the aggregate amount of $100.000.000.
What would be thought of business
man who, with forty millions Of available
commodities in his cellar, marketable
at par value, should permit them to lie
with proposition to pledge all Of his
resources for loan? That is the atti-
tude of the administration today, and 1t
is the attitude which II may be expected
to maintain to the end.
When it was proposed, in the house
committee on ways and means, that the
silver seigniorage should be Immediately
coined, it was defeated by strict party
vote, every Republican member voting
against the proposition, every member of
the opposition favoring it.
About the first act of the Spanish min
istry, after the declaration Of war, was
crease it's note issue, and to the end that
the established proportion of paper to
coin money should be maintained, it was
directed that the mints of the country be
at once opened to the coinage of silver
upon equal terms with gold. Spain must
buy the silver with which to make her
pesetas. The domestic production Of the
white metal is almost infinitesimal. But
four million ounces were credited to her
last year, whereas the United States pro-
duced mora than one-third of the output
of the world.
1t is now proposed at once to add six
hundred millions to the interest bearing
Indebtedness of the country. and to keep
forever closed the mints to the coinage
Of one of the precious metals, of which
the United States is the greatest pro-
ducer. More than forty millions Of this
metal, for which the government has al
ready paid the producer, must continue
to lie idle in the treasury vaults, while
the people are pledged anew to continue
indefinitely the payment Of tribute to
the money lords Of the land.
That is the proposition, plain and SIM
pie, with which the country is con-
fronted. A subservient house will en-
dorse it without protest. 1t remains
to be seen whether the senate, under the
specious plea of a war exigency, will
yield acquiescence.

DANGEROUS BURNING FLUID

Some time ago The Herald called at
tention to the wretched carelessness Of
grocers in filling kerosene oil orderslwith
gasoline, and to the low standard of
much of the kerosene oil sold. Several
accidents have occurred and there was
a general opinion that the city should
pass an ordinance regulating the in
spection and sale Of these commodities.
Fire Chief Moore also called attention to
the same dangers, but nothing was done.
Now another serious accident has oc-
Cured, and again there is loud de-
mand for an ordinance providing for the
inspection of burning fluids and the es-
tablishment of a safe standard
The council ought to take immediate
action in this important matter. The
present conditions constitute dangerous
menace to life and property in the COM
munity.

1t is obvious that the United States can
III spare q single battleship or cruiser
from Its navy. fact that fully justifies
the great precaution now being exercised
against needless exposure to danger. A

hostilities. Itis felt that too much should
not be hazarded upon a single engage

Beet Sugar.
New York Ledger

New York Ledger.
The effort to make sugar from beetS dates
back as far as the year 1747. AT that time
an experimenter set out to produce sweets
from vegetables, and after repeated trials
found that the beet contained more sac
charine matter than any garden product.
He was, however, so violently opposed and
ridiculed by his neighborS that he became
died out as far as he was concerned. Some
years later young man who had been as
ISOLATED with him took up the idea and pro-
duced some excellent sugar from ordinary
garden beets. From that time to the pres
ent attempts have been made to put this
industry on d practical footing, but there
has been so little encouragement given it
that after all these years it languiShes. Adj
VocateS of beet sugar are of the opinion
that nothing but governmental aid will suf-
flee to put this business on practical, pay
ing basis. In 1880 beet sugar was manu-
featured near Philadelphia. Later attempts
were made in Massachusetts, Illinois and
wisconsin. The result was not specially el.-
couraging until the beet-sugar plant in Al
varado, Cal, was started. Here the first
success was scored, and in 1890 two fac
tories in California were in operation and
turning out most excellent product. The
Mckinley act of October, 1890, providing 2
cents pound bounty on refined sugar, was
in 1894 and the work stopped. In 1896 a
plant was established at Eddy, n. M, and
from this time the number and capacity
of these factories have increased. AT pres

DIVORCED FROM A MYTH
Jack" STEWARDS WEE MAKES
UNIQUE COMPLAINT AGAINST HIM.
Claims He Obtained a Separation from
Woman Who Never Had
Existence.

In Room 3, Superior Court, yesterday,
petition was filed by Helen T. Stewart in
the divorce proceedings of John Stewart
against Fannie Stewart. The petitioner
AYERS she is the legal wife Of John ('Jack')
Stewart, who is well known about town.
She shows they were married il st. Louis
in 1891 and separated in 1895 in this city.
During the same year, the petitioner AYERS,
Stewart brought a suit for divorce from her,
but the decree was refused.
1t is shown that a short time ago Stewart
was the plaintiff in suit for divorce from
one Fannie Stewart" and Judge Carter
granted the decree. Helen Stewart, the Pc
titioner. now comes in and asks that the
record of this latter case be expunged from
the docket She declares that Fannie
Stewart is a myth and that the John
Stewart complained of never had but one
wife, and this is the petitioner. She AYERS
that the proceedings had in the suit of John
Stewart VS.. Fannie Stewart were fraudu-
lent. She says Stewart brought an action
against an imaginary wife, and gave notice
by publication of his intention to prosecute
his suit. The woman did not appear and
the divorce was granted. The petitioner
charges that fraud was practiced on the
court and that the sole purpose of the pro-
ccedings was to keep the petitioner out Of
her legal rights as wife
The petitioner AYERS that since her sepa-
ration from Stewart she has resided in
property belonging to Stewart at Ohio and
New Jersey streets. She says he has al
ready notified her to quit the premises and
has boosted to his friends that 'he had got
a divorce" The petitioner further AYERS
that shortly after her marriage Stewart re-
ceived word from a Cincinnati woman di-.
recting him to call on her. The petitioners
fears seem to have been aroused, and she
protested against the visit. Stewart, she
AYERS assured her that she was the only
wife he ever had.
Judge Carter after hearing the petition,
yesterday served notice ON Stewart to APP
pear in court on March IL and show cause
why the record in his last divorce suit
should not be stricken from the docket,

THE .HREGALv INSTRUMENTS.
Remarkable Success of the Artistic
Products OF MuIschner & Son.

The Regal mandolins and guitars manufae-
tured by Wulschner & Son, of Indiana polis are
forging right to the front with the professional
players of the country.
Early in January they received an order from
Jessie Bartlett Davis for Regal" mandolin
for her who is in college, and few weeks
later order came for a similar instrument
from Miss Lulu CHASER.
Francis Wilson, Immediately upon seeing Miss
Glaser's Instrument delighted with the
beautiful tone and exquisite finish Of it that he
at once purchased for his wife.
IL requires the ripest experience to produce an
article that will excel others of the same class
that will stand the test of time and be pro-
nounced superior by capable judges, and the
products of the Regal factory to-day illustrate
the truth of this so fully that the manufacturers
from the enormous expense they have always
best manaoIins and guitars in the world.
IL IS certainly true that the best earns place
or itself at the 'front.' and we congratulate
success they are having with their Regal
instruments
We believe the great success the Wulsch-
per house is having Is attributable to their
soonest eilaeavor to place before their pa
sro1S, instruments that viii in every in
'tance uphold their promises of years that
lothing but the best is good enough for
hem. Their standard is certainly high, and
he musical public feels assured that what
,omes from Wulschner a. Son will be as
artistic as Is procurable.

A libel suit for $1,000 brought in the Dear
born Circuit Court by william d. Welsh
against Albert +. Geisert has been trans
ferred to the United States Court. Welsh
was a government storekeeper last Deem
Der, stationed at the plant of the Cereal

and the rules governing his work. Welsh
says the charge was untrue, and thinks he
was damaged to the extent of 5000. Geisert
does not deny writing the letter. In answer,
he says he first told Mr.. NoWlin that Mr..
Welsh had left his post, and afterward put
it in writing at Mr.. Nowlin's request He

of the officers above Mr. Welsh.
