Dry Goods.

NEW YORK. July 15.-The market for dry
goods is still quiet. Buyers retcent about
buying goods in cotton lines until the price ques-
ton has been definitely decided Staple cottons
rule steady to-day, with sellers refusing to do
future business at present prices to any large
extent. Bleached goods firmer on account Of
curtailed production and buyers presence in the
market The market for denms has had some
impetus from manufacturers requirements within
the last few days. Other coarse coored cottons
are quiet in nearly all grades. Print cloths and

MAY REFUSE Low RATES.
Eastern and Western Railroads Find NJ
Profit In Big Convention Trafhc.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1S.-Trafic
men of both eastern and western lines
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
fusing in the future to make low rates
for national gatherings. This year
more than any other has shown to the
railroad men that it is foolish from
revenue standpoint to make low
rates for these big meetings The
fact is more apparent this year be-
cause the big meetings have come
close together. Western men declare
that the Christian Endeavor excur-
sions have reduced their local business
to almost nothing. Passenger trains
running regularly have not in them
enough passengers to keep the conduct
ors busy. What few are travelling are
business men. Eastern traffic men re-
port as poor business in their territory.
Local trains run almost empty and
would have no passengers were it not
for the fact that some people are
obliged to travel The reason for this
state of affairs is the cheap rate for
big meetings.

THE assiduity with which the repub.

the sugar trust is a multiplication of
Of its general fealty to all trusts. The
sugar schedule is the most infamous of
any in bill that is perhaps altogether
infamous. OF course 1t is true that
the republican party is between the
majesty Of hell and the deep blue sea,
In that 1t Is impossible to secure the
revenue necessary to run the govern
ment and at the same time levy It's
duties wholly on the protective prInei-
pie; e., only on those articles that can
not be produced at home. But they need
not levy them In such way as to tax
the people for both the government
and the trusts. The new sugar sched-
ules are said to b. so framed rs TO pre-.
vent competition Of our trust sugar
with toe outside product that can be

eiacs" and advolorems that nobody
outside few sugar trust thieves who

However 1t is said that Mr.. Mckinley,
be it said 70 his credit. is very much
opposed to this sugar schedule, so much

The attitude of the government
toward the Cuban situation is attract
ing considerable attention, as we'll IL
might. MeKinley's policy toward
Spain is Cleveland's policy toward
Spain only developed little more as
1t would have been were Cleveland
still in the chair. All this, In spite of
the ringing Cuban resolution of the
st. Louis platform. Now this but en-
phasiZes the fact, both are dominated
by the same powers. The sugar trust
undoubtedly does not want anyone but
Spain to possess CuDa, and so it is pull
ing on the coat tail of the abministra-
ton. But there is something still more
powerful than the sugar trust. In case
Uncle Sam should be drawn into war
it would be necessary to authorize =
war loan and raise war revenues. This
would be under special laws, and the
silver senators are just in position to
dictate the terms, which would be free
silver. To prevent this, plutOcracy is
willing TO suppress its thirst for bonds
and fat contracts, suffer national dis
grace, and peTmi. at our own doors the
butchery of peaceful citizens and the

1T SEEMS to be certain fact that the
executive council which appoints the
members of the railroad commission
has the power to remove them. This
was decided four years ago BY the SUI
preme court when Anthony and Mitch.
ell of Governor Humphreys old board
were ousted. Since the Developments
of the investigation, and Lswelling has
become so beautifully smeared. we be-
lieve the council should call for his res
ignatiOn from that commission and if
it is not forthcoming Gust him forth
with. The evidence 80 far brought out
seems to be ample to convince any fair
minded man of his guilt, and to have
such man in one of the responsible
positions of the State administration
and allow him to possess it in peace is
a stigma not only upon the administra.
tiOn but the party. In numerous places
public meetings Of populists have called
for bis resignation or removal and we
believe they are right in their action.
