If Shakespeare were alive and writing about the sugar trust scandal he would probably make Puck say, "What cow ards these senators be," instead of, "What fools these mortals be." The Till man resolution has not been reported to the senate, but it is dead—killed by the fears of some senators and the absolute cowardice of others. An investigation is not wanted by either the sugar trust, or its legislative servants, and there are enough senators so wrapped in what they are pleased to call conservatism and respect for the honor of the senate who will join in voting against the resolution when it is reported to the senate to de feat it. Senator Jones, of Nevada, who Is chairman of the committee to which the resolution was referred, acted rather queerly. He first told Senator Tillman that the committee would repoit the resolution favorably, but now he is opposed to that action and has fallen back on the stock excuse that it is too important a matter to be hurriedly acted upon. There is, however, one consola tion in the situation. The sugar trust may escape the exposure that would fol low a through investigation, but it will also lose much of the money it would have gained by the sugar schedule it had inserted in tlio tariff bill by the Re publicans of the senate finance commit tee, as that schedule is as dead as a last year's bird nest. It is lighting hard, and the subject is one upon which crook ed work can easily be done, as a sugar schedule is of such a technical nature that it requires careful study oven on the part of experts to understand, and is Groek to ordinary folk. Senator Chilton, of Texas, a member of the interstate commerce committee, tho chairman of which has been so ac tive in trying to push the Foraker rail road pooling bill through the committee since the supreme court decision adverse to railroad pooling, took the side o,' Senator Butler, of North Carolina, when he declared that there had been •'inde cent haste" in pushing tho bill. Chair man Cullmn, of the committee, tried to deny theoaccusatlon by saying that tho committee has been considering a pool | ing bill long before tho supreme court decision. Senator Chilton said ho had been a member of the committee for two years but lias no knowledge of any attempt to press consideration of a pool bill until after the adverse decision of the supreme court. Senator Butler gave notice that, no railroad pooling bill could be acted upon by tho senate until the bill meeting the objection of tho supreme court to an income tax had been acted upon. Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, has been booming Representa tive Bailey, of Texas, for the presidency ever since they returned from their triumphant campaign for the election of a Democrat to fill tho vacancy in the Missouri delegation in the house. Mr. Bailey says ho has no presidential as pirations and is in favor of the nomina tion of Mr. Bryan in 1900, but wishes to -;erve one term as speaker of the house, and then to become a member of the senate, which he declares to be "the greatest legislative body in tho world." There has naturally been much talk about the very blunt warning given to Boss Ilanna by Senator Mantle, of Mon tana, in a speech on the wool schedule of the tariff bill. Mr. Mantle said the wool manufacturers wanted tho cream and were not only willing but anxious that only skim milk should bo served to the wool growers. He told Mr. llanua that unless the wool schedule was made satisfactory to tho wool growers ho would be retired to private life, instead of being returned to the senate. Ilannn is beginning to show that he has fears of its turning out that way regardless of what the tariff bill may or may not con tain. Republican ox-congressmen are tak ing about any old tiling of an office that comes within their reach these days. Tho latest catches in this line were ex- Congressman Andrews, of Nebraska, who lias been nominated to be auditor for the treasury department, and ex-Con gressman Brown, of Pennsylvania, who lias been nominated to be auditor for the war department. Mr. McKinley lias nominated Ellis 11. Roberts, of New York, to bo United States treasurer to please Boss Piatt and his machine, and lias nominated Conard N. Jordan (for a second term) to be assistant treasurer at New York to please the Hold Democrats of Wall street. It Is a case of attempting to carry water on both shoulders. Tho Tillman hii 1 giving states the same coutrol over liquors imported into their borders which they exercise over liquors of domestic n anufactiire has been favorably reporter to the senate. It is intended to in part meet the recent decision of a Federal court against the South Carolina dispensary law. THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER. A minister in England made $50,000 by inventing an odd toy that danced by winding it with a string. Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams was ther authoress of the grand hymn "Nearer My God to Thee." This lady was born in Cambridge, Eng., February, 1805. To impart a refreshing odor to an invalid's room, pour some good cologne into a soup plate and set fire to it with u lighted match. The best quality of maple sirup conies from the nortli side of the tree, but the flow is not so large as when the tree is lapped on the south side. In China the man who lives nearest to the scene of a murder, if the perpe trator is unknown, is suspected of the crime, and is required to prove his in nocence. Domestic troubles caused the coro ner at Thenilworth, England, to close his career with his own hand, and a coroner's inquest was held upon the coroner. Among the possessions of F. M. Grover, a blind justice of the peace, of Topclca, are 100 razors. Although sightless, lie can identify each razor by the touch, and distinguish the case to which it belongs. An exasperating blunder was made by a young lady elocutionist in Inde pendence, Kan. While reciting "Cur few Shall Not Ring To-Night," she mixed tiwo words in the climax, thus: " 4 Go, your liver loves,' said Cromwell." Tlie crown of Victoria consists of diamonds, pearls, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, set in silverond gold. Its gross weight is 39 ounces 5 penny weight troy. The number of diamonds are 3,*152; pearls, 273; rubies, 9; sap phires, 17; emeralds, 11. An abused wife im Kansas City sought legal redress against her husband, for "harsh, cruel, barbarous and unbenr able treatment." On the trial it was shown that he came home mad one night and threw her sealskin into the furnace. A celluloid comb adorned the hair ot Miss Maud Parks, of Lock Raven, Md., | . as she sat close to a stove. The comb suddenly burst into flame, and an ac quaintance prevented serious injury by promptly emptying a bucket of water over her head. FOREIGN HAPPENINGS. Gold quartz in large quantities lias been discovered at Asmara in the part Erythraea still held by Italy, accord ing to the Rome Tribuna. French statue builders have now gone back to the "Romance of the Rose" and are trying to raise money for a monu ment to Jehan de Meung, who was the author of a part of the j>oem. Lady Foley, the last of Queen Vic toria's bridesmaids, save Lord Rose berry's mother, the duchess of Cleve land had just died. She was a How ard, the daughter of the thirteenth duke of Norfolk. Hamburg steauvdiip companies had a prosperous year in 1890, ten out of thir teen companies paying not less than four per cent, dividends, and six of them six percept, or more. This comes after many years of small or 110 earn ings. Paris and Madrid will soon, bo con nected by telephone, tlie construction of a line from Paris to Bayonne having recently been determined upon. As Madrid is already connected with San Sebastian, it will be only necessary then to join that place with Biarritz. One of the goat, carts in which chil dren drive the Champs Ely sees is now labeled: "Gift of the President." The owner's goat was killed some months ago by one of M. FaureVi dogs, and to make up for the loss Mine. Faure gave the woman lier little grandson's goat and curt. There will be no war between Reuss Greiz and Prussia over the respect due to the late Emperor William. The reigning prince of Reuss lias dismissed cue ofiicial who obeyed orders in not observing the recent anniversary, and lias himself drunk the present emper or's healtli in public. Newspapers may now be sold in the streets in all ports of Hungary, save Transylvania, the prohibition, which dates from 1848, having been repealed. Papers, however, must not lie solll by cripples or persons likely to olTend the sight of the public, nor by children un j der 14 years of age. Children Cry for i Pitcher's Castoria. NEWS OF THE WEEK.
