"Of course, Mr. Havemeyer was full of sugar naturally," said Mr. Terrell, of the Sugar Trust, to the Senato Committee, speaking of the occasion when Senator Brice took an easy lesson in sugar schedules from the rich refiner. Nothing * improper was said, of course —they merely talked sugar. Then Senator Smith of New Jersey, came in and ho also got full of sugar. In the course of a few days so many Senators had taken to getting full of sugar that even the Democratic majority of the Finance Committee of the Senate got sweet on the Sugar Trust. So great, indeed, did the Senatorial interest in sugar become that a number of Senators even sought sugar investments in Wall street. Thus we see that one man being full of sugar was the cause ot fullness in many others, and there would have been still more saccharine deals no doubt, had it not been that the walls of Mr. Terrell's room had ears. But to get full of sugar, it seems, is very dangerous—even sweets to the sweet may sour the stomach and sicken the whole man. Senator Gorman has been seriously ill for days, and for no reason, apparently, except that he allowed himself to get full on sugar, and now Senator iloPherson is also reported ill, because he was filled up with sugar without knowing it. Indeed, the health and temper of the entire Senate was affected by the chemical changes due to overfullness ot sugar. It is much to be regretted that on the occasion when he met Senator Brice at Mr. Terrell's room Mr. Havemeyer should have been full of sugar, whether naturally or unnaturally. It has turned to bile on the stomachs of the august fathers of the Senate, and we hear of Mr. Hale talking about the mendicants of Louisiana and of Mr. Cafferty resenting the epithet, while the fiery Mills, we are told, "hurled back in defiance the shafts of Mr. Hale and Mr. Hoar." Even the angelic Senator Harris loses his temper, and it is to be fear ed that sweetness is no longer in the hearts of Senators Vest and Jones. All this sourness and bitterness is due to the faot that when Mr. Havemeyer was full of sugar many Senators allowed themselves to get full also. —Phil'a Inquirer. SKITATOR QUAY was the only Republi can Senator who voted for the Democratic sugar schedule, which passed the Senate last week. He is reported to have ex plained his vote to an inquirer by saying that he voted in favor of protection to sugar. Bat the fact is the schedule which he thus supported decreased the protection of the producers of raw sugar in this coun try under the MoKinley act, while increas ing the cost of sugar to the consumers of the United States. The present law gives the producers of sugar a protection of 2 cents, while the pending bill will give a less proteotion it imposes the cost on every pound of sugar that is to be con nnmxl uk tkW ootttey. The plooa where the proteotion is increased is on the Sugar Trust's production. The McKinley act gives the Trust half a cent of protection, whioh every observer has seen to be ex cessive, but the schedule for which our Senator voted increases that margin to from 55c to per hundred pounds, which is a wholly gratuitous gift. More over the sole purpose ot protection being to stimulate the competition of domestic industry, protection to a combination which stifles domestic competition is a be trayal of the purpose cf the protective policy. The Coal Strike. iome years ago, when natural gas was poured out of numberless wells in such quantities that manufacturers used it with reckless prodigality, a hope was entertain ed that although the supply might cease the lessons learned in its consumption wonld not be lost. These lessons were not of a very advanced kind; they simply went to show that gaseous fuel was supe rior to solid, that it was more manageable, and gave better produots, but no lesson of economy of fuel was taught. Manufac turers went on in their usual way without a thought for the future. The last six weeks have been occupied with occurrences whioh, grave in the so oial aspect, have brought the fuel question prominently forward in all its crudities. A. strike among coal miners in fourteen States and two Territories has been in pro gress. The central western region, includ ed in a general way in the quadrangle de filed by Chioago, Birmingham, Pittsburg and St. Louis, is the region most affected. The coal on hand approaching exhaus tion, 175,000 men on strike, deeds of vio lence of frequent occurrence, the poor in oitief paying three and four times the*usu al price for a bucket of coal, were features of the strike that made its seriousness evident. Large numbers of the miners are foreigners and of the most excitable nature, and liable to be carried almost any distance by their feelings. The cause of the strike is oae which brings into strong perspective the fuel ques tion. The miners desire a uniform rate to be established to be paid them for ooal as mined. This rate is 75 cents a ton. In some places the miners have received but 42 cents a ton in others 50 cents. Their request seems far from exorbitant It is clear that the prioe asked by them is but little for the amount of combustible mat ter represented by the long ton of coal. So cheap a rate of extraction would imply a very good condition of things for the consumer. Bnt it is not altogether so. When the miner is paid for the coal which he has cut from the breast of his working, the smallest part of the cost of the coal is provided for. The ooal has to go through preparation, more or less ex pensive, before delivery to the consumer, and it has to be transported from the mines to the furnace and faotory. All this adds greatly to its cost. An addition of twenty five cents to the ton would mean far more at the mine than it would two hundred miles distant. To the miner it means an increase of wages of fifty per cent; to the distant consumer it would mean an in crease in price of ten per cent or less.— Scientific American. FIFTEEN member* of the Denver Con tingent ot the Coxey army were drowned in the Platte last Friday, by the finking of one of their boats. SEVESTY-OHB railroad companies operat ing one fifth tho railway mileage of the country went into the bands of receivers last year. Hundreds of other corporations engaged in mercantile or manufacturing operations also became bankrupt. An en ormous mass of capital is tied'up in these concerns, and the of affecting their fi nancial reorganization is seriously taxing the wisdom and resources of the banking end business community. The Vice of Idleness. There is perhaps no greater vice in this world than idleness. According to a re cent writer in the Arena there are in this country twenty millions of workers,includ ing the women, who put in long, servicee ble days in onr homes; and the total wealth produced annually by all classes of labor ers, including professional men, is about twenty billions each year, or SI,OOO for each worker. This is the product after deducting repairs and material. Now, there are at least one million people, able to work,who are wholly idle, and the wage earners as a body are idle about one-tenth of the working days in a year, which is equivilent to two million* idle the whole year round; which, added to the one mil* lion absolutely idle, makes idleness cost this country three million times SI,OOO, or three billion a year. There are about ten million more, mostly women, who spend their time shopping and flirting, and in what they call "pleasure," and who would be infinitely happier it they had something useful to do, of whose capabilities society does not avail itself. Idleness costs this country at the low est possible estimate, three billions a year. Another billion is spent uselessly for in toxioating drink. Two billion more might be produced were the energies wasted in gambling and other fraudulent and useless employments devoted to productive indus tries. We do a good deal of kicking about ava rice, and the thirst for gold, but, my son it is the desire for wealth that makes men work, and it is work that produces the good things wherewith life is made worth living. To be sure the desire for money causes men to do evil things—to lie, cheat, rob and murder. But it also causes men to study hard to become good physicians, preachers, writers, lawyers, artists and me chanics, and it nerves the arm of the day laborer to pursue his toil. Why do people want fameT Because, as a rule wealth fol lows. He is a shallow and superficial rea soner who attributes the woes of this world to avarice, or a desire for gain. Without that spur to human activities we would be as languid and worthless as Hot entots. It is of course the desire for gain that : causes corporations to grind their employes But it is also that desire which causes them to engage in productive enterprises. It is the desire for gain that causes work men to ignore the interests ot their fellow wage-earners by taking theirjplaces when they go on a strike. But it is the same desire which causes all men to engage in useful employment and fill the world with good things. Blot out of the human heart their thirst for wealth—this selfish desire for gain, which arlarge class of self-appointed proph ets predict is leading this country to ruin, and what incentive would there be to la bort That self-love which creates a de sire in a man to place himself and wife and children beyond the reach of want, is what makes him hustle. No matter in what a man engages—whether it is a business enterprise, editing a newspaper, practic ing law or medicine, preaching the gospel, or by day's labor, the measure of his abili ty and usefulness is guaged by the amount of money he can earn. Idleness, as we have shown, is the great est of all vices, and the penalty for it is death. The Creator has so ordained mat ters that, from the lowest organism to the highest, exertion ia the price of life. And in this fight for snbsistance mental ener gies count far more than physical activit ies. In the fierce competition caused by this struggle for existenoe much strife is created aad much injustice i« done. Many men are forced into degrading drudgery, and nearly all the lower animals are either enslaved or slaughtered for food. It is the way of all nature. The strong devour the weak. "Tbo fig fioli vat tho ltHlo and all life is a struggling, groaning mass. There is but one remedy for it all, and ttat is through education—such develop- ment of the heart and brain as will inspire men with love for every living creature, and which will cause them to exert their best energies for the happiness and wel fare of all. To howl calamity and revolu tion, and predict bloodshed and destruc tion, is calculated only to brutalize and degrade. It is love and enlightenment that must finally redeem the world, and not the soars and wounds of tooth and claw.—Punxsutawney Spirit. THE great electric light whioh was ex hibited at the World's fair is to be placed in a light house at Sandy Hook. It was tried on Monday night and so intense and far reaching was the light that places far down tte Jersey coast were plainly visi ble and it is claimed that it can be thrown as far as Philadelphia. That light will probably be useful at Sandy Hook but where it is needed is at Washington to throw some light on the sugar schednle investigation, and by its rays guide the ship of State off the rooks of Democratic incompetency and surrender to the sugar and other trust*. The Republican majori ty in the next Congress will furnish the crew and William McKinley or Thomas B. Reed will be the ooromander. Washington Notes. On Thursday the debate in the Senate, on the tariff bill was oontinued, Quay ob jecting to the debate being limited, but the only thing done during the day was to fix the rate on oatmeal at 15 per cent. There was a good deal of temper shown fn the Senate during Friday's tariff debate. Senator Harris was unusually crusty and irascible. During a speech of Senator Cul lim, the hot-headed old Tennesseean got up and charged the former with filibuster ing and delay. This made Mr. Cullom very angry, and he retorted. '■lf you will move to lay your internal tariff bill on the table, I will agree to take a vote now." Mr. Ferrell of Cleveland, a member of the Sugar Trust, was before the investi gating oommittee, that day, but what his evidence was is not known as the investig ation is secret. It is not at all likely that the "colored person in this sugar barrel" will be discovered by the oommittee. Monday, the Republicans had some fun with the Democrats in the Senate, over the collars and cuffs schedule. Senator Mur phy, of New York, was conveniently ab sent from the chamber, and did not hear the sarcastic flings at the schedule which he had framed. Other Demoorats pres ent seemed to enjoy the performance, among them Senator Mills, who could view with complaisance the imposition of nearly 100 per cent, duty upon collars and cuffs as these artioles of attire are not much in demand down in Texas. Senator Piatt was in an unusually sar castic and facetious mood. His text was tariff reform, and the evolutions of that policy since it went into the House in the shape of the Wilson bill. He enumerated the various surrenders of theories by the Democrats, and paraphrasing the old saw about scratching a Russian and finding a Tartar, said, "Whenever you scartch a protection amendment you find a Demo crat." The rapidity with which the cotton schedule was disposed ot made the "Dis mal Dolph," of Oregon, fairly howl with envy. He wanted to know how New Eng lang industries could be taken care of while those of the Pacific slope were ruin ed. He learned that, since it is apparent that the bill is going through the Senate, Republicans are using every endeavor to get concession* for their districts. Assis ted by New England Democrats, Senator Aldrich and Senator Boar secured a now cotton schedule which the former stated was the most technical ever framed. While the rates are lower than in the pre» »nt law, the gradation of the duties is mule so advantageously that the schedule U luiily satisfactory. On Tuesday, Senator (juay resumed the reading of his great ?p»ech, and read for three hours. The Strikes. Last Thursday the police at McKeesport and the strikers had their first set to. The strikers met near the mayor's office to hold a mass meeting and were dispersed with out much trouble by the regular and special police. The National Tube Works Co. stated that they would not try to run their plant at present, and two hundred of the business men of the city held a meet ing and advised the men to go to work at the old wages. At Punxsntawney the Berwir.d-Wbite Company erected at the Horatio mine bar racks 10 by 100 feet with shed roof. No tices were posted notifying the miners that those desiring to return to work should apply by letter or in person by Fri day at 10 o'clock oi otherwise consider themselves discharged. The men paid no attention to them. The scale offered is 35 cents, the same that was paid before the strike, end the price asked was 45 cents. The Berwind-White people operate five collieries at Horatio and three at Anita. The English speaking miners and the con servative elements among the leaders had much trouble in preventing the foreigners from making an attack on the armed offi cers. If any attempt is made to introduce non-union men no power on earth witl pre vent a battle. At Walston the foreigners built several nondescript cannon, made to throw scrap, spikes, etc., at short range. They have screw-plugged several sections of four-inch pipe, which they have jacketed with strap bands of steel. There are also a number of bombs in possession of the Slav strik ers. Everything was quiet at McKeesport Friday, and the mills were guarded by the sheriff The Pittsburg Coal operators hold a stormy meeting, Friday, and adjourned without agreeing as to the recognition of the Miners Union. At Boggs run, West Va strikers held up a coal train on the B. A 0., the sheriff of the county asked tor troops, and Gov. Mac- Corkle ordered out five companies. The conference of the opeiators of Mer cer, Lawrence, Beaver and Butler counties which met in Mercer Saturday, was not very largely attended,aud alter a star cham ber session of several hours duration, ad journed to meet Tuesday. There was not-a sufficient number present to warrant a pro position ot settlement to be made and no business was transacted. Both operators and miners are willing to settle. The unexpected happened K Punxsutaw ney last Saturday. That morning a spe cial train on the Pennsylvania and North western railway passed through, having on board about 200 Slavs, Hungarians and Italians obtsined in New York and else where. They were landed at Eureka No. 5 mine, at which squads ot police had been on guard for several days. The excite ment among the lorelgn element in the mining population was intense and not withstanding the English speaking miners were outspoken against the use of violence there was danger that the foreigners could not be kept under control and that an at tack might be made on the newcomers at any time. A conflict between the miners, the guards and the new men was almost certain to occur. A large force of carpen ters was engaged in erecting additional barracks for the use of the guards and the new men. A battle between seven armed deputies and a mob oi 300 strikers occurred Sun day morning at 9 o'clock at the Lemon t No. 2 works of the McClure Coke Company two miles north of Uuioutown. One strik er, a Slav, was killed instantly, and two other Slavs were fatally wounded. The deputies were surrounded and fired upon by the strikers before they shot. Ou Monday, Gov. McKinley called out the sth and 14th regiments to preyeiit fur ther bridge burning ou the Lorain K R Another bridge had been burned and a trestle 60 feet long had been blown up with giant powder. The Berwind White Co. put 200 non union men to work in their Horatio miue in Jefferson C0.,with,250 armed men guard ing the mine and nothing happened that day as th 6 strikers were waiting to hear from Columbus. Gov. Pattison notified the Colonels oi the 15th and 16th regiments to be ready for duty In two hours notice. The conference of operators and miners of the district, embracing part of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and eastern and northern Illinois, at Columbus, Ohio, Monday, effected a settlement of the strike so far as that distriot is concerned, and so important is the district in the bituminous coal industry, that this was regarded as practically a settlement of the national The Scale Committee, which adjourned at 12 o'clock Saturday eight, unable to agree, resumed work that morning and was in session all day with occasional in tervals to permit the miners to retire to confer. A 6 o'clock the committe agreed upon a report. It is the 60 and 69 cent per ten compromise, proposed by the operators at the outset of the conference. The miners secured just half the advance they asked for. The second conference at Mercer, Tues day of the miners and operators of Butler, Mercer and other counties broke up with out accomplishing anything The miners wanted 60 cents and the operators offered 55. The scale adopted at Columbus O. Mon day is not satisfactory to the miners of the Pittsburg and other districts and may be repudiated by them 3000 negroes will be put to work at the Prick and oilier Westmoreland Co o»k<i works, and the foreigners will be com pletely got rid of. There are already 1.500 negroes at work and on tr e grouud. Two more bridges were burned on ihe Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad Wednes day afternoon at Fuller's mine, two mile< east ot Sherrodsville. The company as. sumed that the strike was over and uiov<i<i one train of West Virginia coal. The c» boose was barely out of sight ot Sherrods ville when the bridges were burned down and the telegraph cut. THE excuse offered by some largo coal operators for the oppression of the miners is that they want to take care of the con sumers of coal. There is nothing so dia bolical in the nature of coal comsumers in general that they want the men who eu gage in the difficult and dangerous pur suit of coal mining grouud down to the lowest notch of penury. It saerru to us that a general wage system could be agreed upon by the operators that would put an end to wasteful and disasterous Btrines, and be better for all concerned. Were the enormous waste caused by fierce competition between the operators, and the great losses occasioned by strikt8 j devoted to the purpose of making com fortable the men engaged in mining coal, it would certainly be infinitely better lor the operator, the miner, and the consumer. When there is as much human misery as the production of coal engenders there is surely something wrong, which the opera tors, had they an honest zeal to do so, could easily get together and correct.— Ex. Sweetness and Light. Some Congressmen, one day in June, Lined up in Uncle Sam's saloon. Then spoke a U. S. Senator — "What are we fellows in here fort" Then satd his fellows, "Well, we think We only tariff for a drink." And each man smiled upon his mate— "Toddy?" the bar-keep said, "or straight?" Then every statesman in the line, Replied, "A little 'Shag.' in mine." But one, from far-off Jersey's shore, Who stood convenient to the door, "Some 'Shag' in mine," soft whispered he, "But mix it unbeknownst to mo." Then lightly coughed behind his hand. And joined the Senatorial baud. Then out they filed, with steps elate, Stying: "It's all upon the Slate." And laughed until you'd thongbt they'd "bust," To see the sign hung up. "No Trust."
