FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
Henry Cabot Lodge Comes to the
Front With His Hill A


WASHINGTON, March .-Representa.
tive Lodge introduced his Federal elec-
ton bill in the House today. The bill is
combination Of the Australian system
with Federal control of the elections.
The Australian system, as in force in
Massachusetts, is adopted and applied to
the whole country in all Congressional
and Presidential elections. Voters who
cannot read and write, and consequently
cannot mark their own tickets, may have
their tickets marked for them by one oil
the supervisors in the presence of an
other representing the opposite party.
Primarily the elections are in control Of
the States, but upon the petition OF
five hundred voters of any dis
trict, the Federal Government assumes
all the functions of the State, and takes
absolute control of the polls under the
same regulations which apply to State
control. A voter who purposely allows
any one to know how he is about to Vote
or any pereon who endeavors to induce a
voter to show his marked ballot, shall be
subject to fine of from $50 to $500. and
larger fines and penalties are to be i'm.
posed for the estruction of election
posters or supplies, or for filling false
certificates or nominations, or for the
failure of election officers in their duties.
Challenges are not to be entertained for
the purpose of delaying voting. To
maintain order at elections is also pro.
vided for. The bill carries an appropria.
ton of $500, 900.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
New York and st. Louis People Dis.
posed to BE ObstreperOus.


posed to BE ObstreperOus.
WASHINGTON, March I5.-For the first
time since the House decided the ques.
ton of site, the full committee on the
Worlds Fair met today, and received a
report from the subcommittee in the
shape OF q bill providing for the fair,
with amendments made to suit the wishes
Of the Chicago people. The proceedings
we're not entirely harmonious, and before
the conclusion of the session it became
tives were disposed to differ from the sub
committee in respect to the financial
scheme and other important details.
As soon as the first section of the bill
had been read (providing for the fair to
be inaugurated in 1892 in Chicago),
Hatch moved to strike out the word ''in-
augurated," and insert "held," his ob-
ect being to require the fair to be held in
1892, and not in 1898. Rejected.
Another divergence of opinion was
manifested when the fifth section was
reached. This section empowers the
National Commission to accept the sita
and plans of building rendered by the
Illinois corporation after they are salts
fed "that said corporation has an ac-
tua, bona tide and valid subscription to
its capital stock OF at least Eve million
dollars, of which not less than five hun.
dred thousand dollars is paid, and that
further sum of five millions, making in
all ten millions, can be provided by said
corporation in ample time for it's needfu
use during the prosecution of the work
for the complete preparation for said ex
position"
Belden offered resolution to the effect
that it was inexpedient to adopt bill or
the subject of Worlds Fair until
Chicago furnished site and ten million
dollars security. This resolution was de
bated at some length, and modified so al
to read as follows: when a guarante,
fund of ten million dollars shall be se
cured, the sufficiency and legality o
which shall be satisfactory, the commit
tee will report the pending bill, witt
such amendments as the committe,
may agree upon"
The debate upon this proposition wa
continued until the committee becam
weary, and they Immediately adjourne,
until Monday.
The chairman and Hit and Bowdel
and Springer expressed the opinion tha
OulCdSO uSu hlfoduy given huLlCl6ut guar
antees, but the New York and st. Loui
people insisted upon having the matte
more accurately defined.
During the discussion the chairman
presented paper signed by Lyman
Gage, chairman of the finance committe
of Chicago, in which he stated that vali
subscriptions had been made to tine Iii
nois corporation to the amount of fiv
million dollars and more, and that b
assured the committee an additional fiv
million dollars would be forthcoming TO
the purposes of the fair in ample time
as was duly provided for in the bill.
The bill reported by the sub. committe
is similar in many respects to the bill
originally reported to the House.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-03-16
Rect sugar.

A very thorough test is being made OF
epgar-beet growing on the Chino ranch.
The experiments are proving successful
in the very highest degree. The per-
centage runs at IA to over 20 per cent.
saccharine matter Of the purest quality.
Nor is this ALL In Germany, and so far
as known in this State, too, the beets
have to be harvested wit hin sixty days of
their first maturity, as after that time
there is very rapid deterioration in
their sugar-producing qualities. Such is
not the case in this section. Beets are
being tested on the Chino that have been
in the ground for full year. After the
unusually heavy rains of the past winter
some of the lower levels of the ranch
are still under water. Beets are being
taken from this wet land that are year
old, and they are yielding IA per cent.
and more of sugar. This means that
sugar factory in Southern California is
not dead capital for very large portion
of the year, but that on the contrary the
plant is live investment every day in
the 365.
There is very great future for this
State in beet sugar production. France
uses no other sugar than that made from
beets. The same is true of Germany.
In both these countries the industry was
set on foot, nourished to strength and is
now maintained in vigor by means of
government subsidies. 1t will be more
in keeping with the traditional policy of
the United States if the protective duty
is maintsined Oh imported sugar, than to
give bounties for the production of that
of home growth.
How feasible is the establishment OF
sugar factories in this State may best be
learned from the fact that Nebraska, in
spite Of its severe climate, has enc in
successful operation. Nor need Califor-
mia be dependent on foreign capital to
develop this industry, as is proven by
W hat the farmers near Menomenee, Wis
consin, are moving to do. They have
subscribed nearly enough stock to put up
factory for themselves. A great many
capitalists desire to take some of the
stock, but the farmers demur about let
ting any part Of it out of their own
hands. Let our farmers take hold of
things in this spirit, and dull times will
soon pass away.

WE saw one of the most beautiful
clusters OF seeding oranges yesterday in
Hon T. E. Rowan's office, we have yet
seen, barring no exhibit froIn anywhere.
The fruit is large and clean, and its
golden color has that peculiar softness
which the precious metal presents in it's
purest state. Now, when we consider
that these oranges were raised upon the
Puente ranch, without irrigation, and
that the Puente ranch people have never
made specially of oranges, the fact
opens wide field of pleasant suggestion
about the scope of our orange range. Mr..
Rowland has perhaps two budded trees,
ten years old, that were placed out not as a
commercial proposition, but as an incident
of aboreal adornment to his place. Yet,
mark the result: Without irrigation, or
more than ordinary attention, he has
proved that his ranch can raise SIS fine
oranges as the best produced in the re-
nowned orange localities. AS Mr.. Row.
land holds his Puente lands at from $75
to $3.50 an acre, what fine field for the
enterprise of men of small means is
offered here.
