NOW INMATES OF AN ASYLUM
johnson Children Sent to Institution
for Orphans at Twin
Bridges.

The troubles OF the pretty little John
son children are over for the present
for they are now inmates of the Orphan
Asylum at Twin Bridges. They had been
provided with clothing and other ne
cessities by the Associated Charities for
months, but the mother would not give
them up to the authorities to care for
permanently.
When Mrs. johnson was arrested on
a charge of disturbing the peace in con-
nection with the Horn family she took
the two children to Jail with her. After
much persuasion she finally, when an
order from the court was presented by
the Associated Charities officers, let the
babies go to the Paul Clark home.
There they We're thoroughly cleaned
and washed and put in whole clothing.
Then the baby girl ran away from the
home and was taken to the Jail by
Miss Larkin. When the Matron, Mrs.
King, went after the child it was
charged that she handled the child
roughly and the mater was taken up by
the papers. AS soon as Mrs. Johnson
was free she again neglected her ba-
hies it is said, and the county authors
ties acted in the mater. the commits
sioners themselves sending the children
to the asylum.
Mrs. johnson has returned to her home
again and the children will remain at
Twin Bridges. The father has given his
consent and will let them remain there,
visiting them occasionally. They are
exceptionally pretty and bright children
and will develop into children to be
proud Of.

II Sewall Davis is good observer,
one Of the greatest parafine oil discov-
cries west of the Mississippi has just
been made. He returned last night from
Elko, New. near wh1,e the oil fields are
located, and Is enthusiastic in his de-
scription of the property.
II made thorough inspection of the
ground" he said land do not hesitate
to say that I have never seen anything
else like it. The basin where the oil is
found COMPRISES about 10000 acres, and
no part of it is more than three miles
from railway. while one of the natural
divisions is barely one mile from Elko.
"The geological indications for oil are
better than those of any other known
part of the globe. Every oil expert who
h examined the ground is of this opin-
ion. The rim of the basin is a heavy,
quartzite reef. impervious to fluids. A
stratum of conglomerate is on top Of
this. Then comes a stratum of gravel,
followed by stratum of fine Oil sand,
about 1000 feet deep, a stratum Of fine
sandstone, another stratum or Trenton
limestone, and stratum of fine white
sand about 200 feet thick.
There are strata of paraffine shales
through the fossil lime so rich they can
be lighted with match. The outcrop
of limestone, when freshly broken, emits
strong odor of petroleum Scattered
over the surface of the territory are sand
dunes four feet high. which have been
forced up by the grass below
Within the next ninety days five oil
boring machines will be on the ground
having capacity Of from 1900 to 1900
feet. Wells will be sunk at the rate Of
from ten to fifty feet day. Il is ex.
| pected that oil will be found at depth
| Of 400 feet. If the fields pan out. Elke

Slavery n the Philippines.

A dispatch from Manila states that
In the Philippine group has issued
proclamation prohibiting slavery or
slave trading in his district announc-
ing o be unfavorable to progress
The Philippines commission the same
dispatch says has passed a resolution
thanking the chief for his action
Some of the critics who are very anx-
ious to discredit their own country
have insisted that the United States
is tolerating slavery under the flag.
The truth is that the government will
wipe out slavery in the Philippines at
the earliest possible moment. If 1t
can be done peacably and with the
consent and cooperation of the chiefs
where 1t prevails, as in the case men,
toned. so much the better. There
are 1900 islands in the archipelago.
Time will be required to deal with
them all and diplomacy is good weap-
on to employ as far as 1t accords with
honorable principles.
Every step taken In the Philippines
has been in behalf OF the enlightened
freedom of the inhabitants. Some
OF the chiefs where slavery existed
will be willing to abolish it for prop
er consideration, and emancipation
by purchase is not a new idea, nor is
it rated inferior to forcible means
Slavery has not been the only form
of despotism in the Philippines. All
of the islanders were more or less in
bondage when the United States put
down the arbitrary power OF revolu-
tonary chiefs. provincial rulers. relig-
ious orders and Spanish soldiers
BY patient methods slavery and slave
trading have been declared at an end
by the most important chief In the
district of Iamboango, and back of
his act Is the policy to he pursued by
the United States.-St. Louis Globe.

OF recent happenings IN late Dsmo-
cratic conventions. A serious rup-
ture was promised several months
ago when Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin fell out in South Carolina 1t
was realized at the time that the Till
man and McLaurin wings OF the
Democracy merely formed the shadow
of coming events. The South Caro-
lima quarrel was simply warning OF
the shock which would rend the Dem
ocracy apart from fusion. The ac-
tion off the Ohio Democracy has wild
ened the breach so that even the most
unthinking must see. and the final
separation cannot be long delayed.
Just what strength Mr.. Bryan will
develop at the head of a third party
is problematical, bnt it is certain that

Premium on iiliteracy.

The Atlanta Constitution takes the
ground that when Southern consti-
tutional convention or Legislature sets
to work to place premium on color
ed diligence without giving cores
ponding incentive to the white youth
of theland 1t Is sowing trouble. Tho
Atlanta paper says the state of Geor-
gia has refused to go into suffrage dis
elimination. The white people of the
state. it asserts. have always been
able to manage their difficulties, and
IL the Georgia policy in regard to suf
frage is continued the time will come
when there will he no negro problem.
because those of the race who have
been educated and who have accumu-
lated property will find that their in
terests are Identical with those of the
like class among the whites. An
attempt at Acknowledgement was be-
gun in Georgia. but the legislature, it
will be remembered, quickly conclud-
ed to drop it.
In Louisiana. Mississippi, South Car
olina and North Carolina, with Ala
bama soon to follow. the white illit-
crate may vote. but the black illiterate
is cut off Thus. as the Atlanta Jour
nal truly says. the colored child is
given stronger inducement to learn
to read than is extended to the white
child. Eventually the disfranchising
states may discover that white illit-
eracy is increased by the provision.
One of the difficulties in the south is
illiteracy as whole. Certain
Southern states now assure the white
boy that he will be allowed to vote
whether ne can read or not. while the
| black boy is informed that he cannot
vote unless he can read. Manifest.
ly this is not a good way to promote
a progressive spirit among the poor
white trash Georgia's Legislators

The Battle Between Beet Root and
Cane Sugar.
Chicago Record-Herald).

(ChicagO Record-Herald).
The most interesting event in the
industrial development of the next
decade will be the struggle for the mas
terry of the worlds markets for sac
charine products between cane sugar
and beet sugar. Incidental to this
conflict will be the final and abso-
lutte supremacy of this country among
the sugar-producing nations.
That such a struggle is pending is
plainly evident from the latest statis-
ties of beet sugar production in this
country. The total output for this
year is now estimated at four hun
dred millions of pounds. which is 10
the United States. OF this amount
Chicago, which is one day to become
the center of the worlds sugar mar
ket, will handle about 40,000,00O
pounds. The output for the state of
Michigan for this year alone is placed
at 120,000000 pounds. Notwithstand-
ing this enormous output. California
still maintains the lead as the great
est sugar producer, the Spreckels fac
tory alone having a daily capacity of
200 carloads.
When 1t is remembered that the
present phdlominal output of beet
sugar is the result of only about six
years development and that the in
dustry is practically in it's infancy
SO Far as this country is concerned
it will be seen that its possibilities
are beyond present calculation.
For about four months after Sep
tember beet sugar will practically
monopolize the market from Ohio to
the Pacific ocean. But the abdica-
ton on the part of cane sugar is only
for brief period. The world of SUI
gar consumers is still dependent upon
the cane. In this connection 1t is
interesting to note the amazingly rap
id recovery of the cane sugar indus.
try in Cuba. The crop in Cuba this
year will be about 600, 900 tons, and in
a short time the production will no
doubt reach 100000 tons annually
AS the United States takes the EN-
tire output of Cuba. it will be seen
that the Cuban sugar industry is to
become and important factor in the
battle royal between beet and cane SUI
gar. These figures also portend the
ultimate control of the sugar market
of the world blythe q nitedStates and
Cuba against all European bounties
and other governmental devices for
giving artificial stimulation to the in
