ingly sweeping at that-can save the
country from its peril.
A Bright Ray of Hone,
Chicago Record.


1t is declared by Mr.. Bryan that the
Senate of the United States is not def
initely lost to the people, and that il
he should be elected in November with
the almost certain Democratic gains,
the free silver force in the Senate
would certainly be considerable and in
the end decisive. The st. Louis Globe
Democrat, 4 rabid gold standard organ,
comedies this much, and that Mr..
Bryan's election will be serious
breach in the gold standard intrench-
ments and would give prestige to
further efforts to break them down
completely. The majority against sill
yer in the existing Senate is not over
seven. OF the thirty Senators whose
terms expire March next, seventeen
are Republicans, including one each
from Kansas. Montana. West Virginia,
Oregon, Idaho. Nebraska. Wyoming
and Colorado. Two gold Democrats go
out ut the same time. The Demo
Gratis are likely TO fill two of the three
vacancies, those in Delaware and Utah,
and Bryan's election will bring in a
Democratic Vice President. who would
vote in case of tie. Thus far the St
Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
Still further extending the idea. the
people of the Western States have
reached the conclusion that they are
Wyoming, Kansas, Montana. Idaho
and Nebraska are represented by six
Senators, who We're elected on the pre-
tense of being bime;aliists, and who
voted for the single gold standard. the
placing of paper money in the hands of
the banks and the creation of n bank
trust controlling all the business of the
country. There is no question that the
people of each and every one of these
six States are absolutely opposed to the
things for which their six Senators
voted. and the evidence is accumulat-
ing that they are taking exceedingly
great care not to permit any of the six
to further misrepresent them after next
March. The change of these six States
alone will cut the god majority in tie
WV, ihsp t'
count gains that may he made in other
parts of the country. Kentucky has al

Lindsay. In Louisiana Caffrey has been
defeated overwhelmingly in the prim-
aries by silver man. The review of
the whole situation will therefore ap-
pear TO be one of great hope to the
Democracy and TO the cause of the peo
pie and that the election of Mr.. Bryan
will not be, as has been So often al |
legged, n useless expenditure of votes |
and the placing of Il helpless incumbent |
in the Presidential chair. Success, |

slant efforts to abide by unity of pur-

The bodice was white satin covered with black lace, the jacket of velvet, the sleeves of half and half of each. This gown will be very, fine Tor reception wear. It is difficult just now to choose anything better for such a purpose than panne velvet, and the sol- i'd color weaves are safer, though the others often make up very handso,ne- ly.
 By the time warm weather materials are again in season the box pleated back skirt will probably succumb, so it should be adopted now with caution. In other respects the present is a time to be guarded in one's endorsements. Thus though fur hats are pretty, 1t is too late to purchase. You can hardly wear one later than March, and it will not be an easy thing to keep from moths Besides, there are sure to be notifications next year. Taffeta waists were a late arrival. but are a safer investment than some other mo- tions that came along with them. The tucked, corded smocked or otherwise embeIlished waists of taffeta and satin are now the new cry. but who is to know that you did noit make your purchase when such waists were three times their present price?

| supposition he told where he had hid- den his knife, and then told the story of the murder. The confession was not obtained through fear or hope. The judge said: "The object of evidence is to get at the truth and trick which has no tendency to produce confession except one in accordance with the truth is always admissible. Society and the criminal are at war, and cap- ture by surprise, or ambush, or a mask ed battery, is as permissible in one case as in the other" The judge cited cases in support of these last observations Another feature of the appeal was the testimony of two medical experts who had declared the prisonep ndegener- ate" Of them the judge said: While their testimony reads like lecture on moral philosophy, it is wholly destitute of value in a court of tustice.'' The conviction was affirmed.

HTILL STEADY.

The more trouble the British have the more their pluck shines. There is no attempt In London to gloss over the se- riousness of the situation following the failure at Spion Kop, nor is there any disposition to consider it more import ant than it iS. The fall of Ladysmith now seems to be expected, but the Pail Mall Gazette doubtless expresses pub lie opinion when it says: Even if Lady smith falls, Spion Kop is not Majuba in the most vital sense It will not end the war. There will be no muddling compound of 'magnanimity" and cow ardice this time. The war will end when General Roberts dictates the terms at Pretoria. To that end the em- pire's mind is made up.
 The London experts are urging the immediate shifting of the theatre of war from the rocky kopjes of Natal to the open veldt of the Free State. Per haps the Boers would be there too with some new tricks. They seem to have a way of being just where they ought to be and doing just what the British don't want them to do.

THE LAST OF THE ORDER OF THE
 coIF.

With the death of MT. Serjeant Spinks, Q. C., the Ancient Order of the Golf ceases to exist, so far as the Bar is concerned. Indeed, of the members of Serjeants' Inn only two now remain, the Master of the Rolls and Lord Field; and as a Serjeant ceased to retain any of the privileges of his position when raised to the Bench, it may be said that the Order of the Golf (the judges who have been Serjeants wear little black patch on the top of the wigs) Is now extinct. MT. Serjeant Spinks, who was chosen a Serjeant in 1862, when he had reached his forty-sixth year, was Con- servative member for Oldham from 1874 to 1880. He was an able lawyer and in his day gained a reputation as cross- xaminer-London Globe.

REEF SUGAR.

Those who have Been mere interested in Sugar stock than in sugar production will be surprised to read that twq-thirds of the worlds sugar is now pfoduced from beets. Prior to 1871-2 the worlds production of beet sugar had never reached 100000 tons; in the present crop year it is, according to latest esti- mates, 5,510,000 tons, while the cane su- gar crop, which in 1S712 was 1,599,000 tons, is in the present year 2,9O4 OOO tons Thus cane sugar production has scarce ly doubled during the period under con- sideration, while that from beets has more than quintupled. Meantime the price has fallen more than one-half, the average cost in foreign country of all sugar imported into the United States in the fiscal year 1872 being 5.S7 cents per pound and in 1899 2.39 cents per pound. No development of the worlds production of foodstuffs has bsen more rapid or striking than that of beet sl-
 
 gar. In 1s54-5 thesotal beet sugar crop of the world was but 1s2o0O tons; by 1S64-5 it had reached 536,oO0 tons; in 1S74-5 it was 1,219,O0O tons; in 1SS4-5, 2,545, 900 tons; in 1S94-5, 4,792,793 tons, and in 1se9-19Oo 5,51ooO0 tons In 1S54-5 beet sugar formed 1S per cent. of the worlds total sugar crop, and in 1S99-1900 it formed 66 per cent Thus the sugar producing area of the world has in less than a half century been shifted from the tropics northward, and the farmer of the temperate zone has shown his ability not only to compete with the low priced labor of the tropics, but in doing so to reduce by one-half the cost of the article produced.
