ONE of the new industries which
promises to revolutionize a consid-
erable portion of the American
continent is the making of beet
root sugar. Few persons have any
conception of what is meant by
this class of beet cultivation. In
the Cosmopolitan for February,
beet sugar is for the first time in
magazine literature thoroughly IL
lustrated. Every step in its cult
vation, the seed, the plant, the
planting, the cultivation, the har-
vesting and the machinery for
manufacture are given direct from
instantaneous photographs. 1t
ought to be widely read by those
interested in agriculture in every
part of the county.

THAT COUNTY LINE.

The line between Lincoln and
and Socorro counties has never yet
been defined. The members Of
the Legislature that created Lin
coin county did not seem to have
sense enough to bound a county
and no line which could be traced
was ever established.
This winter bill was prepared
by one of our citizens and sent to
Mr.. Hinkle who introduced it in
the House. 1t provided for estab-
fishing this line as nearly as could
be ascertained at the point where
the old law intended it should be.
1t took nothing of any value, not a
dollar of taxable property, not an
inhabitant from Socorro county.
yet the chump and ignoramus who
represents that county in the
House opposed the bill, for what
reason he, we will venture to say,
has not sense enough to tell.
No man on earth can now tell
where the line between these two
counties is, which is a matter of
serious importance. If a crime
should be committed in the vicin-
ity of the Nal Pals the venue could
not be proven, because there is no
line, and the accused would 90
scot free. We do not suppose the
member from Socorro intends to
c )mmit any crime over in these
parts, but if he does, his action in
defeating this bill is explained.
At any rate, when the "fool killer"
next comes around, Montoya, Of
Socorro had better hide out. We
would suggest that he get astride
the county line where nobody can
possibly find him.
Here Statehood advocates have
another example of our capability
for self government.

THERE is food for serious
thought in the fact that the pov-
erty Of a Senator or Representa-
tive in Congress is constantly
brought forward as a proof Of his
honesty. While this does not
necessarily imply that the rich
ones are dishonest it comes near
enough to make guilty man mad.

station agents. Most of them are
now under arrest and startling de
velopments are anticipated.

COL. hoNEYS NEW POINT.

Col. Honey informed the three good
and true Democrats who went through
the motions of holding session of the
house at Newport, yesterday, that the
action of the governor in proroguing
the assembly was undoubtedly illegal,
because his power to adjourn that body
does not become operative until all
business has been transacted by both
branches.
Nowhere in the constitution is there
warrant for such an opinion. In Sec
tion of Article VII, the governor is
given the power to prorUgue the assem-
bly, whenever it is certified to him that
there is disagreement as to time and
place Of adjournment. The ouly limi-
tation to this power is that which pre-
vents him from fixing the date to which
he adjourns the Legislature later than
the date of the next stated session.
1t is reasonable to suppose that had it
been the intention of the trainers Of the
constitution to limit the power of
the governor as claimed by Col.
Honey they would have so stated
and in the absence of any such express
or implied limitation it would appear
that the power given the governor can
be exercised whenever he is notified Of
an existing disagreement between the
two houses.
If this limitation exists, as Colonel
Honey claims, either house could keep
the other continuously in session for
the full period for which it was elected
and the people who would have to pay
the bills would have no remedy.
That this was the intention of those
who framed the fundamental law is
open to serious doubt in spite of Col.
Honey's self satisfied assertions to the
contrary.

THE HARBOR or REFUGE.

More marine disasters have occurred
at and near Point Judith than on the
whole coast line of the state, and the
announcement that the national govern
ment proposes to minimize the danger
of shipwreck there will lha- received
with genuine satisfaction by those
directly and indirectly interested in
Rhode Islands commercial affairs.
The governments plan is to build
sea wall half mile in length on the
westerly side of the point. This will
make harbor of refuge for all vessels
in that vicinity in time of storms and
no doubt will result in the saving of
many lives and much valuable property.
A harDor such as proposed will make
navigation Of Long Island Sound safer,
and will tend to promote the shipping
interests of Providence. The cost Of
the work will mount up into the
millions, but that will be mere baga-
telle compared with the benefits that
are certain to follow the making Of this
long g-needed improvement.

NEW CHINESE MINISTER.
He is Expected In Washington
by August 1.

Conarmatioi At tho state Department
That all Diplomatic Relations with
Chins VIII soon be Suspended.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The announce
ment made in these dispatches some time
ago ON the authority of the counsel for the
Chinese government in the Geary law test
case before the Supreme Court that the
Chinese government had informally mo
ticed" the government OF the United
State that the Geary act would result In q
suspension Of all relations diplomatic and
commercial between the United States and
China, receives strong confirmation in tho
dispatches brought by the last Pacific
mail.
At the Chinese Legation 1t is learned
that the new Chinese Minister will start
from Hong Kong this week, and in the or
dinary course OF travel is expected to reach
Washington by the last OF July. Then
the legation will be turned over to him

While disappointing to the firemen
Immediately interested, the action OF
the Common Council in referring the
bill for an ordinance increasing the
salaries of members of the fire depart
ment to the committee on finance was
proper, and will be generally approved.
The action taken is not one Of hostility
10 the measure, nor does 1t mean that
the council is opposed to granting the
increase asked for.
The purpose Is to await the report of
the assessors of taxes, which will show
just what the city's income this year
will be. If it appears that the amount
will be sufficient to warrant the
raising of the salaries Of the
fremen there Is little doubt
that the bill will be promptly passed in
concurrence. This was made plain last
night by the gentlemen who favored ref
erence to the finance committee and IL
was also shown that there was the inten-
ton of refusing to make the increase II
it is found the city will have money
enough Mt its disposal to meet the in
creased expenditure.
AS was expected, the coun Gil refused
to concur with the board in its amend
ment to the plumbing bill. The body
felt it had rights which in justice to the
city it should not surrender.
The question involved was whether
the rights of the maj jDrity should be
maintained, or whether minorities
should be allowed to rrle. Had the
council concurred in the bill as passed
by the board, any five aldermen could
have prevented the election OF an in
spector of plumbing until candidate
entirely satisfactory to them was put
forward.
There can be no question that it was
for this very purpose Alderman West
and the other four alderman, who fol-
lowed him, proposed and carried through
the amendment IL was bold politi-
cal stroke, intended to nullify the force
which the laws and Constitution give to
the majority, but it has failed as it GER
tainly deserved to do.
Nor is there any danger o' change
of front on the part of the council. 1t
has done its duty, it has made abortive
aplan to secure minority rule, and it
can safely trust to the verdict of the
people 10 vindicate its action.

The Air
We Breathe.

Science teaches us that nature
carefully provides essentially the
same air in all parts of the earth.
Not only are its principal constit-
uents the same, but also of one un-
varying degree of purity.
AT all attitudes and in all parts of
the world--in the streets of the most
populous cities and on the SUBMITS
of the highest hills-the proportion
of the oxygen to the nitrogen in the
FREE AIR varies but few hundredths
of ONE per cent.
While the amount of vapor in the
air may vary greatly, and we suffer
no appreciable harm, we must have
an atmosphere with not LESS than 20
per cent. Of oxygen. The food We
eat may differ greatly, but the air we
breathe constantly must have oxy-
gen, with the slightest possible varia-
ton.
Bananas and blubber will each
make vital blood; but neither the
one nor the other, or any other food,
can produce a drop of vital blood
without oxygen.
The blood is the life, and the life
blood is sustained only by the oxy-
gen we breathe.
And while nature is lavish in its
supply of pure air, we often fail to
avail ourselves of the proper amount
of it.
Our indoor vocations-our insult
ficiently ventilated dwellings, shops,
factories, halls and schoolhouses,
as we'll as our STOPPING postures and
tight jackets, in study and work
added to the CONSTRUCTED and fire.
quently diseased condition of our
bronchial tubes and lung cells, con-
spire to rob us daily of the neces-
sary supply Of natures free oxygen.
And in the degree that oxygen is
wanting, neither food, rest nor medi-
cine can supply the deficiency. All
attempts to find a substitute are not
only futile, but a waste of time and
money, and frequently perilous to
precious life. II you have reason to
believe that you are suffering for
oxygen avail yourself of the earliest
opportunity to supply the deficiency.
