Mark Twain, following the noble ex-
ample of Sir Walter Scott, has devoted
all his gains for several years TO the
payment of what his creditors were dis
posed to regard as dead claims" The
English papers are lavish in their az
plause--as If this kind of honesty were
a rare virtue. Perhaps it is rare; bu.
then, more's the pity! Creditors should
forgive us as they hope to be forgiven;
but no debtor should let himself OF
easily, unless he is willing to take the
risk Of moral bankruptcy.

Mr. Moody thinks If Christ offered to
rule here as he does in heaven he
would be adopted by no political party
and the majority would vote him down.
Evidently Mr.. Moody believes that the
masses are growing in strength and
number; but he ought to give the ma
jority some little credit for intelli
gepce. While ignorance and egotism
go together and are powerful, there is
such thing as common sense. And
besides Mr.. Plat is not going to live al
ways.

During the course Of the discussion
which recently took place in the French
senate on the subject of the sugar du-
ties in that country, some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog
ress of the sugar industry in the three
sugar producing countries, Germany,
France and Austria. During the year
1S74-75 France produced 100000 tons OF
sugar, Germany 100000 tons and Aus
tria 100000 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank, and
Germany produced 1881 900 tons, Aus
tria 1,046, 900 and France $4,000 tons.
In 1873 France exported 100000 tons
OF sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
81 900, while in 1895 Germany exported
1000, 900 tons, Austria 100000 and
France 1000 tons The consumption
in France in 1895 amounted to 4SS, 600
tons and in Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted in France ON
the manufacture of sugar amounted in
1SS4-S5 to G1,012 900 and in 1896 to
42,302,000 The quantity of sugar
consumed per head of the population in
Germany, France and Austria amount
ed respectively to 26.7. 27.S and 16.5
pounds.

that move the masses. Music to draw

HOLD MASS CONVENTIONS.

We regret to learn that in many coun-
ties no primaries, or county conventions
have been called. in compliance with
law. In some cases it is feared that
treachery is at the bottom Of this
failure.
Fortunately the law provides for such
cases as follows:
In counties. cities and election precincts
having no party organization or only par
tal party organizations; and if in such
the legal voters therein of this party can
not effect organization and hold their
primary elections, as in said act cOntem-
plated the legal voters of this party in
such counties. cities and precincts may call
of such legal voters, and in such mass
convention duly organized with chairman,
secretary and two judges, may elect dele
gates and the officers of such mass con-
ventiOns may give credentials and certifi-
Gates to such delegates.

representation to any body of Populists
where there has been a failure to give
notice, but mass conventions are held.
