Deal Wood for the Bench.

Deal " ssffl IOT ttlt bGBR'ti.
In the days Of earlier Republican sim
plicty pine or dea. was good enough
lumber with which to construct a judicial
bench. We have outrrown that, and now
we buill the seats upon which The ernlinc

tie ornate mahogany. Are we reyertinG 10
early principles and ideas, that deal
again shouid become the timber Of the
bench?
When re speak of deal" we mean
uarticGlar one, with which Grover Glove
land. his Secretary Of the Treasury, aud
his Attorney General are said to have had
potent connection. We refer To the deal
by wfLcn Cleveland proposed to turn over
the CEiJn Pacific Railway to the schiff
MorgaB syndicate, and To the consunrna-
tion If that deal by the present Admins
tration, acting through the President and
Attorney General AicKenna!
1t Is stated in some newspap pers of
prominence That the schiff- Morgan svndi-
cate-in- chief represents the heinterests Of e. p.
Huntington III the reorganization of the
Union Pacific Railway. 1t has been
openly aud frequently Charged that the
people Interested IN this transaction con
tribated S2,00O,o00 to Mr.. Mckinney
elect.oH. ana that, ia cousidera ton Of
that contribution, they were promised that
The present Administration would carry
cut tie negotiation.
The deal was carried out. Against
general protest OF the press, the single
Government lien upon the whole Union
Pacific system was segregated, So that
the '-reolganization committee was al
lowed 10 purchase tl.e main line ana post
pcae the sale Of the Kansas Pacific Di,fs-
ioB: thus jeopardizing, II not wrecking the
natioual claim of $4,000 900 against the
Kansas Pacific. There is little If any
doubt that, il the appeal OF the Coates
syndicate 60 President Mckinley had been
Needed, aad the whole sale postponed ia
pecernber -. the entire amount Of the
Government lien upon the system would
have be,-n paid. As to that, We are certain

1t Comes from a very authentic source

tering McKinlcy's Cabinet@thIough sub

publcans Of Ohio were preparing 10 Shelve
him ut the next election for q United

candidate me would end his long md
honorable career by retirement into private
life through defeat. Such a closing of a
career that has been without equal in
the history Of this country was not pleasant
for Senator Sherman, and, believing the
statements made TO him. he accepted what
seemed to be the inevitable, and entered

A RECEIVER
For the WoolSOn Spice Company,
Asked by the Arbuckle StockhOld-
ers.--Declare the Sugar Trust Tried
to Break the Coffee Business.

Toledo, Ohio, January 13.-In their
petition for a receiver for the Woolson
Spice Company, the minority CAR
buc5le) stockholders make the re-
markable statement that finding the
coffee business to be making little or no
profit, they decided to enter into the
business of refining sugar and that for
such purpose they constructed a plant
in Brooklyn. The Sugar Trust, there
upon, entered into an arrangement to
purchase the Woolson Spice Company,
with the intention of destroying the
coffee business of the firm of Arbuckle
Bros. and also to effect a monopoly
of the sugar business.
The court is asked to require the
trust and the WOolson Spice directors
to pay into the Woolson Spice Com
pany's treasury any loss that may have
accrued by the recent cut in coffee.
New York, January 13.-President
Havemeyer, of the American Sugar
Refining Company, was questioned by
a representative of the Associated Press
to-day in regard to the reported appli-
cation of the Arbuckle interest for a
receiver of the Woolson Spice Com
pany. He said it was his belief that
a receiver would not be appointed.
Selling of the stock on the exchange
in the last hour was on the report of
the application.
