Col William Preston Johnston has re-
sumed his duties as president Of Tulane
university, New Orleans, after spending
six months in Europe.
Gen. Thomas A. Huguenin, who died the
other day in Charleston was the last COM
mander Of Fort Sumter When Gov. Till
man ordered the Charleston troops to Oar
hngton in the spring of 1894, Gen. Hugue-
min consulted with his officers. They told
him their men would not go to Darlington
to protect lot of whisky spies who had
got themselves in trouble. The general
then, taking upon his own shoulders the
entire responsibility, sent word that the
Fourth brigade would not go. AS he ex-
pected, and an feared. this caused a COM
plete change in the brigade, and the name
of Gen. Huguenin was not on the new mus
ter roll.
Prof J.. Holt Schooling. fellow OF the
Royal Statistical Society of Great Britain,
has just completed a very interesting in
vestigation, by which he has been enabled
to show some curious facts relative to the
insanity of the British people, says the
New York Herald. He tells us how many
persons go mad and why they do So He
declares that one person in every SO6 of
the population of Britain is a maniac, and
that that ratio promises to increase. The
results of Prof. Schooling's mathematical
calculation, boiled down into succinct
facts, show that in every 10000 of the Eng
lish and Welsh population, 31.4 people are
lunatics. In every 10000 of the Scotch
population, 1876 people are lunatics In
every 10000 of the Irish population 403
people are lunatics. Entering into the
causes as to why men go mad, Prof.
Schooling strikes a mighty blow for the
cause of temperance when he makes the
statement, solely inspired by his investi-
cations and the accurate results thereof,
that drink. liquor, sends mad nearly one
third of all the persons who become in
sane in Great Britain from the eight lead
ing causes of insanity in that territory.
He places these eight principal causes of
insanity and the percentage of each as

1t is stated in our dispatches this morn
ing that the tax on raw sugar in the
tariff bill will be one cent and five-eighths
a pound, and that there will be an addi-
tonal duty of one-eighth of cent
pound on refined sugar. The present duty
is an ad valorem duty of 40 per cent, and
an additional duty on refined sugar of
one-eight of a cent pound.
The proposed increase of duty on raw
sugar is great increase, and if it should
be adopted it would greatly increase the
price of sugar to the consumer. And it
is not probable that the sugar refneries
would be satisfied with differental of
only one-eighth of one cent a pound.
The views of the republican leaders
have evidently undergone a great change
in respect to the duty on sugar. In the
Mckinley tariff, which was so promptly
repudiated by the people, raw sugar was
on the free list, and the sugar planters
of this country were given bounty
Cheap sugar, the republican leaders
thought, and a bounty to the sugar plant
ers, would make the republican party
popular. They were greatly mistaken.
The revenue that had been derived from
sugar was cut off. and the loss of this
revenue helped to bring about the deficit
in the treasury. The bounty system was
not popular with either the sugar plant
ers or the producers of other agricultural
products. The sugar planters objected to
it, because It did not yield them as much
as the sugar duty had yielded them, and
the producers of wheat and corn ana cot
ton contended that they were as much en-
titled to a bounty as the sugar planters.
The democrats therefore in framing the
present tariff abandoned the bounty sys-
tenn and adopted an ad valorem duty.
The high sugar duty which the repub-
leans propose to adopt shows that thoy
intend to get the most of the additional
revenue which It IS necessary to have
from that duty. Sugar is an article Of
necessary consumption, and to raise the
price of it considerably will not be popu-
lar. II the additional revenue could be
got from Injuries there ought 70 be no
hesitation In getting II from them. The
probabilities are however, that IN order

The rush for offices at Washington is
unprecedented. The city is full of office
seekers. 1t is estimated that the number
of applications for federal positions is
already greater than that filed after Presi-
dent Cleveland's first administration, and
the democratic party had then been out
of power for more than a quarter Of
century.
The President refuses at present to see
applicants for Office. 1t would be folly
for him to undertake to do so. He
couldn't see a hundredth part of them,
and hear what each one has to say. with
in the next three months. even If he
should give his whole time to them. What
he has done in respect to office-seekers
is perhaps the wisest thing he could have
done. He has notified the chief repubn-
can boss in each of the states that he will
talk with him about the federal patron
age in his state. Some of these bosses
are now in Washington, and they are
presenting states to him. He may not
follow their recommendations in all in
stances, but it is pretty safe to say that
the men they name will as a rule. be APP
pointed.
The President isn't going to be in a
hurry to make appointments, except in
tlie diplomatic service. He seems inclined
to let the postmasters. district attorneys,
marshals collectors and others serve out
their terms of office. 1t would be a good
rule to adopt, namely that where an
official is giving satisfaction let him
serve out his term.
Suppose the spoils system still existed!
Wouldn't the public service be thorough
ly demoralized for the next year? Max
ing changes in a hundred thousand places
in the public service would almost bring
about a revolution. And yet there are
republicans in congress, and democrats,
too, for that matter, who are anxious for
an opportunity to vote for the repeal of
the civil service law. The repeal of that
law would be one of the worst things that
could happen to the country.
Is there not something amiss in sys-
TENS that requires that the President shall
give his personal attention to the filing
of thousands of petty offices? He should
Of course select the chief men in the dip
lomatic service and the judges, but why
should he give his time to postmasters
and district attorneys and marshals, etc?
There is talk of creating a department
of commerce. Is there not greater need of
a department of patronage? The Presi-
dents time ought to be devoted to ques-
tons involving the welfare of the repub-
lie rather than to the examination of the
endorsements of applicants for petty Of
fees.

London and New York society is inter-
ested in a story to the effect that the
young Duchess of Marlborough is ambi-
tious to secure the return of Marlborough
House, the residence of the Prince of
Wales, TO her husband. 1t seems that
the title of the crown to the property is
defective. Generations ago the property
was sold by the then Duke of Marlbor-
ough to the crown, upon conditions. 1t
appears that before the conditions were
complied with and the deeds of transfer
signed and delivered, the duke died, and
the papers were never signed. The prop
arty was in the hands of the crown at the
time, and has been ever since used as
royal residence. The young American
duchess, so the story goes, has determined
to have the place restored TO the MARI
boroughs, even if she has TO spend sew
eral of her millions to bring it about.
