OF COURSE we are all pleased to know
that the business of raising sugar beets
is such a perfect success in Southern
California. The telegraph has advised
us OF the raising of fifty Thousand tons
of sugar beets on 1000 acres on the
Chino ranch. That is very high figure,
and must prove highly remunerstive to
all parties concerned. 1t is at the rate
OF twelve and half tons of beets to the
acre. Down at Anaheim, as an entirely
new experiment, the beets yielded ten
tons to the acre. That the sugar beet
manufacturer is sure OF a solid return on
his plant can be appreciated when the
fact is realized that he receives fifty
dollars ton bounty from the national
government on the sugar manu-
factured. The bounty paid to
sugar beet manufacturers by the
government in this state last year
amounted to largely more than $400, 900.
There is no reason why the people of
California, with their soil 80 exception
ally rich in saccharine constituents,
should not 60 to the front as sugar man.
ufacturers. As it lie, they are away be-
hind the people of Nebraska. Beet
sugar was originally an incident OF the
Napoleonic wars. When the first EN-
peror of the French issued his cee-
brated Berlin decree, which closed the
markets of Europe to England, which
country was then mistress of the seas,
he granted heavy bounty in France to

WE HAVE Just been advised that Great
Britain has annexed to her colonial
possessions the Solomon group OF ISL
ands the southernmost of the Polyne-
sian groups. These islands are very ex-
tensive, and although generally very
rugged and mountainous, still they are
possessed OF large tracts of exceedingly
fertile land. Great Britain just took
these islands without deigning to ask
the natives whether they wanted to be-
come portion OF the British empire or
not. France is playing the same game
of gobbling up territory in Indo-China,
and has virtually just seized by force an
immense territory on the left bank OF
the Me-Kong. What contrast the at
titude of the United States towards the
Sandwich Islands is to the greed dis
played by these two great European
powers in land-stealing. Here is very
valuable group of islands, containing
great wealth and IN an advanced state
OF civilization, throwing themselves lit
orally at our feet and begging us to take
them, which we hesitate to do, whilst
the European powers 60 freebooting
around the world. seizing every petty
sovereignty they take fancy to. with
out the slightest claim in right or JUS
tice to annex them to their possessions.

THE Messrs. Pence and Bell, recently
elected members of Congress from Colo
RADIO, announce their purpose of bring.
ing the question before the House as to
whether Director OF the Mint Preston
has the right to ignore the law of Con-
gress calling for the purchase of 100000
ounces of silver monthly. During the
past month he has only bought half OF
that amount, and it seems an indisput-
able fact that this gentleman is postur-
izing as bear in the silver market.
The Messrs. Pence and Bell will by no
means be the only members OF Congress
who will be loaded for bear on this

THE cholera epidemic in parts of Rus.

may even lock to see the disease pass
its present bounds and work its way to

SLAVERY IN WISCONSIN.
Ex-senator Jones Once Held Fifteen Slaves
at Mineral Point.

Ex-senator Jones Once Held Fifteen Slaves
at Mineral Point.
1t viii be surprising to some people
to learn that slavery was once an in
stitution in Wisconsin, not in the sense
in which it prevailed in the southern
states, but it seems to be fact that
few Negroes here and there were held
in bondage. According to a local his
torian, there is one man living, ex-
United States Senator George W. Jones.
who was the owner of fifteen slaves at
Mineral Point about the year 1910.
Here Mr.. Jones, who was q native of
Missouri opened a trading post. An
other living witness to the existence of
slavery in Wisconsin is ex-Judge Joseph
Trotter Mills, of Lancaster. Among
the early eases with which he had con-
nection was one brought to compel
white man to set free a Negro held in
Grant county as a slave. The deed of
manumission executed on that occasion
is probably the only document of that
kind on record in the state. Rev. Alfred
Brunson, now dead, once interested
himself to secure the freedom OF mu-
Idtto named DAY. who was held IN a
condition of servitude at Prairie du
Chen. MIR. Brunson employed the iber-
ated bondsnan IN missionary work. but
he proved totally unfit for an occupa-
tion requiring intelligence, to the great
delight, il is said, of the reverend gen
tleman's enemies Rev. Dr. jeremiah
Porter, of Beloit, says he remembers
the case of a mulatto girl who was held
al that place as slave. She afterwards
lived there as a free woman. and for
family reasons ne now withholds her
name. Plattville has the distinction of
being the only place in Wisconsin
where slaves were not only held as
such. but afterwards returned TO bond
age in Missouri Tribune.

"What a queer woman Mrs. Stone is"
exclaimed one friend to another.
rs she? Dear me. | would like to
know her them declared the second.
Il am fond of original people"
But Mrs. Stone does such peculiar
things" objected the first. Things
nobody on earth would expect or i'm

That's better yet, d" insisted the sec
ond. She must be one OF the salt of

more people to do things we don't ex-
pect 1t is the people who are continu-
ally doing exactly what we expect who
make life wearisome, and preponder-
ance Of those people makes it unutter-

witty woman who kept up friendship
with another woman who was neither
Iowa bic nor particularly refined
How can you like that Mrs. C-?"
some one asked her.
TO which the woman replied conf
dentalIy, Il IL tell you, my dear, l like
Mrs. c. because she amuses me-"
Another bright woman expressed the
same feeling when she exclaimed: Il
do hope Mrs. B will live longer than
! do. For if she does, am sure of enter
tainment all the days of my life.
One must have great deal of warm
sympathy with such sentiments So
few people do amuse one, And
when we do meet people whose delight
ful eccentricities heaven the lump of
human stupidity, we can not be too
grateful to them for the diversion.
Most of us can cordially echo the wish
