Work on the railroad is progress
ing and Dominica Bennedetto and
his men are still busy dressing the
grade and preparing it for laying
the ties. We are informed that rails
cannot be secured before November
next, because the mills are now busy
with prior orders that have to be
filed. We're it not for this the rail
road company could lay rails and
ties on the roadbed at once.
The contractor is paying for all
damages to growing crops as the
work progresses and is leaving nc
dissatisfaction behind him. Recent
ly Mr.. Kerens encountered potato
patch owned by Mr.. John w.
Plummer, a former Baltimorean.
Mr.. Kerens suggested the calling in
of.two sound-judging neighbors to
assess the damages. They were
brought in and determined that the
damages would be $40. Mr.. kerens
paid the money and instructed his
men to pull up the potatoes. This
was done, the hills dug and the po-
tatoes measured, and it was found
that two bushels were the extent oi
the crop. Now the neighbors are
blaming Mr.. Kerens for putting uT
the price OF potatoes. On Miss
Madgie Greenwell' s farm, all the 10
oacoo taken up to adnit dressing
the grade was punctually paid fol
at the price assessed by two disin
terested neighbors, and this has
been the uniform practice all along
the line.
The railroad bed has now been
graded as far down as Hollywood
and there has been no let up in The
work since il was begun.

WAsHINGToN. Jnly ri. l9O2


A striking evidence of the close
affiliation of those persons who are
the beneficiarieS of the tariff, and
their determination to conceal from
the public information TO which il is
entitled, is furnished by the lack of
success which has attended the eff
forts of Judge Griggs to secure a
copy of the Special Discount Sheet"
issued by American exporters.
While it is d well-known fact that
American manufacturers, in numer-
Gus instances, avail themseles OF
special privileges conferred on them
by the tariff 20 mulct American con-
sumers, making them pay nearly
double what is paid by foreigners for
the same articles, Judge Griegs be-
lieved that the authoritative state
naent of the Special Discount Sheet >
would bring the facts home to Amer
lean voters as would nothing else.
He, therefore, Commissioned an en-
ploye of the democratic COMMITTEES
TO obtain one. Every effort to do so
failed, and then reward OF 500
was offered for a copy, but so far
without avail. Ii is also notable
that number of the leading news
papers of New York City refused 20
insert the advertisement which the
Judge desired TO place in their col
umns az their regular advertisiDo
rates, stating that they gould not al.
ford To antagonize a class of men
who were extensive advertisers.
This ground for refusal explains the
numerous misleading editorials
which appear in these same papers
and the frequent perversion of facts
in which they indulge
-
While the Committee has been
unable to secure copy Of this par
ticular sheet, it has procured a COPY
Of theexport price-list, and, although
the discount sheet would show a
far greater difference i'm prices.

that discounts are allowed, even

that American consumers will be

higher prices for the benefit of for

NO HELP TO LABOR.
Reduction of Cuban Sugar Duty
Would Help Planters Only.

Washington. May Manuel Ronda.
a sugar broker. testified before the SEN
ate committee on relations with Cuba
today. He said he bought more sugar
for the Independent refners than for the
trust. He said. Germany fixed the price
of sugar In February and March there
was a reduction on Cuba sugars below
the Hamburg price because the supply
is greater than the demand. The Cuban
seller would receive all the benefit of
reduction of duty by the United States,
he said. If no reduction was made,
there might be a panic in Cuba as those
who might have made advances on SUI
gar would call in their loans.
George E. Bryson, commissioner of
deeds of Havana. testified that many
large and small plantations in Cuba are
owned by Americans. AS a rule the
Spaniards control the sugar production
by holding mortgages on plantations.
Bryson also said that the poems or colo
nos who grow the sugar on the planta-
lions would not derive any benefit from
an increase in the price of sugar.

EMERSON WOULDN'T LEAVE
Preacher Says He Was
Ordered Out Of Wamego.

Rev. F. W. Emerson says he was or
dered out of the town of Wamego re-
Gently. The trouble that resulted in
the order for him to leave town was
caused by his address made at Wamego
in which he denounced the officials Of
the city administration for violating
their oath of Office and allowing joints
to run.
The address stirred up the officials,
and the next day the marshal and Mr..
Emerson had a spirited converse ton on
the street. The marshal ordered the
lecturer out of town, and Mr.. Emerson
strongly intimated his intention Of get
ting out when he got ready.
He Informed the offended official that
he had come to Wamego to deliver
series of addresses, and that he had one
more to give. and that he intended to
stay in town until his errand should be
accomplished.
He invited the marshal to attend the
remaining meeting and to bring the
mayor and council along to hear some
thing more about the city adminfstra-
ton.
Mr.. Emerson is in Topeka this week.
He viii speak to the men at the car
shops tomorrow noon, and will deliver
an address at the annual convention of
the State Temperance union in the Au
ditorium on Friday. His subject then
will be THE Best Form of Local Tenn
perance Organization" Mr.. Emerson is
state lecturer of the temperance union.

HOAR'S CANAL BILL.
Massachusetts, Senator Intro
duces ENTIRELY New One.

Washington. May 7.-senator Hoar
today introduced a new isthmian canal
bill. leaving to the president the selec-
ton Of a route. The bill is brief, mere
~ providing that lit shall be the duty
of the pI esident of the United States.
as soon as the same can economically
and conveniently be done, to cause to
be eXcavated and constructed a canal
of such depth and channel as will be
sufficient for the movement of ships OF
the greatest tonnage and draft now
in use and such as may be reasonably
anticipated. from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, by such route as may be Sc
Iected by him, having satisfied himself
of the night of the United States to con-
struCt and protect such canal"
The president also is directed to have
harbors constructed at both ends of the
canal and he is given authority ito en-
ploy such agencies and obtain such ad
vice as he shall find necessary"
Authority is given to the president to
determine the terms on which foreign
countries may use the canal The ag-
gregate cost of the canal is fixed at
$3.50 000, 900 and ten million dollars is
appropriated for the beginning Of the
work.

PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Report That the President Fa-
vOrs One Like the Cuban.

Cincinnati. May THE Washington
CORES ondent Of the Commercial Tri-
bune says:
President Roosevelt Is expected soon
to publicly outline his policy toward
the Philippines It probably will not
come in a message. but in some form
which gives it an authoritative charac-
ter The principal objections which
the Democrats and others have to the
present Philippine civil goveH9l n ent bill
is that it leads to nowhere. It is entire
" provisional and does not look beyond
the needs of a fiscal year. It is expect
ed that the president will tell what he
thinks should be done for the Islands.
One who is in a position to speak
with some definite knowledge as to what
is in the presidents mind informs the
writer that it is his intention to say
that as rapidly as possible the Philip
pines are to be placed in the same IN
dependent position as Cuba. That the
government which we are now estab-
fishing is to be used as the basis of an
insular republic, which viii be given
various degrees of independence as fast
as the natives can accept the response
bilities.
