Il SUGAR MOVEMENT.

1t is quite generally understood that
the sugarstrust is afraid Of the growing
beet sugar interests in this country and
Is attempting to crush them out. First.
1t lowered the price OF sugar to make 1t
Improbable to market the product of
beet growers. and now 1t is engaged in
an effort to create sentiment in favor OF
taking off the tariffs in order TINT the
nearly s4s,oOo00o paid in duty may go
into the pockets of the people. . in as
much as the national treasury does not
need 1t. It is shown that the sugar
consumption this years Win be about q
: 3eo, 1856 tons. the greater partsof which
{ is produced In this country, Hawaii and
Porto Rico, on which no duty. is paid,
leaving balance of about 1850. 1856 tons
on which duties to the amount OF $4S.-
4 9sl, $50 will be paid Now while sugar
rehners and a big combination may de-
sire that the duty be taken of they are
not doing 1t IN the interests of the dear
people or the sugar producers Of our
country Indeed. the Louisiana planter

sugar trust will get the biggest share

\ 1t win enable 1t to do much to crush out
thu beet sugar interests and to COM
mand the field for such prices as 1t Is
inclined to dictate. It would be an ideal
condition for the big sugar interest. But
the public will study the subject care
fully before falling in with these benev-
olent ideas.
Even with the duty on sugar, the peo-
\ pie do not feel the burden of the tax. It
Is only when the trust shoves up fig
pres in its own behalf that attention
L is attracted. Never was sugar finer in
quality or cheaper In retail price thar
+ it has been in recent years. The fact
Z that the beet sugar interests and thu
southern cane interests are getting or
their feet thru the aid of this duty, an6
by competition will be able to defy ths
big combination hereafter. doubtless in
spires the sugar trust TO urge that the

HARRlsoN's ESTIMATE OF ROOSEVELT

HARRlSON'S ESTIMATE OF ROOSEVELT.
The November Success" publishes an
interesting and comprehensive estimate
OK President Roosevelt, written by the
late President Harrison in 1895. Mr..
Harrison knew the president intimately,
and selected him as a possible presiden-
tial candidate. Part OF Mr.. Harrison's
article is as follows:
Should Mr.. Roosevelt aspire to become
president of the United States, I believe
that he will ultimately be successful.
First. he has the courage requisite, and,
secondly, the character. His varied life
as ranchman. hunter, soldier and poll
tician has placedshlm In close proximity
with so many different men that they
have had ample opportunity to Judge of
his qualities, and to understand when
he says or does a thing. There are
many who believe that he is too agrees
sive, but Mr.. Roosevelt makes strength
of character an object. To hin, 1t is the
deed and not the word. It is the power
to act, to do something, as 1 have said.
to produce q result That result may be
right, or 1t may be wrong; but, notwith-
standing, It is the result, and Mr.. Roose-
Welt is satisfied IL 1t be wrong, he will
be one OF the first to set 1t right. One
great thing in his favor is hiR absolute
adherence to all that is strictly honest.
This belief makes him a man OF frank,
open expression. He is quick to say a
thing, for he knows that what he says
is the truth. During his civil service
commission days saw a great deal OF
Kim, and 1t was that phase of his char
acter which impressed me most. He
seemed to let 1t permeate his clerks. and
his presence among them was very
gratifying. Not one in his department
Gid he consider inferior to himself. and
lie once kept me waiting while he
showed an errand boy the shortest route
from the treasury building to the capitol.
There are few men in the United
States whose character is 80 well and
widely understood. That has been one Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's secrets of success-tc
have his character understood. He
wants all men who regard him as pub
lie servant to put implicit trust in him
IL he had no other record than his serv-
| ice as an employe OF the civil service
commission he would be deserving Of the
liation's gratitude and confidence. I,

have occupied 1t into little or no promi-
rence, but Mr.. Roosevelt was not con.
! tent to hide his life. 4 believe that, Il

work In the country he would have
made 1t an Important affair. He Il

that There will be more railroad build

In noticing that farmer up in Sioux

The Valley Express notices that "a
large number OF people are trying to
impose on Roosevelt by claiming that
Mr.. Mckinley had at least encouraged
them to believe that he would do this
or that. but in these instances, the
presidents wisdom in retaining the
services of Mr.. Cortelyou, who by the
way is very methodical man, stands
him in good stead. In any event Mr..

DEMOCRATIC PATIENCE EXHAUSTED.

y
During the pre- convention campaign
the charge was made against Mr.. Cum
minis that he was the fayorite of many
democrats. It was then sought to des-
troy republican admiration for the man,
which failed utterly, nevertheless the
charge was literally true. Mr.. Cum
Minis, fearless, honest. independent
man, is greatly admired by a class of
democrats which numbers in its mem
4 bership the level headed business men
who have lcng been democrats but
who have in recent years been virtually
marooned by their party in its flight af-
the the false gods of nopulism. These
men seek good government. they have
come to know Cummins and admire
him. On the other hand there is moth.
4ng left to them but disgust for the
candidate and principles of the present
democratic party. For years they have
been voting the democratic ticket I'M
der protest in the hopes that in time

3 principles but this year will see their
patience exhausted. Cummins as man
for governor is the man of their choice.
Herriott. too, is the kind Of a fearless
fellow that these democrats like to see
and thousands of them will go quietly
TO the polls to register vote for these
two candidates and for them only.
BY refusing to support the democratic
ticket this year these men can do more
Ito drive the party back to It's senses
than could be accomplished by years of
talk. 1t would seem that the exper-
iences of '96 and 1900 would have been
sufficient instruction in politics for any
aggregation but since the Iowa crowd
persists in reaffirming the decomposed
issues of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms it behooves all sensible demo-
Gratis to demoralize and demolish the
present party in as complete manner
as possible. This is the year for them
: to do it when the republican nominees
are ouch men as make it q pleasure to
conservative democrats to vote for
them. Private conversations with hun
dreds OF them lead the closest observers
to believe that such viii be done.

THE BUG BUeABoo.

About the only reason why people
are inclined to sigh for freezing
weather at present is to rid themselves
of the invasion of box elder bugs, or as
John Brainard of the Boone Standard
calls them, the ''negundo". bug. His
theory is that the "box-elder" or ne
gundo" tree is largely responsible for
them. Whatever their source, they are
very numerous and widespread over
the state, in city as well as country.
They are appearing in great swarms
in many places. While they seem to
be very harmless and inoffensive, a
farmer tells the T.-R. that when at
tackled by children they are inclined to
bite and raise great welts where they
leave wound. They multiply very
rapidly and use their wings and legs
to penetrate every quarter of the house.
They appear to be intelligent enough
to get into places where they are least
wanted. They prefer the lamp light to
