w. Va, it looked for time late Thurs
day night as il riot was inevitable and
the greatest excitement prevailed
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt.
The trouble was all over a negro's pre-
sence in the town. From time immemor-
ial it has an unwritten law that no me-
gro could reside in the town. In fact,
until recently there has been but one
colored citizen in the county. Ten days
ago G. E. Edwards, of Philadelphia,
opened strictly metropolitan cafe in
the new Barkwill building, and be
secured negro chef. Since his advent
in ST. Mary's he has been harassed con-
tinuslly. Several times during the
week unknown parties have, under
cover of darkness, stoned the kitchen,
Thursday night they repeated their practices
and one OF the crowd became more bold and
attempted to enter the kitchen with club
Edwards checked his onslaught by well.di.
rected blow with his fist. The man fed down
tho alley and in q remarkably short time 200
people had assembled about the place. The
presence of the mayor, who addressed the
angry crowd, and police had q quieting ten.
dency and the crowd was dispersed, but
further demonstrations are feared.

There is no nation now, except this one,

WASHINGTON does all it can to bring
about social equality between the two
races. Negro troops not only consii-
tute a large part of its militia, but, at
the recent opment of that force

GENERAL MILEs.-A disrscb from
Washington says President Mckinley
is being strongly urged to send General
Miles to Manila. General Miles offered
his services for the Manila campaign
some time ago, but as the Filipioos ap-
peared, according to General 0tissFe-
ports, to be on the verge OF collapse, 1t
was not deemed advisable to make $
change in the command OF the land
forces. Since that time it is evident
that General Otis seriously moderated

Department it is conceded that that Il

TO CUT SUGAR PRICES.

There was a largely attended meeting
of wholesale grocers of Pennsylvania
New jersey and Delaware at the Bourse
yesterday to discuss sugar prices and
reach, if possible, an agreement with
regard to the maintenance of refners'
list prices in the sales by the wholesal-
ers. The meeting was secret, but it is
understood that several propositions
looking to satisfactory agreement TO
adhere to the equality plan failed OF
adoption.
L. Was reported last evening that the
executive committee of the Grocefs'
Association had sent out circular let.
ter to its members, which is vitual
abandonment OF the arrangement to
maintain the 3-16 of q cent limit over
the refners' net prices on jobbing sales
Under the new arrangement wholesale
grocers will sell sugar at any price be-
low the list of re6ners which the ex
igencies of their trade may demand.
This action is understood to be the out.
growth of secret cutting during the
progress of the sugar refners'S trade
war, which has resulted in giving few
cutters an undue share of the business
1t is now in order for grocers to ignore
the list prices without violation of their
agreement Philadelphia Record.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE II. 1898
THE New York Sun has lately di.

THE New ork sun mas lately us
tinguished itselfby series of venemous
attacks upon Admiral Schley for no
cause and no motive, apparently, save to
recommend itself to the administration
and to one of the nasty rings that in
fest the Navy Department. In its
zeal it has published an alleged colo
ouy between Schley and Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson, on the day Of
the fight at Santiago, much to the dis
uarspement of the former. The alleged
colIoquy bore on its face the earmarks
offalsehood and is now distinctly brand
ed as fabrication by Commander
Hodeson. Mr.. Graham, the represen-
tative of the Associated Press, who stood
beside Schley during the entire battle,
declares that NO such conversation was
ever had. When this so-called "col-
loquy" was manufactured, whether in
the Sun Office or by some ally or agent
elsewhere, and then palmed of on pa
Der weak snd wicked enough to accept
it without due enquiry, does not greatly
matter. In either case, the paper has
enioyed its brief hour of misrepresenta-
ton and now suffers in the pillory as
an exposed weak or wiltul slanderer.
A prompt and full apology is now in
order. Few observers of the recent
course of the Sun will be surprised at
this last manifestion of its decay. A
few years ago, under the editorial con-
troll of the elder Dana, it was bold and
brilliant journal. He had his faults,
but in exposing the usurpations and in
iQuities of the Grant administration,
the rascalities Of the carpet bag
gers and the crimes of the repub'
lican leaders, the theft or rob-
berry of the Presidential office, and
the infawies of the Hayes regime, Mr..
Dana rendered great public services
which ought not to be forgotten. No
journal was more widely quoted and
none better deserved to be. In those days
the Sun was an able and strenuous ed
vocste OF free coinage. 1t was about
1892 or '93 that it went over to Well
Street and finally landed in the repub
lican party. There were reports that
somewhere about this time the money
lenders had rendered the Sun certain
favors and, as is we'll known, the devil
never renders any one service with.
out taking an adequate bond in return.
Be this as it may, the Sun is now trying
to out Herod Herod as republican
and negroizsd sheet, as if to eclipse its
old democratic record and obscure the
fnfaging OF its recent apostasy. The
Spaniards had proverb that "a rene
gade is worse than ten Turks" As a
republican party organ the Sun Is not
very effective or useful to the admins.
tration. Its editorials fal far below
those of the elder Dana. The disparity
cannot be redeemed by scurrility or
mendacity, however energetic. The
other departments of the paper, it is
true, are better maintained, but they
are naturally discrsdited by the chsrac-
ter of the editorials
