STILL FROTHING.

"Hollering" about the Supreme Courts
decision which forbids a comparison of
names and ballots is the total of the
Globe-Democrat's fraud crusade Know
Ing that Republicans are anxious to
drop the contest instituted by Mr..
Parker against Mayor Wells, the deci-
sion is seized upon with purpose of
woodworking n few uninformed or
thoughtless persons about the real rea-
son.
Judge Spencer, before whom the cleo
ton contest cases of Hedgdon against
Hancock and Lloyd against Funkhouser
are being tried, yesterday handed down
an order in conformity with the decision
of the Supreme Court.
1t may be just as well to note exactly
what the order permits. 1t directs the
Board Of Election Commissioners Ito
open, count and compare with the list
Of voters and examine the ballots in
their Office which were cast at the cleo
ton In the city of st. Louis November
6. 1900, and to make return and certify
under their hand and official seal to this
court of such count, comparison and ex-
animation SO far as the same relates to
the office of Assistant District Attorney
Tor COroner) of the city Of st. Louis, and
in SO certifying they shall intelligently
distinguish between ballots which We're
counted and others which were re-
tected."
Another paragraph in the order says
hot h0 v,osc c1o1
permit the contestants and their at
torneys to examine fully said ballots
and their report to the court shall in
clude all the facts which either contest
or or contestee may desire, which may
appear from said ballots affecting or re-
lating to said election"
1t is difficult to see how Mr.. Parker
will suffer by compliance with the Su.
preme Courts decision. Every oppor
tunity is afforded for the detection of
fraud or error; the single exception
being comparison of names with bal
lots.
While preserving the secrecy of the
ballot, the law does not impede Mr..
Parker's proof Of the claim that thou
sands Of repeaters visited the polls, that
several thousand votes were counted
out that several thousand more were
counted In, that voters were inundated
and kept away from the polls and that
votes cast for Parker were counted for
Wells.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Parker and the
Globe-Democrat, the public knows that
most Of these things did not occur and
none In any great numbers. Mayor
Wells was elected-elected honestly.
There were frauds and the Circuit At
torney is eonvicting the men guilty Of
them. A bipartisan committee could
find only sixteen cases Of fraud deemed
worthy Of indictment. Sixteen cases!'
smokers the Globe Democrat. Small
wonder. The official legal representa-
tive Of its own campaign managers
could find no more.
Why does not the Globe Democrat
take Mr.. johnson to task? He had
ample funds with which to find re-
peaters, ballot-box suffers, intimidators
and the like. He was recognized rs the
party's legal adviser. Has he been
weary in welIdoing? Or is it simply
that the gross and wholesale robbery
Of the ballot" did not occur?
Why does not the Globe Democrat
take a common-sense cure for its
spasms? Why not quit "hollering' and
help good officials do their duty?

Washington, July 2.-Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson predicts the most glowing
era in history for the agricultural interests
of the country during the new fiscal year
which has just begun.
1--WE are now pushing investigations and
experiments along a great many lines,
said Mr.. Wilson to-day. "Our agricultural
exports maintained their position in the fis-
cal year just closed. and, compared with
some years past, increased appreciably.
Zone of the principal objects which this
department has in view is to enable the
people Of the United States to produce the
agricultural products we are now purchas-
ing from foreign countries. The principal
product we purchase from other nations IS
sugar. This commodity comprises nearly
e-fourth Of the total of products I'M
ported.
1.-THE department in the past has been
making experiments to ascertain In just
what sections Of the country sugar can be
raised to such advantage as to obviate the
necessity of going to foreign markets TO
complete our supply. We want to raise
heets. as therein lies the principal source
Of the sugar product.
within the United States there Will be
over forty heet-sugar factories in operation
by next fall They will be situated In al
most every State along the northern border
from New York to California. I believe
that within few years We will produce all
the sugar we require. and We will then be
in position to ignore the foreign product
when this result shall be attained the
Sugar Trust will, in my opinion. vanish, for
the reason that the trust refines imported

NJ. CAMBoN AND THE WEST.

NJ. Jules Cambon, French Ambassador
to the United States Government, who
has just returned to Washington from
a tour of the American Middle West
and who is now about to sail for France,
is evidently keen observer and an In
telligent critic Of American conditions.
The French diplomat has been pro-
foundry impressed by the Western spirit
Of enterprise, advancement and healthy
culture. 1t was likely that he did not
expect much from the West. He had
been thrown more largely with Ameri-
cans of the Eastern States and he in
Inmates himself that these Americans
have a trick of belittling the West But
NJ. Cambon possesses eyes Of his own
and refuses to look through any other
mans spectacles. He saw the West,
truly and clearly, and it amazed him.
NJ. CambOn declares that II he were
asked to make prediction as to where
the center Of influence Of this country
would be some years from now he
would point to that region extending
from Pennsylvania on the east to the
Mississippi on the West. Right at the
most salient point Of advantage on the
western edge of this progressive region
stands st. Louis. its trade territory Gov
ering East and West and North and
South. The Worlds Fair of 1903 will
focus the worlds eyes on st. Louis, the
metropolis that connects these four
great sections of the Union. The terri
tory covered by St. Louis win from now
on receive an international attention
which it has never before known. The
great Middle West Of the United States
will indeed be seen by all peoples as the
heart Of the Union.
The French Ambassador will certain
" come to see us during the Worlds
Fair period. He will then behold the
biggest, best and most beautiful Worlds
Fair yet known to history. he will find
himself in the solidest and most healthi-
ly progressive city in the United States.
And he will discover good reason for his
confident prediction Of the surprising
influence Of the Middle West at the
same time that he salutes st. Louis as
the metropolis Of the Middle West.

Is IT sLANpER2

It has been freely charged that seven
teen members Of the House of Delegates
have combined to control appointments
under the city administration. Certain
persons, who claim to be well informed,
believe that the combine is organized
for personal objects. The action Of the
House Of Delegates in regard to the
general appropriation bill has increased
this talk and gossip.
Less than a month ago, Speaker
Cronin, at the New st. Louis" banquet,
promised his hearty support to the work
embodied in the declarations of that
evening. He made the right sort Of
speech. He promised to serve st. Louis
and pledged his friends in the lower
branch Of the Municipal Assembly to
the same end.
After the failure Of the temporary ap-
preparation bill, a skeleton general APP
preparation bill was introduced in the
City Council as has always been the
custom. After being twice read the
measure was referred to the Ways and
Means Committee. AS members of the
House of Delegates claimed to have
been ignored in framing the temporary
bill, members Of the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House Of Delegates
were invited to sit with the like COM
mittee from the Council to consider the
various items.
This method was deemed the more ex-
pedient in view Of the pressing need Of
all the departments of the city. Last
week, before the regular Friday meeting
of the Municipal Assembly, the items in
the bill were all agreed upon, with the
single exception Of the appropriation for
the posse comitatus, an obligation that
will have to be paid il the credit Of the
city is to be maintained. The bill with
the posse comitatus item was reported
favorably In the Council.
In harmony with the charges that
have been made against the House COM
bine, Chairman Sweeney introduced the
same bill, with the posse Item omitted,
In the House of Delegates. This was a
breach Of faith with the Council. It
was sharp practice. By calling special
meetings ON Saturday and Monday. the
House bin was passed and sent to the
Council When objections to the pro
ceedings :, were attempted, Speaker
Cronin made rough-shod rulings. The
whole proceeding was coarse. -
