We went down in the dinin' room, and

The Coming Farmer.

The farmer of the future will have
better machinery and implements with
which to cultivate his farm. He will
make better use of his brains. which
will allow him more rest from manual
labor. The coming farmer will not go
it alone, but will unite with his fellow
farmers. He will realize that Gin union
is strength The time will come when
there will be farmers society in every
farming community. The tide is al
ready drifting that way. New organi-
cations spring up almost daily. These
schools, as we may call them, will help
the farmer to educate himself. Here
he can meet with brother farmers, dis
cuss questions of importance, and If he
has discovered any thing new can tell
his neighbors about it. The women
also can meet here and consider house
hold affairs All can decide what they
want to buy and send in large orders,
getting reduced prices These societies
will aid farmers to educate their sons,
so that when they grow up they can
combine, elect their wisest men and
send them to the Legislature, and even
to the White House. They have filled
these places before, and they can I'LL
them again.-Farm and Home.

A NEW FARMING INDUSTRY.
The Beet Sugar BUSINESS in the West

The Beet Sugar Business in the West
It's Growth In Nebraska.
The beet sugar industry has received
a great boom in Nebraska. Three years
experience has shown that beets can be
grown in that State containing from IL
to % per cent. of sucrose or actual SUI
gar. After two years investigation
beet sugar factory has been located at
Grand Island, Hall County, with cap
ital of a million dollars. The factory
will not only produce raw sugar, but
will include first-class refinery, school
for the instruction of farmers in the cul-
tivation of beets, and an experimental
station, French and also German ex-
pert having already been engaged. The
company has secured 5, 600 acres of good
beet land, and an association of local
public-spirited business men has guar
anteed to grow 5000 acres of beets for
three years under the supervision of the
factory superintendent, for which they
are to be paid So a ton for beets con-
tanning IL per cent. sucrose, with an addi-
tional payment Of CSC. for each per cent.
of sucrose in excess of this amount.
The factory buildings are being rapid
ly put up. The main structure is 292xs5
#. and four stories high. The ma
cbinery is already on the way from
Europe, and the whole enterprise is in
charge of competent experts as well as
ample capitalists The plant will work
up 600 tons of beets daily, producing IS
tons of sugar per day. The working
season will be about IS days, consum-
ing 5000 tons of beets, the product of
5000 acres, at an average of Is tons per
acre. Nebraska has voted bounty of
1c. per 1b on all sugar made in the State,
and Senator Henderson has introduced
I'LL in Congress providing for an adj
ditional bounty of s5c. per 100 lbs of
sugar, and also liberal bounty for
every ton of beets grown by the farmer.
The farmers beet sugar factory at AL
varado, CAL, which has been running
several years. is now quite prosperous.
Spreckel's California beet sugar works
are also doing we'll. These are the only
two plants of the kind; Nebraska's will
be the third in the United States. Beet
sugar-making failed in New York and
Massachusetts,.

The Pacific railroad funding scheme
Is omitted from the above list. Speaker
Reed is especially concerned about this
scheme, and will force it through at the
earliest opportunity. He will also use
his power to pass the tariff bill which
the attorneys Of the protected monopo-
lies are fixing up for the ways and means
committee.
Mr.. Reed has not set up as a Gar. nor
have the Republican leaders formulated
their infamous code Of rules merely as
partisans. The work was done at the
instance of the lobby, and the lobby will
reap the benefits. We shall be sur
prised if Speaker Reed does not find his
single term in the chair as profitable as
were Mr.. Blaine's years of service as
Speaker. And it will be remembered
that Mr.. Blaine took the chair a poor
man and came out q millionaire.-In-

there when a young man, in the
days when the desperate ruled the

A meat az figured prominently in many of
my experiences, but the Texas rufian has
taken back seat. He has been knocked
out by the railroads. There are to-day few
interior towns in Texas. The gridiron Of
roads reaches almost every place, and it is
impossible for g man to commit crime and

THE DUaUEsNE WINS AGAIN.
Judge Stowe Refuses Another Injunction
Against the New Company.

Judge Stowe Refuses Another Injunction
Against the New Company.
Judge Stowe yesterday handed down an
opinion refusing the injunction asked for in
the case of Charles Lockhart and others
against the Craig Street Railway Company
and the Duquesne Traction Company, to re-
strain them from constructing their railway
on Negley avenue. Judge Stowe, in his
opinion, said that all the questions merged
into one-whether the defendants have
shown the legal right to construct and
operate railway on Negley avenue. This
involves the proper Interpretation OF the
defendants charters, the constitutionallty OF
the act under which they were granted and
the validity of the ordinances of the city
giving them the right to build and operate
the road in question. Continuing, he said
that the power of the Legislature to author
ize the incorporation of companies, with
power to build and operate railways, cannot
be doubted.
As to the difference between horse car
line and an electric line, the Court thinks
there is nothing of which the plaintiffs can
legally complain. To whatever dust. noise,
or annoyance is incident they must submit.
If the defendants have no legal rights then
the remedy of the plaintiffs is a common law
action for all damages they may sustain.
The case is not clear enough to stop great
public improvement before final hearing.
In conclusion the injunction was refused.

THEY WILL NOT SIGN.
Many Manufacturers Dissatisfied
With the Amalgamated Scale.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE MONDAY.
Enough Extras to Equal Six-Dollar-a-Ton
Rate for Boiling.
DOINGs OF A DAY IN LABOR CIRCLES

The Amalgamated Association scale for
1S9o-91 is not receiving the signatures of
the manufacturers as rapidly as the off cials
expected it to. The conference between the
manufacturers and the men were resumed
yesterday. The meeting was held at 1o2
Fourth avenue, and lasted from 10 O'Clock
in the morning until after o'clock last
evening, with an intermission of an hour for
dinner. Last year the scale was signed
promptly by the manufacturers, without any
conferences. Three days have now been
spent on this years scale, and an amicable
settlement seems as far distant as the day
the first conference was held.
The objections to the scale seem to be of
greater weight than was at first thought.
One manufacturer argued yesterday that the
Amalgamated Association had put in
enough extra to make up for the rate talked
Of for boiling, and said that they might
better have come out squarely and asked Tor
$6 per ton, instead of S. 30 and trying to
make up the difference In extras. Vice
President Roberts, of the Association, lad
mitted last night that if the base of the
scale had been raised to Sc. he believed it
would have been signed without any diff
Guilty.
THE CHIEF OBJECTION.
The manufacturer chief objection, as has
been stated in these columns, is on the
guide mill scale. A member of the Manu-
facturers' Committee stated last night that
the matter had been under discussion the
greater part of the day, and that the manu-
facturers had made up their minds not to
sign the scale in its present shape. The
committee for the men have already made
sc s.A1 ID
upon at the recent convention, but
the manufacturers are still dissatis-
fed. The latter will not accept
the proposed scale for the roughers and
catchers. One of them said in yesterdays
conference that if they did accept it way
would be left open for the roughers and
catchers to demand more wages, and it
would not be six months until they would
want an increase. The manufacturers are
about ready to sign the scale if the men
modify it in regard to the guide mill scale,
but insist that the rollers must pay the
roughers and catchers, as heretofore.
A STIFF OBJECTION.
One Of the most strenuous objectors to the
scale is James McCutcheon, who said to a
reporter: 1--WE will not sign the scale as it
was adopted. We want last years scale.
My principal objection to the scale is on the
qualifying clauses to the boiling and certain
of the rolling scales are too severe. The
Amalgama:ed committee tell US it is not in
tended to place literal construction on all
these things yet, if we sign the scale, we
could be held to the letter. want the ex-
ira time clauses modified"
Mr.. McCutcheon is one Of a number of
manufacturers who would be willing to sign
last years scale for three years. Another
conference on the scale will be held to-mor-
row, when both sides hope a conclusion will
be reached.

trict Court, has rendered decision of great
importance to the international copyright
question. The invention by American in
genuity of very cheap process for repro

American publishers to reproduce expensive
foreign books at about one-third the price of

burgh. The Henry G. Allen COMPANY, bv

over two years reproducing the Britannica in

half to one-third the price of the original

past business resulting from the reproduc-
tion of the work.
The Henry g. Allen Company demurred
to the bill, on the grounds that, as the arti-
cles claimed as copyright have appeared
in a book, almost the whole of which be-
longs to an alien, and is not COPYRIGHTED.
the said articles are not entitled to protec.
tion by our copyright laws; and we're Sc
cured and published by the alien publishers
expressly to prevent reproduction.
Judge Shipman has overruIed the demur-
rer, and ruled that an American does not
lose title to his property by mixing Il with
an uncopyrighted book; and that a citizen
of the United States, who is the owner of a
copyright, can assign the whole OF such
copyright 10 a foreigner and he thereby
be protected by such copyright.
Unless the Supreme Court reyerses Judee
Shipman's ruling this valuable work will
be out of the reach of persons of moderate
means. 1t is probable an Injunction will
be served on the publishers of the reprints.

Court, where the case will in all probabil-

That Issue-How the Matter Was Over.
looked.
A fact that was generally overlooked In
all newspaper reports about the Republican
State Convention was the recognition made
in the resolutions adopted by that body Of
the country road question. The platforms
usually adopted at these conventions,
as everybody knows, are written before
hand. When a Committee on Resolutions
is appointed and retires, the platform as
prepared is read them. Alterations
are not generally made to 1t, out
in this instance II. II. Byram, OF Pitts
burg. a member of the committee, offered an
amendment to the platform. 1t provided
that "the forthcoming Legislature should
make an appropriation for the improve
ment of the public highways"
Some former delegate objected that this
recommendation should be attached to the
platform with a modification, because the
farmers wanted to work out road taxes in
stead Of paying them. Mr.. Byram tried to
show the man that if the roads were once
permanently improved by the State, there
would be far less taxes to be
either worked or paid upon them
than now. The force OF this statement
was shown, and the amendment to the plat
form adopted, and was so read in the con-
vention, and became with the article part
of the bulwark on which the Republican
party rests this campaign.
The platform as originally prepared had
been given out to the press in printed proof
slips. These were telegraphed all over the
State, and the country road amendment
being only single line, the addition was
scarcely observed by newspaper reporters in
the convention. For this reason newspapers,
including THE DISPATCH, printed the
platform with the road amendment omitted.
As THE DISPATCH had much to do with
arousing agitation on this important sub
ject in Pennsylvania, it is only too happy 10
publish this additional item of news about
the Republican platform.

BIZ Is THERE TO STAY,
Remarkable Work Done by Peter Wise at
the MahonIug Mine.

tue mauOntnG Nllues
Among the men working at Dunbar to re-
cover the imprisoned miners is one whose
modest demeanor has so far Jailed to gain
for him proper recognition at the hands of
the reporters. His name is Peter Wise, ex-
District Master Workman of the Knights
OF Labor and a man who has the respect
aud confidence of every coal digger in the
Connellsville district. Since the disaster
occurred he has not taken off his clothes, yet
be never complains, but works away and
keeps his mouth shut. He has the
happy knack of going to sleep anywhere,
and, wrapping his rubber coat about him,
he will lie down on the ground and in two
minutes be wandering amid the flowers and
grass OF dreamland. When he was at the
head of the miners often during some pro-
tracted labor trouble he never removed his
apparel, but slept on the ground or where
ever he could find resting place.
The other night at the Mahoning mine he
was sitting In the doctors tent, on an empty
powder can, his face black with the grimy
dirt 1t was the first time he complained
since the work of rescue was commenced,
when he remarked to Colonel Kerfoot: 81

may change, however, by fall, and it
wouldn't surprise me at all if he carried the
