THE insistence of certain beet-sugar
manufacturers that farmers will be COM
PEELED to accept lower rates for their
beets in case of the annexation of Ha-
wall is looked upon by those who ex-
anime the matter closely from the
standpoint at Washington, where all
information bearing upon this subject
centers, as unwarranted by facts and
prospective conditions. The Republi-
can party has been from the first the
most earnest supporter of the beet-sugar
industry, and thousands of its leaders
who are studying this subject in the
interests of those engaged in the pro-
duction are confident no disadvantages
will come to sugar-beet raisers from the
annexation of Hawaii, and that at
tempts of beet-sugar manufacturers to
create sentiment against the annexa-
ton which has been so long favored by
the Republican party will not be ap-
proved by the people, and that they
will not be able to carry out their pro-
gram Of reducing prices of beets which
they are now proposing, apparently for
the purpose of creating sentiment
against the pending annexation meas
IRE. OF course annexation will not in
crease the amount of sugar imported
from Hawaii, since sugar from that
island has come in free for many years.

EVERY patriotic American who has
read or heard of the terrible disaster to
the great battleship "Maine" in the
harbor of Havana last week, by which
over $50 men were killed and property
valued at several million dollars de-
stroyed, Is anxiously awaiting the result
of the naval inquiry instituted with a
view to determining the cause OF the
fearful catastrophe. Latest advices
seem to indicate that the great war
ship was either blown up by torpedo
or by submarine mine discharged by
some fiend or fiends incarnate who
would have reveled in the worst hor
rors ever devised by the Spanish lnqui-
sition. And yet in the midst Of all the
grief and anger which the accident"
if it was an accident, or the crime if
such it was, has occasioned to the Amer
lean people, criticism has been singu-
larly moderate and Incorporate utter
ances few. But the nation is watching
and waiting for news.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty -four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney troub-
lie. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, BLADDER and every part Of
the urinay passage 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and Overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swam-ROOt is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
medicine you should have the best.

GERMANY's recent action in exclud-
ing American fruits from her markets
upon the pretense that they bring into
the country insects injurious to the fruit
interests is looked upon by the officials
of the department of agriculture at
Washington as simply another instance
of the hostility of that country to Amer
lean products. The excuse for this &C
ton is, from investigations made, with
out any foundation. 1t is very evident
that the German animus Is to be d.
rected against American products wher-
ever opportunity offers, and if oppor-
tunity does not offer, one will be made.
This action Oh the part Of the Prussian
officials is similar to action taken some
time since affecting American meats.
Strenuous efforts have been made by
this government to have these unjust
restrictions removed, but Indifferent
success has been met with. It seems
time that Germany as well as all other
countries which seek to discriminate
against American goods in particular
should be given to understand that this
government will not admit of such pro-
cedure, and 1t is probable that unless
Germany In this case promptly reoedes
from her position taken, the president
will sharply retaliate, as he is empow-
cred to do under the present tariff law.

The 0flcial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY oath, 1898.

In the January Harper's, Mr.. J. A.
Wheelock, editor OF the st. Paul Pho
neer Press, reviews the remarkable pro-
gress of what he terms the "North-
west' and takes a very hopeful view Of
farming, not only in the particular Sec
ton of which he writes, but also in the
whole vast agricultural region between
the Upper Mississippi and Puget Sound.
He states that in Minnesota and the
Dakotas "there has been no visible fall
i'm the price of farm lands" and wher-
ever mixed farming prevails the farm
ers have been prosperous through the
hard times. The market value of the
crops of 1897 in Minnesota and the two
Dakotas he estimates at the enormous
total of $2O5. OOO, 900, or an average OF
about $500 for each farm in the three
states, exclusive of revenues from hogs,
cattle, sheep and dairy products. And
yet he states that "half of Minnesota's
nearly 100000 acres are still un-
IdTulcu, Wullc LII CAC WV DsSnOSeA$S
only 100000 acres are yet occupied
and about 100000 acres are still
awaiting the touch of the plowshare.
Apparently Mr.. Wheelock would leave
his readers to infer that practically all
of this vast unoccupied domain is suit
able for colonization and cultivation,
for he hazards the prediction that the
"New Northwest" in which he seems
to include Montana and Washington,
will have "probable population Of
10000, 900 in 1910" If this rosiate dream
of rapid settlement is realized the most
remarkable expansion will be witnessed
in this state, by reason of the wonder
full extent and variety of its resources,
the salubrity of its climate and its COM
manding position with respect to the
commerce of the Orient and the golden
north. We are making history rapidly
in this remote corner of the land in
these closing years Of the 10th century,
and all the world looks on.

THE American farmer has Jared ex-
tremely well during the year 1897. He
received for his breadstuffs double the
money he received in 1894 or 1895, and
nearly so per cent more than he re-
ceived in 1896. The value of bread
stuffs exported from the United States
in 1894 was $12l, 1887; in 1895, S12l,.
ST., 555; in 1896, SIT, 27s, 405; in 1897,
$242, 121 ,1OS. In nearly all other arti-
cles of farm produce the expectations
for 1897 were far beyond those Of pre-
ceding years in value.
