Hon. Charles A. Towne took the

on the democratic side Of the

principles Of democracy Mr.. Towne
ranks next to Mr.. Bryan. He has
had legislative experience as a
member Of congress, and he is one
Of the most scholarly as he is one
Of the purest men in American
public life. A. filter appointment
could not possibly have been
made. 1t honors Goveror Lind
and the state Of Minnesota, and
though he will be on the minority
side, his term, brief as it will be, will
give Senator Towne an oPpOrtuni-
ty to do some good for his coun-
try. 1t is not customary for new
senator's to take a prominent part
in debate. Mr.. Towne will doubt
less prove an exception. He has
knowledge, wisdom and eloquence
and he will impress himself upon
Legislation from the outset. 1t may
be assumed that Governor Lind
did not appoint him without due
consultation with national demo
cratic leaders. Democrats may
therefore look to Senator Towne
now that he is in position te

Sugar Beet Discovery.

The utilization OF sugar beet waste is
becoming a matter Of interest since our
farmers have turned their attention to
the raising OF the beet and refineries for
the production OF sugar have been estab-
lished in the state.
Until recently no satisfactory process
has been found to reduce to useful form
the valuable Ingredients remaining in
the mass. How to obviate the unpleas-
ant odors and how to dispose Of the dan
gerous waste water also remained un-
solved proolems.
These difficulties were seriously felt,
especially in establishments producing
sugar or alcohol from molasses, as the
residum could not we'll be disposed OF .
1t could not be thrown into the rivers as
it would poison the water and kill the
fish, and when reduced to saline or pot
ash the products Of combustion created
such offensive odors as to bring the
whole neighborhood into a rebellious
condition.
Recently, however, a process has been
invented which obviates all the Difficult
ties mentioned. including bad odors and
dangerous waste water. BY this new
mode the remnants can be ch anged into
dry substance (which can be used as
any other fertilizer.
At cost OF less than 70 cents per 100
pounds fertilizer is produced which il
used by the beet farmers will restore to
the soil in an easily assimilable form,
the properties, especially potassium and
nitrogen, that the beet in its growth de-
prived it Of.
This will be very valuable invention
to the beet sugar factories as we'll as the
farmers, who are obliged to use fertilizer
il their beet fields are to remain produc-
tive. or course the refneries will have
to produce the fertilizing material from
the waste but as it can be done at such
a small expense, about half cent a
pound, there will be no difficulty in dis
posing OF it. 1he waste matter, instead
of an annoying loss, will prove source
of income for the factory and great
convenience for the farmer.-Denver

Will Act In Unison.

New York, Aug. 6-Andrew A. White
United States ambassador to Germany
was passenger on board the Deutsch-
land which reached her dock today from
Hamburg. Mr.. White said in answer te
questions regarding affairs in China
that Emperor Williams speech to the
soldiers who we're going to China was
generally misinterpreted.
HE never" the ambassador said, told
them to give the Chinese no quarter.
Nobody 80 understood his speech until
some French papers put that construe-
ton upon it. The first time heard OF
such an Interpretation was when l re-
eeived certain Paris paper. The en-
peror is an emotional man and he may
be inclined to yield to the impulse Of the
moment. perhaps, but he knows how to
control himself and he certainly never
meant to command his soldiers to be
msrciless. What he did say to them vas
that they should bear in mind that they
were going to face a desperate foe.
He also said: II think it is very likely
both countries have the same cause for
war and both would have common
cause for acting together"
He did not think partition would be
made in China.

Do Not Want More Territory.

Butte, Montana, Aug. 5-Bishop G. b.
Fowler of the M e. church. who has
for many years been q close student OF
the Chinese and spent several years in
China, is in Montana to attend the state
church conference.
In an interview on the Chinese ques-
ton Bishop Fowler said he saw the
growth .nd progress Of the trouble II
years ago and predicted its outbreak
and says the Chinese are 80 situated and
30 strong. and their country is so we'll
fortified, that the world can never con-
quer them.
They have a natural hatred and a su-
preme contempt for all foreigners who
would teach them the civilization they
had 5000 years before there were any
Anelo-Saxons.
"But the main motive that stirs them
to immediate action" said the bishop,
"is the effort of the robber nations OF
Europe to seize on their territory and
while they are not patriotic people and
think the officers out to handle the gov
ernment as they are paid to do it, yet
they despise all foreigners and are bound
to keep their territory from the for
eigners.
"The movement of Russia into Man
churia, and Germany and France and
the other nations that are crowding
down to seize the sea front of China is
what is stirring up the Chinese.
"Ths Roman Catholics have long been
in the field and have = great many ma
tive converts, many moro than Protes-
tants, but they are looked upon as the
natural emissaries of the governments
they represent, and the Chinese feel that
they are there as sort OF spy to report
to the governments of their countrie.
This has somewhat embittered them.
The talk about their antipathy to the
missionaries, as such. is pretty largely
excuses unfounded Of these robber
nations that are trying to break up the
Chinese territory. The opposition to
the missionaries, as such, is about the
same as 10 encountered anywhere else
wherever Christianity is introduced to
no9tneu people.
"The question of settlement. 20 far as
our government 10 concerned, seems to
be to insist upon the integrity OF China,
and on the open door under the most
favored nation clause. This will make
China more accessible to Christianity
and moro accessible to trade than any
other process. II President Mckinley
can obtain the open door he will have
advanced the chances for Christianity in
China by at least century.
The open door means very much to
US in trade. 1t will furnish US market,
keep our industries going, and, while we
are thus blessing them, We will bless
ourselves. We will thus help to main
tain tho integrity Of the Chinese
empire.
England must fight rather than SUBJ
NIT to the dismemberment Of China,
and we cannot afford to see England
driven out of India. Our way is clear.
Get proper reparation for the insult to
our ministers, keep the peace, keep our
treaties and teach them to keep them,
and il possible avoid scramble for
conquest. We do not want any more
territory, and we do not want anything
from China but the open door for the
gospel and for trade"
