| Captain McCabe, who for eighteen
months was in the field in the Philippine
war and who now is head of the govern
ment forestry departn ent CT the islands,
is in Washington to testify before COM
mittees of congress regarding the need
for the enactment of certain land and for
estry laws. He is we'll acquainted with
Captain F. J. Barrows, of Minneapolis,
now serving five years in Bilidad prison,
Manila, for embezzlement of army funds.
Barrows is bookkeeper in the prison, and
says that he does not care for a pardon.

and it is said that the canvass will be
vigorously pushed Notwithstanding the
illness of congressman Babcock, the
chairman of the congressional campaign
committee.
The democrats evidently expected to
reap rich harvest of campaign material
out of the investigation of the conduct
of the war in the Philippines, but in this
they must have suffered grievous disap-
pointment. 1t has been shown that
Bryan and his fellow political conspira-
tors must bear their full share of the
burden of responsibility for our position
in the far east. 1t has been conclusively
demonstrated that the manner In which
the war against the revolutionists has
been conducted is not partisan ques-
ton, but one which involves the honor
and interests of all Americans. 1t has
been seen that both democrats and re-
publicans are represented in the army
as well as in the navy, and the charges
made regarding cruel treatment of Fill
pinos hit republicans and democrats
alike. 1t is generally recognized that,
however deplorable the war in the
Philippines, this nation finds itself in a
position where it has little choice as to the
policy to be pursued in that archipelago
so long as armed bands sweep over var
ious islands, and endanger both life and
property. This nation Is charged with
the preservation of law and order in that
possession, as much as in Hawaii or Alas
ka, and If the democrats were in power,
they would not be able to handle the
difficult problems involved In the all
embracing Philippine question and more
satisfactorily to the whole people, to
say the least, than have the republicans
and democrats who have had the shap-
ing of affairs thus far.
The democrats have little left now
upon which to build their hopes of secur-
ing control of the next Congress unless
they succeed in fomenting troubles be-
tween labor and capital in spite of the
efforts of Senator Hanna to formulate
and carry into operation a system for the
arbitration of all such differences. They
have thus far been unable to agree upon
single national issue, and present in
dcations are that Mr.. Bryan will con-
! tinue to figure In American politics for
some time to come as the nemesis of the

SUGAR STATISTICS.

SUGAR . ! a - los.
In 1910 the population of the world
was estimated at $50 millions and the
sugar production at l,l50,00O tons. In
1890 the people of the earth had incTeas-
ed to about one billion five hundred mil
lions, or fifty per cent. and the sugar
crop to eight million eight hundred
thousand tons, or $50 per cent.
In the United States the consumption
of sugar in 1850 was - pounds per cap
tia. Last year it was more than 6S
pounds. The retail price in gold has not
varied very much recently, the supply
having kept pace with the demand.
This wonderful growth of the sugar
habit among civilized people, to whom il
is mainly confined, it is hard to explain
possibly as hard as it Is to tell why the
tobacco habit has, In spite of the edicts
of popes, the proclamations of kings, the
preaching OF reformers and the acts OF
national and state legislation, expanded
until, as an exchange puts it, it has
brought into subsection all men who
haven't weak hearts, sensitive stomachs

FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES
SENATOR MoRRlLL,s AMBITION REoALIEp.

SENATOR MORRILL, s AMBITION RE CALLED.
The late Senator Morrlll's services in
behalf of the national architecture in
Washington are recalled by the an
nouncement that Senator Daniel of Nir-
ginia has introduced bin to provide for
a new building for the patent Office on
site east of the Capitol and north of the
new Congressional library, the latter of
which is itself an enduring monument to
Senator Morrill's determination to see a
new ana appropriate home provided for
the nations large and priceless collect
ion of volumes. 1t was his ambition to
see this magnificent structure supple
mented with beautiful building that
should serve as the home of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the site
discussed IN that connection was the
ground now mentioned for the patent
office building proposed by Senator
Daniels bill.
The project of Supreme Court build
ing hung fire for ten years or so owing
to various obstacles, but the owners of
the property are now said TO be anxious
to dispose of their property and go else
where. The way therefore seems open
for the erection of government struct-
ure, but it will probably be a patent
building instead of that which Mr.. Nor.
rill proposed
Senator Daniels bill contemplates a
structure as nearly Ike the Library OF
I Congress as may be, which will not cost
oyer 100000. The measure appoints
In.
dent of the Library of Congress and the
architect of the capital a committee &c
purchase the site and select plans for the
structure. The structure will include a
hall of inventions which will be intended
to include every invention shown IN
model and to be historical of American
progress in the inventions. Burlington

or scoldng wives. Adam and Eve had
no sugar orchard. Noah did not include
sugar when he provisioned the ark.
Moses didn't head his followers towards
a cane plantation or beet farm. Solo
mon wrote no saccharine odes. Neither
Demos themes nor Cicero made any
speeches for or against the Dingley duty
on sugar. In short, our way-back ances
tors lived comfortably and cOntentedly
upou milk and honey and knew nothing
about sugar, as we could doubtless do if
we were obliged to.
Nevertheless we eat sugar as If eX-
istence was impossible without it. We
sugar everything; our food, our drink,
even our business and our legislation.
Where do we get it: The correct answer
to this is surprising. In 1910, of total
production of l,500,0 900 tons, 1,ll0,000
tons was from cane; and thirty years
later, when the total was 2,4l6,00O tons,
only "a per cent of 1t was from beets.
Then the nations of Europe, which had
no cane lands, began to offer bounties
upon beet sugar and the production was
so stimulated that ten years later, in
1894, it was G3 per cent of the whole.
This lead has not only been maintained
but increased, until in 1890, of the total
production of S,S00.000 tons, only $780,
900 tons was from cane and G,000,000 tons
from beets. To this artificial stimulus
of the beet sugar industry, which has
been at the expense of foreign taxpayers,
we are doubtless indebted for the low
price of sugar. When the German or
French farmer gets a cent a pound
bounty from the government he can af-
ford to sell it for half a cent less than Its
actual cost to him and still make money,
and this is what he has been doing

THE CONTROL OF THE NEXT CONGRESS.
In the field of national politics interest
will center this year in the efforts of the
two great political parties to secure con-
troll of the next Congress. Both republic
cans and democrats are anxious to gain
a majority in that body not simply be-
cause it will enable them to shape legis-
lation for the last two years of the
present administration, but also because
of the bearing of victory in the con-
gTessional elections upon the coming
national campaign. 1t is generally
recognized thar while there are elements
of weakness in party's control of legis-
lation Immediately preceding a national
election, a party opposite to that of the
administration, if in a majority In the
national legislature, can accumulate a
large store of political capital, and seri'
ously handicap the opposing party. Fol
this reason the democrats have more tC
gain in one way than have the republi
cans from the control of the next con
gress.
The republicans are plainly deter
, mined to lose nothing of the advantage:
that would result from the election of /
, handsome majority in the next congress
however. According to advices from
Washington the outlook for republican
margin in the next house is regarded a.
} peculiarly promising. The work of or
