The Boer commissioners have been in
formed by both the president and Secre-
tary Hay that this country will not inter
fere in the war in the Transvaal. It is hard
to see wherein this country could do other
wise. The policy of the administration
has been most dignifed and conservative,
and in keeping with our traditions. The
affairs of Europe are something the Ameri-
can government has never interfered with
yet, and if the Monroe doctrine is to be
maintained, they are something it can
hardly afford to mix in. The manner in
which the Boer war has been handled by
the fusion Democrats for political pur-
poses, the climax of which has been reached
by their treatment of the commissioners
now here, is burning disgrace that ought
to be resented by the people of the nation.
The Boer commissioners came to this coun-
try on diplomatic purpose, and it has
been in very poor taste for Congressman
Sulzer and his crowd of associates to use
them as they did, before they had chance
to state their mission to the proper authori.
ties. This action of this choice crowd oil
political worthless, has not been for any
real love or sympathy they have for the
Boer cause. as it was for the political ad-
vantage they hoped to reap from it. Fol-
political effect they condemn the ad.
ministration for not taking action in the
matter, when if some action was taker
which, as it probably would, get this coun
try into trouble to greater or less extent,
they. would be the first and the loudest in
their condemnation in what they would
call its recklessness.

AMERICAS POLICY IN CHINA

Sir Charles Dixie in an article in the
current North American Review on The
American Policy in China" in speaking of
the open door policy" which has lately
been followed by the United States. says
that it was first proclaimed by an Ameri-
can, the Hon. Arson Burlingame, who
was American minister to China, land
ultimately first Chinese Ambassador to
Europe. He put forth this policy in 1867,
but it was ,never.sadopted as national
policy by the UnitediStates. The policy,
says Sir Charles, was wise one then, but
was premature. c In further commenting
upon it the writer says:
ut ought to be portion of the policy,
if that policy befseriously intended, that
the United States should be strongly rep.
resented in China. At Pekin there must
be minister of high authority who will
take the lead inspressing the enlightened
and trading views of our governments ano
of the Powers who will concur with them
and, on thetcoast, commodore who will
use the naval power of the United States
in conjunction with the British admiral or
the station, in suppressing piracy and law
lessness on the West River, the Yang-tst
and otherEinland waters where British
trade and the strade of the United State
are and in an increasing degree will be
done. The United States are now SHOWING
their power, as a manufacturing and ex
porting nation, to hold their own market
far more distant sfrom their shores thai
those of China. q Rivals we must be il
trade; but we have, both of US, everythin
to gain by making ours friendly rivalry
and by cooperating in maintaining orde
throughout China, and in asking, as re
turn. for the regularization of inland dr
ties and for the extension of the Imperis
customs system to financial matters whic

A ROAD TROUBLE.
Fred Arndt Flows up Alleged Public
Highway in Cambria.

Evan ]. Davis, member of the Cam
bria town board. was in the cityTuesday
consulting the county's legal advisor in re-
gard to the actions of man named Fred
Arndt, who persists in closing up a town
road which has run across his farm for the
past thirty years. so it is claimed. Arnd1
wants the road to 60 over an embankment
and has plowed up and seeded down the
old road. hoping to force travel by the
other way, which is not nearly as satisfac
tory. He has been blowing the road fol
two or three years, and this has exasper
ated the people who have to travel the
road, as we'll as the town authorities. L
is likely that collision will occur between
Arndt and the town authorities before

A SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENT.

Elsewhere will be found the report of the
secretary of the Mankato Sugar Beet Com
pany, which gives its experience in raising
sugar beets, and as will be seen from the
report, it is in the same condition OF the
fellow who had the experience and the
other fellow had the money. Last year
might not have been as favorable season
as usual for the raising of sugar beets, but
the experience of the company demon
strated one thing, and that is that sugar
beet raising cannot be counted upon as
profitable, taking one season with another,
when shipment of beets must be made by
rail to the factory. If the farmer could
save the freight that would be clear profit
to him, and might on the average help to
return him fair profit, but even then he
must count on seasons when his profit will
shrink to little.or nothing.
Then the deduction which the COM
pany at St. s. Louis Park made,
Of over " tons, was another hole
for loss. cit is hard 10 see, in the case Of
these beets, why so large deduction was
made, as we learn that they had been
pulled, in most instances at least several
days before fears could be obtained, and
after they reached the factory, stood in the
cars for several days more before they
were weighed. giving them ample time for
shrinkage, so that ten per cent added seems
like OVERRIDING it. But the farmer had no
representative there to look after his in
terest and had to take things as they were
reported.
Then the company no doubt charged too
much for itssseed. for good seed was on
the market at much lower price.
There may be instances where farmer
can do all his own work, that fairly good
profit can be made raising beets, but where
it is undertaken upon large scale the ex-
perience of the local company, and what
can be cleaned from private sources, go to
show that there is no profit in it whatever
where the beets must be shipped.

TIGHTLY PLUGGED UP.

The mill we'll has been cleaned to the
depth of 500 feet, and the work will go
on until it is cleaned to the bottom,
which is about $50 feet. A solid mass
of sand and gravel fills in the lower
part of the we'll almost as tightly as the
original rock and completely shuts off
the lower flow. 1t is necessary to use
the sand pump to clear away the OBJ
struction. The original flow is not ex-
pected to be restored until the we'll has
been completely cleaned out. 1t is esti-
mated that 200 feet of sand and gravel
has been taken out.

are at present outside its control"

Sir Charles further calls attention to the
fact that while other countries may yield
to the views put forward by the United
States, and supported by England, they
are as a matter of course, not friendly to
them. They look with much jealousy up
on the growing industrial power of this
country and feel that it is "a constant
menace to their future stability. They
have got to 60 out into the world and gel
trade order to maintain their present life
and activity, or else lapse into secondary
position, and when they go out into the
world they are now meeting the United
States at every turn. 1t is evident that
the European nations would much prefer
to shut out the United States from the
rich Chinese trade that is opening up, but
this they hardly dare to do in the face of
England's friendliness And to certain
extent it is probable those countries feel
considerably the same toward England
though doubtless they do not fear her to
the extent they do the growing power of
the United States. This is doubtless what
causes England to feel the way she does in
the matter, for Sir Charles says: I'VE
know that we shall have in that territory
[China] the growing competition of the
United States and that of Germany, pos
sible also that of Japan. but we are con-
tent to take our chance, and are content
also to let America, if she chooses,
take the lead, or to act equally with US, in
insisting that the future of these territories
shall not be marred by piracy, brigandage
and rapacious taxation" There is nothing
in this. he says. that means war, nor does
it mean an alliance of any kind save that
of pushing the possibilities of trade.
