One reason why the French people
consume so little sugar is because
their ways of living require less of
that article. For the great mass of
the French people breakfast consists
of bowl of soup, which is also fire.

Their drink is wine, and, as they use
but little tea or coffee, especially in
the country, there is scarcely any de-

preserves nor cake in the family. The
usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The
high tax of cents per pound on sugar
is pretty fully paid by the well-to-do
people who live in the cities and who
take coffee or chocolate for breakfast
and small cup of black coffee after
dinner.

The silver Question.

II is also thought by some that any
move OF the kind would tend in small
way TO revive the agitation OF the silver
issue, which is now subsiding. and upon
which the Democrats are themselves all
at sea Upon this subject Republican
sentiment is not sufficiently crystallized
to justify positive forecasts OF legislation.
The same is true with reference to the
proposition TO allow the banks to Issue
circulating notes upon other security
than bonds and lawful money. This has
been strongly advocated by Secretary
Gage for some time past, but thus far
the Republican majority in Congress has
not seemed disposed to take the step.
Mr. Fowler, Chairman OF the House
Committee on Banking and Currency. is
also much in favor of allowing the banks
to issue notes upon the security OF their
general assets, aEl it is not to be doubted
tina, his influence will be directed to the
formulation, reporting, and passage
through the House of measure embody-
ing such principle. But there is very
considerable opposition to it at both ends
of the Capitol, and If one may judge
from the tone Of what comment is to be
heard at this time the chances for such
legislation are not good. However,
there are very few Senators and Mem
bers now here and the expressions may
not be a fair index of Congressional feel
ing upon the subject.

ATTORNEY GENERALS DENIAL.
Declares Charges of Antitrust
League Absolutely False.

Attorney General Knox has denied
most emphatica1ly the charges made
against him by II. B. Martin. secretary
OF the Antitrust League. as to the
promises Mr.. Knox is said to have made
to the Judiciary Committee OF the SEN
ate prior to his confirmation.
Mr.. Martin declares that Mr.. Knox
promised to dissolve the five great trusts
Of the country Just before the vote was
taken on his nomination and that he
would at once bring suit against the
Steel Trust. the Armor Plate Trust, the
Standard Oil Trust. the anthracite ccat
combine and the railroad combine.
Mr.. Martin quotes Senator Hoar as an
authority for these statements. The At
torney General not only denies making
the pledges attributed to him. but says
he has never been informed by the Ju-
dietary Committee OF the charges made
against him by the league. and as a
natural sequence did not reply to them.
Mr. Martin, in discussing the situation
yesterday, said: "If the promise thus
promulgated was merely a trick to bring
about his confirmation. the country shall
know it after the reconvening of Congress
in January and the Senate will be
plunged into a discussion that shall let
bare the whole situation"

MINISTER KILLED IN FEUD.
Texan Called to Door of His Home

DALLAS. Tex. Dec. 26.-The people of
the counties of Red River and Lamar are
in a fever OF indignation because OF the
assassination OF the Rev. J. w. McClin-
ton. a popular evangelical preacher and
welI-known farmer. McClinton lived on
Blossom Prairie. near the village Of De-
port. In Lamar County.
He was called to his doorway between
and 0 o'clock last night by a party OF
men. who fired several shots toward his
house. He thought they we're Christmas
frolickers. and returned soon TO his bed.
He was aroused about O'Clock this
morning by more shots ard calls.
ON going again to the door he was fired
upon. One pistol bail passed through his
body near the heart. As he fell he
reached for his own pistol and shotgun.

McClinton lived for three hours. during
which time he was sufficiently conscious
to make a dying statement to officials. in
which he gave the names OF the men
who he thought were his assassiGs.
Sheriff Baker today arrested Howard
NlcGill. Il ncighbor OF McClintoi.
In his dying statement the preacher de-
slared that trouble had existed between
himself and McGill for several months.

tion OF the laws. McGill was placed in

The Republican Position.

Speaking generally. those Republicans
who favor notifications of the existing
law are inclined to bear the Ills which
they believe to exist rather than fly to
others which may prove of greater magni-
tude and bring disaster upon the eOun-
try They argue that whatever may be
the defects in the existing law the people
are prosperous under it, and hence the
evils are easily borne. on the other hand.
if they attempt to remedy the defects
they must to a considerable extent ally
themselves with the Democrats, who nat
urally are anxious to go much further in
removing protective duties than are the
Republicans
But rega dless of what particular in
diyiduals might be willing TO do,
there is no reason to doubt that
the committees on Rules and Ways
and Means will keep a firm grip upon
the legislation, and allow nothing to
come before the House for consideration
and vote which is not in line with Re-
publican policy. No tariff bill can
reach the calendar unless it is reported
from the Committee on Ways and Means.
and that committee. as now constituted, Is
strongly in favor of maintaining the tariff
as it is in all of its essential features.
II. by any chance. an obnoxious measure
should emanate from that committee, the
House Committee on Rules would see to
ii that no action was taken in the House.

The stoninr of Gomez.

When the Cubans at Puerto Prin-
cipe stoned General Gomez, they not
only manifested ingratitude, but they
gave evidence of political bitterness
which makes it an open question
whether they are really capable of
peaceful self-government.
As sponsor for the islanders before
the world. the United States has
rights as well as obligations. One of
those rights is the right TO consider
carefully the fitness of our charges TO
be left alone in the exercise of func-
lions that they do not seem to thor
oughiy appreciate or understand
The spirit displayed by the stoning
of Gomez was that of the temper
that results in Latin revolutions,
which are often as absurd as they are
unnecessary.
An outbreak in Cuba after she es-
tablishmcnt of independent govern
ment would be OF serious concern to
America. If there is any way to make
il improbable, justice to ourselves and
&c the peaceful islanders demaTds

"THE CoMMoNERv PERMANENT.
Mr.. Bryan Has No Intention of Dis

LINCOLN. Neb.. Dec. 26.-In tomorrow ;
"Commoner' Mr.. Bryan makes this state
ment in refutation of the story that he
was about to abandon its publication.
THE Commoner' was not established
as the result of a sudden impulse It
had been under consideration for several
years, am deeply interested in the re-
forms which | have been advocating and
shall continue to advocate them. My de-
termination TO devote my life to the study

than | had any reason to expect it would
be, the publication would have been con
tinued even if the support had been much
less cordial and the circulation much
more limited.
The Commoner' is a permanent occu-
pant of the journalistic field"
Speaking of the Philippine tariff he
says:
1T is one Of the most shameless pieces
Of legislation ever proposed by any party
and it ought to seal the political fate OF
any man who supports it. England in
her oppression OF the American colonies
was never guilty of anything more tyran-
nical. and even Spain. whose despOtism
aroused aur country to armed protest in
Cuba. even Spain lacked the refined
cruelty which Republican leaders prac-
tice with seeming enjoyment.
While the West Indies we're under the
rule OF the Castillan they enjoyed free
trade with the mother country. and had
representation in the imperial Parlia-
ment but the Filipinos. after cooperating
with us against Spain. were bought like
chattels from a vanquished foe and
placed under the control Of high priced
officials.
Now they are to be shut out from
commercial intercourse with the United
States by a high tariff wall. constructed
to enable few American manufacturers
to grow rich at the expense of the rest
of the people. and denied represents tion
in the legislature which taxes them.
"The Democrats in the House OF Repre-
sentatives have greatly strengthened their |
party by their vigorous opposition to the |
measure
