I AST rVLIXINTS action ot

to an end t!i delays that have post
poned this necessary v.vik of public
Improvement. That tho mayor will
concur In this manifest wish of coun
cils nrnl public and expedite the matter
Ih naturally i.ssumed.
In-ii the proposition to open Wy
oming avenue first came. up. some elsh

on the ground thut the expenditure of
public money which It would Involve
(nbout ?.",0"n) would-at the first In

Incidentally lmieht the community at

time but the majority nevertheless
pave assent to the ordinance, viewer
were appointed, they framed their
Hchedule of nwardf. and not until nil
this had Intervened did the city
through Its leal adviser Interpose
technical objection.
In the meantime a wholly new com
plexion luu been Riven to this matter
by the announcement of the manage

is promptly opened an Immense non
printing plant, offering employment to
fiOO men, will be eonm noted In the

the plant will no', be built until it can
have a direct npproieli. The difference
Is one Involving easily ::oq,Q0O iv year

The True Baste of Representation.
WITH A VIEW to exciting
prejudice against the
Crunipacker bill to hnvi
a census taken of the
number of niulu citizens of voting age
who are not permitted to vote, a step
Intended as prepaiatory for an enforce
ment of the Fourteenth amendment,
southern members of congress aru
professing to bp greatly concerned lest
there should be a reduction In the
congressional representation of some of
the, northern stutes, us for Instance
Massachusetts, which have Imposed
cpjaliiicatloiiH upon the suffrage.
Thus Heprcsentntlvo Hay of Vir
ginia, an Ingenious Democrat, requests
the public, to fompaie the states of
Massachusetts and Indiana and rointa
out that enclj ot these states has thir
teen members. In the house of repre
sentatlves. "The population of Massa
chusetts," In- continues, "Is IM!?!,."!)."..
The vote cast, in the thirteen districts
of,, Massachusetts in 1M6 a presi
dential yeHC) wus a57.V7l'. Indiana hni
u population nf 2,210,6:13, 64,nu0 less of
population than Massachusetts, und
yet In 1SU6 the vute cast In tho thirteen
districts of Indiana was 622,219. 264,277
inwo voti-H than were cast in Massh
eh.uHL'tts.' Now f, representation Is to
be Ijaseil upon the number of, votes cast,
und not upon population, then tho rep
lesentutlon of Indiana would be largely
increased and that of Massachusetts
greatly diminished, Maine has a popu
lation of (i(Sl,086 and east a vote in ISStS
nf'loe.CM, while the First, Sixth. Tenth,
afi'd" "Twelfth districts of Ohio, with a
population of 673,255, cast a vote of 181,
usi. New Hampshire,. with n popula
tion of 370,530, cast a vote of 82,252 In

tiicts of Illinois, with a population of
4.006,42C,'ther..'ven east In 1896, 1,035.
0SI yotis; in twenty-one districts of
Now York, with a population of 4.09S,
078j 'hero were rust only 860,087 votes, a
difference In .fa,ypr of Illinois of 174,994
votes. 'Theso are a few examples of
how tpo.jijrpppBooMaw would operate in
fiiY.pr of, the states I have named; of
courao the law would apply to all of
the states; It could not bo contincd In
its operation, to a few states. Such
bilog.tbc,, affect of this law, one won
d"rs if tho ltcpubllcan party Is pre
pared to plnco It upon tho statute
books."
What tho Ilepuhllcan party mny or
mny not have tho courage to do In thh
matter Is something which the future
must develop. Hut If we consider 'the
subject from the standpoint of equity
only ono conclusion Is possible; and It
is tlint states which for reasons of
their own vlsh to depart from the fun
damental rule of universal manhood
suffrage and set up this, that or an
other franchise restriction, should, In
fairness to the other states which ad
her j to I lie original doctrine of ono
man, one vote, consent to such an
abridgement of their representation a3
will Justly offset tho number of citiz
en dlsfmnchlsed. Tho proposition Is
Independent of tho question whether
n restricted suffrage In a democratic
republic like the United Stutes Is wise.
On that point opinions differ widely:
but thcro can be no honest difference
of opinion upon the unfairness of al
lowing to one voter In ono state a per
centage of representation In congress
two, three or four times as large as
the percentage enjoyed by nnothcr
voter in a different state, because of
differences In tho franchise qualifica
tion. At the root of our Institutions Is
the doctrine of equality before the law
nnd this doctrine must not be surren
dered In principle, however grossly It
may upon occasions bo outraged In
pt notice.
The Chicago Times-Herald, which is
ono of the kadliif champions In the
recent controversy regaidlng the be
ginning of the Christian era, has cele
brated what according to its own
calculation, Is the dnw.t of tliox Twen
tieth tentury bv tho Issue of a 00-pngj
edition devoted to reviewing the event
of Interest In the nineteenth century.
The number Is a most complete, his
tory of one hundred yeais, and will bo
Invaluable for future reference. Of the
many original features of enterprise
that have marked the career of this
progressive Jeurnal, the twentieth cen
tury edition is probably the ;no,it
meritorious.
The Favorable Side.
WH HAVIJ HAD recently
from reputable observers
like George Kennan
many expositions of the
unfortunate side of the Cuban charac
ter, more especially Its tendency to
steal. It therefore Is pleasant to note
an exception Illustrating the possibili
ties In the opposite direction.
Some time ago Mr. W. K. Curtis pub
lished lu his Washington correspond
ence for the Chicago Hecord a story
which had been told to him by an ex
cellent authority that General Kudlow
had met with dllllculty In securing the
proper sort of men to fill the municipal
otllces of Havunn, and that he had
found It Impossible to Interest the best
people of that city In the reorganiza
tion of their government. General
Ludlow assures Mr. Curtis that nothing
of the kind has happened in his exper
ience. "I have had no trouble what
ever In Havana In getting good men fo
fill olllclal positions," says General
l.udlowin.i private letter, "and, In fact,
have today the same government that
I uppolnted on Jan.. 14, IS99. In addi
tion to being men of Intelligence, they
are alse men of Integrity, and the city
government has In a recent conspicuous
case refused to accept inducements
offered In large lumps to act favorably
upon a proposition which would have
Involved an expenditure ot fl.",000,000 or
$20,000,000. I was able to report In con
nection with this matter that I knew
of no etllclal community of like na
ture In the United States that could
have sustained so simply nnd so faith
fully the test of almost wholesale
bribery for a favorable report on an
opulent proposition."
So long as there ate men of this kind
In Cuba her case Is not hopeless.
Does expansion pay" Time must
ellipse before this question can be ans
wered finally, but here are a few
straws: Our exports of wheat-Hour
to Cuba alone Increased from $571,000
In the (list eleven mouths of 1S97 to
$1,871,000 In tho corresponding eleven
months of IMill. lard from $1)09,000 In
those months of 1SU7 to $1,633,000 In
3 Sl'ft. bacon from S".2,oC0 In 1S37 to
$S42,000 In IMS, hams from $319,000 in
1S97 to $668,000 In 1899, corn from $267.
OOil In 1S97 to $434,000 In 1899, and butter
and iheese from $27,000 In the first
eleven months of 1S97 to $154,000 In the
corresponding period of 1839.
Beet Sugar.
ACOWtnsPONDRNT of the In
dianapolis Press who has
Investigated the recent an
nouncement that a largo
beet sugar factory was to be estab
lished near I.aporte, Ind., supplies tho
public with some readable Information.
The factory will be at North Judson,
In Starke county, Indiana, and will
cost $400,000. It Is to begin operation
this summer. The company which Is
building the factory has received a
guarantee of 6,000 acres of sugar beets
every year. The dally consumption ot
the plant will be 600 tons of beets and
the production from sixty to seventy
tons of sugar. Farmers have pledged
about 25,000 acres. The crop must
rotate and a piece of ground will bo
drawn on but once In three or four
years. The company will pay the pre
vailing prlco for beets, which at pres
ent runs from $1 to $3 per ton. The
acreage production will run from fif
teen to twenty-llvo tons. The new
plant will bo equipped with the latest
Improved machinery nnd will manu
facture only tho liner grades of sugar.
During the operntlntr season the com
pany will employ from 200 to 230 men
In tho factory. Nelson Morris, the Chi
cago packer, will ulso build a factory
on his 15,000-acro farm In Lake county.
He will raise his own beets. If the en
terprises uro successful several other
factories will bo erected in the Kan
kakee swnmp land section.
For he past ten years the United
States agricultural experiment station
In connection with Perdue university
at Lafayette, Ind., has been making
tests of the soils In the Hoosler state
with respect to the growth of tho sugar
beet. More than 400 tests have been
made, lieets would be grown and then
analyzed; records were kcut as to tho
chemical constltuints nf both the becta
nnd the soils In which the beets grew.
It was found that the best beets came
from tho vicinity of North Judson,
where the soil Is a black, sandy loam.
In some Instances beets were grown In
this soli that, upon nnnlysls, revealed
22 per cent, of sugar Ueet sugar can
be manufactured profitably from beets
in which tho percentage of sugar Is us
low as 12.
Last yen,' tho average yield of wheat
for Indiana was less than twelve
bushels to the acre, worth nt ruling
prices $7.40. Corn hns not been yield
ing any more than this, and barley,
outs and other cereals do not, accord
ing to tho Press correspondent, make
ns good a return as wheat. Hut from
an aero of well prepared land it is
claimed that fifteen 'tons of beets can
be harvested, worth nt the factory $4.50
a ton, or $67.50. From this sum must
be deducted the cost of plowing, fertil
izer, seed, labor and haulage; but If
this estimate is anywhere near correct,
there should bo a margin of profit much
larger than can ever bo expected from
the Cultivation of the ordinary cereal
It has been computed that It would
require 150 largo factories to produce
the sugar now Imported, and for which
$100,000,000 is annually sent nbroad. In
sugar beet sections where ground sold
for $10 to $20 nn acre previous to the
cultivation of sugar beetB, It is now
selling for $100 to $200 per ncre. In
many communities where the industry
is fully established $300,000 Is distrib
uted In cash annually for beets by a
slr.ie fnctory. The pulp left is found
to be one of the best feeds for cattle
yet discovered.
Obviously this matter Is worthy of
Investigation.
The latest spelling reforme wave
comes by way of Chicago. Following
tlie lead of Superintendent Andrews
the congregation of the University of
Chicago has adopted a resolution In
favor of "foncllc" spelling, and has
suggested that catalogue, pedagogue,
etc., be spelled "cata'og" and "peda
gog." Tho Chicago rcformen are
thoroughly earnest In their efforts and
unless the leading universities of thj
country enn bo persuadoi' to Join hand
jivlth them In this matter, they will
carry forward the buttle undaunted
though nlone.

It will bo useless for any Jingo ele

States to take a hand in the San
Domingo row. The enthusiasm now
manifested by members of the Cuban
war party in criticising the adminis
tration for assuming territorial respon
sibilities that could not bo honorably

trnllzed the effect nf the advice of
those who are anxious that this gov

The Hrltlsh generals In South Africa
at present seem disposed to monopolize
the business of the war correspondent,
hut when the tide turns In favor of
'Tommy Atkins" It l probable that
the press representatives will be al
lowed an opportunity to cause a
buzzing on the wires.
Lieutenant Gllmore's experience with
the "revolutioiituy pattlots" of Luzon

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES
The Conversion of McXinler.
The conversion of William McKlnley
when a boy wnB described today by the
clergyman to whom young McKlnley
wont, says a Cleveland, O., dispatch In
the Sun. Tho minister Is Aaron D.
Morton and his residence Is D96 Central
avenue. Forty-two years ago Mr. Mor
ton was a Methodist circuit rider and
held n revival at Toland, O., where
young McKlnley than lived with his
parents.
"McKlnley was converted at a pray
er meeting," said Mr. Morton. "I re
member tho evening very well. The
congregation that night was small, al
though there had been many largely
attended meetings prior to that time
and McKlnley had attended all of
them. That evening he sat about the
middle of the church. Ho was a very
nttentlvo listener. At my request for
those to stand who wished to express
a desire to become Christians he rose.
I remember his words very well. He
said:
" 'God Is the greatest of all beings,
and religion Is the best of all things In
the world. I have determined, by the
grnce of God, to seek for it until I find
It.
"After his declaration he attended
the revival meetings for three or four
evenings. At thu cxplrntlon of thit
time he said that he found relief and
Joy In religion. He continued to be
very much Interested In the meetings
and ho wns very attentive nt the ser
vices. He pursued a strict study of
religion and religious duties.
"There wbb only one religious ques
tion which troubled the young man.
He was puzzled as to whether he
should be baptized by sprinkling or by
Immersion. Both could then be used
in the Methodist church. In a few
months, however, he decided to be Im
mersed with a number of others, and
having been on probation in the in
terval, he then became a memoer of
the church."
Confessed His Ignorance.
Augustus Blrrell tells ot u'dcllghtful
Incident that occurred nt the "Johnson
Club," which meets four times a year
at the "Old Cheshire Cheese," a steak-nnd-chop
house In Wine Office Court,
London, Just out of Fleet street, und
where Its members dine nnd talk and
"explore tho mind" of their hero, Dr.
Samuel Johnson, says the Buffalo Com
mercial. At one of these dinners there
happened to be present Bonnor, the
famous Australian cricketer, who, con
fessed to the company that until that
evening he had never heard of Dr.
Samuel Johnson. Mr. Blrrell says that
at this "some one tittered." Where
upon "Bonnor, the bearded, the terrific,
clear-eyed, drew himself up to his full
height of six feet six, and said: 'Yes?
and what Is more, I come from a great
country where you might ride a horse
sixty miles a day for three months, and
never meet anybody who had. But I
have heard of him now, and can only
say, that were I not Bonnor the crick
eter, I would be Samuel Johnson!' "
Defining an Agnostic.
A certain well-known and Interest
ing woman Is, or was tilt recently,
head mistress of a boarding school for
girls here in town, relates the Wash
ington Star. The rules of the Institu
tion permit the pupils to receive their
friends one evening in each week, an.l
it was on one of theso informal recep
tion occasions that tho head teacher,
passing through the library, noticed
one of the younger girls listening in
tently to a self-satisfied looking young
man. What ho was saying seemed
half to terrify, half to shock, but whol
ly to fascinate the girl. She hung on
his every word. She looked up as the
teacher came near.
"Oh, Miss Blank." she asked. In a
voice full of awe and of admiration,
"what is an agnostic? Mr. Spatts
says he is one."
The head mistress stopped short and
turned on the mnn a look that made
his ears turn scarlet.
"An agnostic." said she, "Is a very
young man who says he knows noth
ing, but who thinks he knows every
thing." He Knew the Process.
There is a bright little page at the
capital, says the Washington Star.who
Is undergoing his first experience as a
wage-earner. He is as sharp as a
briar and quick at retort. The other
night at dinner his sister nnd his moth
er were Jollying the little fellow about
tho disposition of his first month's
wages. His sister said that on pay day
she Intended to stick to him closer
than a brother.
"No," said his mother, "on pay day
you will see me walking down tho
avenue holding on to" his arm"
"Holding on to my leg, you mean,"
said the boy, quick as a flash.
A Victim of Habit.
A fisherman, in whose house was
neither clock nor watch, got out of his
bed one morning, but did not Know at
what time, relates the Scottish Ameri
can. Accordingly, he went to the door
In his night garb and looked out to see
if, from the appearance of things
mound, ho could discover tho hour of
the morning. When standing in this
state a fellow fisherman came past,
hurrying away to begin the labors oi
the day. Having learned from him
that It was half-past 5 o'clock, he said:
"Weel, I maun gang awa In and rise."
THE NECESSARY REMEDY.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Dr. Allen, of the Scranton board ot
health, calls attention to an insufficient
ly appreciated cause of the spread of
contagious diseases In that city. He kuya
that children In whose homes Infectious
diseases exist are permitted to ns'eei
nto with the children of the neighbor
hood. The laxity In regard to qauinntlno
precautions which prevails In Beranton Is
common everywhare. In somo Instances
health authorities and samtiry oll.cers
meet with great difficulty In the enforce
ment ot laws and orJIuances relative ti
contagious diseases, and occattcinnlly Und
themselves obllsed to resort to physical
force In the performance cf Ihelr duties.
Tho only remedy lies In holding those
who vlolato tho law to strict account
