Eastern and Foreign Markets-The
market for raws has been firm, the tone
and tendency in favor of sellers, owing
no doubt to competition among refin-
ers, scarcity of cane sugars Offering,
and also the course of the European
markets, which has been somewhat
erratic, but i'm the main with prices a
little higher and firmer at the close
than at the opening of the month.
1t is now reported that about 1l5
sugar estates are at work in Cuba,
which has somewhat augmented re-
ceipts, though the total crop made so
far is much less than that made last
year at the same time. The stocks in
Cuba are reported to be held in second
hands and no large quantities could be
bought unless at a heavy advance.
"Coffee-The general situation in the
principal consuming markets of the
world shows no practical change. Con-
ditions are not any more unfavorable
than they We're but the markets are
heavy and business hangs.

EXCITING CITY ELECTION
HARRISON REELECTED MAYOR
OF CHICAGO.
A Local Election That Attracted the
Interest and Attention of the Whole
Countrywide Issues.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Carter II. Har-
rison was reelected Mayor of Chica-
go today by total vote of 1904,
against 1Os,3O4 for Tina Carter. the
Republican candidate. and 45.4O1 for
John p. Altgeld, the independent
Democratic candidate.
Of the thirty-four Aldermen elect
ed, the Republicans secured nineteen
and the Democrats fifteen. The next
City Council will consist of twenty
eight Republicans and forty Demo-
Gratis, a gain or five for the Republi-
cans. The city ticket of the Demo-
Gratis was elected by majorties rum
ming all the way between 5000 and
5000. The Democrats also carried all
the town elections, electing the Asses
sor, Collector, Supervisor and Town
Clerk in the north, south and west
towns, the majorities running from
5000 TO 10000.
The election was entirely upon To-
cal issues, no element of national poll
tics entering into the campaign. The
firm stand taken by Mayor Harrison
against the proposed fifty-year extern
sion of the street-car franchises was
a strong element of his popularity,
and gained him many votes from the
Republican party, besides holding
closely to him many of the Demo-
cratic party who might have cast
their votes for the Independent can
| didate. Another fact that drew to
him many Republican votes was the
existing opposition to the Republican
machine among the rank and file of
the Republican party. Thousands of
votes were cast for Harrison that
would have been received by Carter,
| the Republican nominee, had not the
latter been backed by the machine
politicians.
| Several independent and Republi-
can papers supported Mr.. Harrison
among them the Times Herald and
| Post, which have been known as Nc
| Kinley organs, and the Chicago Rec
ord

night as being greatly pleased with
the result of the election, saying: 1T
shows that the people of Chicago are
| pleased with the administration. and
! am glad of that, for | honestly en-
| deavored to give them the best adj
ministration | could. The result
shows for itself"
John p. Altgeld said of the result
of the election tonight: One reason
for the election of MIR. Harrison was
that the press supported him almost
! without exception, and the great Re.
| publican papers were on his side
Why did the Republicans papers sup
port Harrison? The reason is not
hard to find. They saw that Mr.. Har.
rison had already betrayed the Demo
cratic party. as he had it in his power
to do, and he will carry the betraya
u great deal further and thus make
the reelection of Mckinley certain
ty. The. Republicans look on this
| fight as the first battle of 1900 and
feel that the reelection of Mr.. IIarri.

next Presidential campaign"

In the event that Dewey should
be elevated to the Presidency by
an uprising of the people on the
George Washington platform of no
partisan attachment, what rev.
olution would occur in American
politics. There would be a smash
ing of party machines and polite al
bosses who now cut wide swath
would be forced into retirement.
The election of Dewey to the Presid-
ency however, is something which
will propably never happen. The
men who are booming him for the
Office are politicians who would like
to use him.-Daily States.

Our Beet Sugar Factory

We have been informed by the pro-
moters of the beet sugar factory that
matters have now reached the point
where il is possible 10 give some of the
facts TO the public. The company has
not been organized and Incorporated as
yet but it is expected that now Mr..
Wright has returned from Texas the
company will be fully organized some
time next week, probably before another
Issue of this paper. The plans and
specifications are now in the hands Of
Mr.. Sharp and bids for the laying of the
factory foundations are ready to be re.
ceived. The architect, f. @. Lewis Of
Cleveland, Ohio is also here and il is
proposed 10 push the building as fast as
possible. Over 900 loads of stone have
been purchased and about 800 more are
wanted at once We understand that
lothian Allen will have charge of the
agricultural interests and make con.
tracts with the farmers for acreage.
L undoubtedly there is no man in Mich.
igan who is better fitted for the work in
this county than Mr.. Allen. and the
company is TO be congratulated for Sc.
curing his services.
