THE SUGAR SCANDAL LOOMS BIG
It begin* to look as though the
sugar trust scandal will shake the
country as nothing has since the Chi
cago packing house and New York In
surance revelations. The facts al
ready brought to light give good
cause {or (ear there may he truth in
the accusation that men of important
place in several national administra
tions either shut their eyes to or con
nived in the cheating of the govern
ment and the ruining of independent
producers.
The situation is so grave that it
occupied practically the entire atten
tion of the Cabinet yesterday when it
met for the first time since the Presi
dent returned to Washington. This
much Is known definitely ? the sugar
trust has within a comparatively shoitl
lime defrauded the government out
of 12,000,000 in import duties. The
proof is absolute. To accomplish this
was utterly impossible without the
knowledge of a number of customs
employees and officials. It is charg
ed that dishonesty has been going on
to r years; that the duties It euablcd
the trust to escape paying amount
to much more than two millions. Aul
the government officials end employ
ee* ? what means did the trust bring
to bear on them? The answer of
those who make the charges is the
ugly word "bribery" and the shame
ful explanation, "immense contribu
tions to the campaigu funds of both
political parties."
Nothlug less is possible now than
a thorough probing, public exposure
and punishment so far as it can be
brought about. None of the Presi
dents of the past twenty years is
suspected of having had an inkling of
what was going on, but it Is believed
that men who stood high in both Dem
ocratic and Republican administra
tions will be held up for public scorn
before the investigation has ended.
And that Congress will order a thor
ough investigation can not be doubtei
Unfortunately there is doubt that
punishment can be Inflicted upon all
"the men higher up." Most of the
positive proof against them is of
transactions which occurred long
enough ago to make the intervention
ot the statute of limitations a pos
sibility. The later deals have been
covered up better, though there is
convincing evidence of their existence
Bu' whatever is possible to be done
should be done. At least there should
be thorough Investigation and publi
city. The public demands the facts
and U entitled to them. ? Cleveland
Leader.
It was to be expected that the in
vestigation of former Judge Reid
would dwindle to a fizzle. The facts
io the case against Reid were peddled
tlrst to the Times, and were rejected
because the charges appeared to be
trivial. Developments apparently bear
out this estimate. There is a joy in
the pursuit of public malefactors, and
the Times would be first in the chas6
but to scare up a rabbit and call it
& Kodlak bear is too childish a game
for adult years.? Fairbanks Times.

STILTON CHEESE.
It Differs In the Making From the Or
dinary Cheese.
Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses In the method of manufacture.
Each Stilton is made In a circular
mold, or vat. two fool deep and about
nine Inches In diameter, perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk
has been turned into curd by means of
reunet it is transferred into the vat,
which is lined with a coarse woven
cloth, with a ladle. When a thin layer
of curd covers the bottom of the mold
u little dry salt Is sprinkled over it.
This Is supposed to create the blue
mold often found in Stiltons. Then
more curd is added in layers until the
vat Is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out of the holes
iuto the pau In which the vat stands.
After the curd has stood for twenty
four hours a tin disk is laid on the
top and a weight applied to hasten the
expulsion of the whey. When quite
firm, the cheese Is removed from the
vat aud placed on a shelf to dry. After
some days the cloth is taken off aud
the cheese is left to ripen in a special
room, the temperature of which never
varies.? Londou Auswers.

After reading tho public statement
of this fellow-sufferer glveu below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ugo,
which has kopt tho kidneys In good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work In othor cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Footon, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
ment for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said In their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
conflnod to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pdlls, I procured a box and be
?an their use. 1 felt great relief
from tho first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since bad no return of kidney
complaint."
