WEDNESDAY, FEB. II, 1897.

The editor OF the clinton Democrat
must have been asleep for the past three
or four years. In leading editorial on
the "Sugar Trust he rails at the 'far-
effect charges this protection to tho Re
publican party.
Under the Mckinley tariff, sugar was
admitted free OF duty, because it was
found that several years OF protection had
failed to increase the production of sugar
in this country to any appieciable extent.
by taking off the duty 10 this instance the
families of the working people were saw
ed tax OF about cents per pound, and
the country al large the enormous sum of
1926, 969 7s7 from $50 until the Wilson
bill became operative. AS soon as the
Democratic party got in power the viii
son bill was passed, putting q duty on
manufactured sugar OF 1872 per cent, so
that now under Democratic tariff
nearly one.third OF what people pay for
their sugar goes for tariff duties. The
policy Of the Republican party has been
and is to put the tariff on goods coming
in contact with home manufactures, and
on articles of luxury, and not on articles
Of necessity that 1t is necessary to import
and that cannot be produced In this
country.
The Clinton Democrat defended the
Wilson tariff bill when 1t was enacted,
and ought not to throw dust in the eyes
of its readers by endeavoring to create the
impression that the "Sugar Trust" was
helped by the Republican party. 1t is
known by every intelligent man that the
"Sugar Trust dictated tho tariff on sugar
in the Wilson bill, and that one OF New
Jerseys distinguished Democratic sena-
tors bought sugar stock In anticipation
OF the change that he foreknew was TO be
made.

The bill before the legislature to
change the time OF holding the city cleo
tions in Newark and jersey City from the
Spring to the Fall, is one that should be
set down on HARD. II is a scheme to ex-
tend the time OF Republican officials under
the guise Of economy. II is claimed that
the holding of the municipal elections at
the same time the Fall election is held will
save several thousand dollars to these
cities. Perhaps it will, aud perhaps it
will not Experience has shown that
when dsassociated from hot partisan
campaign, better municipal officers are
likely to be selected, because in local
election people pay more attention TO the
personal fitness OF the candidates. The
lobbyists Who are urging the bill show
pretty clearly the amount of interest for
the people that is behind the measure.

skirts. The dude with the mustache was
especially noticeable and drank her beer
like man at the bar.
By o'clock nearly all the respectable
women had taken their departure and a
majority of those remaining became
badly befuddled with beer. Many kept
masked, however. and drank their beer
on the side. One stout female, robed as
priest, with large white cross on her
back. became quite hilarious, which GER
tainly was not creditable to her sex or
the character she represented. A little
woman in black with a red mask became
sentimental and silly to marked de-
gree. A grass widow" from Pomona
was influenced by beer to pour her tale
of woe into every strangers ear There
were others who drank frequently at the
bar or in the waiting room with no ap-
parent effect except slight exhilaration
of spirits. These women never missed
a dance. There was also some senti-
mental byplay not down on the program,
but the reporter did not "look behind the
scenes.''
Many of the male maskers became
heavily loaded with beer, although no
row or disturbance occurred, owing,

but good order was maintained, and the.
evil had been reduced to a minimum by
removing all the doors and curtains

than this. the crowds were kept on the
move. and anything in the nature of a
row was quickly and unceremoniously
suppressed. and the offending parties
hustled out into the streets In fact.
1t looked as though the pledges Of the
Fiesta committee and the municipal
authorities would be entirely carried
out In good faith. But they were not.
Absolutely no attention whatever was
paid to the municipal ordinances, and
the city was run as wide open" as
frontier mining camp from midnight un-
til daylight yesterday morning. when
the revelers were compelled to desist and
retire to their homes from sheer physical
exhaustion.
1t was not expected that any attempt
would be made to enforce the anti
masking ordinance, as this was con-
ceded to be physical impossibuity,
but 1t was at least expected that the

offenses against public decency. 1t had
been understood that the sale of liquors
at these places would cease at midnight
and that the bars would close. But this
was not done. and as the crowds became
drunken they became more boisterous
and belligerent, and fights were numer-
Gus, though no one was seriously hurt.
At Turnverein hall the management
was as good as could be expected, with
the exception of selling liquor after mid
night. Up to that time there had been
ne disorder, and, barring the fact that
drunken man had fallen asleep while
sitting in second-story window and
fell out backward. sustaining fatal in
juries. nothing occurred to mar the
festivities" Later, however, as the beer
began to work, the fighting spirit was
developed, and numerous "mix-ups'l
relieved the monotony. Sometimes the
rows were started by women and some
times by men, but in either instance the
participants were unceremoniously
thrown out and hustled down the steps.
AS whole, the affair was neither bet
ter nor worse than the average masked
ball, but It could have been improved
by curtailing the liquor supply.
SCENES AT THE BOWERY BALL
Many people wear a mask in every day
life to conceal their real character, and
this rule Is literally exemplified at pub
lie masked balls where every one is ad-
mitted who desires to purchase a ticket.
The Bowery ball at Music hall Saturday
night was no exception in fact the rule
was applied in a double sense to conceal
the identity of respectable ladies and
those of the demi-monde or half-world.
One woman while dancing sprained her
ankle so severely that doctor was sent
for and upon being requested to remove
her mask or give her name and address
she refused to do so. There were seven
women dressed in male attire, repre-
senting different characters, and their
actions were lively. If awkward. They

filled. The crowd, perhaps. would not
do credit to the event at Hazards pa
vilion last Tuesday evening, but they
had "the price" and after all that was
the main consideration. Beer, whisky
and champagne flowed plentifully, and
the maskers were merry.
The 11:3O order for the casting off Of
masks was apparently regarded as a
bluff" and it was long after o'clock
before the front doors were locked. OF
course the crowd after midnight was
not composed of the elite of the city.
The men-about-town, with their female
friends were the best patrons of the
saloons, and right lively crowd 1t was.

If the celebration Of "All Fools Night"
had closed at midnight, as It should
have done, It would have been far bet
ter for the good name Of the city, and
there would have been far less oppo-
sition to this feature OF the Fiesta In the
future by those who are conscientiously
opposed to 1t than has been manifested
in the past. But it did not. and the re-
suit will be that when the matter is
agitated again the opposition will be
largely increased, not diminished.
AS was stated in The Herald yester-
day morning, up to midnight there
was but little ground for criticism. The
crowds were orderly. the maskers were

Further down the street at the Au-
heuser Busch saloon was an enthusi-
astic throng of maskers. The rear rooms
were packed till nearly daylight, and the
front doors were wide open to all COM
ers. One policeman on Spring street,
when questioned as to the closing or
der said. well, the city gives the peo-
pie right to act like fools, SO
what are the police to do?"
SIDE SHOW FAKES
There have been one or two fake side
shows in the city for some time, but their
number was increased during the Fiesta
and they did thriving business with
visitors from the country. Although
many felt "sold." they were careful not
to give it away" and the dimes contin-
ued to roll in.
AT 319 South Main street the gigantic
wild man, Nan Wah," and the SNAKE
charmer," were represented by life-size
colored pictures on the outside. "The
largest den of snakes in the world" was
also advertised upon entering. A very
ordinary looking man was seen, the only
wild feature known about him being
the time when his San Francisco girl de-
serted him in Los Angeles a short
