HONEST. BUT CUTE YANKEE.
His HeneOoD straddIes the Line be-
tween Arizona and Mexico.

His HeneOOp StraddIes the Line he
tween Arizona and Mexico.
There is a funny case OF international
honesty down in Arizona, just on the
line between that territory and Mexico,
says the Washington Times. 4 Yam
kee farmer lives there, one Amasa Bar
row by name, and it is his business to
raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap
in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices
in Arizona, but 70 raise fowls in Mex
leo and bring them across the boun-
dairy, or 10 buy the feed and bring il
across, would involve the payment of
a considerable duty, which would eat
the profits about as fast as the hens
could eat the corn. As for smuggling,
that was not to be thought of.
Amasa is a Yankee, and he is so hon
est that his neighbors say he wouldn't
take advantage of a man in a horse
trade. But he is also full of Yankee
ingenuity, and after deer cogitation
he built a long, slim hencoop. one-half
of it IN Arizona and the 9th er in Mexico.
On the line there is a gate Over the
line there are barns containing feed.
At feeding time the gate is opened, and
the chicken fancier Shoes his flock into
Mexico, where they eat their meal.
Then he Shoes them back to the protec-
ton of the American flag, where they
digest this Mexican grain, lay their
eggs and carry on their family affairs.
Mr.. Barrow saves about so per cent.
on his grain, and makes about that
much on his chickens, and if there is
any smuggling done it is done by the
innncent and irrasnnnsihla hiddias

Where there is will there is a way
for bright and enthusiastic young
folks to raise a sum with which to ira

both individual and collective, for rails

The passenger train which leaves Ha-

Senator Pettigrew desired to nave his
amendment relative to trusts voted on
as a part of the sugar schedule.
Senator Allison asked that II go over,
but Senator Pettigrew said he felt like
settling the issue now unless oVerruled
by the senate.
Senator Vest remarked that he had
not supposed there was any dlHerence
among parties on the proprlety or this
amendment. Now was the time to dis
pose of it, otherwise the whole sugar
debate would be reopened at a later
date. The sugar subject was a source
of calumny. scandal and irritation,
and there would be no peace until II
was disposed of.
Senator Pettigrew said that this anti
trust policy had been plank OF the
republican party up to the time OF
the st. Louis convention, when 1t was
left out of the platform.
Senator Hoar said he expected to do
everything in his power to check the
evils complained of. But ii had no
place in the tariff bill, he said and
should be dealt with as separate
measure. He trusted such measure
would be devised. Senator Hoar said
he specially objected to that feature
of the amendment which permitted two
or more men to form combination
and thus force the articles handed by
them on the free list.
Senator Allison moved to lay the
Pettigrew amendment on the table. The
vote was taken and the amendment
was tabled, 35 yeas, 81 nays.

Vest on the Sugar Trust.

Senator Vest followed Senator Jones
in criticism of the general features of
the sugar schedule. 1t had always
been he said the Cape Hatteras of the
tariff debate. II involved the whole
question of the existence of the gigan-
tic sugar trust. which had absorbed
refinery after refinery, until 1T was SUI
preme and all powerful in the field. The

enormous profits of this trust. 1t show

and I per cent on the preferred stock
1t was an open, bold, admitted trust.
Canery on Sugar Scandals.
Senator Caffery followed. The old
fight between the producers of raw SUI
gar and the refiner, which in this
country was the trust, was, he said
again on. He spoke Of the scandal of
1894 over the sugar schedule, produced
by the rapacity of the sugar trust. 1t
was to be repeated now. There were
consumed in this country four billion
pounds of sugar annually. If the trust
was to receive half a cent a pound
as this schedule proposed, that would
mean $50, 900, 900 to the trust Here,
then, was the impellant cause which
brought this great corporation to
Washington to look after it's interests.
They not only control the price, but
they advance it, he said.
A statement made by him, he said.

acts the profits of the sugar trust we're
