THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the sugar-bounty cases atfirms the validity
of the law and obliges Comptroller Bowler
to obey it. The amount due sugar-pro-
ducers is, in round numbers, $6.1Oo. GOO
and the amount of the appropriation S.
100000, but most likely Congress will not
hesitate to provide for the deficiency if it
can be shown that all the claims are valid.
There should never have been any hest
tation on the part OF the Government to
settle these bills. and, in fact, had Comp
troller Bowler not overestimated the au-
thority that his Office confers upon blm
there would have been no cause for litiga-
ton. The Wilson-Gorman bill did not in
tend to abrogare contracts made under The
law it repealed, but the Comptroller
thought otherwise, and refused to sign
vouchers for the payment of the bounty
earned before the new act took effect.
One.of the peculiarities of the law Great
ing the Office of Comptroller makes his
rulings superior to the Secretary of the
Treasury or the President. When Presi-
dent Harrison was asked to order his
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-05-27

Comptroller to approve certain claims,
which the treasury had allowed and the
Auditor had made record of, he surprised
his petitioners by telling them that he had
no authority to oblige the Comptroller to
approve or disapprove anything. Mr.. Har-
rison then said that under the law it was
the business of the Comptroller to verify
all bills payable; that no one had authority
to override his conclusions as to the cor
rectness of his objections to paying given
claims, and that the only way himself or
the Secretary of the Treasury could pro-
tect an honest claimant was to remove the
Comptroller for cause when he refused to
do what his superiors thought he should
do.
But Mr.. Bowler did not set up the plea
that the sugar bounty bills had not been
properly rendered and Wondered. He as
sumed the right to pass upon the consti-
nationality of the law, and because he
made up his mind that the law was in OPP
position to the constitution he refused to
let single one of the sugar-bounty claims
pass through his Office. 1t was because he
turned himself into court of law rather
than because he exercised the authority of
his office that he was cited before the
Supreme Court. The only thing now left
him to do to hinder payment of the bounty
is to discover clerical mistakes in the
figures of the auditors or the treasury's
bookkeeper, blu. he is not likely to at
tempt anything of that sort, and the sugar
producers may rely upon receiving the
sums due them.

FOR WORK AND WAGES.

The coming campaign is to be contest
for American industry against foreign
competition. The Republican party will
seek a return to power in order that it may
re-enact the protective system that is es-
sential to our prosperity.
In its last analysis, therefore, it will be
business rather than a political canvass
1t will be carried on for the benefit of in
dustry and trade; it will mean work and
wages, and its issues will affect the home
and the fireside, as well as the Nation.
The objects for which the canvass is to
be conducted by the Republicans renders
it in special sense workingmen's cam
paign. This fact should be emphasized at
every stage of the contest. Every branch
OF industry that has been injured and de-
pressed by the Democratic tariff ought to
organize Republican club to take part in
the canvass.
Such clubs of workingmen parading in
torchIight professions would have a
marked effect upon the popular mind, and
would do much TO remind the country
how widespread have been the disasters
caused by Clevelandism.
1t is not too much to say that every
great industry OF California from wool to
fruit has suffered from the Democratic
tariff. In this State workingman's cam
paign would be virtually clean sweep for
the Republican party. That, therefore, is
the campaign that should be organized.
Men who wish work and wages should get
into line for patriotism, protection and

Colonel John S. Mosby, the noted guerrilla
leader during the war, afterward Consul to
Hongkong under President Grant, has been
quite Ill at the Hotel Imperial, on Suffer
street. for two weeks past.
Colonel Mosby, while on visit to Washing
ton over year ago, was stricken very i'll with
the grip. He was confined to his bed for sew
eral weeks, and as will be remembered by the
dispatches was in dangerous condition. He
recovered finally and returned here, looking
pale after his long siege.
This illness seems to have not been totally
eradicated, and was probably the cause OF his
recent sickness here. He is considerably bet
ter now, however, and his friends hope that he
will soon be able to be out again and meet his
old friends, who have for some time missed
him.
Colonel Mosby's famous fordys in the valleys
of the Rappahannock, Rapidan and in other
places in the Virginias made him for long
TIME the observation-disclosures man in the
country.
When Lee surrendered at Appomatox and
word was sent TO Mosby that the war was over,
and to come in and throw down his arms, he
said he didn't care if Lee had surrendered, he
hadn't. He kept up his forays till the frolick-
some deeds of Colonel Mosby began to impress
General Grant very seriously.
Finally, however, Mosby gave up lighting of
his own accord and came into camp. He got
to be such great friend of the "silent man on
horseback" that Grant sent him as Minister to
China. This close friendship was maintained
to the time of Grants death.
DR.. Tirrell has been in attendance on Colonel
Mosby. 1t is stated that the coloneps present
ailment is appendicitis. He has been alter
nately better and worse for several days, Last
night the colonel sent out word that he was
getting along very slowly. There were many
inquiries in regard to his condition yesterday.
His son and two or three daughters have for
some years been living in Washington, d. C.
A few years ago his SON was here, and re-
NAMED with him for about year and then
went to Washington.

THE PURPOSE OF TRUSTS.

Industrial trusts and railway combines
are condemned by all good people, as they
should be, and in this connection it is we'll
to remark that one of the conspicuous fea-
lures of Cleveland's administration is his
Discrimination 10 disturb the trusts in their
raids upon the pocketbooks of the people.
1t is said by some thatit is impossible to
prevent the formation of pools, combines
and trusts, but to admit that is to admit a
weakness in our system OF government
which was not supposed to exist. The in
centive which brings individual corpora
items together in singleness of desire is
greed, and the ultimate purpose is to
cheaper production and increase prices SO
as to secure wider margin of profit. A
trust is combination of kindred interests
to. so control the process and output of
production that all agencies will be obliged
to contribute much of what should be
their share for the part they play.
But there are trusts and combines other
than those which control manufacture and
transportation, and it may be said that
they are far more injurious to the health
of the body polite than indus
trial and railway combines. We re-
fer to political combines between
party bosses for the control of public
offices, municipal improvement contracts
and the expenditure of the public's m honey.
Combines of this kind seek to secure
mortgage on the electoral freedom of the
people by secret com bines which put
price upon political preferment. Every
city has more or less of these combines.
The members of them have no other nor
do they want any other means of support.
The industrial trust assesses all who
labor for it and all who consume its prod
uct. The political trust assesses candi-
dates all the way from before the primary
up to and through the convention and on
10 the closing of the polls on election day.
Failure to pay the assessments means
failure of the trust to deliver the votes
agreed upon. But it is the taxpayers who
finally foot the bills. The Democratic
party created the political trust in 1852,
when Franklin Pierce was candidate for
President, and if other party bosses have
since employed the same kind of methods
it was taught to them by Democrats who
had deserted their own party. But, any,
way, the political trust has come to be a
power and dangerous influence in the
life OF the Nation, and to the utter destruc-
ton OF which combine every good citizen
sh ould feel it his duty to lend hand.

FOR TERRITORIAL CONQUEST.

Between denunciation of England by
the press and the Colonial Society of Ger
many and England's determination to not
only hold on to her possessions in South
Africa but to acquire more, an armed con-
flict between the two nations may result.
1t would be mistake to suppose that
either Germany or Great Britain is actu-
ated by desire to better the material in
terests of the people of Southwestern
Africa. Both are aiming at territorial
acquisitions and the extension OF their
political power. That the German Colo
NAL party is squarely backed by the Gov
eminent and all factions no one doubts.
The Reichstag did not hesitate to grant the
Government credit of 1900, 900 marks to
equip and maintain additional troops for
the German military forces now in South
Africa. The bill granting the credit men,
toned that it was for the purpose of hay
ing an ample force to suppress any upris-
ing of the natives, but it was, in fact, to be
better prepared for any emergency that
might arise in Germauy's effort to get
ahead OF England in the race for more ter
ritory.
The feeling OF the Germans is distinctly
shown in their criticism of President Kru-
ger showing SO much magnanimity toward
the men who were captured in the invasion
by the Johannesburg so-called'army of re-
form. On the other hand, the British Colo
NAL Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, is ag-
gressively vehement in his denunciation of
Kruger's Government for ITS vindictive
treatment of the invaders. 1t is hard to
see how Germany and England can help
resorting to arms otherwise than by agree
ing upon division of the South Africa
country, but that would be difficult, for the
question of who should have the lions
share would be knotty one.
1t will be observed that the people of
South Africa are not TO be consulted, but
overrun and thrashed into obedience.
President Kruger knew very we'll what
Germany meant by offering to sustain the
neutrality of the Transvaal Republic. He
knew it meant manufactured opportu-
nifty to send German troops that, when
once there in force, will never yacate.
Great Britain has quit playing diplomacy
in the affair, and proclaims what she
wants and what she will have-because il
is her due. The affair is now quite mixed
up as between England and Germany, but
it is the people and their native and nat
ural rights that are between the neither
and upper millstones of these territory
seeking nations
