THE REsIcNA rIoN OF ANDREWS.

When. seven years ago. Brown Univer-
sity called 20 its presidency Benny"
Andrews. one OF her sons who had already
been the recipient Of honors away from
| College Hill, there was great rejoicing
among friends OF the college and general
feeling of satisfaction in the community.
That was the near beginning of the re-
markable era of college expansion that we
now see and hear SO much about That
Brown University was not sharing ~ the
promises of growth so generally diffused
was evident Indeed, our college was one
of the chief sufferers by loss OF patron
age ana prestige through the enterprise Of
other institutions.
Andrews was confidently looked TO TO
brace the college. lie was known as a
hearty, vigorous. masterful fellow. He
was a remarkably ripe scholar for man so
young. Best or all, he was wide open
with youthful enthusiasm TO anything that
seemed good. He came, and tho college
responded with jump. And TO the out
side view Brown has been forging ahead
ever since, offering parallel TO other pro-
gressive institutions in accordance with
its opportunities.
Enthusiasm filled the ranks Of the stu
dent body. The power and influence of
the president reached from the senior
class rooms Co the athletic field. Nothing
that was of tho smallest Importance
TO the development of the University
seems TO have been overlooked or TO have
been lightly regarded by its president
College Hill doomed as never before.
Nothing is more difficult Of satisfac-
tory adjustment than difference II
opinion on "a fundamental principle be-
tween employer and employed. Presi-
dent Andrews holds views on big ques-
tions opposed to those of the University
corporation and the people of Rhode
Island Moreover, he expresses his views
on occasion.
Needless to remark, this newspaper has
no sympathy with President Andrews
economic ideas and has often enough
taken him 90 task for lack of tact in
Haunting them in the face of an unsym-
pathetic community. What has now re-
suited Is exactly what this newspaper has
expected and feared for some time
Neither do we think President Andrews
asks any sympathy in the matter of his
dismissal. He is of a nature TO court the
utmost publicity and would scorn to ar
range for retirement after a fashion that
will suggest itself to many people as a
little more kindly and better for the
peace and comfort of all concerned But
we admire him for sho ,sturdiness OF his
convictions and his uncompromising
stand for liberty Of specoh AZ well as of
conscience. And we take it that there
must be perfect good feeling between the
corporation and himself engandered by
that mutual respect which comes when
both of the opposing forces TO an argu-
ment or battle, where compromise
would tax sincerity, fight it out consist
entity to the only possible finish.

SUGAR IN THE TARIFF.

| The sugar trust knowing that the new
tariff bill would certainly advance the
rate of duty on sugars as protection to
American producers has been bringing
into the country US rapidly as possible
sugar in enormous quantities, getting it
in, of course, under the comparatively
low rates of the Wilson law 1t has
secured the world for sugar and had in
stock by the time tho conference report
was presented to the public over 200, =
900 tons of raw sugar, or, In round
numbers, 1900, 600, 900 pounds. Think of
1t Enough sugar to load seventy thou.
sand cars, or to load three thousand five
hundred freight trains of twenty cars
each, or to make one continuous train
over fifty miles In length.
On every pound OF this sugar which it
had in stock it was perfectly apparent
that 1t would make whatever profit there
was between the tariff rates of the Wilson
law and the increased tariff rates named
by the DingleY law. or an aggregate
profit calculated at about twelve million
dollars.
up In view of the fact that this organiza-
tion would make upon tho sugar which it
had brought into the country twelve
million dollars by the mere advance
which the trainers Of this bill have found
IL necessary to make in tariff rates in
order TO protect tho sugar producers of
the United States and bring revenue to
the government
But, the trust and tariff denuncia-
tor will say, every body familiar with this
subject knew that the sugar trust had
all this sugar in stock, and since this fact
was we'll known this does not account
for the sudden rise In sugar trust stock
which followed the announcement of the
agreement Of the conference committee
This is true; but the explanation of the
sudden advance, which was caused by the
profit thus assured 60 the sugar trust
through the enormous stock on hand. is
found I'm the fact that Secretary Gage had
recommended to Congress the Placing of
an internal revenue tax OF ono cent per
pound on all unrelned sugar in the
United States when the new tariff law
should go into effect, tho object being To
compel the trust 60 pay 10 the govern
ment n tax of one cent por pound on all
this !. .O50, 600, 900 pounds of sugar which
it had accumulated waiting for the ad-
vance which 1t could.make by the new
tariff.
Had Secretary Cages recommendation
been accepted by the conferccs and by
Congress, IL would have compelled the
trust to pay in internal revenue taxes pro-
badly 10 million dollars upon the sugar
which IL had piled up In its warehouses.
But the conferees and Congress did
not adopt Secretary Cages recommenda-
tion. That all there IS to this matter about
which our Mugwump friends have been
trying % make scandal as forlorn
hope at the end OF a bitter campaign
against a Republican tariff and the pros
| perity of the whole country.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Thad Parrish, Who Testified in the John- ny Patton Damage Suit, Held on the
 Above Serious Charge

The case of Hiram Wideman, admin istrator of John H. Patton vs. Southern RaifWdy company, promises to bring forth sorrfething very sensational. It will bs remembered that John H. Patton, a young white man, was engaged by Dr. Ralph M. Russell to distribute circulars and other advertising matter around the small places in this district.
 In fulfilling his contract it became nee essary for young Patton to travel around on the trains On or about Oct. 10, last, he was on board Southern freight train with a package of circulars and other matters.
 In some manner he either fell or was thrown from the train and was killed. A suit was entered by Hiram Widaman, as administra tor, for damages, and a yer dict was rendered in his favor for $5, 900.
 During the trial white man named Thad Parrish. wcll-knniyn about the city, was put on the witness stand for the plaintiff. He swore that he was on board the train on the day ia question and that he saw brakeman push Johnny Patton off the train while he was in the act of climbing ladder on the side of the car His testimony was very strong, and, it is said caused the jury to award the axove damages last week.
 Yesterday another wel-known man went. before Clerk Sam M. Mirgea, where he made an affidavit and swore out d warrant against Parrish for perjury, and he was arrested. This man is H. F. Mc- Farlin. and he alleges that he believes and has reasons to believe, that the testf- mony of Thad Parrish in the trial of the case of Hiram Wideman vs Southern Railway company, is false and that were it true it would be of material worth, he is guilty Of perjury.
 Another case of violating section 611 of the city code, which pertains to perjury, was docketed against Parrish and he will be tried this morning.
