THE LEXow TRUST INVEsTIGA.
TION

In the State Of New York may not result
in remedial legislation, but it has brought
out facts of importance ahead. The
testimony of the Havemeyers and
Searles of the sugar trust, shows the
object is, in part, to control prices. 1t
controls both the price of what it buys
and Of what it sells. 1t refnes 100000
tons of sugar annually, or eighty per
cent of the entire amount refined in the
country. Fewer employees are needed
for given output than before the trust
was formed. Wages were raised ten per
cent when the trust was organized in
1887, and have remained about station
ary since then.
The average margin between the price
of raw and refined sugar was .S5 cent
during the five years preceding the
formation of the trust and fifteen per
cent more during the nine years that
have since elapsed. Competition had
prevented much profit during the five
years be fore the formation of the trust
On its formation six dollars Of trust
certificates were issued for every dollar
of stock Of the original corporations.
Seven per cent is regularly earned on
ene-half of the present capital Of $780,.
600, 900 and twelve per cent on the other
half. One hundred was the number OF
original stockholders. There are now
about nine thousand.
AS to coffee, it came out from the testi-
inony Of Mr. Arbuckle and others that
the trust fixes the prices and competi-
tors usually adopt the scale of prices as
fixed by u.s." For the stock of the
Woolson Spice Co., of q par value Of
500, $l,l50 was recently paid. Like
the sugar trust, the trust in coffee keeps
buying competing plants, instead Of
building new ones. Thus competition

RICHARD III.
He Never injured the Masses and Was
Not Unpopular with Them.

He Never Injured the Masses and Was
Not Unpopular with Them.
II Richard he tried by the only proper
standard, that Of his own time, he will
be found to be not more but less cruel
and bloody than either his predecessors
or those who came after him. The act
which has especially blackened his
memory is the mysterious removal or
murder Of the princes. Yet Clifford,
backed by Margaret Of Anjou, had kill
ed in cold blood Richards brother, the
Earl of Ruchland, boy of 16, while
Henry VII imprisoned and executed the
feeble minded Earl of Warwick, the son
of Clarence. In mere numbers of exc
cutions, excluding Of course, on both
sides those who were taken in open re-
bellion, RICHARD has much less to an
swer for than Queen Margaret or Henry
VII and far less than Henry VIII, who
put to death anybody who happened to
be distasteful to him On political, per-
sonal or religious grounds. There was
no public opinion III that day against
putting to death any one who had played
and lost i'll the great struggle of politics.
Executions were recognized part of
the business. When the game went
against statesman in those days, as
Mr.. Speaker Reed once said, he did not
cross the aisle and take his place as the
leader Of his majesty's opposition; he
was sent to the tower and had his head
rut off. Autres temps, autres m9urs.
At every turn of the wheel in the long
struggle between the Lancastrians and
the Yorkists the victorious party al
ways executed every leader of the other
side upon whom they could lay hands
Such were the rules of the society and
such the politics in which Richard was
brought up, and he played according to
those rules and without excess, paying
the final forfeit himself with undaunted
courage.
Nothing is farther from the truth
than the notion that Richard was un-
popular with the masses of the people.
He had never injured them, and they
did not care how many mobiles or princes
he put to death.-Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge in Scribner's.

THE ASSIGNMENT

Of the Democrat Publishing Company,
it is proper to say to our readers and
friends, is a step forced upon the present
management as matter of protection
against former liabilities for which they
are no way responsible.
There will be no interruption in the
business whatever, Mr., John o. Harmony
being the assignee, gives assurance that
matters will continue to be carefully and
properly looked after.
Of late the business has been much
improved and is in good shape and on a
paying lasis, and the present
management believe they enjoy, in a
fair degree, the confidence Of patrons
and friends, as well as that of the COM
munity in general.
The assignment then is not in conse.
uuence of liabilities incurred by the
present management, for they have met
and are able to meet all proper demands.
We deem it best to make the foregoing
statement in order to give our friends a
correct understanding of the situation,
and possibly prevent or remove appre-
hension. A. MCGREGoR.

Laws against trusts were enacted by
Congress in response TO an irresistible
popular demand for protection against
robbery. Mr.. Harrison defeated the
peoples purpose by appointing an in
competent attorney as chief law officer
of the government The people resent
ed the a1ront at the polls in 1890, and
as no atonement was made they swept
the Republican party out of place in
1892 by an overwhelming majority. Mr..
Cleveland was no better than Harrison,

who was the hired lawyer of the whisky

masters and made no attempt to enforce

enacted for the purpose Of suppresslng
trusts, which are conspiracies to rob and

ley, of Nebraska, is a defauter to the
great amount of S5S7 ,762, and the Re-
publi,an State Auditor, Moore, is also
found to be short in his accounts with

came about when the newly elected
State Off .crs took charge the first of the
year, The treasurer at first refused to
pay over the money on the ground that
to call it in suddenly would break every
depository of State funds. OF the miss
ing money over s4OO, 900 belonged to the
school funds Of the State. Speculation
in State funds, the natural outcome Of
a vicious system, is responsible for the
disappearance of the money.

BAYARD IN ENGLAND.

The Washington Post is not an
admirer of Ambassador Bayard. 1--WE
all know" says the Post, "what Mr..
Bayard's course in England has been.
We know all about the mushy and
hysterical gospel of gush that has
preached for the past four years about
his disparagement of his fellow country
men as turbulent and unruly people,
about his exaltation of England, Eng.
lish manners and English customs, and
his eternal whining over brotherhood
and love, always with piteous plea for
British forgiveness of our rude ignor-
ance and boorish vulgarity. Mr.. Bay.
ard has been, from the beginning of his
term, an industrious toady-a sort of
apologist for the American people. He
has virtually acknowledged that we are
a coarse, Beotian rabble and has begged
England to overlook our faults and to
help him lift us to the enlightened level
Of English culture. He has revealed to
his British patrons the fact that he is
ashamed of us--not of the select few,
the cuckoos, of whom he is the chief,
but of the great mass of the population,
with their narrow understanding and
their benighted ways. Oh. yes, we all
know what Bayard has been and what a
debt the American people owe him."

SANDBOX TREES.

The Gigantic Touch Me Nots of the Tropics
Have Explosive Fruits.
Everybody is familiar with the
"touch me not" the pretty jewel weed
that grows along the side of water
courses. When its seed pods are ripe, at
the slightest touch they will explode,
blowing the seeds in your face The
giant among them is the sandbox tree
(Hura crepitans), a native Of tropical
America. Its furrowed fruits are as
large as an orange. Cosmos of Paris
thus describes this Krupp gun Of the
vegetable world:
''It is often cultivated as an orna-
mental tree, both in its native country
and in other parts Of the globe, notably
in certain gardens in the Indies. Its
fruit looks ON the outside something like
a melon; it is formed exactly like that
Of our native euphorbias, of sections,
which at maturity separate violently
with so intense a report that it has been
compared TO the sound Of a pistol,
throwing its seed to considerable dis
tance.
with the fruit very pretty sand
box can be made by cutting circular
opening in the upper part, extracting
the seeds and then covering the open
ing. The opposite side is perforated
with little holes A sandbox thus made
is very difficult to keep, for the time al
ways comes when, aided by the drying
process, the sections suddenly split, with
q characteristic sound.
"The violent splitting of the fruit Of
the sablier is explained very simply by
process analogous to that which causes
the two halves Of split stick to curl
apart and depends upon the unequal
extensibility of the elements of the
valves which produces the mechanical
effect due to it at the precise moment
when the sutures, the lines of least re-
sistance, are opened by the progress OF
desiccation. I"
