THE 2SUGAK JiEET.
Willets & Gray, the sugar brokers of
Kew York, made the following remarks
in their last circular:
The domestic beet-sugar industry of
Ithe United States shows some very
notable features, which are quite sur
prising when considered from some
points of view. The result of the cam
paign in ton3 is below last year, but
ihe gain in factories built and pro
posed is quite important. The object
Jesson of a few well-managed factories
paying 20 per cent dividends to stock
holders and dividing $200,000 among
farmers near by, as in Utah, is having
a wonderful effect upon both capital
ists and farmers in neighboring states
and localities, and the year 1899 bids
fair to see much greater activity and
advance in this industry, regardless of
any objection or fears from without.
The industry itself is expected to be
strong enough in its position to take
care of itself against all opposition, po
litically or otherwise, by the time that
any important action may be required.
Certainly the progress made .thi3 year
a3 phenomenal and unexpected gener
ally, not as to sugars produced, but as
to factories built and contemplated,
and as to progress made by farmers in
experimental work. We shall continue
to give the details of new enterprises
as fast as they reach us, but, as here-
toiore, snail avoid publishing mere
rumors without authentic information.
The sugar beet production may not
he for some time an important factor
in fixing the prices of sugar. At the
same time if that industry is finally
made successful tn a large s:ile in
the mainland, it will seriously affect
tne sugar interests here, some are
disposed to ignore the matter. But it
must not be forgotten that 'the chief in
dustry of the United States is agricul
ture, and that skill in the cultivation
of the soil is increasing with marvel
ous rapidity. The facts show that the
iarmers are gradually becoming con
vinced that the beet crop may be made
more profitable than any general crop.
What is needed especially," in order to
make a success of it, is correct prac
tical knowledge of the matter of cul
tivation. The time has almost passed
when .the farmer worked blindly in de
veloping a new industry. He may now,
before making any efforts in new di
rections, obtain the most reliable data
from the great scientilic corps that is
supported by the Federal Government,
and furnishes the farmer with prac
tical results, not theories.
So far as our own sugar interests are
concerned, the important fact seems to
be established that the sugar-beet in
dustry has. come to stay, even far east
of the Rocky mountains, and if it has
come to stay, it will grow.
tern o)t education. The inevitable re
sult of education is the creation of
"wants." And there is no correspond
ing education in the "supply of rants."
Young men and young women are
turned loose upon the world without
special training in any of the supply
producing arts. The "wants" make the
standard of expenditure. Education
stops there. The thirsty travelers
stand on the brink of a deep well of
water, but cannot make a bucket and
ropo to reach it.
Then comes weariness, and despair,
and finally suicide in such alarming
numbers. What is a "Paradise" to an
educated European, who immigrates to
the United States, is simply "Hell" to
the native horn.
American civilization gradually
builds on better lines, but the bricks
laid by the present generation are ce
mented with distress and suffering.
The education of the brain and hand
will lay the higher stories in bricks
made with straws of sounder educa
tion.

SUICIDE IN THE STATES.
Rev. J. A. Cruzan, now pastor of the
Foreign Church at Hilo, Hawaii, once
delivered a lecture in -Berkeley, Cal., on
the subject of suicide in the United
States.
He stated that one person in 13,500
In England; one in 2,700 in France;
ono in 1,500 in the United States com
mitted suicide. His belief was that the
appalling frequency of this crime in,the
States was due to high pressure in liv
ing, and that the crime would increase
unless the people struck a slower gait.
What is the difficulty? The struggle
for existence in the United States is
slight in comparison with the struggle
in Europe. The resources of the Amer
ican continent have hardly been
scratched. Land, which is the desire
and hope of all in Europe, is cheap in
the States. The Government has been
for fifty years utterly prodigal in giv
ing a home to every one who wanted
one. The price of food is cheaper than
it is in Europe. Education is free.
Democracy rules. There is no caste.
There are no artificial social distinc
tions. There are no commercial restric
tions in trade between the forty-five
great States. The political orators tell
us on every occasion that America is
the land of the free and the home of
the brave. The religious teachers tell
us that it is the land of Christian
homes. It is the paradise of the poor of
all other lands.
In spite of all this, a most alarming
number of people become tired of life
and dash themselves into eternity.
Unrest, unhappiness, prevade all
classes alike. The "quiet home" ceases
to be an institution. The good people
listen reverently every Sunday to the
preacher's exhortation to put their
treasures in. Heaven, but spend the
rest of the week in putting their trea
sures .on earth. Even with the most
intelligent Christian communities,
wealth commands the highest consid
eration, while character and philantro
phy are regarded as excellent things
to talk about, and are recommended
io the careful consideration of neigh
bors, and the heathen.
That Senatorial contest in California
must be of deepest interest. It has
more space in the San Francisco papers
than murders or suicides.
The Oregon, en route to eastern wa
ters in the interest of the Open Door,
is keeping open house at Honolulu and
the hospitality of the officers is much
appreciated.
Cooking classes have been discon
tinued in the San Francisco public
schools. This was not compelled by
the health authorities, but was forced
from lack of school funds.
The American commissioners to the
Philippines have gone by the northern
route. If they fail to call at Honolulu
on their return they will have failed
to make the most of their chances.
The strenuous efforts to preserve the
V. O. T. U. temple at Chicago as a dis
tinct monument to Frances E. Willard
is a fine example of tenacity and
strength of purpose backed by senti
ment almost entirely.
In all this controversy about the
quality of the army beef it is strange
that the contractors are so completely
in the background. Yet another strange
thing is that there has been no hint
of any questioning the provisions sup
plied the navy.
It may be taken that despite the fact
none of the new fangled or freak ideas
were utilized miring ine war, progress
was great in both the army and navy.
j! that the volunteer army needed, by
the way, was a few trained soldiers
in the direction of offense and defense
and some cooks.
It becoming evident that there has
been planted here seed that will in
time grow into some such manifesta
tion as a showing of resources by
means of an exposition. A permanent
display with Mr. C. I,. Wight's coffee
samples as a nucleus would prove at
tractive and useful.
ihere is published, in the Advertiser
the best resume at hand of a most
important new shipping law. It goes
i r : l l
mio oueraiion on me Luaiiuuim iiiia
month, but will not rule here until
Congress extends the navigation law3
to the group. Incomplete as is the
synopsis, it is enough to warrant the
prediction that it will cause much fric
tion at first and then likely drop into
ihe dead-letter condition.

WATER.
OOO
If the advice given in those three
words is heeded, good health will fol
low. City water is not good for many
reasons, principally, because It Is con
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.
EXCERCISE
Our doctors are busy treating pa
tients who aro suffering from com
plaints, more especially malarial dis
orders, which will be materially bene
fitted if they drink a water that Is pure
and possesses curative features, as does
Bartlett Spring "Water.
DUE
Ask your family physician about the
water, and If he is honest he will en
dorse Its use.
All who have drank the water speak
in the highest of terms for It.
This climate demands the use of
such a water and you cannot afford to
be without It.
VIGILANCE.
We will serve free of cbargo a glass
of this wonderful natural Spring
water at our Soda Counter to all who
care to come and te3t Its virtues. We
deliver the water to your home in case
lots at $G.50 for 50 pints. for CO
quarts.
Much of this abnormal distress in
such a rich country as the United
States, is due to the unbalanced sys-

In the opinion of expert
cowboys and ranchmen and
their idea in this instance
is regarded as proof positive,
and accepted by all who ride
the horse, whether it be for
pleasure or on duty, the
MEXICAN
SADDLE
is as near perfect in con
struction and general appear
ance as it is possible to make
saddle. A great many
features of the Mexican Sad
dle resemble the old Ha
waiian Saddle, made by the
natives years a0 and which
seem to grow in greater de
mand as they become scarce.
The tree of this saddle is
identical; if possible the
iWexican is an improvement
in that it is beautifully stamp
ed and decorated, has com
plete box stirrips and is well
finished.
The saddles range in price
from 525 to S40.
