The proposition of a beet sugar bounty was broached by Senator Gear, of Iowa, who proposed that a bounty be given of one-half cent per pound per annum, decreasing at the rate of one-tenth of a cent a year for five years, when the bounty should cease The suggestion was opposed by several Eastern Senators as being baBed upon an objectionable system. It was supported by Senators Gear, Thurston, and Shoup. The two last named Senators in their speeches dwelt especially upon the necessity for a bounty in case the sugar was to continue to come in free, saying that with the competition of Orient al labor, by, which the island sugar was produced, it would iinyos sible to establish the beet sugar in dustry in the Uuited States without Borne such encouragement as a bounty would give. They took oc casion iucidentlr to score the Ha waiian reciprocity treaty as a blight upon American industries and to ex press the hope that if ennexntiou should fail the reciprocity treaty would 1 ciiueeled forthwith. Tliere was Mich determined op position to the bounty plan thutMr. Gear first reduced the ligure to one- fourth of a cent a pound, and then withdiewit entirely, without risk ing a vote on it. Water Wcrks Esfeatci The proposition to construct wa ter works for protection against the ravaces of fire was defeated by a vote of the citizens to the tune of 43 to."). Only 98 votes were polled cleat ly indicating that not all voted. The water works proposition was killed more because the people fear ed a "job" than on account of their real opposition to the raovunicut. Some of course were really op posed to the movement while a larg er number, judging from sentiment expressed, feared that the contract would be given to a corporation, others thought that the erection of a school house and the construction of a water plant would involve a burdensome amount of taxation. While we think that this logic is fallacious, we must bow to the in evitable and submit to tho will of those who voted. It simply prolongs tie time when we can hope to have protection auainst lire and save our pioj ei ty against total destruction. Aliens liust Pay Tares- Governor Hastings has approved the Mitchell bill providing for the payment taxes by aliens. The act requires that all corporations, as sociations, companies, firms or in dividuals employing persons who are not citizens of the United States shall, upon the receipt of a written notice from the tax collector of tho district, deduct from the wages of such employes a sum sufficient to pay the respective amounts of taxes assessed against each and pay it to the collectors of the district in which Eaid aliens are employed within six ty days after notice. Business Men and Politics. The signs point to the fact that the busiuess men of the country have become very restless over the failure of the law-making bodies to take notice of the present depress ing conditions, and to frame reiue dies which will partially overcome the evils. The business people have at lensth awakened to the fact that office holding has become a profession, and that the workings of - practical politics frequently clash with the real business interests of the coun try. Nj mat tor how the mercantile world is suffering, or how zsany tradesmen are losing money, the sal aries of those iu office go ou. The hardships which fall to the lot of the business man and the masses, skip them. There is, therefore, not that incentive for action that there would be if they wore among the victims of staguant times and depressed confidence. In every community there can be pointed out men who have held of fice for a few years, and on moder ate salaries have rethed with hand some competencies. These fortunes mostly represent illegal gaius, as the pocketing of fees which should have gone to the community. Expensive government means high taxation, and the business man is tho first to feel its depressing ef fects. While times were good and the country prosperous, the average business man did not care to bother with politics. In the scramble for money tho ways of politicians pass e 1 imuoticed. The restlessness cf the business iuterests and the growing tendency of this class of citizens to take an interest in matters of politics is a healthy and hopeful sign. It indi cates thai the busiuess world t ea Iizos that the only way to secure good laws is to have good men to frame them. ,A Warning for Officials In the paper last week one can read of a prosecution just finished in Schuylkill county against officials for spending public funds illegally and several thousand dollars are to be charged back to the officers and be refunded by them or go to the penitentiary. Ssores of such prose cutiousin the past have resulted, in the same way against borough, town ship and county officers. At this very time one entire school board is serv ing a term in the penitentiary, and in another case the mayor and town council some three weeks ago were put to jail for illegal actions. Let this serve as another warn ing; officers who think they can recklessly spend the people's money because they own no property, should bear in mind. that the penitentiary is before them, on the complaint of any one or more taxpayers.
