BEET SUGAR IN GERMANY.
A Shortage In the Crop of $50. .O(
Tons.


Tons.
A deficit In the German beet sugar crop
OF at least $4,000 tons is figured upon by
United States Consul Dtederioh. at Madge-
burg. He says that the backward season
resulted in small. deficient beets. Many
manufacturers have sold fully one-half of
their last years product at very low prices
before they realized that there would be q
shortage in material, and the end Of No
vember found number of factories closed
on account Of the difficulty in getting that
material. All the old stocks Of sugar in
Europe having run low, the market has
been stronger for some time. with upward
prices.
The estimate Of tho beet sugar crop for
the world, accepted in German as accurate
Is 4, ,77557S tons, Germany leading with
1,847, ,018 tons and Cuba being set down as
producing 100000 tons. against 2,6S7 ,571 tons
in the previous season.

GOVERNMENT OF HAWAII.
Objections to the Bill to Be Reported
to the House Committee

The minority report of the subcommittee
on territories of the House, having charge
of the Hawaiian bill, has been prepared by
Delegate Ferguson of New Mexico. The re-
port says the minority is unable to agree TO
some prominent features Of the bill as in
troduced and as approved by the majority
of the subcommittee, and continues: 1T Is
important to emphasize the fact that new
territory, as acquired, should be governed,
as other territories of the United States
have been from the foundation of the gov
ernment, with the view to ultimate admis-
sion to statehood. Upon this theory we be-
lieve that Hawaii should be given substan-
tally the same form of government as has
been in other territories of the United
States and the Importance Of this view is
increased rather than diminished by the
imminent Philippine question. New terri
tory which we feel Is untitled, either from
the character of its population, or because
of it's distance from our shores, for state
hood in the Union. ought to be left alone
entirely.
1--WE therefore object to the provision of
the bill making the supreme court OF the
territory Of Hawaii Judge OF the member
ship of the house of the territorial legisla-
ture of Hawaii. We believe that each house
should be the final judge of the qualifca-
ton of its members. The innovation not
only fails TO preserve the constitutional in.
dependence of the three great branches Of
overnment-executive, legislative and Ju-
dcal-but tends to degrade the court TO
the level OF political squabbles and partisan
bias. 1t tends also to increase the already
dangerous power of the courts in our sys-
TEN of government.
I'VE also object to the property qualiflca-
ton for members OF the senate of the legis-
lature of Hawaii This disqualification also
extends to the voters Cor members of that
branch OF the legislature. This is an inno-
walton recognized by law the right Of
wealth to govern and is certainly danger
Gus tendency In a republic already threat
ened by the too great power. OF concentrated
wealth.
"A residence of three years IN Hawaii Is
also necessary for one to become q qualified
voter. As our desire Is, or should be, to
AmericaniEe those islands, we think a resi-
dence of even less than one year would be
preferable.
1--WE think also that too great power is
given to the governor; especially we object
to his being empowered to nominate part
of the judiciary OF that island for life. We
believe that ell the judges, az in other ter.
ritories OF the United States. should be apv
pointed by the President, and from the
bona fide resident bar OF the territory, foy
a term Of four years. II ftfe Judges are ID
be appointed at all they should be appoint.

THEY SAID FAREWELL.

Never before in its ten years of eX-
istenCe has an event happened the
equal of that which took place last
evening at the regular meeting of
Washington camp, No. 1888, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, at Masonic
hall, North Main avenue. Two of the
members of the above camp are mem
bers of the Thirteenth regiment and
the camp wished TO bid them God
speed on the eve of their departure.
The men are Edward Edwards, of
Company {. Suitable resolutions We're
adopted and special ritualistic fare
well was given the departing Sons.
The other reason was the setting on
foot of the organization of company
for the proposed State Reserves, from
the Camps members. The Camp has
a membership Of nearly two hundred
nearly all able young fellows. A COM
mittee was appointed, comprising ID. j.
Davis, 1, A. Daniels. Thomas Thomas
and w. II. Harris to arrange the pre-
liminary details and to seek the CO.
operation of the sister camp on this
side, No. IFS.
The above step has been under con-
sideration for sometime and nearly the
fun membership of the camp was pres
ent last evening to heartily endorse
tie idea, The committee will nold a
meeting this evening and expect TO re-
port company formed at the next
regular meeting OF the camp.

Nordt chose his text from Psalm 90,
tenth verse: "The days OF our years
are three score years and ten; and if
by reason of strength they be fourscore
years, yet is their strength labor and
sorrow, for il is soon cut off, and we
fly away" The reverend speaker de-
livered touching sermon, and he paid
glowing tributes TO the life of the de-
ceased
At the conclusion of the services the
remains were conveyed to the Pittston
avenue cemetery and inferred in the
family plot. The pall-bearers We're:
Conrad Pell, Jacob Demuth, John
Schneider and Henry Armbrust, ir.
Jacob Schaeffer, Adam Werlich and
Henry Armbrust, sr,, We're the flower
carriers. The long line of carriages
evidenced the respect in which the de-
ceased was held.
