CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago News Qnd) says: when
Spain strove 10 subdue the Cubans there
was much bitterness in Castle because
American firms sold arms and ammunition
to the insurgent battalons. Protests were
made, but the United States assumed the
ground that guns and cartridges were
legitimate articles of manufacture and of
commerce. so that the sales could not be
prohibited. Japanese firms are now sup
plying arms to the Filipinos and the Amer
lean government cannot file objections
The joke is rather painful but is, no
doubt heartily appreciated in Madrid
The Americas Times Recorder (Dem.)
says: THE Times Recorder heartily con-
ours with The esteemed Savannah News on
its timely and just criticism of the Geor-
gia law makers regarding the circus tax
imposed by the Legislature last season.
The Times Recorder calls on that body to
repeal or amend this drastic legislation
which says we shant see the animals
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem) saws:

In connection with the Philippine war is
to find general capable of bringing the
war to a satisfactory end, and who. at
the same time, will not be thought of as
a presidential possibility. 1t viii be no.

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says; 1T seems cruel to dash Spain's joy
over her belief that she had discovered
that there were still a few Philippine
Islands which she had not ceded to us.

The Memphis Commercial-Appe Dem.)
says: 1--WE have paid 100000 more for
the Philippines than We paid for the If

ESTILL PARK.

1t is regretable, and it will be the cause
of still greater regret in years TO come
that City Council abandoned the 1893 acres
of land known as Estill Park so named
by a former Council in honor of the ex-
County Commissioner through whose eff
forts the land was decided by the county
to the city for the purposes of a suburban
park. Had the intentions of the Board
of County Commissioners, under whose
administration the gift was made been
carried out namely, the completing of the
Meridian road, by which the Park would
have been of easy access to the city, and
also the aiding of the city in doing the
work of opening of roads and grading the
property with those convicts who were not
able 90 do heavy labor on canals and
bitches, the Park would not now be aban-
doned, for the people would not let it be
The time is now at hand when there is
not a piece of woodland free to the people
where they can so and enjoy the scent
of the forest trees and roam at WILL with
out fear or favor. 1t was with the idea of
having such place that Estin Park was
given to the people of the city. That OBJ
jeet could still be attained and the people
who are TO make up the hundred thousand
who will some day call Savannah their
home would appreciate the piece of woods
that now appears of so little value to those
in authority. When coming generations
read the record of the transaction by
which that which should be theirs to en-
joy was given away, they will have but
little respect for the memories of those
who cared neither to plant nor build for
the benefit of posteritv

We devote considerable space to tile
telephone sensation in another ercolumn.
Lack of time and space prevents us
from giving the matter the editorial
notice in this issue that we would like
to. It is plain from the evidence ad-
duced that as far as the public is con-
cerned the combination of the two sys-
TENS is as effective in establishing a
permanent monopoly as if the entire
Independent system had been sold out
right to the trust. The public was in
terested in establishing a competing
line to the cities, and stock was SUBJ
scribed with the understanding that it
was to be competing line, and while
the sale might have been good busi-
ness move for those who own the con-
trolling stock, it certainly was not
keeping faith with the public. It ap-
pears to have been simply repetition
of the old game of making pretense
of fighting monopoly and putting up a
big bluff in order to get something to
sell

we beg to state, that we started our factory
few days ago and cannot devote much time
now to analyze small samples of beets. II
your farmers feel sure about the quality OF the
beets, they may ship what they have on their
responsibility to us, but of course enter one
name, as we cannot go to the bother to subdi-
vide one carload in so many portions.
Freight is to be paid to our yards and if beets
are acceptable we will pay the price as per
enclosed schedule. We would advise the in
terested parties to contract their rates before
shipping.
Yours Respectfully,
F. W. FINK
THE prices in the schedule submitted range
from s4.25 to IS 90 per ton for beets containing
from II to 18 percent sugar of 80 per cent puri-
ty.]
It will be seen from the above that
the factory cannot go to the bother to
subdivide carload in many portions,
but car could perhaps still be filed
by several parties and the proceeds be
divided in proportion to the amount of
beets furnished by each party. Ar
rangements could very likely be made
so that parties could all come on the
same day if some one took charge of
the affair.
Those intending to send beets to the
Experiment Station for analysis will
please call at this office for blanks and
directions.
Yours respectfully,

County Auditor.

INFORMATION TO BEET GROWERS.
County Auditor Johnson Gives Some
Information To Those Who Plant
ed Sugar Beets in the County.

Editor WILLMAR TRIBUNE:
The time to harvest the sugar beets
planted by a number of farmers as an
experiment is close at hand, if not al
ready at hand, and as a number have
expressed their desire to have their
beets tested with the view of ascertain
ing the value of beets grown in this
county, wrote to the Agricultural
Experiment Station for information
on the subject, and the following reply
was received:
Agricultural Experiment Station-St. Antho-
ny Park, Sept. IL. 1899.
Mr.. Lewis Johnson, County Auditor,
Willmar, NIlnn.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th instant received,
in which you state that q number OF farmers
in your vicinity have asked you what to do
with the beets grown from the seed that you
distributed last spring. I mail you today
number of our Bulletins No. IS, which will give
you summary of Investigation of sugar beets
from 1888 to 1898 by this station that will be ex
ceedingly interesting to any of your farmers
who are interested in sugar beets, and would
have given these beets the best cultivation
send some samples here for analysis. Please
see page 387 of the Bulletin. Have them read
this carefully, and 1 would suggest that num-
Der of farmers select their samples carefully
and pack them in a box, as per directions, and
ship them by freight to the Minnesota Transfer
rather than to St. Anthony Park. Please bear
this in mind Have the parties pay the freight
and we will get the beets and make the ana
lyses and report them. BY this means they
will know just exactly how valuable their
beetS are.
I would also suggest that the farmers ship
these beets to the Minnesota Beet Sugar Mfg
Co. of St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, Mimi
please see page 4l6 Of Bulletin.) do not
know whether the same freight rates prevail
as are given in this book, but it will be easy to
ascertain from your agent at Wil]mar There
may be but little profit in them. At the same
time it will be an experiment. and this is the
best way to determine if there is any profit in
growing them at the distance you are from the
factory.
also mail you some circulars with directions
for sending samples to US for analysis. Four or
five different farmers who are the best grow
ers should send samples in box at once &C.
| cording to directions, and please write me
when shipping.
Any further information that you desire do

the HEATHER srATEsMAN's VIEWS

Yes, ''the heather Chinee is De-
culiar." Our old friend l., Hung
Chang, whom Gen. Grant pronounced
one of the three ablest men whom he
met in his tour of the world, thinks
our ATTEMPTED occupation of the Philip
pines "a great mistake" He does
not understand Mr.. McKinley's policy
of subjugatDg people in order to give
them liberty Or killing them in the
benevolent attempt to civilize them.
The old Chinese statesman says:
When Gen. Grant was here he as
sured me that America was committed
TO the policy of non-aggression on
weaker nations, but since this man
Mckinley became president. America
seems to have cast aside its1. tradi-
tional policy of honor, riches and
safety, and to have entered upon the
same land-grabbing plan Of England,
Germany and Russia.
And he rightly sizes up Mckinley
as "a weak and uncertain man."
AS to way out Of the ENHANCEMENT,
the willy diplomat suggests "buying
up the insurgents, as we bought the
Sultan of Sulu. "You paid twenty
millions to Spain after the war had
ceased" he added. "Wcu}d it not
be a good idea to pay little more to
complete the bargain and prevent
further loss of American life and an
endless pension roll?''
Evidently Ii Hung Chang has not
forgotten what he learned in this coun-
try. As a bettec plan still. he advises
our. selliog the islands to Japan, and
to the, suggestion that this might lead
to struggle for possession BY Euro
pean powers, the practical old heather
replied: sThat would not hurt Amer
rica: sell the Philippines and let them
fight it out in their own way!'' -
This will Of course shock the truly
good Mr.. Nick Kinley. who is. anxious,
to supplement the 464 American sa-
looms in Manila with other adjuncts
of Western civilization, and to edu-
cate, convert and .slead up' to the
Ohio level the entire Malay pande-
5monium. But there are MANI Ameri-s

beet seed that was distributed last
spring. The attention of those who
succeeded in raising a crop is directed
to letter from the county auditor in
