THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

At the last session of the legislature
Senator LIENAU, of this city, intro
duced a. bill in the upper house making
an appropriation for beet sugar fac
tory. The amount asked was not large,
while the object was most praiSeworthy,
bat the measure failed to pass the lower
house, and so the matter ended. There
is no doubt whatever that the beet sugar
industry could be made success in this
state, as it has been in Nebraska. The
beetS grown in Minnesota contain a
higher percentage of sugar than those
grown in Nebraska, and an acre of the
rich lands of Minnesota will produce
several hundredweight more than the
same area in the former state.
The success of the Nebraska beet
sugar plants may be judged by the
fact that no less than twenty new fac
tories are to be erected during the
present year. The farmers have met
with remarkable success in growing the
sugar beet, and the sugar made is re-
markably white, pure, and strong in
saccharine quality. These gratifying
results have stirred up the NebraSkanS,
and they are fully aroused to the i'm
portanee of developing this industry.
There is no reason why the example of
Nebraska should not be followed by
Minnesota; on the contrary, there are
very many good reasons why the farm
ers and capitalists of this state should
not allow the Nebraskans to outstrip
them in enterprise aid common sense.
1t is settled fact that the sugar beet
is prolific grower in our Minnesota
soil, end there is no reason why we
should not raise and manufacture all
the sugar that we can consume in this
state, and, in addition, ship large
quantities TO the sections of the country
tributary to the commercial centers of
Minnesota.
Senator LIENAU'S bill should have
been placed on the statute books. and it
is to be hoped that the next legislature
will take it up and push it through
without delay.

AN ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

Attention has been directed to the
electric railroad now being built in
AuStria-Hungary as the initial enter
prise of that kind in the world. If the
statements of Illinois papers are reli-
able, company has been incorporated
to at once construct a similar road be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis, which is
designed to be in operation before the
one over the water. The distance is
about 275 miles, and the regular time
for through trains is to be something
less than three hours, or speed not far
from 100 miles an hour. There are to
be two tracks, with devices in the way
of electric signals, the block sys-
tenn and telephone connection be-
tween cars upon the same ten-mile
sble. Curves and grades will be
avoided as far as possible, and the track
made solid enough to admit of the high
speed contemplated. The through cars
will make no stops and require no con-
ductOrs or brakemen. The operation is
to be somewhat similar to that of the
street cars, the powerful motor at the
end, the cars being longer and lower.
and constructed to insure lightness and
strength. There are numerous con-
trivanceS to insure safety. The road is
to be operated by an immense power
house at a central point, where the
company owns coal mines. Apparently
but one or two cars are to constitute
train, and to start from each end of the
line every hour. Spurs from the nam
line are to run TO all the towns
near the road, and the larger
farmers can lay cheap, light switches
TO their farms for shipping pur-
poses. Eventually it is designed to
have four tracks, two for freight pur-
poses, and to run an avenue or boule-
ward along the track, to be studded with
residences and business houses: and the
farmers in the rear to be supplied with
electric power for pumping, threshing,
blowing ana all farm operations, as we'll
as for heating. cooking and operating
the domestic machinery. 1t is won
derful scheme, and reads like a fairy
tale or leaf out of Looking Forward
few hundred years. Yet it may all
be common place picture of the transit
system and electric applications of the
early part of the next century. The
dreams of enthusiasm will be left in the
rear.

DONNELI,Y IN DAKOTA

From the banks of the placid and
soothing James river in North Dakota
the Jamestown Alert is able to see that
the people of Minnesota outside of the
Twin Cities display surprising loyalty
to IGNATiUs DoNNELLY. The excep-
ton is attributed to the united hostility
of the daily press. The Pioneer Press
is, however, singled out as the special
defamer and disburser OF venom, and
something of the popularity OF the as
sailed is attributed to this fact. The
Alert usually justifies its name, but is
not clear in its vision on this question.
The figures which it gives of the last
election indicate mental confusion. 1t
says that the Alliance candidate for
governor. with $4,000 votes. lacked but
1900 of being elected. AS one of
his opponents had SSH votes and
another S5,S44. the possibility of error in
other respects is plausible. MirageS Of
very deceptive character are sometimes
visible i'll the Dakota region, with no
actualitieS to be reflected. STILL it is
not denied that the Sage does come up
out of the turbid waters of ''ridicule,
cunning and Sophistry" as 'Sound as
ever This reputation uninjured, his
work approved" Whatever dissent the
GLOBE has expressed for some of the
opinions of Mr.. DoNNELLY on ques-
tions of public interest, it has never be-
Ionged to the class indicated by the
Alert that disparages his ''great literary
talents" or doubts that he is zone of the
foremost thinkers of the times.' 1t
may be further insisted that the man
of whom this state, including the Twin
Cities, is justly proud, has the courage
of his convictions" without counte-
nancing any bubbles as to the mutabil-
ity and versatility of his convictions.
1t has often been indicated in these col
umnS that he is the man of all others
that should carry the presidential ban
ner of the new party, if there is really
one about to cluster about any great
man or woman. No assortment of
measures can be too variegated for his
assimilation. AT the Alert is right in
its observations as to the devotion of the
people, there may be greater honor for
the prophet than even the fondest of
home views have yet pictured.

JUDGE WOODS UNDER FIRE.

CELINA, o., Jan. 29.-Rockford, a
small village in this county, is greatly
excited. A few days ago a travelling
artist named Frank Zano, twenty years
old, giving New York city as his home,
drifted to the place and did some work
there, forming the acquaintance of Miss
Rosa Cook, the seventeen-year-o old
daughter of Thomas Cook. Wednesday
afternoon Zano came to this city and
obtained a marriage license. He re-
turned to Rockford, where a
wedding ceremony was per-
formed. Miss Cooks father
protested against the marriage and had
his young son-in-law arrested yesterday
and taken before Mayor Penn on the
charge of perjury in swearing that the
girl was of age. Zano said he thought
the girl was eighteen. The mayor
bound him over to court. He could not
give bail and was ordered to Jail. Last
night, before the officers could get
ready to bring him to Celina, he shot
himself in the left breast near the
heart, inflicting fatal wound. Zano

CLEvELAND's POSITION.

Imaginative correspondents have
taken advantage of Mr.. Cleveland's alb
sence on hunting trip in the South to
start the story that he is out of the pres
idential race. This is important, if
tue."-Wheeling Register.
There is report that Mr.. Cleveland
has withdrawn from the Democratic
presidential field, which reminds us of
what Andrew Jackson said of Office
holders, that flew die, ard none re-
sign. New York Press.
If Mr.. Cleveland should withdraw his
name from the presidential canvass, a
small meek of the woods" somewhere
should be secured as retreat for the
orphan.-New York World.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland will de-
cline to be candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. This is rather i'm
probable. Grover thinks he was born
to be president not once. but twice. His
cause may decline, but he won't.-PittS-
burg Times.
That report to which the Democratic
press is giving so much prominence,
that Mr.. Cleveland is ready to announce
his withdrawal from the presidential
contest, is improbable on the face of it.
Mr.. Cleveland is not one of the resign
ing kind.-Boston Journal.
The report that MIR. Cleveland Is about
to withdraw from the contest for the
nomination comes with the announce
ment that a heavy majority of the ma
tional committee is unalterably in his
favor. Both these reports can be swal-
lowed, if highly seasoned.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
The country will believe the tales
that Cleveland is to get out of the pres
idential race when he announces this
himself, or when the story to this effect
can be traced directly to him, and not
before. His retirement POW would
give big boom to Hill, and he is not
engaged in enterprises of this sort at
present.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Partisans of Democratic candidates
for the nomination for president will
make mistake if they jump to the con-
clusion, from the Washington dispatch
in Sundays World, that Mr.. Cleveland
is out of the race. He has thought and
talked, and is thinking yet. of announce
ing his Withdrawal-onlyt that and moth
ing more.-New York World.

Scoundrels Believed to Have De-
stroyed Child.
DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 9.-Rosa Baro-
witch, pretty thirteen-year-old girl,
left home last Friday evening dressed
only in a light calico gown and with no
hat. Since then her parents have seen
nothing of her and the vigorous search
of the police has failed to reveal her
whereabouts. A young friend of the
girl tells strange story that adds much
to the mystery surrounding the affair.
She says that on the night Rosa left
home she saw the missing girl enter a
house near by with two young men.
Later the same night the three were
seen to take carriage and drive toward
the river. In search of the
house, which had been rented
and partly furnished by the two
young men for two weeks, shreds of
the girls dress were found. On the
floor were also found clots of blood. The
young men have not returned to their
quarters since last Friday, and search
OF the city fails to reveal their presence
here. 1t is believed that they deceived
the girl into their quarters, maltreated
and murdered her, and then threw her
body through the ice into the river. The
police are bending every energy to I'M
ravel the mystery, but have met with
small success thus far.

A KENTUCKY FEUD.
Three Men Murdered Within a
Week.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 29.-Near Pine
vile, KY, Bob Jones and Lee Davis,
two prominent members of the Parton
faction, were killed Wednesday by
Berry Turner and his men. 1t is said
that the men were waylaid. The two
murdered men were known as avowed
enemies of Turner. They had assisted
III his capture about year half ago,
when he was lodged in Jail here. Since
Turner made his escape these two men
have been endeavoring to effect his
capture. They had gone so far as to
offer reward of $500 for Turner's ap-
Drehension, and the outlaw has doubt
less been awaiting this opportunity for
his revenge.
The friends of Melville Parton, who
was killed by Turner last Saturday,
were given a chance to bury the body
Wednesday, but not until it had been
partially devoured by hogs. Berry
Turner is considered one of the most
desperate outlaws that ever dsgraced
this country. He comes from the ia
nous Turner family of Yellow creek,
and has record for killing rarely
equaled- He has gathered about him
most desperate gang of mountaineers,
and defieS the law as much as he does

MIR. SPRINGER SUSTAINED.

The ways and means committee have
arrived at an understanding regarding
the method of attacking the MCKINLEY
law. Practically the decision is unani-
nous, although on the preliminary bal
lot MeSSrS. WILSON, MCMILI.IN and
TURNER favored the policy OF general
revision of the whole system. Unity of
purpose has been arrived at after thor
ough general discussion. This in itself
is good thing, for it has developed the
fact that, as whole, the ways and
means committee look more to the i'm
pOrtaDce Of the end to be attained than
to the means by which are to be de-
stroyed the vicious attributes of the
MCKINLEY law.
The result of the committees meeting
indicates harmony quite unexpected
by Republicans. The ''split'' prophesed
by them has not materialized. In other
words, a council of war has been held
by the ablest Democratic generals in the
house. The plan of campaign selected
is to attack and destroy the forces of the
enemy by detail instead of bringing ON
a general engagement. Of course
complete revisory tariff measure could
be carried through the house. In the
senate it would encounter sufficient Wig
orous opposition to warrant defeat. The
fate of the MILLS bill would be dupli-
Gated. Under the present plan, how
ever. as outlined by Mr.. SPRINGER.
much good can be accomplished. The
MCKINLEY law is strong only in the few
giant monopolieS which it protects.
Aside from them, it is vulnerable to at
tack from almost every section of the
country. Many United States senators
willing to support it as whole enter
tain serious objections to many of its de-
tails. Senator c. X. DAVIS stands as
representative of the gentlemen mem
toned. His vote would, undoubtedly,
be cast for free binding Irvine. But he
would hardly support such rad
ical measure as complete reviSory
tariff bill. Senator PADDOCK, Of Ne
braska, stands in similar position upon
the questions of free Irvine and free
lumber both. 1t is to the interest of
his constituents that he should do SO.
Yet, sheltered by the sweeping pro-
visions of theiMCKINLEY law. he could
quite readily find plausible excuses for
casting his vote against radical de-
thronement of King Protection. The
ways and means committee has adopted
a most judicious plan for the purpose
desired. With the successive removal
of Its various props the odious law be-
comes weaker and weaker. Aud when
it stands stripped of all its defenses
save the giant monopolies, its fate can
be easily foretold. Let it be destroyed
in detail, but in the end let destruction
be complete. In this sentiment the
GLOBE believes the Democratic party is
a unit.

of the stern material of the Puritans

themselves good things within reach.
They do not aim to greatly mortlfy the

among the manipulators in both par
