SUGAR STOCKS AND TARIFF.

The New York Times gives some very
interesting figures regarding the price
of Sugar certificates and the tariff. 1t
says that:
when the Dingley bill went to the
senate Sugar certificates were selling
at lis.
when the bill came out of the Re-
publican senate caucus they were SELL
ing at 125.
when the bill went into the hands
of the conference committees Sugar
certificates were selling at 1919.
Since the bill has been in confer
ence the price has advanced to 1875.
Anyone who bought the stock be-
fore the bill went into the caucus and
sold yesterday. cleared about s23 on
every share. If he were able to buv
ON a margin say 10000 shares, his
profits were equivalent to the salary of
a United States senator for forty-six
years
The Sugar trust is one of the most
fortunate institutions in the world in
having a congress to deal with that
sees eye to eye with it on the very i'm
portant question of the tariff to be
imposed upon sugar so that it shall
produce the greatest good TO the least
number. The reciprocity between the
Sugar trust and congress is one of the
most marvellous things in American
politics.

TALES OF THE DAY.
How He Won Her.

hoW he won her.
Chicago Record: Once there was a man
and a woman.
The woman had much money
The mans assets consisted wholly of
liabilities. and they were numerous and
large.
The man said: Il via marry the wom-
and" And he caused runlor to that eff
self: Il am out nothing If it happens not
to happen, and the rlmor in Itself may
serve as a credit-strengthening act and
he was correct in his diagnosis.
The man brought to the woman costly
presents purchased on credit, and he told
her many things which In polite society
are called fairy tales but she pointedly
told him that his plans were of no avail
Then the man went 10 friend and re-
QueSted that the friend call on the wom-
an and say: The man is only seeking
how much fun he can have with you. To
your face he declares you are beautiful
ana bright, but behind your back and on
the streets of the city he asserts that you
are like unto a mud fence and are dull of
conversation"
In one hour and a half the man sent a
note to the woman saying that he had
been suddenly called from the city, and
swearing that Efe would be cold and
blank without her while he was away
But the friend had intimated 10 the wom-
an that the man was about to depart
from the city for all time
The woman Immediately, therefore, be-
gan a suit for breach of promise, and
the man compromised by marrying her,
and took the premium that. fell at the
county fair for having a long head.

THE CITY'S GROWING REPUTA-
TON.

Yesterday the mississippi con-
gress adjourned, and SaR Lake City
has demonstrated to the satisfaction
of a great convention. It is true the
congress was not so large in numbers
as to put a strain upon the city's re-
sources; in fact it may be said that in
one sense the city was not conscious
of the presence of the congress, so
smoothly did things go. Had it been
very much larger it would have been
handled with the same ease that it
vas.
This week the whole state celebrates
in the city the semi ami
versary of the foundation of the COM
monwealth. Every indication is that
there viii be many thousands of visit
ors This will test anew the capacity
of the city TO accommodate and take
care of large numbers of people. Every
provision has been made for this and
there is no question that our Jubilee
visitors will be as well taken care Of
and put to as little inconvenience as
were the Trans Mississippi congress
visitors, many of whom will probably
be Jubilee visitors also; it is certainly
TO be hoped that they will be Jubilee
visitors.
The city is proving its claims as a
place for holding conventions and the
like, and in the future it should be able
to secure the holding Of many import
ant gatherings here. There is every
reason to believe that our Christian
Endeavor visitors went away delighted
with the city and charmed with its
people. The members of the Trans
Mississippi congress will carry away
with them pleasant memories and de-
sire to come again, and there is every
ground to think that the Jubilee visit
ors will do the same.
This year the city has had an OPP
portunity to make reputation for it
self that it never had before, and it has
taken advantage of it. Henceforth all
possible should be done 10 increase that
reputation, and will be- The year 1897
should be a red letter day for this city
and the whole state.

DEALING WITH TRAMPs.

There is scarcely town in the state
that is not more or less infested with
tranps, but perhaps none more than
Brigham City is. It's proximity to the
railroads accounts for this.
The Bugler that came to hand last
evening tells of some experiences that
citizens of Brigham City have had
recently. One tramp came along and
ordered a citizen 10 Get me something
to eat; and that bloody soonr' The
citizen was an old man, but still a man
of muscle. After throwing the tramp
down he kicked him off his premises
Whoever the citizen was henceforth he
should be known as Brigham City's
grand old man.
Not very long ago. couple of tramps
called a a house near the railway sta
ton and told the man OF the house
they were going to have some of his
chickens to eat, and forthwith started
for his hen coop. The man of the
house started for his shotgun, and
when the tramps saw him with it they
took TO their heels. 1t was dark, but
he emptied a. barrel at them, and with
apparently good effect, for next morn
ing he saw a few traces of blood. The
people Of Brigham City should make
that man city marshal.
Only last week Bugler reporter saw
one young rascal up to the tricks of
the trade. He pretended to be fright
fully lame, barely being able to drag
himself along on two clutches. He was
begging of course. Passing down the
street with several of his feather, he
could not keep on his crutches. So
what did this frighsfully lame fellow
do but, when he thought himself I'M
observed, pick up both crutches in one
hand and run along as nimbly as
cat. Then he came to a store, and as
Stunning doleful air and an extremely
painful limp he dragged himself in and
begged for aims.
With comparatively few exceptions
it is just as we'll to waste sympathy
on grey wolves as on tramps, and grey
wolves are just about as grateful for
sympathy and assistance as tramps
are.
The citizens of Brigham seem to have
a proper appreciation of tramps, and
the two mentioned by the Bugler have
set an example worthy of imitation by
the citizens of every town in the state
And when municipal authorities I'M
deTfake to deal with them they should
be made to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow Then they will
appreciate it, but not otherwise.

An exchange. speaking of the Paris
exposition in 1900 and the representa-
ton OF this country at it, says that con-
gress still persists in takinS a pro-
vincial view Of the need of the United
States to be represented at the Paris
exposition in 1900 This is now the only
leading government of the civilized
world that has not properly accepted
Frances official invitation to partici-
pate in the great fair, and the fact that
the paltry sum of only $4,000 has been
added by senate amendment to the
general deficiency bill for representa-
ton at Paris would seem to indicate
that congress is not disposed to do any
more than this during the present ses-
sion. The house may, indeed, fail to
approve Of any legislation at all in the
matter, since It has opposed all pre-
vious bills that have originated in the
senate for this purpose.
This country should be represented
at Paris in 1900, and represented ac-
c0rGing to its rank among the nations;
anything less would be a disgrace to it. j

The Philadelphia Ledger thinks the
country can get along very well with
out currency debate at this time, but
we cannot see wherein it could Go any
great harm to business; that no change
except in the right direction would be
threatened; that business men would
be insured that in spite of the vapor-
ings at Washington the currency would
remain on sound money-that is.
gold-basis, and that, whether congress
should or should not provide for a COM
mission, the president would remain
bar to any change in the currency
laws except in the way of betterment.
1t says the president should have the
courage of his convictions and send his
message recommending the appoint
ment of a currency commission, re-
CARELESS of the possible fate of his rec
ommendation. A feeble policy will re-
suit in a do-nothing administration;
whereas, boldness and firmness may
win for him the support of both senate
and house. The Ledger is not of the
opinion that the message should go in
on any particular day, but that il
would probably be well to withhold Il
until the tariff question has been dis
posed of, but the president ought to
define his policy on the currency ques-
ton before the adjournment of con-
gress and sound the keynote of next
falls campaign, whether he can now
command the support of senate and
house or must wait until the regular
session before obtaining a majority in
support of the Republican policy as
declared in the party's platform.
The tariff being practically disposed
of now. the president may send a mes
sage to congress on the currency ques-
ton, but if he does he viii define no
policy; in fact, it may be doubted
whether the president will have any
definite financial policy until the VOL
colt commission makes its final report.
