THE SUGAR WAR.
Gigantic Plan Of the Trust to Break
Beet SUGAR Companies.

| Sioux City, Nov. 9.-The war between
| the beet and cane sugar interests has
| resulted in cut of 100 points in the
/ sugar market for Missouri river points
| and the fulflllment in this section Of a
/ gigantic plan to break the back of the
beet sugar companies. This cut was
made st a meeting of the jobbers of the
| Missouri valley, held at Omaha yester-
| day. and announced here today, and as
| long as the price is held out it will re-
suit in the sale of sugar to the consum-
| er at from twenty to twenty-five
pounds for a dollar.
The Sioux City wholesale grocers were
represented at the Omaha conference
yesterday by w. w. Howell, of Des
Moines for the Warfeld-Pratt-How
Company and William Warfield for the
Tolerton & Statson Company.
The cut of 81 in the sugar market is
to be good only in Nebraska, Kansas,
parts of Missouri, Council Bluffs and
Sioux City.
The cut in the market is confined to
this territory because the beet sugar
people, whose plants are largely To-
Gated along the Missouri river, cannot
deliver outside of this territory at a
profit. and the cane sugar people are
willing to sacrifice 81 per 100 pounds to
force the beet interests out of this mar
ket.
The beet sugar plants have made con-
tracts with the grocery jobbers in this
territory to furnish sugar at 10 POINTS
below the market price of the cane SUI
gar. These contracts made possible by
the nroximity of the beet sugar plants,
resulted in these jobbers selling almost
entirely beet sugar. The Havemeyer In
terests, or the American Sugar Refinery
Company. discovered that such con-
tracts We're being made ard resolved
upon course that would either force
the beet sugar people to refuse TO full
fill their contracts or lose money.
This price of 81 below the regular quo
tation was made to the Missouri valley
jobbers, and they called a meeting to
decide where the price should De applic-
able The Omaha meeting was held en-
tirely in the interests of the jobbers
themselves. They wished to protect the
jobbers outside of this territory, and
consequently agreed not to sell at the
reduced price except in Nebraska, Kan
sas, parts of Missouri and the two Iowa
city, Sioux City and Council Bluffs In
this way the Des Moines, Minneapolis,
st. Paul and other jobbers are protected
from competition of Missouri river
points at these reduced prices
The beet sugar companies have re-
fused to fill orders at 10 points below
the new price made by the cane sugar
Interests. They announce that they Will

resentatives have assured rne jobhers
that they Will ship sugar at once at the
new price. The jobbers. however. are
selling at the new figure subject TO de-
livery to them, and only in small lots.
As soon as the new market price is
established. it is the plan for the job
bers to carry their contracts with the
beet people into the courts and force
them to deliver at ten points below the
dollar cut, at s1.lO below what the mar
ket has been. A number of the job
bers have expressed a Willingness to do
this. but 1t remains to be seen whether
they will carry out this intention.

 There is no doubt that at its approacn, ing commencement Harvard will confer upon President Mckinley the honorary degree of doctor of laws.
 This is a proper honor to pay to the President. and one not undeserved by the man. If he had remained merely mem Der of Congress from Ohio. doubtless Harvard might not have considered him for doctorate: yet he is an able man. has been for many years careful stu denr of public questions, is one of the most accomplished orators in the ooun- try. and will sustain the title aside from his official prominence. as weIl as many others so dignihed. in the past

ExpIoslye Steam ,rom Montaomerx.

Col. R. B. Kyle of Gadsden, having in mind the comfort of the constitutional convention, and therefore its capacity for good work, suggested an adjourn ment of the body to Birmingham, be- cause of its superior auditorium, and likewise because of it's superior hotels. The esteemed Advertiser has at times mentioned the shortcomings of Mont gomery in the respect of hotels, and, if memory serves us correctly, it has also mentioned the poor acoustics of it's auditorium. And yet It flies at Colonel Kyle like mad bull.
 None of its points are however well taken. It intimates that the conven- tion cannot legally sit outside of Mont gomery, when the fact is, the body Is sovereign, and can adjourn to the top of Sand Mountain if it so desires. Sessions could legally be held on Look out, for there is no power higher than the convention. Courts can construe its action, but no court can otherwise touch the will of the sovereign people and that Is what the convention by vir- tue of the principle of representation is.
 The attack of the Advertiser upon Colonel Kyle personally is in bad taste. He has not constituted himself "a guardian" or the guardian" of any, thing. Tn a quiet, unobtrusive and un- answerable manner he showed that lDe Montgomery hotels are inadequate; that the hall of the house of represen- talives is small and sweltering; that the auditorium of Montgomery has not been put in condition 10 accomo- date the convention; and he suggested that Birmingham take steps to relieve the members of the convention from prolonged stay in Montgomery's 'ill ventilated rooms" The Age Herald sees nothing in lnese suggestions that calls for personal abuse. Colonel Kyle is quite as much of an Alabamian as is the Advertiser. He has quite as good a right to offer advice as the Ad- vertiser has, and so far as one can now see his advice is quite as good as any the Advertiser offers.
 Colonel Kyle is altogether able to take care of himself; he needs no de- lenders; but the intolerance of the es. tee11ed Advertiser does need mention at least. Delegates and individuals should consider themselves free to offer suggestions touching the forma- ton of new organic law, and no one need fear the bile of the Advertiser thereat.
