THE NEARING FUTURE.

Whether there is a by-eIection or not,
matters absolutely nothing, save that
it will be waste of public money. The
Governor, however, considers the or
ganic act mandatory IN this particular,
o view that neither the Advertiser nor
The Star consider correct, but il may
be technically correct, and viii have to
go at that. The election win be held
for no palpable advantage to any one,
either party on. individual. There is
however a far more serious problem
before us and that is the general cleo
lion of next November
November may seem a long way off
just at this moment but there is much
to be done and much to be thought of
between now and then. The number
of voters has sensibly increased since
the last election, and the returns viii
show a sensible diminutlon Of the Home
Rule party and a very sensible in
crease of the Republican party. This
will alter the complexion of the Legis-
lature and will ensure us a different
kind of Legislation TO what we had dur
ing the sessions of 1901
That we need the most careful Iegis-
latiou is undeniable, ana that the legis-
lation should be prepared before hand
is also undeniabIe. Chiefly do we want
our finances put in order There are
great public works to be undertaken
which viii be for the benefit of those
who come after us, and which should
which should be carried out with mo-
ney obtained by loan. A loan bill
ought to be one of the first things that
the Legislature should attend to. 1t
was the last thing the last Legislature
wanted to consider because the ma
jOrity thought that hanging up of the
loan bill might be used as a club with
which to bulldOze the Governor into
granting an extra session and giving
an opportunity for members and their
hangers-On to divide up another $4,000
of public money between them. The
plan however did not work, and the
Territory has had 70 get along without
loan. This by care and strict econo-
my it has been able to do, and there

Guilty can be enectually bridged over
ain the new Legislature meets in reg
ular session. Naturally the financial
side Of the Territorial government is
the all important one, since every
thing depends upon good financial
condition, but it is no thanks to the
majority in the last Legislature that
our finances are not more tangled up
than they are.
Next to the question Of finance will
come the subjects Of the county and
municipal government. Upon this
there still remains a diversity Of opin-
ion. There are those who are violently
opposed to any such change, there are
those who are equally violently in favor
Of immediate change in this direction.

a plant for drying the leaves of the
sugar beet has been erected near Cot

and is proving very satisfactory. The
fodder obtained is excellent, contains
much nutritive property, is very dry.

also pleasant smell, similar to that Of
fresh sweetbread. The Government
and agricultural authorities are taking
much interest in this invention, which
Will notably increase the profits Of the

to resort to every means possible in
order TO make this product pay. If
this Gottingen plan should prove sue
cessful there is no doubt that it will be
adopted in the United States.
