THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

For the year ending July |. 1890, the to-
tal production of sugar in the world was
il556,opo.oOp pounds OF this aggregate
the European beet contributed !. ioo. COO 600
pounds. leaving 4, 400, 600 900 to be credited
30 the tropical cane. OF cane sugar. I.S40.-
10000 pounds came from the Spanish
West Indies; from the other West Indian
islands and Guiana came -. O10oO0; from
Brazil and Peru. SG0, 900; from Lou
isiana, 250o0Q coo; from Hawaii, 2iO.oa.-
on; while I. $50 Oo0,oo0 came from the Eas,
Indies and africa. OF the sugar imported
into the United States in 1890. some q ner
cent. came from Cubs and Porto Rico. lS
from the British West Indies, from
Brazil and other countries on the Ameri-
can continent, IL from Hawaii, and IL
from the East Indies; the remainingls per
cent. is reterable to importations of beet
sugar from Europe. Cane sugar has been
supplanted by beet sugar in Europe. and
the cane industry is declining everywhere
outside of the West Indies under the pres-
sure Of low prices.
The United States consumed in 1891
! ,SS5,99i tons of sugar. or 3iS. 2iS more than
In the previous year. OF this amount only
some 25o0oo tons were of domestic growth.
For these sugar facts We are indebted TO
the Iscricaa AgrieUiturtst. journal that
believes sugar production IS likely in the
future to show a large increase in the
United States. Florida contains large
tracts Of land as well saited 10 the cane as
the Hawaiian plantations. There is
vast section OF the United States where
sugar bee;s OF exceptional richness can be
grown as successfully as IN Europe. Some
experiments recently made in Nebraska

BEAUTIFY THE CITY.

The people Of Seattle have within the
past two years made excellent progress in
the work Of identifying the city by de-
voting attention to their lawns and gar
dens. A few years ago well KEEP. lawn
was an exception TO the general rule.
Now there are few houses On our residence
streets whose inhabitants do not make
some effort to cultivate flowers or to keep
their grass plot green and well trimmed.
Although much has been accomplished
for the identifying Of the city, much re-
mains TO be done. There are still to be
seen gardens where the lawn mower is I'M
known and where water fails only when
nature sends it. This is the proper time
TO begin the improvement of such gar
dens. and every person who does his duty
in identifying his own home can have
the pleasure of feeling that he has as
sisted in some degree in adding to the
general beauty and attractiveness of the
city.
In the matter of shade trees, also, there
is room for vast improvement. The num-
Der of househoIders who have set out
shade trees before their homes is ridicu-
lousy small. On a few residence streets
notably Madison-a concerted effort has
been made to set out trees, and most OF
them have grown beautifully in spite of
tine TACT that they have been shamefnIly
neglected. More attention should be paid
20 these trees, and efforts should be made
10 have shade trees set out throughout the
residence districts of the city.
There is no place where the lover of
flowers and trees reaps a moro certain re-
ward than here. With only little care
and attention grass is kept green and
beautiful. Flowers bloom abundantly.
Trees. if the proper varieties are chosen,
grow rapidly and luxuriantly. Seattle
could easily be made most beautiful city.
and each property-owner should do his
share toward making it such.

COLLEGE REPUBLICANS.

A movement is on foot among the coll
leRe students of the country to organize .
national Republican club which shall
have branches in all the institutions of
higher education. A convention with
this object in view will be held at the
University CT Michigan on May II. 1t
is expected that all the leading colleges
will be represented at this meeting and
that addresses will be delivered by many
of the most prominent leaders of the
Republican party.
This move Is in the right direction.
The influence of the colleges has long
been in favor Of free trade. The learned
professors have laid before the students
the attractive theories of Adam Smith,
Ricardo and Golden. The result is that
college graduates are usually free traders
until they have mingled for few years in
active business or professional life. Their
theories are soon worn out by contact
with experience, and they see and appre-
ciate the benefits of protection. But, in
the meantime, the years of their most
enthusiastic manhood have passed and
their work in propagating false and harm
full theories of government is not easily
undone.
Any influence which tends TO set the
college man right on the great economic
questions of the day is deserving of en-
couragement and support. Such an
organization of the Republican students
of the country as is proposed cannot fail
to be productive of good. 1t is TO be
hoped that the new organization will be
a powerful and permanent influence in
favor Of Republicanism and good govern

A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK,

The Republicans of Seattle have every
reason to feel pleased with the prospect
of their party for success in the approach
ing municipal election. The work of
preliminary organization is progressing
satisfactorily. and the ward meetings are
not only well attended but they are
attended by . class of citizens who
interest themselves in politics only when
they feel that important issues are at
stake.
There are several reasons for this ex-
traordinary interest Good citizens feel
that it is time for them to take an active
part in shaping the government of the
city. In addition to this it is generally
felt that the result Of the municipal cleo
ton next month will have a potent influ-
ence upon the result in this state of the
more important contest in November.
This will be Washington's first participa-
ton in presidential election, and the Re-
phblicans of the state mean to see that
its electoral votes are cast for a Repub-
iican candidate.
With a clean ticket the Republicans can
carry Seattle by good majority. All that
is necessary is TO have the party vote
registered and cast. And now is the time
TO attend to the registration. No Republic
can should longer delay this important
duty

THE WAR CLOUD VANISHING.

1t is evident that the likelihood Of war
between the United States and Chile has
greatly lessened within the past twenty
four hours. The tension has apparently
been relieved by the receipt OF reassuring
advices from Valparaiso. and there IS now
more than ever reason 10 believe that
there will be found solution Of the diff
Guilty which will be peaceful IS well as
honorable TO both of the governments
concerned.
That peaceful settlement may be
reached is most earnestly 70 be desired.
The American people are not willing to go
TO war except as last extremity, and war
with Chile would be particularly unfortu-
nate at this time. 1t would blight our
growing commercial relations with the
countries of South America, and would
render worthless all that has been done to
establish general and lasting peace on
this hemisphere. Il could produce no
great and permanent result essential to
the progress of humanity or the logical de-
velopment of history.
The honor Of nation is not always de-
pendent on the sword. Peace with honor
and not successful war should be the OBJ
ject of the prayer of all civilized peoples.
1t is not possible that war with Chile
would be in any degree a benefit or
blessing to the people of the United
States. If its horrors are to be avoided, no
American who intelligently loves his
country should regret seeing the govern
ment choose the path which leads to peace
with honor

MEN WHO MAKE Us LAUGH.

IL Is one OF the strange contradictions of
life that those who have made it their
peculiar business to make the world laugh
before the footlights do more crying than
laughing behind the scenes. Cervantes,
Moliere, Butler, Pope, Goldsmith, Field
ing. Byron, Lamb, Scott, Hood, Heine,
George Eliot and Thackeray, who have all
strongly moved the world to laughter, all
drank deeply of trouble and tears before
they tasted Of death. The "funny men"
of the stage are seldom blithe and happy
fellows in private life. The fellow who
has the happiest and most contented life
is seldom one whose chief public fame is
that of man who has made the world
lausA.
The man who makes the world laugh
loudest and longest is not generally the
man who laughs. In private life
not seldom the humorist or the come
dian is the man of many sorrows.
who worships at the shrine of what De
Quncey called "our Lady of Pain" The
life OF Tom Hood was no comedy; it was
life of indomitable toll, early and late,
10 take care of his wife and children.
Hood was pure husband, faithful and
tender father, and always a sober man.
He died at AZ, his naturally rather feeble
constitution prematurely worn out bv his
i'll paid labor. He never printed a line
that would make the most delicate woman
blush; his fun was pure humor. without
faint of coarseness in it. His poems of
sentiment, like The Bridge of Signs"
The Lady's Dream" and THE Song of IN,
Shirt" have placed his name among i'm.
mortsls; his muse was voice of mercy
for the erring; OF charity for the poor: of
compassion for the wretched. His life
WAS 8 tragedy Of honest toll and domestic
poverty; not . comedy of eonviviality or
dehsuchery st any time.
Nor was the life of Lamb comedy.
Lamb had sister subject 10 periodical
attacks of insanity, in one OF which she
killed her mother. Lamb devoted his life

woman he wanted 30 marry 10 care for
this sister; he lived with her always; he
refused 90 turn her over TO the care of
others, and while in his old age he
had weakness for too much drink,
he was 10 the last hour OF his life

Hood he never wrote 8 rotten or indeli-
