NEW MRxsCo's GREAT EXHIBIT.
Commissioner Lesson Enthusiastic
over the Outlook.

From the Omaha Bee.
j. j. Lesson, of New Mexico, a
member of the exposition commission,
appointed by Governor Otero, arrived
in Omaha, this morning, to make ar
engagements for space for New Mexico's
exhibit. BY some misunderstanding
ex Governor Prince arrived before him
and returned to his home. Commis-
sioner Llewellyn did not come as was
intended. Commissioner Leeson was
manager of the exhibit made by the
Territory at the Tennessee exposition
and expressed himself most enthusiast
tically regarding the outlook for a large
and creditable exhibit from New Mex
leo.
In addition 10 the $1,000 appropri.
ated by the legislature for an exhibit,
Mr.. Lesson says the counties will con.
tribute between IS, 900 and Sc, 900 to
the fund for an EXHIBIT, and the state
board of immigration will contribute
about So. 800. New Mexico's display
will include exhibits showing the ag-
ricultural, horticultural, educational
and historical of the Terri
tory. The commissioner says the
people 10 his state are taking much
more interest 10 the idea OF making an
exhibit at Omaha than they did at
Nashville or Chicago, and will make a
fine exhibit. He was most enthusiast
tic regarding the of that
section, and described 10 glowing
language the favorable conditions
which he says exist there. Among
other things, he say, "New Mexico
to-day offers to the intelligent and
enterprisipg capitalist and plospector
a sure, speedy and reliable return for
investment or labor. The great
mineral zone or belt is 100 miles wide
and nearly 400 miles long, exten1ing
from the Colorado line to the Republic
of Mexico. This vast scope Of country
abounds in minerals, building stones,
fire clay, marble, coal, precious stones
and gems, and the rich, st soil and
grazing lands No country offers 80
many natural advantages as this vast
Territory"
Mr.. Leeson is somewhat of an enthu.
siast In the collection Of specimens of
minerals and has q private collection
which weighs twenty ( ur tons. He
says be Will send this as a part of the
state exhibit. lie also says that the
historical portion of the exhibit wh,ch |
will be made will be very interesting.
II will include fine specimens of the
many valuable historical relics found
in the Ttrntory, including pottery and
implements used during the stone sge,
knives, arrows, etc., illustrating The
copper age, relics Of the Aztec popula-
ton and Of the cliff jewellers.

GEN. BooTH, it is said, Is disap.
pointed because he did not succeed IN
bringing about a union between the
Salvation army and the Volunteers.
The masses of the American people
will not be disappointed. Both these
organizations are doing good work.
They will probably do better work ss
independent organizations than they
would we're they concentrated. The
American idea IS better represented by
Ballington Booth than by General
Booth or by Boob Tucker. and the
people will not be sorry to have him
continue bis WORK in his own way.

RETURN or THE PRODIGALs.


The Populist party is going to pieces in
Tennessee as II is everywhere else 1t has
not even "the cohesive power of public
plumber" TO hold it together. Only a short
time since, indeed, but few days ago three
OF the most prominent members OF the Pop.
Mist State Executive Committee Of Ten
nessee published card in which they state
that, realizing the impossibility Of bringing
about the reforms for which we have here
tofore labored, with the party in its present
disintegrated and disaffected condition we
have determined to support the Hon. Benton
Mcmillan for Governor"
The Populist leaders who have taken this
stand, and who will carry thousands with
them, have acted like sensible men and true
patriots. They realize, as all men who think
must realize, that the only choice in Ten
nessee or In any other State is between the
rule Of the Democratic or the Republican
party The Populist party is mere side
show. 1t has less excuse for being than
ever any party had In this country. In the
South 1t has taken hundreds OF thousands Of
men from the Democratic party, and in the
West 1t has made even greater ravages upon
the Republican party.
Benjamin II. Hill, in his great speech ex.
posing the treachery of Malone, declared
that there are only two great parties in this
country, and that where man leaves one
he gravitates toward the other. This is
true as gospel. A man may not have any
party. He may be an independent in poll
tics, and there Is much to be said for men
who hold themselves bound by no party
this country he must either be Democrat
OF Republican, or bump on the political
log. This great truth Is becoming truer
every day. 1t has been discovered by the
three eminent Tennessee Populists to whom
we have referred, and in It's light they are
walking to better ways 1t IS being recog-
nized and blessed every day by men long
gone into the mists and mire of Populism,
but who have never gotten beyond the reach
of saving grace. We are glad to see them
focking into the Democratic ranks, and we
are glad to realize the fact that the lamp for
the penitents IS brightly burning, and its
rays also are leading weary and sin sick
souls to repentance.
Whilst we will not kill "the fatted calf"
for the returning prodigal, we will receive
him with open arms and give him a seat at
the first table. "Go and sin no more"

SUGAR TRUST TROUBLES.

From all we can learn the sugar trust has
rough sea ahead of It.
II there ever was q trust which was
thoroughly disreputable and which dis
tinguished itself by It's defiance Of decency,
as well as OF public opinion, this Is the one.
The probability that the sugar trust has seen
Its best days will therefore be viewed with
general satisfaction by the public, which 1t
has fleeced for so long q time. The dangers
that beset the gigantic corporation are mani
fold.
II has recently found powerful rival in
the Arbuckle Company, which has built
and opened great sugar refinery in Boston.
Another refinery on Long Island, to be
operated by the Doscher Company, will be
ready for business in October. Still another
refinery that will make war on the sugar
trust has just been completed In San Fran
cisco. The trust now produces about three.
fourths of all the refined sugar used In this
country, but 1t lie estimated that Its power
iul competitor, who are now In the field,
will take away nearly half Of Its business.
The rapidly growing beet sugar industry
is also giving the sugar trust much trouble.
1t is necessary, In order TO make the pro.
duction of beet sugar profitable, to refine
sugar where the beets are grown, and thus
make large saving in freight
The business Of refining sugar near the
Louisiana plantations is also increasing
every year. But the most serious danger
which now threatens the sugar trust is one
which was only its greed and the exercise
of influence with Congress.
The lobbyists of the trust and its tools in
Congress succeeded In placing ditferential
duty of one cent pound on refined sugar
into the Dingley tariff act. This gave the
trust an enormous bounty, but 1t was too
good thing II is this big differential
which has lured other powerful companies
into the sugar refining business. II the
sugar trust had not grabbed for 30 much In
the way of legislative favors II would now
be In much stronger position than 1t holds.
Aud now the trust is brought face 10 face
with another perplexing problem. The
sugar Of Porto Rico and Hawaii will be I'D
mitted free Of duty. The sugar product Of
Cuba will also come in free II Cuba should
become ours, and ii probably will before
. long There will certainly be rehneries es.
