OF SUGAR
PREVIOUS RECORD ENCELLED BY
LARGE AMOUNT.
Fully So Per Cent of Imports Was
From The Tropics-Imports 100000 OOC
POUNDS i'm Excess

WASHINGTON, December 21-Sugar
imports into the United States i'm the
calendar year 1901 viii exceed those of
any preceding year by about 2jO OOO, 600
pounds, and the cost viii be greater
than any preceding years, except 1893.
when prices We're unusually high The
total importations of sugar i'm the year
about to end will according To the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, aggre-
gate 4.67O,0O 600 pounds and will cost
about $lB 100000. The highest record
of sugar importations in any preceding
year We're in quantity, those of 1899, A.
399.749,O7S pounds; while i'm value the
figures of 1898 made the highest record
S123 OS3.211.
The estimate of the Bureau of Statis-
tics for the calendar year 1901 is based
upon actual figures of importauons
from foreign countries for ten months
ending with October to which are add
ed actual figures Of sugar shipped from
Hawaii to the United States. To these
are added estimates for November and
December both from foreign countries
and Hawaii, and for the full year from
Porto Rico this method of obtaining
Hawaiian and Porto Rican figures be-
ing necessary. because commerce with
those islands is no longer included IN
the statistics of foreign commerce Of
the United States. This Slows an in
crease Of about 30 per cent i'm sugar inn
portations into the United States in the
decade, the figures for 1891 being 3,679,-
7S9 So4 pounds, the actual increase IN
the decade thus being in round terms
1000, 100000 pounds. The enormous
quantity can perhaps be better realized
when it is stated that. accepting the
average carload at 10000 pounds, the
sugar importations of 1901 would Je
sufficient to load $4,000 cars,
In addition to this enormous figure of
sugar imported, the sugar production
in the United States for the year IS
presumably about 6OOOOOOOO pounds,
this having been about the annual ave-
rage during recent years.
f the sugar importe into the United
States in 1901, more than 100000 600
pounds or fully SO per cent is cane sugar
from the tropics. The remainder is
mainly beet sugar chiefly from Ger
many and Austro-Hungary. In the ten
months ending with October, importa-
tions of beet sugar amounted to about
$50, 0OU pounds OF cane sugar i'm
ported during the year about 80 per cent
comes from Cuba, about Is per cent
from the East Indies and the remainder
chiefly from the West Indies and CEN
trail and South American countries

NO CATCHING At sTRAws.

All the same the straw does not
save the drowning man, nor is
the tempest-tossed mariner likely
to find a safe harbOr every time
he runs for the shore. The scien-

is better than a straw, and to
know how to ride out storm is
better than to trust to luck in
finding a port in time Of need.
Just so it is in disease ana

he knows the right channel

.BIIBY HAD A CALLER
AN UGLY FIGHT ON NEW YEARS
EVE.
A Midnight Caller and Police officer
Mix in the Dark with Painful Re
suits.

Omcer Walter NJ. Bixby, driver of the
police patrol wagon. is looking for a
man he had a fight with on New Years
eve. 1t was an ugly fight, i'm which
BiNby had a finger nearly chew off and
his opponent had an eye nearly gouged
out, but BiXby does not know who he
was lighting with, nor why the man
called on him and made trouble
81 was awakened late in the even

ing at my door. When l answered !

of liquor, who wanted TO know where
a Mr. Kelly lived. ] told him I thought
such man live further up the street
and the caller left.
II had just got to sleep again, when
another knock came The same man
was there He stuck his head in my
door and close to my face and told me
1 had not told him the right place ]
was not feeling very amiable just then
and I said l had told him all 7 knew
and that it was not right for him to GO
round at that time of night waking
people up. He told me it was none of
my business and 1 ordered him off the
place"
The caller didn't go. Instead he made
another impudent remark. BiXby.
dressed only in his night clothes.
thought the time for action had come,
and he gave his midnight visitor a
straight-arm on the jaw, sending him
down the steps backward. The officer
intent on finishing the job, followed
and proceeded to mix things, with a
view of seeing that the unwelcOme visi-
tor did leave the premises. That was
where Bixby made a mistake Il know
1 got in a lot Of good ones" said Blk
by but somehow or other my finger
got in the fellows mouth, and he shut
his teeth on it. He held on like a bull
dog and chewed. 1 pummelled him and
tried every way to make him let go
but he just worked his teeth on that
finger 1 suddenly thought of the way
they do with sharks in some aces
where I have fished. You know they
gouge their eyes, and this makes Mr.
Shark tractable as far as jaws are con-
cerned. Well, 1 used my other hand
on that mans eye. 1 thought l was
tearing his eyeball out, before the pair
proved too much for him, and he re-
leased my finger"
BlNDy ran INTO the house and wash
ed his finger and got some clothes on
Wien he came out the man was gone
and he has not been seen since. The
officer hurried down town and had hi.
finger dressed at once. The finger mai
was altogether gone and Bixby doesn
even know where it is.
II must have left some marks or
him, said Bixby, but it is too bad hi
didn't stay and let me finish the job
1 would like to have sent for the wa.
gon for him."

FROM A CESSPOOL
DISAGREEABLE FLOOD ON MER
CHANT STREET.
Government Cesspool Which Has over
flowed Continuously for Two Weeks.
Many Kicks Made.

There is a general howl along Mer-
chant street about the leak from a
cesspool which has kept a small stream
OF water running across the sidewalk
Tor over two weeks. The stream comes
from a cesspool, 1t crosses the side
walk between the Union saloon and the
postoftice and runs along the gutter to
McInernys corner.
When the leak first appeared il was
thought to be due to a heavy rain
storm, and it was expected that when
talr weather came the leak would stop
But 1t hasn't stopped. 1t keeps the
sidewalk wet and muddy for a space
OF over six feet, so that ladies' who want
TO go along this main street to the post
once may be seen daily leaving the
sidewalk and taking to the middle of
the street rather than wet their shoes
Inc stream also emits a smell. 1t is
from a cesspOOl and is unhealthfuI. II
makes swamp of the government lot
behind the Won Holt block. over which
II hoWs day and night on the sidewalk.
The cesspool from which the water
comes is a government cesspool. but il
receives water from a private cessnooI
me Won Holt blocks pool was found
10 De insufficient for it's water and as
the government cesspool was close at
hand, connection was made. Now
the private pool sends ii surplus into
the government pool and the latter
sends constant strem over one of the
most generally used sidewalks in the
city.

COST OF MEERsCpI"Ns

A ire in a pipemaker shop the.
other day spoiled the prop g .ol's stock
of meerschaum, and incIue tally dis
posed of the idea, common i'm most
smokers minds, that TINS commodity
is very expensive. Meereehaum itself
is not expensive. That used by the
manufacturers in this country is i'm
ported as raw material from Austria,
but most of it is obtained IN Asia Min
or Usually there are three or four
different grades, running from the
rough and mixed to the pure and finely
grained article There is no duty upon
1t. The chunks not unlike Camel coal
in shape, are packed in OblOng boxes,
about two feet and a half long, a foot
wide and a foot high. The raw mate
rial is quite brittle and has to be soak
ed in water before it is used for model
ing.
Meerschaum pipes are expensive be-
cause much of the material from which
the bowls are made has to be thrown
away before a piece is found that has
no flaws in ii. The shavings, however.
are never wasted. They are used to
make a cheaper grade OF pipes, which
are known as chip meerschaums

time to party service in his own state,
by delivering addresses at several
prominent places. Since then con-
ventions In a majority of the legisla-
tive districts of the state have nomi-
mated candidates pledged to support
him for reelection, showing it to be
unnecessary for him to take part in
the campaign on his own behalf.
The only possibility Of failure to re-
turn Mr.. Spooner to the senate is the
remote one of his party being defeat
ed in the state, and that possibility
vanishes when the senator by his
participation in the campaign uncov-
ers the fallacy of those who antago-
nize the state administration under
pretense of serving Spooner.
Commenting on Senator Spooner's
coming to take active part in the
campaign, the Oshkosh Northwest
ern says:
The people of Wisconsin certainly
have remarkable amount of faith
i'm the Judgment and ability of Sena-
tor Spooner, and their loyalty to him
is beyond question. On this account
every word the senator may utter in
regard to the political situation in
this state will be regarded with re-
spect and condolences, and there is
little doubt that the senator's Opin-
ions will carry great weight in guild
ing many voters in reaching deci-
sion as to how they will cast their
ballots at the coming election. 1t
has been claimed that considerable
number of republicans have planned
to "cutn the head of the republican
state ticket this fall, and it will be
the duty Of the senator to point out
to these misguided members OF the
party the serious consequences of
following such course. The sena-
tor himself will understand that
there is nothing to be gained and
much that may be lost in carrying
out a policy Of retaliation and re-
venge against the governor, and the
class Of republicans who are prone to
cherish this feeling are the very ones
who will pay the greatest heed to
the advice the senator has to offer
them. In all other ways the pros
poets for republican success are ex-
ceedingly bright and with the aid Of
the honored senior senator of the
state there will be no question what
ever as to the results of the coming
election.

WHOM SHALL WE SERVER

Jefferson County Union, eX-Gov-
ernor Hoard's paper: A great strug.
gle is coming to the American peo-
pie. 1t is n struggle for the posses
sion of the powers Of government in
both state and nation, and the strug-
gle is between the corporations and
the people, the common people.
The powers of government mean
largely the making of the laws and
the choosing of the men who shall
execute them.
This proposition means much to
the people, more than they are aware
of, for the great host of them are yet
blind to its significance. They are
thinking Of voting as republicans or
democrats, and not for the preserya-
tion of their own control over the
government. This proposition also
means much to the corporations.
Without the people really knowing
it, the corporations have practically
run the politics of both Wisconsin
and the nation for years. They have
furnished the campaign funds, and
because of this, they have shaped
public politics and the making of
the laws.
These great corporations have sue
cessfully controlled the enactment
OF laws concerning the laying of
taxes That they exert most pow
erful influence is seen in the way
they controlled the legislature of
Wisconsin two years ago, complete
ly defeating all attempts to pass
laws which would relieve the people.
Their influence was seen in the way
they organized the powerful Elev-
enth Story League in Milwaukee, for
the purpose of defeating the renomi-
tion Of Gov. LaFollette,
The same domination is seen in
its control over the democratic party
in forcing the nomination of that
most abiect tool of corporate wealth,
Mayor Rose, rs candidate for gov
ernor.
1t is seen in the threat that Senator
Platte of New York, makes, that the
state of New York will not support
the denomination of that true friend
of the people, President Roosevelt
The trusts are against him. Vt is
seen In the work of the packing
house combine in their strenuous
efforts to defeat the denomination oil
election of every man who has been
at all conspicuous in fighting the ole.
omargarine fraud. 1t is seen in the
threat that the corporations have al
ready sent out that they will nC
longer contribute money for the sup.
port of the republican party.
! Every farmer and householder
must know that our political cam,
paigns have been costing enormous.
| ~. Who contributed the money:
Did the farmers and householders
contribute it? Who, then. is expect.
ed to control the superserviceable

SPOoNER WILL SPEAK.

1t is announced on what appears
10 be good authority that Senator
John c. Spooner will make several
speeches before election, in support
of the republican state ticket. In do
ing this the senator but follows what
has been his custom in campaigns of
the past. For many years he has not
failed to serve his party in this way,
and that he wilt continue to do so
bat few have at any time doubted.
Mr.. Spooner's loyalty to the Republi-
can party impels him to do his part
toward maintaining its supremacy in
state and nation. AS a statesman, he
believes the welfare of the country is
safest in republican hands, aud aside
from all personal considerations he
must desire that hts own state be KEEP.
IN the republican column.
1t is to be expected that democrats
will represent that Air. Spooner's ell
teriug into the campaign is result
of some "mutualizing' arrange
ments, or that he is actuated by aux-
iety To secure his own reelection TO
