FIRST FRUITS OF VICTORY,

We ave been waiting to see what
comment our Republican contempora-
ries would make upon the circular of
the sugar trust that startled the mar
kets Monday morning, July 26, an
nouncing an advance of from one-six-
teenth to three-sixteenths of a cent a.
pound in the care rates, but, singular
ly, we have seen none. The situation
seemed to call for some explanation
from them, for they had beer conf

new rate gave the trust no greater ad-

as it unquestionably was. They had
jubilated over the great victory the
house had won over the trusts senate
rate, and duly head-lined the victory
as a surrender Of the senate and 'the
sugar trust downed." To have the
trust send prices up two days after the
president had signed the bill was an
event that seemed to afford occasion
for the a%pologists of the Great Apes
tie to exercise their exculpatory pow
ers.
The street had no computations t.
restrain comment. The New York
special to the Chicago Tribune that
gave the details of the circular noted
that "the increase was charged by
many to. the new tariff" and 'it was

PICNIC IN SECTIONS.
Street Railway Men Spend a Joyous
Day at Wildwood.

The local employees Of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company and their
friends took possession of Wildwood
yesterday, in the first day of their
annual picnic, and excepting the un-
pleasant weather of part of the after
noon, every hour of the day was filled
with enjoyment to the 800 who attend
ed. The trainmen had made every ar.
rangement for a successful outing and
saw their expectations realized. AT 9
o'clock, the starting time of the first
car from the terminal of the East
Seventh street line, crowds Of conduc.
tors and mOtormen, with their wives
and children, were on hand ready fol
the lake. Well stocked lunch baskets
went with each party of picnickerS.
Special trains were run from the out
lying barns for the accommodation or
the operators and every half hour after
the first train started owe the subur-
ban road for the lake found another
crowd eager to be or the way to the
pleasure ground.
Once at Wildwood a variety of en-
tertainment was presented. The pro-
gramme Of athletic sports was put on
for those who cared to participate II,

and roller skating rink claimed theil

track throughout the day in pleasures

the wire.
In the morning there was a base bali
game of five innings between teams
chosen from the Selby avenu and the
East Seventh street barns, which was
won by the former aggregation by a
score of II to 7. After dinner the vic.
tors played a second game with a team
from the Rice street barn and again
carried off the palm by a score Of Il
to 3. Umpires Glenn and Newbury
had their hands full during the games
and the latter was frequently threat
ened with being VI into the bar for
his peculiar decisions. Owing to the
good management of the committee
having the athletics in charge all OF
the games were concluded before rain
came UP about 2 o'clock. Although
it rained quite hard for nearly an hour
the picnickers rather considered the
downpour an incident of the day and
did not allow it to interfere materially
with their enjoyment. Sheltering them
selves in the pavilion and skating rink,
where music and dancing livened their
spirits, time sped quite az pleasantly
as during the bright morning. Special
cars returned the picnickers to then
particular part of the city Upon The

worked yesterday while their fellow

FACTS AND LOGIC AWRY,

With its usual ~inaccuracy of both
fact and argument, the Pioneer Press
makes some comments upon our action
in the matter Of the seal fishery
awards that do not stand a moments
investigation. The truth of the case
is precisely as the Glob e stated it,
and could not De better summed up
than in the extract quoted by our con-
temporary. 10 the. Paris arbitrator
was submitted the question whether
or not we had exclusive seal fishing
privileges in Bering sea. If we. had,
Great Britain owed us money damages
for seals caught within our preserves.
If we had not, we owed Great Britain
something as compensation for vessels
a~pprehended and cargoes co~nfiscated.
The decision was against US. The ar
bitration tribunal did not fix the
amount Of damages, but left that to
be agreed upon by the two govern
ments They did so agree. The secre-
tary Of state had full authority to act
in the premises, as mad the British for
eign office. He did not have authority
to appropriate the money, nor lie any
one ever assume hat ne did.
With characteristic unfairness and
readiness to misrepresent, the Pioneer
Press says that the sum of $425, 900 was
fixed Upon ~off-hand, without any in
vestigation, by President Cleveland and
the British foreign secretary" Those
who are looking for truth would be
pleased to know where it got it's infor-
nation that President Cleveland, and
not his secretary of state, decided the
matter: and also that the decision was
reached without n investigation"
This assumption that a high officer Of
state who, whatever his other failures.
was a devoted and patriotic American,
and against whom no lack of earnest
ness in defense of his country's rights
has ever been charged, would voIun-
tarily agree to saddle upon his nation
an u~nwarranted award without any
investigation" is a partisan SANDER
that carries it's refutation on it's face.
The assumption that about the lump
sum which Cleveland was willing to
pay there hung a strong suspicion of
extravaganza" is an insinuation of the
same stripe as those made by Mr.. Dom
nelly and vigorously rebuked by the
Pioneer Press itself, at the cost of
$1,000 in cash.
To say that the agreement reached be-
tween the two governments was "un-
constitutional" is an even greater
abuse of language or of fact. Again.
it would be gratifying to have the
Pioneer Press point out what there
was unconstitutional" in an agree
ment within the lines laid down by the
arbitration tribunal that we owed a
certain sum to Great Britain and an
application to congress to appropriate
the sum. On this theory the st. Paul
school board is acting unconstitutional
ly in making up it's budget and submit
ting it to a counc which has to pro-
vide necessary funds. The sole reason
why the appropriation was not made
by congress was the vindictive hatred
of MI. Cleveland that prevailed in both
houses. 1t is hardly worth while at
this time for the Pioneer Press to range
itself again on that side, at the ex-
pense of both logic and fact.
