THE SUGAR BOUNTY s,tI.s

The two bills affecting sugar bounties
are making progress in a manner very
satisfactory to the owners of the refinery
near Minneapolis, and to the sugar trust
that is behind them. Governments
exist and operate for them. Germa-
ny, Belgium and Austria nav a
bounty on exports of their sugar
thus giving them the raw material at the
lowest cost, % cents a pound being the
latest quotation. Minnesota, Michigan
and New York then pay them cent or
so pound to refine the raw sugar. Con-
gress lays smart tax on imports of the
refined article. And the dear. simple

Paper Writes of Samoan Clash.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.-The Ger
man Democrat, published in this city, has
received letter from one Of the chief
German officials at Samoa which is in
teresting as giving the German view of
the complications at Apia. The CORE
spondent writes that with all the shoot
Ing that has been DONE not a single Ma
taafan. has been killed or wounded. and
the Mataafans and Germans have
apparently no respect for the fighting
ability Of the American and British sail
ors. The Mataafans are anxious for the
allied forces to come out and fight in the
open, where they, with their native i'm
PIGMENTS of war, will have a chance
against the modern weapons used by the
Americans.
The letter says that Admiral Kautz gave
no warning of the bombardment, but that
when 1t commenced he thought a salute
had been fired. According to the CORE
spondent, British Consul Maxse is great
Iy blamed for the trouble, and there seems
to be an inclination among the Germans
to hold the British responsible for the
war instead Of the Americans The Ger
man commander of the Fake, in addition
to taking on board women and children
OF his own nationality. extended to Amer
lean and English women and children the
hospitality Of his ship. which was greatly
crowded. The German correspondent saws
that Admiral Kautz thanked the Germans
for this courtesy by Smelling the German
consulate. The admiral later attributed
the firing on the consulate to poor am
munftfon.

QUAY ON TRIAL.

The pending trial of Senator Matt s.
Quay is an event Of rational Importance.
The charge of itself cannot be re-
garded as of the highest gravity; but IL
1t is maintained it will be effective in
putting an end 10 the public career Of
Senator Quay.
The enemies, as we'll as the friends of
the Pennsylvania senator unite in the
hope and belief that he will have fair
and impartial trial. He has not COM
mel1ded himself by his public character
or conduct to the regard of large and
important element of theaAmerican peo-
pie. 1t is not wrong to say shat he has
been regarded, perhaps, more unfav orably
than any other politician who in our time
has reached the same eminence. His
standards of public morality are right or
ceptionally low. His influence on the poll
tiles of his state has been all in all, OF
the worst. .ss.-e,-
The state of Pennsylvania, through the
republican party and under the respon-
sible leadership of Senator Quay, has
long continued to enjoy reputation In
it's public life about as degraded as that
borne even by certain Southern States
under Republican carpetbag control
There the corrupt and harmful influence
of trusts has been felt as nowhere else
1t is no secret that the coal trust Of that
state has carried on its extortionate oper-
ations under the immediate paid protec-
ton of the disreputabl BILE band of Repub-
lican politicians who have for an en-
tire generation, and since the death and
downfall of the Camerons, accepted the
leadership of Quay
1t would be a good thing to see in
fluences such as this man stands for for
ever swept from our public life He is
almost the last survivor of school OF
politicians whose power was unrivaled
and undisputed in the Republican party
up to ten years ago. Zach Chandler
Simon Cameron, Dudley, of Indiana, and
many others of that variety have passed
away. But men like Quay and Platt
still survive. Their usefulness for evil
however, is drawing each day nearer to
a close.
Whatever be the result Of Quays trial
his conviction, if 1t comes, will be The
honest conclusion of the jury. man
who has for so long had absolute control
of the public machinery of Pennsylvania
is not likely to be placed at any disad-
Vantage before either court or jury
which is not the legitimate outcome of his
own wrong-doing.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 1O-Ex
United states Senator Matthew S. Quay
and his son. Richard R.. Quay, were
called to the bar of. the court of quarter
session. today, and after many months
OIL veNatlous delay the trial Of the two
defendants was begun. Special cards Of
admission. permitting only those directly
interested in the case. witnesses, jurors
and newspaper men, had been issued.
Even members of the bar who are not In
the case were withheld admission. AS a
result, the court room was but little
more than half filed and the greater
portion of those present were witnesses.
Judge Craig Biddle, one Of the Oldest anc
most respected members Of the bench,
is the trial judge.
District Attorney Rothermille, after
two hours had been spent in selecting a
jury, elected to try the ex-senator first
on that one of the five indictments Chat
in which he and his son are variouz.y
named which charges Mr.. Quay and the
late eX-State Treasurer Benjamin j.
Haywood with conspiracy in using the
state funds for their personal benefit and
profit. and in a manner unauthorized by
law. This action practically leaves the
ex-senator alone on trial.
Beyond the selection of a jury and the
examination of one witness. Thomas W.
Barlow, receiver of the Peoples bank,
nothing was done today. The Jury was
secured after thirty-five talesmen had
been examined, fourteen OF whom were

The defense then exhausted Its privilege
Of four peremptory challenges, and the
commonwealth took advantage OF but
three challenges
The evidence of the only witness ex-
amined today, Mr.. Barlow, led to the first
clash between counsel, and apparently
indicated that a. determined legal battle,
replete with knottys points Of law, will
be fought in the trial of the case.
The district attorney called Mr. Barlow
to Identify books and papers found by
him when he asSuemed the receivership

undertook to cress-examine the witness
with respect to his knowledge whether
certain books, which the defense, it is
understood, claims are missing, are in

ness This was objected to. and after re-
peated consultations among the counsel
for the defense and several other efforts
to obtain an answer to the question in
another form, 1t was abandoned, and Mr.
Shipley said he would begin his cross
examination in the morning.
