Plan for Dfx,orce Reform.
The State Bar association Of New
York has formulated a divorce reform
law that would stop certain objection
able practices If it were adopted by the
states where the greatest laxity exists
in regard to divorces. It provides that
no person shall be able to get a divorce
for a cause arising while the parties
were residents Of another state unless
that cause is also sufficient ground for
separation in the state where it arose.
It further provides that even when
such grounds exist it shall be necessary
for the complainant or defendant to
have been a bona fide resident Of the
new state for at least two years before
suit can be brought. II the cause has
arisen within the state itself no decree
can be granted unless the person seek
ing the divorce has been an actual resi-
dent for one year. Such law could be
adopted by any state without curtail-
ing any desirable liberty Of its own
people. It does not limit the causes for
which divorces can be granted to the
citizens Of the state enacting It. The
states could maintain all their present
diversity on this point, yet one great
object Of a uniform divorce law would
be secured. The measure would put an
end to the abuses which now exist
where persons seeking divorces can Sc
cure them by merely iourneying to

The January issue Of the United
States consular reports is devoted
largely to the prospects Of American
coal in Europe. The last year has
been noteworthy for the arrival Of car

ports, where it was never seen before,
especially in countries bordering on
the Mediterranean. England also has
been startled by seeing a few cargoes

vent our coal from competing serious

even with the abnormal prices existing
there. The only genuine invasion OF
European markets is in Mediterranean
ports. where the question Of freight
does not play SO important a part.
Hitherto the English mines have sup
piled all deficiencies in continental
Europe. and Cardiff steam coal is the
standard for steamships at all ports
from Liverpool to Hongkong. But
prices have almost doubled during tha
past year. owing to the shortage in
supply. Cardiff coal now costs over

Enrurance ASafnTf Strike Losses
One Of the leading subjects which
came before great convention Of Aus
trian manufacturers in October last
was a report on insurance against
strikes. Not only in Austria, but also
in Germany, is strike insurance being
perfected and applied to manufactur-
ing interests. The plan as outlined
is this: Various manufacturers unite
and form a cooperative insurance as
sociation. Each pays into a common
fund about per cent Of his pay roll
expenditures. In case OF a strike an
amount equal to so per cent Of his
pay roll is paid as insurance money to
the employer whose men are out If he
be deemed blameless in bringing on
the trouble.

THE SUGAR TARIFT BURDEN.

There is probably no duty levied that
is more needless and ineXcu6able than
the tariff on sugar. This duty is a
heavy burden and is shared by every
household in the land. The sole bene-
ficiary is the Sugar Trust.
The extent OF the burden On the peo-
pie is shown in the following statistics
furnished by Willett and Gray. Stats
ticians and publishers of the Sugar
Trade journal: The total consump-
ton of sugar in the United States last
year was 2,219.S47 tons, and based ON
the average increase of 6.34 per cent.
during the past nineteen years, the
consumption this year should be 29607
5S5 tons. OF this quantity 100000
tons in round figures will come from
American sources, say Louisiana be-
ing able to produce 800, 900 tons. Uni
ted States beet factories $50, 900. Ha-
wall 350, 900. and Porto Rico 900, all
being free of duty leaving $50 5s5
tons to come from other sources and
on which duty is paid. The average
duty assessed is $50 per ten. or a total
of S4S 1881 $50"
The point in these statistics is that
under the monopoly of the Sugar Trust
the price of all sugar consumed is
enhanced to the extent of the duty of
S36 per ton or a total of sS4 1851 .060. 1t
is evident that $4,000 600 additional
is paid by the people in order to pro-
vide the government with forty-nine
millions for revenue, OF which the gov
eminent is not now in need. If the
duty is taken off Cuba sugar, eighty
five millions of dollars will remain in
the pockets OF the people.
On October Sth. the quotation for
Cuba centrifugal sugar SO test, in Gu
ba was l.96c per pound. The duty on
the same amounts to 1.6S5c-equiva-
lent to SIS per cent advalorem.
Isn't it about time Congress was
paying some attention TO the American
. consumer?
