Countervailing Duties of the
New Tariff Law.
Special to The Times-D Democrat.

MIA beet sugar growers are taking
considerable interestin the controversy
which has arisen between the govern
menJ and some of the foreign govern
ments as to what constitutes a bounty.
1t will be recalled that in these dis
patches some time ago The Times
Democrat called attention to the fact.
that the minister of tho kingdom Of
the Netherlands had had q conference
with the Secretary of the Treasury ne
to the nature of the bounty paid by
that government on sugars produced
in the Netherlands, and that he had
claimed. that these sugars should BE-
exempt from the countervalling duty
imposed upon them by the United
States custO ms officers. The Secretary
OF the Treasury, while accepting thu
protest of the Netherlands ministe !
upheld the customs officers and ordered
the collection of tue countervailins
duty to go on until such time as h
could look into the matter. He nov
has the subject under consideration
It would seem that the CalifOrnii
beet sugar producers are apprehensiv
that the decision of the Treasur,
Department will be adverse to tn
interests Of the beet sugar producer
of this country, for they have askedth
department to give them. permission t
be heard on the subject. The reques
came through Mr., Henry Oxnard
president of the American Beet Suga
Growers Association, now in California
who was to-day advised by telegrap
that his request will be granted, aDdt
name a date when it will be c~OnVenier
for him to appear before the depart
ment Tor a hearing.
The Louisiana cane sugar produces
have not so far communicated wit
the department on the subject, and
is not known here whether orr not the
desire to be heard. The effect Of tn
prospective hearing will further dels
the decision of the department in Il
matter, but meanwhile importers
sugar from the Netherlands and 9TH
countries in dispute will have to ps
the full countervailing duty impose
on those sugars under the new tar

ABOUT FROSI.

Bureau gave the following lntor-
nation in regard to frosts for the
benefit Of the readers Of the Times
Democrat:
"Frost is formed under the
same circumstances as dew, with the
exception of alowtemperature. When
the temperature of plants falls below
80 degrees the moisture of the air Is
condensed upon them in the solid
state, forming a layer of spongy ice.
Frost, therefore, is not, as many
believe, frozen dew, but the moisture
of the air deposited in solid form,
without having passed through the
LIQUID conditions. Frost, like dew, is
chiefly deposited upon those bodies
that radiate best, such rs plants and
the leaves OF vegetables, the deposits
being made principally upon those
parts turned towards the sky. Since
plants sometimes become cooled BY
radiation from IL degrees to Is dgreees
below the temperature Ofthesurround-
ing air, q frost may occur although a
thermometer a few feet above the
"
ground does not sink to 30 degrees,
During a clear and still night, when a
thermometer six feet above thegFound
sinks to SIS degtees,a very heavy frost
may be expected, anda sligh%tfrostmay
occur when the same Thermometer
sinks only to AZ degrees.
Whatever prevents the radiation OF
heat serves to check the formation Of
frost. During the coldnightsOf spring
plants which are sheltered by trees
are much less liable to be injured BY
frost than those whichar fully exposed
and a thin covering of straw vii
generally afford entire protection. 4
plant may even be covered by a thin
sheet of paper and be thus ~protectet
from frost. A garden may frequently
be saved from injury by kindllng
small fire which shall envclop tn
plants In a cloud Of smoke. FOgs ant
clouds protect vegetation fIom frost
and often prevent frost when tn
temperature would otherwise deman'
if. Plants are often killed by frosts j

are very simple for men who take hold of
them in the spirit which will undoubtedly
distinguish it. They relate almost wholly
to the mere raising of revenue sufficient
for the purpose of the government; and
the result of the election has removed all
uncertainty as to the method by which
the revenue will be obtained. 1t will be
raised, as it is raised now, by protective
tariff and by internal revenue taxation
and the purpose of the Mckinley admins
tration will be solely to produce the requi-
site result without disturbance to the bust
ness and industry of the Union, but rather
in way to encourage and stimulate them.
The question is altogether practical, and
Mr.. Mckinley is surrounded by advisers
who better represent the tone of conserva-
tive and sensible men of business than
those who have been about President for
a long time past. He is himself man of
practical sense, and not man welded to
a theory which he will follow stubbornly
because of mere pride of opinion. More
revenue is needed; it will be obtained as
it should be obtained, from the tariff chief
ly. When it is secured, the troubles of
the country, so far as they are produced
by the policy Of the government, will van
ish wholly. They have been due to the
u Unprecedented condition of a steady def
cheney in the government revenue, which
has necessitated a great increase in the
bonded debt, after long period, during
which its diminution had been vast and
uninterrupted. OF course, the conse-
quence was disastrous to our business and
industrial interests.-N. y. Sun.

TUESDAY, JANUARY IL, 1897.

OVER twenty-five years ago law was
passed-and we lhave never heard of its
repeal prohibiting corporal punishment
in schools. This law has been disregard
ed beyond doubt, but the offenders have
escaped punishment. There was change
in this respect last week, however, when
the principal of the Burlington schools
was arrested for whipping one of his
scholars. If the facts are as related an
example should be made of the teacher,
who in reality assaults child, at the
same time breaking law OF late years
we have not known much about the Bur
lington schools, but there was a time
when corporal punishment was inflicted
there with more zeal than judgment.
Many people claim that teachers should
be allowed to use the rod. 1t might work
in some cases. but it is dangerous privi-
lege to give to any man who is unable to
control his temper. Other modes of pun
ishment are successfully used all over the
state. Whatever the result of the present
case, it should have the effect of abolish
ing the rod not only in the Burlington
schools, but at all others. Teachers should
distinctly understand that they have no
more right to defy the laws of the state
than any other persons have. If they per-
sist in SO doing they should pay the pen

Vice Chancellor Stevens has granted
a temporary injunction restraining John
Moriarty, of Jersey City, from removing
in the Hudson County Catholic Cemetery.
The Injunction was granted on the appli-
cation of Nicholas Toppin, Moriarty's
father-in-law. Mrs Moriarty is buried in
his plot, and be says the body was placed
there at her dying request. Recently
Mr.. Toppin purchased another plot and
put up a monument at an expense of
50, 500. He wanted to remove his daugh-
ter's remains to the new plot, but Moriarty
objected and appealed to the cemetery
authorities. They recognized his claim
to control the disposition of the body and
refused Toppin permission to remove it.
Afterward, Moriarty purchased a plot,
and secured permission to have his
wife's body transferred to it, when Mr..
Toppin stepped in and appealed to the
Chancery Court.
The big safe in the Dime Saving bank
at Raritan was blown open by burglars
about o'clock on Wednesday morning.,
but the thieves were frightened away af-
ter getting only so cents from the out
side drawer The robbers first entered
a neighboring blacksmith shop and OBJ
tanned some tools, with which they ope-
rated, taking advantage of the darkness
which enveloped the town, because of
some defect in the electric light system.
The bank is located in the drug store of
John Davis. The burglars forced an en-
trance to the store. drilled hole in the
safe door and charged it with powder.
The explosion and flash awakened Mr..
Davis, who lives in the adjoining house.
He quickly gave the alarm and several
citizens hurried to the store. They found
the store in great disorder. The safe doors
were wrenched from their hinges and the
fire proof wadding was scattered over
everything The burglars were gone.
-Nine-year-old Edna Brown, of Vine
land, was examined by physicians Tues
day night and declared to be temporarily
deranged. She is accused of obtaining
goods under false pretenses and over a
score of merchants and prominent people
of the town have been taken in" by the
tots politeness and affected innocence.
The girl is exceedingly shrewd in her
work, which dates back to last summer,
when she was forced by Rev. Mr.. Avery
to return bicycle which she had taken
from his yard. Her method was to ex-
plain to merchants that she had been sent
by certain well-known persons who
wished the bill charged against them. In
almost every instance the clerks handed
the goods to the little girl, who was pro-
fuse in her thanks. Some of the articles
she took home. but most of them she gave
to her little friends.
