The I*ll^.- d States p?o --pl«» consume al.out 5.t4»,00O.0O0 pounds Of sugar evi.ry jvar. with an ever in- creasing demand, according to the de gree the taste for sweets is acquired. The Republican convention, while court ii g the Louisiana pl.ur.-e-r and the beet sugar producer of the North, prob ably squinted at Hawaii as a future source of supply, even under the Unit ed States flag. But since the adminis tration elected on that platform came into power, Cuba, Porio Rico and the i Hawaiian islands, to say nothing of the Philippines, have come Into our na tional possession. What now shall be come of the St. Louis plank? If our tropica] colonies shall give to us all | that we need, the American farmers' j bounty must inevitably disappear; for must not our new acquisitions be sup ported, and must this support not de | pend upon the product of which they I are capable, and the amount thereof? The sugar and tobacco of our outlying possessions must of necessity come into the ports of the United States un taxed if consistency and the spirit of fair dealing are to be maintained, and these two items contribute approxi mately one-third of our customs rev enues at the present time under exist ing laws. If we are to admit sugar free from our possessions in the West Indies, as well as those in the Pacific ocean, will not the effect be to smash th.* provisions of the Dingley bill into a condition beyond recognition and at the same time put an end to the beet sugar industry in the United States? How will our political economists meet this very positive proposition and its alternative? Commissioner Powderly'* Report. The annual report of Immigration Commissio earn] rowderly lias b< i n submitted to the secretary of the treasury and shows that the decrease the nun.bei- of 1 m migrants arrivteg during the fiscal year i nding June ?0, IS9B, as compared with those of the year previous, was only 1.553, the total being 229,299. Of these 136,776 were males. Italy con tributed tii" largest number, viz., 58, --613; followed by Russia with 27,221; Ire land, 26,128; Germany, 17,111; Sweden, and England, 9,877. Those de b.ui.il represented a total of 3,030, or about 1 1-3 per cent, and of this number 2,261 were paupers and not acceptable because of their liability to become a public charge. Those coming under the ban of contract laborers were 417. Those returned on account of disease The immigrants were classified by Occupation as follow.-;: Laborers, 52, --631; servants, 22,666; farmers, 16.248, and among si isa ngers were ."I actors, 59 artists, 153 clergymen, 12 editors, 37 lawyers, 81 physicians, 130 bi ulptors, 5 bankers and 223 musicians. These contributions of the professional ai i capitalistic element, and especially by the steerage method of travel, would seem to indicate that some 1 branches were overcrowded on the other side of the sea, and that some of the voyagers at least had been at tracted hither by thi* advertisement of our overworked "era of prosperity" during the past twelve or fifteen months. To thus, who look with favor upon tin inert ase of population through the process of Immigration the total, even ..li it did prove a little below that ni 1897, ought t.i be satisfactory. The percentage of laborers, however, bear ing with th.-m no other evidence of skill In j oi.-l that of their title cannot proHprly be regai led aa a wholesome atity In view of the already con gested conditions existing here. Al -..-h during the heavy Immigration lis the country was on the of or engaged in war, it is evident that the fact did not prove deterrent, and it is naturally to be assumed tint, un less our laws aie still further amend ed ai the short session of congress now approaching, the number of new arri val-, will .x.-.-.i during thi- next cur rent year those of the present. Commissioner Powderly ad. .. some ideas In regard to the further treatment of this subject which are ! both reason;! 1.1.- and timely. For hi st;.no. he favors an Increase of the pita tax from $1 to J2, his pur being to provide a fund which • win enlarge the usefulness of the bu : in Its operations looking to In king the facilities for gi eater pro tection against the admission of crim inal and other undesirable classes. He I rec mends the repeal of the law prohibiting the expenditure of a larger sum far the care of immigration at any port than may hive been collected ich port. Thts pr postttoct also seems fair and reasonable. No one 1 >rt has a m ■•■..poly of the immlgra and the law ought to be ■ to apply more generally, so that ■3 bI -in miy b ■ operated without f:iv..r to certain localities as ISI oth. ts. Sncceas to the Niw Democracy. The adoption last evening of the ar ticles of organization of the new city and county Democracy closes the books of the organisations of th and makes the Democracy of this ' t ounty a single and powerful body, j Much g.i-od may l>e expected from the work that was so well begun in the ! framing of the plan of organization. New men and old, the best thought in the party, gave their time and efforts j to the production of a scheme that ; would be Altogether acceptable and at I the same time effective. It was eon ! ceived in the first Instance that a true Democracy could only oorae out of the forming of- a powerful governing ■. . Th. scheme as adopted looks ! sound .uid leaves no room for com plaint on the part of any true Democ rat As the direct result of last Bight's work, the Democracy may look forward with certainty to the asc ot the rt. rty at the polls at the tion In the spring of 1900. It is but ner. ess aiy that the people carry , out the work to which the leaders of this new movement have given so \ much of their valuable time and thought. Success to the new Democ racy; Our Northern Visitor. St. Paul and Minnesota generally has been entertaining during the past twelve or fifteen hours one of those white-winged messengers from the North whose advent is usually expect ed at this season of the year. In fact, if he fails to come. Thanksgiving day seems incomplete in the elements which contribute to the proper enjoyment of tb- annual festival. The snow storm which greeted th» people yesterday morning provided something In the way of surprise: but everyone appeared lo look cheerful, and extend it a hearty welcome. Rosy cheeks were to be found on every street corner and back of them appeared to exist a fund of good nature. Even th» ■tr. t ear nwtorme.-i and conductors took everything pleasantly as it came along in its sugar-coating way. But there is another side to the visi tation and one which ought to appeal THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE- TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22, 1893. to the kindly instincts of those who can enjoy the storm without discom fort to themselves or their families. There are many who by the advent of snow are driven to dark and gloomy quarters, unprovided with the neces sities of life and the means of securing which are destroyed by the sudden coming down of winter upon them. The incident ought to cause those wh_ are privileged to enjoy the luxuries of life to think and in a substantially generous way of those who in the b!ec-kness of present surroundings must necessarily suffer from deprivation. A little opening of the heart and loosen ing of the heart strings in a material way and on well directed lines will contribute a great deal to the enjoy ment of our passing Thanksgiving season and add to the pleasure of the giver as well as to that of the recipient. And after all lt is not so very beau tiful. Salisbury's warning to Russia: "Don't slam the door." There is nothing homeopathic about this first dose of winter. If Don Carlos is king, where does little Alfonso fit Into the pack? Why not allow Senator Ma .-on and Gen. Weyl.r to fight it out? The great question today is: 'Will Sailor Sharkey remember the Maine?" Uncle Sam's idea of the game of diplomacy seems to be to play it with an ax. The plumber a-nd the coal man can - c plainly why ttey should celebrate Tl_-.nkpgiYl.ig. Blanco will not have his turkey at home, but he may be there ln time to hang up his stocking. The weather buscau has a vague idea that Christmas comes the day after the Fourth of July. A Michigan man hanged his son to teach him spelling; more effective for drawing, it would seem. £enor Monterc. Ries should remember that it is e£sier tc break things off than lt is to paste them o.i again. Li Hung Chang is said to be of the tl that he could have damned the Yellow river sufiiclently without leav ing Ptkin. When a man one hundred years old commits suicide the question as to whether life is worth living comes right to the front. Epistles to St. Paul. It was the night of election. William Henry Eustis and a few other prominent Re publfi-ans were watching the returns. All was blue. William Henry nervously tapped with his cane on the well-worn oil cloth. Suddenly his face was transfigured wl.h Joy. Every one looked at the bright screen. "Cannon Falls, that went for Llnd two years ago, goes tbls time for Eustis." 'Well, we saved something, anyway," said Lovejoy, who was wondering lf thero was any show for McKinley to be beaten two years hence. "I spoke at Cannon Falls," sententlously remarked Mr. Eustis. And the party broke up. • • • Charles A. Comiskey, manager of the St. Faul Base Hall club, has been in the north ern part of the state for several days and gome of his friends have been fearful lest l.c might have been -lain by a stray bullet from an Indian Springfield. Late advices, however, a the effect that Comiakcy was still bul let-proof the last of the week. Ban Jehnson was up with the St. Paul captain and a few ardent "fans" in summer. Johnson is ' ___:iethlng of an Izaak Walton, but he wasn't very btrong on deer ar.d he had the usual attack of buck fever when he first sauntered Into the forest primeval back cf Man. field, In Pine county. They had a lot of fun with tha Chieagoaa for a little while, and he was studiously urged to return to the shadow of the Monon building and to stick to the street i ars when he was out of Dearborn street. j Finally Johnson became a little indignant : ar.d one night he came In late. He got the { D_nu] joshing, but took his supper till right ' and then be ask.d if some of the rest of the ' party would go out and help him bring ln game. "Didn't like to spoil the feather., eh?" I suggested Coaiiskey. who thought Ban had ' probably waylaid a partridge after sunset. But they went and lt took six of them to haul ln a 1. 2.0 -pouud mocae. Johnson was given the eaair near the stove. "I thought we ne-ded a bite for b:eakfast." remarked Ban as he snuggled up to the heater. Churches and Their Wor^ Last night a committee from the St. Hose of Lima sodality, in S\ Patrick's pirl-h, wait ed on their pastor, Hey. J. F. Dolphin, and it i Urn with a purse of $150 ao a mark of their appreciation of his labors ln their behalf. Ihe purse was the net proceeds of an en tertainment which the sodality recently ar tanged as a surprise for Father Dolph.n, and which was glvtn at Bt Bernard*! hall. In '■ c v arge of the programme were the Misses Moore, Mary Manion. Mamie Gibbons. Ida Ryan, Mary Lordan. Annl* Gibbons, Mary Prendergast. Mary Ashe, Mamie Coneannon, Angle Mullaly. Kitrie Churchill, Anna Kelly and Sadie Howells. The St. Rose of Lima sodality is In a very flourishing condlUon, having an active mem btrship of 135 members. The marriage of Miss Nellie Murphy, a I member of the sodality, to Michael Hawkins will take place tomorrow, Nov. 23, at 10 a. m., and the complimentary h.nors of the sodality I will be conferred on that occasion. • • • On the wall of the office of the central ' commit!., of St. Paul's religious census la ' a map which looks as though politicians had be. r. planning for a campaign. The heavy blue and red licee, in places following pre •nvi and ward outlines and at times taking , a direction all their own. are the boundariea ' of the thirty-six districts into which St. Paul : has been divided for the work next Friday. Each district wi.l be in charge cf a chairman or superintendent, under whom there will be . irom twenty-five to forty workers actively , engaged In the canvass. From a central point ln his district the i superintendent will direct the course of each ■■ worker. A plan tho wing the blocks to be ' visited by each, and in same cases with the number of houses in each block marked, will be Issued In the early morning. The plan« are so complete that it ts thought no overlapping will be possible, and when the , sun sets on Nov. 25 It la expected that every ■ home within the cfty limits wiil have been ! visited, and a record of the members of tha j family and their church preference will be • recorded on cards provided for the purpose. j These cards, turned over to the superintend : ent of the district when the day eios-es. will '_ by him be passed on to the central committee, where they will be carefully -sorted. Then j the cardg marked "Catholic" will be turned t over to the representatives appointed by I that church to receive them. Thos«e marked Presbyterian will, ln the same way. be turn i ed over to that body, and so on till all cards ; giving a church preference have been disposed : of. Those that remain marked "no church , preference" will be sorted according to , wards; and placed on file in some convenient place in the city, where they will be available to the paster of any church who may care to examine them. Only those questions are a_ked on the cards which experience has proven to be within the limits of Information the public Is most ready to give. It ia not planned v do aay mission. ary work whatever on Friday, beyond assur ing those visited that they will be most wel come at the services of the church they have indicated as the one of their preference. The result of the adoption of these plans has been that workers have been serdirg In their names, through churches and as individuals, from all pa; Ly . When it is und.r stood, however, that nearly 1.000 men, women and boys will . be needed, it may readily be ' conjectured there is still room for more. G. W. Lewis. 22 Gilfn.an block, is chairman of the central committee, and to him names may be sent, and from him information may be obtained. IT IS THANKSGIVING WEEK LOCAL, SOCIETY IS WAITIXG FOR THE MIDWEEK PLEASURES Charity 801 l Wednesday -.Isrht Will Be the Stellar Feature of the Week's Gayety Snow May Spoil the Ysnal Skatlug-. Thanksgiving promises much ln the way of social everts, and ln fact the entire latter part of the week will be unusually gay. Of course, the charity ball takes the lead, and according to those interested will far surpass j all other attempts made by the board of St. Luke's hospital. The Minr.e.ota Stale band. 1 under the direction of C. M. Selling, has be en I secured to furnish music. The weather man serins to have determined | that the merrymakers shall go asleighing j Thanksgiving in real old-fashioned style, but alas for the blossoming hopes of the young folks who had planned to go skating. Such early suow, coming, as this d:d before the ice had formed, is hardly promising. The entertainment committee of the Stan-, dard club has arranged for some kind of a Thanksgiving event, but just what lt is to be Dr. Haas, the chairman, refu.es to state. The club events are usually planned as surprises j from the entertainment committee to the club members and each year something r.ovel and erjoyable ls attempted at Thanksgiving time. Former successes by the committee have led the club to leave everything in its hands and the results have always been more than satisfactory. The Elks have announced a full dress ball for Thankcgiving eve, in Elks' hall. Mis.

Subj.ct: The Home Mothers* Club, the Mother, the Child ancl 1 Co* " - j In Woman's Realm. THE CLUB CORNER. The Globe desire-, to make its cub corner a clear and faithful reflector of Minnesota or ganizations, and to this end extends to _____ an urgent invitation to use its space as an open parliament. In resoonae to a request much interesting information has been received with reference to the organization, purpos- and methods of various clubs. This matter has appeared from time to time in this column, and we wish now to urge club women to continue their corre spondence by sending the Club Corner the salient features of their study or work, and also to forward any interesting points of dis cussion which may arise in their club meet ings. Such comparison of results and inter change of ideas cannot but be helpful to the clubs themselves and instructive to" others. While it is essentially a club column, it is nevertheless open to communications from women who are not club members, and bear ing on matters of interest generally. • * • There is a sorry Incongruity in a company of people studying art and architecture, mod ern ar.d mediaeval, and then making no effort to apply their added knowledge aud culture to Uie home or the community. St. Paul has large aesthetic possibilities and it alsa his many men and women who are IntenMfeed in art, both decorative and creative. The .-.rt schools and art classes have done much to awaken the artistic spirit of the town, but to make it really effective there should be a league organized for city improvement pur poses. • » • Among the Federated Clubs of Minnesota there are many art clubs, some of them so organized as to make practical application of the-ir acqulrenienits., others confined to art study alone. One of the latest to be formed for study purposes is the Ruskin Art Cub of Winona, organized last September, with _v membership limit of forty. • • • One of the newest clubs to be organized ls the "Press Club." Its object is the "mutual help and good cheer of all writers and artists in the Northwest." Membership 13 confined to paid women workers. The club meets monthly aad is officered by Miss Je*ter, of Duluth. as president; Mlss Statham, of the same city, as vice president, and Miss Paul diue, of West Superior, as secretary. • A * "The Lotus club is a reet club, but not an idle one," says a uiembt r, in Harper's j Bazar. "Most of us believe that a woman's I strength does not belong to a club; It Be- I longs to her family and home. The club ; should be a place where .he can gain strength. i not expend if and receive ln return Ured nerves and argumentative hysteria." This is an organization in Biddei'ord, Ue., and was founded by two women who had the courage of their convictions.

The methods of training children have undergone a great change ln ttie last fifty years in this country, says the Youth's Com panion. A venerable lady recently t-old the following incident as a fact in her own childhood: "I belonged," she said, "to a very strict family in which gay clothing was considered a temptation of Satan. I saw one day in a shop window of the village a pretty print, the color of the heart of a .-ouch shell. 1 asked mother to buy It for me. I was ten years old, and never had worn any Hut brown or gray stuff gowns. "She looked amazed and horrified, but without a word went with me to inspect ths pink muslin, and to n-k the price of it. "Coming out of the shop she said: 'Tha pr'..-* is $,">. I will not buy such a piece of vain folly; but If you choose to buy lt for yourself I will not hinder yon.' " 'I have no money,' I exclaimed. " 'If you will give up butter, sugar and molasses for six months you will have earned the price of the dnss.' she said. "I agreed eagerly; but -.ur tables were not then loaded with dainties as now. My fare was poor and hard that winter. However, I persevered, and one bright day the money wa* placed ln my hand. I bought the lovely rose-colored stuff, and carried lt home with a high, beating heart. "My father looked at it and at me wkh cold disapproval. " 'You have earned this finery,' he said, 'and can wear lt if you choose; but think how much more worthy in God's eyes you would appear If you gave It to poor, lame Peggy, the tailor's child.' 'I pave It to poor, lame Peggy, but in doing it my heart was full of fury and re bellion." There were errors in Judgment, no doubt.

TRICKS OF THE SOCIAL TRADE The ways of social pretenders are always amusing and often ingenious, says the San Francisco Argonaut. The query: "Do you know the Smythe-Hob-ons?" "Oh. intimately; why, I dined with them only two nights ag ••,'" are common everywhere, though they deceive no one. In England, however, there are special forms aud devices which ara particu larly Interesting. An Englishman tells of a certain lngeniue friend of his who, wben writing a letter. invariably begins with "Dear Duc-facs..." Through this h« lightly runs hia pen, and then proceeds below fob" rly with "Dear Smith." By means of this sim ple device he has contrived to advance him self considerably ln life. "In the earlier days of my London career." he continues, "I remember having been much impressed by I an individual who was app_rcn*ly acquainted I with all the 'carriage folk' in town. Hia bat i was perpetually on the move. Xo sooner had j a carriage dashed past than he would leisurely bow, at times casually remarking. 'Why. there's Lady BalUmore. What a charming j woman she Is!' or otherwise making some I such airy comment on the situation. As a j matter of fact, he was every bit as complete I a stranger to the lady as I was my-elf. I j groan when I re.-ail the numerous dinners I and other expensive civilities I wasted on this I execrable old humbug ln those innocent. days." • • • Another self-advertis'-r had once, and ones only, been favored with a brief conversation with a prominent royal personage. ! afterward he invariably addressed every one j as "Sir," occasionally, however, correcting himself and apologizing on the grounds of j his leng connection with royalty. Still an other Individual contrives to enter upon his ! intimacy with great people immediately on learning of their demise. No sooner do the papers announce that "The Right Honorable, the Earl of Scattermore" has departed this life, than this fellow straight away adops the late peer as an old and much-lamented friend. He thrives on these spurious post-mortem i intimacies. But the most surprising scheme, I according to American notions, is that of < Mrs. Somerset Cobble*, a fascinating and I ambitious HtUe lady, possessed of pretty eyes and a fixed determination to make ber way j up ln tbe world. Daily for weeks did a smart single brougham, bearing the royal col ors and stamped with the royal crest, display itself at her door, and daily for w._ks did th. envious neighbors grind tbeir teeth .hereat.
