THE STREET vs.. THE EDITOR.

This schedule is by no means so salts
factory to the trust as that of the senate
bill, and it is a distinct abandonment Of
the protective policy so far as sugar is con-
cerned, but there will be no signs Of public
mourning on that account, since the chief
benefciaries of a high duty would be the
sugar trust.-Pioneer Press, July 20.
That from the editorial column of
our contemporary. This from it's mar
ket column of the same date:
Sugar scored an extreme advance for the
day of 1913, touching IA, then breaking
previous high record prices. At the opening
5000 shares were sold at from 1856 to 1879. Ire
mendous blocks of the stock changed hands
at almost uniformly rising prices. Six thou
sand shares were taken by a brokerage house
reputed to represent a most powerful interest
which is credited with having recently ac-
quired large quantities of that security. The
argument that the new sugar schedule would
result in some increase in protection over
that provided in the present law stimulated
extensive covering on the part of the shorts.
In the closing hours the stock eased off a
trifie, reaching 24 below the best, but loaned
at a per cent premium for use over night.
Sugar preferrd also had shown an extreme
gain for the day of s per cent, two points
of which was later lost.
The street. which eschews senti-
ment, takes no stock in what partisans
allege in eX%tenuation Of their party's
acts, knows what legislation puts
values into stocks and VIA takes it
out, is better posted on the effects of
"~differentials,' estimates at its proper
value the famous victory Of the
house over the sugar trust, and, in its
eagerness to buy sugar stocks at ad-
vancing prices, shows hat it disa-
| grees with our contemporary and &C
cepts the sugar schedule as a distinct
ratification "of the protective policy so
far as sugar is concerned" OF these
two experts. the judgment Of the lat
ter will be generally accepted as that
of one that knows best what it talks
Of. At least, the Minneapolis Tribune,
either more frank or less astute than
it's fellow Republican, is Of that opin-
ion. 1t says: THE sugar trust has Sc
cured an advantage in the new tariff
bill in the duty on refined sugars, and
it's profits promise to be enhanced
hence sugar stock is booming" The
country will hardly be fooled with any
talk about the abandonment of the
protection" Of sugar.. .:.-t .-

JOHN LALLY MAY DIE.
Knocked Down by a Horse, said t.

Knocked Down by 81 Horse, Said to
Be Unmanageable.
John Lally, an aged street sweeper,
living at 872 Randolph street, is lying
in a critical condition at the city hos
pital as the result Of injuries received
at Sixth and Cedar street yesterday
morning through being run down by
an Express wagon driven by T. H. Nc
Carthy. The injured man lapsed into
a state of Inconsistencies shortly after
noon, and it is thought by the physi-
clans at the hospital that he is doubt
less fatally hurt. Mccarthy is under
arrest OF the charge of reckless driving.
The accident occurred a few minutes
before Z o'clock, while Mccarthy was
driving to the express stand at Cedar
and Sixth street. He claims the snap
of his wagon broke in descending the
Sixth street hill, allowing the vehicle
to run toward upon the heels of his
horse. The animal, Mccarthy avs,
then became unmanagable and al
down the hill. Lally was in the street
near the Cedar street corner and Nc
Carthy say he called to the old man
to get out of the way, when he realized
that he was in danger. Lally stepped
on the curbstone. according to Nc
Carthy, but instead of seeking safety
at the inner edge of the. sidewalk. at
tempted to stop the horse by thruSting
a broom in the animals face, when the
horse swerved toward the old man,
knocking him will great force to the
pavement. After a short run on Cedar
street, Mccarthy succeeded in bringing
his horse to a stop, when Officer Perro
placed him under arrest.
Notwithstanding McCarthy's state
ment Of the occurrence, some witnesses
censured him for alleged carelessness.
claiming he had driven recklessly down
the hill.
The injured man was taken to the
city hospital in the central patrol
wagon and an examination showed
some bad bruises about the body and
several scratches on the face, but it
was not thought at the time that he
was seriously injured. He talked lit
tie about the accident and ate a portion
of his dinner, when he suddenly fell into
insensibility, the cause of which the
physicians were unabl to definitely de-
termine, though it is thought that he
was seized with an internal hemorhage.
When the serious nature of the acct
lent was made known to the police
department, the county attorneys office
deputized Attorney Pinch to visit the
hospital for the purpose of taking Lal-
ly's -ante-mortem statement but the
old man was in such a condition as to
render such proceedings impossible.

felt the influence of the disaster that
has overtaken the fiockmasters of Aus
tralia and especially Of New South
Wales. We find no mention Of this ma
terial price fact among the wool items
of our contemporary, but it Is a neces-
sary one to have in estimating the
causes Of the advance. New South
Wales has one-third more sheep than
this country possesses, some $4,000, 900
to our about 40, 600, 900. The drouth that
mas prevailed there for some months
has destroyed nearly half of all these
sheep, conservative estimates, accord
ing to the report of our consul at sgd
ney. placing the loss at %, 1000, 900 head.
This is nearly three times the loss by
the drouth of 1895, from which the in
dustry had not fully recovered when
this fresh disaster came. The loss is
said to be equal to one-fifth Of the
entire number of the finest wool sheep
on the globe. Any estimate of the
causes of the present price and future
course of wool hat does not take this
into account, but rests solely upon the
making or unmaking of tariff taxes,
would be as reliable as an estimate
upon the cheese market should the
moon be really found to be made Of
cheese.

trusts profits. 1t means that the arti-
san, the day laborer, pays, in proper
ton to his family's consumption of
sugar, exactly as much as the wealth.
lest man in the land pay for the sup
port of the federal government. 1t
means that the homeless and landless
man thus pays a federal tax, while the
largest l~andholder in the country pays
nothing from all his wealth towards
that support. 1t means that a famous
victory vas won in a taxing policy that
takes a mixed tribute and bonus from
all on what they eat and wear, the
coal that warns them, the material Of
the building that shelters them, the
glass that lets sunlight into it, while
not a foot of land nor any structure
on it nor the property in it pays a
penny of federal tax. No wonder An
drew Carnegie said hat so many mil
~lionaires were possible in the United
States because a majority of their vot-
ers were economic fools; no wonder
that a representative Of little Costa
Rica should tell us that this country

yet, lit was a famous victory"

He suggested limitations which should
pply to the exhibit of hogs at the COM
ing state fair, which, he thought, if
acted upon, would help rather than in
Jure the usual excellent display, for,
unless stringent rules were laid down,
men owning pure-bred hogs would be
dlfiident about sending them to Ham
line.
DR.. M. H. Reynolds read a letter
from Attorney General Childs, sent
in response to his request for an opin-
ion as to the power of the state board
to suppress hog cholera. In this letter
the attorney general expresses the
opinion that the board could not entire
ly prohibit the shipment of hogs from
the section Of the state classed as in
fected, but might prevent shipments
from points where the disease actually
existed.

Orr, Judge Twohy heard the case and
IN passing sentence stated firmly that
alleged swindlers against whom cases
could, IN the future, be proved, might
expect the highest penalty which was
IN the power of the police magistrate
to inf1ict. Said he:
THE big nit and swindling tricks
which have lately been so successfully
worked upon unsuspecting visitors to
the city L consider among the most
despicable methods of so-called con-
fidence men, as the victims are as a
rule poo and are deprived of the
last penny they possess, because of
a too confiding nature. Those practic-
ing these receptions cannot be dealt
with too severely upon conviction and
the maximum sentence within the
power of this court is too lenient a
punishment"

Although hog cholera is not and prob

Thirty counties in. Minnesota were In

the territory being very bad, and he
urged that aS,pla4 be adopted which
would include the following points:
That hogs be not shipped either mi
or out from infected districts except
in crates and wen then not in regular
stock cars; that the cars used should
be closed at the bottom to prevent
droppings by the way, which would
spread the contagion; that railroads
should not ship any stock which had
not a clean bill of health before being
loaded into the cars, and that 10 hogs
be exhibited at any fairs which were
shipped in crates on cars other than
stock cars. Finally be suggested that
