 The gain to the sugar trust from this delay will thus amount to about three tenths of q cent per pound. or $G.7O per ton upon 300.0O0 tons of sugar Here is a snug S2,OOO,OOO all in one bunch. On the two-thirds of Cuba's crop all ready owned or controlled by the sugar trust the gain will be equally great. or. say. SG,00O,000 gain to the trust the first year. very handsome present from this Republican congress. It is not surprising. therefore, that the price of this stock in Wall street has gone up rapidly during the delay in congress.
 Republican senators deal liberally with this favorite trust, and numerous of those senators and congressman are said 10 be dealing heavily in sugar stocks and to be making biz profits. It is not surprising, then. that they refuse 10 vote with the Democrats 10 remove the different1al duty on refined sugar. which would reduce the profits of the sugar trust One-Ciehth of a cent per pound on its entire product. or S4O0O. 600 q year, and would nearly offset the gain from Cuban reciprocity. Of course the Republican legislators who are loaded up with sugar stocks will not vote for anything that will hurt the trust and their stocks; hence Cuban reciprocity will go through the senate without a hitch. and our congress will again be disgraced by contact with this vile sugar trust
 This time. however. the White House participates in the disgrace, for. while the president most strcnuOuSly insisted upon the passage of this legislation, he never even suggested the removal of the diiTerential duty on refined sugar.

CHEAP STATESMEN.
The Price In Nebraska Appears to
 Be nt T. Very Low Level.


 The general idea of the selling price of Republican United States senators has had q rude shock by the disclosures In the case of Senator Dietrich. pal try S1,30O seems rather small figure for even q Nebraska senator. but the price must increase rapidly as we come farther east, and the average no doubt amounts to q respectable sum. Of duced in the trial of Senator Dietrich It may explain that the new postmas- ter paid all he could afford, with the other assessments that his party will make on him for campaign funds. No wonder the state of Nebraska is rail- road ridden when the small amount of cash necessary to control tine actions of its highest officials is considered, for what must be the going figure for Re publican members of the legislature if United States senators are willing to sell out So cheaply? It is stated that the Hastings pOstotiice is but one of q large number that have been auctiOncd off and that when the returns are in from the whole state the total amount will run into more enticing figures.
 The exposure in the Dietrich case is causing considerable worry in Repub- ican circles in Washington. and d hint has been given out that in some way the statute of limitations is to be stretched to cover the matter. as it has so generously been interpreted to shield other delinquents.
 When tine Republicans came into power in Nebraska, their boast was they had redeemed the state" from the wicked Democrats and Popuiists, but those honest citizens. whatever their shortcomings in Republican eyes. had not been charged with selling their influence for small or great price If there is any virtue left in the ma ajority of the voters of Nebraska, another re- declaing of the state should be due in 1904.

 According to the Wall Street Journal Of Nov. 2S. the sugar trust is again in full control of congress and is cor fuplns le=iSlation HOW as frequently in the past. l. dictates every move by the Republicans in congress. This journal explains tLe reason for senatorial delay by saying:

The bill and treaty cannot possibly take effect before the 2Gth day of December and probably not until many days thereafter.

How Senator Hanna Plays the Game
 at Which He Is a Past Master.

Before the recent election in ChiO Senator Hanna was frightening the voters by telling them of the awful panic that would follow his defeat The mere suspicion that the Democrats might win was. he said. responsible for closing of mills then. Should the Dem ocrats win victories in Ohio and other states he prophesied that a great panic would follow and that soup houses would be numerous. It was unsafe, he said, to even suggest a reduction of tariff d1ties.

CITY IS NOT LIABLE.
Courts Ruling Puts Quietus on Suits
for $1,000 900.

Chicago, July Litigation to the
probable aggregate total Of ss.0oo.ooo
has been discouraged by ruling Of
Judge Holdom, in the superior court,
to the effect that the city Of Chicago
was not liable in any degree for the
Iroquois theater fire. A suit by Eva
Catherine Gibson for $4,000 damages
because of a broken arm and an in
jured spine was the case decided.
Sixty other suits are pending and had
the decision been against the city hun
dreds Of other actions probably would
have been filed.
The opinion was on the city's de-
murrer to the averment that the thea
ter was public nuisance and that the
municipality was liable because Of the
dereliction of it's officers in issuing a
license before the theater had complied
with the ordinances. But even had the
playhouse been a nuisance in the legal
meaning of that word the city still
would not have been liable.

IRON MARKETS DULL.
Holidays Have lnterfered With Little
Business That Has Been Doing.

New York, July THE holidays
have intefered with what little bus
mess there was doing. says the Iron
Are, and the iron markets generally
are dull. The mill and foundry con-
sumption usually falls off considerably
during this season Of the year, owing
to stoppages for repairs and remodel
ing. At a time like the present when
consumption is generally light these
more than offset banking and blow
ing out Of blast furnaces. In the
foundry branch the key to the situa-
ton is held by the southern producers
who are at odds with the coal miners
OF whom they demand concessions in
wages. The furnace companies act in
a determined way. but some shipping
collieries not identified with the iron
trade are putting backbone into the
by running subject to q
final settlement on the basis OF the
to be reached.
An indication Of the attitude Of buy
ers is furnished by the fact that a
large pipe foundry which sold $4,000
tons of cast iron pipe to Cincinnati
covered only a small part of the iron
and then withdrew from the market
again. The billet meeting is now be-
ing held, but until the whole basis Of
the association and its methods are
changed the trade will pay very scant
attention to II. How little Of the
prices really means is shown by the
fact that the consumers who have slid
ing scales win get their June billets at
s1s, when the official price is $40.

but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared 1t would never
grow again. Itcontinued until my aged

saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-

SALOON KEEPERS DEFY LAW,
DESPITE PENDING TRIALS
Sunday Business Continues and
Arrests OF Week Ago Make
No Seeming Difference.
NO WOMEN ARE PRESENT
Fear OF Further Disclosures Be
lieved to Be Responsible for
Their Absence.

Three downtown saloons, Burkhardt's,
al South street and Madison avenue Jerry
Gates's. al Kentucky and Senate avenues,
and Fletcher's, on McCrea place-the
proprietors of which are now under arrest
for violation of the Nicholson law. were
found by Journal reporters to be open and
serving drinks Sunday evening.
The only visible effect that the arrest of
the proprietors of the three places had
was that al Burkhardts. where seven
women were found a week ago last even
ing. women were to be yester-
day. Any effort toward actual and effective
enforcement Of the Nicholson law. which
was pledged by the reform" administra-
ton now in power. was to all appearances
absent.
The statement as to Fletchers is made
with the explanation that since the arrest
of Homer Fletcher, proprietor of the place
at the time of the Journal reporters visit
a week ago last evening. the place is said
to have changed hands and last evening the
Illuminated sign over the entrance bore the
name of Mick Conlon."
At Burkhardt's place, of which Michael
Duffecy. now under bond for violation of
the Nicholson law, is proprietor, no women
were found last evening. At neither

any women last evening
In spite Of the arrest of several more
saloon keepers last week for violation of

nails investigation, practically every down.

evening by the familiar side-door route
and drinks were again served to all comers.
