THE BOERS.

The end of the Boer war seems in
sight OF course it has been supposed
TO be in sight on several occasions be-
fore, and this may be only another delu-
sion, but it does not appear so. The
BOer leaders as a rule want peace and
il is only some irreconcilibes that de-
sire to hold out. The British on the
other hand viii only be too glad to have
the country pacihed and its industries
developed No industrial nation likes
war for it's own sake, though all In
dustrial nations have to go to war.
Indeed the power of warfare is the pivot
of the industrial nation.
That a protracted guerilla war should
have been carried on in South Africa
is not to be wondered at when one looks
at the nature of the people and the ma
ture Of the country. 1t took the whole
force of the Russian Empire to reduce
the Circassian Chief Schamyl in some
thing like twenty years. He held the
mountains, knew every foot of them
and no Russian brigade could do any
thing against him, and they We're hurI-
ed one after another like stones thrown
at a rock. A great country can have
a little war which is very trying and
may appear humiliating until an the
circumstances are understood. This

AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT.

Public interest in the sugar problem
the share of the enormous consump-
ton of that article supplied and likely
to be supplied by the United States
has led the Treasury Bureau of Statis-
tics to prepare a statement regarding
the sugar consumption of the United
states, the amount produced in this
country Of cane and beet, separately
stated; the amount produced in its in
sular territory, Porto Rico Hawaii, and
the Philippines the amount import
ed from Cuba, the amount from other
tropical territory and the amount from
the beet reproducing countries of
Europe
The sugar consumption of the United
States has grown from 1922, S26, 342
pounds in 1870 to 5313, 937, $40 pounds in
1901; or from SO pounds per capita in
1870 to IS pounds per capita in 1901. OF
the 3, 313,9S1S4O pounds consumed in
1901, 1885, SOS, $40 pounds, or more than
one-sixth, were produced in the United
States; S52, 2O5, 76O pounds, or about an
other sixth, were produced in the insu-
lar possessions, while the remainder,
amounting to 8,476, 213,44O pounds, or
about two-thirds of the total consump-
ton, represented imports for consump-
ton.
OF the total imports during the calen-
dar year 1901, 1902 S6O,514 pounds were
from Cuba 6S6,6l6,954 pounds from the
East Indies, chiefly Java; 1,122, S65, SS7
pounds from other cane sugar coun-
tries; and 599,774,613 pounds from the
| beet sugar countries of Europe
OF the 985, SOS, $40 pounds of sugar pro-
duced in the United States, about one
third was from beets and two-thirds
| from cane. OF that withdrawn from
the insular possessions, all was from
cane, as was also all of that from Cuba
and from the other tropical territory;
while Of the 599,174,6l3 pounds of beet
sugar imported 4S4,344,OO4 pounds came
in the unredned condition, and 115, 43O
GO9 pounds refined

Ployed now.
We are beginning to reverse, or indeed
have reversed the dictum of our ances-
tors which used to be that competition
as the life of trade" Our main object

The idea began with the department
store I'm all probability That united
under one roof business which had been
carried on under many roofs. The
store under SUCH circumstances could
afford to take a smaller per centage
upon its capital and the consequence
was that it undersold its. competition on
their special lines and yet made money.
From this comparatively crude be-
ginning has grown the system of trusts.
Like evolutions of human society they
will have their period of advance and
their period of decay. The friends and
supporters Of trusts on what should
really be called monopolies point ont at
how much less cost the article or ar
ticles which the trust deals in can be
supplied to the consumer But it is a
question whether this is really the
case. When all competition has been
swept away, and sometimes, as in the
case of the oil trust, but very reprehen-
sible means, though the value of the
article may be reduced for a time, it
goes up again, because share holders
must have dividends, and the largest
shareholders must have money to ad-
vertise themselves as great philan-
thropists and the weak world of pow

CALLED FOR DEC. 10.
Company Meeting OF Colorado Fuel
and Iron Under Court Direction.


DENVER, Col, Oct. 2.-Judge Caldwell
in the United States Circuit Court this
afternoon signed the formal order in the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company case.
The substance of the order. which was
drawn under the courts instructions by
the attorneys for the Gates interests is
that the officers Of the company at once
issue a call by the regularly prescribed
means and that the annual election be
held on Dec. 10.
Secretary NJ. d. Thompson, of ST. Louis.
as master in chancery, Is to supervise the
election, and the company's officers are to
submit to his supervision In making the
preliminary arrangements for the meeting
After the order had been signed the at
torneys for John c. Osgood. the chairman
of the board of directors OF the fuel and
iron company, and his associates, asked
for permission to appeal TO the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals of the
Eighth district. Judge Caldwell oyerruled
the prayer.
Then a bill of exceptions was filed. set
committed by Judge Caldwell in his con-
duct Of the case. The most important point
raised was that the special session of the
Circuit Court had not been properly con-
vsned. and was therefore without juris-
diction. On this bill of exceptions the
cause will probably be carried to the Su-
preme Court of the United States for final
jurisdiction. Judge Caldwell said the bill
of exceptions would not interfere with the
election ordered by him to be held on
Dec. 10.
