PANIC IN SUGAR. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report SAM.

RYAN, Editor. Li for the faith. She stands as a powerful witness for truth and faith. She believes in something and testifies to it. She believes in many things we do not, but she does not bow down and worship idols, and behind it all is the groundwork of Christian faith.

Said Dr. Parker: "I find myself more closely allied to the Roman Catholic church than to many Protestants, who by their rationalist belief have taken away my Lord. I could worship with them with some pauses." Some feared the influence of her temporal power, but he did not. The temporal power of the Pope has passed forever, and he believed that the vast majority of priests and laymen were glad of it. He controverted the idea that a Roman Catholic was bound first to serve the Pope.

Nr-Y. AlVdragffinta. Wild Fluctuation in Stocks on 'Change in New York. Over 100,000 Shares Sold at an Advance of Twelve Points Millions Were Made and SUGAR SHARES BOOM. New York, March 7.

There was a jump in sugar certificates on the stock exchange which took the breath out of the oldest patrons of that establishment They sprang upward until twelve points had been registered in half an hour. The stock of the sugar trust is not one in which undue sobriety of movement is looked for. Since the debate on the sugar schedules of the Wilson tariff bill began, however, its gyrations have broken all records. Shorts Run to Cover. The cause of the remarkable spurt was an inspiration from Washington in the form of a statement thut the trust's pet product would not be disturbed by the senate.

For the last few days the advices received in WTall street from Washington have indicated that the bill, as amended by the senate finance committee, would provide for the protection of refined sugar. A large short interest was created in the stock on the theory that tiie senate would pass the bill as it left the lower house, namely, without duties on either raw or refined sugar. Later advices scared the short interest into covering, and a big bull pool has been buying and advancing the stock. Story of the Day. The Evening Post tells of the excitement in sugar stock as follows: "There was evidence oa the market of some very remarkable manipulation of the 'news from Washington about the senate's intentions with respect to the tax on sugar.

Between 10 o'clock, when business opened, and 11:30 about 100,000 shares changed hands, and during these dealings the price of the certificates moved or rather rushed from 88 to 100, turning at par and receding as rapidly as they had advanced to 92. After another upward spurt the price seemed to settle about 93. The excitement attending these extraordinary sales was intense, and the dealings as reflected in the quotations were most irregular. For awhile all other business seemed at a standstill. At one time, for in stance, the tape recorded eleven different prices for sugar, showing a variation of three points, while fractional lots, sold simultaneously with full lots, were frequently three points above the price of the latter.

"After 11 o'clock sugar broke 2 to 93VS, rallied to 9514, sold down to $2 and recovered to 9a The preferred sold off 2 per cent, to 89. The speculation in the shares is steadying gradually and has lost the greater part of the feverishness which has characterized the first dealings therein. Millions Made and Lost. "In the sugar crowd nearly 200 brokers were yelling together and struggling to get to the middle of the pit The sight was a most remarkable one, but it was easily understood when the change in money values, as represented by the quotations, was taken into account. The rise of twelve points that took place in the stock represented an increase in the value of the company's common stock of $4,500,000.

It is worth fighting for to get a slice of thi3." Serious Chargea Against Senators. Washington, March 6. Stock jobbers are making a football of the tariff bill and the senators are joining in the game. Sugar is the pivot on which the speculation turns. Every hour's delay in reporting the tariff bill adds to the speculative fever.

One leading western senator made in two hours, according to the word of his broker, on the bullish movement on sugar. The speculators in and out of the senate are being roundly abused. Senator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, grew indignant on the subject and de clared, that taise tanir scneauies were being published almost daily to aid the speculators. Calls It a National Scandal. "The base use to which the tariff bill is being put is a national scandal" said one of the most prominent members of the ways and means committee.

"I believe that some senators are standing out to keep the market in a quiver and not for the reason they allege, because the schedule is unsatisfactory." Given $10,000 for a Leff. HIWest Superior, March 7. Frederick Kelson was given a judgment of $10,000 against the Duluth, South Shore Atlantic railway by a jury in a personal damage suit. The plaintiff's leg was cut off at the hip while crossing the track at Iron River. He claimed no signal was given or whistle blown.

Apes are now filling his pockets. A 1PROTEST ANT VIEW Of the' Roipaan Catholic Church Eloquently" Given by the Rev. Dr. Parkeirrof Hartford, Conn. At the South church last evening the Rer: DrTE.

'P. Parker made an address jn" "Some Aspects of the Roman Catholic Church" Dr. Parker said that the Roman church presented manifold aspects to him. He was impressed with its administration and organization, its faith and worshipjtnd its missionary His purpose was to say a few things about the church in view of what seemed to him unreasonably perhaps, and unfounded aspersions onthe ehurch on the part of someJProtestants. He said that in'liis boyhood he shared the eommori-fear and dislike of Catholics, -but.

thjft long ago he was emancipatedfjpom that view. He believed it to bj a true church of Christ, not the-true church to the exclusion of others, not, from his view a perfect church. The Roman Cathofichurc has many serious imperfections 'but," said Dr. Parker, "Fknow not of any which is perfect? There are dark names written on the pages of the chnrch, but there arqr also the records of heroes and -martyrs. The pages of its history are bright with the names of noble men.

I love to think how out of that church have -come many, of the most precious things which we prize in our worship, our hymns, tunes, prayers, sermons, meditations, etc. If what lias come tous-f rom it were to be eradicated from our worship, there would be little left that's good, and of the book of common prayer but little beside the covers." It was notfmade to order but is the outgrowth of love and faith in Christ. He- doubted if there was any noblerrecord than that of her missionaries, frequently sealed 'with their bloods There is another and darker -side, to the church, but why dwell on that? Protestantism has its' dark -side also. It has burned; and beheaded for faith's sake. The dark'story of the treat- mpnt of -Unman Catholms nf thp Revolution when it was found politic to treat them differently, hangs over our heads.

Let the dead past bury its dead. Let the broad mantle Of our charity cover us all, so that-we can say from the -Roman liturgy," "Remember not Lord our offenses, nor the offenses of our forefathers. Dr Parker gave instances of Romanists who -hated Protestants, but they wereiRomanists only in name arrd said' -Protestants who hated" Roman Catholicism micht be Protestants, but they were not Christians. He considered the present be the wisest and best man, who had occupied that position for eehturies. "Somesary--that the old dominating spirit of the cliurch will assert itself it gets a chance, but I don't believe itr It wouldn't if it 1-1 'a.

1 a. i IT cuuiu uuu livuuiua ii it wouia. The old conditions have gone by forever'- The Reformation has done as-tnuch for the Roman Catholic church, as for us, and the world has moved dn upward until religr- ious, tolerance is regarded as a part of modern faith. Some shake their Jieads at thebeautiful edifices the Catholics' ape erecting everywhere, but if.they where we -give $100, I for one honor them for it-, if they are willing to support them. Whatever I may think of Iheir judgment, jf do admire their devotion.

They are loyal, and their and corporate power rebuke us. They have an -adaptability to gather all classes logetber-in one grand worship and wheu'they can so appeal through -eyes and ears to the noble and peasant- the civilian and soldier, -the rich and poor, the young and old, the learned and ignorant, as they weshall have -advanced a great way." Dr. Parker dwelt at length upon the good influences of the Roman JCatholicchurch upon the foreign element and speculated on what might have been their condition without soma adequate moral and spiritual -control. The Irish in America- owe everything to the church, more than they are aware of. "Who ever heard of an Irish Catholic anarchist, a nihilist or ultra-socialist? The Roman Catholic church is a mighty bulwark; she holds her- people in martial array is in the vaults of the treas- ury; to and in case of a deficiency, require the treasurer to the same at once good.

make Should the treasurer refuse or neglect for the period of ten days thereafter to have the full sum due in the treasury, it shall be the duty of the attorney-general to institute proceedings to recover the same." And every man man of ordinary intelligence did not not need to be told that the increase or increment in the hands of an official belonged to the fund or trust and not to the individual. The revised statutes of 1878 provide that "the loaning or depositing of any such moneys (as are in his official custody) by any public official for his own gain, profit or advantage, without special authority, shall be prima facie evidence of the embezzlement thereof," and that "every public official shall promptly pay over, as required by law, the same moneys received and held by him by virtue of his office, and the whole thereof, and he shall not be allowed to set up or plead any account for his services or or fees, as an offset or counterclaim against such payment." Evidently the Sentinel pat out the article from which the foregoing excerpt is taken as as "a feeler." It demonstates that the Republicans still think their State Treasurers were shrewd but not dishonest. It is, therefore, but another step for them to refund al they dare. A Good Man Gone. John Bentlv, a pioneer of Mil waukee, having located there in 1848, died of pneumonia on March 5th, aged almost 72 years, Mr Bentley was a native of Wales, in business a building contractor, in which capacity he built an enlargement of the State Capitol, Milwaukee College, the Newhall House, St.

John's Episcppal church, the Academy of Music, the Stadt Theater, and several churches and public buildings in this State and Michigan. He was Sheriff of Milwaukee county, a city Park Commissioner, four times a member of the Assembly. He was known and beloved by thousands of Odd Fellows, and for a score of years has been the trustee of the Grand Lodge. He was a noble, true hearted man, his integrity and moral worth being recognized by all men, and he was an earnest and ardent Democrat, one of the best in the land. His funeral was attended to-day by a large concourse of friends.

Milwaukee Ahead I Last summer, Milwaukee took the lead in wild banking and mercantile swindling. No other locality came within a township of equal ing. Those developements or achiev-ments, call them what you will were the indirect results of the immoral and dishonest teachings of McKinleyism, plundering of the many for the benefit of the few being at the bottom of that ism. Milwaukee has developed another financial industry cut from the same pattern. It is its system of taking chattel mortgages on personal property, generally from poor people or people in straightened circumstances.

The shylocks exact under their system from fifty to seventy per cent, interest per year, and when the instalments are not paid when due, the money lender seizes the mortgaged property and appropriates or sells it as may be stipulated in the mortgage. This system, a disgrace our civilization, is shielded by law, nevertheless it is nothing less than robbery. What new scheme in rascality Milwaukee will next devise is be yond the power of any honest man to imagine. As McKinleyism is not dead, but still prowls around among the business wrecks it has created, it is only a question of time till its devotees unmask. The Law on Libel.

One of the most important resolutions adopted at the recent meeting of the State Press Association was the "Resolved, That it is the sense of this association that the law of libel of Wisconsin should be amended to embody provisions as follows. The principle of exemplary or punitive damages to be abolished except where malice is shown, the existence of malice to be made a matter of proof and not excepted as a matter of presumption; a person aggrieved to be required to call for a correction before bringing suit, the publication of a retraction to be taken as evidence of no malice and to serve as a bar to an action for exemplary damages; when prompt and satisfactory retraction is made and absence of malice shown, recoverable damages to be limited to actual damages commensurate with the extent of injury proved." A committee, consisting of Messrs. Chappie, Coe and Price was appointed to bring the matter before the legislature. All the Editors ask is to have the same rights accorded to persons accused of other crimes, and the next Legislature must change the law of libel to that effect. A large number of States have already done so, and Wisconsin should be equally just.

The Reciprocity Usurpation No word should remain on the statute book, very emphatically says the New York World, to remind the country of the day when congress turned over to the president any part of its power to legislate. This is what the reciprocity clause does. It transfers a power to the executive which the constitution conferred upon congress, and therefore it is contrary to the fundamental law of the land. Moreover, it gave to foreign governments the right to declare when and on what articles the people of this country should be taxed. The right to levy taxes appertains to our own free citizenship.

It is the right for which bur forefathers fought, and it has never been surrendered except in the reciprocity clause of the McKinley act. Finally, the reciprocity clause was never intended to increase commerce or to promote trade relations between this country and foreign countries. It was a humbugging device of Mr. Blaine to save his party from the rising tide of popular indignation against high protective tariffs. The Silver Certificate.

The beginning of trouble that will follow the continued emission of this species of paper money is already visible. The banks do not wish to receive it from the government. True, thdy know that while Carlisle is Secretary, he will redeem it in gold, but he is liable to die, it is not legal tender, and a future Secretary may resist on redeeming it in 53c. silver dollars. How much better it would be to withdraw all of it and issue legal tender Treasury notes in lieu thereof.

One of the most interesting papers read at the Press convention at Oshkosh was by Col. John Hicks, of the North-Western, late Minister to Peru. It was on South American newspapers, and more particularly Peruvian papers, and the life and customs of the Peru- vians. IT IS NOT what we say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells the story of its merit. When fn need of medicine remember HOOD'S CURES assertion is an insult to the loyalty and intelligence of Roman Catholics.

They have proved their loyal-ty in this country and the Irish Catholics in Ireland have shown in Home Rule, by following Protestant leaders, that they are not tied down by the church, Loyal to the church, they are free in civil af fairs. Dr. Parker announced that he had no fears about the school ques tion. The Roman Catholics are too small numerically even were they disposed to interfere with the system. Dr.

Parker, referred to the American Citizen, Roman Catholic organ, as opposed to a division of school money, and read from a letter from Theodore Roosevelt to its editor in approval of its course. True Americanism is as foreign to Knownnthingism as possible. Regarding the A. P. Dr.

Parker said that he knew but little about it, but so far as it was an organization to stir up prejudice, race or religions, he was opposed to it. The American who did not belong to some alphabetically designated society was a curiosity, and he was that curiosity. He denounced the utterances against the Roman Catholic church which appeared in a paper regularly sent to him by some one he did not know, and said that if a paper should so abuse his religion and people, his blood would boil with indignation. Is it strange that Roman Catholics should grow indignant at such at tacks upon them? "As between the Roman Catholics and some Protestants," said Dr. Parker, "I stand up to be counted with the Roman Catholics; they are my friends." In conclusion Dr.

Parker said: "This is the first time I have spoken on the subiect in this way and it may be the last, but I felt it to be my duty. My fellowship is with the whole Church of Christ, not with the Roman Catholic church, but they are members of the Church of Christ. I am bound to treat them so, and we are coming nearer together, politically and religiously, in these days of liberality of thought and action. God bless the movement and hasten the time when we shall come eye to eye and see him as he is." Hartford Cour-ant, Feb. 19.

A Surprise to the State. Alluding to the taking and pocketing of interest on funds by the Republican State Treasurers, the Milwaukee Sentinel astounds the State by remarking, in its issue of the 3d: "What they did in this respect they did openly. There was no concealment of the facts. The treasurers held that it rightly belonged to them. They had done nothing -of which they were ashamed." This would seem to give color to the statement very recently whispered in political circles that if the Republicans carried the next Legislature they would pass an act to refund to the Ex-Treasurers all money Obtained from them as interest upon the interest they pocketed.

Done nothing to be ashamed of! Done nothing that was not just and right! That is the language used by Republican speakers and newspapers in 1890 and 1891, coupled with abuse of the Democracy for insisting on the right of the people to the embezzled funds. If the law of 1876 was not sufficiently explicit, that of 1878 certainly was. Here is an extract from the law of 1876: "It shall be the duty of the governor and attorney-general, at least once in each quarter year, and at such other times as the governor may eleot, to examine and see that the sum of all moneys, appearing by the books of the secretary of state and state treasurer as belonging to the several funds, Pictures AT SPECIAL PRICES Frames To order.
