Roll OF Gun Cotton Found in the Illinois
Military Camp.

Military Camp.
Camp Tanner. Springfield, Ills, May 3.
In spite Of the emphatic denial Of
Genera! Barley. post commander and
Colonel Foster II the Sixth regiment
tirat dynamite or any other explosive
had ben found in the quarters q Conn
p2ry l., it now develops that the story
IS true. The commanding officer stuck
to it the stufr found was German vege-
tables. but it is now admitted to have
Eeeu gun cotton. one Of the highest ex-
plasives known. The roll Of gun cotton
was found in the chest Ct Company /
and is believed to have been put there
Sunday by some person who took ad-
vantage Of tha opportunity given to Wis
TORS to so through quarters.
When the boys packed the chest be-
fore coming to Springfield there was
no such material there land after they
reached camp the chest was oyerhauIed.
There is but one inference. and that IS
the high explosive was placed there
Sunday. What the purpose was no one
has attempted TO guess. Had the stuff
exploded il would have blown out the
side cf the building. Tests were made
of the STUFF On sCne bricks at Camp
Lincoln Monday ard again late in the
afternoon on some stones. In each case

vice trade journal gives to publishers.
It farther truthfully asserts that this
is the motto of the commercial world
If anyone can give better motto for
our present system they are at liberty
to try. Get everything you can" it
don't matter how. "Never be satisfied
with what You get" lest the suspicion
arise that you are getting all you de-
serve. Good old competitive motto.
Hang it in your Sunday schools: print
it on your blackboards in your day
schools. But for our unfortunate re-
strictive legislation in the interests of
patriotism it might be well to paint it
on the seventh white stripe of Old
Glory.
1t seems strange that we must have
laws to prevent the Dissertation of our
flag by our own people and laws to COM
pei its appearance upon proper places
and occasions. Still, as we do our best
to divorce our government, and conse-
quently. our flag. from all the ordinary
connections of life it is not strange that
it takes extraordinary occasions to
direct public attention to it.
The plutocratic editors are gleefully
telling us that if wheat gets too high
We can eat the cheaper corn. We are
awfully thankful for the privilege.
Wheat-eaters have dominated the
world, but corn is good enough for hogs.
Let them take their own advice and

it they certainly won't object to drink

Don't you think man is justified in

template the extravagant waste of some
with equanimity if no one was reduced

Diamonds would not have the same
effect on me as red flag has on horned
stock if their scintillations did not fall
on poverty and squalor.
could admire the beauty of silks

cape the contamination of rags.
People might spoil their digestions

blessed, if hunger was not abroad in
the land.
Stained glass windows would excite
my appreciation if it were not for the
old hats that shut the cold. and the
light. from the windows of the tene-
meut.
Charity might pass unchallenged on
her errands of mercy if she had stran-
gled Justice.
I do not advocate a leveling down.

AN APPEAL TO PREJUDICE.

THE Post pushes Hawaiian annexation, attacks | ! Senator White for his opposition and declares
 that only the sugar trust IS trying to deleat ti'e absorption of the islands into our body polite.
 This is an appeal to prejudice and not to reason The sugar trust is represented as fighting tor its ie which it will lose if Hawaii be annexed. In this way is expected array all the prejudice against trusts on the side of annexation the expectation that when it is accomplished the sugar will cease to exist and other trusts will get mortal blow
 The sugar trust is merely association of com panies and individuals engaged in refining sugar, which issues a common stock This association of people engaged in the same business may be good or bad that feature does not into the present dis cusson. It is represented opposing the annexation of Hawaii the ground that its selfish interests will so suffer thereby that it will not be able to exist. Will our contemporary explain why annexation will njure the manufacturers of sugar? They buy raw sugar and refine 1t. The Hawaiian raw sugar comes ill now duty free under the reciprocity treaty, IS bought, refined and sold by the sugar manufacturers associated in the sugar trust IL the islands are an nexed their sugar will continue to come Tn duty
 free will be bought, refined and marketed by the man uacturers in the sugar trust3 What difference Will this unchanged situation make to them? How are the members of this association to be helped or hurt by annexation? If 1t will dissolve the trust why will 1t do so? These questions that have never been answered, though the appeal to prejudice which prompts them has been made from the beginning. Yet no one has ever explained how annexation would unfavoraby affect the refner Of sugar as to drive them into life and death struggle to prevent it.
 In the alignment of Senators annexation there IS evidence of the appearance of the allied sugar re-
 liners II the very papers which make this charge told the truth while the tariff bill pending certain Sen ators were friendly to the sugar trust and aided 1t in fixing the differential between and refined sugar If it is true, then charged, that these Senators belonged to the sugar trust and were egis- ating in its interest and under its control surely in battle for its ife which is represented to be making against annexation, these Senators should be with it. That they are IS notorious Quite to the contrary, annexation is opposed by Senators who were praised by these same papers for belonging to the sugar trust.
 A year ago Senator White, for illustration, was held up to public admiration for opposing the sugar diff ferental which it alleged the trust desired, To- day he is held up to public dispeasure because he opposes annexation and is condemned as tool of the sugar trust. Important changes in public policy and permanent abandonment of our scheme of govern should not be the fruit of appeals passion and prejudice but should issue from calm and most de- liberate judgment
