CONTEMPLATING SUGAR DUTf.

The sugar producers of Louisiana are
said to be taking a very active interest
In the question before the secretary of
the treasury as to whether the beet
sugar from Russia should pay the coun-
tervailing duty provided In the Dingley
tariff for imported sugars on which an
export bounty Is paid. The Louisiana
producers assert that the suspension of
the countervailing duty in the case of
Russian beet sugar has caused con
siderable loss to the domestic interest
and that If continued 1t will ruin the in
dustry. This appears rather extrava-
CANT statement in view of the fact that
the value of Russian beet sugar i'm
ported into the United States last year
was only $34O,OOO. ..
The matter to be determined is
whether the Russian government pays a
bounty, directly or indirectly, upon
sugar exported from that country. If
1t does, simple justice to other coun-
tries that pay bounty requires that
the countervailing duty be collected on
the sugar from Russia, regardless OF
the threat of that government to re-
taliatc by imposing heavy duties on
American manufactures. In that event
we should undoubtedly lose some Rus
sian trade, but we should not discrim-
mate in matter of this kind. The
beet sugar interest is united with the
Louisiana producers in urging that the
Russian sugar should pay the counter
yailing duty.

ChiCagO'S Tax Problem

T.. Allen Frost in
To the taxpayers the finances OF the city
OF Chicago are Chinese puzzle In the
face OF constantly increasing tax collections
the growing poverty OF the city government
is regarded by the property owner as an
indication OF ineffioient administration of
the city moneys. The comptroller repeat.
edly Is criticised for a condition which
arises from the system not from the prac-
tca workings Of the government
II Is not generally understood that the
city OF Chicago performs seven-tenths OF
the work done within Its limits with three.
tenths OF the revenue. To this fact may be
attributed the straitened condition in
which the council and the city ofiicials fnd
the city treasury on the eve OF new fiscal
year. Until this condition is remedied relief
cannot be obtained.
There are great inequalities in taxation in
this city. That the total burden of taxa
tion in Chicago for all purposes is high in
proportion to the taxation In other cities is
by no means established. IL is not the in
tention to make comparison with the rates
OF taxation and the amounts OF taxation in
other cities, but 1t may be said that the
total rate and the total amount OF taxation
levied upon the property and the people OF
the city of Chicago are much less in pro-
United States.
The total tax levy in 1888 amounted to
s14 6S1. .040. As, and in 1899 the total taxes had
increased to $24, ,675, ,60123, being an increase
of 6S per centum and an amount OF 9,994,-
SCOTS. Out Of the taxes Of 1888 the city OF
Chicago realized for corporate purposes in
actual cash 81. 1872 900, or 21.31 per centum
OF the total levied. Out OF the taxes Of 1899
the city realized in cash for corporate pur-
poses s.22l. .904.37, or 17.ll per centum Of
the total levied.
The following table shows the comparison
OF the area population, taxes and cash for
corporate purposes OF the years 1883 and
1900 in the city OF Chicago:

NATURAL. FEAR IN HORSES,

NATURAL FEAR IN HORSES
"While horses are not subject to
nerves. like human beings, they are
all more or less timid," remarked fa-
nous horse breeder to Washington
Star writer. "Fear in horses is due to
the fact that they are inclined TO mag
Nifty the unusual into the terrible, and
night and twilight predispcses them to
this nervous condition. Understand
ing Or investigating these things, how
ever, often removes all fear in a horse's
mind. For instance, ! have a pony
which when first put into harness
could not be induced to cross rail-
road track until one day I urged the
beast to touch one of the rails with
his hoof. Finding it secure, he will.
ingly trusted the other foot, and since
then has never shown any fear of the
glistening rails. On the other hand
l once had mare which always jump
ell over the long shadows Of. tree
trunks in the road and could never be
induced to test whether or not the
dreadful things were real or imaginary.
Another curious illusion common
among horses is that when one has
once struck his head against the top of
a stable door he can never quite get
over the fear that there is something
dreadful hanging about that door,
ready to strike whenever he has to
pass it. Perhaps horses have to live
on in this uninterrupted fear because
they have so few organs with which
they may experiment. The elephants
trunk and the monkeys tail are about
the only organs in the animal kingdom
which seems to have been created ex-
pressly for the purpose of finding out
things that look strange or dangerous.

S1JccEssr11L TOBACCO RAISING.

SUCCESSFUL TOBACCO RAISING
Successful tobacco raising depends up
OH strict attention to many details, and
if they are not attended to at the pro-
per time, failure is certain. Burn
your beds well, and manure them with
hen manure, and do not SOW the seed
too thickly, for stout plants are essen
'tial. Plant in well prepared land.
Give rapid but shallow culture, gradual
ly bringing up little soil to the plant
with hoe. Top at from 10 to II
leaves, and keep off worms and suckers.
When the bottom leaves are ripe, break
off and tic four in bunch and loop
on a common tobacco stick. AS your
tobacco ripens, keep on priming 10 the
top. Now, if you do not understand
the curing, you had better hire some
one who does. Go slow and watch for
sweat. If you have done your part
we'll it will sell for $40 to $50 per
hundred at present prices, but if you
are gwen to much sleep and take
many holidays, you will have the long
est face in town when selling day
comes. Orinoco and Improved
Flanagan are best. - W. II. Lambert,

HIS PINT" ."-The logic of some
Bible readers reminds us of the story
of an cid colored preacher who made
the assertion in his pulpit that every
woman had seven devils in her. He
was promptly challenged by the irate
female members of his flock to make
good his assertion. He announced that
on certain Sunday he would give
Scripture proof Of what he said.
When the time came he gave the
proof as follows Brudders and Sis
ters, you have all done heard and read
dat dc Lord cast seven debbcls out of
one woman. But, brudders and sis-
ters, you had not done heard and read
dat he cast de debbils out of any
udder woman. Derefore, of de Lord
only cast do debbils out of one woman, ,
