President Fnvors Cut in Sugar Tnrin

There is good authority for the state
ment that the President is in favor OF
reduction of the sugar tarif, whether he
advocates 1t in the message or not. II is
said that he has so expressed himself to
prominent party men during the past few
days.
The Sugar Trust desires free sugar, and
the beet sugar people and the Louisiana
planters wish 10 have the present tariff
retained. A reduction would be in the
nature OF a compromise, but there can
be no question that il would be welcome
10 the trust.
The argument that the trust makes Is
that the tariff. equal to about S35 a ton
adds exactly that amount to the price to
the consumer on the entire amount con-
sumed, while this country is only able TO
produce about third of the amount con-
sumed. This results IN a tax on the people
of something like sS5.000,000. while the
| Government receives only $50 000. 600.
! The beet sugar people and the Louisiana
| planters, it is argued by the trust, re-
| ceiYe the balance Of the extra money paid
out by the people. The trust asserts that
| free sugar would result in a price to the
| consumer of 31a cents.
The trust would benefit from either free

Readings Fine Earnings.

The report of the Reading com
pany for the month of October,
published yesterday, was all that had
been expected OF it, and perhaps a little
more. It is, with the Jersey Central re-
port, a confirmation of all that has been
said of the prosperity Of the coal trade
and of the anthracite railways. The earn
ings for the month are the best ever
made by the Reading company, and
phenomenally in excess of the earnings
of a year ago. The net earnings were
S1,9565S2, a gain of S1,714,966 over last
year, when the net was only S241, ,5i6. The
surplus after charges last month was
$3.50 coo, compared with deficit Of S549,-
600 in October, 1900, showing an increase
Of 81 402 900.
The report for the first four months
Of the fiscal year is also good. though
October is by far the best OF it, as
in the earlier months the company had
not begun to receive the benefits from the
large advance in the price of coal.
II should be pointed out in connection
with the very large increases made that
October Of last year was the worst month
OF the year, as a result Of the coal strike.
But the new figures are actually fine as
well as comparatively so. The company
very evidently is piIing up a good sur

There hangs in the belfry of the lit

in Andrew county, this
state, a bell which has an interesting
history. In 1852, forty-eight years
ago, there occurred at Lexington the
most disastrous accident which ever
befell a steamboat on the Missouri
river, one attended with the greatest
loss of human life. The Saluda, side
wheel steamer, with a battery of two
boilers, was on her way up the river
with a cargo of general merchandise
and her cabin and lower deck crowded
with passengers, most OF whom were
Mofmons. The river was unusually
high, and the current as it came
around the point just above the town
was strong. To add to the difficulties
the river was full of floating ice which
had broken loose from gorge higher
up. Captain Francis t. Belt. comman-
