The War on Beet Sugar.

The American Sugar Refining Com
pany. otherwise known as the sugar
trust, recently began a war upon the
beet sugar industry. by cutting the
price of granulated to 31e cents a
pound at Missouri river points. This
has been followed by reduction of
price in all states from Colorado to
California amounting to 80 cents a
hundred pounds on beet sugar and 20
cents on cane sugar. The object is to
deal a blow to the beet sugar manu-
:acturers in their own territory. The
recent report of Secretary Wilson on
the beet sugar industry estimates the
total product of 1901 at 1875 500 tons. OF
which 10000 tons come from the Pa
cific coast and Rocky Mountain states,
besides 1000 tons from Nebraska. Cali
fornia, with an annual output of SO.-
900 tons, is the leading producer.

The Connecticut Election.

The result of the vote in the consti-
tutionll amendment election in Con-
necticut last Monday is the adoption
of two amendments, which are now a
part of the organic law-namely: the
election of state officers by plurality
vote and the enlargement of the state
senate The first of these reforms was
carried by a majority Of over 10000
and the second by over $4,000.
The main feature of interest, how
ever, was the vote upon the PROPOSE
ton to call constitutional convention
for the purpose of securing reform in
repr esentation and doing away with
the anomaly of little town or village
having the same power in the legisla-
tire as a city The sectional character
of constitutional reform is illustrated
in the returns of the election. OF the
city registered vote only 50 per cent
waa polled and in the country towns
S3 per cent. but the urban vote was
substantially solid for the convention,
as well as the vote of the larger fac
rory towns. The seventeen cities of
the state gave 30,024 majority for the
