Ruler Of Spain Is Hope
less.
Bishops Throughout the King
dom Ordered to Pray for
His Recovery.
The Most Threatening Feat
upe Is the Much Increased
Prostitution.
Several Magistrates In1pli-
Gated in the Club Scan
dalS in London

MADRID, Jan. AT midnight the
condition of Alfonso, the baby king of
Spain. is regarded as hopeless. The
bishops throughout the country are Or
dered to offer prayers for his recovery.
During the night he had con-
vulsions and a high fever.
At 2 O'Clock this morning it seemed
as though he was dead, but subse-
quently rallied. Senior SagaSta. the
prime minist er, has been summoned to
the palace, where he is awaiting the
end. Alfonso KILL, king Of Spain, is
the p0Sthumos son of Alfonso XII. He
was born May IL, 1856. and is therefore
three years, eight months ana twenty
three days old. He was proclaimed
king on the day of his birth, with his
MOTHER AS QUEEN REGENT.
The Official Gazette states that the
king was quiet during the early part of
the night, although he was feverish.
The fever decreased later in the night,
enabling his majesty to secure some
sleep, but at 2 O'clock in the morning
he suffered a cardical collapse, which
has not yet entirely passed over. The
king was able to take some broth this
afternoon, but his condition is still dan
gerous. The latest bulletin records a
slight increase of fever in the
kings case. Many statesmen and
diplomats are constantly calling
at the palace. Queen Christina has tele-
graphed to the emperor of Austria that
AlfonsoiS much worse. At a. III. the
gravest fears are felt for the life of AL
fonso. The threatening feature is the
much increased prostratlon. All the
leaders have advised the queen to re-
call Senior Sagasta. who has secured

BRITISH GOLD.

The New York Sun estimates the in
vestment of British capital in American
industries the past year at Slo0, OO0, 900,
and believes it will not be less the COM
ing year. 1t seems at first view desira-
bic to have capital come in from abroad
and engage in productive enterprises
without regard to the direction from
which it comes. Unless checked
by failure to return the profits
expected, or by adverse senti-
ment. or legislation, no reason
appears why the flow from over the
water should not go on indefinitely.
Opinions vary greatly as to the desir-
ability of this alien share in the indus
trles and resources of the countries.
There is no occasion for viewing 1t out
OF its material relations. If it is an ad-
vantage to the mercantile and business
interests of this country it should be
encouraged. 1t is not-a matter of senti-
ment on either side. Round figures are
charged them for all they buy. Still
it may tend somewhat to promote more
friendly relations between the citizens
OF the two countries.

FINANCES OF The DAKorAs.

Both Dakotas are in something of a
strait over their financial condition.
The recent messages of the executives
show much the same minus exhibit in
each. The serious feature is not so
much the shortage of receipts for the
coming year or two as compared to the
unavoidable expenditures, as it is the
inability to borrow for the deficiency.
The constitution stands in the way. The
trainers of those instruments evidently
foresaw the present eXigency. or perhaps
knew that severe lesson in economy
was essential in the starting in of the
new states. They knew the reckless
ness of the territorial legislatures, and
saw that new departure must be had.
The old methods were for every locality
! to demand an appropriation for some in
| stitutlon and combine with other local
| tiles for the success of mutual schemes.
AS result the states are dotted with
institutions that are of advantage to
the localities, and heavy burden to
sustain while the facilities for bringing
| in money are i'll bad shape, and the
state machine swellS the expenses
| much Of the embarrassment If half their
| public institutions had waited for
time. Each will, in a few years, have
large receipts from the lands dedicated
to the support of the schools and
institutions. but none of them
| are at once available. There is
nothing diScOuraging in the situation.
| III is guaranty OF great economy, and,
perhaps, the gulf will be bridged by
the recourse of other communities at
times, the public spirit Of local men of
wealth who advance the means to keep
the state credit good and the institu-
tons operative, waiting for repayment
from the state. Both states have citi-
! zens able to do this, who. no doubt, will
respond to the patriotic call. Should
the Legislatures and all the officials turn
all their salaries and fees into the treas
ury, it would be a good advertisement
for them and their states.

REPUBLICAN GLEE.

Republican papers are inconsider-
ateiy inclined to be gleeful over the re-
ported purpose of the party in congress
to get along without any rules. The
committee appointed to prepare them,
of which Speaker REED is the chair
man, is to report nothing of the charac-
ter in force heretofore, that gave the
minority some rights. 1t is held that
there are no rules operative until
the house has had them prepared
and adopted. The speaker can
give his own Interpretation to what is
designated common parliamentary law.
He becomes the virtual autocrat. and
his fiat will determine the question of
quorum and all the conditions of legis-
lation. 1t is graciously intimated that
if the Democrats do not like the rules
proposed they Will be allowed to vote
against them, and, should they de-
feat them, the Republicans will get
along without any rules. Under this
scheme the minority can be TO-
tally trodden over aud can assert no
rights. 1t can impose no check upon
reckless and tyrannicaI legislation. All
Democrats whose seats are contested
can be at once voted out by the partisan
majority. and all important legislation
virtually enacted by party caucus.
But the judicious Republicans will hes
ltate to approve this programme. 1t
might enable them to push through
all their party measures and

and the industry is complete success,
and will, with governmental fostering,
soon be able to sweeten the entire land.
The beet men come too, feryent in faith
if with no special evidence of results
in store. AS their industry is still
more infantile than the others,
1t is insisted that IN addition
to the tariff, there must be bounty.
This will in few years develop the plo-
duction SO as to supply the consumption
of the country also. 1t is reported that
many of the Western members of con-
gress will strongly support this policy.
But 1t is not likely to be adopted, al
though there is general desire to ell
courage the sugar manufacture. There
has been generous protection extended
to 1t in nearly all the past, and still but
about tenth of the consumption is the
home product. There has been sugar
made from both sorghum and the beet
In this country on some small scale for
quarter of century or more, and still
there is very little basis for an opinion
as to whether there can be sugar made
from either cheaply enough to establish
permanent and extensive in
dustry. Secretary RUsK has not
asserted the success in an econ
omic way of the experiments under the
government auspices in Kansas. There
are claims made for the beet in Califor-
MA, and no doubt considerable guam
tity ofsugar has been produced, but the
conditions and precise features of the
attempts in the Middle and Western
states to make sugar from the beet have
been unsatisfactory. 1t is a success in
Germany and France, but prominent
agricultural papers in this country as
Sert that the climate, soil, or some other
cause, is adverse to it in the United
States. The agricultural college at
Brookings, In South Dakota, last year
experimental with seven kinds of beets
and obtained larger per. cent of the
Saccharine element than most of the
beetS In France are said to have,
that is. from to II per cent.
This, however, added little to the
solution of the question whether
an industry could be developed
that was worth cuItivating. The
various experiment stations ought to be
able to determine the climate and soil
most favorable to the production. and
approximate the cost of making the
sugar. Tois sugar question has embar-
rassment IN it for both parties in con-
gresS. The Republicans are not as
eager to get it near the free line as they
were when they thought it was mat
ter that affected only Louisiana. The
bounty fake they find unpopular, and the
probable result will be that little change
will be made in present figures. The
trust is going down of itself.

ASYLUM MANAGEMENT.

Gov. MERRIAM did discreet thing,
aud doubtless performed good service
for the state, when he appointed DIR.
FULTON, of this city, member of the
the board of asylum trustees. 1t has
been so much the habit to consider APP
pointments of this character as the
legitimate reward for partisan services,
it is most refreshing exception when
wefind one made with sole regard to
the peculiar qualifications of the APP
pointee. DR.. FULTON is no politician,
but he is a skilled physician, who will
make his knowledge of his profession
useful in reorganizing the asylum man.
agement in this state. The GLOBE has
has heretofore called attention to the
fact that one of the great defects in our
asylum management, and the one that
was chiefly responsible for the scandal
in connection with the Rochester
asylum, was the lack of skilled
help. This statement was made
after a careful Investigation of the
management of the Rochester institu-
ton, and we gave it as our honest opin-
ion that the unfortunate occurrences
there were as liable to happen under
any other management so long as the
inefficient system was maintained. No
one knows better than a physician the
value of trained nurses and of compe-
tent assistants. But through misera-
bile sense of false economy the state has
preserved the policy of running these
institutions on cheap John plan, and,
as result, most unsatisfactory and in
efficient system of asylum management
has been adopted. The asylum officials
are not to blame for it, because they
have been powerless to remedy the de-
feet. The board of trustees has usually
been composed of politicians who were
more impressed with the necessity of
exhibiting a small expense account
than they were with the i'm
portance of maintaining the high
est standard of management, even
though it cost something to do it. We
are gratified to learn that it has been
practically agreed upon by the board of
trustees TO increase the medical force in
each of the insane asylums, and yet the
members of the board are casting
around for some device by which this
can be done without increasing the ey-
pSitSN VI liiS ltioliIubiOHs Oflt Plan
posed is TO take students from the med
zeal school of the state university and
assign them to duty at the asylum on
the theory that the experience they will
derive will compensate for their time
and services. Another suggestion is to
establish training school for nurses in
connection with one of the asylums, and
thus keep on hand competent corps of
assistants. Both of these suggestions
are practical. Something must be done
to raise the standard of asylum manage
ment. If it can be done without addi-
tional cost, so much the better. If it
cannot be done without Increasing the
expense account any, then let the addi-
tional cost he incurred. The main thing
Is to have it done, the question of cost
being one of secondary consideration.

THE TIN TAX.

The tin-plate men have had their inn
ing before the house committee, and
they want more tariff to build up their
industry. With sufficient duty on tin,
they claim that they can make all the
tin plate used in this country. Tin is
on the free list, and is quoted at the
same price in New York aud Liverpool.
More is said to be brought from mines
in Malacca and Alglers than the English
mines. Making the plates for the tin is
claimed to require skill and training,
and comparatively few artisans are
fitted for it. High wages are COM
manded. The Black Hills tin is being
put in process of development without
regard to tariff. If as. rich tin ore as
alleged, it will make its own way. The
English capitalists would not have iu-
vested their money in it, did they not
know that it was profitable to develop
under the conditions existing. An in
creased tariff on tin plate will affect the
household of every farmer in the land.
More must be paid for all tinware used,
and all canned fruit and goods will cost
more because of this increased tax. 1t
is simply another one of the details of
the system that takes from the many to
enrich the few, without c0mpensa ton
to the many.

A Phenomenal Record.

IdCOlud LeuSer.
According to the reports of the Seattle
Press and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
the city OF Seattle made the most phe-
nomenal growth the last night of the
year ever recorded in authentic history.
The Press, published on the evening of
Dec. 81, says that ''the records show
1858 new buildings erected during 1889.
of the aggregate value of S9,4S6, 1852. -
The Post-lntelligencer says that the
''list of the years buildings reaches a
total of 5, 465-the aggregate expenditure
is S13, 547, 979." Tits is an increase of |, 1872
buildings, and an increase of eXpendi-
ture of S4,061, 217-all in one night. This
is truly phenomenal. 1t beat Jonah's
gourd and"Jack and the bean stalk" all
to pieces. Oh. such night? If there
had been few more such nights III the
year, Seattle would have used up all the
timber on Puget sound. We are glad
Father Time happened along just as he
did to check the impetuosity of the Seat
tie builders, for Tacoma will require
several thousand feet of lumber to sup
ply the existing want for new buildings,
and it would have been a disappoint-
ment to US if the supply had been ex-
hauSted.
