THE RACE IS A FREE-FoR-ALL
The Withdrawal Of Cato Sel1s From
the GuberRatorlal Contest In
Iowa Leaves n Clear Field.

Des Moines, Ia., Aug. 16.-Just be-
fore the Democratic state convention
opened it's session in the Auditorium
here, Cato Sells, who had been the
most prominent figure in the race for
the nomination for governor, with
drew his name and declined to remain
in the fight. Sells unexpected action
threw the forces of his rivals into un.
certainty and disorder, and the dele.
gates went into the convention with.
ont the suspicion of slate, and what
the outcome of the race for the head oi
the ticket will be is very much in
doubt. 1t was stated by many Of
Sells supporters that Frederick White,
who was the democratic nominee twJ
years ago, would receive the support
Of Sells forces. Sells withdrawal is
regarded by many of the party leaders
as proof of the absolute control of the
Iowa state democracy by w. J. Bryan.
Sells free silver views have been seri-
ously questioned and he had apparent.
ly made no efforts to place himself ir-
retrievably under the 16 to banner.
Ii is estimated that he felt forced to
withdraw owing to his convictions
'ttat"without Bryan's support he could
not be nominated. When the conven-
ton assembled every county in the
state was represented by delegates
for the first time in five years.

The report Of the statistician OF the

cotton on August to have been 81,

on August I, 1898; $50 at the corre-
spending date in 1897, and s5.s, the
mean of the August averages for the
last ten years. There was a decline
during July amounting to 5 points in
North Carolina, 10 in South Carolina,
s in Georgia, Alabama and Texas, in
Tennessee and 2 in Missouri. On the
other hand, there was an improvement
Of point in Louisiana, of 2 points in

The sugar question.

The total sugar crop of the world
for 1898 has been placed at 7.S39.2eO
tons, of which 3,040,26O was from cane
and 4,79O, 900 tons from bcets. As the
consumption in the United States il
estimated at about 4.4CO.hN'.0cO
pounds, and that of Great Britain is
| in the neighborhood of $500, ,00O. 900 per
annum, 1t will be seen that these two
countries combined consume more
than half of the worlds crop OF sugar
from both cane and beets. The great
est part of the beet sugar IL made In
Germany. and large quantities OF IT are
imported to the United States.
The United States md their possess
sions are credited with being able to
furnish supplies a. follows: Louisiana,
20; ,9s1 ,s7s pounds; beet sugar fac
tories, 9O,40l $40; Hawaiian crop. 431.-
el7,l16; Puerto Rican crop, Sl.5Ss,s10;
Philippine crop, 135,OO0.DO0. Total.
LAC, ,243,474. This leaves about q
os0, 0,O0o, 900 pounds to come from Cuba,
Germany and elsewhere.
Louisiana produces more cane sugar
than is got from all the new possess
sions pnt together, and is likely to be
able to hold her own against them all,
and, unless Cuba shall be annexed and
Cuban sugar allowed to come in free
CT duty, there is nothing in the situa'
| ton, says the New Orleans Picayune,
| to alarm the Louisiana sugar planters,
In the meantime the demand for
sweets is constantly growing in the
United States, and the day must soon
come when the people Of this country
will consume as much per head oi
population as do the English, which il
not far from 100 pounds year.
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida have many thousands OF acres
of land suitable for sugar growing

that the tea plants lived through last

the history of the section was expert
enced. that the cultivation Of tea will
prove satisfactory. The quality of the
tea also has proved satisfactory. OF

more strength than its color indicates.
