so charged of trial by jury it is unconsti-
tutonal. The importance of this decision
lies in the fact that the court of general
sessi ons cannot try all of the excise cases.
There are not judges, juries and court
rooms enough. Every person charged
with violation will, of course, demand a
jury trial This will clog the wheels of
justice, and many will 60 unpunished for
years. This was the way the law used to
work. 1t was intended by the new law to
expedite matters by transferring the ex-
else cases to the court of special sessions,
but under Justice Andrews decision this
evidently will not stand. He says that the
statute having made intoxication in pub
lie place criminal offence, the accused
cannot be deprived of the right of trial by
jury. In other cases not arising under ex-
else statutes, he adds, that the right of
persons charged with offences which were
merely misdemeanors to a trial by jury has
been vigorously maintained by the courts.

Lnrld Jerry RehInd the nnrs.

jeremiah r. O'Sullivan, the original
Massachusetts silver Democrat, he of the
big hat and lurid rhetoric, has been con-
victed of libelling city officials Of Lawrence,
Mass, in his sunday newspaper and SEN
fenced to Is months Imprisonment. O'Sul-
lvan is a soldier Of notoriety who poses as
a martyr. He says he will be a greater
power in Jail than as a free man. O'Sulli-
van first became a picturesque political
character when he went as a delegate to
the Democratic convention at Chicago.
He labored for the nomination of the
lacrymosa George Fred Williams as vice
presidential candidate, and disgusted the
Democrats Of standing in Massachusetts
by challenging the vote of the late eX.Gov.
Russell, who was in the convention as al
ternate in place Of John f. Russell. O'Sul-
Ivan afterward attempted to secure the
free silver support in his district as a Con
gressional candidate but again his hopes
were shattered.

News has been received at Victoria of a
storm which swept away many fishing
boats on the Chinese coast. Five hundred
men are supposed to have been drowned.
Claus A. Spreckels, son of the Califor-
mia sugar refiner, said in an interview in
New York this week: 81 am not now in
terested, except as stockholder, in the
Spreckels sugar re6neries. | retired from
active management some time ago, and my
principal reasons are that did not like the
methods of the trust. OF late the sugar
trust has been importing raw sugar from
all over the world. BY investigation l
found that the trust has between 100000
and 100000 tons of raw sugar in storage.
This has paid the present duty. AS pro-
posed now, the higher tariff would give the
trust between SIG and SIS a ton profit,
amounting to S10,000,000 or 100000.
No more sugar crops can be produced in
the world before Jan. / next. The trust
has the monopoly. Now if the senators
mean this for revenue bill alone, they
should impose an internal revenue tax upon
all sugar refined between now and Jan. l,
1898. Then this bonus of S16 or SIS
ton would go into the United States treas
ury instead of into the treasury of the sugar
trust. The trust would have no possible
cause for complaint, and the United States
would profit"

Important Action of the Week by the
senate on the Tariff Bill.

On Dill
The United States Senate disposed of
the lumber schedule on Monday. The mo-
tion of Senator Vest to place white pine on
the free list was defeated-yeas, 20; nays,
S.. Eight Democratic senators voted
against Mr.. Vests proposition and one
Republican and two Silver Republicans
voted for it. Following this a motion to
substitute the Wilson lumber schedule was
defeated, and the schedule was agreed to
as reported.
The Republican senators, in caucus
Tuesday, decided to stand together on all
the schedules in the tariff bill. The eau
Gus instructed the finance committee to re-
port a new sugar schedule. The new
schedule is to be all specific, and on all
sugar which has gone through process of
refining the duty will be one and ninety
five hundredths of a cent per pound, in
stead of one and eight hundred and 10
1000 of a cent per pound as provided by
the House. Coarse raw sugars from the
Philippine Islands and Java are to be ad-
mitted at one-tenth of a cent less than
other raw sugars. The abrogation of the
Hawaiian treaty was discussed, but no
conclusion reached, as the caucus was
obliged to adjourn at noon, when the Sem
ate met
The sugar schedule in the tariff bill was
passed over Tuesday in the Senate, and
the agricultural schedule taken up. An
amendment was adopted by vote of AZ to
10 placing raw cotton on the dutiable list
at 20 per cent advalorem. The amend
ment was proposed by Senator Bacon, cf
Georgia, on his individual responsibility,
and without the approval of the finance

The New York Herald claims to have
positive information regarding the program
which President Mckinley proposes to fol-
low, and says he will ask Congress TO pass
bill authorizing the appointment of a
currency commission before the adjourn
ment of the special session. He will ask
for a non-partisan commission of from /
to l. members to make a study of the
financial system and report what changes
should be made to place the currency up
on an absolutely safe basis and restore
confidence in the business world. Re
publican leaders believe the Senate will
dispose of the tariff bill before July l. and
the President is confident the currency
commission bill will be passed by both
houses without long discussion.

Joseph Richardson, who died at New
York Tuesday, is said to have left for
tune of $4,000, ,OOO but he was more wide
ly known for his eccentricity than his
wealth. He came to this country from
England when he was poor boy. He
laid the foundation of his fortune by build
ing the water works at Bridgeport, Conn,
in which he always held a controlling in
terest. He was associated with the Van
derbits and Goulds in constructing large
sections Of several western railroads. His
greatest aversion was to seeing his name
in print. He died in what is called the
"spite" house on Lexington avenue. The
house is several stories high and only five
feet wide. 1t was built because the owner
of the surrounding property was willing to
pay only $1,000 for the strip of land, while
Richardson wanted 5000 Richardson
afterward refused fabulous sums for the
narrow lot, He will be buried in a coffin
selected by him 80 years ago. 1t is made
of one-inch plank. Richardson's greatest
boast was: Il am working man; l want
no fuss either in life or death. When l
die, if my coffin is TOO large, ill the empty
space with sawdust'

The new Congressional library at Wash
ington was built largely through the in
iluence of Senator Morrill,. 1t is not only
the most beautiful public building in
America, but every dollar appropriated for
it was honestly spent, and while it cost
$1,000, 600 it far surpasses the New York
state capitol which represents an eXpend-
iture of over S23,O0O,OOO. Senator Morrill,
is now at work on a bill to have the gov
ernment buy land upon East Capitol street
at Washington, 90 make a square like
that upon which the library building
stands. His plan contemplates the erection
upon the new square of structure which
in architectural appearance and beauty of
interior decoration shall equal the library
building. 1t is to be the home OF the
United States Supreme Court, the Court
of Claims, the District Court of Appeals,
and other District Courts, as well as for
any international courts which may be
created to settle disputes between the ma
tions.

The Republicans of the United States
Senate have thrown the Aldrich sugar
schedule aside and agreed to act as party
on a new schedule which is slightly more
favorable to the people than the Aldrich
rate as proposed or the present German
rate now in force. Briefly, the Dingley
rate of protection on refined above raw
sugar was one-eighth cent a pound, AL
drich rate one-fourth of a cent, while the
compromise is one-fifth of cent. The
new compromise schedule makes all the
rates specific, which will prevent fraudu
lent undervaluations. The compromise
shows that the Republican senators are
not insensible to public clamor, and that
the trust is evidently bigger body than
the United States Senate, whether the lat
ter be under Republican or Democratic
control. The Republicans derided the
Democracy for its concessions to the trust,
but the Republicans can hardly point with
pride at what they propose to do. One
effect of the action of the Republican SEN
ators was to give the stock of the sugar
trust its greatest boom of the year.
