Mixed Politics in Indiana,

Legislative superintendent of 1895, passed
by Republicans. The case came up
from Sullivan county, and involved the
superintendent act also of 1898, passed
by Democrats. This also goes down as
unconstitutional. The decision suggests
that special session Of the legislature
might be called to remedy the situation,
which has become chaotic by to.day's
decision. The legislature Is Republican,
and Governor Matthews. has said that
he would not call 1t together.

THE BEET SUGAR PLANS
COL. SPRECKELS ADDRESSES THE
FARMERS.
Largest Refinery in the World for Cal
ifornia-Salinas Nalley-Speaks of
Heavy OUTLAWS.
(San Francisco CALI

The reception given at Salinas to
MIR. Claus Spreckels by the people OF
Monterey County is one of the events
of the day that can be regarded with
of all classes. 1t was a gathering of
men representing all forms of industry
in the county, both urban and rural,
and gave expression to the common
esteem which all industrious men have
for those great promoters of industry
whose works tend to increase prosper
ity, advance civilization and add to
the welfare of all.
The occasion was in every way wor-
thy of such a gathering. Mr.. Spreck-
els went to Salinas to announce to the
farmers of the surrounding district
that if they would furnish him with
the sugar beets he would erect in that
county the largest and best equipped
sugar refinery in the world. In his adj
dress he said: THE factory will cover
wide area of land. 1t will eat up
5000 tons of beets every day and turn
out every day $50 tons of refined sugar
ready for market. That means the
distribution among the farmers of
$4,000 every day, and $4,000 more paid
! to workmen and for other materials
in the manufacturing. You can see.
therefore, that this is an important
matter. Now, as | say, it is for you
to grow the beets. I'll do the rest"
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
an address of that kind, containing n
/ promise of such industrial munif-
cence from man whose promises are
as good as gold awakened a true en-
| thusiasm among the listeners. Such
an announcement of enterprise woul:'
be noted as a matter of importance
even in the largest cities and to the
wealthiest states in the Union. To the
people of Salinas and Monterey coun.
| ty is was an assurance of the begin
ming of vertitable new era. An in
dustry which will distribute S12, 00n
among farmers and $4,000 among work
ingmen every day of the year will
surely exert a powerful and ever-wid.
enng influence for good, and by tho
wealth it diffuses through the com
munity afford the means for the estab

PAUL NEUMANN.
He Is Ill at San Observation-Disclosures
of the Trip.

At last accounts, per the Australia,
Paul Neumann was quite a sick man
at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.
He was taken i'll on the way up on
the Monowai, and his condition is re-
ported to be such that he may be in
bed for some days to come. A con-
tinuation of the trouble suffered from
here seems to be the matter.
Speaking of Mr.. Neumann's trip 20
the Coast, an exchange says:
Paul Neumann will go from here 20
Guatemala as soon as his health will
permit him to undertake the journey.
He says that he has not come here
solely for his health. He has been adj
vised that steamer line may be start
ed to run between Guatemala and the
Orient, and he intends visiting Guate-
mala to induce the promoters of the
enterprise to run their steamers into
Honolulu. In this, it is said, he is
backed by certain large business inter-
ests in Honolulu.

KATE FIELD.
(San Francisco Chronicle.)

(San Francisco Chronicle.)
The body of Kate Field still lies in a
receiving vault at Honolulu as there
seems to be no one in the United
States who is willing to bear the eN-
pense of its removal to the spot in
the Adirondack woods, where Miss
Field wished to be buried. Unless the
Hawaiian anneXationists, in whose be-
half the journalist risked her health
and lost her life. take it upon them
selves to send the remains to this
country, it is likely that they will stay
where they are. Considering who
Kate Field was and what she did for
people and for causes in her useful
life, the fact that her last wishes can
not be carried out for want of beg
carly $1,000 verges very nearly upon
SCANDAL

just why 1000 insurgents failed to
annihilate 100 Spanish, which circum-
stance the dispatches relate, is mex
plicable. 1t is equally mysterious that
the Weyler report did not have the 100
Spaniards put the 1000 Cubans 20
fight. 1t is clear that published ac-
counts of the Island engagements are
not to be depended upon. The only
thing that seems certain is that the
rebels are doing lots of damage and
that they will not down.

PLANTERS FOR AI'KINLEY.

New Orleans, July 3O.-The sugar
planters wing of the Republican
party held its convention today in this
city. The request of the regular Of
black wing of the party for a confer
ence was completely ignored, and the
convention simply declared itself as
the Republican party of the State, for
protection, sound money, Mckinley
and Hobart and fair elections.
