There seems to be general movement
among commercial men IN favor of a new
bankrupt law, and pressure is being worked
I'M in favor of bill to that end prepared by
Judge Lowell and now pending in congress.
The insuperable objection to all such leSisla-
ton Is that It takes the whole bankrupt bust
ness out of the cheap local courts and transfers
Il TO the federal tribunals where the costs are
SIMPLY ruinous to all ordinary litigants.

thrill from Berlin to the end of the world the
FREE TRADER Is still unable to perceive, in
spite of the Herold's elaborate exploitation Of
the matter, that the making of abstracts and
exacting round pay therefor is one Of the le-
gitimate perquistes" Of the recorder; es'
pecially when the man whom he employs to
earn those perquisitcs is paid for other and its
own work by the county. AS TO Mr.. Charles
Metzgcr, whose zeal in behalf Of Mr. Arnold,
and loneliness in the board Of supervisors
whenever his name was mentioned, was so
conspicuous, the FREE TRADER mentioned his
name only when it was unavoidable in that
connection and certainly with no malice or
i'll will towards Mr., NJ. personally. His iras-
cibility on the subject, 1t is true, struck the
FREE TRADER at the time az somcwat ludi
crous, but of course all that is different IN view
of the startling revelation of the Herold that
Mr. Metzger was not Jealous only for the cause
of Mr. Arnold but for the honor Of the whole
Teutonc race.

should have provoked the Ire of Nj. Arnold's pc.
euliar friends and sponsors, the editors of the
La Sale County Herold Is not surprising; bu,
that In this simple and altogether proper pro-
ceeding the FREE TRAER has, according to
said Herold, grievously insulted the whole
German race, does decidedly take US down
The next step in this tremendous business, We
suppose will be diplomatic correspondence
between the foreign offices at Berlin and
Washington, and demand from Kaiser vii
helm and his puissant minister Bismarck, GOV
erlng demand that the FREE TRADER be de
livered up for condign punishment for this

ILLINOIS SUGAR.-Brlef dispatches in the
Chicago dailies last week mentioned that a
well.attended convention of Illinois sorghum
growers was held at Springfield and that
abundant facts were presented demonstra
ting that sugar can be successfully and profit
ably manufactured from the juice of what is
called the amber cane IN this state, but we have
been unable anywhere to find anything like
a full report Of the proceedings of the conven
ton. Ii was mentioned, according to the St.
Louis Republican, that no less than 80 samples
Of grained sugar and as many more Of fret
class syrups were exhibited, and reports made
of rapid extension of the cultivation of am
Der cane and increase Of interest IN the bust
ness. Statements were made that the difficulty
Of crystalizing the syrup has been overcome;
that the cane can be cultivated with but little
more trouble than corn and that the cost of
making good merchantabe brown sugar from
the syrup need not be over 3 to cents pound.
II Is te be hoped that not only these statements
are true, but that they will be turned to prac-
tical account in the near future. If good sor-
ghum sugar can be profitably made in Illinois,
the field open to the farmers of the West is a
wide and inviting one. The consumption OF
sugar in the United States is zoo, 900 lbs.
a year, and constantly increasing. Ninety per
cent of this amount comes from abroad and
only 10 per cent from the sugar districts OF
our own country. Practically, then, there are
no limits to the efforts OF western farmers in
sugar making, and if they can really make l:
at cost of 8 cents pound, they can make
! their fortunes in doing It,

We are surprised to see paper usually so
well posted and correct as the Joliet .Sigaal
copy as authentic the footings of the popular
vote for President as prepared few weeks
ago by the Chicago Tribune. That statement,

and the enormous vote in the Republican
states at the north
