City Council In appointing a tax collector
and the thorough and efficient manner
in which chat officer, Mr.. j. p. Coon, has
discharged his duties was the means OF
collecting $l25,000 of the taxes for 1895,
which contributed in no small degree to-
wards enabling the city to paylits floating
Indebtedness and placing the treasurer
ina position to cash all city warrants on
presentation. While in the case OF the
two officers above mentioned much praise
is due, it must also be remembered that
all the officers in the city government,
from the mayor and Council down, have
done their part in helping TO bring about
such a gratifying condition of "a fairs.
The advice Of the mayor to the Conncil.to
practice rigid economy and the effort of
the Council In that direction are all in
the line with demands of the times and
the needs of the municipality, and that
the city should be able to pay It's semi
annual interest without trouble and all
warrants on presentation to the treas
urer is a matter for general congratula-
ton. On the whole the report is most
gratifying one, showing as itdoes not only
healthy financial condition of the city
government, but also that the taxpayer
must be comparatively prosperous in or
der to meet these payments rs promptly
as they have done. 1t shows too that in
spite OF all disadvantages the Magic. City
is still full of life and vigor, with bright
and promising future before it.

SUGAR PRODUCTION.

The recommendation of Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson that the farmers of
this country experiment in sugar beet
culture with the view of enabling the peo-
pie Of the United States to raise their own
sugar instead of paying annually $780,
600, 900 for the foreign product, has al
ready resulted in greatly increasing the
number of beet-growers, and if these ex-
periments are successful,as there is every
reason to believe they will be in many of
the States of the Union, it will not be
long before all the sugar consumed in
this country will be produced here, with,
possibly, large surplus for exportat' on.
In California and Nebraska considera-
BILE progress has already been made in
raising sugar beets, and factories for
making sugar have already been erected
in both of these States. A California pa
per in a recent issue estimates the num-
Der of acres in that State suitable for the
production of sugar at ,25O, 900 and the
possible production at 1851 $50, 900
pounds. During the year ended June,
1S95,it is stated that 1874, $40, 454 pounds
of sugar were imported into the United
States, with value of SIG, 1852, 1886, and
the article concludes that ''under favora-
BILE legislation California could have pro-
duced this suga~, and nearly $50, 900, 600,
instead of being sent abroad, would be
distributed among the farmers of this
State.''
If California can do this, it is evident
that all of the other States of the Union
could do great deal more; hence it is
easy to see that under favorable condi-
lions this country would soon become the
greatest sugar producing nation on earth.
While the beet growers are contending
for protection, it is generally believed
that the sugar producers are making fair
profits as it is, which opinion seems to
he borne out by the fact that new fac.
tory is being built near Los Angeles, and
that there is now scheme on foot for
erecting in Salinas Valley, Monterey
county, California. what it is said will be
the largest sugar factory in the world. 1t
Is stated that when finished it will crush
daily over 5000 tons of beets and pro.
.duce 100000 pounds of sugar, which
would be $50 tons more than the capacity
of all the existing factories in California.
From these statements the outlook for
the sugar industry in California and the
rest of the country is very bright. Vir-
ginia farmers ought to push their expert
ments, as, Judging by the superior quail
ity of the water melons and sweet pota.
tues raised here, the saccharine qualities
of the soil are equal to those of any other
State.

A NON-OFFICE HOLDING oRGANI
ZATION.

Tho bane of this country, and particu-
larly of its municipal governments, is the
rule OF political rings and the dictation
OF party bosses. This evil has been car.
ried to such an extreme that the people in
many cities have been compelled to rise
n their might and sternly rebuke the
men who make fticeseeking u profession
and dictate to their respective parties the
men who are to be supported by their
votes Even when these pothouse politi-
clans and ward bummers have been dis
placed by an outraged public, it is not
long before other rings are found and old
and nav bosses appear ready to re-enact
the same role at the first opportunity,
and unless the reformers are viglant and
untiring in their efforts 10 keep them
down. they soon regain the cort-ol which
has been temporarily lost and become as
bold and disgusting in their manipulation
as ever.
In many cities, counties and even
States, however, ring rule and the domi-
nation of bosses is such strong political
force that the best and ahlest men cease
to take any interest in politics and leave
all such matters entirely to the manage
ment of the machine, which not only ns.
pires to rule in its own State, but, as has
often happened in the history of this
country, by combination of bosses even
presumes to dictate the nomination of n
President, with the assurance in cage of
his election that the distribution of Fed
eral patronage will be virtually in their
hands. This was notably the case in the
Conkling, Logan and Cameron cor bina.

General Grant for n third term, and like

Candidate Eilyson recently stated at a
public meeting in Richmond that if his
home city would stand by him he would
return from the Roanoke convention the
candidate of the Democratic party for the
office of governor of Virginia. When a
man has to make such an appeal to those
who rub up against him every day in or
der to get their help, when his opponent
lives two hundred and fifty miles away,
he must have very shaky feeling in his
boots. To make such an appeal must
have been very humiliating to high
strung gentleman of Mr.. Ellysons acute
sensibilities. Tyler did not have to make
such an appeal to the people of Radford.

A GRATIFYING EXHIBIT.

The mayors report of the financial
condition of the city, a synopsis of which
was published in The Times of Saturday
last, is most gratifying exhibit Of pro-
gress under adverse circumstances, and
is highly creditable to those in charge of
the city government. When it is remer:-
bered that this report, compared with
that of the year 1898, shows saving of
S36, 900 per annum for fixed charges
alone, the wonder is how so much could
DC effected in n period of General depres-
sion and business stagnation as is still
prevailing. A little insight, however,
into some of the causes contributing to-
wards this improvement in the financial
condition of the city will help consider
ably to elucidate the matter, and at the
same time show whcre much of the credit
is due. The indefatigable labors of Com
missioner of Revenue Pattie in searching

While this has been the political condi-

ship in the organization and leave his fell
low Democrats to decide as to his fit.
fI,a 80 til,
Such an organization as this, having no
iron clad rules and demanding no pledges
of its members, but. working unselfishly
for the best interests of the Democratic
party, might if started in the right way
enlist the sypathy and cooperation of a
large GLASS of most. excellent citizens and
good Democrats, who are sincere in an
earnest desire to have pure Democratic
doctrine prevail, but who now take little
or no interest in party affairs, having be-
come indifferent, not to say Disguised,
with the way the party has been handled
and manipulated in this city. When n
party is lowered to the level of the saloon
and used by selfish job hunters, and that
guise, it cannot hope to receive the coun-
tenance and support OF that sturdy, sober,
conservative, upright and manly element
that IS at all times the stay..a and hope of
every community. Such men are not
Democrats merely to crafty their per-
sonal ambition, and they will be found
sustaining, by their votes and voices,
true Democratic doctrines long after some
of those who are loud in their declara-
tions of party tealty, and who, when the
opportunity Offers, will not hesitate to
degrade the party to promote their per-
sonal interests, will he found in the ranks
of other parties. battling for spoils.
There is great work here in Roanoke for
such an organization, and the sooner it is
formed and gets into working shape the
better it will be for the affairs of the civ
and for the strength and efficiency of the
Democratic party.
