Republican National Policy.

Republican National Policy.
Some of the democratic leaders have
announced that one of the issues to be
discussed by them on the stump dur
ing the coming campaign will be the
republican policy Of a high protective
tariff. 1t is evident, as was Lroclaim-
ed at the beginning Of this session of
congress, that the present tariff will
not be disturbed, and whether the
public wishes for q new arrangement
of its schedules is a fact to be deter
mined largely by the result of the
pending presidential election. There
may be modification; and quite like
ly reciprocity, at least with Canada,
will be arranged; but it is extremely
unlikely that the voters will intrust
this delicate aud important task to
the democratic party. The slight
taste of free trade which the people
got under the Wilson bill, in the days
of Cleveland, has left an exceedingly
bitter taste in the mouth. The next
congress will have the whole matter
before it for REIMBURSEMENT. The ener-
gy and ability of the American people
have been SO great and wonderful dur
ing the era OF prosperity that the pro-
ducts Of all kinds of labor, agricultural
! and mechanical, have outgrown the
home demand, and il the prevalent
production is to continue, commerce
with other nations must be had. To
this end a determined effort will be
made to enforce the "open door" poll
cy inaugurated by the present admin
istralion. But there will be great
competition with other nations to
overcome. and if America demands
free trade, she must expect to 6e hos
pitahle to other peoples. For the pres
ent a tariff for revenue must be main
tained if the present plans of the gov
ernment in connection with the canal i,
the army and navy, pensions, ETC., are
10 be Consumated. And as the demo-
Gratis have largely voted for these
schemes they can hardly, with con-
sistency, oppose them on the stump.
c. A. Boetcher, OF Denver, a.,d rep
resent!ng the Great Western Sugar
Company of Colorado, was in the CITY
Thursday and Friday of last week.
While here he delivered contract to
a joint committee OF the Platte Valley
Beet Growers association and Cham
ber of Commerce to erect a sugar fac
tory at this place. The conditions are
that whenever our people raise $500
acres of beets yielding not less than
10 tons per acre the factory will be
built the succeeding year. The con-
tract is drawn permitting OF three
trial years. If the Logan county
farmers wanta sugar factory estab-
lished here for the year 1905 then it
stands every one in hand to do all in
their power to meet the terms of the
contract this year. A copy of the con
tract can be seen ut the First National
bank.--Sterlng Advocate

A special meeting of the board
of town trustees was held in the
town attorneys office last night.
The unfinished business of the
year was closed up, a number of
claims against the town were al
lowed and the old board went out
of business. The organization of
the new board was then effected
by the recently elected trustees
assuming their offices. Owing,
however, to the lateness of the
hour at which this was accom-.
plished, and also to the absence
of E. L. Brownlee, one of the
members of the new board, an
adjournment was taken to next
Wednesday evening, when Mayor
Wallace will announce his com
mittees and the board will take
up such other business as may
come before it.

Came to This City From

Night He Arrived

. Patrick McKenna, about sixty six
years old, former resident of this

was found drowned off the foot of
Commerce street last night by Fred
Miller. The object was first seen
floating short distance from shore
about 5 o'clock, but it was not known
to be body until about II 80 o'clock
it being thought that it was log.
When the real fact became known.
Sergeant MulligEn, at police head

moval of the body to IT. F. Burke's

known to large number Of persons
in this city. He left hers for Phila-
delphia some time ago, and has since
lived there. He came on here f2r d

he went to police. headquarters and
said that he had been unable to locate
his son IS residence. He was lodged st

was extremely near-sighted and It was
with difficulty that he found = way
about. This near 4siahtednes Wi the

War. Department Securing
Information Upon Which
to Base Its Applica-
tionforAppropriation
to Dredge All the
Way Around
the Island.

Government engineers have p COM
pleteu a survey of the water all the
way around Staten Island. The sur
vey, it is undol stood, was made ut
the instigation of the War Depart
ment to get information upon which
to base an appeal to the ne xt session
o f congress for an appropriation to
improve navigation around the islam d
by removing bars and other obstacles
at different points. The commerce in
the waters surrounding the island is
increasing rapidly and it is i'll re-
sponse to numerous complaints OF
dangerous places, that the survey
was made.
At the present time Staten Island
sound, from Shooter Islan1 to Scwa-
rem is being dredged. The work has
started opposite Elizabothport and is
being pushed in this direction, Tho
channel is to be made twenty feet
deep all the way through, The bar
and sunken reef off Rossville will be
done away with and all other danger
GUS places, which hinder navigation,
removed. II lis believed to be the in
tention of the War Department to
continue this dredging around the
island.
