County and City Official Paper.
TARDy RECOGNITION.

The return Of Ellis II. Roberts TO pub
lie life as treasurer OF the United States,
following upon the reelection OF Thomas
c. Piatt to the United States senate.
may be regarded as q taray vindication.
Mr.. Roberts was a very prominent man
In New York politics twenty-five years
ago. and was for several years congress
man from the Utica district. He was the
friend Of Roscoe Conkliug. and was cred
ited with having been his sponsor in poll
ties. He was the editor and proprietor
Of the leading Republican newspaper In
Central New York. aud was one of the
most brilliant in the gatherings of re-
markable men which made the state
power for so long.
In the Cosmopolitan for June Connery
refers TO the quarrel between Conkling
and Roberts which resulted In Mr.. Rob
erts' FeiegatIon 10 private llfc While
there is n little bitterness in the story
az told by the former managing editor
OF the New York Herald. IL must be con-
fesscd chat he is very near the truth in
his estimate of the weaknesses of Conk-
iing's character. II is no less true that
he falls TO DO justice 10 the greatness OF
Conkliug. 1t was Conking's misfortune
that he was impatient of regeneration.
When a policy WAS decided upon he ex-
pocted that Il would be followed. He
know that there could be no success
without concerted action. 1t irrtated
him. after a plan had been agreed upon.
10 have those who had been party to the
conclusion arrived at break away and
jeopartlizc the success OF the party by
disunion.
Ellis Roberts had been called to Maine
during the exciting greenbaek campaign
Of 1872 which Mr. blaine. as chairman
81 the state committee. directed and
which WAS the last to which he gave his
personal attention. 1t was while on that
tour that Roberts became intimate with
Blaine, ard there is no doubt was in
nGenced by him IN his subsequent course
Conkllne knew there could be no success
hy temporising with Blaine in the poll
ties IF the Empire state. That difference
81 opinion brought about breach be-
tween tofiAttN& ana tkUheflS Hhfch pre-
pared the way for the ultimate quarrel.
At enc time when Mr. Platt WAS con-
gresham lie was also disposed to make
overtures t. Blaine or to accept Blaine's
ovortures. bat later became convinced
t'Iat Il would be political mistake and
adhered 70 Coaki!ar's policy Il would
have been better for Mr. Platt personally.

The famous MacMonnies statue, which
raised such & rumpus In Boston and was
finally excluded from the public library,
has been accepted by New York. Claims
viii probably be made that the latter city
has a finer appreciation of real art than
the former but 1t will be recalled that
New York herself some years ago made
objections to a certain piece OF statuary
which WAS to be placed in Central park
and for about the same reasons as those
raised against MacMonnies' Bacchante.

Deals Involving Many Acres
of Land Held Up Pending
Congressional Action.
RECIPROCITY DECLARED
TOO ONE-SIDED.
With a Protective Tariff on Island
Sugar Capit aiists Would Invest
In Beet Sugar Plants.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 9-Executive off.
cials of some OF the railroads which run
through the Western beet-sugar belt are
anxious to get inside information relating
to the proposed annexation CT Hawaii. 1t
is estimated that deals involving over
10000 acres of sugar beet land are held up
pending Congressional action in the Ha-
waiian matter. II is said that at least
three of the great railroad corporations oil
the West will unite 10 fight Hawaiian an
nexation, on the ground that the admis-
sion of Hawaii into the United States will
operate seriously against the future deveI-
opment of the Deet-sugar industry in this
country.
The roads that are particularly inter
ested in this question have been working
for some time to locate beet sugar facto-
ries along their lines. The financial de-
preston checked this enterprise, but last
spring the industrial departments or the
roads started the beet sugar campaign
more vigorously than ever. Several large
deals were on the point of being closed
when the Hawaiian annexation issue
broke loose and all negotiations were i'm
mediatelv suspended, and now, 1t is said,
nothing will be done until Congress has
taken definite action in the matter.
Many Western Congressman, it is
claimed are opposed to the annexation OF
Hawaii because their constituents in Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah. South
Dakota, Wi consin, Minnesota and Texas
believe that farmers of certain portions of
those States cin raise sugar beets to ad.
vantage and with large profit.
The arguments used by the Western op-
ponents TO the annexation of Hawaii are
as follows: With Hawaii a part of the
United States its sugar will be admitted
free, as it is al present under the treaty.
If Hawaii is not annexed a protective
tariff can be placed on Hawaiian sugar,
and should be, because the reciprocity
treaty is foo one-sided. With a protec-
tive tariff on Hawaiian sugar capital.
lists will be willing 10 invest in beet sugar
plants. and the development of the indus
try would add hundreds of thousands of
tons to the annual tonnage of the West
ern roads.

Senator Jones of Ne
Vada Speaks of Plans
in California.
Extensive Operations on the
MaripoSa Grant Include
Building a Big Dam.
Although the Statesman Has Great
Faith In the klondike He Will
Not Invest There.
Special Dispatch to The CALL

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 9.-Senator
John P. Jones of Nevada has some large
scheme for developing his gold mines In
California. The Senator has made sc
much money out of his Douglas Island
N ines, in addition to that of the Comstock
and other properties, and seen fortunes
made by others ;hat he is convinced that
mining is about the most profitable of al
business.
He is now making arrangements to deve-
lop his many mines on the Ma riposa
rant. At the Hoffman House tonight
Senator Jones gave to THE CALL corre-
spondent some details of his plans. He
says that when he and his millionaire
associates get to work they will push
things with great energy. The work is to
start very shortly.
I'VE own a stretch of country in Mari
posa County some twenty mites long,
said the Senator, land we are Just now
getting everything in shape 10 do big
work there. A big dam will be bu 1t in
Merced River 10 furnish, II needed, pow yer
for running the varied machinery. We
will go in and go in big. There is no use
taking hold of a proposition OF that kind
unless it is done right. We have been
getting in shape to do it right.
There are q great many mining prop
critics on the Mariposa grant. some OF
which we think are big. You have heard
that the Roth childs are interested with
US up there. They own a one-eighrh in
terest. Mr.. Mackay also owns an eighth.
while myself and friends own the rest.
We expect to begin almost Immediately to
build the dam. The development of the
properly, the handling of the ore and
everything connected with the project will
be carried on on an extensive scale.
Il have not invested any in the Klon.
dixie but think The mine, there are areat
and destined TO cut Great figure in The
worlds product OF gold. l am surpr ssd
that the San Francisco papers rather
underestimate them. Why, Il was the
discovery OF gold there that imm diateiy
improved times on the Pacific Coast /
nave watched the Klondike closely. There
are three times as much gold there as
there is in al of California and Australia.
Take hem both together and they haven't
got as much.
There will be great camps up there,
ard extensive railroad systems with ali
that usually goes with them. LIS a good
country to build railroads in. There are
no high passe> in the Yukon country
proper, and the Yukon River is $500 miles
long. 1t certainly furnishes a great field
for gold mining and myriad of other
industries.
we will get to work on our Mariposa
