AN UNwIsE POLICE RULE.

Nothing is so detrimental to the
efficiency of the public service as
favoritism and every appearance of it
should be avoided. 1t begets a sense
of injustice and a sense of injustice
begets a spirit Of discomfort. That
which prompts these remarks is the
manner in which the shifts on the
police force are divided. There are
three shifts, beginning at Z a. m. and
lasting until 8 p. m; from p. m. I'M
til II p. M, and from II p. m. until
g. m. The present rule in the de-
partment is to keep the men on the
different shifts on them continuously
and on the same beats instead of ro-
tating the men every month on the
shifts and on the beats. The arrange
ment has the look of favoritism about
it. What is known as the grave
yard shift" from II p. m. until a.
m. is by far the least desirable, and
it is safe to say that there is not a
man on it who would not be very glad
to be transferred to either Of the
other shifts: and it is equally as safe
to say that there is not a man on
either OIL the QUIET lWO SlAi1lS Jul
would dislike to be transferred to it.
That being the case, it must be evil
dent that there is an unfairness to
the men on the force in the arrange
ment, though we have no intention to
intimate that those who made the ar
rangement had any desire to be I'M
fair, but it does tend to beget a feel
ing among the men that there is
favoritism in the department. This
should not be because it begets
jealousies and animosities whose only
effect can be to seriously affect the
morale of the force.
These comments have been made not
to carp at the department nor to en-
barrass, in any way, the heads Of it,
but merely to call attention to what
is obviously an unwise rule, the
abolition of which would inure to the
benefit of the public interests.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

1t is quite evident that the next great
industrial development in the United
States will be in the beet sugar indus
try. Various states are taking the
matter up. A bill has been introduced
in the New Jersey legislature to pro-
mote the beet sugar industry in that
state. while a bill of similar nature
has lust passed the Michigan legisla-
ture.
This bill provides that there shall be
paid out of the state treasury to any
person, firm. or corporation engaged in
the manufacture of sugar from sugar
beets grown in Michigan, the sum of
1 cent a pound for each and every
pound of sugar made, under the re-
strictions provided. But no money is
to be paid unless the sugar is made
from beets grown in Michigan and I'M
less the sugar shall contain at least
80 per cent of crystaIlized sugar; the
manufacturer is required to produce
coed and sufficient receipts and vouch-
ers to show that at least 81 a ton has
been paid for all beets containing u
per cent of sugar, that being the basis
of valuation. The quantity and quail
ity of sugar on which bounty is to be
paid is to be determined by the COM
missioner of the state land Office, with
whom all claimants will be required to
file verified statements showing the
quantity, quality manufactured and
the price paid to the producer of the
beets.
AT each sugar factory There is to be
a resident weighmaster and inspector
where the output reaches or exceeds |
1000 pounds a day, whose duty it shall,
be to weigh all beets received by the |
factory and keep true account of |
beets received, make test of the quail |
ity of the sugar manufactured, etc.

Is GETTING NERVOUS


The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record says that Presi-
dent Mckinley is evidently somewhat
nervous about the effect of the Dingley
bill upon the future of the Republican
party. 1t is said he has spoken to
several callers upon the subject, but
has been very cautious in his criticism,
and that what he has said has been
more in the way of inquiry than COM
ment. 1t is further said that one day
last week the president asked a mem
Der of the house whether the people in
his part of the country thought the
duties too high, to which he promptly
responded: Most decidedly" When
asked if he had talked with Dingley
about it, he replied: Yes, but you
might as well talk to stone"
All that means a great deal. It
makes it evident that the president has
in mind the fate that overlook his
party in 1892 as the result of the tariff
law of 1890, the one that bore his name.
The Dingley bill is but a repetition of
the Mckinley bill save where it is an
NtACA VI II, anu lLlS ldcI III
Vites repetition of history, which in
this case would mean the defeat of the
republican party in $685.
OF course the president is anxious to
know what the opinion of the country
is regarding the bill that is to make
or mar his administration; it is the
basket in which he is practically carry
ing all his eggs. This being so, it is
small wonder that he is more or less
nervous over it. Already it has been
demonstrated that the bill runs counter
to the enlightened sentiment of the
country in so far as it attempted to
place tariff on ideas and the means
OF extending education So strong was
THIS sentiment that the Republican
members of the ways and means COM
mlttee were forced to bring in amend
ments taking the proposed tariff off
IDEAS and the means. of extending edu-
cation. Here, then, was "a serious
preach made in the bill even before it
mad passed through one house of con-
gress. Naturally, the result is to make
its supporters dubious and to encour-
age its enemies. A breach having been
made so easily in one place, there is no
telling when and where another one
may be made. The truth is that the
Dingley bill has reached its present
stage very largely as a bluff pure and
simple; and it is not in the nature of a
bluff to beget confidence in those who
run it.
1t is not stated whether the represen-
tative of whom the president inquired
as to the sentiment of his part of the
country towards the bill was a Repub-
lican or a Democrat, but presumably |
he was a Republican. When a Repub- /
lican says tariff rates are too high, it /
may well cause the president to be a
little bit nervous about bill on which /
he is building so many hopes. 1t is |
rarely safe for an administration to
abandon the issue on which it was
elected so soon as it is placed in power,
and take up with another one. This is
what President Mckinley has done.

1t may be an ignoble comparison
but war talk in Europe has come to
take about the same place that
everybody believes it is all talk, though
a "mill' was pulled off, in Nevada
week or so ago. And as a mill was
pulled off" in Nevada, so there may
some day be war pulled off, be-
tween two or more European powers.
For few weeks past it has looked as
though the Cretan uprising and the
attitude of Greece towards it might
lead to a war; but it has not nor is it
likely to. The latest news from Lon
don is that the war cloud is settling
down over South Africa in the region
of the Transvaal. That is very good
place for it to settle, as the atmos-
pheric conditions there are favorable
to precipitation of something from
the war cloud
The story goes that England is to
send 10000 soldiers to South Africa,
and that already the regiments to go
have been selected and ordered to get
ready. The purpose of the expedition
is to settle accounts with Dom Paul.
But behind Dom Paul there is said to
stand the war lord of Germany, who
seems to delight in playing all sorts
of tricks upon his grandmother. That
which spreads the air of doubt over
all this is the fact that the expedition
is not to be forwarded until after the
Of the queens jubilee. Still,
it serves the purpose of keeping the
European war rumors alive.

The output of each plant must be I'M
der the direction of the weighmaster
and inspector and placed by them in
original packages, properly branded,
so as TO show the quantity and quality
of the contents of each package and
file an accurate account with the land
commissioner. The compensation and
fees of the weighmaster and inspector
are fixed at one-eighth of a cent a
pound for sugar examined but it is not
to exceed IS a day. All the expenses
inspector are to be borne by the sugar
plants.
Already there is talk of erecting two
sugar factories in the state If they
are erected it will be interesting to
watch what success they will have. 1t
would be the wiser plan to erect one
factory at first because the beet sugar
industry may not be adapted to Mich
igan- Ample means is not the only
requisite to make a success of beet
sugar manufacture. There must be
economy, caution, a making of haste
slowly. If there is not, failure is far
more likely to be scored than a sue
cess. The great success of the Lehi
factory has been owing in large meas
ure to the policy of economy and con-
servatism there pursued. The factory
there is now scoring another success
in raising beet seed and in the near
future it is confidently expected that
enough seed will be raised to make
its export from the state an important
business. Success to the beet sugar
industry everywhere in the United
States.

You bend them again as lightly
And note no sign.
