KILE ELAND, PENN'A, JULY 22, 1807. The Keeking Tariff Bill. From the New York Journal. Instead of the glorious victory over the Sugar trust, upon which the house i tariff conferees woro congratulating j themselves and the country on Satur ( day, the conference had ended in an in glorious defeat. And not only has the defeat itself been Ignominious, but the circumstances attending it have been unspeakably disgraceful. On Saturday I the conferees allowed it to be understood that the senate had receded from its amendments framed in the interest of the trust, and that the house schedule would be adopted substantially in its original form. On the strength of tho impression sugar stock declined one per cent from the previous day's figures, and 10,405 shares were sold at from 133.'4 to 134 \. When the truth came out on Monday, and it was seen that the trust had secured substantially every thing the senate, had granted it, and iu some respects actually more, the rush for sugar turned into a Klondyke stam pede. Fortunes were made in live minutes surpassing anything that tie miners of the Yukon had amassed in :i year's struggle with ice and starvation. The, stock of the Sugar trust soared to Ml ~ the highest price on record, and the astute gamblers who had bought 011 Saturday cleared a profit of sll per share. In view of these facts, it is Impossible to resist the conclusion that the falsi' reports of Saturday were given out from the committee room for the purpose of influencing the stock market. Tin speculators who are moulding legisla tion at Washington for their own profit are not satisfied with the enormous gains they could make by the natural operation of their legal enginery. They must add the additional profits which their inside, position enables them 1• > garner from the dissemination of mis leading information. They would have had a good thing in simply holding sugar stock for a rise, but they bad a bettei one in first depressing the market to freeze out timid holders and then letting it boom. The congress of the United States was turned into an adjunct of a Wall street bucket, shop. That is the shameful fact that will stand out above | I all the other infamies of this disgrace ful episode. The Republican leaders have made a feeble effort to maintain the pretence that the conference report lias not fa vored the trusts, but the market belies them. There is no explaining away the stubborn fact that 110,000 shares of sugar stock were bought on Monday, on the strength of that report, at the high est price ever known. The conference report makes a pres ent to the trust of the $15,000,000 allow ed it by the senate bill on its imports of raw sugar already in stock. Mr. Dinghy admitted that gift in his speech, when lie said that "over $40,000,000 has been lost in this year's revenues by the im portation of wool and sugar and other I things, the duty on which was raised iu j the bill." Why, then, does he not advo j cato Secretary Dago's plan of recovering j that money by an internal revenue tax? | Is It because the Sugar trust has fore closed its mortgage on the Republican party? Dliml of Blood I'oimo 11 ill tc* From the Wilkesbarre Leader. Patrick Snell, one of the best known and most popular young men on the West Side, died at his home in Rrodrick Monday afternoon from blood poison. Some time ago he scratched a pimple with the point of a pin and this brought on the* malady which caused his death, typhoid-pneumonia, set in afterwards and that dread disease hastened his end. Deceased was 20 years of age. One month ago his father died. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, July 20, 1897. "Why doesn't John Sherman resign?" asked one Ohio man of another, after lie had been listening to some of the current talk about the manner iu which the old gentleman is slighted and hu miliated by Mr. Mclvlnley. That ques tion lias become one of the conundrums of the day and it has been discussed more frequently since the publication of the instructions given to Ambassador Hay, concerning the seal fisheries nego tiation. Although those instructions were signed "Sherman" there are few who believe that Secretary Sherman wrote them, and some who openly ex press a doubt as to whether he ever 1 even saw them previous to their publi j cation. There is nothing objectionable ' from an American point of view iu the ' facts upon which those instructions are j based, but the language is not that which one who lias been so long con nected with things diplomatic as Mr. j Sherman has been, by reason of his ser vice on the senate foreign committee, j would be apt to use. One gentleman I whose long and close Intercourse with j Mr. Sherman has made him thoroughly familiar with Lis style of expressing himself said: "I wi I stake my exis tence that Sherman neither wrote nor was given an opportunity to edit those instructions; also that lie knew nothing I of the intention to have thorn publish' j od." In view of this sort of talk, is it any wonder that men are asking why Sherman doesn't resign? Assistant Sec retary Day has had charge of all Cuban and Spanish matters ever since lie came to Washington, and he is the man credited with having written the llay i instructions; also the man slated to be secretary of state after the Ohio elec tion, when it is believed to be the inten tion to use pressure to force Sherman out of the cabinet. Mr. Sherman isn't tin* sort of man to have, made warm friends, but lie lias well-wishers who would like to see him upset the McKin ley-llanna-Day arrangements by resign ing now and telling why. But ollicial title is dear to Sherman. The expected has happened. The Re publicans of the tariff conference com mittee have agreed to cut out the senate j sugar schedule and insert the house j schedule with several changes of course, in the interest of the Sugar trust. The 1 result is just as I stated it would be. It. ! is heralded as a defeat of the Sugar | trust, and the agents of the trust are j doing their best to look disappointed, J while they are entirely satisfied, as the ! amended Dingley schedule gives them a little more than they expected to get, I although, of course, not everything they j wanted; they want the earth and the j fullness thereof. Now that the fancical j light in conference has boon concluded, j there is very little, doubt that the con ference. report will be accepted and the bill sent to Mr. McKinloy during the 1 present week. There may be a little ! delay in reaching'a vote on the report in the senate, as a number of senators wisli to express their opinion on several bunco schemes which were worked in the conference, notably the restoration of the $2 duty on white pine lumber, which will put a tax of something like $40,000,000 on the people fr the benefit of the white pine combine, and the re placing of cotton ties and bagging on the dutiable list. What has the Carnegie armor plate trust done, to the senate? While Demo crats are glad to see even one trust hit, they are at loss to know what it was that caused tin' senate to limit the cost of armor plate, to S3OO a ton and senators to inform members of the house that it was useless to add a cent to that limit, because the senate has fully determined that no more should be paid. Republi cans friendly to the Carnegie trust made a hard light for an increase in the house, but failed, and the trust will have to make armor for that price, or wait until congress authorizes the payment of | more. Mr. Carnegie should apply l" the Sugar trust for pointers on how to man age congress. Jerry Simpson says that Carnegie is being punished because of liis lack of liberality in contributing to llanna's corruption fund iu the last campaign. Terronce V. I'owderly, the ex-labor leader, has received Ids reward for mak -1 ing McKinley campaign speeches last year, by having his nomination to be commissioner general of immigration sent to the senate. Torrnnco was on t he anxious bench for quite a while, and in fact he had a very close call, owing to the opposition of the labor organiza tions to his appointment. NOTES AWHEEL.
