The total vote in St. Louis | =wag in the neighborhood of 90,000. ' “ilie vote for Harlan, tfi;ci‘%zens’ can- | «4idate for mayor of Chicago, was 67,000. “This is considered a good foundation sxpon which to build a strong municipal, «ar reform, party in that city. S ——— “W. Scott Ray, editor of the Shelby- . -wille Democrat, died last Saturday, in Roy% o | “his 49th year. He is said to have been a : &« «wery able writer and a democratic poliSR ¢tician of considerable influence. “Carter H. Harrison, El—glyor-elect of | #hicago, is a young man of fine educa- | tion, good judgment and thorough busi- ||

-ness experience. He is said to have intherited much of the natural ability of “his famous father. He is 38 years old. TTF A ARSI SRR, “The Syracuse Register appeared in a raeat new dress last week. The Register ‘is a good local paper and is well patron‘ized by Syracuse advertisers. The paper has steadily improved since E. C. Jiraham took charge of it three years AO, _ O T S Y A AT WG The city of Cleveland has a “Kissam satreet,” which has a peculiar and sug--gestive sound. Strange to say, the name ihizs become so objectionable to the young *ladies residing on that street that they have petitioned the city council to «~hange the name of the thoroughfare. S SRR TTR TR " The republican ticket was successful #un the St. Louis city election. The democrats were divided between two candidates for mayor, while the republi~cans massed their strength on one man, vwhich insured them victory. The respublican candidate, Henry Ziegenhein, ~received about 13,000 plurality. N ———— " The reciprocity clause in the Dingley I *tariff bill, which passed the house, has “been rejected by the finance committee «of the senate on the grounds that it is not liberal enough toward other coun -fries, the concessions on the part of this government being so small as to give -amall incentive for reciprocal favors. It .ig thought that the senate will prepare a substitute.

TO i A—r ‘A late report says that the Cuban in--surgents rescued General Rivera from a rirain which was carrying him from San “Crissobal to Havana. Rivera, who succeeded to Maceo's command, was recent1y captured by the Spaniards and it has +heen feared that the intrepid general =would suffer death at the hands of his scaptors unless some fortunate circum:stance would intervene to save him. TR SSR RO TR, “The merchants of St. Joseph, Mich., Inave signed a paper agreein r not to coun“fenance or encourage the establishment «of another daily paper in that place. " They say that one paper covers the field +sufficiently and another one would be a “burden to advertisers and the community in general. They take the sensible -view that one good live paper decently ssupported is of more value and credit to the city than two struggling, half-starved «zoncerns would be. “The Chicago Journal pays the follow- i ang graceful tribute to Washington Hesing and the Chicago Staats-Zeitung, “with which journal the distinguished -sprinter in the late mayoralty race is prominently connected: “The Staats(Zeitung’s circulation among the post--office employes has fallen off since Hes‘ing’s withdrawal from the postmaster- . szship. It was the only paper known w _«among the postoffice employes for years. ws a tribute to Hesing, they wused to! wwrap their lunches in it.” ! ¢liartea H. Harrison, son of the late | Mayor Carter H. Harrison, was elected | 3 ;;1;'”1' of Chicago last Monday after one li of the most exciting contests ever held ! in that city. Harrison received a plur—i -ality of 75,716. There were four main | andidates Harrison, Harlan, Sears and | Heeing. The democrats held tnguthuri in good shape, as the result p]uin]yil shows. Harlan, the citizens’ candidate, | _imade big inroads on the vote for Sears, | e republican candidate. The c:mdi-‘ dacy of Washington Hesing, who resigned 1 the postoffice to become mayor of Chi ! ~ago, made but slight impression on | iarrison’s strength. Hesing is a demo- ! rat, but ran (or walked, rather) as an | independent candidate. Ile was the last f sman in the race of the big four to come | in under the home wire. The rcsulti ;vlainly shows that the democrats of; «Chicago are united and working in com- ' :parative harmony, while the republicans i .are laboring under a disaffection in the sranks, which proved their defeat and] s=lected a democratic mayor. | i

P e Pkt S 5 . g 8 £ 5 P T The Sugar Beet Question, The sugar beet question is receiving 1 stimulus from the scheme of the new tariff law. Apropos of it a few facts gleaned will not be without interest. “If the American farmers produced the sugar beets necessary to furnish sugar to the American people it would necessitate the cultivation of about 3, 000,000 acres of land, based on raising a crop of beets every two years. At ten tons of beets to the acre, worth $4 per ton, the farmers would receive $60.000,000. As much more would be paid out in labor in the factories, and this, together with the additional labor necessary on our transportation lines, would increase the home markets for other productions. Instead of sendirg every year $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 in wheat to foreign countries enabling them to make the home price on the large quantities consumed at he.oe and importing over $100,000,000 worth of sugar annually let us work to reverse this order of things and the result will be higher prices and the creation of a new and profitable agricultural industry. “The yield of sugar per acre depends on the selection of the variety and strain of the best seed, cultivation and the amount of sunshine during the season. The yield per acre of beets will vary from eight to fifteen tons, which at 4 per ton, will amount to $32 to S6O. The cost of growing an acre of beets, under the conditions existing in this State, may be estimated at S3O per acre,

not counting the expense of hauling to a factory. “Farmers who undertake experiments in growing beets need fear no loss because no factory is located near them. The beets will be worth as much as they cost for stock feeding.” BSR ST NAR B ~ AVARIETY. Interesting Things Found Floating in Our Exchanges. A rural editor in his bicycle items wrote that “Miss Port looked charming on her wheel in her short skirt,” but when the compositor reached the word “skirt” a letter, “h” had wandered into the ‘k” box and the poor scribe lost seventeen subscribers before the paper had been out twenty minutes. A singular -example of animal homesickness was brought to our nitice, says the Plymouth Independent. Last week J. Swindell purchased a team of horses of C. T. Mattingly. They were in excellent condition and did good ser vice. However, after a few days absence from the farm they refused to eat and nothing could induce them to eat food of any kind. Swindell informed Mr. Mattingly of the case who could not in any way account for it. The thought struck them that it might be a change of diet and to ascertain the same Mattingly telephoned to his man on the farm. Os him it was learned that the horses were home sick. An exchange says that a certain farmer estimates that one hen is worth an

acre of land. He figures that whereas the ground produces in a year 20 bushels of corn worth %2, the hen, which costs less to take care of, lays 10 dozen eggs worth $1.50. Never say a word against a rich man being extravagant in expending his money; for as sure as he spends it, labor gets it. Every article of luxury has to be made by somebody, and that some. body’s wages helps to keep money in circulation. Only the miserly rich man, who will not spend a cent, is to be condemned. His money, hoarded and concealed, does nobody any good, not even himself. A Plymouth man says if you want your asparagus to shoot up and grow rapidly and crisp, put a good portion of coarse salt on the ground over the plants or roots, and you will get it to your complete satisfaction. Asparagus is a salt water plant and will not be in- } jured by salt but greatly benefited. ‘ One whko has had no experience in the newspaper business, or studied its cost, has a very limited idea of the expense. The subscriber to a weekly newspaper, who pays &1 a year, does not realize that that paper cost the publisher SI.OB. There is not a newspaper in the United States that could sustain itself on the price of the subscription alone, unless it was doubled from what it is now. It is ‘the income derived from the advertising and job work that makes the paper live, and almost any other business pays a larger profit than job work and adver | tising because it requires so much work and expensive material.
