THE DUTY ON RUSSIAN SUGAR.
An Effort to Adjust the Controversy
without Great Delay.

1t is hoped at the Treasury Department
that it will be found unnecessary TO sum-
mon a large number of witnesses before
the United States Board of General APP
praisers in order to bring about a settle
ment of the questions involved in the
countervailing duty on Russian sugar.
w. J. Gibson. counsel of the Treasury De
partment, will represent the Government
before the board. If it is found necessary
to examine witnesses on both sides TO
establish facts in the controversy, il Will
cause the recall of some United States
officials in Russia for this purpose and
the decision of the board would cOnse-
quentIy be delayed for several months in
stead Of a few weeks.

circles that President Mckinley would
very much like to appoint his old friend
Mr.. Knox, the distinguished trust attor-
ney of Pittsburg. to succeed Mr.. Griges

to be that he is inclined to hesitate about
the matter because Mr.. Knox is perhaps
more openly identified with trust inter

Unless he has changed greatly since
he was in the body and in our midst,
he must be conscious of mental res
ervation or evasion in proclaiming this
ennobling sentiment. Certainly it was
not one that he entertained in connection
with The national legislative body which,
in the day of his supremacy over 1t. he
suppressed, robbed of all representative
rights, muzzled, caponized, and bent to
his personal will or within. 1t does not

forts of an armed revolution. If his old
party rivals have not been slow to take
advantage OF what he has taught them,
he of all political cadavers ought to be
chary about finding fault with the logical
and necessary consequences of his malign
work. But. whether we regard the late
Reed in the light of a current or of "a res
directed humbug the principle governing
his case is the same. From such a source
shouts for human liberty and the in
aliensble right of self-government can
only be accounted for upon the ground
that the Devil is said to be an extremely

ers in preventing that consImmation,

the Administration could not think of
doubling Russian assurances that there
is nothing in the story of an agreement

is that our rulers are extremely dis

Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many

to the large resident American popu-

little is due tc the growing spread OF
English among the Mexican people.
