out. and capitalists will not invest their
money either in new undertakings or to
extend old ones so long as such uncer-
taintv hangs over financial legislation.
The situation of the national treasury
grows daily more critical. Secretary
Csrlisle's estimates OF revenue receipts
have not been realized, the government
is ronniug behind in its EXPENSES, which
results in continual drains of gold. The
exports of the yellow metal for the past
week were unusually heavy, While
there is no expectation that the present
congress will be able to agree upon a
satisfactory currency bill, there is one
CLEAN of hope. The leaders of both
parties seem to have awakened to the
fact that the main trouble Is the de-
ticiency of revenue, and they may agree
on a measure TO increase the revenue
with Jut attempting TO revolutlonize the
country's monetary system. Such log
station would have an immediate brac-
ing effect upon business. Insure the
national treasury sufficient income to
meet current expenses, and currency re-
form can wait.
We recently published the !, recast of
the financial prophet, Benner, who can
see no signs of better times for the com
ing year, but writer in a recent issue
of a financial paper takes a more hope
full view. He says that liquidation in
every direction is now complete, and
the present deprecated prices of all
kinds of properties fully discount bad
crops, bad national legislation, gold ex-
ports and other ills. The worst that
can possibly happen to the country
from it's foes, at home or abroad, has
been realized, and radical changes In the
future must be in the direction of bet
terments, and not disasters. This is the
sanguine view. The fulfllment of the
ophecy depends a good deal upon
whether liquidation in all directions is
actually completed or ot,--Minneapolls

from being a certainty, there would not
be time for the senate to conduct the
trial, even if other things more import
ant we're left undone. There Is another
little obstacle that must be familiar to

accused forty days notice in imPeach-

Great Britain will have to wait long
time before she gets chance to lease
that Hawaiian island for a cable station.
Mr.. Cleveland is accused of having mis-
represented the sentiment of the Hawa-
iian government concerning that request
for the consent OF the United States to
such modification Of the reciprocity
treaty as will permit the island to be
leased to Great Britain. According to
more direct information, the government
OF Hawaii doesn't want that treaty mod
fled at all, if the United States will only
officially define its future intentions
towards Hawaii; and the request was
made rot because a modification was
wanted, but to give congress a good
opportunity to declare itself on the sub
iect, and with the belief that it would
be refused. Mr.. Cleveland evidently
thought d fferently. or he would not
have committed himself in fayCr of grant
ing the request.
In the opinion of everybody whose
opinion is worth having Secretary
Gresham would better have sent the cor-

asked for by Senator Lod ge's resolution
to the senate without comment than to
have attempted to write de.ense
founded upon assertions not borne out
by the official correspondence, as he did.
Senator Lodge says of Gresham's at
tempt to wriggle out of the RESPONSE
bilitv: Instead of those students being
confessed spies our representative In
China insisted that they we're not spies
at all and that there was nothing to sus-
tain the charge against them except the

average about Is columns a day on the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1895.
Democratic senators who started out
| to show the democrats of the house how
easy 1T was to agree upon financial OIL
| made a very short trip. They did not
agree upon financial bill nobody
really expected them to--but they split
/ the democratic factions little wider
apart that they we're before Indeed, 1T
may really be said that they added a
new faction to those already existing IN
the ranks of the party. The democratic
party in the senate now consists of the
! Cleveland men, or cuckoos, who are few
! in number and small in influence; the
| Gorman1tes, or anti Cleveland men, who
have dominated the little that has been
done by the ma GRITTY of the senate, aud
David B Hill, who is alone in the sem
ate. but who is feared because of his in
tluence in the party outside Of congress.
With these factions each pulling diff
ferent way nothing can be done IN the
senate that does not receive the support
of tie republicans. 1t is because of this
fact that business continues to improve,
notwithstanding democratic attempts to
tinker with the finance, as they did with
the tariff. The business men of the
country know that the republican SEN
atcrs can be depended upon to prevent
any disastrous financial legislation, and
hope that they can induce the majority
to agree to some tariff amendments that
will make the revenues of the govern
ment sufficient to meet the expenditures
before the session closes.

Sugar Beets in Washington

Louisiana Planter, Jan, 18th
The Planter has received from Prof.
Elton Fulmer chemist of the Washing
ton agricultural college and experiment
station, at Pullman, Washington, his re-
port on the sugar beet work done by
the station during the last season. The
results are simply wonderful The 1906
analyses made showed an average
sucrose content OF 14,2 por cent, and a
purity of $40 per cent. Professor Full
mer desires to eliminate one variety OF
beet, the Vilmorin Improved, from his
calculations, because his 1872 analyses of
it average but Ill sucrose and II pur-
itv, figures that are above much of our
Louisiana cane this year. These analy-
ses omitted, the rest average 1872 per
cent. sucrose and 1873 per cent. purity.
1t may take some years to build up
the beet sugar industry in the state of
Washington, but these figures indicate
the ultimate certainty of its develop
ment there.
WHY should the sta,e of Washington
expert wheat and import sugar when
her own fields will furnish sugar making
material of such high grade?
