ORDINARY THEFT.

Ninety odd dishonest weighers
IN Xed up IN the Sugar Trust frauds
have been discharged from the New
York customs house, and it is stated
that the trust has agreed to pay the
government $1,30O,OOO, the amount
alleged to have been stolen. but it's
not statni what course will be pur-
sued in prosecuting the dishonest
we ghers. 1t is said that charges
will likely be preferred. Regarding
the prosecution of the thieving trust
nothing definite has materializei /.
and it j. not yet been given ont posi-
lively that It will be prosecuted.
The discharge of the weighers b
no means settles the score; nor Will
the payment of s1,3OO,OOO to the
government by the sugar people ex-
punge their oronse as far ~ their
actual violation of law is concerned.
Inc trust is guilty of ordinary theft
on an extensive scale, ami should be
prosccu ed Just the same as some
burglar who m ght break into the
Bluetield postOfice and steal a bunch
o. postage stamps There is abso-
lutely no difference except the diff
ffrence in the magnitude of the Of
lenses. They belong to the same
category. Robbery is all you can
make out OF it,
