They will probably be equally glud when his successor retires. As amatter of fact the democrats are always glad when any republican retires from any position. NEBRASKA AND THE SUGAR TRUST. The prospect for a more extensive cultivation of the sugar beet in Ne- braska is good. The development of this young industry in this state has been very rapid during the past few years and has attracted wide attention. Two large factories are turning out sugar of the highest quality from the beets grown upon Nebraska soil, and the possibilities of sugur making being lim- ited only by the possibilities of beet growing, it is evident that the business may be extended indefinitely in & re- gion so admirably suited to it as Ne- braskn is admitted to be. It has been shown by reports from the Agricultural department that among the samples of beets received from various states the highest coefficient of purity was found in those from Nebraska. The propor- tion of sugar in the beets grown in this state is 3 per cent greater than in thoso of Germany, and the natural produc- tiveness of our soil is such that it gives the beet growers here ngreat advantage 1n the competition with those of the old world, who are obliged to resort to ar- tificial fertilizers to an extent which offsets the difference in the cost of labor. The sugar factories of Nebraska are turning the products of her beet fields into rofined sugar, and doing the work well. This is as it should be, and the manufacturing facilities should be ex- tended with the growth of the beet growing industry, as it doubtless will be. Touching upon this phase of the subject, the New York Commvrciel Bulletin has the following: In commenting upon the question, now being agitated by those who have taken up the culture of sugar beets in Nebraska, whether they oughtto erect refineries as woll as factories for the production of raw suger, or tho latter only, Willett & Gray say, in their “Statistical:” *‘We do not like to see the opportunity for profitable boot root agri- culture in nearly every state in the union lost to our farmers by the present disdirected offorts. Abandon the effort to build up the industry by beet root sugar rofioing and 1imit it to beet root sugar agriculture, and it must succeed.” 1f the growers of beet roots and the manu- facturers of raw beet root suzar in Nebraska will agree not to erect refineries, Willott & Gray declare that the sugar trust “will con- tract for it” (raw beet root sugar) “‘now at the markot value of similar sugar at the time of delivery in 1893, and will commence worlk- ing their large refinery in St. Louis just as soon as a six months' supply can be given them from any or all of the beet root produc- ng states.” The journal quoted labors under a slight misapprehension upon one point. It assumes that the idea of erecting re- fineries in Nebraska has not yet been put into actual practice, whereas the truth is that all the beets grown in this state are made into refined sugar here. Elsewhere in the same editorial the Commercial Bulletin says: We do not believe that the beet root growers and raw sugar manufacturers of Nebraska will accepr this advice. In fact, thero is no greater menace to the success of beet root sugar culture in the Unitod States than the sugar trust. Unless the raw sugar manufacturers shall be able to put their sugar upon the market ready for consump- tion they will be at the mercy of the sugar trust. There is now but oue buyer of raw sugar in the United States, and the farwmers of Nebraska have but to observe the history of the Standard Oil trust to cee what their future will be if forced to sell their sugar to the sugar trust only. This is very good counsel {from an able source. The sugar trust will eagerly covet the raw product of Nebraska, and if the present rate of increase in beet culture here is maintained 1t will soon be a product worth reaching for. But there are no signs of any tendency on the part of the Nebraska farmers to play into the hands of the sugar trust. There is no reason why they should do 80. As matters now stand they have nothing to gain by sceking to place the refining business entirely in the hunds of this ginnt monopoly, There is plenty of money and enterprise in this state to provide as many sugar refineries as the growth of the beet producing industry may demand, and the local pride of our producers will iead them to encourage the home manufacturer rather than to promote any interest of such an octopus as the sugar trust. The time may not be far distant when the sugar refineries of this stute will be among its greatest industries. Nebraska for Nebraskans, and may the sugar business grow! HOMES FOR Two homeseeking excursions will come to Nebraska this year, one on August 80 and the other on September 27. It isa common practice in every new and fresh settloment to present highly colored inducements to eastern people who are seeking to better their condition, and not uafrequently a severe penalty is paid for excessive boouing when the deceived homesecker pulls up his stakes and moves away, leaving those who have expected to bscome sud- donly rich by inflated real estate values to mourn and find fault with the hard decrees of fate. Nobraska passed beyond the experi- mental period many yearsago. Among the stites west of the Mississipplit ranks as an old commonwealth.

In any event it can do no liarm, and perhaps it may effect a great improvement in the condition of some who are now struggling for existence in the thickly populated east. Visitors are always welcomed her THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE. General John W. Foster was yester- day appointed secrotary of state by President Harrison and the appoint- ment was promptly confirmed by the senate. Goneral Foster's diplomatic experienco fits him for the position. He has been minister to Russia, Mexico and Spain and had a great deal to do with negotiating the reciprocity arrangement with the latter country. He has also represented the State department in the negotintion of other reciprocity agree- mwents, and no one has a more thorough knowledge of that policy. He has been under the present administration the diplomatic attorney of the State depart- ment, and in that relation has proved himself a most able and useful official. General Foster is said to be entirely fa- miline with every phase of the Bering sen controversy, and as tho arbitration is near at hand his counsel will be im- portant and valuable. Besides his ex- tensive exporience in diplomatic affairs, tho now sccretary of state is a lawyer of superior attainments. He enjoys the full confidence of the president and is in complete harmony with his views on all the subjects with which the State de- partment has at prosent to deal. He is to bo credited to Indiana, although for a number of years a resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The State department under the pres- ent administration has received a larger share of the attention of the president than has béen usaal, During the pro- longed illness of Mr. Blaine the affairs of the department wore closely looked after by President Harrison, and it is & well known facy that a groat deal of the correspondence in the Bering sea mat- ter and the Chilian controversy eman- ated directly from the president. It is altogether probable that the presidsnt will continue to devote a great deal of attention to the department and to per- sonally direct its utterances upon all matters already under consideration or which may hereafter arise. Himself an able lawyer,well versed in international law and evidently having o taste for diplomatic discussion, President Harri- rison will undoubtedly continue to give close attention to our international re- lations and to give direction to the for- eign policy of the government 8o far as he has authority. In view of the very successful manage- ment of international affairs, largely due to the attention and interest of the president, the country is warranted in expecting that the excellent record al- ready made will be maintained, regard- less of who is at the head of the Depart- ment of State, and this without disparag- ing in the slightest degree the experi- enced and able diplomatist who now oc- cupies that position. General Foster is in every way qualified for the important duties of secretary ofstate. Indeed, there is probably no man in the country better equipped for them, and unquestionably he will fully maintain the high staudard of the leading cabinet office. INSON HAS AN ISSUE. The democratic candidate for vice president, Adlai E. Stevenson, has an issue which he considers to be more momentous than all others. It 1s the so-called force bill, the measure intro- duced in the Fifty-first congress provid- ing for free and fair federal elections in overy state of the union. Mr. Stevenson hasbeen interviewed by a representative of the New York Sun, to whom he said that while the tariff issue is more important than the silver issue, more important than both is the *‘despicable and dangerous force ,bill.” This, in the opinion of the geutleman whose political distinction rests upon the fact that he put some 50,000 democrats in fourth class postollices in the place of republicans, is tho main issue, and he remarked that ‘it is so far-reaching in its consequences that its importance cannot be over-estimated to tha people of the southern states and to the peo- plo of the country.” He declared that such legislation would destroy the peace, prosperity and happiness of the people of the south, and asserted as a fact of personal knowledge that the negroes in the southern states aroe as well treated as the whites on election day, and have little if any cause to complain. The reason for the professed fear on the part of the democratic candidate for vice president and somo others of his party that in the event of republican success there might be legislation to se- cure everywhere a - free ballot and an honest count is found in the plank of the republican platform which demands ‘‘that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and un- vestricted ballot inall public elections, and that such ballot shali bs counted and returned as cast,” and which de- clares that *‘the free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal representation of all the people,as well as their just and equal protection under the laws, are the foundation of our republican institu- tlons,” Is there anything ularming in this? Is thero anything in the demand and the declaration that any patriotic citi- zen, honestly desiving that every other citizen, white or black, shall be secure in the enjoyment of the most essential and valuable right of citizenship, can- not endorse? And if it be a fact, as all well-informed men kuow it to be, that 4,000,000 of citizens are not permitted to froely exercise this right, guavanteed by the constitution of tho country, is it nov the duty of the political party which has always insisted upon a free and honest ballot to take notice of thefact and to demand that the wrong be remedied? The republican party would be faithless to its character and its tra- ditions if it were to ignore the fact of a large body of citizens being deprived of their sovereign rvight of suffrage at overy federal election, and the party will forfeit its claim to the confidence and support of patriovie and fair-minded citizens whenever it shall cease to have the courage to denounce and protest against an injustice which menaces re- pullican institutions and is & roproach | to the nation. Mr. Stevenson will hardly succeed, oven with the v“ bie assistance of the New York Sun, ‘“m\kmg the so-called force bill a leading issue in the cam- paign. The democratic party will not bo allowed to ovade the issue it has made against the system of American proteo- tion and in favor of free trado. or Lo dodgo the fact that a very large ma- jority of the party are willing to debase the currency by opening the mints of the country to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. No subterfuge wili be permitted to interfere with the full discussion of these issues, and it mat- ters not which of thom is regarded ns the more important. The force bill may do service for the purpose of keeping the south solid, but it cannot be made to have any terror for the people of the north, The farmers, the business men and the great army of inbor, who are deeply concorned in the growth of American industries, the extension of American commerce, and the maintenance of a sound und stable currency, will not have their attention drawn away from the questions in which these conditions of national progress and prosperity are involved. But it is interesting to know that the democratic candidate for vico president, who in the event of his election might reach the highest office in the republic, believes that it is the first and greatest duty of his party to antagonize the demand for n freq and honest ballot 1 every section of the country, ‘WHEN Governor McKinloy said in his New York speech tbat tha billion-aollar congress, which the democrats say 0 much about, was really a two billion- dollar congress, he opened the eyes of his audience. It was a two billion-dol- lar congress, he said, because under the operation of the laws which it passed our domestic trade increased -a billion dollars and our foreign trade amounted to a billion and twenty million doilars, the iike of which was never known in American history. The republican party can very well afford to go befors the country upon such a record as that. The democrats said that this tariff law would be prohibitive and that it would neither let us out nor let other coun- tries in, and yet it is plainly shown that this country never in its history had such a trade before. The republican system of duties upon foreign importa- tions seems to have worked very well since the McKinley law was put into effect, and those who have studied its results without prejudice will vote for a coutinuance of the same policy. THE thousands of people who will come to Omaha next week, most of whom will renfaf8i here several days, will leave a large amount of money in the city. This will not be expended wholly for accommodations. Most of them will take this opportunity to pro- vide themselves .wigh mauy, things not readily to be obtained at their homes and which the¥~ tanget here more cheaply. Hundreds of them: will look about for the superior bargains which Omaha can offer. It i3 presumed that our wideawake merchants fully appreci- ate this, and that they wifl improve so excellent an opportunity to apprise the visitors of what they have worthy of their attention. Next week can hardly fail to bring large rewards to those business men who attract the attention of the people by liberally advertising their goods. T World-Herald is frothing at the mouth because the authorities have, in response to a public demand, voted in- significant sums of woney to help meet, the expense of a befitting celebration of the Fourth. Had not the national con- vention come to Omaha on Independ- ence day there probably would huve been less of an offort to make the cele- bration a notable one. But an exigency has ariseu and it is the duty of this city to make some demonstration in keeping with the two great events. It is-true there 13 no authority in law for the ap- propriation of these small sums, and it is no less true that there should be pro- vision made to cover the necessary ex pense of public entertainments and cele- brations. THE course of true political love does not always run smooth in the royal c cles of Europe. The betrothal of Crown Prince Ferdinand of Roumania to Prin- coss Marie of Edinburg is the cause of a great deal of trouble. Every day or two Princess Murie receives an old love letter sent by the crown prince to Mlle. Helen Nerasco, whose love affair with him created a sensation and a decided political disturbance in Roumanian pol- itics some time ago. American lovers have a great deal less trouble than those connected with the royal families of Europe. —— ARRANGEMENTS for accommodating visitors to Omaha during the session of the people’s party ‘eonvention next weok are about complgtgd, and the committee has no doubt that everybody will be properly taken ciré of. Private families desiring guests oum secure them by ap- plying to the committee, whose head- quarters is und the Millard hotel. The indications dra that there will be more people in Omaha next weok than have ever been Hage before at one time, and they will alizhe entertained. TrE proofs of rigt s hostility to the republidan tAgil luw multiply day by day. This goeg to show that it is a good law for Ami Acn and abad law for England. Thisds ss it should be. It means that the American manufacturer and laborer are’ protectéd and that the English manufacturer and his employes are vhe losers by “this’ policy. Public sympathy o ukis sldg of the Atlanuic will go out to the workingmen of Eng- land. They are not to blame for the free trude system which makes them poor. —— THE full capacity of our hotels and restaurants will be taxed Monday. Com- petent judges declare that Omaha has never veen called upon to entortain as great a number of people us will cor- tainly visit us next week. —————— THE democratic platform declares aguinst Chinese lmmigration and cou- tract laborers from abroad, but with an | inconsistency, as manifest as it is vain, it declaims for the importation of free raw material anl goods manufactured by the cheap labor of Burope. Every laboring man can see that the movement they favor would do more damage to the workingmen than all the Chinese or contract laborers on earth. OMAHA has been selected as the next meeting place of the grand lodge of the C. S. P. S of Ne- braska, which has just closed its sossion at West Point. The lodge does not meet again for four years, but none the less Omaha appreciates the favor shown it, and we can safely give the assurance that the city will then be even more attractive than it is now.
