The American Sugar Refining com
pany has announced an Increase of Its
capital stock by $1,".000,000. The pur
pose of the Increase, according to ii
statement of the president of the com
pany, Is not to buy up outside con
corns, but to encourage the sugar liv
dustry In Porto Ulco and In Culm. As
sugar will come lu free from Porto
Rico, the head of the trust frankly ad
mils that he would like to have Cuban
sugar admitted to the United States
free of duty. He Is quoted as saying:
"The sugar Industry In Cuba will
boom when they get the tariff llxed
right. What they want In Cuba and
what the beet sugar men and the cane
sugar growers In this country would
not object to Is the admission to
American ports of raw sugar from Cuba
and Porto Rico free of duty. What the
growers here want Is a tariff on reilned
sugar."
So far as we are Informed the Ameri
can sugar producers do not want Cuban
sugar, raw or reilned, admitted to the
American market free of duty. Their
desire Is that the existing tariff shall
lie applied to the sugar of Cuba and If
we are not mistaken they will be found
Insisting upon this whenever the ques
tion shall come up for action. It Is
generally safe to dlstrtisl statements
emanating from the Sugar trust rela
tive to tho domestic Industry. It Ih not
favorable to that Industry; It does not
desire that It shall grow. Tho Increase
lu the production of American beet
sugar Is a menace to the trust, the best
evidence of Its hostility to the Industry
being In the fact that It has refused
to sell trust-made sugar to merchants
who buy domestic beet sugar.
To admit the raw sugar of Cuba free
would undoubtedly be a good thing for
the trust and It Is safe to conclude
that In the degree that It contributed
to the advantage and profit of the
American Sugar Rellnlug company it
would be a detriment to our beet sugar
Industry. In order that that Industry
shall continue to grow the raw product
us well as the reilned must have tariff
protection. Give the trust raw sugar
from Cuba free and there would soon
be an end to the production of beet
sugar in this country. Then the Sugnr
trust would have the Held to Itself and
the consumers wholly at Its mercy. A
duty on reilned sugar would not pre
vent this result.
The president of the trust professes
to think that congress will give the
kind of tariff he suggests. Wo believe
It safe to say that It will not. It Is
highly probable that some favor will
be shown to Cuban sugar, but a re
publican congress, we confidently be
lieve, will not sacrifice tho American
Industry, which Is one of the conspicu
ous examples of the wisdom of repub
lican policy. .
THE STMKt: AND WL1TICS.
The effort to give the steel strike a
political bearing will not bo successful
with Intelligent worklngmen. The ex
traordinary suggestion has been made
that the national administration should
Interpose and endeavor to Induce the
men who control the stCol combination
to concede the demand of the Amal
gamated Association of Steel Workers.
What right or authority has the admin
istration to Interpose In n contest of
this character? It Is an Issue between
organized capital and organized labor,
with which the public authorities have
nothing to do so long as tho contest Is
peacefully carried on and no law Is
violated. For President McKlnley or
any one In the administration to med
dle with It would be not only an un
precedented proceeding, but one which
could find no Justification In duty or
authority.
But it Is said that thore Is a prece
dent In the fact that last year the
chairman of the republican national
committee, Senator lliiuna, exerted his
lutluencc to bring about a settlement
of the coal uiliverH' strike. Tho two
cases are not parallel and what Sen
ntor Ilaumi did was a personal matter,
lu nowise Involving the administration
or the republican party. Mr. Ilanua
believed that the miners were entitled
to what they asked for and he per
suaded the operators that It was ex
pedient to concede tho demands. This
does not mnkc it Incumbent upon him
or any member of the administration
to intercede In the contest between
the steel companies and the steel
workers.
The suggestion of such n thing is ut
terly preposterous ntul It Is most sur
prising that It should have anywhere
been considered with seriousness.

The report to the War department
of Colonel .Morrison of tho Judge ad
vocate general's department, on slavery
conditions in the Philippines, shows a
state of affairs that must sooner or
later be remedied, but which may
cause tho government no little trouble,
lie states that slnvery in the nrchl--pelago
has all of the essentials of tho
negro slavery formerly existing In the
United States. This Is true so far as
tho traflie In human beings Is cou
cerued, but there is ft wide difference
In other respects. It Is needless, how
ever, to make comparisons, It being sulli
clent to know that slavery In the Phil
ippines Is In Its general fentures quite
as bad If not worse than was African
slavery In this country.
This Is one of the ugliest matters
connected with our possession of the
nrchlpelago and the problem of dealing
with It Is certain to be found dilllcult
and perplexing. The system has ex
Ibted for centuries and the barbarous
people who practice It will not easily be
persuaded that It is wrong and that It
will be to their advantage to abaudon
It. All their traditions approve It and
they will not readily bo convinced that
a practice so old among them and
which they regard as entirely legiti
mate n practice never Interfered with
by tho former ruler of the archipelago
should bo given up. They may be ex
pected to resent anil resist uny attempt
to do away with slavery, even to the
extent of fighting for its retention.
This l one of the difficulties, and
THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY,
perhapR It will prove a very serious
one, yet to be met lu the Philippines
It Is possible that before It can be dls
pood of much more blood will be
shed and a great deal more money ex
pended, but In any event slavery can
not be permitted to permanently con
tlnue In the Philippines under tin
American Hag. As moii as the United
States shall have firmly established Its
sovereignty over the Islands steps must
bo taken to do away with slavery,
however hard and troublesome the task.
UllYAXS JIUSCSr VULLAH.
In his address delivered at Chautauqua,
111.. William Jennings Hryan reiterated
his time-worn declaration that he was lu
favor of an absolutely honest dollar-
dollar that had the same purchasing
power yesterday, today and forever.
How Bryan would get this extraordinary
dollar he failed to explain. In order to
get such a dollar he would first have to
nullify the eternal laws of supply and
demand which govern the exchange
able values of commodities.
Mr. Bryan's conception of an honest
dollar seems to be that of a standard
nienhttre or standanl weight which Is
the same yesterday, today and forever.
A yardstick Is thirty-six Inches long and
always will be, but the yardstick does
not fix the price at which goods mean
urod by the yard shall bo exchangeable
A yardstick will measure silks, satins
and calicoes, but calicoes and silks will
not sell perpetually at to much a yard.
The same Is true as to weight. Six
teen ounces make ft pound and sixteen
ounces of gold will not weigh any more
at any time than sixteen ounces of iron
or lead, but sixteen ounces of iron or
lead will not exchange for sixteen
ounces of gold, although they will bal
ance on the scales.
A year ago potatoes were selling at
HO cents a bushel and today they are
selling for $1.10 at Chicago. How
would Bryan adjust his honest dollar to
this situation? With Bryan's honest
dollar gauged by last year's prices pota
toes would have to keep on selling at
110 cents a bushel, or If the purchasing
power of his dollar was Initiated In 1001
potatoes would have to sell at $1.10 a
bushel forever.
Two years ago corn was selling at 2.1
to tiO cents a bushel lu Chicago and
today It is selling at from 58 to 00 cents
n bushel. If Bryan's honest dollar had
been the standard com would sell at
the same price today for which It sold
two years ago and would sell at -o or
;!0 cents a bushel throughout all eter
nity.
The Idea of vesting a dollar with equal
purchasing power for nil time, regard
less of the scarcity or abundance of the
commodity that is to bo exchanged for
the dollar Is on Its face the most ab
surd proposition that bus ever been con
ceived.
The protracted drouth has exploded a
great many sclcntllle theories. It has
knocked the sun spots silly and shown
that there is a great deal of moonshine
about tho profound dissertations of as
tronomical charlatnus.". It has also
forced the hand of hitherto highly es
teemed authorities on arboriculture who
have all nloug persistently claimed that
drouth Is caused by the. destruction of
the forests. It is 11 matter of common
knowledge that rainfall promotes the
growth of forests, but it is still a ques
tion whether forests promote the fall of
rain. Tho dense follugo of the forest
retards the evaporation of the moisture
within Its confines, but It does not pro
duce rain. In order to produce rainfall
tho forests would have to cause evapor
ation, but It Is well known thut the
forest does not create the atmospheric
moisture that must precede rain. The
destruction of the forests since 1800, In
the region west of the Mississippi, has
been colossal, yet the drouth of 1800
was more protracted and more Intense
than the drouth of 1001.
Official confirmation is given to the
report thut the new German grain
duties will be so high as practically to
amount to prohibition. Tho United
States, as the leading exporter of grain,
will, of course, be largely affected,
though Germany Is not by tiny means
the largest of Its customers. The loss
Is not without compensation, however.
The effect at home will bo a large In
crease lu price for consumption lu Ger
many, which will prove a serious handi
cap to German manufacturers If it puts
up the price of living. There Is still
plenty of market for all the surplus
grain of this country and If Germany,
which Is, next to England, our greatest
rival lu manufacturing lines, wishes to
start In with a handicap the United
States can stand it.
While some talk has been ludulged
of calling a strike of organized laboi
everywhere In the country out of sym
pathy for tho steel workers now out, It
Is gratifying that the real leaders of
labor have dlscounteunnced any such
move or even thought of such a course.
A strike of this kind, which would
mean paralysis for every Industry In
the country, would be tho greatest ca
lamity possible to Inflict and would
certainly react on. organized labor, it
would strike capital, It Is true, but the
ruins would carry with them all In their
path.
Emperor William Is credited with con
templating a move to secure peace be
tween Great Britain and tho Boers. If
a peace honorable to both could be se
cured It would bo a blessing to tho con
tending parties, The Transvaal Is a
waste land owing to tho ravages of
war and the burden upon Great Britain
Is a most serious drain upon Its re
sources of men and money. The utter
ances of leaders on both sides lend lit
tle hope that any peace short of ex
termination of the Boors Is possible,
however.
Tho St. I.ouls exposition Is Involved

The organization of an exposition
Is a dilllcult task without Its managers

gatlou,
Three years ago Sir Thomas Upton
dispensed his famous Ceylon tea at the
exposition grounds through the medium
of beautiful English maidens arrayed In
picturesque teagowus, but he had to
pay handsomely for the concession. A
St. Louis tea house goes Upton one bet

In attempting to head off frauds In

Kansas City Star.
Tho announcement that tho army of tho
Philippines Is to ho greatly reduced In
numbers and that it is to be concentrated
at three points In the archipelago denotes
that tho Islands havo been pacified and
that the tlmo has come when a great re
duction In expenses may be mado with
safety. The calling In of tho numerous
garrisons would not be considered but (or
the conviction on the part of General
Chaffco and his advisers that the people
of tho Islands look with favor upon Ameri
can occupation and with respect upou tho
military authority. Then, too, the effect
of this concentration will doubtless be seen
among the Islanders of tho better cliuses
who, like bthcr well meaning human
beings, llko to be trusted.
Tho war In tho Philippines was oxDen-
slvo bUBlncBB, U was of longer duration
than at first expected and yet order and
civil rule wero brought about In a much
shorter tlmo end at much less cost than
could havo been holloved by the light of
bpain's experience with tho FlllpluoB.
Tho people of the United States do not
like hostile disturbances of any kind,
They aro fundamentally tho most peaco
loving nation on earth. They especially
abhor anything like chronic trouble, and
fret under the strain of long continued
ftrlfe. Yet they rlso to every situation
that mint he met. What they expect Is
that when a war must bo fought or a mob
dispersed tho translation shall be at
tended with the least posslblo delay. They
are Impatient of abnormal conditions.
Henco It Is particularly desirable that ns
rapidly as the situation mny allow tho
permanent and least expensive order com
patible with safety will be established In
the Philippines, so that the routine of gov
ernment and of Industrial development may
move forward as n mutter of course. That
end once attained it will be hard to make
a llvo Issue, of the Philippines again.
Doubtless tho administration realties the
political as well as the economic value of
reducing the military as well as the civil
government of the archipelago to a busl-
ncss basis as quickly as feasible.

There are two points In dispute. According
to clause 5 of tho Samoa agreement. th
boundaries between the British and German
territories in the Salag district should bo
formed by the river Daka ud to its intr.
section with tho ninth decree of latiniru
But the exact courso of this rlvor. and .
pecially tho point where it crosses tho ninth
parallel or north latitude, aro still un
known and will have to he aneert.iltir.fi hv
the Joint commission. The boundary on
tho coast Is also In dispute. In earlier
agreements tho Daka was treated ns a
tributary of another river and as lying en
tirely In German territory. It now appears
that tho Daka is an Independent river and
Its west bank Is claimed hv Rutland, which
claim Germany, relying upon hor own sur

Tom Johnson, mayor of Cloveland, doet
not like government by Injunction. He
thinks the courts stretch their prerogatives
In favor of corporations. "I am no

I cannot cscnpe tho Impression that tho
peoplo who arc using the Injunction arc
sowing the wind. It this Is true tho har
vest must como later. I cannot believe that
a free people will quietly consent to having
their rights to a hearing, to a trial by Jury,
and to a fair deal taken away from them
in advance. Tho American people havo
been taught to believe that they govern
themselves, but government by Injunction
takes away that right. There will bo pro
vided a remedy. Just how It will bo cured
cannot be told. A legislative restriction
may bo placed on tho court providing a
trial beforo Imprisonment for contempt of
court, based upon such Injunctions. How
ever it may come, it Is certain to come.

BUREAU OF KOIIRSTRY.
Plan nnd Scope of n Division of the
AKrfcn'ltuml Department.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho rapid growth of sentiment In favor
of forestry culture Is gratlfylngly lllun-
trated by the establishment, at the begin
ning of tho present month, of the National
Bureau ot Forestry, under tho act of the
lost congress. Tho growth of sentiment In
favor ot this Important work is interest
ingly ehown by the annual lncreaso In tho
appropriations during tho last few years,
In ISO'J it was only $28,520: In 1000 It was
Increased to $88,520 and this year that sura
is advanced to $18.',410, nearly sevon times
what It was In 1809 and more than double
that ot last year.
Ono eccrot of tho success ot the move
ment in favor of forestry culturo Is that,
after painstaking effort, It was clearly dom-
onstrated to the farming Interests 'that
woodland culturo Is ot direct and vital Im
port to thorn In many ways. It was proved
beyond dispute that forest areas had u
tendency to provent prolonged drouths and
to prcscrvo an oven flow of water In the
streams which Irrigated tho farms. Proof
was also furnished that where ordinary In
telligent was displayed very satlHfactory
financial returns might be had from other
wleo wasto land by the cultivation of trees.
Tho experimental work of tho division of
forestry nttached to the Department of
Agriculture was of such a surprisingly ef
fective character that Its advancement to
the status ot a bureau was Inevitable.
Tho field work of tho new bureau will be
much broader than the work of tho branch
of tho Department of Agrlculturo and it
should and doubtless will be correspond
ingly greater In valuable results. There
will be three Important divisions, one hav
ing charge ot forest management, a second
of forest Investigation and a third of
records. The object of tho first Is to assist
owners of forest areae to develop thorn so
that they may bo handled as nn unfailing
source of timber supply. To this end nn
expert Is sent to ascertain tho con
dition of the standing timber, prospects of
reproduction, the facilities for marketing,
the best method for harvesting tho crop so

MAI D IN MIDSUMMER.
Josh Wink in Baltimore American.
Maud Muller on n summer duv
Raked In the meadow sweet with huy.
Her hat wan off, her .nrina were lmrili
Sho muttered low: "Wish I could s.wear:,
For Maudlc's mood was far from sweet,
Uecauso of the tcrrlllc heat.
She knew that every sunbeam's chase
Brought a ne.v freckle to her face.
And whllo sho ntked the hnyflcld through,
Her neck burned red her noso did, too.
The Judgo came riding down tho road,
And stopped where Muudle's fair head
glowcu.
Ho wore a suit of snowy -white,
And was, In truth, a most cool Bight.
Ho leaped from off his old brown maro
And hought a chat with Maudlo there.
Ho asked a drink of water clear
And, ns ho drank, sighed: "Wish 'twas
beer."
Then chucked Miss Muller 'nenth tho chin
And gave her qulto a goo goo grin,
And smirked and smiled nnd asked her: "Do
You find it hot enough for you
Then Mnudln grasped her ""clent rake.
And shrieked aloud: "For goodness sakei
U'b hard enough tn rako this bay.
But harder when fools como this way!
Sho swiped tho Judge across tho hat i
And got him twice ero down ho snt.
Hhn biffed hts car in manner neat
Three times before ho found his foot.
Sho chased him through tho mcadov
ground . .
Unmoved by his appeals profound.
As he across tho stubble pawed
Ho yelped: "I'm sorryl riease stop,
Maud I"
But there was murder In her heart.
Twas well for him he had u start.
She seized him with a clutch Intense
And hurled htm through a barb wire feme.
And ncv6r mlBsed a stroke or strike
Till ho was headed down tho pike,
And ns hn vanished In n cloud
Of dust, her nttltudo was proud.
Sho smoothed her hair with touches light,
And cried, as he went from her sight,
"The wnrmest words of tongue, or pen
Aro those: 'Don't you come back ngaln!
All that day, every little whllo,
Our Maudlo paused and smiled a smile.
