Let us say one-half of this is charged

will still leave MI. Brown $3,913. so
from an investment of $500 in five
years. Can the world famous wheat
fields of the Red River valley show
such a profit on so small an invest
ment and so little labor? Can any
other industry compare with this, for
which our surrounding territory, the
beautiful Missouri slope seems so we'll
adapted?
If Mr.. Brown is a farmer the sheep
need not in any way interfere with his
farming operations for the first four
years at least, after which he can drop
wheat raising altogether and devote
his time to sheep exclusively, as his
income would be in the neighborhood
of $4,000 per annum.
To any live man this is an alluring
proposition no matter how small his
capital, and there is no time like the
present to get in on the ground floor.
Sophocles has said that to act was to
succeed and the man with small or
large capital should get into the sheep
industry right here, and follow this
sage advice.

Three Months of Congress.

Congress has been in session three months.
When il assembled FIVE questions were re-
garded as of unusual and pressing impor-
tence. An isthmian canal, a renewal or
the Chinese exclusion law, a tariff arrange
ment with the Philippines, reciprocity with
Cuba and reciprocity on general lines But
one of these questions has been disposed o.
The Philippine tariff bill is fairly good
solution of that difficulty, but it was OBJ
tained only after a weary welter or lr-
relevant talk. Mr. Cullom has said word for
the reciprocity treaties on the Senates table
and there they rest. The immediate OBJ
stacle in the way of action upon the canal
question is the cloud upon the title Of the
holdings of the Panama Company. The
Chinese question IS still in committee, while
the Cuban question has divided both the
majority and the minority of the House
into angry factions. There Is time enough,
but no time Is to be lost. Why not take
hold and push things, and so be able to
put up the shutters about the middle Of
July?
The canal question ought to be brought
before the Senate at as early a day as
possible The piling up OF expert testl-
mony before the canal committee does not
illuminate the public, and there is strong
suspicion that the committee itself Is but
little the wiser for it. The general propo-
sition is pretty we'll understood. and Wig
orous debate in the open Senate would clear
the air materially. Why not have 1t? Why
not show the country that the Senate.
which Is charged with the duty Of selecting
the route and passing a bill, Is ready to
discharge that duty?
The committee hearings as to the Chinese
bill are at an end, and that measure also
ought to be pressed to an early vote. OBJ
jections to 1t are confined to sources from
which they proceeded ten years ago when
public sentiment so aggressiyely asserted
itself. Everybody understands that the
steamship companies operating on the Pa
cifie are anxious to dump as many Chinese
on these shores possible for the passage
money to be obtained, and that contract
ors with the view of cheapening wages
would have the country overrun with coolie
labor. Added to these are special pleaders,
some with Chinese money In their pockets,
talking in the key of brotherly love and
transcendentalism. Nevertheless, the ex-
clusion law should be re-enacted, and with
In the next month so.
1t seems altogether likely that q block
ade will occur as the session approaches
its close, and no really important measure
should be caught in 1t.

Beet Sugar and Protection.

This Is the platform Of the beet sugar
champions: mo concessions to Cuba. No
reciprocity. No tariff changes Of any kind.

the policy Of protection, and that policy
must be preserved precisely as it is now
applied. The slightest revision would be
unwise, and it might lead to our complete

interests of all that we have achieved, and
In the name of those who have led the
party in the past. We accept the chal.
lenge of the democrats on the tariff issue.
We are still, as we have always been, for
protection, and damned be he who first
cries hold. enough"
All of which is very fine in it's way. But
do these gentlemen reflect on what that
leads to? Put the case in those terms, and
rest 1t on that basis, and who inevitably
becomes the leader Of the democracy next
fall, and probably in 1904? William Nc
Kinley. The shade of that wise ard great
man will be in the forefront on the demo-
cratic side. His Buffalo speech will be-
come the prize document for distribution
by the democratic campaign committee.
Millions of copies Of 1t will be sown broad
cast over the land, and it will count for
many thousands Of votes.
Observe what the effect would inevitably
be- Mr.. Mckinley favored concessions to
Cuba There is no doubt whatever that
point Mr.. Roosevelt, in explaining his po-
sition in the premises. is altogether justi-
fled In stating that the problem Is inherit
ed" He supports it cordially. but he did
not formulate 1t. Mr. Mckinley favored
reciprocity on general principles. He
thought the time ripe for it. He gave the
reasons why. He pointed out how rapidly
We had grown a featuring nation,
and how essential it for us to find new
markets for our enormous output. Tariff
wars, he thought, We're to be avoided by all
means; and that could only be accomplished
by treaties with the nations with which we
We're seeking increased trade. And he had
a word to say the subject Of industries
which had grown to such power and pro-
portions that they no longer needed the
terms arranged for them In the days Of
their struggling beginnings.
Mr.. Mckinley's farewell address was de-
livered only last September. Has anything
occurred since to rob 1t of single point !?
On the contrary, is it not as forcible now
as on the day 1t was first heard? Did the
greatest champion Of the American policy
since the time Of Henry Clay die an apos-
tate? Did he not fight the good fight and
keep the faith to the end? Is there a man
in the ranks of the beet sugar forces who
can claim to be a better friend Of pf otec-
tion than was William Mckinley, or than
Is Theodore Roosevelt?

The SUNDAY. Opening Question

The question Of whether Sunday shall be
wet" or dry Is agitating New Yorkers
of all classes. The saloonkeepers are an
Xious to know whether they are to be al
lowed to violate the law openly as In the
past and whether they are expected by the
police to buy their immunity from arrest or
are to be free from blackmail. The police
want to know whether they are to enforce
the law or IL not are to be permitted to
work the old-time graft" by assessing the
saloonkeepers. The people who demand ac-
cess to the beer and liquor supply on Sum
day want to know whether they must risk
going thirsty. The people who regard Sun
day opening with adherence ask why the
lew is not strictly enforced. Those who re-
gard as paramount the sanctity Of the law,
whatever may be its terms, urge that the
statutes be either repealed or enforced The
reform elements which supported the fusion
ticket last fall are distressed over what
they declare to be q lack Of policy on the
part Of the administration The police .ap-
parently are waiting for the mayor to give
the order to close the saloons. and the
mayor has given no sign Of his intention,

Mr.. Cleveland and 1904.

Steps are being taken to re-establiSh the
old alliance between the solid south and
Tammany Hall for control OF the govern
ment. The Star pointed out several months
ago that such a movement was on the
cards and under the direction Of some of
the old-tme leaders Things are shaping
themselves openly now. as was evidenced
by the passage by the Mississippi legisla
ture the other day of resolution intro
dGced by a man named McAllister. The
paper was long and automatically drawn
out. but its real meaning may. without in
Justice TO anybody in interest, be briefed as
follows:
Whereas the democrats OF the south in
alliance with the democrats OF the east
have shared In two presidential triumphs
since the close OF the civil war; and,
Whereas in their alliance with the demo-
Gratis and populists and silver republicans Of
the west they went to overwhelming defeat

Whereas they enjoy victory far, more
than they do defeat; therefore be 1t
Resolved. That We express regret to our
eastern brethren for our course during the
last two presidential campaigns, and renew
to them the assurances Of our distinguished
consideration fer 1904"
Appropriately enough. this action was fol-
lowed by several complimentary notices OF
Mr.. Cleveland by southern editors. and one
OF the gentlemen sent a marked copy OF his
paper to Princeton. In reply he received
the following letter:

Smoke Abatement in Cleveland

From the Chicago Tribune
Every reference to the work Of reducing
smoke In Cleveland is likely to prove in
structive. 1t Is the town where a well con-
sidered method Of dealing with the smoke
nuisance was first adopted in this country,
and the fact that such action dates only
from July. 1900, merely illustrates how
dilatory great cities may be In respect to
their serious interests. Indeed, with the ex-
exception OF st. Paul. no other city has
even yet aligned Itself with Cleveland in
this matter and st. Paul has only done so
within four or five months.

he began to make systematic card cata-

and this has now been completed. 1t shows
over 900 separate plants, operating nearly
2.20O boilers. At the same time the city
has been divided into districts. and from
