Bryan The Aqitator.
From the New York Times,

AHECLh WIG NOV Urn 1Iuce
Mr.. Bryan has PLAYED many
parts. His improprieties of Be
havior and the lack of dignity
he has shown in the Office oil
Secretary of State have been a
public humiliation. By turns Re
has aroused feelings of DISCUS,
contempt, OF aversion and of un.
speakable WEAKNESS. Should he
persist in his attempt to obstruct
or defeat the policies of the
President by persuading those
who still may be his followers to
take the German view that the
murder OF peaceful American cit
zens is legitimate operation Of
war, should he continue to act
upon the theory that his selfish
personal or political ends may
be prudently, safely, or honora-
bly, gained by counseling the
aba ndonment of American rights
and dislovalty to the American
Government, he is making tie
greatest mistake of a life abount
ing in mistakes and the last C
any public concern which it will
be in his power to make.

Washington, June 14.-T1e
Supreme Court of the United
Estates this afternoon handle d
down its final decision in the old
and long-delayed debt case Of
Virginia and West Virginia, in
which the court decided in favor
| of the Old Dominion, or, in other
words, for the holders of the old
Virginia certificates, VINO were
represented in the long and
tedious litigation by Major
Holmes Conrad, the eminent
Winchester lawyer. Major Con-
rad has been the chief counsel
for Brown Brothers, the New
York bankers, who are the fiscal
agents for the bond holders.
In its final decision, the court
held that the state of West Vir-
ginia must pay the sum of $4,-
2l5, 900 as her share of the debt
owned to the bondholders BY
Virginia prior to the separation
from the mother state at
the time OF the civil war, and the
court also held that West Vir.
ginia must pay interest on that
a mount. The interest, computed
at 6 per cent. will be several |
times the amount of the Judy
nent of $4.215,00O.

Germany will be disappointed in

FLYING NIGH AGAIN

The wholesale price Of refined !.
graduated sugar. the kind that is in
everyday use in all households. has
been advanced within the last week
from $50 cents pound to 6.O7K
cents pound. The result of this
has been the advance in the price to
the householder from 6 cents to oH
cents a pound.
And the worst is yet to come,
according to those best informed
about the sugar trade.
Where the prudent and economi-
cal housewife now has to pay an
additional u cent pound for all
the sugar used, it seems that it will
, 60 to cents at almost any instant.
The burden will fall on the con-
sumner, as is always the case, and
sugar must be cut out or the advance
paid.
There are said to be many causes
for the advance in sugar, the most
important being the lack of the sup
ply of the raw sugar. This is at
tributed to the demands of England
and France chiefly, though it is said
that all the European countries, ex-
cept Germany, are in the market as
buyers of the raw crop and have
taken all they can lay their hancs
on at almost any price at which il
can be bought.
Following this policy, it is sale
that England now has stored more
than 100000 bags of sugar il
: Cuba awaiting shipment. This ha.
been slow because that country he.
been unable to get the ships il
; which to transport it. In this di
lemma it is said the English buyer
have been taking the raw sugar tt
l New York, where it is being stored
Negotiations are then opened Will
the domestic refiners to trade til,
raw for the refined at the differeno
in the cost between the two.
This accumulation of sugar
{ both raw and refined-is said II
have been going on, in France ant
England especially, ever since the,
have been cut off from the Germs
beet sugar supply. Both countr:e
+ have depended on the German pre-
y duct in the past. This has cut dow
o the quantity which the domestic re
n finers had every reason to Deepen
J on and now it is difficult for the1
e to secure enough of the raw to kee
# their refiners going.
III Another factor which is quite pc
|. tent in the higher price for sugar
e the beginning of hot weather ar
n the starting of the preserving seaso,
II This nearly always doubles the DE-
d mand, even in normal times, an
:. generally causes an advance.
Ell One sugar broker said today thu
y if it were not for the European We
) refined sugar would be at least IL
# cents pound cheaper than it is.

, Somethina We Have A Right To
Know.

One thing that will doubles S |
be cleared up when we get a |
little further on in our CORES
pondence with Germany is thel
precise principle, if any, on whi' h
she is proceeding with reference
to neutral vessels in the subma-
rine war zoue. Of five vesse 81
recently sunk within few hou 8
off The British coasts three were
Norwegian, one Belgian and only
one English. This is not an ex-
ceptional record. During tie
last three or four weeks the sab
marines have seemed to make
point of sinking everything IN
sight.
What needs explanation about
all this is the difference between
Germany's professions and h r
practices. Even when she ISSUE d
her war zone procla nation In
February she merely warned
neutrals against the risks they
ran in getting in the way of
shots intended for belligerents.
If they were hit, it would be the I
fault, but not Germany's inten.
ton. After the sinking of Il c
Lusitania she notified ueutral
countries that she would try te
avoid sinking their vessels, al {
that even where they CARR, {
contraband she would deal WIKI
them according to regular rule:
of war and give the crews ar
opportunity to escape. She ha!
acknow lodged that she attacked
the Gulf1ight by mistake and ha!
offered reparation. But, notwith
standing all these protestations
it is a rare day in June or any
other month when she does MOI
add a neutral vessel to her game
bag. And so little notice wa.
given to the Belgian steamer
Mena pier, sunk some days ago
that out of twenty-three persons
on board only six were saved
among the lost being the captain
his wife and daughter.
We don't refer to these con-
stantly repeated attacks on neu'
trail vessels to inflame angry
passions, but to show how neces
sary it is to ascertain definitely
the principle On which Germany
is conducting her submarine cam.
paign, and where, if anywhere,
she draws the line. This country
has a right to knew and eve,
other neutral country has right
to know just what German
means to do in the future, al
what neutrals are to expect al
her hands. At present she is
protesting one thing and doing
another. If it is her intent, n
to treat neutrals and 'belligerent
vessels alike, we want to know
it.-Baltimore Sun.
