poor could not get a representative in the Senate of the United States. Mir. TiIlman boasts that ho represents the masses; that he is their chosen apostle and that his words arc a translation of their thoughts. We doubt it. The masses are upright, honest, truthful; MT. TiIlman is not. They seek the truth and utter it; MT. Tillman does not. Mir. Tillman is a rowdy and a hoodlum, and would be hoodlum and rowGy whether he hailed from South Car olira or Maine. He is more; he is 3 despicable little scoundrel.-S. F. Post.

Why Statehood is Worth Fight

An interesting and able address was delivered by Hon. M. II. Me Cord before the Arizona Agicultur- al Ass ociation at Pkenix last week It was confined entirely to the sub lect of statehood which it is agreed is thing of which the territory stands in the greatest need to insure early and permanent prosperity. It Is customary for speakers and writers upon statehood to handle the subject in general way, leav- irg it 10 be inferred that benefits great but indefinite will necessary follow admission. Mr. McCord, however was specific and convin- cing
 A national or least public sys- tenn of irrigation is necessary for the reclamation of the wide waste of lands in'this territory, Great as the benefit which would accrue from irrigation, the task is so gi- gantic that we cannot hope that it may be generally accomplished by private capital. We have realized this for long time but have hoped that national assistance in some form might he oiIered.-Ex.
