DOUBLE SUICIDE.
: sRs Unkn own Men Turn on the oras
at a Hotel.

A mysterious double suicide has oc-
cured at Grand Island, Neb. Two we'll
dressed men arrived in that city from the
East and inquired for the best hotel in the
city, and only one registered, saying one
would do for both. The name Oh the
register is very vague, evidently made so
purposely, but looks like r. A. Newcome,
and the residence as Billings, Mont.
A bout noon the two men were found in
their room dead. All the gas jets in the
room were open full, and one jet, placed
very high up, and of which no possible
use could have been made for lighting
purposes was also opened.
A Baptist college student from Scotia,
Neb., thought he recognized the bodies as
those of two merchants of that city.

Cuban AHnirS.

A special from Havana says: Through
Canraguy Las Villas, Matanza and Ha-
vana the Cuban bands are swarming.
Around the capital itself and in small
territory where there are neither moun-
tains nor forests in which the Cubans
might shelter themselves, they show a
degree of boldness that is amazing, in
view of the power of the Spanish army
and the odds against them. Pinar Del
Rio is not paciGed at all, and the Spanish
official reports themselves prove that
fighting is going on daily there.

protecting the small element that Is en-
gagged in the production Of beet sugar, the
consumes of this country must pay $70,-
900 over and above the actual cost of
sugar plus a reasonable profit. Placing the
value of the protection afforded the beet
industry of $500, 900, which is a liberal
estimate, we have left s65, 900 900 for the
purpose of revenue. This, note, is the
revenue from one product only.
The trainers OF the House bill estimate
that it will produce revenue OF $269, ,105,-
10 in a year of normal operation. This
would be, as Mr.. Aldrich says, the largest
revenue ever derived from any tariff bill,
Si13, ,479, ,793 greater than the amount re-
ceived last year under the Wilson bill and
$40, 732, ,24 greater than the amount re-
ceved In 1893.
The rush of importers to cover them
selves against the enaction OF the bill will
materially change the amount to be de-
rived from the various schedules for some
time to come. 1t will be difficult to know
for the present just how the bill is going
to work. But the essential principle, high
duties, which the consumer must recog-
niZe, remains.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Mr.. Aldrich's new tariff bill is now be-
fore he Senate for assault and battery
purposes, and 1t is hoped and prayed by
the majority Of citizens OF this country
that the ordeal will soon be over. Mr..
Aldrich has defined the various phases OF
the bin at considerable length. He says
that the object OF the sugar schedule, for
instance, Is twofold-to raise a revenue TO
help meet government expenses and to
protect the beet sugar industry of the
country. The sugar schedule is consider
ab'y different from that OF the Dingley
measure. IL will produce an enormous
revenue, but at the same time IL will cost
the consumer weighty penny. Mr.. AL

sugar consumed in this country (2,Ooo,Oo
