James Wick, in regard to the situation
in Lincoln says:
About Lincoln being a candidate for

taken. Lincoln will not pay one cent

on the part of a few men to push Lin

ers. There are no enthusiasts here,
and believe it is safe to say that Lin
coin will be content with staying out
and satisfying itself as it did last

BETTER CONFIRM HIM.

There is this TO be said about the con-
for United States District Attorney, Mr.
Henry Z Davis; if an attempt is ever to
be made Ia bring the boiling gold Demo
crats,' so-called, back into party COM
munion, why not take a step III that di.
rection now by confirming Mr.. Davis?
President Cleveland will certainly not
appoint another kind of Democrat for
he isn't built that way. He has never
doubted that he was right in any position
he has ever taken, and his method of
converting an opponent is not to attempt
TO convince him OF the error OF his ways,
but to club him into insensibiIity-so to
speak.
If Mr.. Davis isn't confirmed, therefore,
some gold Republican will be, and not
even the n ost stalwart Of our silver Dem
good in Davis. In the first place, he was
torn and raised a Democrat; and, in the
cond place, he was always an active
one until he started out prospecting for
the District Attorneyship. Does anybody
imagine he would have been nominated If
he hadn't made himself conspicuous aeanst
Bryan and the regular Democratic ticket?
Certainly rot Mr.. Cleveland had a
chance to make Mr.. Davis District Judge,
or Court of Appeals Judge, and ignored
10th. IL was only when Davis had done
something that incensed ninety-nine out
of every hundred honest District Demo
Gratis against him that he commended him
self to Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr. Davis was cute enough TO know how
to play the Presidential prejudices, and
now, If he can obtain a continuation he
can bank his winnings. We never have
imagined that he cared rupee for the
financial question. His attack on the bi-
metallic policy OF the national platform
was lamentably weak, a might have been
expected, for he knew nothing about the
question. So far as the mischief he did
| is isConcerned, he may be excused.
There is a heap OF good Dem ocratic
material in Mr.. Davis, and, IL he is not
forced TO remain in the Republican party
by destruction OF the bridges over which
he can come back home, he VIII be all
right long before 1900. We sympathize
very deeply with the sentiments of those
Titans of the faith, brother Norris and
brother Kalbfus, and willingly admit the
truth and pertinency OF much that they
have to offer; but looking the field and Mr..
Davis carefully over, we are free to con-
| fess that If we had vote we should cast
| wholly irredeemable brother.

The new administration seems to be n

Perry Heath and Dom Jack Goudy Cloudy

Durbin, another big Hoosier politician,

used 10 picturesque descriptive writing,
he could, nevertheless, describe the Moulin

1t is reassuring, in the midst OF this real

what they know, and also as to what Mr.
Mckinley has told them and promised,
to know that Col. Heath may be minister

to be submitted to the arbtrament OF

Beresford who was Mrs Hamersley, and

SUGAR AND COFFEE.

With the struggle now going on between
the sugar trust and the Arbuckle coffee com
bination as such the public has little i'm
mediate concern. With the admissions
Of the Havemeyers, before the Lexow
committee in New York, in connection
with that fight, 1t is different Among
those admissions may be noted Cne by the
president Of the Sugar trust, that his con-
Germ controls so per cent OF the sugar
output of the United States. The same
gentleman admitted that the trust had for
IL per cent on S37, 100000 of common
stock, and Z per cent on preferred stock.
He also admitted that the trust was in
corporated in New Jersey instead OF New
York, because in the former there is less
scrutiny, examination and investigation OF
corporate acts than in the latter, where
strict supervision is applied and individual
stockholders ale protected to some ex.
tent The vice president Of the trust
ing in a business which did not pay at
least 16 per cent profit, but We knew
that before.
The fight between the Havemeyers and
the Arbuckles is interesting and suggestive
The latter, being great coffee dealers,
have gone into sugar refining sin which
their opponents, being great sugar pro-
ducers and dealers, punish by going into
the coffee business. 1t means that any
body who dares to infringe the right of
the Havemeyers to dictate the price of
sugar and to control its output will he
adapted to the purpose.
1t is not q question of sympathy with
the Arbuckles, who, according to their
lights, are monopolistic enough. 1t is
question of public policy and public
patience, whether or not the Havemeyers
are to be allowed to corner one Of the
prime necessities of civilized life, and
only allow the American people to secure
and enjoy it upon terms and conditions,
and I'm quantities to be dictated by these
trust magnates. There is a law in the
