aware, was the dis organization of the
West Indies labor market. And France
took advantage so promptly of the op.
portunity that in 1912 her production
of indigenous sugar had risen to IS, 1000
TONS.
It was almost fourfold increase in
ten years, and was very nearly one
third of the whole consumption, in
stead Of one-seventh, as it had been in
1882. From this time the industry
prospered so rapidly that duty, less
indeed than that on foreign duty.
Still the industry attained great pro-
portions. In 1853 the home production
somewhat exceeded the foreign i'm.
ports. And in 1874 it was four times
greater. Since then the home produc.
ton has still further increased, until
the foreign imports compared with it,
are but small fraction. Last year
in fact, the home production exceeded
$1,000 tons, nearly twice the amount
of 1871. During 1874 and 1875 the
wholesale price of sugar at Paris
averaged 40 francs per 100 kilo.
grammes. At that rate the home pro-
duction last year amounted in value to
over f25, 900, 900 sterling. Thus in less
than seventy years an industry has
been created which is worth this
enormous annual sum to France. In
the meantime Germany, Austria, Russia
and Belgium followed the example of
France and the total production of
beet-root sugar in Europe is now esti.
mated considerably to exceed one
million Of tons.

SHALL WE HAVE 4 FRAUDULENT
PRESIDENT!

Short-sighted Republicans exult over
tho result in the Florida case, and treat
it rs the lorcrunncr Ofn final triumph.
They should first consider what was
and what was not decided by the eight
Republicans on the Commission, and
then contemplate the position in which
the declaration that Hayes is chosen
President will place that individual.
The eight Republicans did not decide
that glaring frauds were not commit
ted by their party in the Florida cleo
ton, and that Tiltlen had not been
cheated out of the four votes of tho
State; but just what they did decide
was that the Commission would not
inquire into the facts for the purpose OF
asccrtaining exactly how the people
voted. In word, these eight Kcpub-
licanS compelled the Commission to ig-
norc the real question which had been
referred to them for decision.
1t is assumed by the Republicans
that their eight brethren on the Com
mission will, in the Louisiana case, ,pur-
sue the same course as in that of FlOri-
du, and, moreover, that this line of po-
hey will be carried through to the end
of the list Of States, and that the result
will be the counting in of Hayes.
If such is to be the outcome OF tho
long struggle, it may be we'll for tho
Republican party to consider tho char
actcr of the title by which Hayes will
attempt to hold the office of President.
Though the Commission will have re-
fused bya majority of one vote to in
Iuire whether Tilden carried the States
of Florida and Louisiana, and whether
the Hayes electors were counted in by
fraud, there will be before the whole
country such complete and Overwhel-
ming proof OF those facts that none but
the most ignorant or shameless parti-
sans will even pretend to dispute them.
| If Hayes enters the White House,
such will be his title to occupy it. Time
will not cure its defects or change its
qualities. Holding under title taint-
cd with fraud, he will be known in his
tory rs the Fraudulent Prcsidcnt.-N.

FROM THE LOBBY TO THE SUPREME
COURT.
How Judge Bradley and Judge Strong
Came Upon the Scene.
lErom tho Cincinnati Enquirer

From tho Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-Who is JUS
tice Bradley? Well, he was an orna-
ment ofthe lobby. You have probably
heard of the lobby: No! Is it poss-
bic? thought every one had heard OF
this third estate OF the Government,
that, owing to the dirt accumulated
about it, might we'll be called real es-
tate. 1t is the agency established by
Congress to facilitate business between
it and people appearing before it pos
sessed OF claims ofall sorts. AS the re-
preventative represents, and the agent
| reflects the tone and character of his
employer, the lobby is quite as bad as
Congress, and is generally composed of
mean men and lewd women. Attor-
ney Bradley was in this lobby working
for New Jersey railroad companies.
Attorney Strong was likewisesin the
lobby laborinG for the Pennsylvania
railroad companies. Tho two gentle
men had other clients, and were mixed
in other schemes, but these were their
principal cmployments and interests.
While these two workers were hang
ing about the passages and committee
rooms of Congress the Supreme Court,
under Chase, Chief-.iusticc, promulSat-
ed it's celcbretcd decision in tho legal
tender case. This gravely affected the
railroad Interests so largely represented
by McssrS. Bradley and Strong. The
companies hurried to Washington in II
high state of alarm. In Il few days the.
Arlington, Willarl's, and Ebbitt were
thrOnged with bald-hcaded, round-bel.
lied parties of the highest responsibility
in appearance-,,ll were rogucs disguis-
ell under stocks and clean shirts. Their
| first move was Il law of Congress in
creasiny the Supreme Bench two mem
bcrs. They found on count that with
such addition they could vote down
Chicf-Jus Chase, he saw what was
coming and fought iinrd against tn,
packing, but fought in vain! The ini-
guilty was cOnsummatcd.
1t was not conSumnatcd until Grant
the places. or course, places on the
day, and the most eminent mon in tho
| legal profession in the country were
spoken of. lIvartS, Curtis, Black, and
others were canvasscd, but Grant said
openly; and, among others, to my
friend Mr.. John "A. G. Gray Of New
York, that he would nominate no man
to either place who was not pledged to
a reversal of the legal-tendcr decision
He was as good :,s his word, and to the
amazement OF the world at large, and
to the delight of all the heavy corpora
tions, he nominated Mcssrs. Strong and
Bradley. The lobby got drunk on
champagne with delight, and in due
course Ofindeccnt haste the icgai-tendcr
| decision was reversed,

thing in proportion. The artz.,claims
are also very rich. l saw, just before
1 left, piece of quartz literally honey
combed with free gold-more gold than
quarts. The piece was not as big as my
hat, and there was $500 in gold in it.
There are no stamp mills, however,
and no attention is paid to quartz
lodges. Tie present claims pan out
from so to $30a day, and if it wasn't
for the Indians men would strike out
and find splendid diggings all over the
country.

TAKE DOWN THE ROD.

There is altogether too much senti-
mentalism abroad nowadays about
whipping boys. In ancient days boys
We're soundly tiogged, and they grew
up into the men who laid the founda-
tion of the worlds civilization. The
men who won our independence were
all whipped ut home and at school
when they We're boys. Our fellows
| who went out to Mexico and walked
through. the halls of the Montexumas
| had all been spanked by their mothers,
| boxed by their primary teachers and
| tlogged by their fathers and the teach
ers of their youth. Every man ON
| either side III our civil war had felt the
rod, and there is not Il man in the coun-
try now over thirty-tive who does not
! remember good old days Of wholesome
iiogging at school, and feel the better
for the discipline that made him then
smart. 1t is only these latter-day
young saints whose spirits can not en-
dure the rod. They are the htgh-toned
young bucks who seize II cue as soon rs
tney can look over Il billiarGl-table,w who
go into tho mint,julep business on joint
speculation with pocket money just
sufficient to go halves on ono julep and
two straws, who chew tobacco as soon
as they cut their second teeth, who tor
ture their infant stomachs with mean
cigars, and, AS they approach manhood,
go home on Saturday night into the
presence of their mothers and sisters as
drunk as fools. They are tho same
high-spirited fellows who, when they,
in the old age of their young manhood,
take TO themselves wives, being relnov-
ell from their mothers and sisters, make
themselves agreeable by frequently 60
ing home drunk, and making their
families cconomize for the benefit of
the high-toned fellows with whom
they run.
1t is all stuff and nonsense about
breaking tho spirit of boys. All that
has over been done in tho world has
been accomplished by men who were
logged when they were boys. What
the now sentimental training is to do
for the world will bc left for time to re-
veal, but no person of any Intelligence
can regard the tendcrly nurtEred and
mildly disciplined youth coming up
around us now, and say that he discov-
crs in them the elements of II greatness
that is to make the grandeur OF the
past appear mean and little. Cromwell
and Nelson and Wellington and all tho
heroes of English and American his
tory were vigorously strapped at
| school, and when the attention OF their
renee, they Justify cried out to Tutor
Macduir to lay on, and be hanged to
him who first cried hold, enough. Boy
human nature has not changed since
the days of Solomon and spelling the
youth is rs much Il consequence now of
sparing the rod rs in his day. Half tho
boys of this generation would be i'm
proved if they were soundly and rcgu-
lnrly trOunccl three times u week.
They might not all need 1t exactly ut
the appointed time, but 1t would bene-
lit all by reminding them that there IL
an authority paramount to their own
unbridied will, and it would make
them grow up more law-abiding, peace
observing, honest, sober and industri-
Gus men than thrcc-fOurths of them
now have any chance of ever being

GRANTS RETIREMENT.

Washington says: ''Thc first signal
for the removal from the White House
of the Grant family, who have lived
therein longer than any family since
Gen. Jackson removed on the compile
ton of his second term as President,
will be given about the 10th of the pres
ent month. Mr.. and Mrs s;artoris will
then go to the residence of Mrs. Louis
Dent UhG widow of the late Judge
Dcnt), with whom they will remain
several weeks, If not longer. Where
the remainder of the family will go on
leaving the White House appears still
to be undecided. Mrs. Grant speaks
pleasantly of leaving the house which
has been her home for eight years, but
| says she would be most ungrateful if
she felt no regrets in departing. She
has been very happy, she says, during
her residence there, and feels that she
| is indebted to many for having done
80 much to make her life there pleasant.
She says she deeply feels the compli-
ment paid her husband by the Amcri-
can people in clcctinG him President
