POLITICAL

Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, has
abandoned the free silver fal.acies of
the demo-pops and will hereafter
identify himself with the straight re-
publican national party.
Colonel James Mitchell, editor of the
Little Rock, Ark, Democrat, which was
a radical supporter of Bryan and free
silver, says:
Free silver is a dead issue. When
| was at our state convention and they
adopted resolutions indorsing free sill
yer and reaffirming their fealty to
Bryan, l told some of my friends an
ancient story. When a Scythian king
died mis- court arrayed themselves in all
the habliments Of royalty, placed his
crown on his head and his scepter in
his cold, clammy hand, and then, with
great ~solemnity, would march into the
regal presence, saluting and
making obeisances to the dead
monarch. crying. Long live the
king So with the retainers OF free
silver; they know their monarch is
dead, but they are still going through
the ~post-mortem ceremony.

Railroads Fared Well.

Chicago, III, Dec. 31-The Railway
Age makes the following statement of the
receiverships and foreclosures for 1897:
No year since 1887 has shown so few
roads or SO small mileage confessing in
solvency. While compared with the rec
ord for any one of the FIVE years immedi-
ately preceding 1897, the list of new re-
ceiverships in the last year is surprisingly
small in respect to number Of lines, mile
age and capital involved In 1893 no less
than seyenty-four companies, with 29,34O
miles of road, and 81, 7S1 600 900 of bonds
and stock defaulted in their obligations
and were turned over to the control of the
courts. In 1897, the number of similar
mileage was 1887, and their capitalization
was less than 500 100000. In 1895 the
number of roads was thirtyfour the mile
age 5441, and the capitalization $685.

WILL BUILD THE FACTORY.
Northwestern Beet Sugar Company Sc
cures Money and More Time

Black River Falls, Jan. 81 Special. I
The committee appointed at the recent
session of the county board, met Satur-
day and gave hearing to the representa-
tives of the Northwestern Beet Sugar
company, whose option on the $4,000
acres of county land, to be given as a
). bonus to the company, expired on that
day.
Mr. Boyington, one of the leading repre-
sentatiyes of the sugar company, spoke
before the committee, showing why the
company had been unable to proceed with
the work. The failure Of the Menomonee
Falls concern, coming at a time when the
Northwestern company was trying to
float bonds, cast a wet blanket over the
entire deal, he said. After negotiating
with several well-known Eastern capital
lists without results, a meeting was ar
ranged with Mr.. Click; financial agent
of the DreXel estate of Philadelphia, and
the deal was closed. To Henry G. Payne,
Mr.. Bigelow and Mr.. Camp of the Mil
VI ukee Trust company much credit is
{ as it was through their efforts that
S400,000 loan from the Drexels was
Ired. The bonds are to bear per
interest and are payable in fifteen
years. A deposit of $500 will be made
with the First National bank of Milwau-
kee at once, subject to the check of the
Northwestern Beet Sugar company, and
the balance of the $500, 600 will be given
from time to time as the work progresses.
1t is stipulated that the money is to be
used for the purpose of paying off the
present Indebtedness on the lands
pledged as security, and to build a beet
sugar factory of not less than 400 tons
daily capacity. No other use is permitted
of the bonds until such factory is complet-
ed free OF liens or claims therefor. AT
least $4,000 acres of the mortgaged lands
have been certified to be clear of all in
cumbrance except the trust deed which Sc
cures the bond issues.
The work of getting out stone for the
formation of the factory will begin al
once 1t will take 1900 cords, equal TIC
$50 carloads and will cost $1,000.
The farmers are to be paid for the
beets raised last summer which were not
used by the company. This is one of the
conditions of the option extension on the
part Of the county.
