TIE EXPRESS COMPANIES.

We are favored with a marked
cory of the Freeborn County Stand
ard ian able paper, by the way) con-
tatning a number Of extracts from
other newspapers with reference to
the exorbitant charges Of the Express
Cess.
This is matter of vital importance
to most people, for most people have
more or less business with them.
The merchants Of the towns outside
the large cities are obliged to do a
large business with these companies,
and they are made to groan under the
burden. The newspapers are in duty
bound to stand by the merchants, for
they are the main support of the
papers, and to fight for them against
all monopolies; but in this case the
papers are in the same boat with the
merchants.
Close estimates prove that the am.
cunt paid by the newspapers of this
state in a year to these express COM
panies is $4,000. This 10 about
double what the service is worth and
is high handed robbery. We think
1t Is time to call halt and see il we
cannot repair the fences.
The Express Co.'S. are corporations
of vast magnitude;and the whole sys.
ten is owned by few milliOnaires,
who are adding million to million
without twinge Of conscience. The
wonder is, how these monupolies
have escaped SO long the scrutiny Of
the public, while state and nation
have been enacting laws to restrain
railroads and other monopolies. They
are not even taxed to help their vic.
Tins to pay current expenses for
town, county and state purposes.
We earnestly call upon our legis-
lators in St. Paul this winter to begin
reform on this line; and we earnest,
ly call Upon the newspapers Of this
section of the state to take this mat
ter up, and keep at it until We get
some relief. The press of the state
should lead in all reforms; let US be-
gin now with this one.

The SUGAR REET.

Now that the election Is over, IL II
we'll to consider that though the
Democrats and Alliance got Ill they
could hope for, and that Legislation In
necessary, yet there are otnef Slaan
political questions required FOR snc'
cess In life. We cannot live on the
victory of 1890 until 1892 in hopes of
obtaining another and greater one.
In the meantime We must be working
to solve the problem Of how TO make
life the greatest success materially.
We have discussed the fax Ques'
tion more or less, and there are many
other questions of Importance to be
discussed. Among others, the cnl'
tivation Of the sugar beet commands
attention. 1t may not be generally
known that Germany exported to the
United States last year over 200, o00.'
QUO pounds OF beet sugar. but such Is
the fact. She produced 1900
tons for the year, and she pays two
cents per pound bounty.
There are 100000 sugar beet fac
tories i'll Europe, all prospecting.
With lald and climate as good as any
IN the world we ought to be as well
able 10 make beet sugar as wheat
-four. The reason we do not raise
such a variety, or as much per acre
as they of F. rope do, is because We
have an unlimited supply of land.
! When we are little more crowded
we VIII doubtless find means to make
the land produce more aOundantly
and we are coming to that state
pretty rapidly. B..
Farmers should begin at once to
experiment with the sugar beet, and
stop this enormous drain of money
from the country for what We can
produce at home. The amount of
money sent out of the U. s. annually
for sugar is $50, 100000. Just think
OF the amount of wheat required for
this sweet purchase. And while
wheat yields from to 10 bushels pei
acre, the sugar beet in Europe yields
from IS 10 20 per acre. Farmers
think about this matter and give it .
thorough trial during the political re
cess from % to 90, and you viii
! strike a bonanza.

"Well," she answered." it is AZ you take
it. In Italy we get from $50 to $50 francs
($50 to S70) a month, but living is very
much cheaper than here in America, where
salaries range from 500 francs to 750 ($100
to $500. We pay 65 cents in Italy for
satin slippers, which cost here 81. For 100

America, which is 125 francs more month. :"

the German, though Russia has produced
some very clever ballet material.
Comparatively few men are in the busi-
ness; those who have studied the art soon
leave the ranks of ballet dancers to open
a dancing school or to assume positions az
leaders OF the ballet. Filiberto Marchetti,
the master of the ballet Pittsburg enjoyed
last week, began his studies at the conserva-
tory in Turin, when eight years old. For
eight years he held position at the Opera
Khediviale in Cairo. Egypt, where he had
charge of 100 ballet dancers. Signor Marchetti
regrets that the ballet does not ind Its
proper artistic recognition in America,
where it is as yet considered in the light
of an accessory. Such thing as an entire
piece in which dance and pantomime
express emotions and interpret the action OF
the play is unknown here.
Career Of Favorire.
Fraulein Clara Quafitz, the prima bal
, lerina, made many friends IN the city last
week. She was born in Budapesth, Hun
gary. and began to dance at the age of 3.
Unlike the ordinary ballet dancer, she
never danced in the line, appearing as prima
ballerina in Piacenza, Italy; at the age of
II. She has been prima ballerlna ever
since, appearing in all the large cities OF the
world.
"How did I acquire the ability to dance
on my toes for any length ot time?" she
laughed when I was introduced to her. "How
do people learn to excel in anything but by
hard work and constant practice"
"Do 1 like dancing? Why, my entire
soul is with my art, and here Miss Qualitz
went into the little rhapsodies which artists
indulge in when they possess true inspira-
tions.

Royal in Scrape.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.l
A great scandal has lately taken place
in the Uhlan barracks at Stuttgart, and
which the Court is doing its utmost to keep
quiet, but gossip from there sends me the
following details: On dark November
evening the Colonel of the Nineteenth Uhlsn
Regiment Qmperial Army paid an une1-
pected visit to the hall reserved for the
special use of the officers, in the middle of
which he saw ballet girls dancing. In the
room were several officers and six
women, and it is said that among
the whirling ballet dancers a prince
of the blood royal was seen.
The other officers belong to the most
notable families of the German aristocracy;
they were all dismissed the service, notwith-
standing the highest influence being used to
try and get the Emperor to relent; but he
would listen to no such thing, for the men
had brought disgrace on his well-beloved
army.
The royal Prince was obliged to leave at
once for Vienna, so tnat be might make
valid the alibi in his favor. Naturally, the
officers who have suffered punishment are
very wroth with the partislity shown; but
the Colonel, to quiet them, told them to
send in list of their debts. An endless
list was sent In, which were duly paid. Il
might be asked, "Who paid them7'
