SUGAR MAKING IN KANSAS.
Senator Plumb Tells OF His Recent
Observations.


Concerning the sugar industry in
Kansas, Senator Plumb in his recent
speech at Wichita, said 81 have been
visiting the sugar plants of Atticu,
Medicine Lodge and Conway Springs,
and before returning home will see all
the plants being operated. am greatly
surprised over the wonderful achieve
ment of last year that / find. When ],
with others, II few years ago, cOmmenc-
ed to insist on IA part OF the aDpropria-
tion for aiding In sugar making to como
to Kansas to assist in an experiment we
had little argument to produce. Then
it was all theory; now IL has changed to
facts. The results rs will be shown by
the reports Of this year will be an argu-
mcnt in and of itself far more potent than
all the theories ever invented to lead TO
all former appropriations. The mills
have visited have made 500 900 pounds
of sugar, and the end of the season will
show to their credit 900, 900 pounds.
The other mills of the state may pro-
duce more than an nOther 600 600 pounds,
which, it will be remembered, is II re-
markable gain over last year. Then
the most encouraging thing about the
whole business is that this year the cost
of production has been so radically de-
creased that it begins TO look like bust
ness to engage III the sugar business.
When it gets to "A business basis many
more mills will be started, and Kansas
will become famous for its sugar as
well as for some other things, and it is
not only in the making Of sugar that [
find so much cause for encouragement,
but also in the production of cane. Tho
cane is very fine yielding better than
was even Anticipated. AS to quantity
it was supposed two and three years ago
that nine and ten tons per acre was tho
limit, but this year southern Kansas has
many acres showing ten and fourteen
tons. AS to quality it has been i'm
proved quite rapidly while II and
i3 per cent a few years ago was
the best ever analyzed. / am cred
IDLY informed that at Sterling, where
the improvement OF cane is made a
speciality, it has been increased to 20
per cent, the highest point known. In
the plants have visited the operators
tell me the quality is much better aud
rs observed in the results.
'Oh, yes, l think Kansas will get an-
other appropriation for next year OF the
$50, 900 for sugar making appropriated.
Last year Kansas got about $50, 900.
Next year 1 think it viii be easier 10
get an appropriation than it was last
year, and, also, we will be able TO get
more OF it. The state could use to an
advantage 100000, but what II will be
able 10 get remains TO be seem"

An AMERICAN MERCHANT NAVY

An MERICAN MERCHANT NAVY
Henry w. Cramp, of Philadelphia,
one of the noted firm of ship builders
who constructed the fast government
cruiser Baltimore, recently made some
interesting suggestions in an eastern
paper regarding the upbuildiug of an
American merchant marine. Mr.. Cramp
thinks that the American registration
of Amcricanbuilt ships should be con-
tinued and that the coastwise traffic
must be limited, as at present, to ships
of American construction. He believes
that great impetus to ship building
would be given if the government
| would follow the example of the
French and give construction
premium equal to two dollars q ton on
wooden built ships under two hundred
| tons; four dollars IL ton on those over
| two hundred tons, and twelve dollars a
| ton on iron ships on the express condi-
| tion that all such steamships as should
| be built on plans approved beforehand
| by the navy department so as to be
readily converted into cruisers, should
| receive fifteen per cent additional
| bounty.
| After the result OF the Inter-Ameri-
can congress is known and if it should
| be so favorable as to warrant the belief
that our South American trade will be
increased, it may prove feasible to adopt
I in part at least the plans advocated
by Mr.. Cramp. The ideas suggested
are not novel and are now in force in
other countries, where they are working
we'll France by this method has built
up and is maintaining an excellent mer-
chant marine, and England has under
her control all the ocean grayhounds of
the Atlantic, which upon a few days
notice can be converted into fast naval
| cruisers

HILL In THE iSlITIlH-

The visit OF Governor Hill to Atlanta,
Georgia, where he went by invitation
to be present at the opening of the eX-
position, may or laay not help on his
presidential boom, but it will not fail
to make the friends of Mr.. Grover
Cleveland a little uneasy. Mr.. Hill
has not hitherto cultivated the south.
He has been largely content with main
tanning his control of the democratic
machine in New York, which is a
task requiring no small amount
of political skill, but having
pretty thoroughly demonstrated his
ability to do this he may now find it ex-
pedient to seek new fields of conquest,
He has made but brief stay in the
south and traversed very little Of its
territory, but he has broken the ice, and
it would seem has made good impress
sion, He has had the qualification Of
hearing his name mentioned there in
connection with the presidency, and
the opportunity given him TO say en-
couraging things to the southern people
has been very fully improved. Gov
ernor Hill is said TO contemplate trip
TO the west, but however this may be it
is certain that he is intending to widen
the scope of his activity. There is rea-
son to believe that the fact is not
viewed with entire unconcern by the
more ardent friends OF the ex-president,

TIE republican candidates for county
commissioners, Messrs. Berlin and
Smith, are in every respect better quail
fled for managing the affairs Of this
county than Corrigan and McGinnis,
the democratic candidates. Berlin is
we'll and favorably known as n progress
i've, energetic young man, and Mr..
Smith is recommended by those who
have known him for years as business
man whose word is as good as his bond.
The taxpayers of this county,
regardless of party demand n radical
change in the board of commissioners.
The grading job and hospital swindle
are too fresh TO be forgotten. The only
way they can secure such change is by
electing Berlin and Smith. We must
have business men to manage our
county affairs.

1t,r rpdrDy IN uoNrANA,

In view OF the alleged frauds in the
late election in Montana, which was
held under the Australian ballot system,
the advocates of the system will have TO
qualify their claim that 1t is
certain preventive OF ballot cor
ruption. The republicans charge
that there was fraudulent voting in
precinct OF Silver Bow county, the ef-
feet OF which was to defeat six repub-
licans and elect six democrats to the
legislature, and, upon Investigation, the
canvassing board threw out the pre-
cinct. This action is subject to re-
vision, and the courts will pass
upon the charge, but meantime the
fair presumption is that the board found
good reasons for its course. Making all
reasonable allowance for partisan de-
signs in the matter, it is not to be fairly
supposed that the canvassing board,
knowing that its action was subject to
judicial revision, would have thrown
out the precinct unless ii found substan-
tial grounds for believing that fraud
had been practiccd. But this case is
not al ne in evidence that the
Australian system is not an abso-
Lutte remedy FOR election frauds. There
are allegations of fraudulent voting
in other districts, and the fact that no
official cognizance has been taken OF
them does not necessarily show that
they arc groundless. The first expert
ment with the Australian ballot system
in Montana can not be held to have
been conclusi vc of the merits claimed
for that system.
1t is apprehended that the contest
growing out of the alleged frauds In
Montana will excl ude her from the
presidents proclamation, expected at
an early day, admitting the new states.
1t is possible the president may
wait reasonable time for ju-
dicial revision of the cunvassing boards
| action, as he may do without embar-
! RAISING any Of the new states, but the
chances are that the admission of Mon
tana will be delayed. This would be un-
fortunate only so far as it would destroy
the harmony of the proceedings thus
far in connection with the creation OF
the four new states. But no effort should
be spared to ascertain whether or not
the allegations of fraud are well
founded. The new state must not
be admitted until these charges
are cleared up. however great the
delay, and in the Investigation
and decision OF this matter it
| will be the duty of the national
administration not to concern itself to
the least extent. 1t is an affair of the
people of Montana TO be settled in the
way and by the methods provided,
without any outside interference. 1t
has been reported that the president
has been asked to remove the Judge be-
| fore whom the Silver Bow contest will
| be heard, and who is democrat, and ap-
point republican in his stead. While
| it is possible there are some among
! the republican leaders of Mon
tana who would have the toner
ity to make a request of this
| kind of the president, there
is not the least probability that
it would receive Il moments favorable
consideration at Washington. The OBJ
vious duty of the administration is to
| keep itself entirely free from any inter-
ference or influence in connection with
this contest, and undoubtedly it will
do so.

THERE appears to be some question
IN Washington as to the legality of the
action OF the South Dakota legislature
in convening and electing United States
senators. The point is made that there
is really no state legislature until there
is state, and there can be no state
until the president has SO declared by
proclamation. The technicality thus
raised is interesting, but in any event
the country knows who are certain to
represent South Dakota in the national
