The American Economist cites some
figures which prove the value of the
sugar bounty advocated by republicans.
A plant or beet sugar factory costing
100000 will use, say, 300 tons of beets a
day, during a Champaign" of 100 days,
each ton producing an average of 165
pounds of sugar, or a total output Of
4,950,000 pounds. This is probably con
siderably over the average mark, be-
cause it has not resultd in the past in this
country. But ever on this basis it would
take 800 beet sugar factories to produce
the requisite 100000, 900 pounds of
sugar for home consumption. The ver
age beet yield is probably twelve tons to
the acre, often more, and sometimes less,
but on this basis it would take twenty
five acres of beets per day, or $500 acres,
to supply n factory during a "cam-
paign," say 100000 acres per annum to
give us sugar enough for our own supply.
The labor in the factory on a ton of beets
is from s1.5o to s1.57 per ton, or, say,
$3.50 per day; $4,000 in a Campaign" in
n factory, to say nothing of the amount
paid out for labor IN the field to grow
the beets. In 800 factories it would be
$685. 1000. The coal, coke, limestone,
bags and oil, per ton of beets worked,
cost s1.37, or SAIL per day; SAL 100 in a
"campaign," and in 800 factories $780,
900. The freight on the material is "a
cents per ton of beets, or s72 per day,
$1,000 in a Campaign" and for 800 fac
tories our railways would receive in
transportation charges s5,760,000. These
are only some considerations which enter
into the question Of producing our own
sugar, giving employment in our own
country to labor in divers directions,
and especially in the coal, coke and
limestone industries.

HE Chicago police are resting on
their laurels in the Holmes case.
Hardly a day has passed in the past two
or three weeks, but some new skeleton
has been unearthed in the Holmes
slaughter house, with the possible ex-
ception Of the Sundays which have sus-
pended operations once each week. The
collection of anatomical bric-a-brac
which has accumulated under the pry.
ing eyes of the sleuth hounds of the law
is now almost as large as the building in
which it was discovered, and the list of
Holmes victims resembles a census bull
letln. 1t appears now, however, that the
store of treasure has been exhausted.
With the exception of an occasional trail
OF blood or mysterious foot print in the
dust of one of the dungeons with which
the place abounds, the discoveries of the
past few days have been minor. The
stock of corpses appears to have been
exhausted, and the lead worked out.
But the Chicago police force can afford
to rest on ite ~laurels, of which there are
many. Its members, who have con-
Quoted the mining operations, have
furnished the world more moldy and
Wondering corpses and more columns of
solid newspaper type than any thing
which has occurred since the civil war.
The only thing which remains to be
done now, is to unearth some clue which
shall serve to connect Holmes in some
discriminating way with the corpses
which have been discovered.

STATISTICS received at the govern
ment Indian bureau show that 10000 In
dams are now engaged in farming, stock
raising, and other civilized pursuits.
During the year they raised over 1,373,-
600 bushels of corn and other grain and
vegetables in proportion. They own
5000 head of cattle, and 1884, 900

In view of the extent to which cleo
tricity is taking the place of steam as a
traction power, the business alliance
which has been formed between the
Baldwin Locomotive Works and the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacture
ing company must be regarded as of
great significance. The two firms in
question represent the rival forms Of
mechanical force in railroadlng, and the
fact that a union should have been ef-
fected shows that they have both come
to the conclusion that electricity instead
of steam is to be the motive force Of the
future. According to the New York
Tribune, one of the first attempts of the
new concern will be to design a large
railway motor which shall be adapted to
high speed, long-distance passenger ser.
vice. The problems which are involved
in this task are more serious than one
might suppose. It is one thing to put a
set of field magnets in a frame and re-
volve an armature between them by
means of an electric current admitted
through a wire, and get 100, 200 or 500
horsepower out Of that machine when
1t rests solidly on a foundation of ma
sorry in a big shop. But it is quite a
different thing to suspend that same
machine, or a similar one, on a huge
truck and drive it over a railroad track
at the rate of forty-fve, sixty or ninety
miles an hour. An electric motor is a
delicate piece of machinery in some re-
spects; and, as built today, will not
'stand the racket; that a limited express
locomotive experiences.

Washington Post, says an exchange,
has on it's editorial staff one of the
brightest photographers in America.
Henry L. Merrick's three-line editorials
have attracted attention wherever the
paper has been seen, and there is prob
ably no writer on the American press
today who is as frequently quoted as Mr..
Merrick. He has the faculty of putting
into q brief paragraph as much informa.
ton as 80 per cent Of the writer's could
get into a column. During his connec-
ton viii the Washington Post Mr.. Mer-
rick has poked a good deal of fun at
Jones, formally of the st. Louis Repub-
lie, and at Congressman Quigg, now the
editor of New York Press. Some time
ago the New York World made a con-
tract with Merrick to furnish a certain
number of paragraphs a day. Later
Jones was given charge of the World,
and the first thing he did vas to cut
Merrick off the pay roll. Quigg, on the
other hand, as soon as he took the New
York Press, showed his appreciation of a
good thing by entering into a contract
with Merrick for just the kind of rubs
on other politicians that Merrlck had
formerly worked off on Mr.. Quigg, him
self. Newspaper men here regard this
as a very strong indication that Quigg
knows a good thing when he sees it in
~finitely better than Jones does.

interview. Secretary Bowling was elected
to that position at the Cleveland con-
vention of republican clubs last June.
He has taken a leading part in Mime
sofa politics, is a warm friend of Senator
Davis and is we'll pleased with General
McAlpin as president of the National
Republican league. II am satisfied" he
said, :."that General McAlpin is the
right man in the right place as presi-
dent. In accordance with his wishes, [
shall go to Chicago Sunday and begin at
once the thorough organization of the
league. In doing so we will adopt the
plan which has been followed with so
much success in conducting the Ameri.
can Protective Tariff league. This plan
has been attended with great success,
and a be applied with advantage in
carrying out the work of our republican
league. We have determined" continued
Secretary Bowling, "as a league to make
every effort in oar power to win over to
the republican ranks Missouri, Tennes-
see, Kentucky and West Virginia. In the
latter state a good beginning has been
made. General McAlpin and myself are
in complete accord, and will work in full
harmony" During his visit east Secretary
Bowling has been among the republican
leaders as we'll as with the rank and file
of the party. He says: II find the re-
publicans in the east full of confidence
that everything is coming our way. The
democrats are thoroughly dissatisfied
with the administration, and speak, for
the most part, with scorn of Cleaveland."
Concerning the National Republican
league, which keeps clear of all factions,
Secretary Bowling says: "The league
is growing rapidly. The demand for the
services of organizers is greater than we
can meet, from lack of funds, but we are
dong the best we can. In general the
clubs are full of republican ardor and
are doing much to win over our oppo.
tents and keep them in our ranks" "Pro-
tectlon," Secretary Bowling also says,
will clearly be the leading issue in the
presidential campaign of 1896, and
largely so because of the hard experience
the country has gone through since free
trade got a footing at the elections of
1892. The democratic party will try to
evade the issue and divide the republic
car party by raising the currency ques-
ton, but that will not avail"

The excitement in Northern Pacific
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-08-16

The better financial condition of the
Northern Pacific road at this time will
be taken advantage of to the improve
ment of the road bed, and there will be
two classes of improvements undertaken
which will extend from Minnesota clear
to the Pacific coast. In a word, all the
heavy grades are to be greatly reduced
and the timber t~reAtles are to be re-
placed, wherever possible, with solid
earthwork or steel t~restles. The object
of lowering the grades is to allow the
hauling of larger freight trains, and the
need of this is brought about partially
by the immense oriental traffic which
the Northern Pacific and it's steamship
connections have worked up, whereby
$4,000 tons of east-bound tea and other
oriental freight have been shipped east
from Tacoma since Jan. l. The lower
grades will effect agreat saving in power,
and in some places engines will be able
to haul thirty-two cars to a train, where
they now haul sixteen. The grade re-
auctions will extend over every division.
The doing away with the timber work
now to be continued has been in pro-
gress for five years, so that there are
now forty-two miles less of timber work
on the road than in 1890. It is the in
tention to do away with all timber work,
including ever the mammoth t~restles on
the Rocky Mountain division. Con-
tractc will soon be let for rebuilding Of
t~restles across smaller streams in Mon
tana with steel, and the filling in of
trestle work with earth, will be con-
tinued all along the road. Judge Jen-
kins says the road is now in excellent
financial as we'll as physical condition.
Both he and the receivers are greatly
pleased with the increase in net earn
ings. The road, he says, could now be
turned over to the company any time if
bondholders could agree upon a plan of
reorganization.

Ladies' Fancy Waists for Early Spriue

With the growing taste for fancy waists
wholly independent of the skirt the prob
lem of economical dressing becomes sus.
ceptible of an easy solution this season
The same skirt can be made to serve more
than one purpose, and on the other hand
the bodice not being compelled to conform
in style to the latter, may be put to several
uses. This distinction between the two
parts of the costumes is greatly facilitated
by the new materials. Thus, the highly
artistic broche crepon of latest importa-
tons is admirably suited to skirts both
stylish in appearance and practical for
everyday wear. The Mcdowell Fashion
Magazines just received contain many de-
signs of new models of bodces as well as
skirts which render them unusually at
tractiye this month. A practical feature of
these journals is their special coupon pat
