President Mckinley and Speaker
Henderson are the closest Of friends per
first thing Col. Henderson did after his
arrival in Washington, for the session
of Congress, was 10 call at the White
House and hold a long conference with
the President on the work that is ex-
pected 10 be accomplished at this season.
This personal harmony between the
President and the man who will preside
over the House, augurs well for the
country and for the Republican party; it
means that the executive and legislature
branches of the government are 70 work

Some prominent silver Republicans OF
Idaho, have divorced themselves from
Bryamsm. "A special from Boise states
that Secretary Of State Patrie, silver Re-
publican, recently sent out "A letter TO
many prominent members of his party
throughout the state, asking for their
views on the desirability of going back
To the Republican party, and has re-
ceived "a great many responses, only two
of which are in opposition to his own
view that the time has come to return.
One of the replies is from ex.Attorney
General George NJ. Parsons, one of the
silver Republican leaders After stat
ing the reasons for the organization of
the party III favor of silver, Mr.. Parsons
says
The conditions that caused us to do
this no longer prevail, Prosperity Is
strongly in evidence throughout the ma
ton. The cry of silver has lost its force
and power to rally men under strange
political banners. Col William j. Bry-
an advises good Democrats TO re-
turn TO the Democratic fold, and
within its lines fight over our differences
on the silver question. Ii his advice is
good as TO Democrats, why is not equal
ly good rs TO the Republicans: In the
silver Republican platform of 1898 we
declared ourselves 10 be in favor of an
honorable union with all other political
forces who are willing TO make the res
toration of silver, the one paramount is
sue, and who are ready TO sub-o ordinate
TO it all other questions This DECLARE
tion was the open test of our fealty 10
silver, and putting aside all other con-
siderations, we joined the Democracy in
in its behalf. But the Democratic party
has made it plain that henceforth silver
will be simply an issue 10 catch the
Western vote, and that party proposes
TO subordinate it TO other questions,
most prominent among them being the
furling of the flag.
IF my loyalty to silver is to be sand
WICKED between disloyalty to our nation
and national diShOnor, then | am for my
country without silver. In our party
platform we declared for protection to
American labor. for reciprocity, extern
sion of commerce. protection 10 our sea-
coast and the uphOlding of our navy,
and we also declared 1t to be our firm
conviction that every island, every strip
of land. over whose soil has tlOated the

Sugar Beet Notes.

The beet sugar campaign of sixty. five
DAYS in southern California is over, and
it has been the most successful in the
history of the big Chino factory. Every
pound of sugar was marketable, none
being left over for refining, none having
TO be melted and none bat the highest
quality going out. This is remarkable
record. The factory produced 1896 400
pounds of sugar, paid for beets 1929 600,
for labor 500, 600 and employed 600 men.
Its managers look for campaign of five
months in 1900 There is IA hearty salts
faction with the beet sugar industry III
southern California, as elsewhere
throughout the country Mich Sugar
Beet.
The Michigan beet sugar product this
year is estimated at sixty million
pounds, or within fifteen million pounds
of the amount annually consumed in
this state. The output may fall short of
this estimate owing to injury to the
crop of beets by poor weather at the be-
ginning of the season and a drOuth IN
August Still the production in this
state will be enormous The factories
now in operation and about to start mp
are located at Bay City Rochester, Alma,
Caro-. Benton Harbor, Holland and Kali
mazoo. These plants are extensive,
costing from $3.50, 900 to $500 600 each.
The outcome of their operations will be
carefully watched this year, as it will
have great influence on the business in
years to come. The sugar produced has
been tested by experts, who pronounce
it the finest possible to make.

After having had the germ OF yellow
lever isolated by Sanarclli. ANA verified
by one or more observers, II hehoovcs
us to look more practically ut the situa-
ton in the direction OF treatment;
The fact that many cases of yellow
FEVER respond in measure TO treatment
which has been in vogue for the past
ility years. certainly does not justify
the medical profession to rest upon its
oars, and continue in a well defined ron
tine practice We all recognizes that
in Semi-tropical ana tropical climates
yellow fever ahounds ut intervals. while
no we'll authenticated cases have been
known to exist for any length of time
IN colder climates, especially the higher
attitudes.
Recently DIR. Doty. of New York CITY.
has been brought into prominence by
curing a few cases OF Cuban yellow
fever through the means of serum. This
step is TO be highly commended. for it
has opened up comparatively new

Now, as long as the focus of yellow
fever has been recognized naturally
we are in position 10 deal with 1t more
lntcllgcntly. ana necessarily reduce tho
mortality. As means of aiding tho
serum theory in this particular limo the
question forces itself upon me that
Tripler's liquiiicd air would augment
any measure that might be adopted.
For instance where cases of yellow
fever exist this preparation could be
inauguratcd and used. i'm my humble
judgment. most bcneticially. Certainly
it reduces rapidly the tcmncraturc OF
