WHY HAVE ANY CAMPAIGN?

Josiah Qnlncy gives it up and recog nizes the inevitablcness of Repu blicsn victory next fall. That IS, he says that the record of the incum bent adminis- tration will be the issue in the next campaign. If that is the case. and It is very largely true, inc brevity of the campaign might be indifnitely cur tailed for the present administration stands today condemned before the American people. At every opportun. ity the people have emphasized the truth of this statement and if the cam paign is to be waged or the record MT. Cleveland has made, the issue IS be- yond doubt.
 MT. Quincy is of the opinion that the tariff question will not enter into the campaign at least on the part of the Democrats; and in making that state ment he is undou btedly correct. He, at least, if no other prominent Democrat does, recognizes the futility of appeal ing to the people on the issue of another "war to the death" upon American in. dustries. The people are weary of the war and they are waiting to get 6

Legislative Action in Regard to the
 Age of Consent.
 Helen H. Gardeners summing up of the campaign of legislation on the pro. tection of young girls-the so-called "age of consent" question-is one tea- ture of the Septem Der Arena that will be sure to attract the widest attention Tn the three states dealt with in this issue. She treats of the legislation se- cured, raising the age of protection in Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri, and the full reports of the proceedings will afford both those in favor of the move ment and those opposed to 1t an oppor' tunity to weigh the arguments pro and con. Last month the Arena described the legislative effect on this subject in New York, Idaho, and Arizona: Por- traits of ex-Assembl blyman Will C; Barnes and Dr. Ancil Martin, lent local interest to matter of great concern foI all thinking citizens.

of sugar and the benefit would have been enormous. The law should be promptly revived in some form 50 that the founding of this most in portant in- dustry may be completed. Production of our oW supply of sugar would save the country $1OO,OOO,OOO of gold an. nually; and it would be far better for the government to encourage the build ing of factories than to be engaged in the occupation of issuing bonds.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The crop ot beet sugar in Nebraska this year will amount to 100000 pounds. Under the old contracts made with the factories the farmers are still able to grow the beets at profit; and with the low prices of other farm prod ucts, it is probable that the beet grow ing will continue to be quite as remun- erative as anything else. The bounty got the industry established there and it will no doubt live and flourish in a way.
 It was the plan of the law that the bounty should be withdrawn after 8 stated number of years. The theory was that the business would have be. come established so firmly that it would maintain itself thereafter without as- sistance. The experience in Nebraska is demonstrating the correctness of the theory. The bounty was shut off toe soon for the full benefit of it to be ex- perienced there, but the business founded through it's instrumentality continues.
 l If the law had been left undisturbed, as it should have been, we would soon have seen the sugar industry estab. lished in many other states as firmly as it is in Nebraska, Utah and California. In very few years this country would have been producing it's entire supply

SEPTEMBER is here and the sad thought comes that the delightful junketing trips which various members of the cabinet have enjoyed at the pub lie expense must soon end. Still, the statesmen of MT. Cleveland's official family will have the sweet consolation of knowing that they made uncommon ly good use of their opportunities while the same lasted.

Haasville.
Dec. 31st, 1894.

lee. Ol6t, lOS4.
The old year in it's departure, left US
a reminder by the way of the coolest
blizzard witnessed since Jan. 9Th, 1886.
On the morning of the 29th inst. the
mercury at sunrise stood at 19o above
zero, and on Saturday morning follow
ing, the Goth, the intense cold had forced
the mercury down to 144, with a hard
dry freeze and frost.
1t is well that it is as dry as it is or
otherwise the damage TO cane and stub
BILE would in all probability been very
serious. The windrowed cane in expos
ed places is frozen and should a warm
rain come on, producing a sudden thaW,
some loss in cane may take place.
The planters and ane growers OF this
and adjoining sections of the country
have a large tonnage in cane yet on
hand to work off. All are anxious fol-
a continuance of fair weather until al
least the cane crop can be safely har'
vested.
The times are too close and hard just
now for the farmers to incur loss they
need every cent possible that they can
| get out of their a u or cotton as the
case may be.
The Christmas season now passing
out was not in many respects as gay as
we have witnessed. Everybody says
1.-THE times are too hard to enjoy Christ
mas in the old fashioned way" From
appearances it must be SO, for every
| thing and every body was very quiet ant
| continues to be so 70 date.
From present indications it appears
| the acreage to be planted to cotton il
this vicinity for the year 1895 will bt
about the same as that of '94-not very
light. Whether the acreage to cane
| will be increased Or not, we think de
| ponds somewhat on the action OF Con
gress on the bounty, etc.
Why not try planting more acres tt
| both sorts, beets, cabbage etc. Raise
a few more fat hogs and beeves to hell
tide over the dull times; more poultry
eggs and butter. This might be the
means of starting some new industry.

A Word About Boys.

Treat your boys as though they were
Of some Importance, il you would have
them manly and self-reliant.
Be careful of the little courtesies.
You cannot expect your boy to be res
pectfui, and kind, unless you first set
him the example.
If you would have your boy make
you his confidant, take an active in
terest in all that he does. Don't be too
critical, but ask for his views and
opinions at all times.
Don't keep your boys in ignorance Of
things they should know. 1t is not the
wholesome truth, but the unwholesome
way in which it is acquired, that ruins
many a young man.
Don't act as ii you thought your boy
amounted to nothing, nor be con-
tinually making comparisons between
him and some neighbor'2 son, to his dis
advantage; nothing will %dishearten
him quicker.
Don't think that anything is good
enough for the boys, and that they
don't care for nice things. Have their
rooms fitted up as nicely as possible.
Let them understand that their room
will justify your pains.
- - uRAlCI youA IVY SltH SoOOt
some reading matter. Have him read
to you and with you. Discuss with him
what you read, and draw out his
opinions and thoughts upon the sub
jects. Help him to think early for
himself.
Make home a pleasant place; see to it
that the boys don't have to go ONE
where else to secure proper freedom
and %congenial companionship. Take
time and pains to make them feel COM
Portable and contented, and they will
not want to spend, their evenings away
from home.
Pick your sons associates. See to it
that he has no friends that you do not
know about. Take an interest in all
his troubles and pleasures, and have
him feel perfectly free to invite his
friends to the house. Take a little
pains to make him and his friends CON-
Portable and happy in his own home.
He will not be slow to appreciate your
kindness.-Mother's COMPANION.
