New York, Dec. 19.—William Loeb, | jr., collector of the port of New York, | has approved the claim of Richard | Parr, the deputy collector and origi- nal informer in the sugar ‘rauds, to | half of the $2,135,480 paid into the | United States Treasury by the Amer- ican Sugar Refining Company as re- stitution for duties evaded by under- weighing. According to the statutes regulating-such awards, Parr will re- ceive ‘“‘not exceeding in amount one- half of the net proceeds.”’ Mr. Loeb approved the claim only after a thorough investigation by Harrison Osborne, solicitor of the customs. He held that the claim was valid because Parr discovered a steel spring which was used by the com- pany’s checkers to influence the weight of draughts of sugar adverse- ly. This laid bare the scheme to de- fraud, and it was due to the evidence obtained as the consequence of this discovery that the jury in the civil suit against the company last spring gave a verdict of guilty, which was followed by the paying of the penalty, $135,486.32 and the restitution of -2 million dollars following.

I requested ev- ery paper that I asked to publish the law, to call the people’s attention to the fact that we did not want them under any consideration to send in petitions with over 10 per cent if they sent in any. Then Bro. Borron fail- ed to call your attention especially to the salary of the Ex-Officio Surveyor that would be appointed, his salary would be not less than three dollars and not more than five dollars a day for each day that he was actually employed, and not five dollars and fifty cents for each working day of the year, not counting out any time for some busi- ness of his own, that every body sure- ly has, nor for sickness or visiting, just straight seventeen hundred dol- lars a year, office and supplies fur- nished by the taxpayers. Now in conclusion I am not trying to take any sneaking or undermining way of getting him out of office, as ag sg ron wo told him not one month ago, . cae one, would vote against paying him any such salary as he was receiving, that he was making more money than one out of every hundred was that was working twice the hours that he was to pay him.

The talk that the Republican Na- tional and Congressional committee will take an active part in the coming election in the Sixth Missouri Con- gressional District to fill the vacancy caused by the tragic death of Con- gressman David A. DeArmond has occasioned some gossip as to what the corresponding Democratic organiza- tions -will do in the matter. Colonel Moses C. Wetmore, National Commit- teeman for Missouri, said there was no doubt of proper party support in the fight. “TI am sure,” said Colonel Wet- more, “‘that Mr. Mack, the chairman of the Democratic: National Commit- tee, and Mr. Lloyd, chairman of the Congressional Committee, are not un- mindful of the importance of electing a successor to the late Mr. De- Armond, and will lend such assistance as in their power. If our Republican friends pursue their old-time tactics —boodle, bluster and brag—we shall not want to meet them along these lines, but shall rely on the loyalty, patriotism and intelligence of the vot- ers of that district. : “The district is reliably Democrat- ic, and there can be no doubt but that the Democrats will put forward their strongest man, and the Sixth District is rich in splendid Democratic ma- terial. The Democratic nominee ought not only to receive every Dem- ocratic vote in the district, but should receive the votes of many Republi- cans, who are not satisfied with that atrocity, the ae tariff bill. “Republican leaders and their newspapers throughout the country seem to be very much afraid of the reappearance of the tariff issue, but this issue, like Banquo’s ghost, ‘will not down.” “The Democratic standard-bearer will not only discuss the tariff, but will tell about the enormous sugar frauds, useless expenditures of pub- lic moneys and such other things as the voters may want to hear about.’’ The Warrensburg Journal-Demo- crat has heard of some of the Repub- lican politicians urging that one of their party be sent to Congress in or- der to be in harmony with the ma- jority in the House. The Warrens- burg paper does not know what would develop if that course were pursued, and indicates that the Sixth District might dig up a_real live “in- surgent.” Where is he, Kapp? Trot the gentleman out, for we’ve never heard from any, of them yet. They are keeping quiet as far as the individuals are concerned, and a press is greedily devouring the “ ned’”’ editorials from the Deering bureau as rapidly as the weeks roll around. If they can stand for that kind of buncombe, as “‘reactianary”’ it is; they would be too tame as ‘fnsurgents” to run into a cedar grove torub the horse flies off. If they are the real articles as “‘insur- — they are high strung and ac- a common house Yes—organized, alr ‘Cainnon- ized, Deeringized, and worst of all, it be able to harmonize, so can the vic- tim harmonize with the fellow to whom he has just handed a well fill- ed wallet.
