i-v; efdety en suzerain have one excellent
.M. i . T k . . 1 a a
reaung np me sugar trusts mat,
n from time te tlmepreying upon
this most extensively used article of feed.
The investigation by the New Yerk Sen
ate of the sugar trust showed that since
it formation en December 1, 1SS7, it had
absorbed all the large refineries in the
United States, except one in Bosten, one
in Philadelphia and two in San Fran Fran
ciseo. It holds the properties of the ab
sorbed refineries, having issued certiC
catea therefer te the amount of ever 815.
600,000, which sum represents three or
four times the par value of 1 he stock of
the refining Orms and companies. Even
ra this indited valuation, and after the
less incurred hy closing up six refineries
te retrlct production, there remained a
, profit of twelve per cent.
In three months this brazen trust suc-
,, eeeded in advancing the prlce of refined
sugar ever 1 cents a pound, which, when
it is remembered hew vast Is the con
sumption of sugar, would amount te mil
lions of dollars for (these in the "com
bine." llew they bring about these re
sults is shown by the testimony of Mr.
Bierck, of the Helier & Sierck refining
company. Ills firm had built a refinery
costing 1210,000 merely te get taken into
the trust, and since they were taken
in, their refinery bad been closed and
, their workmen discharged, though the
profits continued as before.
The high tariff wall en refined sugars
of 2.75, 3 and 3.20 cents per pound, have
protected the trust from the competition
of foreigners while engaged in plucking
the native consumer. It will net be ee
easy te de this if Congress passes such a
tariff measure as is contemplated.
The Tariff lilll.
The tariff bill prepared by the Demo
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee in the Ileuse, though the
result of most careful and deliberate con
sideration, must endure an immense
amount of cutting and amending bofero
It can hope te receive formidable support .
The long free list will be fiercely attacked
and seems te offer many vulnerable
peuits, but we suspect that this will prove
the strongest part of the measure. The
Idmlsslen of lumber free is net only wise
as a commercial measure, but h neces
sary for the salvation of our rapidly dls
, appearing forests, and though there may
CN,be complaint that certain manufactured
weed, as hubs and gun block, are ad
mitted free, the fact is that in these
articles American machinery has enabled
us te excel the world, and we have no
cause te fear foreign competition.
The section bearing en wool will
doubtless be mere bitterly assailed than
any ether portion of the blll,and that, net
because, it is the weakest part but for the
reason that the interests affected ure
among the most powerful and the most
thoroughly dependent en the tariff. The
iron and steel men will feel in duty
bound te rat'e a great cry ever the deadly
peril te their industries lurking beneath
the reduction en pig iron, rails and bars,
but it is far less than they had reason te
fear and will probably hare the effect of
checking the tendency of the business te
medic and unhealthy booms, giving
it a mere even and safe prosperity.
Fubllc Dullulfigs.
In the Century for March there Is an
article en public buildings calling atten
tion te their inferiority in architecture as
compared with buildings erected by pri
vate enterprise. The writer says that
until the architectural business of the
United States government i3 put upon
such a basis that it will tempt the hands
oteurvery best architects, and will per
mit that many of them shall join in de
Voting te it a portion of their time, the
American people must be content with a
worse service than nuy ether nation ac-
pte.
The cemp'alnt seem3 te be that arch!1
tects are chosen, net because of their
talents, but because of their ability te
lobby their causes. The frequent change
in them results in an average of works
which de net rightly represent the stand
ing of American architecture te-day. All
of which it will be well te keep in mind
in view of the near possibility of a public
building for Lancaster.
Our YaoIsUIeg Debt.
The debt statement issued by the treas
ury department in March should be held
in mind when considering the tariff bill.
It shows a decrease of the national debt
in the eight months ending February
29th, of nearly seventy-seven millions of
dollars. The decrease during February
was 7,760,SCC. Twelve times the de
crease of thl short month would give an
annual reduction of ever ninety three mil
lions. The national debt less cash in the
treasury and available cash items in
March," amounted te 81,202,451,711;
quite an impressive precession of figures ;
but they would all be swallowed up in
less than a dezjn years by the monthly
decrease shown for February, 18SS. The
report also shows that the following
enormous treasure is stored away in the
vaults of Uncle Sim :

An Interesting Point.
The New Yerk court of appeals lias
just decided that u trust created for the
purchase of masses for the soul of a de
ceased testator Is net valid. Themas
Gunning died about five years nge, at an
advanced age, having amassed$27,000.
He left a will by which he bequeathed
about 620,000 te various relatives in this
country, in Ireland, in Australia and In
ether places. The resldue of his estate
was left in trust te be devoted te the pur
chase of masses for the soul of the testa
tor. One of the beneficiaries brought an
action in the supreme court te set aside
the will en the ground that the trust for
masses was invalid. Trnstee Smyth in in
terpescd a demurrer, but Judge Pratt
overruled It nnd held Hint the plaintiff's
cause of action was geed. The general
term of the supreme court reversed Judge
Pratt's decision and sustained the de
murrer ; the court, in its opinion, held
ing that the trust was valid nnd that a
person could devete his estate te the
purchase of masses for either himself or
ethe'rs. The court otappeah has reverscd
the general term and sustained Judge
Pratt, thus deciding that a trust created
for the purpese named l3 net valid. It
would be interesting te learn the point
en which this startling decision was
made.

NON-HLblUhNT PUPILS.
Treasurer Marshall t-ald that In accord
ance with the resolution pf.sscd at the last
meeting of the beard he had collected tbe
tuition fee due from a number of non
resident pupllB,
Dr. Wlckernbani paid that he had been
called upon by n commlttee of the Iiucas
ter township Hchoel beard In reference te
the children of rssldenta et Lancaster
township attending city srhoeie, The
parents et nearly all the children are In
moderate circumstances nnd the Impres
sion of the commlttee was that an ar
rangement bad beeu made whereby the
township children could attend the city
school and these living en the outskirts of
the city oeuld attend the township soheolr.
There are two city children attending the
schools of litncaster township and four,
teen attending city schools. The com
mittee asked that the beard de net enforce
the rule tee strictly this year and next
year these people will make arrangements
te pay for the tuition of their children.
Mr. Evans said there were a number of
peeple who owned property In the city but
who llve outslde the city limits, and It wsa
unfair that these owners of city real estate
should be asked te pay tuition. He In
stanced Mr. Kepler, who paid ever f 100 per
year school tax.
He thought the matter ought te be re
ferred te the superintending committee se
that the rule could be amended and the
owners of city real estate relieved.
Mr. McOemsey toek: the position that the
beard cannot make a rnle governing the
matter, The law prohibits non-residents
fiem sending children te our schools snd
whlle It Is s hardship the beard cannot ro re ro
llevo these people.
After some further discussion participated
In by Messrs. Uogencr, Kaub, Breslus and
Biker the matter was dropped.
A rrtOl'OSED NKW BUILMXO,
Mr. Marshall made a motion that the id
vlsablllty of building an eight room school

All across the second fleer
front yesterday there was a
busy hum of interest in the late
arrivals of Misses' and Women's
Spring Wraps and Dresses. It
takes two days usually te wake

New Parasols.
Their delicately tinted silk
wings are spread under the
dome of the Main Aisle. Like
a cloud of tepsy-turvy para

the Parasols arc mere artistic,
graceful and handsome than

ahead than usual this season. A

we slum net duplicate. Your
choice will be laid aside for de
livery later, if desired.

Only by bringing the goods di

workrooms could we sell you
these Shirt Waists for se little
as 50c. There are no between

We have a big let ready for
