The United States sugar trade
is indeed an important one and
there are very substantial reasons
why it should take so prominent
a place in economic legislation.
Within the last thirty years the per
capita use of sugar has more than
doubled in the United States. Thus
in 1868 it was 81 pounds per head,
and in 1897 it promises to be &c
pounds per head, while the trade
handled in 1869 1929, 32o, 25o
pounds of sugar and will this year
handle 5000, 900, 900 pounds.
Turning that into dollars at present
market rates it means the handling
of something like 1874, 900, 900.
The imports for May, of this year,
were nearly 500, 900, 900 pounds or
about one-ffth of the annual con-
sumption and in April 1872. 594, 74o
pounds or double of the imports in
the same month of 1896. Brad
streets forecasts that the movement
for the entire fiscal year of 1897
promises to be the largest ever
recorded"

the strain of her two colonial wars.
The Cuban war is roughly estimat-
ed to have cost S225, 600, 900 up to
the present. The Philippine war
cost W, 900, 900 per month. But
that is not all the story. In both.
besides the actual cost of military
operations there has been enormous
loss of revenue in both places, and
terrible destruction of property.
Though no island as fertile as
Cuba can be absolutely ruined, it
can be set back for years, and it has
been so set back. From the fore
most position as an exporter Of su
gar to the United States it has sunk
to practically a nonentity and it
will soon be in the position of not
raising enough for its own consump-
ton.
How the strain can be kept up
by Spain is difficult to conceive.
Her debt must be close on to a
couple of billions of dollars and her
credit is almost exhausted and still
she keeps up miserable struggle.
During the last two years also she
has lost, in Cuba alone. $4,000
men. What the Cuban loss has
been goodness only knows, What
picture of ruin and devastation
does Spanish rule show from the
moment it put its foot upon the
Western continent to the present
time. And what a contrast do
Anglo-Saxon institutions exhibit,
with their life-giviug and healthy
methods developing and raising the
country they are established in.

The grand jury found true bill against
her, and the defense appeared in court,
compelling the prosecuting attorney to
go to trial. This he could not do, SO he
recommended that tho indictment be
quashed, which was done, and the wo-
man told to take advantage of her free
dom. but she asked to be allowed to re-
main, preferring the cell to freedom.

Young Arthur Clarence Holdan OF
Newark, n. j., has made several bids
for notoriety. The last one occurred re-
Gently nearly at midnight in the Trilby
Con cert hall, when he interrupted u
soubrette who was singing by rising
and swallowing the contents of bottle
and following it with q package OF
white powder.
A physician found that Holdan s
throat was irritated by the POWDER the
character Of which could not be de-
termined, and Holdan was sent to the
City hospital.
Holdan. who calls himself Clarence
Holdan, is % years old and lives with
his mother. He is an acrobat and says
that he is circus performer. A few
weeks ago he notified several newspa-
pers in New York that he had fallen
from trapezc in Tony Pastors theateI
and was lying unconscious and badly
injured in Bellevue hospital. On in.
quiry ii was learned that Holdan had
not been hurt there, and at Bellevue
no such patient could be found.
A few months ago Holdan tried, OF
pretended to try, to swallow carbolic
acid in front of department store in
Newark and was locked up at police
headquarters, where he made several
alleged attempts at self destruction.
At the hospital it was said that Hol-
dan had swallowed laudanum, but was
in no danger and would be discharged.

Length Of the Extra Session.

Senator Roach of North Dakota tells
this story about the length of the extra
session:
Some three or four weeks ago, "
said he, II was out dining one night,
when the lady next to me asked mo how
long l thought congress would be in
session.
"'Oh, ! don't know, I replied in an
uncertain way.
The reason / asked you, said she,
is because I was at dinner with Sena-
tor Hanna the other night, and he said
congress would be away from here by
she LIST Of June
Madam, said I, looking around at
her and speaking with some delibera-
tion, Senator Hanna may know IL all,
but, 20 far as I am concerned, have
taken my house for all summer.
And it begins to appear as IL Senator
Roach appreciated what was to come.

pleasure or success of the parade
 until the arrival of Kastor & Bluth-
 enthals float at the corner of Main
 and Second, when the large obeisk,
 nearly 25 feet high, became entan
 gled in the telephone wires, break ing the wires and frightening the
 horses, which for time became
 unmanagabie and'started up West Second avenue at a preeipitoas rate of speed. At the corner of Second
 and Pine the large obelisk again became entangledEin the wires over head and was precipitated to the ground, almost demolishing the float. The horses ran for some dis
 tance, but were finally gotton under control, and the float, considerably
 dilapidated, was sdriven back into the procession. No one was badly
 hurt, but how il ali could occur on crowded streets without someone
 being seriously injured, is almost
 inscrutable. The accident was a severe loss and disappointment to Kastor X Bluthenthal, as their float
 was one of the prettiest in the procession.
 The exercises at the rark were equally as interesting as the parade. Speeches were made by Gov. Dan ". Jones, Hon. S. NJ. Taylor, Mr
 A. B. Garretson, Mr. T. R. Dodge,
 Mr. Chas ". Maier, H. L. Remmel, and Col. s. ". Fordyee, to an eager and listening multitude.
 The celebration concluded with I
 grand ball at the park at night.
