Jove, by grace, a less sweeping de-
mand.
On the other hand, the rank and
file of the press of the country, with
out regard to political affiliations
have generally espoused the cause OF
the beet grower and have given an
unusual amount of space to the views
of those interviewed. No public
question, not closely associated with
political movement, has received
more attention. If congress is to be
influenced by public sentiment, then
ample notice has been served that
meddling with the sugar tariff in the
interest of the refiner's trust will not
be tolerated
There is not sound economic ar
gument to be raised in favor OF re-
ducing the tariff, while on the other
hand there are scores of invincible
arguments for continuing the protec-
ton now afforded the infant indus
try.
We do not think that there will be
any reduction of the tariff by the
coming congress.
Yet, now as ever, eternal vigilance
is the price of safety and no Con-
gressman ought to be permitted to
indulge in any pipe dreams on the
subject, without having the wasp
nest of public sentiment promptly
stirred up. The Sugar Trust" has
declared war and may be expected
to do everything in its power tt
harass the beet sugar interests, bu'
the public is with the beet grower,
and the publicity already given te
the bed rock facts in the case has
made the, programme of the Sugar
Trust" impossible.

The Trust War.

The development of the month in
sugar circles have cleared the atmos-
phere and brought to the surface
many conditions hitherto somewhat
obscured by the duplicity of those
responsible for the conduct of the
war.
The "Sugar Trust" has revealed
its teeth and has thrown down the
mask of pretense.
The satellites and parasites of the
refining monopoly have veered into
line and have danced when the
string was pulled.
A few subservient and subsidized
newspapers have laboriously argued
the tariff from the benevolent and
disinterested point of view suggested
by the public spirited and statesman,
like Havemeyer.
Other journals knowing the fatal
certainty of the results usually fol-
lowing the declaration of legisla-
tive programme, suited to trust in
terests, have recalled the coon story
attributed to Davy Crockett, and have
sagely concluded, as, of old, the coon

the ghost and "come down" volun-

alacrity, win from the all compelling

Downfall Of an Expert.
Now, behold, there came time in
the land when all the women belong

And every club was devoted unto
the solving of problems which were
better tackled single handed or might

And great was the sale of ency

of the women of the land said one to

So they all departed and the
woman who had read the paper awoke
the next morning to find her pictures
in the dailies.
For she had sent it unto the men
that are called editors.
Now. it also came to pass that this

And the married one was going
away for journey and would fain
leave the children at home.
So she called unto her maiden sis

"If it seems fair in thy sight, it
would be real nice of you to take
care of the little darlings while I am
away"
And the sister smiled a glad smile
and vowed that she would be happy
to do it.
And when she took charge of the
children she took also with her the

had read unto the convention, and
tore it into fragments.

That merry malange Of mirth and
music, "Finnigan's Ball", will be
seen at the opera house Friday night
Nov. 9Th. This is the eighth year
of "Finnigan's Ball" but like all
other farce comedies, it possesses
that advantage which can be found
in no other style of dramatic perfor
nance, the advantage of being chang
ed from year to year, new specialties
introduced, new comicalities added.
In fact, even the plot itself has
changed about and still passes as
"The Ball" So it happens that
those who have seen this famous
farce before need not hesitate to see
it again, thinking that they are to
see the same old piece. On the con
trary, it has been entirely re written
this year, and the authar of the orig.
inal piece would not find a line of
his work, The entire plot of the
story has been changed and nothing
remains of the old production except
the title. The new piece is bright,
fresh full of the latest witticism and
newest music, and goes with swing
and dash that promises to make its
eighth edition the most successful OF
any that it has ever seen. Seats on
sale at Fred Lees.

BOARD OF CHARITIES.
Successful Efforts I'm Regard to Nom

The board Of charities has for some
months past been directing it's attention to
the nonresident patients committed by the
District courts to the Government Hospital
for the Insane (St. EliZabethsD, and main

at the rate of SIS a month, or S13O a year.
St. Elizabeths being a purely government
institution, District patients are accepted
only at the rates quoted above, and each
month DR.. Richardson, the intendent, rem
ders bill to the District authorities.
Each year the appropriations for the care
of the insane have been growing larger
and larger and it was thought by the board
of charities that some reduction might be
secured and the interests of the District
protected in making other arrangements
for the nonresident pauper patients held
at st. Elizabeth at public expense.
The result Of this investigation and work
mas resulted In a reduction Of the number
of nonresident patients charged to the
District support by fifteen.
1t has been the effort Of the board to
come into communication with the relatives
or friends Of the pauper patients belonging
elsewhere and to secure their removal to
institutions at their homes where they
properly belong. In many cases where a
removal was not secured the board has
reached relatives who have readily under

OF their family In the maint ward OF
St Elfzabeth's, where patients are cared
for at private expense at the rate of S21 a
