Framed the republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates.
Mr.. Aldrich, when introducing the
amended measure into the senate
claimed that his rates were generally
lower than those Of the house bill. The

one OF many exceptions. In it the SEN
ate rates are higher than those Of the
house and much higher than anything
ever before known.

THE NEW SUGAR SCANDAL.
Editorial Opinion of Legislation fos
Trusts.


Trusts.
Is the country to be afflicted with
second sugar scandal? Are the ''sen-
ators from Havemeyer" ex-officio men,
bers of the finance committee, and are
they to be permitted 70 dictate the inn
portant sugar schedule? = Chicago
Evening Post Qnd. Rep.).
The senate committees bill, wheth-
er designed to do SO or not. will give
become a law. For that reason the
country is bitterly opposed to the SEN
ate sugar schedule. and if the senate
will heed the voice of the people that
schedule will not be embraced in the
new tariff indianapolis Journal
(Rep.).
The storm over the sugar schedule Is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since its
report, instead of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
guise job, but, intricate as it is, it
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces very large differentia for the
benefit Of the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three mem
bers OF the senate specuated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed, and protited $4,000
by the transaction, is altogether too
serious to be treated by the senate
with contempt or Indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the sugar trust have ex-
erted in the framing of the new sugar
schedule has already created suspicious
as to the integrity of the trainers of the
bill. If the charge against the alleged
spectators shall not be investigated,
it will serve to strengthen, if not con-
firm, this uspicion.-Ph Philadelphia Bull

According to the protective theory the
imposition Of a tax on noncompeting
articles adds 50 their cos* to the con-
sGmer. This theory would be aptIy ex-
e1nplified in the proposed duties on
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. It is
estimated that the increased cost of
boots and shoes for one gear under the
proposed duty would amount TO $780,
100000. With free hides our manufac-
tnrers OF leather goods have been able
to build up a great export trade in foot
wear. AS Mr.. Blaine said when it was
proposed to put duty on hides in the
law of 1890: 1T will yield profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs
it" The interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
than the interests of butch
ers and western ranchmen.-Chicago

They Are Expensive, and the Lawyers De-
mand Big Fees and Retainers.
In England there are many fees to be
paid by the unhappy client of a lawyer
that are unknown here il America.
There is a retaining fec, which is a
guinea, and a half crown to the clerk,
besides the brief fee, which is more i'm
portant. Then there is the "refresher"
or the leader and the "refreshcrs" Of
the subordinate lawyers. In England
the leaders refreshment, which is due
after five hours, the brief fee being sup
posed to cover only the getting up of the
case, is 10 guineas, or a little over $50,
while $25 must be paid to the lesser
lawyers.
According to English etiquette, no
counsel can leave his circuit to plead in
another without q special retainer,
which, in most cases, cannot be less
than 800 guineas. This is probably to
discourage "~poaching."
A would be client once wrote to a
famous American lawyer, stating a case
for his opinion and inclosing d $50
note. The lawyer did not reply, where
upon the client wrote q necond letter
and received word from the lawyer that
he had read the case and formed an opin-
ion, but somehow it stuck in his throat.
The client took the hint and sent a 500
note, receiving the lawyers opinion by
the next mail.
Nobody does anything for nothing,
especially a lawyer. Lord Mansfield
was SO sensible Of this that on one occa-
sion, when he had attended to some legal
business for himself, he took some gum
cas- out Of his purse and put them in
his waistcoat pocket to give him the
necessary stimulus. Sir Anthony Ma
lone, an Irish attorney general, was SO
imprudent as to forget this fact and was
grievously punished for it, for he was
SO lnattentlve to some property Of his
that he lost $4,000 a year by it, and
in the future he required his clerk to
make abstract deeds of any property he
might buy and lay them before him,
with q fee Of 5 guineas, properly indoors
ed, which the clerk was to scrupulously
account for, after which Sir Anthony
made no more mistakes in regard to his
own property. Chicago News.

DRAFTING RULE OF THE LEAGUE.
The Proposed Change Not Adopted
Yet-Exchange of Players.

The Proposed Change Not Adopted
Yet-Exchange of Players.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1O.-The Ma
tional Base Ball League held a two-hours'
session this afternoon. The time was
wholly consumed in a general discussion
of the proposition of the minor leagues for
a modification of the drafting rule, which
had been favorably recommended to the
league by the board of arbitration. No
conclusion was reached, and the subject
will be again taken up on Friday morn
ing, to which time the meeting adjourned.
Tomorrow will be devoted to a carriage
drive through Paramount park and to gem
eral sightseeing, which is part of the en-
tertainment provided for the visitors by
Messrs Reach and Rogers of the Phila-
dephia club.
The magnates managers and other Wis
itors, including the newspaper correspond
ents, were given banquet at the Hotel
Bellevue tonight by the Philadelphia
club.
An exchange of players between St.
Louis and Philadelphia was settled this
morning. 1t is understood that the Phil
adephia club gave to st. Louis Pitcher
TAYLOR, Catcher Clements, Fielder Dowd,
and Lave" Cross for Catcher Douglass,
Pitcher Donahue and Short-stop Monte
Cross.
Another deal which will place Grady
and Hartman of the St. Louis club with
the New York Giants, is very likely to go
through. Messrs. Won der Abe and
Freedman had frequent conferences to-
day, but could not agree upon terms for
the transfer of the two men to New York.
Another deal on the carpet is an offer
of Cincinnati to exchange Dwyer Nc
Carthy and Miller with the Pittsburg club
Smith.
A deal was completed tonight by which
the Cincinnati club exchanges Rhines,
Schriver, Gray and Miller to Pittsburg for
Pitcher Hawley and Fielder Elmer Smith.
