Tomorrow a political organization
known in local politics as the labor
party will meet in every ward OF the
city to caucus upon matters preliminary
to the city convention, which viii soon
been held for the purpose of placing
aldermanc candidates in the field. The
plans and purposes Of this poiticai
party are generally known and deiin-
ite statement of the objects 1T has in
view in entering the field of city politics
may be expected when its convention
meets and the committee on platform
makes a report. The party viii prob
ably offer an excuse for Its existence by
calling attention to the shortcomings OF
the present administration and recon-
mend its favorite schemes as rem
edy for the ills with which Butte's mu-
nicipal government is afflicted In point
ing out the misdeeds of the democratic
administration the labor party will have
an easy task: but in convincing the
voters that II has a sufficient remedy
for these defects, that party Will need
all it's powers of persuasion.
In the city election held a year ago
the labor party forfeited the right to be
known as a dominating force In local
politics 1t had candidate for each of
the city offices and made a campaign
that, for vigor and earnestness, was
superior to the efforts made by the older
parties in former years. After this re-
pulse at the polls the way was open
for the labor party to retire from the
field of politics and put a period to the
story of its political career, and, had not
powerful influences operated tc inspire
its tagging hopes. such would likely have
been its fate. But the labor party once
more enters the field of Butte NUM-
cipal politics as a protest against the
methods of city government which have
prevailed since the present administra-
tion took the reins. 1t stands alone;
for the only party toward which it would
turn with the hope of effecting a political
alliance Is the republican party and as
that party Is sufficiently strong to make
It's way to success without resort TO
such expedients. the labor party will
probably continue to maintain a sep
arate political existence.
The party which tomorrow evening
viii fire the first gun of the city cam
paign, owes its existence to the fact
that the people are weary of democratic
misrule in the city of Butte and want
change, and as recent political history
offers indubitable evidence that the labor
party cannot win, the proper course for
its members to pursue, after register
ing their protest against existing con-
ditions, is to vote for republican can
didates and make the rebuke to the
present inefficient administration 50
complete that the lesson of It's down.
fall will never be forgotten.

ANOTHER STAGE OF IRRIGATION

will bring to the owners. The plan Is to
construct large reservoirs on certain OF
the Western rivers that have periodical
flood tides.
Sections have been definitely selected
for the initial work. The chief of these
reservoirs will be built at San Carlos on
the ella River In southern Arizona. II
the bill Is passed and the work UNDER
taken this reservoir will cost million
dollars but It will render 100000 acres
fertile and easy to cultivate besides pro-
viding plenty of water for the Indians
OF that region.
Other reservoirs of like character are
contemplated in California, in Nevada,
central Colorado, Montana, etc. The
money which the government expends
will all come back to 1t In purchases
which 1t may confidently be expected
will be rapidly made as soon as the value
of the work Is appreciated.
1t may have a partially redeeming ef-
feet upon the rotten borough state of
Nevada. though when II sold out It's
water rights early In its history for
mess of pottage 1t left small chance for
its reha bilitation and development. There
has long been considerable hesitation
about letting in Arizona and New Mexico
as states, owing to the character of their
population; but once redeem their arid
lands. as this bill proposes. and there
will flow In some OF the best leaven of
citizenship In the country.
Instead of being "bad lands" they will
become agricultural Edens dotted with
peaceful and thriving villages and happy
homes. Hardly any other measure before
congress means az much for our internal
development as this.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

When the commercial relations be-
tween this country and Cuba have been
satisfactorily establlshed-when the i'm
portant question of controlling trusts
has been finally answered--and when ex-
perience has demonstrated that the home
market and home production can be
made interdependent--the the produc-
tion Of beet sugar may be said to be one
of the permanent industries of the coun-
try. Just now the industry is in lis ex-
porlmental stage. and whatever infor-
nation can be supplied upon the sub
ject Is gladly received. For this reason
a report recently made by the British
consul, Wyndham to his government Is
OF interest as showing the rapid develop
nent of what promises to be one of the
greatest Industries In the western
world.
Consul Wyndham not only covers the
entire field from which reliable data may
be gathered, but supplements his report
upon the condition of the beet sugar
Industry with valuable opinions that
have been the subject OF much contro-
versy. After the fullest investigation
he has no hesitancy in declaring his
belief that the United States will in a
few years produce from home-g grown
beets the $l00,0O0,000 worth OF sugar
which we import every year. A visit tc

TRADE WITH JAPAN

Since the Anglo-Japanese alliance was
announced to the world as a particu-
larly Sensational piece Of diplomatic gos-
sip, interest in the commercial rela-
tions between Japan and the United
States has increased, for Japan, 1t must
be remembered, is one of the coveted
markets towards which American ex-
porters have been looking for increased
business. monograph, recently Issued
by the treasury bureau of statistics,
and based upon commercial report
just issued by the Japanese government,
deals with questions now uppermost In
the pub /. mind gives clear ex-
position of our commercial relations
with the land of the Mikado. 1t shows
that the reign commerce OF Japan,
which In 1878 amo. n ed to less than co.
900, 900 yen--or about 10000 000-was in
1890 about $225, 100000 The progressive
spirit of the Japanese Is shown I'm the
increased proportion of the export trade
handled by the Japanese themselves.
In 1890 only about ~ per cent of the
trade of that country was conducted
by Japanese, against 81 per cent In 1900.
The United States has oustripped the
other countries of the world in secur-
ing Japanese trade. for whereas this
country supplied less than per cent
of Japan's total imports In 1881; In 1900
1t supplied % per cent. In the mean
time Great Britaln's exports to Japan
fell from 50 per cent to less than % per
cent. In return for the extensive pur-
chases Japan has made in our markets
we have become the best customer Of
that Oriental nation. The total exports
from Japan in 1900 amounted to $780,
100000, of which more than $25,0000 900
ports from Japan consist chiefly of raw
silk, manufactured silk, rice and mats
The importation of raw silk has in
creased in amount since 1883 until II nes
more than doubled the figure at which
this article of import now stands be-
ing sl3,O00,000. On the other hand. the
exports from the United States to Japan
have increased with even greater ra-
pidlty than her imports to u.s. In 1881
they amounted to only $56O,OO0 and in
1900 they had increased I'm value to
$3l ,000,0 900. The commerce between this
country and Japan Is already upon a
very satisfactory status.

The Hansbrough irrigation bill has
gress with an absence of opposition
which augurs well for It's final success.
1T takes It's name from Senator Hans
brough OF North Dakota because he has
been the principal engineer of the meas
ure and because It embodies his ideas
to perhaps larger extent than those OF
any other Individual u
With "a dozen or fifteen other bills pro-
viding for irrigation early in the session,
the matter was finally referred by friends
or the main proposition to committee
or IL of both houses, unoffically selected,
to agree upon an irrigation bill. There
was considerable clashing of interests
but finally this bill was drafted and rep
resents, II Is claimed, compromise of
the many differences OF opinion which
prevailed. tste
The North Dakota senator said some
weeks ago. THE strongest fact in favor
or the bill. as Ii has finally been prepared
by the committee of seventeen, Is that
monopoly of land will be impossible.
This VIII encourage the small settler,
and within dozen years after the COM
pletion of the works, fill the arid and
sem-arid plains of the great West with
an industrious and well-to-do population.
"Cities and towns will spring UP on
the barren plains of Kansas, Colorado,
Arizona. New Mexico and the states
farther north and west, and this wide
expanse of territory will become one of
the wealthiest and most important of
the whole country"
We must bear in mind that the gem
eral plan contemplates the ultimate con-
version of 100.000090 acres from barren
ness into the highest productiveness. In
fact, the claim is not an exaggerated one
that this vast aggregate when opened up
to those influences that irrigation will
furnish viii become the greatest agri-
cultural section of the country, both as
to yield per acre and the price that yield

obligation, nations that regard the
transaction from an impartial point of
view will consider this loan as a friendly
rather than as business proposition.
Other nations whose interests are op-
posed to the purposes of the Anglo
Japanese alliance will see in the loan a
desire to strengthen that alliance Rus
sia, for example, is under heavy ex-
penses In the prosecution of her extern
siye system of internal improvements,
and consequently can always make
profitable use of ready money, and
would without doubt consider loan as
an expression of national good feeling.
That government will perhaps look upon
the japanese loan as an expression of
national good feeling for the combina-
tion formed to defeat its Asatic policy.
The American government can, however,
be held responsible Sor the loan only as
1t has afforded the syndicate facilities
for making it,

lumber, tobacco, machinery and a guam

1t appears to be the general impress
sion that a bill designed to give bounties
to Cuban sugar planters would be de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court. The tax on Cuban raw sugar Is
between $3i and $36 per ton, and 20
per cent reduction would mean a cut
of from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton In the tariff.
The surlax on German raw sugar Is
$500, on Belgian $3.50, on Russian $l2Go,
and on Holland $40 ton. How to deal
with the Cuban sugar tariff and boun-
ties is among the tieklish questions at
the present Sc ssion of congress.

POSSIBLY A JAPANESE LOAN
tSan Francisco CALL

The government OF the United States
Is. not in the money-loaning business,
but when 1t has more gold in its treas
ury vaults than there Is use for, it de-
posts a part of the surplus in banks
whose solveney is established. AS IA re-
payment of this money so deposited is
secured, the government need not con-
Germ itself with the use that may be
made of the deposit. In this way some
Of the gold now lying idle in San Fran
cisco and other government repositories
may be transferred to Japan. 1t is
known that the little Oriental empire
has been for some months in the market
for loan at rates of interest which ex-
ceed those paid by the four or five ma
tions of the first rank.
An American syndicate, therefore,
which finances this Japanese loan will
make a good investment. Japan's pres
ent debt is given at O969O, 1903, small
liability compared to those of European
nations of no greater natural resources.
The ability to negotiate loan Of such
magnitude, and~at fair rates of interest,
will improve Japans financial standing
among European nations. Before the
Boer war Great Britain would have been
given an opportunity to supply the
financial needs Of her ally, but as Great
Britain is now borrowing money on her
own account, the investment was passed
over to the other side of the Atlantic
While the loan may be considered a
safe investment for the syndicate, the
making of 1t tends to give strength to
the belief that the United States in its
Asiatic policy is acting in accord with
Great Britain and Japan. AS the man
with money always places the man who
wants to borrow money under sort of
