It is an undoubted fact that a multitude of ultra Republicans and protectionists registered an inward protest when Congress enacted the law given a bounty to sugar manufacturers in the United States. While, however, they maintained that such form of encouragement of an infant industry was most pernicious and unfair, they also deprecated the repeal of the bounty act on the ground that such act was in the nature of a contract, and that the government should respect its contracts as individuals are required to do. But the bounty act having been repealed, however unjustly, there are few who have the hardihood to ask for its reenactment; but he is not a good Republican who questions the proposed action of Congress in placing a protective duty on sugar sufficient to encourage the establishment of factories in the twenty States of the Union in which it has been demonstrated that sugar beets can be successfully grown. The following article from a writer in the New York Press on this subject is worthy of careful consideration: Tea and sugar. Both important articles of daily consumption, and both for the moment under discussion in the Ways and Means Committee. Our annual sugar bill comes to $125,000,000; our annual tea bill, assuming the average price of tea to be 50 cents per pound, to $50,000,000. Whatever may be said of the profits of the sugar business, the profits of the retail tea business are enormous. A large tea dealer in New York said that he could supply 10,000,000 pounds of tea for delivery in a few days right here in New York produced in all the States of the upper Mississippi valley and upon the Pacific coast. Why should not these hundred millions which we now send abroad every year to buy our sugar be paid to the farmers of that section of the United States; and to those of the cane-producing sections of the South? In campaigning in Nebraska, in Washington, in Oregon and in California, the farmers were distinctly told that the election of McKinley meant the capture of this additional industry, and they will expect that this promise shall be redeemed. We are altogether too apt to dismiss a matter, vital to the prosperity of thousands, with hardly a thought beyond that this is the old beet sugar question again; this merely means paying something out of the National Treasury for the purpose of benefiting some individuals. There is no breadth of statesmanship nor patriotism in such a view as this. It is simply the self-assurance of ignorance of the subject, and an incapacity to understand the magnitude of an industry capable of supplying a commodity for which, as I have shown, the people of the United States pay $125,000,000 per annum. The bill of particulars in this case, though too long for the average reader and too intricate for the average comprehension, merits examination at this time, when the matter is under consideration by the Ways and Means Committee. Does it occur to these newspapers and statesmen who sneer at the possibilities of the beet sugar industry that nearly 1,000 factories, with a capacity of 350 tons of beets each for every working day of twenty-four hours, would be required to make the amount of sugar we consume? Does it occur to them that each one of these factories would have to work up the product of 2,000 acres of sugar beets and thus utilize the product of nearly 2,000,000 acres of land? Does it occur to them that nearly 20,000,000 tons of beets would be required in this colossal process, and lastly, does it occur to them that the men employed in the factories and in the beet fields would be represent a population of 2,500,000 of our people? Now, I do not mean to assert that 2,500,000 of people would be actively employed all the year around, but that this number of our population, REAL ESTATE TRANSITION For the Week Ending March 14 Furnished by the Orange County Tax pany; Santa Ana Anaheim Co-operative Bee Co to Max Nebelung—Part 24, Anaheim extension, 5.6 ac Stearns Rancho Co. to S.D.-S1 of SE1 of SEC. 19 R11 W, 20 acres; $10.

Both important articles of daily consumption, and both for the moment under discussion in the Ways and Means Committee. Our annual sugar bill comes to $125,000,000; our annual tea bill, assuming the average price of tea to be 50 cents per pound, to $50,000,000. Whatever may be said of the profits of the sugar business, the profits of the retail tea business are enormous. A large tea dealer in New York said that he could supply 10,000,000 pounds of tea for delivery in a few days right here in New York at 10 cents per pound. And yet much of this poor stuff is peddled out to the people for 50 cents per pound. No wonder the grocer can afford to give away tea sets and chromos and blacking boxes and baby chairs and perambulators with the purchases of these sweepings of the tea warehouses of China, Japan and India. When you purchase the next pound of tea, thrifty housekeeper, recall this little table: AVERAGE COST PER POUND. Year Ending June 30. Imports in Pounds to the United States. Average Cost of Imports: Gents per Pound. 1886...81,887,998 19.6 1887...89,831,221 18.7 1888...84,627,870 15.8 1889...79,575,984 16.0 1890...83,886,892 15.0 1891...82,453,339 17.0 1892...90,079,039 16.0 1893...89,061,287 16.0 1894...33,815,717 15.1 1895...97,253,458 13.5 The above shows the importation in pounds of tea into the United states and its average cost per pound to the importer. Note the average cost per pound—thirteen and one-half cents—for 1895. Nine-tenths of all the tea must be of the poorest quality. It is impossible to even harvest it with proper care. The good tea, they say, is rapidly becoming extinct in the United States, because all the spurious teas of the Orient are coming into the ports of this country. In the consideration of tea and sugar the Ways and Means Committee will have to decide between two or three propositions: (a) A revenue tariff on sugar, (b) sugar on the free lists and bounty for native producers, and (c) a sufficiently high rate of duty on sugar to really protect the home product and firmly establish the beet sugar industry. On tea there will be a strong petition for a bill to place a duty of fifteen to twenty cents per pound, and the reasons will be twofold—namely, to prevent the importation of spurious and poor grades of tea, with which the public are defrauded, and indirectly for the encouragement of tea growing in the South. These are both important questions to every household, and worth looking into carefully. It will not do for tariff farmers to underestimate the great importance to our agricultural interests of the beet sugar industry. For nearly twenty years I have been endeavoring to emphasize the advantages of this industry. Judge Kelley of Pennsylvania was one of the first men who occur to them that each one of these factories would have to work up the product of 2,000 acres of sugar beets and thus utilize the product of nearly 2,000,000 acres of land? Does it occur to them that nearly 20,000,000 tons of beets would be required in this colossal process, and lastly, does it occur to them that the men employed in the factories and in the beet fields would be represent a population of 2,500,000 of our people? Now, I do not mean to assert that 2,500,000 of people would be actively employed all the year around, but that this number of our population, part of them dependents upon those actively employed, would be benefited; that it would add a few hundred dollars to the annual products of many thousands farmers and just make up the difference between poverty and prosperity. The benefits from such an industry would be widespread, as nearly the whole of this vast expenditure represents labor from the growing of the beet until the sugar is refined and ready for the market. PLACENTIA POINTERS. All through the rainy winter work has been going behind, and now the work is rushing everybody; consequently every one is busy. The packing house has shut down for a week, the Washington navel crop having been moved, Australians and sweets are carrying well and it was thought best not to rush them. Oranges so far have sold well, and it is expected they will be higher. Mrs. Strain recently sold a box of pomalo or grape fruit for $16 in San Francisco. W. F. Botsford has flumed his ranches with cement flumes or ditches, so he can irrigate with furrows or blocks. Mr. Wilshire is also fluming all of his orchards for furrow irrigation. W. Berkenstock is just finishing fumigating the Chapman orchard, and C. W. Alms has the job of pruning it. A bad break occurred on the Placentia ditch, a new cement arch having been put in across the avenue, closing up the gutter on both sides, and in the last rain the water accumulated in a pond, finally breaking the side of the cement ditch. It has been repaired and a gate put in so the storm water can escape into the ditch. If judgment had been used in the first place the company would not have had a bill of expense to pay for repairing the ditch. The old farmers' union, which was organized five years ago for the purpose of selling the cabbage crop, has split up. A large number of growers withdrawing and organizing a new association called the Placentia Cabbage Growers' Association, with J. M. Woodward, President; A. Pierotti, Vice President; A. S.

These are both important questions to every household, and worth looking into carefully. It will not do for tariff farmers to underestimate the great importance to our agricultural interests of the beet sugar industry. For nearly twenty years I have been endeavoring to emphasize the advantages of this industry. Judge Kelley of Pennsylvania was one of the first men to discern what it would really mean to our Western farmers, though, from no fault of his own, he failed to secure the needful legislation in the tariff bill which was passed when he was chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. The first really satisfactory legislation was inaugurated by the McKinley bill. Any one who will take the trouble to study what has been done in the last five years will find that beet sugar can be grown and developed as an industry in at least twenty different States out of the Union. It is no ideal prophecy to say that had the McKinley bill remained in force for ten or fifteen years we would have seen beet sugar factories erected in all these states, and the United States supplied from its own soil with its sugar. It will simply be impossible for the Republican party to redeem the promises made in its platform, in its newspapers and by its speakers on the stump, in every agricultural community, unless it faces squarely and manfully the beet sugar question. Note this from the platform of the Republican party in 1896: "We condemn the present Administration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of the United States. The Republican party favors such protection as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which we are sending annually more than $100,000,000 to foreign countries." In the above utterance the Republican party distinctly puts itself down as the friend of the sugar beet industry and it has distinctly and in terms promised the people to establish this industry, and it, furthermore, agreed that legislation in this branch of industry should be with that end, and not for the purpose of raising revenue. As I have said, it has been shown beyond a doubt that beet sugar can be successfully used in the first place the company would not have had a bill of expense to pay for repairing the ditch. The old farmers' union, which was organized five years ago for the purpose of selling the cabbage crop, has split up. A large number of growers withdrawing and organizing a new association called the Placentia Cabbage Growers' Association, with J. M. Woodward, President; A. S. Bradford, Secretary; and C. W. Alms, Treasurer. The new association controls one hundred and eighty acres of cabbage, more than two-thirds of the entire crop. The old union has decided to ship through the American Fruit Growers. The new association will sell to Earl Fruit Co. f. o. b. and C. O. D. W. B. Hervey has at last succeeded in getting water at a depth of over three hundred feet.

WASHINGTON, March 15.—The President to-day sent the following message to Congress: Regretting the necessity which has required me to call you together. I feel your assembling in extraordinary session is indispensable because of the condition in which we find the revenues of the government. It is conceded that its current expenditures are greater than its receipts, and that such condition has existed now more than three years. With unlimited means at our command we are presenting the remarkable spectacle of increasing the public debt by borrowing money to meet the ordinary outlays incident upon even the economical and prudent administration of the government. An examination of the subjects discloses this fact in every detail and leads inevitably to the conclusion that the condition of the revenue which allows it is unjustifiable and should be corrected. We find by report of the Secretary of the Treasury that the revenue of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, from all sources, were $425,868,260.22, and expenditures for all purposes were $415,953,806.56, leaving the excess of receipts over expenditures of $9,-914,543.66. During that fiscal year $40,570,467.98 were paid upon the public debt, which has been reduced since March 1st, 1889, $259,076,890 and annual interest charge decreased $11,684,576.60. The receipts of the government from all sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, amounted to $416,716,561.94, and its expenditures to $459,374,887.65, showing an excess of receipts over expenditures of $264,167.29. Since that time the receipts of no fiscal year, and with but few exceptions, of no month of any fiscal year have exceeded the expenditures. The receipts of the government from all sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, were $372,892. PALACE Shaving and Billiard Parlor. FIRST-CLASS TONSORIAL ARTISTS. BILLIARD & POOL TABLES.

He was born in 1794, and died in 1827, and yet in that short life he established a lasting reputation not only as a scholar, but as a most popular poet. His best known poems are the "Griechenlieder," the Greek songs which he wrote during the Greek war of independence. These Greek songs, in which his love of the ancient Greeks is mingled with his admiration for heroes such as Kanaris, Marcos Bozaris and others who helped to shake off the Turkish yoke, produced a deep impression all over Germany, perhaps because they breathed the spirit of freedom and patriotism, which was then systematically repressed in Germany itself. The Greeks never forgot the services rendered by him in Germany, as by Lord Byron in England, in rousing a feeling of indignation against the Turk, and as the marble for Lord Byron's monument in London was sent by some Greek admirers of the great poet, the Greek parliament voted a shipload of Pentelico marble for the national monument erected to my father in Dessau. His lyrical poems also are well known all over Germany, particularly the cycles of the "Schone Mullerin" and the "Winterraise," both so marvelously set to music by Sohubert and others. He certainly had caught the true tone of the poetry of the German people, and many of his poems have become national property, being sung by thousands who do not public debt, which has been reduced since March 1st, 1889, $259,076,890 and annual interest charge decreased $11,684,576.60. The receipts of the government from all sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, amounted to $416,716,561.94, and its expenditures to $459,374,887.65 showing an excess of receipts over expenditures of $264,167.29. Since that time the receipts of no fiscal year, and with but few exceptions, of no month of any fiscal year have exceeded the expenditures. The receipts of the government from all sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, were $372,892.498.29 and its expenditures $442,605.758.87 leaving a deficit, the first since the resumption of specie payments, of $69,983,230.58. Notwithstanding there was a decrease of $16,769,128.78 in the ordinary expenses of the government, as compared with the previous fiscal year, its income was still not sufficient to provide for its daily necessities, and the gold reserve in the treasury for the redemption of green-backs was drawn upon to meet them. But this did not suffice, and the government then resorted to loans to replenish the reserve. In February 1894,$50,000,000 in bonds were issued and in November following a second issue of $50,000,000 was deemed necessary. The sum of $117,171,795 was realized by the sale of these bonds, but the reserve was steadily decreased until February 8, 1895, the third sale of $62,315,400 bonds,$64,116,244 was announced to Congress. The receipts of the government's first fiscal year, ending June 30, 1895, were $39,373,203.30 and expenditures $483,178,426.49, showing a deficit of $48,805,223.18. Another loan of $1C0,C00,000 was negotiated by the government in February, 1896, the sale netting 111,166,246 and swelling the aggregate bonds issued within three years to $262,315.600. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896,the revenues of the government from all sources amounted to $409,475,408.78 while its expenditures were $434,678,654.48 or an excess of expenditures over receipts of $25,203,245.70. In other words,the total receipts of the three fiscal years，ending June 30，1896，were insufficient by $137，811，729.46 to meet the total expenditures,nor has this condition since improved. For the first half of the present fiscal yearthe receipts of the government，exclusive of postal revenue，were $157，507，608.76 and expenditures exclusive of postal service，$195，410，0C0.29，或an excess of expenditures over receipts of $35，902，396.46.In January this yearthe receipts，exclusive of postal revenues，were $24，316，994 29,a deficit of $5，952，397 24for each month.In the treasury this yearthe receipts，exclusive of postal revenues，were $24，400，997 38,and expenditures，exclusiveof postal service，$28，796，076 66,a deficit of $4，395，053 28，或a total deficit of $186，031，580 44for three yearsand eight months ending March 1，1897.

Chinese Jewelers. There are two jewelers in Chinatownbut their establishments do not resemble the ordinary places known as jewelry shops.The Chinese jeweler is a manufacturer as well as a shopkeeper.His establishment is a tiny room up one or two narrow flights of stairs.The room in one place is divided by an openwork iron partition.with an arch and a counter near the windowwhere the jeweler stands at work.He is an elderly Chinaman.wearing glasses,and he works over a tiny fire in the window.All his work is done by hand,and some of it is beautiful There are heavy silver braceletswhich open with a hinge and fasten with an odd little staple.The fine raised pattern is cut out,every bit of it,band.Here are gold rings made in the same way They are fine rings,made of 24 carat gold.Almost nothing is kept in stock There may chance to be a few rings and braceletswhich are taken from a small safe.Most of the goods are made to order When the manufacturer is asked the price of a ring,h weighs it before he answers.His scales consist of a slender stick of ivory,pursued a third of a yard long,covers with Chinese characters.At one end is a small brass plate suspended from the stick by fine threads,and a very small weight,slowing along to the balancing point by the jeweler as he holds the little machine in his hand.The front part of the little shop is filled with a stone,dishpan,dishes-as many things as could be crowded into it.-New York Times.

His lyrical poems also are well known all over Germany, particularly the cycles of the "Schone Mullerin" and the "Winterreise," both so marvelously set to music by Schubert and others. He certainly had caught the true tone of the poetry of the German people, and many of his poems have become national property, being sung by thousands who do not know whose poems they are singing.—"Recollections" of Max Muller. Well Meant. American wheelmen traveling alone in Europe have many queer experiences. A young man who was bicycling in southern France was pushing his wheel up a steep hill when he overtook a peasant with a donkey cart who was rapidly becoming stalled, though the little donkey was doing his best. The benevolent wheelman, putting his left hand against the back of the cart and guiding his wheel with the other, pushed so hard that the donkey, taking fresh courage, pulled his load up to the top successfully. The summit reached, the peasant burst into thanks to his benefactor. "It was very good of you, monsieur," he said, "I should never in the world have got up the hill with only one donkey."—Youth's Companion. Inns in Hungary. Ways insn in Hungary generally rejoice in very quaint titles. This one was called the Dropperin, and had the usual sign outside—vis, a long pole, with a wooden ring and a gigantic wine bottle suspended from it. The system of keeping the scores is primitive, but practical. The regular customers and the innkeeper each have a bit of wood called rovas, with the name of the person written on it, and every liter of wine consumed is marked by each making a notch on his respective bit of wood. When the score is paid off, both the rovas are burned. Consequently you hear the peasants inviting each other to ingyonroviassmora, literally, drink on my "knotch stick," which sounds most comical.—H Ellen Browning in "Wanderings In Hungary."

In January this year the receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, were $24,316,994 29, a deficit of $5,952,397 24 for each month. In the treasury this year the receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, were $24,400,997 38, and expenditures, exclusive of postal service, $28,796,076 66, a deficit of $4,395,053 28, or a total deficit of $186,031,580 44 for the three years and eight months ending March 1, 1897. Not only are we without surplus in the treasury, but with an increase in the public debt there has been a corresponding increase in the annual interest charge from $22,893,883 20 in 1802, to $34,337,297 60 in 1896, or an increase of $11,493,414 40. It may be urged that even if the revenues of the government had been sufficient to meet all its ordinary expenses during the past three years, the gold reserve would still have been insufficient to meet the demands upon it and that bonds would necessarily have been issued for its repletion. Be this as it may, it is clearly manifest without denying or affirming the correctness of such a conclusion, that the debt would have been decreased at least the amount deficient and business confidence immeasurably strengthened throughout the country. Congress should promptly correct existing conditions. Ample revenues must be supplied not only for ordinary expenses, of the government, but for the prompt payment of liberal pensions and the liquidation of the principal and interest of the public debt. In raising revenues the duties should be so levied upon foreign products as to preserve the home market so far as possible to our producers; revive and increase our manufactures; to relieve and encourage our agricultural industries; to increase our domestic and foreign commerce; to aid and develop mining and building; and to render labor in every field of useful occupation liberal wages and adequate rewards to which skill and industry are justly entitled. The necessity of passing a tariff law which shall provide ample revenue need not be further urged. The imperative demand of such a measure, and to this object I earnestly recommend Congress shall make every endeavor. Before other business is transacted let us first provide sufficient revenue to faithfully administer the government without contracting further debt or a continued disturbance of our finances. A Bird of the Far North. During Dr. Nansen' long voyage into the Arctic sea in search of the north pole he came upon a group of four islands in the neighborhood of Franz Josef Land, near which he saw large numbers of a very rare and beautiful bird known as Ross' gull. It is described as "the most beautiful of all the animal forms of the frozen regions," and as the "most markedly polar of all bird forms." It is distinguished from other species of gull by its beautiful rose colored breast, its wedge shaped tail and its airy flight." Speaking of the discovery of birds, Dr. Nansen says, "Hitherto it has only been seen by chance on the utmost confines of the unknown polar sea, and no one knew whence it came or whether it went, but here we had unexpectedly come upon its native haunt, and although it was too late in the year to find its nest there could be no doubt about its breeding in this region."—Youth's Companion.

An extraordinary discussion on the subject of cannabalism took place at the recent meeting of the Ethnographical society in Paris. A curious tribute was paid to the superior qualities of woman, but one which she will hardly appreciate. A member of the society read a paper in which he declared that among savage nations those who were addicted to cannibalism were the most healthy and vigorous. He sought to prove this by descriptions of several races. This argument was directed partly against vegetarianism, for savages who abstain from eating one another usually have a meager supply of animal food. The scientist further made the shocking statement that the flesh of women was much more nutritious and digestible than that of men. Many savage tribes recognized this fact and ate only women when the supply was sufficient. In some races, however, the flesh of men, though less palatable than that of women, was preferred because the virtues of the deceased were supposed to pass into the eater.—San Francisco Examiner. They Were Ready. One of the district school trustees was a crank on the subject of fire, and when he called around with the examining board he always confined his remarks to a question addressed to the pupils as to what they would do in case the building should catch fire. The teacher was acquainted with his hobby, so she prompted her scholars as to the answer they should give when he arose to propound his acustomed inquiry. When the board called, however, this particular trustee, perhaps from a desire to emulate his associates in their addresses, rose and said: "You boys and girls have paid such nice attention to Mr. Jones' remarks, I wonder what you would do if I were to make you a little speech?" Quick as thought 100 voices piped in unison: "Form a line and march down stairs."—Detroit Free Press. Heard From.
