The Beet Sugar Boom.

The Mckinley Administration is
making great efforts to boom the best
sugar industry. The farmers are be-
ing urged to plant the sugar beet, and
free seed is offered to all who wish to
experiment with it. AS the Agricul-
tural Department has received some
tons of this seed from certain sugar
factories, the free distribution OF it is
certainly cheap method of persuad-
ing the farmers that they are on the
eve of a wave of prosperity if they
will cultivate the sugar beet.
A text book on the sugar industry,
with special reference to beet sugar,
just published by the Orange Judd
Company, of New York, shows that the
beet sugar industry might be most
profitable one for the United States. 1t
gives a most aIluring picture of the
beet growing, the beet sugar factories,
ard the profits now made. According
to it. nearly the entire area Of the Uni
ted States is adapted TO this crop, and
we could easily supply the home mark

Jno. Gallaher made trip to Dent

P. D. Hartman of Belleview was In

but owing to some difference in the
time. he withdrew his application. J.

preferred to see Republican electet
rather than to reward a man who de
serted the national ticket last Fall.
In Michigan true Democracy carried
the day. Detroit elected a Democratic
Mayor, repudiating the candidate O
Pingree. The Democrats who long
upheld Mayor PIngree, though he wa:
a Republican, because of his broad
and effective views upon the manage.
ment of municipal mouopolies, have
abandoned him this month because ol
his alliance with the party dominated
by Mark Hanna, and because of his
cowardice in deserting the financial
principles of his lifetime in his effort
last Fall to secure a Gubernatorial
election at any price. The Democrats
of Detroit deserve well of the national
party.
Most of all, the result in Chicago
has important bearing upon the poll
tics OF the nation. A great city. which
gave Mckinley $4,000 plurality, has
now elected as Mayor, by plurality
almost as great. Democrat who was
president of the Bryan and Sewall
League. a delegate to the Chicago con-
vention who voted for Bryan, an edi-
itor of one of the first city newspapers
in the United States to advance the
principles of what has been termed in
later days Organism" Mr.. Carter
Harrison is a fair type of the new
Democracy, and his election in city
which has been loudly proclaimed re-
liaoly Republican, is an object lesson
to public men in other towns who seek
to feel the pulse of the people. In
deed our erudite contemporary, the
San, expressed, in advance, the situa-
tion quite correctly when it said yes
terday:
The main importance of the election
< lies in the fact that Harrison
represents the Organism of Chicago.
and his candidacy brings to the front
the issues of the last national cam
paign.
If. then, Harrison should be elected,
the political consequences might be
grave and far reaching. In the first
considerable election since the defeat
of Bryan last November the silver
Democrats would demonstrate their
and the result would be
likely to have powerful influence IN
the course of next Aut-
umn's campaign in the Greater New
York. It would tend to stimulate and
the opposition to the plan of
nominating gold Democrat, which
has already sprung up in Tammany
Hall. 1t might even assure Tammany s
persistent and outspoken adhesion to
Organism. Therein lies the great i'm
portance of to-day's election at Chicago.
The Journal for its part dlscerns in
The results of the election of the past
three weeks only reason for Demo-
cratic encouragement. They give
clear indication of popular revolt
against the policy of the Mckinley
Administration. They give every
promise of complete Democratic sue
cess if the voters of the party of the
people will give adhesion to the Dem
ocratic principle, in and out of the
party organization, that the majority
shall rule.-N 7. Journal.

Confidence.

The sales of zinc ore in the Joplin,
Mo-. district last week were thirtytwo
carloads more than for the correspond
ing week last year. This is confidence.
Poplar Bluff Republican, April 18th.
We quote below from the Republic of
the 10Th inst:
Joplin. Mo-, April 18.-There was
a falling off in the shipment of zinc
ore the past week of 35 carloads, ow-
ing 60 fall of 81 per ton in the price. .
Is that confidence?
Again:
The highest price paid was 5000
for two carloads of Oronogo. Com
pared with the corresponding week of
1896, the sale of zince ore was one car
greater. The price then was $23 per
ton"
Have you got the cheek to call that
confidence, too?

Resolutions of Respect.

A meeting of the Iron county bar
was held during the session of the Cir
cult Court at the courthouse Monday
afternoon for the purpose of appoint
/ ing committee to draft resolutions OF
respect in reference to the late j. b.
Walker aud r. F. Wingate and take
such other action as might be deemed
appropriate. Judge Green appointed
w. 4. Edgar, Louis F. Dining and D..
L. Rivers as members of said commit
| tee. The committee filed its report
| Tuesday afternoon and resolutions of
respect sacred to the memory OF Mr..
Walker and Gen. Wingate were unan-
imously adopted. Appropriate re-
marks were made by different members
of the bar, touching the life and work
of the deceased members. 1t was ex-
plaiued that the delay in taking action
relative to the death of Mr.. Walker
was owing to the fact that the case re-
sulting from the tragedy in which Mr..
Walker lost his life had but lately
been determined in this court and it
had not been deemed appropriate or
advisable for the bar to act pending
the result of the prosecution. Follow
ing are the resolutions adopted:
WHEREAS, Joseph B. Walker, a
member of this bar, has been stricken
down by the hand of death in the vigor
and Iustre of his young manhood, ere
he had reached the zenith of his pow
ers and attachments, and
WHEREAS. it is proper that we, who
survive him at this bar, should make
some testimonial of record, of the es-
TEEN in which he was held. There
fore, be it
ReSoEUed, that in the sad and untime-
ly death of our brother, Joseph b.
Walker, stricken as he was in the very
bloom and blossom of his life. the bar
has lost valued member, and this
Court a most excellent and efficient Of
fcer. His talents won the highest
respect; and while we mourn him as
a valued friend, admired for his many
qualities of mind aud heart, we can
but express that deep regret which the
manly feel when one who was an hon
orable opponent in the strifes of life |
''lies down in the last sleep"
Take him all in all, with character
lSGlSSs AWFUL
and gifts, our late friend and confrere
was a man whose death must bring |
of regret among all who
knew him.
ResolUed, further, that these resolu-
tions be presented to the Honorable |
Circuit Court of Iron county, and that
said Court be requested to set apart a
page of the records thereof, and have
the same inscribed to the memory of
our deceased friend and brother ,aud be
it again further
ResoEUed, that copy of these reso-
lutions be furnished for publication to
the newspapers of Iron county.

tude towards others. In temperance,
we include self-control, abstinence.
self-denial. and moral courage.
At a recent convention of the W. C.
T. L., our president. Miss Frances Will
lard. declared her belief that every
year there is a gradual decline IN the
consumption of intoxicants. She said:
'.steam and electricity, machinery. and
invention have put level heads at a
premium" She also declares the bicy-
Gle to be the most influential reformer
of the age. Miss Willard is, no doubt
correct. Mans faculties needs to be
nowadays, at their clearest and best.
1t is pleasant to observe an earnest re-
former, who does not think the world
is going backward.
Miss Willard has recently been wag-
ing war 'gainst the soda fountain.
This may seem to many, the extreme
of temperance, yet Miss Willard finds
on investigation, that girls and young
men indulge in ''Just a soda with a
stick in it," 10 the initiated, this
means, no doubt, a mixture that is any
thing but mild in taste or effect.
1t is said that the saloon bill of
Cleveland, Ohio. in 1895 was over
50, 900, 900. OF the 7.400 arrest made.
6OOO were for drunkenness.
A man in Michigan who had accu-
mulated $4,000 by selling whiskey,
gambling and other infamous work,
bequeathed his estate to the W. G. L.
T., an organization he had bitterly
hated. All the money and property OF
all the brewers and dealers on earth,
if returned to the people, would not re-
compense society and individuals for
the worlds losses and sorrows.
The members of the St. Louis W. c.
T. L. gave banquet, few days ago.
to their friends and sympathizers, in
honor of the anniversary of the birth
of Neal Dow, the author of the Maine
prohihitory law. 1t was right that his
93d birthday should be the occasion of
much rejoicing among the people he
had so we'll served. Among the be-
levers in total abstinence, Neal Dow
is known as. the "grand old man."
