A Case in Point

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Her
aid: Mr.. Abbot Kinney's article on
Rebates" in today's Herald, reminded
me Of an item which appeared on Feb
ruary goth in the Manchester City News.
Presuming 1t might interest your read
ers, give an extract as follows:
An excellent quality of sugar can be
bought retail in this country at three half
pence a pound, and owing to its low price
jam can be produced and sold retail at from
fourpence to sixpence a pound. This ex-
traordnary cheapness is owing to the self
denying action of Germans and French
men who tax themselves heavily in order
to pay a bounty on exports of sugar to
this country. 1t is said that sugar cannot
be produced in those countries to sell at

| In his veins the same blood as all the
other royalties of Europe, and they can
every one trace their lineage back in
streams more or less direct to the old rob-
ber viking Rollo, who came down from
about the same latitude where King
George was born. But as to Prince Con-
stantine's ability to lead an army or do
any other manly service of any kind to
the world knows absolutely nothing. In
view of the campaign at Larissa we are
not likely to learn much in that line.
No wonder the Greeks are disposed
to depose their foreign-born. unpatriotic
king and repudiate their incompetent
and cowardly commander.
And there Is another underlying
reason for royal sympathy with
Turkey. With popular government a
fact in France, and with progressive
Greece under republican rule, the king
business in Europe would not be so safe
in the future as In the past.
Under partially regenerated Greece
since Byron's time Athens has risen from
a wretched Turkish village full OF low
bred dogs and reeking with dirt, to
modern city of quarter of million in
habitants. With Greece under a repub-

The Japanese legation at Washington

The Japanese legation at Washington
furnishes reassuring statements con-
cerning the designs of Japan toward
Hawaii, and no objection can properly
be raised against Japan's maintaining 6
a warship in Hawaiian waters, but In

The Herald's special telegraphic cor
respondent at Washington outlines an
interesting state of affairs as regards
the tariff bill soon to be reported by the
committee of finance. An effort has been
made to keep the Democratic members
of the committee in the dark as to the
proposed amendments to the bill, but
as Senator Jones of Nevada holds the
balance of power and proposes to CO.
operate with Senator White and the
other Democratic members, it is pretty
certain that the bill will be hung up
until the mysteries are all made plain.
The Republican way on this measure
seems to be way of darkness and du-
biousness.

Some time ago certain ladies connect

conceived the idea of planting memorial
groves, to be dedicated to the memory
of those who died for the union. The
trees for these groves are selected from
the famous backgrounds and are each
given a name calculated to inspire pat
riotic thoughts. A grove will be planted
in Sacramento tomorrow with appro-
pirate ceremonies under the auspices
of the Grand Army. The idea is splen-
did one, and it should be taken up in
practical manner in every city and town
in the country. That in planting trees
the seeds Of patriotism are nourished
is grateful thought to every true

There is considerable trouble at present
among the Councilmen at Maizeville. 1t
appears that the contract for the new borough
building had been awarded to Adolf Timm,
Of Mahauoy City. Timm's bond not being
iron-clad his contract was withdrawn and
awarded to William Glenn, of town. Later
on the majority of the building committee
convened and awarded the contract to Snyder
& Maurer, Of Ashland on the ground that
the Glenn contract was illegal, because it was
decided at special meeting not called for
that purpose The bid of Snyder & Maurer
is $215 less than Glenn's The latter has
begun work on the erection of the building
and the committee now threatens to issue an
injunction against its construction.
