formed is very small, probably not

The Pine Bluff Goomercial is ready to rip-saw into almost indivisi- ble lines any one who assaults any member of the American Senate, either as caution or criticism, be- cause there is possible pap for its apparent servile truculence. No combine or supposed combine must be fought. The Senate, whether true or not as to some of it's mem bers, stands indicted at the bar of public opinion with at least winking at trusts, so far that the humorous papers now never make a jest at the expense of the Senate without dub ping the Senator aSorgum Sena- tor.'

TIE Republicans are claiming the credit for the high prices of agricultural products. Are the abundance of crops in this country and the grain famines In Europe due to the Dingley bill? There are peo- pie in these parts who believe that such condition is brought about by Providence, and not by protec- ton. And then, too, high prices are not an nnmixed blessing. It depends on whether one is buying or selling.

EASTER MORNING.

The season Of Lent has passed and Eas-
ter morning has come. A risen Lord pro-
claims the triumph over death and the
grave, and the world is filed with hope
and joy. This earth would ne dark and
gloomy, indeed, without the comforting
assurances of the Christian religion.
Sorrow and despair would reign where
peace and happiness now abide, and men
without any benign influences to control
them would soon fall into the vortex of
sin and shame. San indeed would be the
lives of men if they CROPPED in uncer-
tainty here below without tho knowledge
that behind all the changing fortunes of
this life there is Just God, who not only
presides over the destinies of nations, but
makes even the sparrows fall. Without
the glores of the Easter morn there
would be naught to live or to hope for.
The Saviour of mankind, however, has
Invested death of it's terrors to all that
believe and are resolved. to sin no more.
and though nearly eighteen centuries
have passed since He walked among men,
the good seeds sown by him have borne an
abundant fruitage of blessings to the hui
man race, while millions upon millions of
good men and women are proclaiming the
truths of the religion he bequeathed. Sa-
tan and sin, though still powerful, are no
longer VIII ely triumphant; for the follow
ers of Christ. relying implicitly upon the
promises He has made, are battling nobly
for His cause and filling the earth with
hope and love.

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

The efforts of the Department of Apri-
culture to introduce sugar beet culture
in the United States shows that tho Gov
eminent Is at last waking up to the i'm.
portance of developing this i'm portant in
terest. The low price of wheat and
other products of the farm has been
fearful drawback to the agricultural in
terests of the country for years, and MS
the making of our own sugar means the
keeping of hundreds of millions of dol
lars at home; besides opening new
source of revenue to the farm, every en-
enlargement possible should be given 10
tile cultivation of the sugar beet.
There Is no reason, apparently, why
beets rich in saccharine material should
not be raised in many sections of this
country, and as the efforts of Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, to encourage experiments along this
line proves that he realizes the i'm port
ance of the matter, there is every reason
to hope that the experiments which will
he made this year will prove entirely sue

capital in the banks of the country await
ing safe investments, and, when once the
owners become satisfied that the United
States can make it's own sugar, there will
be no lack of money to erect factories and
otherwise aid in the development of this
all important industry
The only danger in this respect is that.
when once the minds of the people are
set in the direction of sugar beet raising.
Ignorant and irresponsible parties will
take hold of the movement, and by spec
ulation and overestimates render all the
efforts of the government abortive. There
have been any number of "craZes' in the
history of this country where failure re-
suited from ignorance of the conditions
essential to success, as was notably the
case in the silk raising mania fifty years
ago. The sugar.beet has reached it per-
lection only after years of careful cultiva-
ton and experiment, us the know ledge
essential to sugar making can not be ac-
qured i'll week or II month. Hence. it
is very important that the farmers should
watch the results of the plans set on foot
by Secretary Wilson, and calmly avail.
the results before jumping pell-mell into
the business of beet raising and sugar
making.
In France and Germany the most salts
factory results have been attained i'm
sugar beet culture, and there is no reason
why the people of this country shold not
he equally successful, if they do MT allow
themselves to he mslead by inexperienced
enthusiasts or designing men who have
only temporary end in view.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

In the days of Thomas j efferson, the
man who pronounced in favor of rule of
the people by the people, who believed
that those who are least governed are
best governed, who believed i'll the prn-
ciple OF the greatest good to the great
-est number irrespective of conditions or
environmentsa and who opposed all sorts of
special privileges to the few at the ex-
pese of the many--in those days when
the giants of the new republic tread the
earth, such declaration stamped man
as Democrat from heart to head But
Jefferson and the giants are dead and
turned to clay We are now told by the
modern exponent of Democracy that JEFF
erson's test was bosh and That the true
test is this; Place your right hand on
your left breast, shift your quid to the
