TIE SENATE AND SUGAR.

The United States senate is again in
danger of being scandalzeH in connec-
ton with the tariff on sugar. The
charge that the sugar schedule of the
house bill was changed in the interest
OF the trust and the reports that mem
bars Of the senate had made Il profitable
speculation III sugar stock by reason of
the change, were Haunted before the
country in the course of the debate on
the resolution to bring Il. r. Chapman
the contumaciouS witness. before the
bar of the senate. Chapman. Il broker
refused To answer questions put by II
senate investigating committee respect
ing the alleged speCulatiOns Of senators
in sugar stocks during the pendency of
the tariff bill three years ago. For this
he has been sentenced to n short term iii
/ Jail ana an earnest effort has been made
to induce the president 10 pardon him.
Some senators think that Chapman
should b. brought before the bar Of the
senate ana receive punishment for con
tempe which if done would proba bly, be
followed by like action in respect to the
officials Of the Sugar trust who refused
10 answer questions.
In the course OF the discussion Of this
matter in the senate on Thursday Sena-
tor 1illman took occasion to refer to the
charges in connection with the sugar
schedule of the new tariff bin as re-
ported TO the senate. declaring that

1t is to be hoped that the Western
Passenger association will not put an
end TO the homeSeekers' excursions
that have been run at reduced fares by
western railroads for n number of years
past. These excursions have served the
useful purpose of enabling prospective
settlers to inspect different regions that
are holding out inducements to them
ard have assisted unquestionably in the
work of populatng the border states.

schedule slmnc be thoroughly in-

1t is admitted Hhat the sugar schedule
in the bill reported TO the senate, with
its ad valorem duty, is very much more
favorable to The trust than the schedule
of the house bill with its specific duties
only. 1t is claiped for the former that
it would yield more revenue, but this
is questioned by so competent an author
ity as Chairman Dingley. 1t Is possible
that the trainers of the senate bill Will
be able to give the country satisfactory
explanation of their action in this
particular, but in any event the charge of
senatorial speculation in sugar stock
should be thoroughly investigated.

TIE PHILADELPHIA CELEBRATION

THE PHILADELPHIA CELEBRA TON
There will be n celebration of national
interest In Philadelphia today. a monu-
ment to Washington will be unvailed
in that city and the occasion will be
made memorable by one of the greatest
public demonstrations ever made any
where in the country. 1t is not eX
pected that this will quite equal in pro
portions the demonstration at the dedi-
cation of the Grant monument in New
York, but it will not fall far short of
that magnificent expression of popular
patriotism and enthusiasm.
In historic associations Philadelphia
stands first among American cities. 1t
was there that the Declaration of lndc-
pendcnce was adopted and signed; there
the constitution was framed, and there
Washington lived as president of the
United States. In view of this it is
somewhat remarkable that Philadelphia
has been until now without ii Washing
ton monument but the fact is not to
be attributed to any lack of patriotism
or to any want of admiration for the
character of Washington on the part of
her people. Nowhere is the memory of
the Father of His Country held in
higher reverence.
This occasion will add to the vast vol
ume of eulogy that has been pronounced
upon Washington and it will serve TO
remind the world that the American
people of today as profoundly honor that
illustrious character us at any time in
our history. Every word of homage to
the memory of Washington uttered in
Philadelphia will find II hearty response
i'll every quarter of the republic.

OMAHA GETS TIE SUPPLY DEPOT.

The news that Omaha'S fight in con
grcss for an Indian supply depot which
will make it II principal distributing
point for the supplies furnished by the
government to the Indians upon the diff
fcrcnt Indian reservations of the west IS
rightly received by the people of this
and surrounding cities with satisfaction
and clatiOn. While the effort to secure
this concession has been prOtracted and
SrCnuuusly opposed the result is the tri.
umph of the right and victory for com
mon sense.
Locating an Indian depot At Omaha
means the bringing of the base of sup
plies to the natural point of raGi,tion TO
the various reservations. Tie benefit to
the government must be material in the
shortening of the line of transportation
and the cheapening of prices paid fo"
the goods consumed by the Indians.

The opposition of New York and Chi

the knowledge that it would mean Il

An Ohio judge recently cited an editor

held that the article was not contemptuOus

Bishop Potter of New York thus speaks
OF his visit to a large factory the other

metal two or three times, throw it into

appears to have aroused the fire of indignation

proceeded to deliver an address upon the
evil influence of machinery, thereby placing
himself In the ranks Of somewhat antiquated

ancient tenets.
The objections raised by the theorists and

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

When modern Greece. by the grace OF the

| the boundaries that were necessary TO her
defense as state. The island of Crete was
made Turkish soil, and although the Cretans
nave reNolted nine times and Greece has
each time come to their assistance, the
powers have invariably checked them. while
the leaving of one Of the mountain passes on
the northern frontier of Greece in the hands
OF Turkey made the entrance of the Turkish
army in the present campaign free from all
distractions. The ambitions of the great
powers have always made their policy toward
Greece a hostile one. As far back as 1880
England prevented the union OF Crete with
Greece on the ground that the Greeks would
