The = he Senate and the Trust Speaker Reed's emphatic assertions with regard to the Senate sugar schedule are en- titled to the warm commendation of every republican in the country, for he is seeking to prevent the commission of a blunder fatal to the party. It is immaterial whether the Senate conferees resent his attitude in the matter or not. Their own attitude is subject to much severer criticism, for if it should result m the surrender of the House the party now in power will surely feel the resentment of the people at the next elections. The sugar schedule as originally pre- pared by the Senate sub-committee was outrageously partial to the Trust. It was received with expressions of angry protest from ali classes of citizens, from party managers, from voters, business men and newspapers of influence and standing. This storm of indignation caused the man- agers of the bill in the Senate to turn in their tracks and a substitute schedule was presented and adopted. It appeared on Its face to be much less favorable to the Trust, but it was so involved in Its terms, so confused in its phraseology and so technical that few persons could under- stand it or appreciate its ultimate effects. Wall street, however, understood it. The speculators recognized that even when disguised as a compromise the new sched- ule was designed for the sole sake of the Sugar Tru: and when word was wired to New York from Washington that the Senate conferees were standing firm in their refusal to yield on that point, and that the Senate schedule would probably be adopted, the stock of the American Sugar Refining Company, which is the official name of the Trust, went up to an unprecedented point and remains there to this hour. Wall street bases its speculations on a shrewd knowledge of men and measures. It has seen the Senate conferees win not- able victories in the past. It has seen the House back down abjectly before the asser- tion that the bill in the hands of the Sen- ators was the only measure that could pos- sibly pass the upper house. That pretense has been worked until it is threadbare, but it still prevails as a potent influence. Wall street knows, too, that the Sugar Trust Is possessed of powerful influences in the Sen- ate and the conference committee repre- senting that body. It knows that Senator Aldrich is the author of the original sched- ule that provoked so much righteous wrath, and probably the inventor of the alleged compromise that has sent the stock flying Heavenward. It knows as well that Sen- ator Jones, whose vote is the dividing line between the two pariies both in the Finance Committee and in conference, is the most persistent fighter for the last item of advantage for this insatiable mo- nopoly. Wall street bases its calculation, too, upon its acquaintance with the wide-reach- ing power of the Trust, and its disposition to take a hand in every department of the government, if necessary, to further its sellish interests. It has seen the tentacles of the Trust stretched forth to choke the Hawaiian reciprocity arrangement, and it has seen the same long, powerful arms go out to grapple with the annexation treaty and kill it. It has witnessed the subjuga- tion of the American beet sugar grower to interests of the Trust, thinly disguised ier the name of another corporation. It seen the influence working, in short, in the domestic affairs of the people, in the Management of political parties, in the ad ministration of the government, in the making of its laws and in the formation of its foreign policies. It knows that the Sugar Trust acknowledges no barriers, no limitations. There is no wonder, then, that the specu- lating circies place great confidence in the ability of the Trust t@ pull through this emergency. But Speaker Reed has likewise correctly guaged the power and influence of the Trust and the evils that are sure to fall upon any political party that pub- licly espouses its cause and aids it in its enterpris He has put forth his hand to save his party from this disaster, and it is a compliment to him and a confession of their own questionable policy for the Senate conferees to protest against the interjection of his influence into the affair. As Speaker of the House, as the legislative leader of his party and as one of that party's ablest men he has every right in the world to advise his colleagues of the conference committee and to seek to pre- vent an act of political suicide. —_- +02 -—_ The London editorialists who seek to draw terrifying pictures of Japan's equtp- ment for naval warfare only demonstrate the desirability of holding Hawaii as a buffer to protect San Francisco. —— 202 —__ Result ut Louisville. The he meeting of the gold democrats of Kentucky in state convention at Louisville yesterday was in point of numbers and in the eminent character of its leadership all t the country had been led to and enthusiasm marked the ngs, and the action taken insures rdy continuation of the fight in the for sound money. A nomination hay- been made and a platform adopted, the ext step will the tnauguration of a campaign; and this, for thoroughness and ardor, promises to attract national atten- tion. It was in the nature of things that these men should pay their respects to protection and to the tariff bill now in conference. All of them have for years been free trad- ers, and one of them, Mr. Carlisle, is in in- tellectual grasp the foremost living repre- sentative of that cause. It cannot be said, however, that any of the references to the subject were happily conceived. Some of them were positively unfortunate. The purpose all through was to connect pro- tection with free silver, and to make the one policy bear responsibility for the other. For instance, Mr. Carlisle, in his address as permanent chairman, in referring to the tariff bill, said: “In this work of spoliation the proice- tionists have had, not only the sympathy, but the active co-operation and support of many of the most able and influential members of the free silver party in Con- gress, who did not even receive for their indispensable services a fair division of the €potls. Without the aid of free silver mem- bers of the Senate the republican pro’ lionists could have accomplished nothing whatever in the direction of increased iax- ation. Did not Mr. Carlisle know that the men in the Senate who fought the tariff bill from start to finish were not democrats of the sound money school but the men who supported Mr. Bryan enthusiastically last year? Mr. Gray, Mr. Caffery, and Mr. Lindsay, all gold democrats, voted against the bill, but they did not lead the fight. rhe leaders, so recognized on the floor of enate, were free silver men—Mr. Jones Arkansas, who managed Mr. Bryan's campaign, Mr. Vest, and others like them. Against this bill, which Mr. Carlisle han- esiness of dies so severely, the gold democrats cast three votes, and the Bryan men twenty- five, while no democrat was more unsparing in his criticism of the measure than were Mr. Teller, Mr. Cannon, and Mr. Pettigrew, all of whom last year bolted Mr. McKinley for the free silver nominee. So that when Mr. Carlisle declares that the republicans of the Senate in preparing and passing their tariff bill “had the active co-operation and support of many of the most able and influential members of the free silver party in Congress,” he utterly ignores the record. The free silver men, very far from cutting a figure in support of the bill, led in the fight against it, and supplied all but three of the twenty-eight votes recorded against it. This new tariff bill is the work of sound money men. Equally unfortunate was Mr. Carlisle in this statement: “Protection and free coinage are twin heresies, and the man who believes in one is logically bound to believe in the other.” Very far from this being true, protection and sound money have always gone to- gether. The republican party has always stood for both. When Mr. Carlisle, a free trader, was speaking and voting for free coinage—which was in the days before he had attained his stature as a statesman— John Sherman, a protectionist, then Secre- tary of the Treasury, was bringing about the resumption of specie payments. Mr. Carlisle has wisely shifted his ground from free silver to sound money, but Mr. Sher- man still stands where he then stood, in favor of both protection and sound money. But these little partisan touches aside, the Louisville convention was one of im- portance, and it will strengthen the cause of sound money in every part of the coun- try. ——> +o ____ The Aldrich-Jones Comb! jon. When it was announced a short time ago that Senator Aldrich was on the eve of returning to Washington, The Star ex- Pressed regret at the news. It pointed out that his purpose was to take a hand in the conference between the two houses of Congress on the tariff bill, and it ex- Pressed the opinion that his influence would make only for trouble. This opin- fon is now confirmed by the facts. Mr. Aldrich is now leading the Senate con- ferees, and fs at the bottom therefore of the controversy which has arisen over the sugar rates. Why should the Senate conferees suffer themselves to be led by Mr. Aldrich? Has he not already sufficiently shown tae hand of a marplot in this tariff business? Were not his associates on the subcommittee of the finance committee forced to abandon much of the work of amending the Dingley bill which had been done under his direc- tion? Is any of it worthy of being re- tained? And another thing. Upon whom does Mr. Aldrich principally rely for support in fixing upon the bill a schedule favora- ble to the Sugar Trust? Mr. Jones of Nevada, a populist and free silver cham- picn, who assisted last year in the effort to overthrow the republican party, is pre- paring to assist in a similar effort next year and in 1900. Do republican Senators relisn the idea of having a Sugar Trust sugar schedule incorporated into their tariff bill by this combination of reckless republicanism and openly antagonistic pop- ulism? —_+ +s —__ Frank McLaughlin. Frank McLaughlin, publisher Philadelphia Times, was one of the notable figures in American jcurnalism. He did not rise to great prom- inence outside of his own work for the rea- son that he possessed no political ambi- tions, seeking only to produce a daily news- paper that would compare with any in the world. The result of this assiduous devo- tien to his own line was that the Times has been acknowledged to be one of the hand- somest journals in America, from every standpoint. Mr. McLaughlin's association with Mr. McClure as editor made a strong cembination, and one that wrought for the best interests of Philadelphia at all tim Mr. McLaughlin's personal character wa: far above reproach, and his kindiy nature, though veiled by a somewhat cynical man- ner of speech, was appreciated by those with whom he came into close contact. In addition to his intimate knowledge of the printer's art, he possessed a keen sense of news values, and his judgment in this re- gard was confidently relied upon by his editorial associates. ——__~+ + Republican Suicide.

SS Oo ——_ Hampbacked Bicycle Riders. There are several good points among the new bicycle regulations proposed the other day by the local wheelmen to the Commis- stoners, and it would perhaps be tn the interest of fair dealing to_grant some of the requests thus made. For instance, the suggested rule of the road, which tends to reduce the-number of accidents by estab- lishing a Better understanding among the users of the streets, might well be adopted. It is well to restrict the license with which some careless drivers of all sorts of vehicles cut corners and crowd wheelmen and pedestrians to the curb. These prac- tices are dangerous and unjust, and should be regulated as far as possible. The sug- gestion as to the strewing of glass in the streets is forceful and should result in the exercise of greater vigilance by the police in seeking to detect the offenders. Broken glass is dangerous not only to wheelmen, whose property only suffers when coming into contact with it, but to many others, for the streets are used frequently in sum- mer by barefooted children, to whom bad cuts may be serious. Horse owners, too, appreciate the necessity for an enforcement of the law in this respect. The wheelmen commendably admit the need of restricting the number of persons who shall be al- lowed to ride abreast on the streets. But there can be no increase in the speed limits at street intersections if the public safety is to be secured. It is im- material, as alleged, that the rapid-transit street cars commonly violate the regula- tions in this respect. One nuisance does not warrant another. Too much care can- not be used at corners, and it is no material hardship for riders and drivers to slow down at such points from a ten or twelve-mile gait to six. Commissioner Black hit the nail exactly on the head when he asserted that, in his opinion, most of the bicycle accidents are due to inatten- tion on the part of the riders, many of whom persist in the idiotic fashion of bend- ing far over the handle-bars in supposed imitation of the racers. It has been demon- who died yesterday, | strated many times that this position is not only unhealthful, but that it detracts from the actual force of the rider. It car- |) ries his eyes too far below the horizontal line, and forces him to assume a strained and unnatural position when he under- takes to look ahead for guiding. The wheelman must assume the greater part of the burden of avoiding collisions, having the lighter vehicle, and being better able to avoid obstacles, and to this end he must not handicap himself by approximating the position of the anthropoid ape he so often greatly resembles. It may become neces- sary for the Commissioners, in their efforts to secure safer streets, to devise a regula. tion affecting the relative positions of han- dle-bar and saddle. While this is largely a personal matter, it bears heavily upon the security of the general public. It is safe to assume that the unknown wheelman who ran into a small boy the other evening and broke the little fellow’s arm was a fol- lower of the hump-backed school of riderr, and that the accident was caused by his inattention to the business before him. —_—__< e-____ It ts being hinted by people with sensi- tive ideas as to raiment that Senator Mason’s cresh suit and Representative Simpson’s bicycle hose are almost as much out of place as Senator Wellington's re- marks.

The Speaker has not been alone in urging the House conferees to resist the Senate. Aniong the western republicans especially the opposition to the Sugar Trust is very strong, and western republican representa- tives have gone to the House conferees and told them plainly that the adoption of the Senate sugar schedule would fasten such a load of scandal on the party that demo- cratic representatives would certainly be returned from thelr districts to the next Congress. +e —__ The Boom in Sugar.

From the New York Times. When the Dingley bill went to the Senate Sugar certificates were selling at 115. When the bill came out of the republican Senate caucus they were selling at 125. When the bill went into the hands of the conference committees Sugar certificates were selling at 120, Since the bill has been in conference the price has advanced to 137 7 Any one who bought the stock before the bill went into the caucus and sold yester- day ared about $23 on every share. If he were able to buy “on a margii 8 10,000 shares, his profits were equivalent to the salary of a United States senator for forty-six years. ——— ++ The Tug of Sugar. From the New York Journal. Thanks to the Roman virtue and the sound political sense of Speaker Reed, we are told, the House tariff conferees are de- termined to stick to the House rates on the sugar schedule. They had intended to sur- render to the insistence of the senatorial trust attorneys, headed by Jones of Nevada and Aldrich, but the indiscreet boom in Sugar stock in the New York market alarmed the Speaker, who had also begun to hear from the country. The fact that in a time of deadly depression such a pop- ular security as the stock of the Sugar Trust had jumped to 135 in consequence of favors promised from Washington would be embarrassing to explain to constituents on the stump. ———____+ e=—_____ Dangerous for the Republican Party. From the New York Tribune. The movement in the stock market has shown what those who know most of the refining business think the schedule, ‘as modified by informal understanding, would be worth to the holders of stock. It is safe to assume that many republican senators desire not to support a settlement which will invite public disfavor. It is not their wish to expose republican principles to popular prejudice nor the prosperity of the country to any risk of another democratic reaction. ——___ 0 —____ Spenker Reed to Be Commended.
