Another HumBug Exposed" "

New York Times und. Dem.) May j.
 The testimony of the sugar trusts offi- cers in the Senate inquiry as to sugar ill Cuba expIodes the latest and most sinister humbug of the beet sugar men.
 It was shown conclusively yesterday and the day before that the trust does not hold and has no claim on any con- siderable part of the sugar crop of the island that it has bought this year less than one-half of it's usual amount for the same period for the past ten years; that 1t has no options on the sugar still to come forward: that 1t owns no sugar plantations. and that it would not derive any appreciable benefit from a decrease of duty on Cuban sugar. The oretext to the contrary. which the beet sugar lobby has ndustriouslv been spreading, is false and it's accusations are ordinarily lobby ists lies.
 The inquiry in which Senator Teller and his friends are engaged is simply d device to secure delay. and if possible to defeat the passags of the Cuban tariff bill. That bill. though in no sense adequate, would help Cuba. and would be of the greatest permanent advantage to the United States. It is outrageous that the pam pered favorites of nrotectionist legislation should be able in this manner to hold up'' a measure demanded by 'ilstice and by an enlightened interest as welt.

The Advertiser really does not know. so it says, ''who owns the islands" It should be clear to anyone even an edi- tor. that the United States could buy of Spain only so much right in the Philip pine Islands as that nation owned. and. therefore, since Spain had no rights we cannot have acquired by the treaty at Paris any rights Ms.-Baldwin Standard.
 To this, The Advertiser might make re ply that it is not given to all newspapers to know as much as 'rha Standard thinks st knows, consequently We might be ex- ctised fuc repeating that it is not yet set . tied who owns the Philippines. The United States has acquired all the title that Spain had whether that was Nttle or much. but The Standard declares that Spain had no right ; the prentsees Then France had no rish. to sell the Louisiana territory aiid Russia had go right io self sis Alaska Therefore, if neither of those nations had a right to sell the property, the United States had no right to pur- chase it and has no title to the domain yet That is reductio ad absurdum, but ss about as good as the arguments usu- ally resorted to by The Standard.

Rrap,s.EYE xApLE.

In The Advertiser of yesterday morning was Reprinted an uncredited article from some other paper on the subject of fine furniture. In which the statement was made that there Is no, such tree as bird g. eye maple'' This statement is erroneous. forsf leaves the. impression that the .pe- sf{har sbird' s-cye effect shown in some &ir1lture Is altogether owing to the rnsn- ner in which the venccrs were cut. and leaving the further impression that such veneers could be cut from any tree of the maple family.
 All this is misleading. While it Is true that there is no such family of maple as the bird s-eye, 1t is equally. true that this is distinct variety of the sugar maple. which is a product of the Northern por- tion of the United States and of British North America. It is very rare in the latitude of Alabama, though we have seen d few specimens of 1t, but it belongs to colder climate than ours. The varieties of the maple are numerous, more than sixty species having been described. most of them indi igenous to North Alabama
 Almost every one has noticed the pecu- liar appearance seen in fine furniture, musical instruments. car fipishings. and other places where fine wood is used. and in which the surface is covered with small dots resembling birds eyes, from which the wood gets its name. These veneers are cut from trees of the sugar maple family and no other and 1t is one of tho rnost beautiful of our domestic woods While all the naples possess me qualities. it is only one species of the su- gar maple from which the bird s-eye wood is obtained

vealth's Attorney J. B. T. Thornton.
Sheriff Jack Leachman and Deputy Sher-s
if Rora Baugh, from Manassas, met
Detective John McDevitt, of Washing

posed murder. In an interview with the
wife of William Roane colored, living
neal the scene Of the tragedy, she failed
to throw any light on the investigation.
Rome was away from home. It was
alleged that there had been trouble be-
tween Smith and him. and the officers
believed he knew something of the mys-
terry.
Hearing the rumors Of suspicion, it is
said he threatened to kill anybody who
would attempt to enter his home. After
talking with the woman Mr.. Thornton
EXPRESSED the belief that she knew moth
ilg. 1t was also his opinion that the
murder theory was very doubtful. DR..

sentiment prevails.
