Oshkosh Republican, (Rep.): When
it gets to that pitch where Republican
ism is gagged only by the defense of
those who violate Republican platforms
and principles, Republication has de-
cended to the level of mere obedience to
party bosses. The so-called party bos-
SEES would, to-day, like to see the anti
pass movement 10 the Legislature buried
out of sight, and they would gladly call
upon the party press everywhere to de-
fend such q disposition of the question.

COMPETITION FOR BEET SUGAR.

COMPETITION FOR BEET SUGAR.
That the future Of the beet sugar in
dustry in this country is adversely at
fected by the acquisition of the tropical
islands which were last year Spanish col
onies is beyond question. There is only
one way of encouraging our home indus
try, which is by imposing a tariff on all
sugar produced in Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and the Hawaiian islands.
These islands are capable of producing
nearly all the sugar consumed in the
United States. Cuba alone has been
known to produce 100000 tons of su-
gar in year and it is expected that
this production can be increased under
improved methods. The Philippine
islands raised 10000 tons in 1897, Per-
to Rico 10000 and the Hawaiian islands
100000. Altogether, the amount they
have been able to raise in the past
"O"AN Is uAO ~ w oOeoi VI i,1oo,ooo
tons, while the consumption of sugar in
this country is 100000 tons a year.
Ii is believed that the production on
these islands could be materially IT.
creased, if the best methods of cultiva-
tion were introduced, which means that
practically our total sugar supply could
be raised there.
Under these circumstances it is but
natural that the development of our beet
sugar industry should be placed in
doubt. The worlds supply of sugar is
already enormous, so that its further in
crease by building up large sugar in
dustry in the United States would re-
suit in creating surplus. If the sugar
of our tropical possessions is admitted
free, as some well posted men insist that
it must be under the constitution, the
profits in sugar production are likely to
be far smaller than they have been
hitherto estimated at. Tt certainly does
not seem to be favorable time to stim-
ulate beet sugar production by state
bounties. Milwaukee Sentinel.

BILOXI GETS THE FEDERAL COURT.

Senator W. v. Sullivan several days
days ago introduced bill In the Sen.
ate to authorize the holding Of the
United States circuit and district
courts at Biloxi instead OF Mississippi
City, where the slttings are now held.
Biloxi will, Of course, furnish free
suitable building in which to hold the
courts, and besides having ample ho-
tel accommodations for the people
who have occasion to attend the
courts. No place on the sea coast is
better adapted every way than the
growing city OF Biloxi, and we are
gratifled that the court will be per-
manently established there. The
bill has passed both houses 0f Con-
Rress and doubtless is approved ere
this.

LOUISIANA INDUSTRIAL EXPO
SiTiON.>

New Orleans. L., Jan. 81. isss
Editor Democrat-Stu.
New Orleans is preparing a great
Industrial Exposition. 1t Is TO be
known as the Louisiana Industrial
Exposition, the name Indicating in
itself that IL h not alone for New
Orleans, but for the entire State.
indeed, is the scope and intent NJ the
project. From the manner in which
the leading spirits OF the city have
been enlisted In this enterprise, IL
promises 10 spring through tu sue
cessful issue with an enthusiasm such
as will make 1t recognized tO I've the
biggest project on which New Orleans
has lab0red since the great Cotton Ex-
position In 1885. The town is thor
Oughly in earnest, and there IL M
doubt but that the initial season will
be a success. 1t is the intent each
year to renew the show, and as is the
history Of well sustained and careful
ly managed State Fairs, there Is every
indication that with the revolving
years it will grow in greatness and
usefulness, and practical service to
the State.
An effort will he made to enlist the
interest OF the entire State. II, in
deed, the details in this connection
are carried to Il successful issue, the
stranger from New York or Boston,
or anywhere else on the face OF the
glObe remote to Louisiana, will easily
lind that he can become pretty gencr-
ally acquainted with the resources Of
the entire State without going any
further than the Exposition grounds.
The scene for the Exposition has been
selected at the Fair grounds. Most
people who have visited New Orleans
are familiar with this location. Here
for the past few weeks the greatest
racing meet which has been held in
the South for many year has been
progressing. The Exposition will be
opened on May Sth and continue for
the balance OF the month, closing on
It's last day. Plans are on foot To at
tract here for that season, great
crowds OF guests and visitors, and the
likelihnOd Is that the city will be as
thronged with people as during Mardi
Gras week.
Among the distinguished visitors
promised, will be William Mckinley.
President Of the United States, and
members OF his Cabinet. The puesi-
dent Is expected here for the opening
days 0f the Exposition, and thousands
of people will doubtless take occasion
to be present to meet him.
Plans for the buildings have already
been considered. There arc 32,437
square feet in the place, and all this
space can be utilized for The exhibits.
IL Is thus seen that the physical pre-
partitions OF this enterprise are Of
considerable magnitude.

LOWRY ISLAND.

Secretary Of State Power in writing
to the Vicksburg Post dated 30th OF
January has the following to says
about Lowry Island, which lies along
the salt marsh OF the East Pascagoula
river right here almost in our midst.
Aoout 1890 ofthis land has recently
been sold To parties here:
Lowry Island was surveyed under
the administration Of Governor Low.
ry, in 1884, by J. NJ. II. Hamilton,
whose report top. NJ. Dohery Swamp
Land commissioner and Surveyor Gen.
eral," Is on file in the ONCE OF Land
Commissioner. Surveyor Hamilton
named the island. His survey EN-.
braced about twenty thousand acres,
and is valued at from fifty cents to If
teen dollars an acre. At the time the
governments surveys wers made, in
1911 to 1922, the lands between the
two prongs OF the Pascagoula river
were a salt marsh, covered by tide
water, and was therefore not included
In the United States Survey. Since
the closing OF the surveys by the U. S.
Government the soil deposited by the
tide water has made land OF the
marsh, and hence the State survey in
1884. The cost Of the survey was IL
cents an acre. Mr.. Hamilton, in clo-
sing his report, said: "ln all OF this
coast country there are many thOus-
and acres Of this marsh and accreted
land to be owned by the State only at
the cost of a survey" This would he
only few cents an acre, not exceed
ing eight cents. As there Is a grow
ing demand for Lowry Island lands,
the following paragraphs from Mr..
Hamilton's report will be OF inter-
est.
''The only timber on the island Is
in the northern tier OF sections, while
there is narrow strip along the banks
OF East river and Creole bayou. All OF
the soil has the appearance Of unusual
fertility. and II protection from high
water BY proper means would doubt.

The present value OF this island is
In its fine location for saw mills ana
other manufacturers Of wood. Situ.
ated in the arms Of a stream which
flows through some of the finest tim
bered country in the South, and con-
nected with the markets by rail and
water, this is destined to become one
OF the greatest manufacturing centres
on the Gulf Coast. OF the mouths
Of these rivers, and directly between
them and the Gulf lies Horn Island,

feet protection from the Gulf. With
