AS TO SUGAR.

"The first great cry for man." said Josh Billings. lis for bread; then but ter on the bread; then sugar on the butter In the thirty years or so since he said it the sugar part of the cry has so increased in volume that now it has outgrown the proportions of joke.
 Some persons smile skeptically at the explanat tion that sugar is high because it is scarce. The only ex- planatio that suits them is that somebody is taking advantage of a situation to make more money out of the provisions which people must have But there are some facts and figures which they will do well to consider. What becomes of the sugar? What is the volume of our national demand for sugar ?-New Haven Register.
 Look over Senator Reed Shoots statement of the facts about sugar, among which are these: The United States consumes 3,300,00 tons of sugar of which she raises 500, 900 tons, inn porting the rest. She might raise every ounce of sugar she uses and furnish cheaper sugar to her people if she would, and do infinite good to her other agricultural products, for the cultivation of sugar beets is 8 great improver of the soil and ma terially increases the crops planted in the same ground in rotation. This our farmers, plodding in a senseless ruti are slowly learning. They are far be- hind the farmers of Europe in these things.-Brid geport Standard
 It is hard on the householder, this high price of sugar. because all he buys for sugar isn't sugar, as the careful housewife who sifts it care fully soon learns If the grit in fl were the worst it would not be sc bad, but little sIivers of oak from the barrels and tiny slivers of sharp metal from the nails and other injurious and indigestible small particles which cause trouble with which benzoate o1 soda effects are not to be compared Since America is eating ten times toe much sugar per capita nothing but good would come from cutting out one-h half of it.

FRENCH MINISTRY
Is INCOMPETENT
Cabinet Ministers Delay Ad-
ministration for Decade.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Paris. July z--What France wants -
good and strong government. That n
mot attained by forming cabinet COM
posed Of men responsible in consider
able measure for the national deadlock
Of the last ten years. For example. N.
Messering. Radical-Socialist fanatic, a.
minister of war, is scarcely calculated to
stimulate the enthusiasm Of French ottt-
GERS who were beginning to think that
better time was In store for them with
Gen. Goiran.
As for the foreign Office. no doubt N.
Cruppi was not an ideal person to fill
the shoes of Richelieu. but he did his
best and was really in the way Of becom-
ing an excellent foreign minister, apart
from the good work he has done during
the past three months in using the broom
at the Quai dOrsay. But NJ. de Selves
seems to have been given the post Of
NJ Cruppi simply on the principle OF
'promoveatur ut removeatur." That Is
the rule at the Vatican when the bishop
Of q diocese gives trouble. He Is ap-
pointed archbishop in partibus, higher
rank. but put on the shelf. NJ. Caillaux
was quite right in removing NJ. de Selves
from the prefecture of the Seine, but
most difficult posts in the government
passes all comprehension.
Private Interests Powerful.
The fact Is. the great interests of the
country are subordinated to private
interests every time there is ministerial
crisis. At the very moment that the deli
cate question Of the discharged railroad
strikers has to be settled, N. Augagneaur,
a Socialist Of militant character, is put
in the ministry Of public works. NJ.
Gaillaux might Just as well have select
ed the chairman Of the strike committee
But NJ. Augagneaur was the friend of
NJ. Camille Pelletan, and NJ. Caillaux
was anxious to mollify the chief agent
Of NJ. Combes in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. The new premier until now has
been identified with financial statesman
ship. in which he succeeded In arousing
the wrath Of French capitalists and
French landowners.
The late NJ. Maurice Rouvier did not
approve Of Caillaux, and the latter's in
como tax DILL Is still sleeping in one of
the senate pigeonholes.
The only indication Of a change Of
front on the part Of the new cabinet is
in the announcement that It intends to
govern firmly. 1t is a mirage NJ. Call
laux Is counting on.
But the combination that succeeded
under NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau and NJ.
Combes has no chance now. Why? The
concordat has disappeared, SO mas the
Nuncio. The church is separated from
the state, and the latter has laid hold OF
all the property and foundations The
religious orders have been scattered and
their goods ''liquidated'' a la Duez.
Some twenty thousand Christian schools
have been shut up. So the clerical spec
ter Is dead and buried.

Most Awkward,

An old, steady going farmer was ac. enstoned to ride to the market town npon rather bad tempered horse.
 One day his man Bob brought the Anfrsaa, which was especially vicious shat morning. to the door, the horse frying to bite and kick and giving a good deal of trouble.
 The farmer mounted the horse with tSone difficulty and began to walk 1t out Of the yard when Bob, who still entertained i'll feeling against the ami. mas, picked up a stone and flung it at Afn with all his force; but, alas, his aim was cratic, and the missile struck hfs master on the head.
 Helf dazed for moment, the farmer surxed slowly in his saddle, and, not suspectfng the real cause of the blow, he measured with his eye the horses hind heofs and his own head and, set slng himself in the saddle again, ufarted of with the remark, "Well, he aIlus was an okard beggar."-London ScrQpa.
