CRUMBliNG TO RUINS.
Unless Repaired Lincoln's Splendid
Column Will Fall.

The Lincoln Monument is about to fall
down. This is the alarming condition in
which n committee from the Illinois Leg
islature has just found it. The tomb of
the great emancipation is suffering from
neglect. Something must be dOne-and
done with celerity-or the stately 'obe-
lisk may be an irretrevable ruin. There
is widespread demand that the State of
Illinois take charge of the monument, fix
it up, and make it free TO the world. That
this will be done during the present ses-
sion of the Legislature seems highly
probable.
The money with which the Lincoln
Monument was built came from all parts
of the land. Lincoln was scarcely dead
when the movement was started for the
erection of monument ut his old home.
The original cost of the Lincoln Monu-
ment was about 100000. But its con-
struction was faulty, and only n few
years ago the State was called upon 10
expend several thousand dollars in max

German Merchants Angry.

European economists are alarmed at
,,,he prospect that the United States, the
greatest sugar country in the world, ANA
always relied upon To absorb the surplus
European product, will at no distant date
produce all of its own sugar Frank Ma
son, United States Consul General ut
Frankfort. Germany, has submitted TO the
State Department n special report on
American competition in sugar produc-
ton. which is full of interesting statistics
on the subject.
Among other things he shows that the
crop of beet-sugar last year exceeded ny
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 treblcd. Careful
examinations Of the possibilities of beet
sugar production in the United States
have been made by European correspond
ents who show that certain districts. no
tably California and some of the more
Southerly and Westerly States, enjoy de-
cided natural advantages over all the
beet-producing countries of Europe.
-Four elements enter into the COMPETE
ton, climate, cost and fertility of land,
cost Of labor and the effective economy
of the machinery and methods of cultiya-
ton and sugar manufacture. In all but
one-cost of labor-the United States has
the advantage. An English corresponds
ont shows that whereas heetgrowing in
., Germany, Notwithstanding the cheapness
of labor costs on an average of 5000
Ter acre; in California, in spite of high
wages the net cost does not exceed SlI.DO
per acre, a difference of $50 so per acre
in favor of the Pacific coast. Land is
also cheaper and the California farmer
works Il rich virgin soil, while his German
rival is restricted TO old, WORKOUT 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 En-
gland to plant beets instead of wheat.
A report has been received by Secretary
Morton from United States Consul Morss
in Paris showing the cost of Il complete
equipment for beet sugar mills of different
capacities. The cost of Il mill of capac-
ity of 1615 tons is shown 10 be $1SG, 1911;
of IL tons, S13S, 116, and of 012 tons, of
$4,000 The machinery upon which
these estimates are made, says Consul
Morss, is of the latest and most improved
patterns, and the installations contempla-
ted are first-class in every respect. The
figures represent the cost of the material
free on board cars in the station ut
Havre. and do not include the maritime
transportation, assurance etc, which re-
main at the charge of the consignee.

reported Armenian atrocities, and who at
present is in Armenia. For reasons that
will be readily understood, the name of
this correspondent is withheld but he is
n newspaper man well known in America,
and he was instructed TO make an impair
tial investigation of the stories told of
Turkish cruelty. He spent n week or
more in Constantinople before starting
for Armenia, during which time he in
vestigated the reports current there and
continued his journey. His first letter
has Just reached here, after having been
posted by trusted messenger at Tifis,
RUSSIA. 1t contains the first authentic
news from Armenia direct, and says:
whatever secrets may lie under the
snow on the Armenian mountains, il
seems beyond dispute from what / have
heard from many lips, that the published
stories of ferocious butchery and red hor-
ror in the Sassoun villages have at least
reasonable foundation Of truth, and
that any change authorized by further
investigation will deal more with num-
