The disposition Of the democratic pres,
to fight tho beet sugar 16dustry, especially
in the vest; u something that We ca1no1
understand; but It Is Z fact, - illustrated
BY the foreoinx, ard haa t. be met.
We have Qnoted the KEYsTpNE's 70
marks very fully, in order to show clearly
the line Of argument that our democratic
friends adopt. A. N abstract propagation
it sounds reasonable to Say that If 10 pro
vide . bounty for one prodaet No should
extend the same advantage to all; but the
facts surrounding this beet sugar subject
are 80 patent, that the fallify Of demo
cratic reasoning must appear to al.
When Nc take these facts into consid.
GRAFTON We find that there II clear dis.
tinction between the beet sugar bounty
and anything like bounty on wheat Of
corn or cotton or pOtat0es. Iho object
OF the bounty that We have IL to establish
an industry, while bounty on any one
Of our common products would simply
be useless and abnormal gratuity.-
Stdtcsnan.
We will endeavor to enlighten our
cropping contemporary. We oppose
the bounty on sugar because it is
unconstitutional; because it is UNI
fair and unjust to all other taxpay-
ers and producers, and because it is
unnecessary and fraudulent. Sixty
five million people are sufficient to
insure . market at remunerative
price for more sugar than can be
produced in the United States in ten
years of preparation, and manufac-
turers never suffer serious losses
when an active demand for their
products exist; but they will al
ways pretend to fear such losses
when such pretense promises them
q government guarantee against
loss. In other words greed and
not necessity prompts the demand
for bounties.
But all of that aside, our sugar
manufacturers were getting rich
with q rapidity that might we'll have
aroused the envy of the Standard
Oil Company before the bounty on
sugar was given, and Mr.. Spreckles
had already imported beet seeds
from Germany, which he had dis
tributed among California farmers
to have them experiment in the
culture of,the sugar beet. More
over, he had established a sugar
factory in Pajaro valley, and prob
ably had it ready to operate before
the bounty was given, showing that
he needed no bounty to encourage
him in the sugar manufacturing in
dustry or to guarantee him profit.
And his case is precisely similar to
all the rest. They are all ready to
accept the robber bounty, but had
made millions without it.

UNDER the caption "Ominous
Whispers" the Malad Enterprise
writes that alleged irregularities
In the Land Commission are be-
ginning to spread over the state. y
We have been listening for that for
months. We are satisfied that more
than one tract Of valuable land has
been struggled into the possession
OF spectators, by and through the
connivance of the Land Commits
sion, and were an honest inyestiga-
ton possible, We believe the fact
could be shown. But while our
present state officials continue to
hold the fort, nothing honest or
decent can be hoped for. Whatever
will enrich them will probably be
done until their terms Of Office ex-
pire, when. if there is anything left,
a new and more respectable admin
istration may gather it up and put
it aside for the good of the people
and the state. It - at least pleas
ant to hope, even though the thing
hoped for depends upon 80 remote
contingency as having an honest
state administration in tho future.

DURING the week a tioht hatwee

DURING the week a fight between
cattlemen and thieves was carried
on in Montana and Wyoming fol-
two or three days, and three men
killed. More noise was made about
it than used to be made in Idaho
over the XII ling of twenty men, and
finally United States. soldiers were
called in, who arrested one of the
parties numbering A men, which
seems to have stopped the uproar
for a time at least. But whether
the soldiers arrested the thieves or
the cattlemen or the s',eriff's party
is not made clear by the reports of
the affair in the papers.

the great chain Of crimes against
honest government which, Matched
out in Europe, have been perpe-
trated in this country during the
last thirty years for the control and
robbery of labor. In the same line
and for the same robber purpose
was the burning Of 81 ,O0O, 0O0, 600 in
greenbacks and the issuing of inter-
est-bearing bonds in their place ;
also the change Of the law making
debts that had been contracted in
currency payable in coin; the es-
tablishment of the British national
banking system; the amendment
to our Federal C Constitution declor-
ing that the validity Of the national
debt should never be called into
question, a piece of insolence
without q parallel in recorded his

of silver, to which an extended

have to admit that our government
has permitted itself to be controlled
as to its financial policy for 90 long
time and so injuriously to our
people, by foreign bandit bankers,
wreckers of governments az of en-
terprises, who bad no thought but
OF profit, and who were our far
more dangerous foes than we're the

"The prettiest throw of the lasso 1
ever saw was down in New Mexico last
summer" said western cattleman. Il
had gone out to look at bunch of
cattle l thought of buying, and was
standing in front of the owners house
discussing the proposed trade. A two
year-old child was playing about the
lawn, when suddenly it clapped its
hands and cried out as though highly
elated. turned my head and saw, tc
my horror, that it was amusing itself
with a monster rattlesnake that was
Just coiled to strike The snake was
shooting it's forked tongue out, almost
into the face of the child, and it was
this action THAI so pleased the little one.
At my side stood Mexican cowboy
with a lasso on his arm. Quick as a
flash it went whizzing through the air
and closed around the neck of the SER
pent Just as it drew it's head back for
the fatal stroke. The father of the
child nodded his head, remarked that
it was capital throw, and resumed oar
discussion with imperturbable gravity.

EGYPTIAN OBELlSKS.
How the Ancieuts Cut and Erected Their
Great Monoliths.

How the AncIeuts Cut and Erected Their
Great Monoliths.
The obelisks of the Pharohs are
made of red granite called syenite. In
the quarries at Syene may yet be seen
an unfinished obelisll, still adhering to
the native rock, with traces Of work
mems tools so clearly seen on its SUR
face that one might suppose they had
been suddenly called away and intend
ed soon to return and finish their work
This unfinished obelisll shows the
mode in which the ancients separated
these immense monoliths from the ma
tive rock. In a sharply-cut groove
marking the boundary of the stones
are holes evidently designed for wooden
wedges. After these had been firmly
driven in,o the holes the groove was
filled with water. The wedges grad
ually absorbing the water, swelled and
cracked the granite throughout the
length of the groove. The block, once
detached from the rock, was pushed
forward upon rollers made from the
stems of palm trees from the quarries
to the edge of the Nile, where it was
surrounded by large timber raft.
1t lay by the river side until the next
inundation of the Nile, when the rising
waters floated the raft and conveyed
the obelisll down the stream to the city
where it was to be set up. Thousands
of willing hands pushed it on rollers up
an inclined plane to the front of the
temple where it was designed to stand.
The pedestals had previously been
placed in position and firm causeway
of sand covered with planks led to the
top of it. Then, by means of rollers,
levers and ropes made of the date palm,
the obelisl1 was gradually hoisted into
an upright position.
1t speaks much for the mechanical
accuracy of the Egyptian masons that,
SO true was the level of the top of the
base and the bottom of the long shaft,
in no single instance has the obelisk
been found to be out of the true per-
pendicular. Chicago News.

CHOLERA PREVENTION.
The Ohio State Board of Health Con
sidering the Matter.

The Ohio State Board of Health Con-
siderin9 the Matter.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 10.-Thcre will
be joint meeting of the state board
and local boards of health held in
Columbus, on January 25, 1898. The
papers and discussions will relate
principally to the precautions which
should be taken by boards of health to
prevent the introduction and spread of
cholera in Ohio.
1t is the opinion of health authorities
at home and abroad that cholera will
prevail next year and that this country
will again be called upon to oppose the
introduction of the disease. The un-
certain condition of the American sea-
board quarantine in respect to ability
TO guard us against cholera makes it
imperative that the health authorities
of the interior states shall take every
orecaution to prevent the introduction
of the disease after it had passed the
frontiers and to make such prepara-
tions in advance as will lessen the dam
ger of spread should cholera appear in
the state,
The state board of health has made
preparations 10 eSIdpllSn qutIdibIuS aO
state lines whenever it shall become
necessary, but as no system of quaran-
tiue can give absolute protection
against the introduction of cholera, it
remains for the local boards of health
to enforce such measures and make such
preparations as will give the greatest
protection to their respective commune
ties, and it is intended at this meeting
TO decide on how best to get ready.

The drummer had just finished
rather unreliable fish st ry, but nobody
said anything for a minute; then a ven
cradle man of clerical cut cleared his
throat and said:
Speaking of fish reminds me of a case
that came to my knowledge recently.

bottom farm, and I've got well on my
place about twenty-five feet deep and
four feet in diameter, lined with brick.

fish commission at Washington, and l
put them in my we'll never thought
much much more about them until one
day this past month my wife told me
something was the matter with the
we'll, and I'd better see to it. l sent my
farm hand down to investigate, and he
came back as fast as the windlass would
turn and reported that something was
in the well, raising Sam Hill. He
couldn't tell what it was, but it looked
more like sea serpent than anything
else. 1t didn't scare me at all, and l
got into the bucket myself and went
down. And gentlemen what do you
think discovered?"
Nobody answered. Nobody knew.
well, I'll tell you" continued the
narrator. 81 found the water only
about a foot deep, and those two fish
had grown so large that one of them
had rubbed his tail off clean down to
the quick, and the other had worn his
nose off up to his eyes, just turning
round and round in that four-foot well,
| and there's no telling how big they
would have been if the water hadn't got

| turn them loose in the river"

ing and the drummer with tears in his
| eyes went over and shook hands with
| him.-Detroit Free Press.
