ii has been assumed that because
the stock of the sugar trust nd
.anced Immediately after the &C
:ion Of the conference committee
became known. their action must
have been advantageous to the
trust. The facts are these: The
trust had imported no less than
900. 0'5o tons Of raw sugar in the
expectation and knowledge that the
new tariff law would increase the
tariff rates, and that it would thus
be able to make large profit upon
whatever sugar it could bring in
prior to its final enactment. But
the Secretary of the Treasury had
recommended that an internal rev
cnsn duty Of one cent per pound
he placed on this raw sugar in
stock. 1t was the knowledge of
the fact that the conferees did not
place any Internal rcyenuc duty
upon this sugar in stock. and that
the profits Of the sugar trust on the
10C, 900 tons Of svglr it had thus
imported would be lnanv millions
Of dollars. probably is nll'ch aS ten
or twelve millions. and that ii
would thus he*'hle to pay enormous
dividends upon It's stock during the
cHlnlng year. that caused the a1-
vance i'll sugar stock when the final
action of the conference became
known. This is the story in nut

that the charges made by the Dem

LEAD is over one dollar on the
hundred pounds higher than it was
six months ago. While the rcviy-
ING times may have had something
TO do with the rapid increase in the
value of this commodity. it is chief
" through the increased tariff duty
that the price of lead has gone to
its present figures. 1t must be ad
mittcd by all that this county, and
several adjoining counties as well,
are directly reaping the full benefit
of a tariff which protects raw ma
torials. Our Democratic friends can
see this, but when they have snothcr
chance they will probably vote for
men who will favor placing lead
ore on the free list. which would
result in lower prices for the home
product through the importation of
cheap foreign ores. If hard times
have affected some of our lead
miners within the past few years.
they We're largely to blame for it
themselves. If their condition is
now bettering itself, we hope they
will give the credit Of it to the Re
publican protective tariff.

Princeton's Athletic Successes.

1t was a Princeton man who revised
the Rugby rules of football and adapted
them for American colleges, J. Potter
of the class of N. Andrew James Nc
Gosh, son of the illustrious President
McCosh, was captain of the Princeton
team that year. His team played the
Association style of game during most
of the season, but relinquished it to
adopt Potter's new mode of play. The
intI sct il( yiate world adopted it imme-
diately, ard the present game includes
most of its features. Alexander Moffat,
captain Of the 'S3 team, was Prince
ton most famous kicker. Lamar made
the most celebrated run which plucked
victory from defeat in the game against
Yale in 1856. The curve in pitching
baseball, which has become universal as
an essential feature, was invented and
first applied in an amateur game in the
fall of 1874 by j. NJ. Mann of Prince
ton, class of '76. The wedge in foot
ball, from which have developed all the
mass plays now the subject Of so much
discussion, was invented by the Hodges
of Princeton, who learned it from study
ing Cnsar's Commentaries on the Gal
lie War, and the same men introduced
the modern system of bringing the
backs up close to the line. A Princeton
man (Smock, '79) invented the can

way it is done. Take a chair without a

in the stroke that the power is applied

ought to be turned out till the toes are
