on the case of an educated but I'M
scrupulous man who went before a
board of civil service examiners
and got certificate for a position.
This he sold to some inefficient per
son and then moved off to another
place, and before another board
got another certificate, which he
also sold. The purchasers of the
certificates were not identified, and
got the positions. The mans SUI
perior intelligence enabled him to
practice this lucrative fraud of sell
ing certificates for some time, until
he BETRAYED himself by wearing

If Mr.. Sherman Is the next Sec

rather critical about our matters.
But he Is a just and fair man. He
has not been quite satisfied, for
some years, with the results of re
ciprocity - not only because he
thought we were getting the best
of it, but because he believed that
the planting interest did not care
a snap for the moral side Of the
question, and had persuaded them
selves that the trade consideration
was the only one which the Am
orleans kept in mind. This is the
truth Of the matter. But we are all
learning much as we grow older.

as an unprecedented man, even if he
does not love us to death.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Mr.. Mckinley affirmed during
the late campaign his belief In the
system of paying sugar bounties.
When he secured the passage OF
the law providing for them, he be-
lieved that it was not III conflict
with the constitution, and he now
believes so.
The late decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States lodged
the issue when the Louisiana men
tried TO enforce the payment OF
bounties due. The broad question
whether or not Congress may vote
bOunties Is yet to be settled, but
the indications are that the SUI
preme Court Will put as small linn
itations as possible on the freedom
of Congress To promote trade.
Mr.. Mckinley believes III free
coffee, free tea and free sugar.
There is no question about that,
for he says 50. The present duty on
his sugar Is not his work; he would
return to the bounty system if he
could, and he will do so whenever
he can see his way clear to it. The
present condition of the finances of
the country may delay action for
some time.
But if the bounty system Is
again adopted, and these Islands
remain Independent, no bOunties
under any form of reciprocity trea-
ty would probably be paid to the
planters here, for the reason that
the amount required for that pur-
pose would startle the rural Con
gressmen. No objection would per
haps be made to the payment OF a
moderate amount of money, but
the fiat appropriation OF several
millions TO distant sugar interest,
mainly sustained by contract labor,
would raise howl among the CON
stituents of Congressman.
Immediate annexation removes
the danger of losing any advantage
which may arise out of American
legislation. The scheme of paying
bounties on the sugar beet industry
is one of indirect taxation which
admirably deceives the voters, as
all indirect taxation does. The poll
ticians see the power in politics of
the farmers wives who do up the
preserves" which 90 so deeply
into the simple farmers life. The
bounty aids the sugar producer and
keeps the women quiet.
Some mixture of the two sys-
tens, that of tariff duty and that
of bounty, may be adopted. There
is no certainty of permanent legis-
lation in these days 1t is the best
for us to 90 where the uncertainty
of legislation will affect us the

Those Whom He Has Held and Expects

Citizen George Francis Train of New
York said the other day that he often takes
on his knee three generations of children
and sees no reason why, in some cases, he
should not take four. Talking about Nine
Delamater, who was Nellie Sands, the
well known society belle, he said that she
was his little friend when as child she
used TO talk TO him in Madison square. He
meets all the children who go there on
fine days, and Nellie was one of his favor
ties. In due time she became IL years of
age, after which they are not children to
him, and he drops them from his list of
intimates, although he retains friendship
for them all their lives, if he considers
them worthy of it,
He lost sight of her for some years. and
one day she met him in the park and came
forward to greet him. He put his hands
behind him and said gently:
