PROSPERITY.

The following extract is from a
speech Of John Wanamaker at the
banquet Of Business Mems League
in Philadelphia. Read what he
says about the Republican party
THE COUNTRY NOT PROSPEROUS:
"The country is not prosperous.
Since the outset Of the last Pres
ieential campaign the party, press
and political leaders, generally.
fixed the November election of 1896
as the date of the beginning of good
times. a full half of the year has
expired since the will of the Re
publican party was declared. Thus
far but one of the important issues
Of the campaign is nearing settle
ment, and hardly any noticeable
improvement Of the wretchrd times
is manifested. The tide will soon
set in strongly against the Repub
llcan party unless the depression of
business is alcrtcd. Idleness and
want breed bitter discon tent which
will never be overcome until there
are ample en nployments.
"The foes America has to fear
are not the sullen, savage Turks
nor the insurrectiouIsts Of Cuba nor
the territory grasping British, but
they are eur own patient and heart
tired people, our own suffering,
much-promised people, who, be-
trayed and dlsheartened, 40 longer
have faith in their party, and will
turn to any leadership that offers
promise Of better times, believing
that worse times can never come
than those now existing. 1t is a
terrible thing to observe public
sentiment adrift and unexplained
and the people sweeping away from
their affection to the old party.
"The young men are growing MP
indifferent TO Republican princi-
pies, with no respect for parties OF
broken platforms, who use national
and State patronage in payment Of
election contracts. The political

whereas, By general statute the thirtieth
day OF May of each year is made legal

The recent dedication of the magnificent

AN UNFORTUNATE BACKsEr.

It is to be regretted that the pioneer
beet sugar enterprise Of the North
west, the factory at Menominee Falls,
has encountered a serious disaster at
its beginning. After several years of
urging by a sugar beet enthusiast the
farmers in the vicinity Of the Falls had
entered into ten-year contracts with a
company that engaged to erect a plant.
to grow beets sufficient to employ the
factory during the converting season.
A plant costing some 100000 was put
in, and last year the farmers raised the
beets as agreed. Some unforeseen de-
lay occurred in completing the factory,
and it was not ready to begin when the
beets were ready, nor would it be until
after the freezing weather set in Some
$4,000 tons were delivered and were put
into pits and securely covered, with the
intention of opening the pits and work.
ing the beets as soon as spring opened.
Meantime the company asked the
farmers to defer payment until the
beets could be converted and money
obtained for the sugar.
Recently the pits were opened and
work begun. To the surprise Of the re-

flners the beets, that last fall tested 4
u per cent in saccharine matter. yield
ed less than per cent this spring. and,
after working up less than one Of the
fifteen pits, the company shut down,
as there was a loss In working beets Of
so low percentage. The remaining beets
are offered for sale for feed, but farm
ers are too busy to haul them, and
spring feed Is coming on in the pas
lures. The farmers are more concerned
in getting their pay for the beets. and
trouble has arisen in the management
Of the factory. Farmers refuse to plant
beets this season until payment for
last years crop Is secured, and very
promising enterprise promises to run
aground in its inception. This is to be
regretted on many grounds. 1t was the
pioneer, and it's outcome was awaited
both by farmers and capitalists, ready
to engage in the business If this one
proved successful. It's failure is a dis
tinct check for another year on these
it is unfortunate. The venture was
made by the men who put up the plant
as purely business one, dependent !
upon the estimated prospects OF profits
in the business itself, unaided by state
or federal bounties, directly or indi-
rectly given. After the plant was about
completed there was some talk of
state bounty, and the election indicat-
ed an increase Of the sugar tax, but it
Is hardly credible that either induced
the investment of the capital needed.
The state bounty was not voted, and
the Dingley bill is yet in the air. No
sane business man, with past expert
ence to enlighten him, would venture
his money in business dependent for
its profits on the success Of a political
party. The Menominee Falls enter
prise was therefore looked to to demon
strate that the raising of sugar beets
and their conversion into sugar is a
legitimate industry, offering sufficient
inducement Of profit to warrant the in
vestment of capital and the growing Of
the crop. 1t is this view Of the case
that makes the first years result there
matter of general regret, and it is to
be hoped that the company will sur
vive it's initial misfortune,

WOLF BoUNTIEs PAID.
The State Distributes Over SIS, 900
for the Scalps.

The State Distributes Over So, 1000
for the Scalps.
A large number of counties were
yesterday awarded their wolf beunties
from the state. The total amount paid
was larger than it will be, unless the
new law is repealed. Acting under
the authority given them by this, the
county commissioners of Otter Tail
and Cottonwood counties have an
nounced that they will pay no more
bounties, and other counties will follow
suit. The expenses of these bounties
under the old law was divided between
the county and the state, and it was
beginning to be an expensive affair.
Strangely enough to the uninitiated
some of the older counties, notably
Houston and Wabasha. come in for
much larger portion Of the bounty than
any Of the newer counties, where
wolves would naturally be expected to
abound. Houston county gets more
than four times the amount called for
by Aitkin, and at least three times as
much as any other county in the north
eastern part of the state. Otter Tail
comes in for over $500, and heads the
list in amount.
Executive Agent Fullerton says that
some way should be devised to en-
courage the killing of wolves in the
northeastern part Of the state, as they
killed more deer than all the hunters.
The total amount paid the several
counties is $5,530.44.
