At last til northern journals are
assailing that stupendous fraud, the
pension roll. They are both asham-
ed and alarmed at the constantly
increasing results of the war. If
the southern veterans could increase
their rolls in the same ratio as have
the Federal soldiers, future historians
would conclude that the records of
the civil war were a of bonn
bastes furioso and the imaglnings of
diseased, if not prolific brains. A
pensloner is getting to be little bet
ter than q beggar vagrant dependent
on the government for his susten-
ance, and without the least talnt of
a war record or the faiutest perfume
of gunpowder about his clothes or
person.-Shreveport Times.

CONTEMPLATING DUTY.
SUGAR PRopUcERs SUSTAINED.


A Washington special to the Times
Democrat under date of the 2Dd inst.
SAYS:
"As it has beeen represented to the
Treasury Department that the excise
duty levied on Netherland sugars
depends upon the amount of sugars
produced in that cuuntry, the Secreta-
ny of the Treasury to day addressed q
communication to the collector of
customs ut New York notifying hin, to
adhere to the instructions contained
in the department circular, No 152, Of
Sept. %, until the information desired
by the department can be had. The
circular referred to directs the leyying
Of countervaiIing duties on raw aud
refined sugars equal to the so called
discounts or premiums allowed on SUI
| CARS imported from on the product OF
tile Netherlands. While the decision
S therefore, testative. it practically
sustains the sugar producers Of this
country in their contention that the
premiums accorded to Netherland
sugar producers were in the nature of
u bounty, and that the bonus should
be offset on this side of the water with
a countervailing duty. The amount
Of the countervailing duty will, how
ever, depend upon the quantity Of
sugar produced i'll the Netherlands, if
it be true, as alleged, that the excise
tag is proportionate to the production.
Meanwhile, however. aud until this
information is bad, tile rate named in
the cItcuiar above referred to will
obtain.
Under tie decision all sugars from
the Netherlands entering the United
States is subject to a discrimination

The exact tate of tins co~untervailing
duty has not vet been definitely as
certained hutit is said it will approach
As cents per 100 pounds on raw sugar
and q slight advance on these figures
on refined.
II is know that the Secretary has
almost come to the conclusion that the
Belgian government pays an export

this effect may be expected in a slior'
time.
The additional duties will apply
from Sept. % last. the date Of the
circular %instructing collectors to sus'

Ex-Congressman Paul Sorg, of Ohio
who passed through Washington this
week on his way to New York, is
enthusiastic over the democratic out
look. He says the party is in C
healthier condition than it has been
for sometime, and that there is Il
greater desire for harmony prevailing
inside the party. He expressed the
opinion that by 1900, all friction and
tends within the party will have van
isled, and that in the national cleo
ton Of that year, the democratic par
ty will triumph. Mr.. Sorg declined
to express any opinion for publication
about tho Hanna Foraker scrap. in
Ohio. although it was inierled from
his ann that he thought Hanna
would win. That is the prevailing
opinion among Ohio democrats in
Washington. They also believe that
| Hanna's success will sonnd the death
kueii Of republican rule in Ohio.

Foraker is much the same sort of

Foraker is much the same sort of
a Republican as Mckinley, except
that he has more courage and is not
SO much Of a hypocrite. Foraker is
the keener, more active, more openly
vindietiye. Probably neither OF
them has any clear opinion as TO the
merits Of any question before the
country or cares to have. This IS
unquestionably true Of Mckinley,
who regards every public question
and interest from the party stand
point. But both Foraker and Nc
Kinley are ~self-seekers first, partisans
second and patriots last. Mckinley
is more solemn about it, having a
strong infusion Of Pecksniff in his
mental and moral composition

In most countries popular Filters

In most countries popular illitera-
cv is regarded as an evil, but IN
Germany, at least by the 'ruling
classes" the reverse is true. Serious
alarm is now expressed at the extent
to which the people are becoming
educated, especially at the increasing
numbers of those who are getting
university education. Accordingly
the proposed new University at
Dantzig has been abandoned and
measures for discouraging attendance
at universities are actually under
consideration. 4 unlversity-bred pro-
letariat is a startling thing to con-
template, and Germany shrinks from
the responsibility Of being the first
to deal with it.--New York Tribune,
