The other day. after the House

TIRE other day, after the House
of Representatives had spent an en-
tire afternoon making little or no
apparent progress with an appro-
priation bill, the chairman of the
committee of the whole appeared
before the Speaker, and made the
usual announcement that the com
mittee had had the bill under con
sideration, but had come to no con .
clusion thereon.
"That sounds" said ex-Speaker
Reed, in penetrating soto U0ice,
"like Democratic House"
The laughter caused by Mr..
Reeds remark has been echoed

tive Burrows summed up the kepub-

Good Things From Mr.. Reed.

ter recently from a Montana man,
in which the writer stated that he
had bet that the Democrats had
adopted the rule of last Congress
authorizing the counting Of q
quorum. He wanted Mr.. Reed t.
tell him if he was right.
"The Democrats have not adopt
ed the rule" wrote Mr.. Reed il
reply, "but the Supreme Court has
The man who bets that the Dem
ocratic party will act with sense at
any time ought to have long odds"
Another story about Mr.. Reed is
current A few days ago he de
fined statesman to be a successful
politician-who is dead. Yesterday
q Boston man telegraphed him this
terse inquiry:
"Why don't you die?"
"Not yet" replied Mr.. Reed.

minds"

Wisconsin's Sugar Beets.

The beets raised on the expert
mental farm at Madison last year
were very small, but owing to the
dryness of the season they con-
tanned an unnatural amount OF
sugar with a small amount of juice.
The average percentage of sugar
was 1880.
The beets raised experiment tally
by farmers in different parts of
Wisconsin and sent to Washington
last fall, did not make good
showing in the analyses, only two
samples analyzing above Is per
cent. of sugar in the juice, and
only nine out of twenty above IL
per cent. The beets were uudoubt
eddy harvested too early They
were forwarded during the first
days of October, and must have
been harvested between September
Is and rs.
OF the 373 samples of beets re-
ceived at the University Expert
ment Station from farmers in all
parts of the state, l75 samples
showed above IS per cent. of sugar
in the juice, the richest being 1882
per cent. and the poorest 7.l2 pei
cent.
1t is estimated that an average OF
Is per cent. would bring net in
come Of S23 per acre.

THERE is no more intensely
American and native element of
the population than she farming
element. When they go into the
market they would prefer to buy
an article of American production
simply because 1t Is American.
They arc untainted with the fop-
pish folly of some of the jewellers
in cities that makes even an article
OF home production sell better with
a foreign trade mark on it. They
are imbued with a patriotic pride
of country that leads them toprefer
the homemade article Herein lies
the strength of the protective
policy with the farmers.

The Democratic press in general
announce that the price in Amer
lean wool has declined within the
last year OF TWO much more than
that Of the foreign article. This
is NOT SO, though about as near the
truth as they ever get in treating of
the tariff. The average fall on
foreign WOODS during the last four
teen months is 80 per cent, while
the average fall on domestic grades
is only A per cent. The fall
throughout the world is due to the
immensely increased production.
So, instead. of the Mckinley law
beng responsible for the fall, it is
but reasonable to conclude that 1t
has checked our wool growers from
suffering in proportion to those of
other countries.

SOME OF the Democratic Estates
men" in Congress have been making
buucombe speeches about The "tariif
tax on salt" The Mckinley tariff
on salt is twelve cents per 100
pounds. Salt is now selling by the
barrel at a price which, the cost of
the barrel being deducted, amounts
to about ten cents per 100 pounds.
SO it appears that "Jax" on salt is
nothing, minus two cents.

by telegraph in regard to Chilean
matters has entailed very
large outlay amounting probably
to $4,000. At least $4,000 has been
spent for cablegrams received and sent
by the Office of the Secretary of the
Navy alone, and does not include the
dispatches to and from the Bureau OF
Navigation. The State Departments
cablegram tolls also amount to very
large figure, us the correspondence with
Minister Egan has been voluminous.
While all this expensive correspondence
has been going on since last October,
the Navy Department people, at least,
cannot sec that anything has been
gained from it in the way of settling
the difficulties.
1t may be the policy of the Navy De-
partment to concentrate soon a large
force of war vessels in the South Pa
cifc. Not less than ten of the new
ships the San francisco, Chicago,
Baltimore, Charleston, Yorktown,
Boston, Concord, Bennington, Atlanta
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with
several Of the older wooden vessels,
will shortly be grouped in or near
Chilean waters.
Nothing could be better calculated
than this to open the eyes Of
the Chileans to the risk they would
run in fighting us, and to lring
them to their senses in negotiations
with us.

States now numbers about 100000
