THE SPREAD Or IMPROVED SUGAR
MANUFACTURE.

The enormous progress now making in the
United States in cane sugar manufacture is
'inoed. in the subjoined extract from the au-
nual report Of the United States
Consul at Frederiksted, St. Croix, Mr.. VIII.
liam F. Moore, which indicates that even in
the Danish West Indies American machinery
and American methods are proving their
claims for efficiency and excellence. Mr..
Moore says
Considerable machinery connected with
the manufacture Of sugar his been imported
from the United States, and a triple effect
plant has been erected. Al engineer from
New York has introduced a simple system
of natural hot-air plant and furnace, by
by which green bagasse flom the cane mill
can be burnt under boilers, successfully de-
noustratihg a great economy in fuel and
labor. All planters endorsed the process,
and many of them have adopted it with So.
tisfactory results. One plantation hiss made
700 hogsheads OF sugar by the system. with
ont burning any other fuel. Ihe same plan

JUDGES AND SOLICITORS.


The People; Disguised With Slate
Politics.
From the Atlanta Journal.
When the present constitution was
made, changing the selection of judges
and solicitors from appointment by the
governor to election by the legislature,
many people doubted is propiety. In
the light of rec ut combinations before
the the last legislature, it seems there
was good ground for the obi ction to tie
change. At one time judges and so'ici-
tors were elected by the people, then 1t
was changed so that the governor APP
pointed and the senate confirmed. Now
the Legislature elects, and the ''slate
methods Of the last Legislature have dis
gusted the people and they are demand
ing change. No doubt the next Iegis-
lature will pu. the seal of their condem-
nation on the practices of the estate"
and pass a bill submitting to the people
constitutional amendment, changing
from the election Of judges and solicitor
by the legislature back to, one of the
other modes-appointment by the gov
ernor, or election by the people.

A STRANGE ACCIUENi.
A Horse stumbles and Throws Off Both
Fore Feet.

A Horse stuInbres and Throws Off Both
Fore Feet.
From the Albany Herald.
A very strange thing occurred out on
the plantation Of Col. Jesse W. " walters
a few days ago.
Everybody in Albany remembers the
bay mare known as the ''Brooks mare,
which was for loag time used as MI.
Walters family horse. 1t was the mare
that was the victim of the strange ac-
cident. The fist part of this year she
was sent out to the plantation and put
to ploughing. A few days ago, while
the plough hands were at work, fire was
discovered IN another part of the planta-
ton, and the hands hurriedly mounted
their animals and started for the scene
of the fire.
The Brooks mare was going in
fast lope acI oss the field when she
stumbled and fell. When she recovered
and rose to her feet as ain, her rider was
Mortified by the discovery that she had
lost both fore feet. She had actually
thrown both front feet off, the members
becoming uniointed at the ankle, and
when she stood up the feet were dang
ling by the skin and the ends of the now
footless legs went through the skin into
the ground.
The poor animal was, OF course, killed
and relieved of her misery.
The occurrence was strange one, to
to say the least of it, and the horsemen
bere all say they have never known
similar one.

party to-day that holds a Presidential
nomination within his grasp. On the Re-
publican side especially there is free
field. If the party is wise the candidate
will be adapted to the platform. A gold
man will not be put on a silver platform
nor silver man put on a gold platform.
The election of Mr.. Cleveland on plat
form in essential respects in conflict with
his personal convictions is a warning
against that line of tactics. There is no
party advantage in electing President
who cannot hold his party together. De-
feat with sound platform with candl-

in better condition than victory with
candidate that must either efface himself
or kick over his platform. The Republl-

long session of a Congress yet TO be elected
before the convention will meet and 1t

THE RIGHT RING.

: The Stockton Mail has doubt but that
the Democratic convention to meet on the
21st inst. will adopt a platform that will
have the true ring. There will without
doubt be confusion of rings in the pro-
ceedings of the convention. a resolution
TO Endorse the administration Of Mr..
Cleveland would nject note of discord
into the ring of a resolution to foreclose
the mortgages on the Central Pacific Rail-
road. The harmony of an anti-Chinese
resolution would be Jared by resolution
indorsing the Senatorial career Of Mr..
White. An antitrust resolution would
ring somewhat too loudly in a platform
that maintains friendly relations with At
terney-General Olney. The discrepancies
which exist between the foreign policy Of
Secretary Gresham and that which Demo.
Gratis have been brought up on may be
recOnciled by plank declaring that Mr.
Cievelsnd's Secretary Of State is a Re-
publican. Our Stockton contemporary
says the issues of this campaign are merely
local. Still there are seven Congressman
to be elected and Legislature which will
elect United States Senator to serve dur
ing the remaining two years of the term
for which Mr.. Stanford was elected. If
the Democrats should elect these seven
Representatives and one Senator. can the
public nave any assurance that they would
sustain in Congress local interests? Would
they not rather follow in the footsteps of
Senator White and all other Democratic
Congressmen, with the single exception of
Mr. Geary?

A NARROW ESCAPE.

. The present outlook is that Congress
will adibirn without passing tariff bill:
The same thing has happened twice be-
fore. in 1854 Morrison of Illinois pre-
pared what was known as a horizontal
tariff bill which Republican Senate re-
fused to adopt. A few years later Mills of
Texas got a tariff-for-revenue bill through
the House, but the Senate would waste no
time upon it. But this time the Demo-
Gratis bad the President and both branches
of Congress. They were full Of tariff
reform, ana until within a few weeks
there has been no doubt Of their ability to
pass some kind Of a bill. It is still posi-
bic that the Senate bill may be accepted
by the House. but the personalities en-
gagged in the conflict render such a result
Improbable. These personalities are Mr..
Cleveland on one side and Hill. German
and their Senatorial allies on the other.
If the House should pass the Senate bill
Cleveland would be overthrown as a
Democratic leader. His famous Wilson
% letter placed him in the van of the
fight on the House side. Germans
reply made the issue between the
President and the Senate so sharp that
coin promise meant defeat for one faction
or the other. If the Senate could have
been induced to recede from its amend
ments, the President would have been
victorious, but if the Senate stands by
its amendments he will be defeated. So
lar as can be judged the action of the Sen
ate is final. The Senate cOnferees have
turned the bill over to the House to do
with as it may please. The Speaker has
called caucus for Monday. Senator Hill
contributed to the tie-up without seeming
to have that purpose in view. His speech
in support Of the Presidents letter to Mr.
Wilson strengthened House in its op-
position TO the Senate bill and made con-
cessions 10 the Senate more difficult to OBJ
tain. But all the anti-adminis,ration Sen
ators knew that Hill would not be one Of
the forty-three Senators to pass the House
bill, or even a compromise bill, over theiI
heads. If the House decides Monday not
to pass the Senate bill il is almost certain
that the Mckinley tariff will stand.

TARIFF REFORM IN GENERAL

The action of the present Congress mas
shown that while Democrats are in favor
of tariff reform In general they are mostly
opposed to any application of the principle
of free trade which affects their own local
interests. There are found knot OF Dem
ocrats opposing free sugar. another Knot
opposing free iron, another KNOT opposinE
free coal, and so on until there are Deno-
cratic advocates of every duty imposed Dy
the Mckinley tariff. But it may Do urgeu
that the Democrats who advocate pIotec-
tion have wandered from their party 1olu'
that they are in fact Republicans Ia dlS-
gulse. There are, however, lew Oelhe-

is perhaps fair, but unkind under these
circumstances, for the New York Sun to

upon MIR. Wilson's tariff reform record.
This is what the Sun finds:
As have said favor bill for the reduction
of taxes. Where this bill departs from its gen
eral scheme of merely reducing taxes and
seeks TO enlarge the free list, it bears uneyenly

ests of my own State.
To take any one great interest and transfer it
suddenly to the free list is to hold it tributary

in the common protection.
This bill would permit reciprocal free coal
