When the price of staple COM
modify takes a rise the consumer
registers "kick", assuming that the
raise is additional profit. Refined
sugar has recently advanced in price
nearly a cent a pound. The cost OF
refining sugar, as stated by a MEM
Der of the American Sugar Refining
Company, is 80 cents hundred
pounds, and the loss in weight in
the process of refining is equivalent
to % cents a hundred pounds; to-
tai of 63 cents hundred pounds or
63-100 of a cent pound. Rein
ed sugar is 6 cents a pound, raw
sugar 4 and 1915 cents. Adding
the cost of raw sugar and the cost of
refining and consequent loss makes
the cost to the Sugar Trust about
81 cents a pound. Assuming that
63-100 cents a pound is the extent
of ex pense-which it probably is
not-they make half cent pound
or 10 per cent.

The Republican State Tick ct.

The state ticket nominated by the
Republicans of Wisconsin who met
in delegate convention at Milwaukee
yesterday is one which we can most
cheerfuIy commend to the voters of
this progressive commonwealth as be-
ing in everyway worthy of their en-
dorsement at the polls in November.
The nominee for Governor, Hon.
Robert NJ. La Toilette, is an aggres-
sive statesman of broad and enlight-
ened views, and nobly stands forth
as a conspicuous representative of
that progressive political element
which is constantly striving to ad-
vance the interests of the common
people. His ideas concerning desir-
able innovations are entirely practi-
cable, and because of this fact he IS
able to accomplish much greater re-
suits than if he were merely a theo-
retical reformer. With Robert M.
Lo Toilette in the gubernatorial
chair the people of Wisconsin can
point with pride to that chief execu-
tive as a statesman, an orator, a gen.
tleman whose private character is
without stain or blemish, and one
who stands for the purest and best
in our political and economic sys-
TENS.
The remainder of the ticket is
made up of the present incumbents
of the various State offices, who
were accorded the customary COM
pliment of denomination without
opposition. They have been tried
and found true and deserve well at
the hands of their constituents.
As fitting climax to the work of
the convention Gen. George e. Bry-
ant of Madison was elected chair
man of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee. A. M. Anderson
of Burnett and James A. Frear of
st. Croix were selected as members
of the Central Committee to repre-
sent the 10th Congressional District.

What has become of the "crime
against Porto Rico"-that one-half
per cent tariff? The cry was short
lived and its brevity outlived its use
fulness. There never was a more
pronounced instance of" buncombe. !"
The "crime" was all in the "eye" or
intention of the opposition, used
with the expectation of nd.Eqrcigee
their personal popularity. The ldl-
ocy ofthat "howl" is seen in the fact
that the Porto Ricans, the only per-
sons affected, never offered solita-
ry objection to this tariff, and they
are living under its operation in
prosperity and contentment.

Our Nation Homo0eneous,

We are accustomed to consider
that because our citizenship is COM
posed of many distinct nationalities
ours is a heterogeneous nation. An
analysis of our population, however,
will show that we are more homo
geneous than many of the nations OF
Europe. In 1890 the United States
had a population of 62,50O,OOO, OF
which number about 100000 were
negroes. Of the 100000 whites,
35;O00,000 are of English descent,
mot including the Scotch, Irish
and Welsh, who are Celts. H. 900, 900
of Scandinavian and German, and
less than 100000 of all other ma
tionalities-Celts, Slavs, Jews etc.
But the English, the Scandinayians
and the Germans are people OF the
same race the Gothic. These peo-
pies are homogeneous, are kinsmen.
The same blood runs In their veins;
they have common ancestry, like
traditions, the same mental process
es. a similar civilization: and the
civilization of the Gothic nations is
the highest and their morals the
best that any people have ever at
tanned. The descendants of the GothE
appropriate the supreme virility
magnificent individual courage anc
self reliance, the sternest virtues ano
the most restless energy OF any PEG
pie. Nine-tenths of our population
are of the same race, giving US

They perched upon his nose,
They colonked his peaked face
And sw.rmed all over his clothes:
They exploded his swelling uostrils,
Owed deeplnto his ears
They crawlsd up his breeches legs
And filled his eyes with tears.
Did he yen Ike a hyena?
Did he holler like a Ioong
Was he tsl1eertg'
And did he sent and runs
Or did the 'icritter swoons

But he hived EN- in nailkeg tight
