Dogs Of Constantinople.

The dogs of Constantinople are
held in an almost superstitious re-
gard by the more fanatical natives,
and every suggestion for their e1-
termination sets the bazaars in a
ferment. In the reign of Murad
H., the destroyer of the janizaries,
an Engishman, probably intoxicat-
ed, was bitten by one Of these
usually gentle creatures, and the
ambassador represented the matter
so strongly that the sultan signed
an order for the banishment of
some thousands to the Princes is
lands, or to such Of them as were
uninhabited. Boatload after boat
load was dispatched, some founder
ing in deep water, others going
ashore on the Asiatic side. The
few which reached the islands made
such . terrific noise as soon as they
felt the pangs of hunger that the
natives of Stamboul clamored for
their deliverance, and as the sultan
could not afford to override the
wish Of the people the dogs were
brought back amid general rejoic-
;ngs.-Pau Mall Gazette.

continually maintain themselves

sion of the poor and by wrestling of
| justice, and how this should be ac-
cepted as so natural that the word
loyalty which means faithfulness

king and not the duty of king to
be infinitely more loyal to his peo-

AN ALDRIcH ADVANCE

Denunciation of Aidriet's Attempt to
 Put . Duty on Hides-The Beef Trust
 Not an ~infant lndustryn = Hides
 Years Before the DineIey Bill.
 The restoration of the duty on hides in the AIdrich bill after 1t had been stricken out in the Payne bill as it passed the House of Representatives Is one, of the many outrageous advances which, Senator AIdrich proposes to have enacted by the Senate and insist ed on in the Conference Committee, notwithstanding the overwhelming public demand for genuine and hon. est revision Of the tariff downward. and notwithstanding the universal pro- test of the independent tanners and of the manufacturers of shoes and other articles of leather.
 A big mass meeting of manufacturers in the leather industries was held in Chicago in the latter part of April and in speeches and ringing resolutions re- ported in the Chicago Tribune, one of the leading Republican newspapers of the country, declared that they were fighting for their business lives against the meat packers, commonly known as the Beef Trust. These shoe, harness, trunk and leather manufacturers de- clared that the meat packers were gaining control of the leather business of the country, and they called upon the finance committee of the United States Senate to agree with the action of the House of Representatives in striking out the duty of 15 per cent on hides of cattle, so that their industries might have a chance to live.
 Their resolutions, sent to President Taft and to the members of the Sem ate, called attention to the fact that, prior to the enactment of the present Dingley tariff, hides had been on the free list for twenty-five years and that, reviewing all of the tarin legislation prior to 1897, hides had been on the free list for seventy-eight years and only subjected to a tax during about thirty years for purely revenue pur- poses. The resolutions also show that

 the continuance of the present exorbi- tant protection" on refined sugar, equivalent to more than 7S per cent ad valorem, and are attempting to create the impression that their industry is not controlled by the Sugar Trust. The facts, however, indicate that the Trust does control the beet sugar industry. The different domestic beet sugaG. fac tories are, for the most part, gaSBered together in groups, each group operat- ed by a parent company. It is known that the American Sugar Refining Com pany (the Sugar TrusD either directly or through its directors has control ling interest in at least ten of these parent companies, which in 1908 pro duced about 70 per cent of the total beet sugar production. All the beet sugar companies act together and all act as the Trust wishes.
 The Cost Not Justified.
 The beet sugar factories claim that they cannot produce sugar cheaper than they are now doing. In 1908 our total domestic beet sugar production was only a trife over 12 per cent of our total consumption of sugar. The hope is held out, however, that in time the beet sugar production will be sufficient for all our requirements. If this result is achieved through the maintenance of a high tariff it will mean that the American people will always have to pay an excessively high price for their sugar. It would also be possible, of course, to grow bahamas in Maine with sufficiently high protec- ton kept up for sufficient time, but 1t would not be good business. The New York Sun is high protectionist journal, but it cannot defend the de mands of the beet sugar interests. In recent issue 1t said: ''It Is not q question of what can be done, but of what is likely to be done and whether results will justify the cost The beet sugar industry must show better re suits than it has shown thus far be fore there will be proper justification for its demands for an extravagant protection"
