the Columbia seemed n mile ahead,
when sudden cant of the wind al-
lowed the Shamrock to point nearer
the mark, and n mile from home the
challenger appeared to be leading by
fully half mile.
The talent began to feel nervous but
as the yachts approached the finish
the Yankee skipper, by some miracu-
lous legerdermnin, showed his boat in
to the light air like a phantom ship

contest followed. whistles. sirens,
bells, bands and cheers united in a
grand chorus of jublilation, and ]. p.
Morgan's steam yacht Corsair added
to the terrific din by firing national
salute OF twenty-one guns.
After the Columbia had hauled down
her sails and set her victory flag the
excursion boats crowded alongside to
cheer the Yankee sailors and the win
ming skipper. Nor did they forget
either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
side the Shamrock and Erin and the
vanquished received almost as much
honor ns the victor. And thus, with
felicitations all around. the twelfth Sc
ries of races for the old cup which the
schooner America brought over fifty
years ago, ended with the best of feel
ing.
While taking his defeat gamely, Sir
Thomas Upton made no attempt to
conceal his honest disappointment
when he talked about the races.

San Francisco, Oct. Accommodating
upon the reduction of the price of SUI
gar in the Missouri market by the SUI
gar trust, Henry Il. OXnard. president
of the American Beet Sugar AssOcia-
tion. defined it rs another move to
crush out beet sugar production in Or
der that the trust might have no op-
position.
.If they can succeed in the Missouri
river valley" said he, they Will then
turn their attention to the beet factor
les in Michigan and other sections,
and by the power of concentrated cap
ital crush out successfully and indi-
viduaIly the beet sugar producers. The
trust tries to deceive the public by
claiming that the beet producers can
still make money Mt the low price 1t
is trying to establish. This Is false,
and If 1t had been true. then the trust
would have tried to establish still
lower price. They are not sacrificing
1H cents per pound in the Missouri
river markets to make Il price that
will still be profitable to the beet sugar
men.
But this particular move on the
part of the sugar trust Will fall Hat.
The beet sugar factories will not sell
their sugar in the Missouri river valley

fraction of that ~ cents will move
their sugar to every other market in
the United States What the next
move of the trust will be remains to

New York, Oct 4.-With victory
flags floating from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her spreadcrs in
honor of her concluding triumph in the
cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Co.
lumbia returned TO her anchorage to-
night under the escort of the entire
excursion fleet.
She to-day completed her defense of
the honored trophy in another stirring
race with the Shamrock H., over lee
ward and windward race of thirty
miles, crossing the finish line two sec
onds behind her antagonist, but Win
ming on the time allowance conceded
by the Upton boat by forty-one sec

from her possession the cup that means
the yachting supremacy of the world.
And plucky Sir Thomas Upton. stand

The series of races just closed will

STATE OFFICERS MAY BE TRIED
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

Denver, Oct. 5.-The News this
morning says: The attorneys for the
corporations Interested in the suits
brought to test the constitutionality of
the new revenue law will institute con-
tempt proceedings against Attorney
General Charles @. Post, Secretary A. B.
Gray of the State Bonrd of Assessors,
and the thirteen county assessors con-
stituting the State Board of Assessors.
They will be brought on the grounds
that the injunction of Judge Dixon of
the Pueblo court was violated when
Secretary Gray certified out to the
county treasurers for collection the alb
stracts of assessment of the corporate
properties. In doing that he acted un-
der instructions from the members of
the State Board of Assessors. The
corporation attorneys aver that Attor-
ney General Post advised the assessors
to ignore Judge Dixon's injunction re-
straining them from acting, and that
under his advice they extended the fig
ures, swOre to them and instructed
their secretary to certify them out. A
number of the abstracts were certified

A deal of humor has been expended
on American tea gardens and no man
was more ridiculed than William G..
LIE Due, of Minnesota, for expressing
the belief when he had charge of the
old agricultural bureau that American
tea drinkers would one day be getting
all the tea they wanted out of American
soil. The South Carolina tea culture
has been often described, but Mrs.
Ellis writes in more hopeful vein
than others. After inaugurating tea
culture in 1881 the government gave
it up in 1883 on the ground that cli-
matte conditions were unfavorable,

then undertook to produce the tea and
was aided by the government with tea
seed from Asia. Near Summerville. s.

LIGHT AHEAD

Some of our correspondents do not
share in the view that the masses Of
the voters OF the couRtry are ripe for
a victorious consolidation against the
rule of the Republican and Democratic
parties. They have seen the rise and
fall of previous political uprisings,
movements that appeared to be on the
verge of carrying everything before
them, only to be crushed out by the
action, premeditated or otherwise, Of
men within such organizations. But
il must be remembered that accom-
panying each of these protests against
old party misrule and systems there
has been waged q campaign of educa-
ton on the same vital principles until
today the voter who has not studied to
some extent the correct principles and
systems of government, is an exception
rather than the rule. He may have
gathered his information from crude
sources, but he has heard enough to set
him thinking and when this has been
accomplished the ruughest of the road
is passed. AS we view it there are at
least 100000 voters-perhaps more
ready at this moment to march to the
poll under the independent reform ban
ner. The gold bugs are again in the
saddle in the Democratic. party, and no
relief is expected from the Republican
party. Reformers will get together;
there is no doubt about that. It may be
under the name OF Peoples party, or a
new name may be adopted, but the prin-
ciples will be correct. There is nothing
but encouragement in the political hori-
zon for reformers. Let the fight be
pushed with all the energy and fire
which characterized the movement, in
'92 and '94.-Missouri World.
