A CASE OF NON coMPos.

There is a lawyer of Baltimore who
tells a story of how he secured a YER
dict in favor of an Irishman charged
with assault with intent to kill. The
lawyer secured his clients acQuittal on
the ground of temporary insanity.
Counsel and client did not meet for
several months after the release of
the accused. When they did meet,
the following conversation ensued:
We'll, Mike, isn't it about time you
handed me that s500?'
What $50O?"
why, the fee of $500 that you prom
ised me 1 should have if I saved you
from the penitentiary."
'Shure, an did 1 promise We that?
don't raymimber''
Don't remember, Why, you We're so
grateful that you promised me over
and over again that I should have it
within a week.
Mike gave a sickly smile "Shure, I
t'ink the claim is not a good wan"
said he; "ye know, was crazy thin"

Review.-We print today our full an
nual statements of the sugar business
of the United States for the year 1905
The figures show that the consumption
of sugar decreased 134, 946 tons, or say
1876 per cent, against an increased
consumption in 1904 of 2l7. 519 tons,
or S.53l per cent. Taking the two
years together, the consumption shows
an increase of 150,046 tons per year,
Or say 1854 per cent, against 1926
per cent. average increase for "a years.
The cause of the decrease in cOnsump-
ton in 1905 is directly traceable to
the higher prices which ruled during
the larger part of the year.
Foreign sugar producing countries,
other than Cuba, contributed ABS, 1888
tons to the consumption, Cuba contrib
uted 1,101,6 GIL tons, the Hawaiian
Islands contributed 376,497 tons;
Porto Rico, 124,928 tons; Philippine
Islands, 14,673 tons; domestic cane,
334, 522 tons; domestic beet, 220,72
tons; maple sugar, 5000 tons; molasses
sugar, II $50 tons.
The total amount of refined sugar
consumed was $500, $50 tons, of which
the American Sugar Refining Co. man
ufaetured 1,325,692 tons, or, say, $3.50
per cent, against 5S.07 per cent. last
year; the Independent refners, 930,557
tons, or 31.4S per cent, against 1919
per cent. last year; the domestic beet
sugar factories, 220,477 tons. or $40
per cent, against Gas per cent. last
year; foreign refined, 20,954 tons, or
"a per cent, against 20 per cent. last
year.
Average difference between raw and
refined in 1905, was .97Sc. per h.,
against 1850. per Id. in 1904.
The coming year gives promise of
comparatively low average price for
raw sugars because of the largely in
creased estimated supplies throughout
the world and the price of refined will
naturally follow the course of raws.
A study of our tables of details of
supplies and consumption will prove
unusually interesting at this season.

GREAT EDITOR AND CITIZEN
 DIES

The death of Edward Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, removed from A life of activities one of the leading opponents of the best in journalism and citizenship on the American continent. While active in party matters MT. Rosewsser was always fearless and in- dependent. He fought sham, corruP- ton and dishonest politics with all the ability which he possessed, aud ii he could not accomplish the ends which he sought within his party he would fight in that party which represented his ideals for the moment. MT. Rosewater was e strong republicsn-that is, he was an earnest believer in the principles of the republican psrty-but he never hesitated to use the tremendous in- auence of his fearless and widely circu- lated newspaper to defeat that party whenever he believed it to be in the hands of 8 corrupt machine, or dom mated by the railroads or other corPo- rstions whose intersts were not those of the masses.
 Edward Rosewster will be sincerely mourned by those who have followed his splendid career. He was a magnif- icenr citizen and great editor.

The city council passed the ordi- nance, No IS, making the salary of the health officer $500 a year last night, and C. T. Moore was elected health officer. Mir. Moore has been performing the duties of the office for some time. The passage of the ordinance will give him pay for 1t in the future.
 Suggested, probably be the increase in the salary of c. T. Moore, an oIdi- nance was introduced last night for the purpose of providing a raise of S25 a month in the salary of c. w. Dillon, street commissioner, fire warden and supervisor of the water system. The ordinance creates the office of light in- spector and makes his salary $500 per year. Mir Dillon, in his capacity as street commissioner, has had charge of the city lights in the past The ordi- nance went over until the next meet ing.
 Al! the members of the council who are in the city were at the meeting last night and Mayor Shaw was in the chair.
 The sum of $500 was appropriated for the use of the public schools for the current year.
 The bid of D. J. Rich to paint the city hall, inside and out, with three coats of paint and zinc iuish for SlI5 was accepted, and contract award d him. to do the work.

 The regular monthly accumulation oi bills, including the salaries of the city GfcersI were examined and allowed.

LIGHT IS BREAKING

A ray of real, uncolored light has worked it's way into the editorial head of the Juneau Record-Miner, and that paper very sensibly takes up the fight against those who would use their h. auence to obstruct the efforts of the newly elected delegates to congress from this district. Referring to this subject the Record-Miner says:
 "The returns from Southeastern Alaska show that these gentlemen were no, the choice of few localities, but the great majority of all the are in their favor, and they are the choice, under the ancient and honorable doc Urine of majority rule, of the WHOLE of Alaska. It is, therefore, sS we view the situation, rank nonsense for the dissffected minority to keep up its dis grun:led howl. There is one sort ot man who is always high among his political associates, and that is the man who can lose gracefully. Nothing good will come of anti-election backbiting and obstructionisr. The way to make the best of the situation is to jump in and be of all the assistance possible to the successful parties, and leave oil the fight until the next camps!gn-that IS, if we are honest and sincere tn our desire for the welfare of the territory.
 
 If those who are not pleased oyer the results of the election conceive it their duty to oppose Mir. Gales efforts in Congress instead of letting the matter rest as a case of sour grapes and turning helper, of course 1t is possible his chances Of securing any notable legislation are remote This, however, is not good sense or good citizenship, and will result in the de- tachment of some nasal sppendsge as slap st the subjoined physiogomy."
