CORN'S SWEET COMPANION.
Harvesting an Enormous Sugar Beet
Crop In Nebraska.

'- sioux CITY journal.
Unless some untoward event occurs to
change the crop prospect the largest job of
beet marketing ever done in Nebraska will
be entered upon this week. There are two
immense factories for the manufacture of
beet sugar In Nebraska. at Grand Island and
Norfolk. both OF which have been in opera
ton for several years. but the amount of
beets they will be able to buy has never
equaled the present outlook The managers
of the factory at Grand Island estimate that
they will have at least $4,000 tons of beets
offered them during the season, and at the
Norfolk factory 900 tons are expected.
This means some IA 900 900 pounds OF granu-
lated sugar from these factories, and they
will have to be run until late In the winter
to work up all the beets The factories have
been put in the best possible condition, and
all is ready for beginning operations.
The farmers in the vicinity of these beet
sugar factories are pleased with the outlook.
The lowest estimate on the average yield is
ten tons per acre. and the price for imme-
date delivery Is $5 ton. In some cases
larger yields are expected, running up to
twenty-five tons an acre in exceptional cases.
Such crops as this are profitable, even though
the prices formerly realized are not now pos
sibe. Present prices would not have been
profitable when the industry was first started,
but 1t is an industry that is growing and de-
yeloping all the time. The dry season last
year reduced the amount OF the crop, but
the quality was better than 1t will be this
season, tnOuSn tests snow tnht most OF tne
beets have from 10 to IA per cent OF sugar.
Better cultivation Of the fields than in former
years has been an important factor in the
making Of more valuable crops.
There are other cities in Nebraska that de-
sire the establishment Of the beet sugar in
dustry in their vicinity. There was an effort
made to get factory at Chadron, in the ex-
treme western part Of the state. and one
is hoped for at Randolph. Lincoln and other
places. 1t has been demonstrated that good
sugar beets can be grown in almost any part
OF the state. and with this fact In view II is
reasonable to suppose that other factories
will be built in the state and in adjoining
states.
1t would not do for the farmers Of Ne
braska to go too far with their beet sugar
farming. There is always danger of losses
in any country devoted to one kind OF farm
ing. and 1t would be as unwise for Nebraska
farmers to become exclusively sugar beet
growers as II was unwlse for the North Da-
kota farmers to stick to wheat to the exclu-
sion OF everything else. Nebraska is a good
stock and dairy state, especially In some
parts and 1t has splendid corn fields and
wheat fields and good crops of all kinds are
to be found there. Beet raising should be
simply one OF the things making up the
wealth of Nebraska. and the present pros
pect encourages the hope that the factories
are permanent and more OF them can be
proitably operated.

THE GREAT YACHT RACE.

The victory of the American yacht
the Americas cup will intensity inter
est in this event, though it is by no
means to be regarded as establishing
the superiority of the winning boat.
Both yachts showed excellent sailing
qualities and the fact that the De
fender came in eight minutes ahead
of the Valkyrie certainly warrants
stronger confidence than had been felt
in her ability to defeat the British
boat, but the relative merits of the
yachts cannot be determined from a
single race. But Americans may very
properly enthuse over the result and
doubtless the English hackers of the
Valkyrie will be given an opportunity
to attest their faith in her to the full
limit of their financial resources. The
conditions governing the match pro-
vide that it shall be decided by the
winning of three out of five races,
there being a different course for each
race, and that one day, not counting
Sunday, shall intervene between
each race. The second trial will
therefore take place on next Tuesday.
An unfortunate circumstance in con-
nection with yesterdays race, notwith
standing the supposed ample precau-
tions that had been taken, was the in
reference with both yachts, and espe
cially with the Valkyrie, of the excur-
sion steamers and it is to be hoped
still more rigid regulations to prevent
this in the races to come will be pro-
vided. However strongly Americans
may desire the success of the Defender
none should wish it achieved by other
than absolutely fair play.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Kansas City Star: The Methodist minis

a good many years ago to the foolishness
OF preachers.
New York Independents There is a class
OF people, both clerical and lay, who seem
to like to draw attention to the fact that
they are plous, and engage publicly in devo-
tion or In devotional reading in such way
as to suggest that they take great pride
in 1t and desire people to know what they
are doing. Such conduct is offensive to good
taste. II is as immodest to faunt ones vir-
tues as 1t is to haunt ones riches. or finery,
or achievements. 1t is as much in violation
Of good taste as are public demonstrations
OF affection between engaged couples.

ANOTHER SLOW BURNER BURNED.

The destruction of the Masonic tenn
pie at Boston by fire in broad daylight
and in the face of the fact that the
structure was presumed to be fire-proof
demonstrates again that imitation fire
proof buildings are not really fire-proof.
The so-called slow burning fireprooting
is Il delusion and snare No structure
with plank rafters, board partitions or
wooden stairways can be relied upon
to resist the ravages of fire.
On the other hand, buildings that are
constructed exclusively of stone, brick
and iron, even where the flooring is of
wood, are practically indestructible.
The worst that can happen in really
fire-proof building is the destruction of
furniture and the contents of particular
rooms in which the fire originates and
the consequent damage by smoke and
water to the interior The Boston Ma
sonic temple evidently was erected
more for imposing architectural display
than it was for durability and resist
ance to the elements.

SUFFRAGE IN UTAH.

Philadelphia Press: The decision of the
Utah supreme court that women cannot vote
at the coming state election and on the adop-
tion ot the constitution Is in accord with
law and common sense How the lower
court could have reached another conclusion
will puzzle the veriest tyro and it will show
what ludcrous decisions are sometimes
handed down from the bench. The enabling
act passed by congress says that those who
now have suffrage privileges in Utah can
vote on the adoption of the constitution.
Women have not had such privileges in Utah
for years, and yet in the face of these plain
facts judge was found capable of affirming
their right to vote Fortunately the su-
preme court saved the new state from max
ing blunder at the start and put an end to
the alleged scheme of the democrats to WITH
ate the vote on the constitution and give Mr..
Cleveland an excuse for Withholding his proc
lamation admitting the state into the union
If the republicans carry the election.
Chicago Chronicle; The territorial supreme
court of Utah has reversed the decision of
Judge King on the subject of woman suf-
frage. The new decision Is concurred in by
majority Of the judges. They hold that
women cannot register and vote on the adop-
tion of the new constitution. This
is good law. But it will produce complica-
tions. Women are registering throughout the
territory for the purpose of voting on the
constitution and for state and local officers to
be chosen at the same time Their votes on
the constitution will be void What will be-
come of their votes for state and local Off
GERS? IL the constitution shall be ratified
and proclaimed they will become voters. If
the ratification Of the constitution should
have retroactive effect their votes will be
valid. Many women are candidates for office.
But even If elected they cannot hold Office
unless the constitution for which they are
ineligible to vote shall enfranchise them

INsANiTEHERE AND ABRoAD.

The increase of insanity is fruitful
topic of discussion among medical men
and 1t is n subject of general interest.
Nearly all the reports of specialists and
directors of institutions devoted to the
care and treatment of persons afflicted
with mental maladies show that the
number of such patients is growing.
1t Is a noteworthy fact that notwith-
standing the greater mental activity of
the American people, with its conse-
quent excitement anxiety and worry,
the increase of insanity is not so
marked in the United States in proper
ton to the population as in Great Brit
ain and some other countries.
"A paper read by DR.. Forbes Winslow,
the great English authority on brain
diseases, before the Medico-Legal CON
gress in session in New York the past
week, presented some interesting sta
tistics regarding insanity. According
to these in Great Britain the proper
tion of lunatics is 1 in every 400 of
the population, in France in every
T4I, and in America 1 in every 623.
In New South Wales there is one lu-
matte in every 361 of the population. 1t
thus appears that the showing for this
country is very much better than that
for Great Britain, though it is bad
enough to arrest attention as present
ing really serious matter for consid-
GRAFTON. According to the census of 1890
the number of insane persons in
asylums in the United States was
about 10000. Accepting as approxi-
mately correct the statistics given by
DR.. Winslow, the number of insane in
this country at present is about 10000,
an increase of only 5000 in five years.
In Great Britain on January 1, 1895,
according to the very latest available
there were 9i,0S1 persons reg
istered as of unsound mind in the va
rious institutions provided for such per-
sons, which was an increase of 2,014 in
n year. In ten years there has been an
increase of over 1000 persons of un-
sound mind in every 10000 of the
gross population in Great Britain
There are about 90,679 persons of un-
sound mind ip France out of popua-
ton of 3S,OOG000
No one who feels an interest in his
fellow creatures can contemplate these
figures and reflect that they are being
steadily increased without being i'm
pressed. More than 100000 men and
women in our own land who are mental
wrecks, living without the light of
reason to guide them is pathetic fact
and also serious one when it is
known that the proportion of such to
population is growing year by year
A variety of causes contribute to the
increase of insanity, chief among which
are intemperance, destitution and mis-
cry, disappointed hopes and the worry
and strain incident to the rapid life of
this age. 1t is much easier to discover
the causes of the disease than it is to
apply remedies, but there is reason to
hope for Improvement when thoughtful
men, such as composed the Medico-
Legal congress, are devoting careful
and patient consideration to the sub
ject.

The address to the American people
by the president of the Cuban revOlu-
tionary junta, urging the recognition of
the insurgents as belligerents and
deprecating the efforts to prevent aid
being extended to them, makes some
points that are not without force
though it cannot be admitted that
there is the perfect similarity he claims
between the cause of the American col
onists and that of the Cuban insur-
gents. Still it is easy to understand
that he and all who are engaged in
the effort to free Cuba from Spanish
domination should so regard it and
American sympathy with them will
rather be intensified because they do
so. But the men who are battling for
Cuban independence ought to see that
the United States has solemn Obliga-
tions in this matter which every con-
sideration of international integrity and
duty requires it to fulfill AS to bel
ligerent rights they can only be rec
ognized when the insurgents have es-

their ability to maintain it. Until then
they will have to be content with such
moral support as comes from general
and hearty American sympathy with
their cause

mand the increased production will
come of its own accord. Beet sugar is
