TUG DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Flames Discovered by Fireman, Who
Gave the Alarm.

The tug Spray. owned by Mr.. James Me-
Cuen of Alexandria, was badly damaged by
fire at Alexandria at an early hour this
morning. The vessel was lying at thinner

cracking of the burning wood. He hurried

a RecIprooity Dream Ended.

The question of establishing recipro-
cal trade relations between the United
States and Canada is succinctly stated
by the Montreal Star" as follows:
Canada will never surrender her in
dustrial independence for all the reciproc-
ity which the American Republic can
offer.
There you have the whole thing in a
highly condensed form. AS Senator
Lodge pointed out in his recent speech,
Canada has no idea of inviting any
larger admission of American manufac-
lures. Her policy is certain to be the
reverse of that. What she wants, and
only that, is reciprocity in agricultural
products and raw materials. The manu-
facturers of the National Reciprocity
League may as well wake up and turn
over. Their dream of bigger trade priv
ileges in Canada is at an end. The trend
of affairs in Canada is to raise her tariff
and build up her own industries, not to
kill what she has by encouraging
foreign competition.-American Eco

SUGAR TRUST AND BEET SUGAR
A uisgraceful Chapter in American
Economic and Political History.

1t must be exceedingly notifying to
Senators and other officials who deserted
the beet producing farmers, on the pre-
tense that the sugar beet interests"
had consented to the Cuban treaty,
that the sugar trust is so brazen in so
quickly and openly taking possession of
&he beet sugar factories in whose name
it consented" to the step toward the
free trade in sugar which the trust de-
sires to obtain. In this State the trans
fer of the Alvarado and Crockett fac
tories has already been made public,
md the final steps are in progress for
taking over the plant of the Union Com
pany. 1t would have been more decent
to Let matters run along nominally UNI
der the old management, for, while
Senators doubtless fully understood how
The sudden consent" was obtained. it
must come as a shock to them to have
the entire public taken into confidence
before the deal is actually completed.
Besides it is imprudent. The new
house of representatives cannot ignore
these public acts, and will not be dis
posed to do So It's members do not,
IKE senators, especially those who have
gust been reelected, feel themselves
wholly above public opinion.
No greater fraud upon the American
public was ever attempted than the set
hing up of the pretense that the beet
sugar interests had consented to the
Cuban treaty. The sugar trnst having
directly or indirectly secured control of
n majority of the stock of the successful
factories, the officers of these factories,
who assembled in convention" of
four or five men, holding proxies for
the rest, were nothing more or less than
the agents of the sugar trust, which
Spenly, officially and constantly advo-
sxtes complete free-trade in raw sugar,
with stiff protection for the refined
product. The transaction, as pre-
lended expression of opinion by those
interested in beet sugar, was shameless
fraud, known to be such by senators
who pretended to accept it as an excuse
for betraying the farmers who produce
beets. These farmers, in consequence
@f that betrayal, have suffered an actu-
nj reduction of so cents per ton in the
price of beets at time when all prod
nets which they have to buy are rising
in price, when the amount of protection
under the existing tariff warrants very
large increase in the price of beets, and
when sugar beet stock as alleged in the
Oxnard circular, is enormously pro
ftRble. 1t is disgraceful chapter in
American economic and political history,
whose discussion in the next congress
cannot be hidden behind the doors of
IN executive session.-San Francisco

they were just the kind of angel he

a Social Wreck Ahead.

Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, Detroit,
speaking on Housekeeping versus
Home making" says;
Married life is life of difficulty.
Sometimes when young people stand up
before me to be married, can see that
they know nothing of the responsible
ties of the venture they are about to
launch forth upon, and say to mysalf
tears would be more appropriate than
rejoicings. When a young woman asks
me about marrying young man tell
her that there are two things she must
find out about him. First, does his love
work by sacrifice, and second, does it
work by sympathy? If it is impelled
by these two factors, God will bless that
marriage. In America the average age
for marriage is 81, and this is too late.
The American people must soon face
the fact there must be simpler social
duties imposed on the young, or social
wreck will come.
Il wish there was a law that neither
bridegroom nor bride should be mem
Der of any club during the first five
years of married life. Out of these two
factors, sympathy and sacrifice, comes a
third factor, simplicity, and these three
elements are of great Importance in the
civic, domestic and christian life. The
first home though it be but cottage,
is always the happiest, and in the happy
home are these three factors.
l have contempt for the man who
can't stay in his own home 10 minutes
after he has swallowed the dinner his
wife has spent many more in preparing
for him, and I have the same contempt
for the woman who can't be content in
her own little home, but must spend her
time in gossip with her neighbors.
Home making is simply true manly
and womanly love, making sacrifices,
offering sympathy and living in sim
plicity.

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that ami
disturbance of the even balance of healty
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite. or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping healthy
people healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same dis
tinction as a preventive that it eniovs
as cure. Its early use has illustrated
the wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take Hood s
for appetite, strength, and endurance.
