The dimerenti,l OF tho House bill appears here to
ne only j cents when in fact 1t is about l2j cents
Tho difference arises from the allowance Of lbs
pounds of ee-dcgree sugar required on the aver
age to yield 100 pounds hard refined. whereas tho
Treasury regulation allows only 1914 pounds. On
this basis the House dnferentiai would be about
l25 cents. and the differeniiai under tho present
law and under the proposed Senate schedule would
be correspondingiy increased. Appraiser Bum re-
marks in his report that the selection of any one
grade OF 96deg-ee sugars, in order 10 ascertain tn,
diRerential would be misleading. This is because
the Treasury estimate Of 1014 pounds of 96-degrea
sugar. as requi:od yield 100 pounds refined. is
based on the average OF all fG-dcgrce sugars. the
lowest OF which, like Javas. had a dutlib!e value
Of only 195 cents pound IN March. while Cubas
had dutiabe value of 20 cents a pound 1t re-
CURED less than l05 pounds Of Cu5as to yield 100
pounds roined. The true point OF comparison Is
the average Of g5-degree centrifugal sugars which
in March about 81 cents q pound
Again, 1t is misleading 10 compare the duties on
raw sugars Win th2s" on such poor refined as

tiCay compete with American refined sugars be-
cause the former are Of a yellow color, and Of

American refined sugars. and SO tho comparison

THE principal reason why Senator Hill
blames the Democracy for going over to
Populism in 1896 is because that flop brought
defeat This attitude Of the Senator is made
plain by a careful reading Of his magazine
article ON THE Future of the Democratic
Organization" The treason to principal
which that surrender involved was of no
consequence in its moral aspect, but as that
surrender defeated the party, it was worse
than a crime, it was a blundor. That there
is such a thing as morality in politics the
Senator does not believe He gives his party
excellent advice about the necessity of
cutting loose from the Populists if it desires
to win any victories in the future. But he
does not do this because of any belief that
silverism and greenbackism are economically
vicious. In fact, nobody can tell whether he
has any such belief. He does it because he
knows the majority of the people are against
these follies, and because any party which
advocates them is sure to be beaten.

HOW TO Find OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass with
urine and let it stand tweuty-rour hours
sediment or settling indicates "a diseased con.
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains

trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out Of order.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmers swamp Root,

comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
tmordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized 1t stands the highest orits wonder

a VIGOROUS attempt was mado at Tuesdays
election to secure places ON several of the
Boards OF School Directors for ladies', but
success resulted in only few cases. Ladies'
are not popular with the politicians, not hav-
ing been trained in the kind Of work in which
So many School Directors engage If dis
posed that way they would no doubt prove
themselves the equals of any of the male
persuasion, and would manifest zeal and
spirit of investigation that would prove very
inconvenieut at times. The few women School
Directors in Phihdelphil already in Office
have proved themselves faithful to duty and
efficient in the performance, being willing to
give more attention to the schools, and
generally having more time to devote in that
direction in the day time 1t is not likely
the number of women School Directors will
be largely increased in the near future unless
the right Of suffrage is conferred upon them,

axe 40 cents and 10 cents. Coke is ad-
vanced from Is to 20 per cent, ad

standing that the new bill viii return

TIE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The immigration bill has passed the Senate
and now awaits the signature Of President
Cleveland to become law.
The provisions Of the bill are worry string
emit and will no doubt have a marked effect
upon immigration in the future. The tests
of eligibility are several, and will attract a
large amount of attention here and abroad.
The restrictions, briefly stated, are as follows ::
All physically capable persons Of 16 years
and upwards, who cannot read and write the
English or some other language, cannot enter,
but one not thus able to read who has at
tanned the age Of 80 OF upwards, and is the
parent or grandparent Of a qualified im-
migrant of over p years, and capable of
supporting such parent, may be admitted to
Join the family Of a child or grandchild
similarly qualified, and a wife or minor
child not able to read or write may accom-
pauy the husband OF parent, or may be sent
for.
Another test of the immigrants eligi-
bility to citizenship win be his ability to
read and write twenty-five words Of the
Constitution of the United States. The bill
also contains restrictions of immigration
from border countries. One Of these restric-
ti1ns is that no male alien, who has not iu
good faith made his declaration before the
proper court of his intention to become %
citizen Of the United States can be employed
on any public works of the United States, or
70 come habitualy or regularly into the
country by land or water for the purpose of

THE new twin.screw freight and passenger
carrier, Pennsylvania, of the Hamburg
American line sailed yesterday ON her maiden
trip to Hamburg with more than 1880 tons
of cargo including $4,000 bushels of gr in.
1t would require 1000 freight cars to carry
the colossal freighter's cargo overland. No
other freighter has ever taken from any port
so large a quantity of merchandise as is
slowed in the Pennsylvania holds This
ship was built at the Harlan & Wolf yards
in Belfast, ireland, and is the largest freight
carrying ship in the world. If this cargo
wore loaded in freight cars, in one train, it
would cover stretch of nearly miles of
track or, at the rate of 40 cars to train, IL
would make 25 long freight trains.

SIX PEOPLE MURDERED.


Indiana Suspected,
Winona. N. d., Feb. ia sextuple
tragedy occurred one mile from this
place yesterday, on the ranch Of Rev.
Thomas Spencer. The horribly mutila-
ted bodies Of Mr. and Mrs. spioer their
daughter, Mrs. william Rouse, with
her t-year-old twin boys and the aged
Mrs. Waldron, the mother of the post
master of this place, were discovered
scattered about the ranch and there
is as yet no positive clew to the per-
petrators OF the horrible crime
The appearance about the ranch the
condition Of the bodies and some other
circumstances have led to the susuic-
ion that the murder was committed by
Indians, and this suspicion was in
part started from the known fact that
one Indian was seen in the neighbor-
hood Of the ranch on Wednesday. The
bodies were terribly mutilated with
axes and clubs
The Standing Rock Indian reserva-
ton is not far from the scene. If the
murders were committed by Indians
the murderers are undoubtedly now
back among the reservation Indians.
There is much excitement here oveH
the tragedy.
