Tbero is a story ot Carlyle in bis old
age having taken the following tare-
well in bis broadest Scotch of u young
friend who bail Imd him in charge for
walks, aud who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood bad
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, "1 would have you to
know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con
sisted solely in the rather negativo sin
of not having been convinced of the
troth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up toC uilyleand de
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion hud betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly roused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impres
sion at all on his interlocutor; that be
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so mnch as that. Of course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way.—Loudon Spectator.

The artificial violets are a wonderful
imitation of the real ones. It takes
more than a passing glance to detect the

every day a 10 cent bunch of nature’s
production, which she judiciously in-
terspeises through a large cluster of the

II. O. llavemeyer, President ot tlie
American Sugar Refining Company, was
mailed to-day:
11 If you supply to me, as Chairman of
the Subcommittee on Trusts and Manu
factures, tlie information asked for here
in, I will see tiiat it is laid before the
public. A free trader myself, and lieliev-
ing no tax should he levied ou sugar (nor
any tiling else) except for revenue; never
theless, as practically every article of
general consumption is to retain protec
tion, I feel no prejudice against tlie sugar
interest as such, and I think a large num-
la-r of tlie members of tlie House enter
tain the same view. As, however, tlie
sugar trust demands proteetion. or, more
properly speaking, the taxation of the
public for its profit, it should put before
Congress and tlie public its real condi
tion, so that an intelligent opinion of the
merits of its demand may be formed.
If, upon an actual and necessary invest
ment of cash capital, you cannot save
yourself from loss without burdening the
taxpayers, then sugar lias as much justi
fication 'and more) for being fed from
tlie public resources by taxation as many
industries which we aid in passing the
Wilson bill, and it should lie allowed to
remain upon tlie charity list. If, how
ever, its profits have Jieeu excessive,
when figured upon an actual easli and
unwatered capital stuck, then you, as a
fair-minded man, will agree with me
that you should not have any legislative
favors. In such an event a tax of 1 cent
[ier iiound upon l(H)-degree sugar, for
revenue only, would lie a fair and equita
ble one, permitting a m iuct ion of one-
hundredth of a cent for each degree of
sweetness lacking. Kuril a tax as this,
while taking nothing from the treasury
of your company, would pour a great
many millions into the government cof
fers. The information asked for is com
prehended under four heads:
“ First—What is the present tax value,
i. e., cost of replacing of its plants actu
ally in operation and necessary to pro-
duce flu-quantity of refined sugar turned
out b_. your company?
“ Second—W hat have Iieen tlie actual
profits of the American Sugar Refining
Uompany for each full fiscal year sinee
its organization, and what are its profits
so far in the current year?
“ Third—What annual salary is paid
to each of its general officers?
“ Fourth—What is the actual paid-in
cash capital, including the plants turned
in at their real cash market value, and
what is the present surplus fund of the
company, including all individual prof
its?
“ The McKinley hill gives the sugar
refiners an opportunity of collecting from
the consumer a tax of one-half of a cent
upon all sugars almve No. lti,
? er hitch pound
standard, and the consumption of
all elasHes of sugar during tlie past three
fiscal years, aggregating 12,95li,802,445
pounds, fully 9,000,000,000 of which were
above this limit. It follows therefore
that tlie sugar trust and independent re
finers in tne United States must have
received over $40,000,000 of the people’s
money, while the government received
during the three years $470,751. As your
company has asked certain favors, the
propriety of supplying fhe country with
tlie information asked herein will not
tie questioned by so reasonable a man of
business as yourself. You are a Demo
crat, ami will, I trust, join me in tlie
hope that within a few years tlie present
wretched system of taxing the people
(under tlie misleading notion of protec
tion) for the benefit of private interests
would be done away with entirely and
forever.”
a s h in g t o n
liable news from Bluelields since the
outbreak of hostilities there was brought
here to-day by the steamships tiussie
and Joliu Wilson, which arrived within
a few hours of each otiier. The vessels left
• here July 10, and at that time tlie situa
tion in the Mosquito reservation was
quite serious and threatened to develop
into a regular war before long. After
the removal of tieneral Lacayo, whose
dictatorship brought about his downfall,
through tlie demand of the United States
government everything went along
peacefully at tlie reservation. Young
Chief Clarence of tlie Mosquito Indians
resided in Bluelields under tlie protection
of the British Consul aud the American
warship, and nothing of note transpired
until July 5, when some Indians and
some Nicaraguan soldiers became in
volved in a brawl on the streets of Blue-
fields and two of the soldiers were killed,
This caused a great deal of excitement,
and it was feared that attempts of the
new Commissioner, Henor Calsezas, to
arrest the rioters would result in more
bloodshed.
That night, however, la-fore the au
thorities had time to perfect their plans,
the Indians executed aeoupd'etat, which
changed the w hole aspect of affairs, aud
which, the Nicaraguans charge, was in
cited by the Americans. About the
middle of tlie night the Indians made an
attack on tlie bluffs, wtiere the Nicara
guan troops were quart.led, and, driving
them off, captured ..II tlie arms and am
munition and fortified themselves in tile
stronghold which Lacavu had liuilt for
his soldiers. One hundred or more In
dians, said to have Iieen commanded by
Young Clarence himself, embarked on a
flatlmat and stealthily moved around to
tlie bluffs, until they were directly op
posite them, and before tlie sentries were
aware of what was going on opened fire
on tlie bluffs and on the troops, who hail
been suddenly railed to arms. The Nic-
Hraguans were so surprised that they
tied. It is si.id that two or three soldiers
were killed in the attack.
The next morning the cruiser Marble
head lauded fifty marines, and quartered
them near tlie International Club to pro
tect American interests. This was
deemed necessary, owing to tlie hostility
of the .Spaniards, who attributed tlie
midnight attack to the influence of the
American residents. The Commissioner
immediately set to work to rally his
demoralized forces, and sent word to tlie
interior by a courier for reinforcements.
After the landing of the marines there
were no more hostilities, though the In
dians were still in possession of the III tiffs.
It was reported that the Indians in tlie
interior were preparing to move on Blue-
fields in large numliers to annihilate the
Nicaraguans, and though they have not
yet materialized, there is a vast amount
of uneasineas there.
This attack has resulted in increased
tension Iietween the American residents
and tlie Nicaraguans, and it is said that
tlie Nicaraguans have warned several
Americans to leave under penalty of
death, hut so far these threats have not
iieen put into execution. There is no
