The senate voted to take not less
than SIS, PA, 900 out Of the pockets
Of the American people and present
1t to the sugar trust. The republi.
cans were able to force the bounty
through only with the aid of the
democrat, McEnery, Of Louisiana,
and Jones and Stewart, the two
ancient Nevada friends Of the sugar
trust.
The republicans felt that they did
not dare pass this schedule in 81
lence. So in the absence Of Aldrich,
Senator Allison undertook to defend
the indefensible and excuse the in.
excusable. But he made sad mess
Of 1t.
When Mr.. German proved that the
trust was getting double the protec.
lection Of the present tariff law. Mr..
Allison could not deny it. When
Mr.. Jones, Of Arkansas, showed that
the schedule was based upon false
figures furnished by the trust, MIR.
Allison could not get around it.
When Mr.. White showed that the
bounty to the trust was at least
e6S.241. 900, Mr.. Allison could only
wave IL aside.
But the republicans made up for
their weakness in argument In their
strength in votes. And the trust bad
its way.

National had been paying immense div
idends. amounting in the aggregate to

The stockholders were mostly Illinois
people. Receiver Hayden. of the Mosher
bank. now has brought suit against these
stockholders to force them to return the
dividends paid by Mosher on the ground
that they were not earned, but were
paid out Of the money Of the depositors.
He declares the books show that the
bank never made dollar. The law is
clear that If the dividends were unearned
they must be returned to reimburse the
depositors. Mosher is now living IN
Chicago, il Is said, in regal STYLE.
