Mr.. Havemeyer in February gave the
actual figures Of the sugar trust profits.
The investment, at least the supposed
investment, was s24, ola. COS in 1890. In
1856 the profit was 500. 1856. 1856 ; in 1888
the profits reached $40. s74. l66. and for
ten years the average profit has been
s37, 600. 009, or 100 per cent per annum
upon the investment. Mr.. Havemeyer
admits that the sos, 900, 900 of present
stock represents less than $40. 900. 900
actually invested. That company, with
an investment Of perhaps sl5. 900, 900.
seems to be stronger than the Govern
ment of the United States. Even when
Mr.. Cleveland was ~denouncing ell pro-
~tective tariffs, he thought 9 small tariff
on sugar might be a good thing. Con-
crosses and Presidents lie down before
the awful power Of that corporation.

than all the arguments originally ad-
vanced by the advocates of this plan
could accomplish. Those arguments, in.

Of them were absurd. The recent dis
creditsble and demoralizing wrangles,
however, furnish reasons for q change Of
election methods which are obvious and
urgent. Conventions would not choose
better candidates for Senator than Legis.

A TERM OF

Bryan, of course, is the logical eandi-
date of the Democracy for the campaign
of 1900. He is apparently determined
that the people shall not forget that fact
either, and is pursuing much the same
course as Cleveland did between terms,
only he is making speeches, wheSas
Cleveland wrote letters. Whether Bry-
ans candidacy next time shall do him
and his party any more good than it did
them last time will depend upon whether
Mckinley and his party prove able to
keep their promises of prosperity. The
immediate wave" that was to follow
McKinley's election has not yet arrived,
and no matter what Mckinley and his
party may do, it is not impossible that
circumstances may preclude its arrival.
In that case, the voters would consider
Bryan & Co. entitled to a chance to show
what they could do and there would be
another landslide. The problem for Nc.
Kinley is q very simple one to solve. and
he has eliminated possible complications
from it by letting the people know that
his policy toward Cuba and foreign pol
icy in general will be one Of non-inter-
ference. All he has to do, within in the
next three and one-helf years lie to make
the country prosperous and convince the
mnsses Of the people in 1900 that they
are much better off than they were in
1896. That done it will hardly be worth
the Democraoy's while to nominate any
body. Otherwise, Mr.. Bryan will have

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.

The New York authorities recently
adopted a system Of medical examination
and Of hygienic regulation for the public
schools. The result is that q very large
percentage Of the public school children
are found in such Q condition of health as
to endsnger the health Of others. 1t is
found, too, that a less proportion of chill.
dren from the poor quarters are afflicted
than from the well-to-do. This matter
Of possible disease among children is
what makes the public school q terror to
parents. No personal foresight on the
part Of the parent can protect the child
from the diseases which may afiict the
children Of careless parents, and the dan.
ger 10 90 great that many parents shrink
from sending their children to the public
schools altogether. Disease is not the
only thing dreaded. People who will
not keep their cellars and back yards
clean will not be careful about keeping
their children or the clothing Of their
children clean. This city should give
the City Physician particular inssruc-
tions to see TO the public schools, and
pay him for his work. says the Salt Lake
Tribune. The public schools are one Of the
safeguards Of the country ; they should
draw 10 them the children OF all classes.

Michigan was about the only State in
which the voting machines were again
given . trial in the recent elections, and
the results have been not only more sat
isfaotory than were obtained in former
trials, but are reported to have met every
expectation. This measure Of success is
due In large part TO the elimination of
Objectionable features and to the perfect
ing Of the features retained. In the city

proximate figures were given, but that

A Market for Them Can BE Found
I'm Japan.

There is every probability that owners
Of range horses could find 9 ready market
for them in Japan. Horses are scarce In
that country and in consequence are IN
demand at good prices. Since the close
Of the Chino-Jspsnese war, the japanese
Government has been recognizing its
army. Heretofore only . small cavalry
company force has been maintained, but 1t
q now believed that this will be greatly
increased.
Even the small range animals Of Austria
liz have been considered, and it is said
that they are far inferior 10 the range hor-
ses Of the Western mountain States. Iti
said that japanese residents Of San Fran
cisco are looking about with 9 view OF sup
plying the needs Of their Government.
President T~etsutrao Aoiks, OF the Yoke
hsmo Specie bank, Of San Francisco, says:
undoubtedly the American horse will fill
al requirements.
1.-THE horse most suitable for the Japan
ese cavalry" he said, should be ss tough
Is rawhide, not over gentle and not too
dainty in the matter Of fodder. i would
unhssitatipgly say that the best horses for
the home Government could be selected
from herds that thrive so well on the plains
of Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon,
California and the other mountain States.
Il only remains for those most interested
10 bring tbs matter properly before the
Japanese Government to open up q big
market for their animals"
This is q scheme for getting rid Of the
range horses OF Nevada, worth looking
into. II is better than killing them for
their hides and tsllow, and beats canning
them.
Japan is not the only country whers Q
market could be found. The Chipese En-
pire. also the Corean country would afford
Q great field for the operations, as horses
are scarce in all OF these Eastern countries.
II would pay some Of our Nevada range
owners to look into the matter even II an
agent had to be employed for the purpose.
Every few days an item appears in the
papers, where some one has taken g car
load Of horses to New Orleans or some
southern poin, and disposed of them at q
loss. II the same capital was used in look.
ing up the Chinese agents in San Fran

or Japan, an opportunity might be found
Of disposing OF thousands of horses ct a

An OBJECT LESSON.

Suppose the people who deposited their
hard-esrned savings in the collapsed
Globe Savings Bank had been enabled to
deposit their money in . postal savings
bank under Federal control. Suppose,
says the Chicago Record, instead Of plsc-
ing their earnings in the hands Of private
individuals who had not the skill or the
principle to guard them at every point,
they had to-day the knowledge that. no
matter what local disturbance may have
troubled the national government, their
savings were absolutely secure, and would
be returned to them Immediately on the
presentation Of their proofs that they
were depositors. Would those deposit
tors now be fighting for the maintenance
Of their rights and meekly asking for the
return Of evsn 9 part Of their deposits?
No. They would be going on just as
before. saving their money and deposit
ing it in the Golfers Of Uncle Sam. They
would have the absolute assurance that
no matter what Encouragement might
occur in Q given branch Of the system,
the government stood security for their
deposits, and that no agency not suffci-
emily powerful to destroy the govern
ment itself could deprive them Of a dol
lar Of their savings.
If the people are to be encouraged to
be frugal and contented let them have
some sure means Of saving their money
some plan by which each depositor can
rest assured that no reckless banking
methods, no amount Of dishonesty and
no juggling with trust funds can deprive
him Of his property. Without some such
system people who would prefer to be
saving and thrifty are surely going to be
discouraged.
