SUGAR AND THE PHILIPPINES.

In interviews printed in both the
Plcayune and Times Democrat of
the present week, Senator Murphy
j. Foster has expressed himself in
a very comp.acent way towards the
Philippines Tariff Bill now before
Congress. In these interviews he
belittles the prospective production
and resulting competition from
those islands, even if the bill pas
ses, and does @aot seem 70 take q
very strong position in a matter
which is, we believe, of vital inter-
est to the sugar and rice growers Of
this State, to rice growers because
the destruction of tie sugar indus
try would mean a great increase in
the production of rice, with attend
ing low prices.
II Java, with higher priced labor,
can ship over a hundred thousand
tons of sugar year to this country
paying duty Of 1.63 Of cent
pound, then the Philippine Islands,
with unlimited sugar lands and
cheaper labor, would be formida-
BILE competitors to the sugar indus
try of the United States at duty
of less than one half a cent a pound
for Sc test sugar.
The statement that the Filipinos
are miserable laborers is the veriest
fabrication. To-day, and all the
winter, the Myrtle Grove Company
of this parish have had fully one
hundred of the Manila men work
ing in the cane fields at wages Of
over one dollar day, and more are
wanted, and they are the steadie.t
of laborers, working from dawn till
dark. or course, where men are
paid 10 cents O day, as they are
paid in the Philippines, they can
hardly be expected to tear them
selves to pieces in their hurry to
work, but with doubling Of this
wage and the splendid American
machinery that is sure to 60 where
there is an honest penny to be made
the output of the Philippine sugar,
if this bill passes, will be enor-
nous.
How extremely ridiculous for the
Taft contingent to claim in one
breath that the lowering Of this
tariff on sugar and tobacco to 25
per cent Of the Dingley Bill rates
will aid the eleven millions of the
Filipino people to prosperity, and
yet the resulting competition will
not injure the two million people
in the Uaited States engaged in the
industry; to argue that an increase
in the supply will not affect the de-
mand aud lower the prices here.
The Picayune in fine editorial
the other day showed that the chief
beneficiary of the proposed law was
the Sugar Trust. In the last cam
paign the opponents Of Senator
Foster showed that the latter's law
firm represented the Sugar Trust in
very important litigation in the
Courts of this State.
For this reason the friends OF
Senator Foster desire him TO be
particularly active in opposing the
Sugar Trust regime for crushing
out eur cane and beet home indus.
try, This parish gave him large
aud handsome majority in the pri.
mary for the senatorship, and We
look to him to yet conduct q strong
and aggressive opposition to the
pending bill. Such weak and lame
interviews from one Of our own
senator's hurts our cause, "ior
If the trumpet gives forth an IN.
certain sound, who shall prepare
for the battle. ."-Plaqsemixes Pro.

 Young Corbett is willing to make the match right away on one condi- tion. He wants to make side bet of $5,000, and will insist upon that being put up before he will agree to meet McGovern again.
 Young Corbett's friends had over $10.000 at the ringside to bet on him." said Harry Pollok last night. "and although 1t was declared all around that McGovern was the fa- vorite, there was no McGovern money in sight at any time. and we couldn't get penny on.
 "we are ready to make the Chel- sea match at any time. Everybody knows that McGovern cannot whip Corbett and that is why We will in- sist on a side bet being put up first. There'd be no chance to get 1t on later"

 Musante's name does not appear in the Acorns' lineup. but Crowley, the other standby. is there. The eastern teams are hoping that Pennsylvania will be in condition to give Michigan a trimming when they meet.

 The cheer leaders at Yale have de- cided to start rehearsals earlier than has been the custom in the past and the first mass meeting will be held this evening in Alumni hall. The first cheering of the season will be practiced. at the Pennsylvania State game tomorrow. The Yale News de- plores the fact that in recent years the cheering at the Harvard and Princeton games has not heen nm in the high standard which Yale men would wish. They ought to engage John F. Conniff. who leads the cheer ing section at Kirsche's bowling al- leys in Hartford.
 Crosby High goes to winsted to- morrow to oppose Gilbert. This is the second game of the season for the waterburys and the players are eager to wipe out the defeat admin istered by the Naugatuck High elev- en last week. Last year Crosby lost in winsted. but defeated the Gilbert boys in this city later Tn the season.
 The game next Sunday should be a good one. The first contest last season resulted in a tie, 5 10 5. Wa terbury had numerous rooters at the game which was in Bridgeport.

 DID THE TRICK
Kid Sullivan Sent to Dreamland in the Fourth Interesting Fight
 News.

Baltimore, Oct 19.-Kid Sullivan was no match in any way here for Amby McGarry, the New York light weight, and was put down and out in the fourth round, after having been badly beaten.
 | The fight was fast and furious from the drop, but McGarry did most of the rushing, and just before the end had Sullivan helpless and hang ing on to keep from being struck. | The referee got them apart and McGarry rained blow after blow on his helpless opponents head, finally landing a right swing to the jaw that put his man out just as Sulli- vans seconds threw up the sponge. McGarry's seconds rushed into the ring and carried the New York boy of on their shoulders.
 The fight, which was scheduled to go fifteen rounds, was held before the Eureka Athletic club, and big crowd turned out for it. many New Workers being on hand to pull for the Gotham fighter.
 The opening preliminary was be- tween two local colored fighters, Kid Burch and Kid Langdon, and lasted just two rounds, after which Lang don was in no condition to go any farther.
 Young Decker made Kid Beers quit in the second round of the sec ond preliminary, and in the third mix-up Alex Jones and Arthur Val entine, local colored lightweights, went four rounds, with the decision going to Jones. Then two more col ored boys, Walter Smith and Fred Hall, came together, Smith getting the decision at the end of the second round.
 Kid Sullivan stepped on the scales before undressing, clad in full suit of winter clothes and failed to move the beam. McGarry had to strip to make weight.
 Sullivan was the first to enter the ring, and with him were Harry Lyons, Sammy Harris, Skip Mitchell and Sam Beaver. McGarry followed with his brother Willy, Paddy Walsh, John Carroll and Jack Goodman. Bert Crowhurst of Philadelphia was the referee.

He has been seen a couple of times in this city, and al- though on each occasion he has stopped all kinds of punches with his jaw. at the end of the bout he seemed to be just as strong as in the beginning.
