The simple and inexpensive methods adopt
ed in the German factories have made the
beet sugar manufacture one of the most prof
liable of industries and the work goes on day
and night, at prime cost for conversion of
81 per ton of beets, or one cent per pound Of
sugar, not estimating the cost of the beet root,
but including labor and all materials used,
like coal, coke, lime, charcoal, wear and tear,
and interest on the invested capital. The
monthly disbursements of such an establish
ment exceed 100000, and give employment
to thousands of wage earners in direct and
collateral industries. One sugar corporation
in France reported a net profit derived from
the manufacture of beet sugar a few years
ago Of $2O00,000 and the season did not eX-
tend beyond l2O days Under these new con-
ditions the production of beet sugar in con-
tinental Europe has doubled in the last de-
cade; and, after the homo populations are
supplied, the surplus is exported to Great
Britain and the United States, reducing the
price of sugar in the markets of .he world
more than 81 per cent.
The sugar refineres of this country use the
beet and cane sugar indiscriminately in the
manufacture of the block sugar of COM
merce, and the family grocer sells the i'm
ported refined beet sugar at price from %
to so per cent. above the price of cane sugar.
Before our late war, Louisiana produced
more sugar than Germany and although the
beet sugar industry in tho latter country was
greatly stimulated by the high prices of sugar
prevailing, incident to the entire destruction
of the cane sugar industry of the United
States, yet as late as 1873 the empire pro
duced only 9, 800 tons, while for tho year 1889
a production Of 100000 tons of sugar and
saccharine resultants is recorded.-A. H.

Rhea Tonight.

Tonight Rhes, the great actress. ap>
pears at Harper's theatre in Shakes
peare's much Ado About Nothing"
Much Ado About Nothing" is one of
Shakespeare's most remarkable plays. 1t
is as popular today as ever. 1t is full of
wit and stupidity, of the freshest comedy
and the ssddest story. The hero IS a
sweet, beautiful woman, shamed and un~
justly accused. 1t was in this comedy
that Rhea was welcomed back to New
Orleans last night by fashionable audi>
ence. Rhea appeared in Beatrice and
achieved a brilliant success.
The plot OF Much Ado About Moth
ing" is so familiar to the theatre goer that
a pretty correct idea is formed of what
each character should be long before the
curtain goes up. Mile. Rhes and her
excellent company did not disappoint the
critical audience last night. Her idea OF
Beatrice is original and the audience soon
recognized her ability to excel in this
particular character and bestowed upon
her the liberal applause she merited. Mr..
William Harris looked and acted Bene-
dick to perfection. The support
throughout was competent. - New Or

PARTISAN ADMINISTRATION.

Another Witness Who Condemns the Sys-
tenn in the Chicago Insane Asylum.
CHICAGO, May 25.-In the asylum inquiry
yesterday Murray Nelson, who was men,
Der Of the county board in Is 7and 1888, was
examined. He expressed the opinion that
the management of the institution should be
taken out of the hands of the county board.
The system of partisan administration is
preJudicial to good government, and tends to
fill the places with unfit attendants
'.Spoils'' Cover a Multitude of Sins.
With reference to the death of Burns, one
of the patients who is declared to have been
murdered by brutal treatment of the attend
ants, Mr.. Nelson said the system was to
blame, not the supervising physician, who
would not be to blame under the circum-
stances, even if he issued a false certificate
of death, as he is charged with doing Most
of the disinterested witnesses are practically
agreed in this case that the "spoils system" is
chargeable with the whole of the trouble
The reporter of The Times, who fegned in
sanity to get at the facts in the asylum man.
agement, made public the horrible treatment
of Burns.
Would Abolish the County Board.
County Commissioner Kimball agreed
with Mr.. Nelson, and proposed a rather rad
ical change in county government He ad-
vocated the adjustment Of the county board.
The affairs of the county could be better
managed by three or four men appointed for
four or five years. There would then be less
friction and less change There would be
less political influence and more regard for
the experience and fitness of applicants for
county positions.

in regard to elections. providing that in
cities where the city and town limits are
co-extensive, it shall be lawful to print
the names of candidates for city and
township officers on one ballot, and use
only one ballot box at each polling place,
has passed both houses and will un>
doubtedly be approved by the governor"
This amendment will obviate the difficulty
experienced at each spring election Of
getting tickets in the wrong boxes. This
act Of Mr.. Hurst's is fresh evidence of his
regard for the best interests of the whole
people. He represents the twenty-first
district more ably than any member for
several years. and is deserving of any
further honor his constituents can be-
stow on him.

AModern Heroine.

A young lady of this city was waiting
on the j. w. Spencer's wharfboat yestcr-
day afternoon. the steamer being over at
Rock Island, when q man approached;
evidently Rock Islander q long way
from home. His eyes and his step were
heavy and the path he was travelling
seemed to be very rocky. Whether the
sight of so much wator all in one body
disordered his nerves or whether he
thought his head was so light that he
could walk on the river does not appear.
but he walked on to the wharfboat, passed
the young lady and went plump into the
Mississippi. With instant presence of
mind the lady sprang to the candy stand
at that place, grabbed broom, and went
fishing for the misguided man. He came
up half drowned but more sensible
than before, grabbed the weapon by
the business end and chung to it like
a mortgage to, Kansas farm. He was
too badly waterlogged to be hoisted
bodily onto the boat, and so the nervy
young woman held onto one end Of the
broom while he held the other, and towed
him around to the end OF the boat and
into shOal water, where he got his feet
aground and wade ashore. Dripping
like seive, ne mounied the wharf and
squared himself around. as the lady
thought, to fall on his knees and return
thanks, but he didn't He only said,
"Oh, my God, but I'm drunk" He was
also nearly drowned and Mhen the patrol
wagon called for him he demurred at
wetting its handsome cushions. but he
didn't resist for a moment, Comical and
ridiculous as the incident was, it would
have been but one short step to the
tragic. The lady saved his life. Give
a woman broom and chance to use it
and she is all right for any emergency

NO COLOR LINE AT THE ALTAR.

Action of Northern Prcsbyterians on the
Negro Question.
New YORK, May 25-The cooperation
question was productive of a lively discus
sion in the Presbyterian assembly yesterday,
and there was crowded audience to hear
il. The question was on agreeing to the
clause of the report on cooperation which
agreed to separation of congregations,
presbyteries and synods as to white and col
ored members This proposition was vigor-
ously attacked, among the most earnest of
the opposers being Rev. John Fox, of Ken
lucky, who insisted that the time had come
to break down the prejudice existing and in
sist on equality in the Christian church.
Rev. DR.. Stryker, of Chicago, was also
against the separation, declaring that he
would vote for no report which established
discrimination at the communion table.
Color Line Wiped Out.
He moved to amend by striking out the OBJ
jectionable clause, and the motion was car
ried-4OO to so The whole report as amended
was then adopted, and then Rev. G. T. Pur-
Wis, of Pittsburg, moved to inform the south
ern assembly by telegraph that the action
was taken mot to prejudice future action
but simply because this assembly did not be-
lieve that it stated the historical facts of the
case" This was carried by a vote of 262 to
1877. A telegram was received from the
southern assembly announcing that they had
adopted the report on cooperation, which
was received with applause.
Other Business Transacted.
The church erection committee reported
that it had aided in building 102 churches,
and spent over sos, 900. 1t asked for $780,
900 for the coming year. The report was
adopted
committee was appointed to consider the
question of appointing deaconesses, to report
to the next general assembly. The price of
the church organ, AT Home and Abroad, I"
was reduced TO 81 per year.
In the matter of the proposed change in
the confession of faith many delegates de-
clared it was no more infallible than the
pope, but the committee report was adopted
asking the reformers to formulate the pro-
posed changes. A resolution to the effect
that revision was not expedient at the pres
ent time was rejected.
