W'ith Ihocsauiis of unemployed- men
vainly Bit-king for labor, it looks like tue
heig-t of madness for workir.gtfcen to

ree" is an apt scholar and ariose imita
tor. The trick of padding a registry for
fiture ie as long ince resorted to hy
political heelers and is much in vopae in
'ew York where TaoiciaDT " runs the
machine."
It ia now gravely announced by lead
iuz Icmo-ratic S.-nator that the Tariff
Inform bill will be a law by "the middle
of Jane." Lefecee; when the biil wa
before the House Mr. Wilson said it
would be ''a law in March." When it
went to the Senate it was declared to be
certain "the list week of April." Still,
there are doubting Thomases, who insist
it will not be a law on July 4th.

to retain tiieir grip, but as most of the
Populists were formerly I c-mocrats they
understand the tactics of that party and
w ill undoubted. y be prepared "to ll jht

;ii:ish nd wid -spread, and with a f.iir
Hit the Populists n.ay win.
S. k ten days since several of the
Pattern j jurnals published circumstan
tial disclosures of alleged attempts of the
pu,ir trust to buy legislation in its inter
ests, and to have the tarilf bill now
pending in the Senate so manipulated
and amended as to redound to the very
great profit of the trust. Apparently
alarmed at the disclosures made and
fearful of the effect on the tariff bill, the
IVuiocrats put a story ail at that a lob
byist bad attempted to bribe a couple of
Senators one a I'emocrat, tin other a
Populist to vote again- that bill.
This tale Las a very gauzy apearance.
and to add to its probability the name3
of the senators as well as the lobbyist
were given to the public. The latter is
admitted to be a disreputable and power
less adventurer hailing from North I'a
kota, w hile the Senators are gentlemen
of such high character and standing that
no one for a moment believed that they
could be induced by a pecuniary consid
eration to vote against any bill, or to do
any other act, or that any one would
Lave the hardihood to approach then'.
It l.okg, moreover, as if the story was
started for a purpose, as the leading free
trade Mugwump j urnal of the country,
the New York Tn. , has truculently
proclaimed that no I'eoioc.atie Senator
can now refuse to support the biil with
out subjecting himself to the suspicion
of having been bribed. The Senate has
appointed a committee to investigate the
scandal, and it is to hi hoped that any
attempted wrong-doing from whatever
wirce it may have emanated will belaid
bare and its authors exposed and fitting
ly punished.
The effort of the IVmocrats to agree
npon and passa tariff bill of some sort
eti.l continues, a:id as weeks run into
months they are apparently no nearer
accomplishing their object than when
they tirst undertook the task. All pre
tense of passing a bill ' for revenue only"
has been cast to the dogs ; the cry that
protection is unconstitutional has been
abandoned, and the demanl for " free
raw materials" is no longer heard. lje
farce of framing a bill in accordance w ith
the enunciations of the Chicago platform
is played out, and all that is left of the
high sounding prouuueiamento in favor
"Urill" reform" is a desperate straggle
to protect the huge trusts tiiat own and
are controlling the party. With all its
boasted strength in both houses of Con
gress and w ith a President of its own
stripe in the Kiecutite mansion, it has
leeo compelled tu accept the Populists'
demand for a tax on incomes, as the only
means w hereby its overthrow can be
prevtnted. Never heretofore was a par
ty in so pitiful acondition, with its pledg
es abandoned, it throat in the grasp of
the trusts, w ith the w recked and ruined
industries of the country at its feet, and
a bankrupt treasury with largely dimin
ished and daily decreasing revenues to
contend with, faction running riot in its
lacks, and the wrath of the people rnnde
ininifest at each succeeding local election
its only remaining resource is trade and
barter. The Wilson bill is merely a dis
membered skeleton, and the bill that
will one day be foisted upon thee -.entry
as a "tariff bill for revenue only" will, to
the everlasting disgrace of the I eniocrat
ic party, carry on its every page the proof
of bribery and corruption.
The trary quilt cf the Senate is still
wiled "the Wilson bill," and the poor,
Eick man cannot Lelp it It reminds one
cf "the same old gun" alter the " lock

There is nothing but "the ramrod" k-ft to

Sweetening the Sugar Trust.
Ti&n the Chicfefo Inter ica
The original Wilson bill took good
care to protect distinctively Southern in
terests w hich were liable to be affect d
t-ytl.eur.2. It was the most scctiora!
tariff ever framed. The Senate has not
disturbs! this feature, but Las added to
it in compliance w ith the demands of
the trusts. They have been sweetened
to such an extent that they are all anx
ious for its passage. The Senatorial de
biteof Monday was occupied in discuss
ing the sugar duties, Mr. Tlatt, of Con
necticut, leading the way, ably seconded
by At. Allison. Both are experts in eco
nomic legislation.
The truth is that enormous profits
a wait the sugar trust if the bill as amend
ed becomes a law. The change would
not go into effect until the 1st of next
January, and in the meanwhile the crop
of ls;.4 w ould be harvested and manipu
lated. The excuse for putting off the
operation of that part cf the bill so long
was to eivethe Louisiana planters a
chance to pet for this years crop the
Iwunty provided by the McKinley act,
but that is only a very small part of w hat
the amendment would actually result in
do'ng, for there is no duty now on im
Krted raw sugar, and there would be af
ter January. The plan of the trust is to
buy up and import, prior to New Year's
Iay, all the unrefined sugar which the
country would need for at least twelve
months. Cuba and the other tropical
inlands of the New World would dump
their cane crops upon ns before that
time, and Kuropean beet sugar would
come over as ballast. The new duties
would be about 40 percent, which would
be addtd to the price, as a matter of
course. It is estimated that the trust
could realize in that way some $-.0,000,-00.
.radually the people are waking
np to the enormity of this proposet.
grab.
Much can be excused on the score of
isrnorance and the difficulty of figuring
out the real effect of a tariff change.
Many defects may be due to blunders.
Put the sug.ir business was no blunder.
It is a downright conspiracy to enrich
the createst trust in the country at the
expense of every man, w oman and child
ia the country, for sugar has become one
of the universal articles of food in Amer
ica. The humblest workingman expects
his family to use it freely. It is reported
that the four Populist Senators, Irby, of
South Carolina; reffer, of Kansas; Al
len, of Nebraska, and Kyle, of South
Dakota, w ill not vote for the bill w ith
this sugar steal in it, and that neither of
the I-ouisiana Senators w ill vote for the
bill with that amendment elimineted.
The equities of the case do not seem to
be considered by the leaders, but they
are greatly troubled by the conflicting
demands of those upon whom they de
pend fir the passage of the bill.

A RAGING FLOOD.
Ruin Wrought Throughout the
State.
The annual spring freshet, which this
year has developed a full-fledged flood, baa
kern thousands ot persons who live in the
yalleys along the rivers and crctksof Penn
sylvania in a great deal of anxiety since
Thursday last. A number of lives hare
been lost in the flood and several millions of
dollars worth of property have teen swept
away by the angry waters.
Johnstown and the famous Conemaugh
Valley are again the scene of the awful work
of water. Thousands of dollars' worth of
prcjerty has been laid waste, but fortunate
ly only two lives were lost. That part of
the city known as Woodvale, which was
completely wiped out in lss , when thous
ands of lives perished, presents a scene of
desolation, the rushing waters having car
ried away many borne and left ruin and
waste everywhere.
The flood came to Johnstown about two
o'clock Monday morning.
Policemen hastened from house to house
and aroused the inhabitants. Men and
women, rrtia!!y dressed, hurriedly dragged
children through the streets; people who
Lad friends in the lower portions of the city
ran to warn them, and the streets were full
of people. Most of those who sought safety
were soon comfortubly boused with friends
on Prospect or Westmont.
The Penn T ratio Company's buildings and
the Cambria Company's general otfices were
flooded from the basement to the first floors
arid $lrt,...i worth of goods was destroyed.
Loe, Sunshine i Co, are also heavy loosers.
i-even freight cars belonging to the P. R. R.
were carried off.
Four or five houses were lifted from their
foundations and wrecked by the current
From Conemaugh east, as far as Altoona,
the Pennsylvania railroad is in a deplorable
condition, tratlie being practically impossi
ble. Washouts of to K) feet are nu
merous. Just east of Lilly thousands of
feet of track are washed away. Between
the A. O. signal lower, near the deep cut,
acd the Mineral Point station, about three
and a half miles from Johnstown, l,.Vt) fett
of the Pennsylvania Pailroad Company's
four iraiks were washed out. The water,
instead of keeping in the channel, which is
a roundabout way, wore a new water course,
level with the channel, directly through a
deep cut.
The Pennsylvania railroad will not be in
shajie to resume business before the hitter
part of the week. All P. K. II. trains are
being run via the C. A O.
HfMisciox, May .To-day's great
ll jt d has been eicedeJ only once in the
j hi-ti.ry of the Juniata valley, the last four
day's rairtiV.l having ra:sed the Juniata
river and Uays:ou branch 21 feet above
low water mark and entailing great destruc
tion to property. In this place the waters
licK-.l ti e lower streets, driving the people
from their homes, and in the lower farming
districts whole families are imprisoned in
t.ieir houses, unable to be reached owing to
the turbulence of the streams. Three new
county bridges spanning the Juniata and
Raystown branch have been swept away.
The destruction of scores of minor bridges
and washouts on public roads have closed
all rural approaches to this place. The gas
company plant here is submerged and the
lortr Moors of many business houses fl ood
ed. Mrs Jacob Miller was drowned at Saxton
while trying to save some property.
A landslide at Hyde station, on the Penn
sylvania railroad, covered the track for the
distance of nearly a mile and a portion of
the track was washed away. Great damage
to projierty and farm lands along the Kays
town branch is reiiorted.
HoLLtnAY!iii Bo, Pa., May 20. The rains
whii li have continue! all day with but little
intermission have caused the Hood here to
take threatening projiortions. Tbe Juniata
river has ri-en four feet in the past two hours
and is still rising rapidly. The flood last
evening carried away the trestle work on the
Williamsburg railroad at Flowing Spriug
and the passengers were transferred from
this city to Williamsburg in carriages. The
bridge at McKees, on the Marlinsburg rail
road, has been displaced and is now being
cuarded by the railroad men. The cellars of
houses in Gaysport along the north bank are
ail tloooed, and if the rain continues the
water will reach tbe lower part of this city.
The district along the river is now all under
water and ail tbe low farms and truck gar
dens between this place and Frankstown are
submerged. The growing crops will be
damaged to the extent of thousands of dol
lars.
EtiMOHD, Pa., May 20. This city resem
bles the Thousand Islands to-day. At 2
o'c'otk this moruing the fireman werecalled
out to rescue tbe families in the flooded dis
tricts. Twenty families were removed to
places of safety. Cellars and first floors on
many business houses are flooded. Seventy
live feet of the Iioffilo, Rochester and Pitts
burg railroal bridges havs been saept away.
A panic was created this evening by the nn
founded report that the city reservoir, six
miles dis'ant in the mountains, was giving
away. Notwithstanding the aisured securi
ty, arrangements have been made t) warn
the city shoul a break occur.
The proj.ierty damage is now estimated at
jro,oi.
Will'am-pokt, May 20. This city is pas
sing through a state of fl ood excitement un
equalled since the memorable June 1, ls(.
when the river reached the unprecedented
height of feet and inundated two thirds
of tbe city. For forty-eight hours past rain
has been filling heavily throughout the west
branch watershed and to-night the river is
21 feel high anj rising rapidly. Toe condi
tions are shrou led in such unc;rtainty that
no man can predict what the night will
bring forth and the wildest and most ex
travagant rumors are afloat. Profiting by
the ixptrieuce of five years ago those in
prostn-ctive danger have spent the day re
moving their eliects to places of safety, and
this Sunday has been a bedlam ia Wiliiarns-l-ort.
The city never experienced a livelier
day. The scenes that were witnessed baffle
description. Thousands of men worked like
beavers removing goods to high ground or
to the upper stories of buildings, and the
rumble of heavy wheels, the shouts of ex
cited men and the ringing of alarm bells
broke the Sabbath stillness and made the
day a weird one indeed. Such a topsy-turvy
condition of household goods and merch
andise in store rooms was never before wit
nessed here.
Dog Kidnaps a Babe.
Shamoki, Pa., May 1. During a quar
rel between Anthony Kospile and bis wife
last night their 4 months old baby was
thrown from the kitchen window. A New
foundland dog. belonging to Joseph C. Ohaa
kies. passing at the time, picked the infant
np and carried tbe child to his kennel, pass

When the domestic differences in the
Kospiie household bad bsen adjusted, the
parents thought of their child. A search
for it began and was continued for two hour;
ra vain, luen a faint wail was beard from
tbeOhaskies kennel. Thither the father
ran and found the little one kicking in the
straw, while tbe big, good-natured dog
watched it and kept guard at the entrance
of his lowly borne.

THE TRUST'S $500,000.
The Price It Paid for a Favorable
Schedule in the Tarilf.
The Democrats are Responsible for
the'lntended Robbery.
The story in the New York JVe, the Phil
delnhia Prist and other papers which tells
at length the inside facts concerning tbe sur
render of the Democratic Administration
and the Democratic Senate to the Sugar
Trust was received in Wall Street with little
surprise by those who have known of the
intimate relations existing between the pres
ent Administration and the Sugar people.
The story shows the supremacy of the Sugar
Trust over the IVmocrats in Washington,
and it gives in full the operations of the
sugar magnates and their lobbyists from the
day of the Chicago Convention to the pres
ent time.
In Wall Street and financial circles the
the story as published is believed to bi truis,
and it is characterized as forming one of the
larkest scandals that any Administration
bad ever been taiuted with. The story is in
substance as follows :
Ia the National campaign of 1VJ2, the
Sugar Trust gave !5u0,it to the Democratic
campaign fund, in return for which the par
ty leaders pledged that, whatever the Demo
cratic policy might be in other respects, it
would not be one which would cause the
Sugar Trust to regard their interests in peril.
When the Tarilf bill was being discussed in
tbe House, and everything was not going as
the Sugar Trust wished, a tremendous influ
ence was brought to bear upon the While
House, and some of the managers of the
Trust called upon President Cleveland, Sec
retary Carlisle and Secretary Laniont, and
the assurance was given that the Adminis
tration would remedy what the House had
done.
Secretary Carlisle sent to Senator Voorhees
chairman of tbe Senate Finance Committee,
the draft of an amendment to the sugar
schedule of the Wilson biil, fixing the rate
on all sugars not above No. 1 Dutch stand
ard at -Ti l-er cent ad valorem.
At this time the Trust's lobbyists were
were at work, and Mr. Haveiueyer.the pres
ident of the Trust, was iu Washington,
where Administration Democrats Were con
stantly iu conference witb him.
These conferences were held in Mr. llave-
meyir's room at the Arlington Hotel, and
a. so in a room convenient. 10 luai oi me
Finance Commiim.-, a if finally the whole
ail'air was settled by the Senate abdicating
and leaving to the Sugar Trust the privilege
of pn jriug a sugar schedule.
At one cf these coiiferenceS it was stated
that the adoption of a "proper" sugar sched
ule would be followed by a rise of fully thir
ty points in Sugar Trust shares within thirty
days. It was ttieu that the Sugar Trust se
cured complete control over the Deaio. ratic
Senators. Various Senators began to specu
late, and they made juick turns" in sugar
certificates. Fortunes were mile by tbose
on the "inside," and tbe stock was niaui
pulateJ lu 111! the pockets of thestigar mana
gtrs aud the Democratic Senators.
The sugar p-eople have strained every
nerve to procure the passage of the bill as
amended, provided the sugar schedule does
not go into effect until January of next year
Contracts, it is saiJ, for vast amounts of su
gar in oluer countrits have been made. Tu;a
will be brought here and put iu bond
When it is re lined aud put upon the market
the new tarill' will be aJ led to the price, aud
it is estimated that the Suar Trust will
make a clear additional proii: of froul $25,-
iMi,V to $2' ooO.i.mO.
Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the
Sugar Trust, when seen iu reference to the
exposure of tbe relations between the Trust
aud the administration, said thai tbere was
not a word of truth in it. "It is au infamous
fabrication ; a downrinht lie," he said.
In the Cnited States Senate Taursd ly, the
resolution offered by Mr. Lodge for an invea
ligation of the recent newspaper publications
as to the alleged attempt to bribe twoSeaa-
tora to vole against the Tarid bill, aud as to
the sugar provisions in that bill having been
iuserted in consideration of the gift of half a
million dollars to the Democratic campaign
fund of lso2, was agreed to afier being
amended. It provides for a committee of
five Senators to investigate the charges ; to
inquire whether any contributions have
been made by the Sugar Trust to any politi
cal party for cimpaigo or election purposes,
or to secure or defeat legislation, aud wheth
er any Senator has been speculating in sugar
blocks during the pendency of the Tariff
bill. The committee appointed consists of
Messrs. Gray, Lindsay, Lodge, Davis and
Allen.
