The Sugar Beet Vs. Justice.

From the New York Journal
 There are several things more important to the American people than large profits for the growers of sugar beets.
 One of these things Is justice.
 Another is the national honor.
 Justice and the national honor alike demand that we shall not ruin Cuba af- ter having rescued her from Spanish tyranny, and incidentally deprived her of her Spanish market.
 The sugar beet growers insist that Congress shall have more respect for their pockets than for justice and the national honor. They contend that they represent protection, and that when fin- ger is laid on their special privileges the whole protective system Is attacked.
 The sugar beet growers are the best friends the free traders ever had
 The tree of freedom commercial frGe- dom, Is being watered with the blood of the martyred sugar beet.

would greatly aid them in detecting crim> inals, as the organization sends out de- scriptions of all criminals caught in the country The latter would aid in iden- trying them and would also aid greatly in catching escaped criminals, as all measurements are now taken by this sys- ten and every description coming into the office here pears the Bertillion figures. They are worthless to the department here because there is no branch here and the men are not familiar with the terms and figures.
 There is also a lack of funds to properly equip a detective department, which con sidering the number of burglaries com mitted, should be very strong. At pres ent there are only two detectives, and the amount Of stolen property they recover IS evidence sufficient that they more than pay for the additional expense.-As things are now the department can not spare patrolnen to use as detectives and there IS not money enough to pay others.

taken, was the examination of the hal-
lots themselves, which on their face snow
by the granting of the decision recently
made by the Court of Appeals, there
were hundreds of ballots cast ut the last
election improperly marked ana Whlch
