BEET SUGAR HAS TREBLED
Consular Report that Puts Foreign Countries
Into the Shade.
AMERICAN PRODUCTION GROWING FAST
Enormous Natural Advantages In This
Country Over Gcrmsny-European Com
petition Being Rapidly Knocked on
tho notwithstanding Figures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-European econo-
mists are alarmed at the prospect that the
United States, the greatest sugar country in
the world and always relied upon to absorb
the surplus European product, will at no dis
tant date produce all of its own sugar.
Frank Mason United States consul general
at Frankfort, Germany. has submitted to the
State department a special report on Ameri-
can competition in sugar production which is
full of interesting statistics on the subject
Among other things he shows that the crop
Of beet root sugar last year exceeded by
100000 tons the product of the preceding
year. The production Of cane sugar has
doubled in the past twenty years, while that
of beet sugar has trebled. Careful examina-
tlons Of the possibilities of beet sugar produc-
tion in the United States have been made by
European correspondents who show that GER
tain districts, notably California and Ne
braska and other western and southern
states, enjoy decided natural advantages over
all the beet producing countries of Europe.
Four elements enter into the competition,
climate cost and fertility of land, cost of
labor and the effective economy of the ma
chinery and methods of cultivation and sugar
manufacture. In all but one-cost of labor
the United States has the advantage. An
English correspondent shows that whereas
beet growing in Germany, Notwithstanding
the cheapness of labor, costs on an average
| 5000 per acre, in California, in spite of
| high wages, the net cost does not exceed
| $3.50 per acre. a difference of $3.50 per
acre in favor of the Pacific coast. Land is
| also cheaper and the California farmer works
rich virgin soil while his German rival is
| restricted to old wornout lands which must
| be sustained by the constant use of fertilizers
| These facts have, as Mr.. Mason shows
awakened apprehension among European
economists and sugar producers and have
greatly depressed the movement in England
| to American beets instead of wheat.

council certainly are in position to re-
trench, as we'll as they have been In
position to yhisy the pay roll. 1t seems
n great stretch of the Imagination that
n deputy or even a clerk is such an
officer or af9nG as the charter contem-
plates. These employees have no fixed
term of office, neither has an inspector
of paving or sewers-or garbage, for
that matter. They are all subject to
discharge when there is no work for
them to perform. In any event the
mayor and council can by ordinance
abolish alliBs,perfluous appointments
and all employments that are overpaid,
and they can )by ordinance re-create
the appointments or employments ut
pleasure within day, month or six
months following the abolition of the
sinecures or discharge of overpaid
deputies and clerks, excepting only
where such deputyships have been Gre
ated by charter.
When the council repealed the ordi-
nance creating the office of city cleo
trician City Attorney Connell did not
consider the abolition of the office ille-
gal and as a sequence Electrician Cow
gill was deposed without recourse for
his pay for the full term.
The same results would follow
if the ordinances creating GER
tain useless appointments and ordi-
nances authorizing the employment of
overpaid deputies and clerks were re-
pealed. There would be no trouble
whatever of getting the men who now
occupy these places to accept re-em-
ployment at current wages.
SO much on that score. And now
how about the increase of salaries or
| incomes in the face of the provision
of the charter that forbids a greater
compensation, directly or indirectly,
than is provided by the charter and
ordinances? How about the allow
ances of horse hire to meat inspectors
and other employees? Why should n
man who draws 500 Il month salary
also be allowed to draw enough addi-
tional pay to purchase a horse and
buggy every twelve months? If these
men were in private employment they
would cheerfully pay for their own
horse hire if they were only sure OF
keeping their places.
Why shouldn't the mayor and council
interpose in behalf of the taxpayers
and put stop to these abuses and eX
cesses? If they can not make it retro
active they certainly can make it pros
pective by repeating existing ordinances
that countenance these impositions

The attempt of eX-President Powell
of the Board of Education to saddle all
the responsibility for the deficit in the
school fund upon the city council is not
very we'll supported by the facts. That
deficit is or will be $4,000. The
city council reduced the levy asked
for by the Board of Education
by only u mill or by less than $4,000.
ON the other hand the school board is
now proposing economies by which II
hopes TO reduce the deficit, but which
had they been introduced a year ago
might have forestalled 1t altogether.
When the school board learned what
sum was TO be at its disposal for the
last year 1t was its duty to keep ex-
penditures within that limit. 1t did not
do so. 1t is for this reason that the
present board finds itself in an un-
fortunate situation.

The disgracefal fracas in the house
of representatives between Congress
men Breckenridge of Kentucky and
Heard of Missouri brings the former
again into unenviable publicity. 1t
would seem from their explanations
that they We're about equally culpable
in the use of insulting epithets, but it
was the Kenttlfkia who broke the
peace, and his exhibition of furious
anger will not improve his standing
in public opinion. 1t would seem that
the experience he has had during the
past year would have had a chasten-
ing effect upon him, and, indeed, he
has endeavored to make it appear that
such was the case, but most people will
conclude from this last episode that the
professed change was merely pretense.
The fact seems to be that beneath 4
smooth and alluring exterior Breckin-
ridge carries a generous share of the
savagery of human nature. He will
retire to private life at the end of his
present term. 1t is to be hoped to re-
main in obscurity. AS public man he
has rendered no valuable service to the
country, while in his private career he
has violated almost every law of moral

accept It. II might be an improvement on
the present conditions. but there are few
good points to II. One proposition, however,
which might reasonably be embodied in the

payable in gold and from countries having
the silver standard be payable in either gold
or silver at the option Of the importer. Tho

Figures Showing the War Debt Paid In the
Last Thirty Years.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-Figures are
proverbaly correct, but an exception to the
rule is found in the report presented to the
house by Representative Coombes Of New
York. 1t is an epitomized statement of the
expenses devolving upon the government be-
cause of the war and the proportion of them
paid during the thirty years since 1865, as
we'll as the other expenditures of the govern
ment during the same period. The showing
is given in support of the contention made by
the president in his special message that
this generation has already paid more than
its share of the government debt.

A political crisis is imminent at Stock
holm. The conservative cabinet of NJ Bos-
troem has just issued decree increasing by
1870 per cent the import dues on foreign bread
stuffs This, however, in no way satisfies
the demands Of its supporters throughout
the country, who insist on an increase of
500 per cent, thereby placing a prohibitiye
tariff upon importation of corn from abroad
The sentiment throughout the country is
distinctly in favor of an -protectionlst
policy and as the cabinet has failed to give
satisfaction to the party that brought it
into power, its days are regarded as num-
bered. This must be considered as a sub
ject OF regret as far as the relations of
Sweden with Norway are concerned. For
the present administration has all along
shown considerable amount Of conclliation
and of diplomacy in its dealings with the
sister kingdom, whereas the ultra-conserya-
tives who will now be brought into offce
may be relied upon to inaugurate far more
aggressive and intolerant attitude
