ONE of the largest beet sugar factories
in the world is in course of construction,
and will soon be in operation in San
Bernardino county, Cal. The work of
plowing 5000 acres with steam plows
will be finished by the middle of this
month, and the land will at once be
planted with beets. The factory will
cost $50G000, and is expected to turn
out more sugar per day than any similar
concern in the world. Forty acres of
land have been set aside for homes for
workingmen, stores, and other buildings
The company owns immense tracts of
land believed to be especially adapted
to the cultivation of the beet, and the
present establishment is but the begin
ming of what will, in few years, be the
largest sugar producing enterprise in
the world This is the fault of the
Mckinley bill.

BY A BIG MAJORITY.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Gen. Keifer doubts the wisdom OF
nominating Mr.. Mckinley for Governor
He fears that the farmers, '"who believe
in protection only for articles which
they themselves produce" will oppose
him. Gen. Keifer pays the farmers OF
Ohio poor compliment. AS class,
they read carefully and ponder deeply.
They can readily see that the narrow
policy of protecting farm produce alone
is nonsense; besides, were they commit
ted to such policy, they are not such
ninnies as to suppose that the defeat of
Mckinley and the election of free
trade Democrat would accomplish their
desires. Several other good Republi-
cans there are in Ohio, any one of whom
would make an acceptable candidate for
Governor. But there is little reason to
doubt that if Mr.. Mckinley, the ac-
knowledged National chief of the cause
of protection and prosperity for Ameri-
can industries, were nominated for Gov
ernor, he would be elected by big ma
iority

THE current number of the Century
exceeds in interest, if possible, any pre-
ceding number of that excellent maga-
zine. The sketches about the discovery
of gold in California, by which the his
tory of this country was fairly turned
into new channels, and the article on the
Cracker in the Georgia Cotton Mill''
stand out as of very great Importance
The Century editors have faculty not
so fully developed in others of striking
matters of great value to the student OF
his own country. The old style of prosy
articles of travel in foreign lands is not
and never has been prominent point
with this publication.

"NELL CAME SINGING" i"
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The train was running at high rate
of speed across the country, with every
thing apparently going well, when the
speed suddenly slackened and presently
we came to dead stop. There had
been an accident by which the engineer
had been terribly hurt, and he was
brought back to the baggage car and
one of the train men sent forward.
"How bad is it, Jim?" asked the con-
ductor, as we were trying to do what we
could for the poor fellow"
$50 bad that shan't pull through,
Tom"
Don't say that! You'll be home in
twenty minutes, and the doctor won't
find it so bad"
At the end of the time specified we
stopped at small country station, and
as the wheels ceased to roll the suffering
man looked up at the conductor and
said:
"Nell will be coming, Tom"
Eyes"
"Make it as light as you can. Poor
Nellw
And as we were lifting the burned
and bleeding body out of the side door
of the car bit of woman, wearing
the whitest of aprons and the cutest of
straw hats, came up the platform, sing
ing "Annie Laurie" She had some
flowers in her hand, culled from the lit
tie front dooryard for her Jim, and she
had almost passed us on her way to the
engine when she caught sight of our
burden, cried out in her fear and ago
ny, and fell as one dead.
"Poor Nell, she came singing" moan
ed the engineer.
"Poor Nellw whispered every one
gathered about, and for long hours as
we sped forward each signal whistle
from the hand of the man who had look
ed upon that picture of woe and misery
seemed to shrek out the words, "Pool
poor Nell!"

NOT FAIR FIGHTING.

The Continent Dem)
The Atlanta Constitution says: .'I1
the Force bill is passed we want to see
every Democratic State ignore the Chi
cago Fair, which, after all, is Republi-
can affair."" and the New York Sun
adds: "That's the talk" 1t is certain
lv is talk of a rather idle kind. No one
knows better than the Sun that the
Fair and Force bill have nothing to do
with each other The Democrat who
would try to ruin the Fair because the
Republicans insist upon the Force bill
is as logical as the man who quarrels
with his friends because he has stubbed
his toe. TIE attitude of the Sun toward
the Chicago celebration has hitherto
been so generous and commendable that
we regret to see it speak even three
words in an unworthy spirit.

The Commercial ErchGllge of Phila
delphia has added its weighty protest
against free silver coinage, in a terse
resolution that condenses the whole
question, when it says that "the Ea-
change believes that the free coinage OF
silver, in the absence of an international
agreement on the subject, would be
fraught with financial peril to the bust
ness interests of the country. 1t also
believes that the free coinage of silver
under existing conditions would be dis
honest, delusive and destructive"

INEXPENSIVE BENEvOLENCE.

i
| was in the Office of Chicago real
estate and loan agent the other day, say:
a writer in the New York San, and haC
scarcely got seated when a woman was
admitted, and asked him for subscrip.
to charity.
"With the greatest of pleasure, ma'am,
he replied, and producing check-book
he illed out check for $40. She thank
ed him very sweetly as she withdrew,
and it was only five minutes after when
a man entered and asked contribution
to some poor childrens' fund.
"Certalnly-only too g.ad," replied the
agent, and he wrote out another check
for SO.
After we had been interrupted four
times, and he had cheerfully written
four checks said to him:
"YOu certainly deserve the title of a
philanthropist."
"Well, perhaps"
"But notice that you ask no ques-
tions and take everything for granted
Have, you no fear of being swindled?"
"NOne, whatever"
"Well the people of Chicago must be
an honest crowd
"Oh, it isn't that, my dear sir. Let
me-"
Here lady entered and asked for
contribution to assist in giving free
excursion to Sunday school, and he
wrote out check for SIS and waved
har ont and continual.
"Let me explain. All those checks
are worthless, as they are drawn on a
bank where have no funds. 1 do it to
save time. All these callers come pre-
pared to argue and explain and contend,
and each one of them would sit for half
an hour. BY giving checks l secure
great reputation around the block as a
philanthropist and well-heeled man,
and it costs me nothing. When"
Here he paused to fill out check for
$40 for the establishment of a sailors
bethel, and then finished:
"When the checks are presented they
are found to be worthless, and those
holding them either get mad or see the
joke. In either case they never return,
nof do they give me away. Try it, my
boy. Saves time, money and CAB; and
it won't be month before you'll be sat
isfied that you are doing charity better
service than if you were handing out
the cold cash."

A CASE OF OVER PRODUCTION

y L .
Cleveland Leader
One simple fact should not be allowed
to escape the notice of any citizen, in
considering the matter of silver coinage
and the recent history of the silver
question. Frequently as the statistics
of the silver coinage have been pub
lished, how many Americans realize to-
day that from the opening of the United
States Mint, in 1892, down to 1873, when
silver was demonetized, the total num-
Der of silver dollars coined was only
S,045, 1888? We have no doubt that half
the voters of the East and nearly all of
those west of the Mississippi think that
when the coinage of the silver dollar
was stopped very great source of the
supply of metallic money was cut off and
the volume of the circulating medium
very seriously lessened. Nothing could
be further from the truth. At the time
when the coinage of the dollar of the
daddies,' which they seldom saw and
never could have used to any important
extent, was suspended, the silver in a
dollar had long been pretty steadily
above par in gold. There was no reason
for minting the metal, and if the pro-
duction, which, of course, really gov
erned the price, had not enormously
increased, the effect of the act of 1873
upon the circulating medium of the
United States would have been next to
nothing. Not the demonetizing of
silver followed as it was only FIVE years
later by the Bland law, but the output
of over S700,000,000 from the mines of
the United States since 1873 has forced
down silver, and made the silver dollar
unworthy of full equality with the gold
dollar. The enormous increase in silver
production would naturally have thrown
the price of silver out of joint with that
of other commodities and products, even
if its monetary status had never been
changed by legislation here or in
Germany. What the mine owners now
demand is that the government shall
endeavor to neutralize and overcome, in
their behalf, the influence of their own
mines.

OF course, the Democratic majority
in the Ohio Legislature will not permit
the resolution declaring Cal Brice to be
ineligible to represent Ohio in the Senate
to pass, but he is ineligible all the same,
as is proved by his long residence in
New York, his refusal to pay taxes in
Ohio, his membership in the Ohio Society
of New York which admits only those
from Ohio who have acquired citizenship
in New York, by his enumeration as a
citizen of New York, and by his swearing
that he was a resident of that State.

Now that the Election bill is defeated,

The foolish idea that because a man

in its work on Judge PETER. He is al

idea be suppressed at once. If PETER
