A CHANGE for the south.

We suppose southern formers noticed
the result of the sugar beet test made by
the department Of agriculture. That test
showed that beets grown in the southern
states are very much richer in saccharine
matter than those grown in any other sec
ton, or in Europe. The conclusion is that
in the south sugar beets can be grown
! proftably.
There are portions Of the south better
adapted, because OF Their soil and climate,
10 the growing of sugar beets than others
1t would seem as if the railroads would
seek out these locations, just as they
have made known the best peach and
tobacco growing localities, and encourage
the planting of sugar beets and the build
ing Of central sugar beet factories.
At the present prices for raw sugar
sugar beets command a good price in the
west They would command a better
price in the south because of their greater
richness in saccherine matter. The
chances are that the present tariff will
remain in force several years. As long as
il does remain in force raw sugar will
command a pretty high price.
<AiipAAFI lLOiiey crop WOulu De q great
benefit TO the south and there are good
reasons for thinking that sugar beets
would be such a crop.
1t Is not generally understood that there
is a great dea. more sugar produced from
beets now than from cane. The amount
Of sugar from beets is steadily increasing.
Farmers find the cultivation of sugar
beets profitable, provided their farms are
in sections in which the soil and climate
are adapted to them.
Experiments would show what parts OF
the south are adapted for sugar beet Gull
ture. If the government is not prepared
to distribute seed for experiments the
railroads ought to distribute them. Por-
tons of the south produce sugar cane
proftably. If large areas of the south will
produce sugar beets probably the time
may not be distant when this country win
not have to import the greater part of its
sugar supply.

Dnneerous DereIicts:

In our marine intelligence column
Thursday attention was called to the fact
that the wreck Of the schooner Agnes 1.
Grace, thirty-four miles off Tybee. is ly-
ing in a position dangerous to coastwise
commerce. Two of her mast are broken
off a few feet below the surface and the
third one will probably be soon broken off.
The hull is on the bottom. The submerged
masts, therefore, stand like the tines of a
monster pitchfork ready to puncture the
hull of any lucklesa craft which may
chance to be dropped upon them by the
swells of the sea. At present the single
remaining topmast protruding from the
water marks by day the resting place of
the wreck, which is some distance from
the buoy placed by a revenue cutter some
time ago. At night there is nothing to
warn the mariner of the hidden danger
When the remaining topmast goes, as 1t
shortly will, there will remain no mark
either by day or night. to put the sailor
on guard.
In our telegraph columns Thursday was
a dispatch from New York telling of the
firing ST sea of the derelict lumber schoon-
er Grace Bradley, from Brunswick for
Boston. The steamer Eidsvold narrowly
escaped a collision in the night with the
derelict and set fire to it in the hope of
destroying it and removing a menace to
other vessels. The probabilities are, ac-
cording to seafaring men, that the wreck,
being lumber laden, burned to the waters
edge and no further, and that it is at this
moment floating around in the path of
commerce barely awash and a more dan
gerous menace to shipping than ever be-
fore. The hulk and cargo if stin afoat,
are now practically one solid, unwieldy,
water-logged mass, well calculated to
speedily send to the bottom any vessel
which might have the misfortune to run
afoul of it in the dark
These derelicts. however, are but two
out of probably twenty between the Flor
ida capes' and the Delaware breakwa ter.
The recent storm, the edge of which
brushed this city, caused several casual
ties at sea, which have been reported in
our columns. Sea captains arriving in
port here and elsewhere on this coast.
since the storm, report having sighted
floating wreckage. many of the derelcts
being in dangerous positions. 1t seems
to be the duty of the federal authorities
the navy or the treasury department,
or both-to take steps to remove these
derelicts at the earliest possible moment
There needs to be some systematic reg
ulatlon with regard to such work. I'm
der present circums tances it might be a
good plan to instruct the naval vessels
watching for filibusters to take few days
Off from that service and go out and dy-
Mantle the derelicts.

Too MANY Pnrhnns.

One effect of a 100 free use of the par
doning power is to make people lose their
respect for the law and the machinery
for enforcing Il. When criminals con-
victed at an enormous expense are given
their freedom before they have served
the terms for which they were sentenced
the question is asked. What is the use
OF mourning the cost Of convicung crimi-
mas? People reach the conclusion that if
society is 70 be protected against law
breakers summary methods must be
adopted. There IS resort 10 lynch law be-
cause of the belief that that is the only
kind Of law by which adequate punish
ment can be melted out to the offender.
In our dispatches two or three weeks
ago there was an account Of the lynch
ing Of five men in Ripley county, Indiana.
That lynching occurred directly after the
President had pardoned Francis A. Coffin,
who had been twice convicted of having
assisted to rob national bank Of which
he was an officer. Coffin is an Indiana
man and the bank he assisted in plunder-
ing was an Indiana institution He was
kept in prison only about a year, and
during his Imprisonment he was treated
more like a guest than convict The
only reason the public knew for his be-
ing pardoned was hat he had rich and in
fiuential friends. The anti-administration
papers of Indiana commented upon the
pardon of Coffin with considerable bitter
ness, and there was much feeling among
the people of that state in respect 10 it,
1t is now freely said in Indiana that
the pardon of Coffin was not without it's
influence in bringing about the Ripley
county lynching. In other words, it is
held by some that the President rs partly
responsible for that lynching.
Those who have the power to pardon
at least some of them-do not seem to
realize that when they defeat the ends of
justice by giving convicts their liberty be-
fore they are entitled to 1t, and before the
public thinks they ought to have it, they
encourage lawlessness. They indirectly
lead the people to nfiict summary punish
ment upon those who commit heinous Of
lenses
We do not mean to say that the pardon
ing power is used corruptly or with indif-
ference as to whether or not evils will
flow from its use. We mean only that
those who exercise the pardoning power
do so often because they permit their
feelings 10 control their judgments or fail
TO fully appreciate the responsibility which
this power imposes upon them.

Tom Watson is still sore on Chairman
Jones of the democratic national commit
tee because of that alleged remark of the
chairmen's, that the populists should "go
with the niggers, where they belong" AS
we remember 1t, Chairman Jones denied
having made any such remark, and it was
clearly shown that he did not make it;
still Mr.. Watson prefers to think that he
did make it, and to deny him the benefit
of the doubt, Mr.. Watson is now sticking
pins in Chairman Jones for having opened
his mouth with regard TO New York poll
tics, and assumes that it was through the
chairman that the New York democrats
have waived the silver issue in their
municipal campaign. Jones is a team,
says Watson, and adds: But there are
others Watson probably regards him,

The Name and Fame of j. J. ingalls,

Some of the society people of Atchison
are telling an ingalls, story. which, though
undoubtedly untrue, loses none of its clev-
erness on that account, says the Kansas
City Journal One of the ingalls, girls,
who is alleged to be very choice of her
company and very proud of her father,
recently attended a semi-public dance. In
the course OF the evening she was ap-
preached by an Atchison young man, the
son of a grocery keeper, who had known
her from infancy, though not intimately.
He asked her for a dance, when she re-
piled as she drew back a little supercil-
iously:
Il think you are the son of our grocery
keeper but infer that you do not know
me. I am the daughter of the Hon. John
j. Ingalls,"
ingalls,? Ingalls?' musingly inquired
the young groceryman. Where have 1
heard that name before? Oh, yes. 1 re-

It may be doubted that the Cubans
would accept any scheme of autonomy
which new Spanish cabinet might sug-
gest or offer. The proffer of self-govern-
ment under Spanish supervision would be
an admission of weakness on the part of
the mother country, such as would be cal
culated TO encourage the islanders to hold
out longer in the hope of. securing COM
plete independence. II would seem that
if Spain is to win at all in Cuba. it must
be upon the scheme of the Canovas minis
