Every week we get a circular from

n cheap sugar because we have to
buy it, and if sugar can be made
cheaper to the benefit of the Amerl-
car people we will favor it. But the
source from which these figures come
makes us a. little suspicious. Ii free
raw sugar is for the people against
the interests of the sugar trust, why
is that organization spending thou
sands of dollars to spread the free

turned philanthropist and is willing
to sac acrifice it's wealth for the benefit

The Baltimore American says: The
appointment Of Rear Admiral CROWN
shield to command the European sta
tion was not hailed with poems of de-
light. The record of the man as a sail
or and as an executive was not such
as to justify the belief that he would
measure up to the mark in either
capacity. AS sailor he left Boston
for New York in the battleship
Maine without sufficient coal or ship
stores for the voyage, and narrowly
escaped courtmartial for his failure
to properly perform his duties before
his vessel left port. AS an executive,
since assuming command of the Euro
pean station, he came within a very
narrow margin of causing trouble
between this country and Italy by per-
mitting has Endorsement of the findings
of the court of inquiry that investi-
gated the Chicago affair at Venice to
be made public-that Endorsement
containing a vicious attack upon the
Italian judiciary. And now, while
entering the harbor of Christiana, his
ship, the Illinois, went ashore in a
channel that is being constantly nayi-
gated with safety by competent sail
ors. The Illinois will have to go into
dock. the government will have to pay
the bills and Crowninshield has added
another mark to his remarkable rec
ord for inefhciency.'
