TOO MUCH SUGAR.

Over I'Y.uv Times as Much I'roducod as Is lieing Consumed. W.ssfi N.'-TWIN, April U.—Sir Julian Pau'icel' ire, the British ambassador, has furnished to the department- of state a copy of a circular issued l'»y the West Judia c-oiiimii'fee of London concern!,lg sugar ])'•:(,-hjerlon. The ambassador explains that it is not to be regarded as an expression of opinion by Iris government, but of the committee's vice.'

The

cir.-v-Lir calls attention to the fact

that the sugar industry, beet, as well as cane, is passing through, a crisis of the most- ser.ous description and expresses the imp that in attempting to provide a remedy the various governments should avoid taking any steps wiiich may aggravate the crisis instead of relieving it is shown that while the production is increasing at the rate of a millions tons per annum, the consumption grows slowly at tlie rale of only 200.00!) tons pel- annum. Naturally prices are depressed. and the bounty system is ascribed as the cause of this state of affairs.

Therefore if advises the entire abolition of ii bounty and the stimulation of consumption by the mluetion of the duties levied on sugar, which are excessive in Uurope and prevent the people as a whole from using sugar.

Cineiiins'.ti l'olice Muddle Settled. Coi.oim's, April IJ.—Governor MoKinley yesterday sustained tiie three police commissioners of Cincinnati who red'used to vote for the removal of Lieutenant Helical!.

MOO HE.

The Called Council Meeting. vA isya .' Last night the Council met iu called session. J. C. Alexander was granted permission to improve his frame house, which is within the fire limits.

An amendment to section 13 of the water works ordinance passed to this effect: Rates for the court house, $32.00 per year street sprinklers, $5.00 each per week suit of offices, $1.25 per year sillcocks, yard hydrants or other hydrants with threads for hose attachment charged same price as lawn sprinklers.

Persons desiring to tap mains to secure city water will be required to pay $5.00 in advance for said connection. This will be credited on their water rent., so that a person only advances the $5.00: only really advances the difference between his first quarter's water rent anil the $5 00, and that, as a rule, is only from two to three dollars, and in many Ciises ss than that. The city beiu^ short on water works funds, aud being desirous of giving as many possible water connection, took this phiu rather than exhaust all its money and then have no money at all to make connections. This will work no great hardship, and- is really the only thing practicable under the circumstances.

Now that our water works are hr and are ln good working order, the fire risks iu this city are not nearly so hazardous. We are entitled to and should have a large and substantial cut in the present rates, and we believe we will get them in the course of a month.
