THE BEET SUGAR WESTERN OUT
LOOK.

The beet sugar industry in the west
is a big thing now. 1t affects all of
hat great section. It is increasing in
magnitude. We think the beet sugar
product of the world now exceeds that
of the cane, and by a great deal.
A special agent sent out from Wash
ington reports that there is increas-
ing activity in behalf of this import
n product. He reports that many
year. Next autumn" he says Mich
igan will have three new factories and
Ohio, Indiana, New York, Colorado
Utah, South and North Dakota and
Illinois will install new factory enter
prises, making thirteen throughout
the United States in contemplation. A
conservative estimate" he says, lis
that there will be AZ beet sugar fac
tories in operation throughout the
United States by the end of next au-
tumn."
California leads in production and
that 1.-The amount of pulp and refuse
left after the extraction or the sugar
appeals especially to the farmer and
he carollary industries that grow out
of farm products. No other feed is so
valuable and so cheap for the dairy
and stock-feeding interests as the beet
pulp"
As the Messenger recently metioned,
there is an increasing opposition
out there to bringing in Cuba and let
ting down the tariff bars for Porto
Rico sugar. The western men fear the
rivalry, and well they may. for as
mentioned before in this paper. the
sugar product Of Cuba and Porto Rico
is enough to supply the United States
with the required mount. Why is not
the beet sugar industry more utilizing
in the south? Are not the climate and
soil all that could be desired?

The Messenger has given but little
attention to McKinley's long ride. it
has believed that back of any suggest
ed reason for h journey, there was a
political scheme. The c~artoonists un-
derstand that exactly. What he saws
in the way OF little speech-making in
dicates a political resolve. He does not
throw his nicely boiled "tary' as is his
wont. But as the New York World
suggests, instead OF this the presi-
dent has not only reafffrmed his ad-
herence to expansion which he has
good reason to know is popular at the
south, but has boldly limited at a pro-
gressive economic and commercial
policy"
1t is quite right in crediting the cum
ming. adroit political thimble-rigger
with real sagacity. and says there is
no better politician in the ountr than
William Mckinley; and what he hears
with his ear to he ground" is quite
likely Il come to pass"
The trouble with him is he is all poll
tician and but little of the true states
man.. He whirls about on the political
weather-cock like the vane on the
house of our friend n neighbor. ex-
Sheriff Walter MacRae. in April winds.
He hardly points for two days in the
same direction. He is suspected of
planning a flop of some kind as to Por-
to Rico, relative to that detestable,
ridiculous, ubiquitous tariff he and his
gang in the last congress placed upon
people of that island. If he lifts the
tax, as the World says, and perhaps
rightly, it will offend the tobacco
and sugar growers of this country, who
have protested that free trade with
our new possessions will spell ruin to
them. But the president forestalled
this complaint in his Memphis speech
in saying that 'maxims are not as pro-
fitable as markets. and by admonish-
ing his hearers that we must solve
the problems that confront us untram-
melled by the past"
Mckinley is not sensitive to public
censure and is wholly Indifferent to
promises, pledges and policies. He can
flop as easily as Marion Butler can.
He is never trammelled by conscience,
or convictions or records.

FANATICISM AGAIN MOUNTING.

The Boston Herald or some other of
the dailies in that city, insists upon
forcing the south TO take negro suffrage

fools. n fanatics. A Rev. DR.. Gun
saulus in Chicago is believing TO burst

all egroe who are deprived in the
south. We take it. by educational tests
He would physic the south and en-
throne again the negro failure, negro
ignorance, negro incapacity. negro
pliability and any thing else hat is bad
and not to be endured any more. He
cries out:
1T will require a stern heroism at the
north to beat back a wave of supercil-
lou and unmanly prejudice against
the negro which will az practically de-
prive him of his civil rights as that
same prejudice once enslaved him to
the south.
80 long as state sovereignty may
annul constitutional amendments and
destroy the liberty or threaten the bal
lot of an American citizen, be he black
or white. we are utterly unworthy of
the emo of Grant"
There are more blinded fanatics in
the pulpit than can be found in any
other calling. If Illinois wants unre-
strained suffrage let it have it in full.
If it Graves for social equality let it IL
lustrate it in politics, in religion. in
society. 1t is only when the south acts
and lifts a great burden from its
shoulders that sycophantic howlers

REAL HOME SENTIMENT AS TO
GERMANY.

The German officials express regret
at the pronounced feeling in this coun-

Germany is friendly to the United
States. We do not believe hat the
people Of this country have any great
dislike of Germany. Certain scheming
politicians and high tariff devourers
may have for selfish reasons. but not
the people at large. We do not believe
that outside of a small coterie of self
seeking demagogues and robber tariff
tax there can be found such
enemies as are reported. The whole
business is manufactured. The Eng

hand in reporting German hostility to
Uncle Sam, and the retaliating tariff

A VIGOROUS

We have seldom seen from a distin-
guished ource a more %fallacious state
ment than the following from Rev. DIR.
Lyman Abbott in his speech at the
Winston conference:
You must pay either for the school
or for the p~enitentiary. We have learn
ed that it costs the state more to ar
rest a thieving boy and put him in Jail
than it e to e him to school and
teach him not to steal"
This is the idea of the late Horace
Mann, of Massachusetts, when superin-
tendent of public Instruction.. He
thought that education in itself was
the long sought panacea for all ills.
And yet h ~penitentiaries and jails
and work houses of the world are filled
with criminals who are educated, and
some most scholarly. The Messenger
has probed this absurd view of educa-
ton frequently and only a few months
since. We are gratified to find our
able contemporary at Columbia S. c.,
the State. seeing this in it's true light
and using its Faber to prick a delusicn
and a sham. We make an extract
which is in harmony with what the
years:
'It is certain that a little book learn
ing is not a safeguard against crime.
Some of n worst criminals are men
that have enjoyed excellent educational
opportunities. If a man is criminally
inclined. superior mental development
will only moEo him q ronro do N OovOryc
citizen. We venture the assertion that
a majority of the inmates of our PEN
itentiary can read and write. This is
not an argument against universal
education. but it shows that we must
not expect too much from the schools.
They cannot transform the mans ma
ture and make saints out of sinners"
The truth is tina not one third of the
worlds teachers. as we hold, are real
Christians and have no genuine saving
interest in the precious blood OF the
Covenant. They are simply incapable
of making Christians of children or
imparting a correct knowledge OF what
they do not possess.
We have seen a calculation of Pres
ident Dabney. OF Tennessee. formerly a
professor in our famous university, as
to the great wage earning productive
ness Of Massachusetts, over all other
state-producing far more to the indi-
vidual han any other state, n pay
ing double as much wages to the work
er as Tennessee pays. This is copied to
show what education can do-universal
education. We ask first, is it a fact
that there are no illiterates in Massa-
chusetts? Second. is not the high
wage and the large production owing
more to the vast manufacturing inter
ests than to general education? Mass
achusetts for an entire century has been
living n flourishing off the whole
country. 1t began that way so SOC as
Washington became president.

HILLS DECLARATION CREDIBLE.

Ex-senator Hill seems 10 be almost
as Disturbing an element in politics as
Colonel Bryan. The latter is a target
Of all disgruntled democrats who for
five years have been coquetting with
republicans and INDUCING in 'benevo-
ent assimilation" with the party they
once professed TO hate. Colonel Bryan
declares that he is not now a candi-
date for the presidency, but he is still
rubbed roughly by republicans and half
and half organs. Mr.. Hill has declared
that he is not seeking a nomination in
1904. But this merely provokes more
captious criticism. and it is insinuated
that he is a hypocrite, a sneak, a liar
who is really doing what he can ito
get there" Mr.. Hill is a s%agacious,
able man. and while the Messenger is
not so partial to him as his supporters,
it thinks him wise and truthful when he
declares:

Dental nomination in 1904. / am neith-
er seeking the nomination nor expect
ing it. I regard all suggestions OF
candidates at this time as premature

ON TO FAYETTEVILLE AND THE
STATE FOR CHRIST.

lar from Prof. c., II. Crowell, Of High
Point, who is president Of h North
Carolina Sunday school association 1t
is a non-denominational movement in
behalf of the important Sunday school
cause and the study of the Holy Bible.
1t is a good and gracious cause and if
pressed properly must do much good
in awakening a ~profounder interest in

held at Fayetteville and next year.
The president urges its claims upon an
