BEET SUO A 11 FIGURES.
A Nebraska man gives some
figures on the beet sugar industry,
that sound very pretty, but will not
bear examination. He gives the
impoitation of sugar at nearly four
billion pounds, with about 1:25,01)0,.
DUO. Then he says this sugar, if
grown in this country, would give
steady employment to 2,ft00,000 peo
ple. It will be seen from this that
one-seventh of the entire able-bodied
male population 'would be engaged
in raising sugar, or making it. The
average consumption ot sugar is
about sixty pounds per capita, so
that each person engaged in the
sugar industry would supply thirty
persons, and that at sixty pounds ;
would make a total of 1S00 pounds
of sugar produced hy him in a year,
and this at eighteen pounds for a
dollar would leave him 100 as the
price of his wage per year. Not an
exceedingly enticing prospect. Again
he says it will take 1,840,000 acres
of land to produce the amount at the
rate of 1700 pounds of sugar per
acre; but as under his computation
the men exceed the acres at the rate
of four to three, these figures would
show a production nf only l.'iOO
pounds, and so his figures do not
even agree.
The beet sugar industry is. per
haps, well worthy uf fostering, but
at present it seems to yield a larger
crop of prevaricators than,anythiug
else.
WHICH WILL WAG.'
Mr. Jonathan Jlourne would prob
ably make an ellicient speaker, but
just why he expects a Republican
house to confer that honor upon him
is beyond comprehension. The
proper tlmnr for Mr. Bourne to do
is to show some respect for the St.
Louis platform before demanding
11113' favorab'e recognition f.ioin the
representatives of the party that is
standing upon that declaration of
principles. Telegram.
The Telegram, like the Oregonian,
is much concerned over Senator
Mitchell's position on the financial
question. It thinks in the above
aiticle that Jonathan Bourne should
"show some respect for the St. Louis
platform before demanding any favor
able mention from the party that is
standing upon that declaration of
principles." "As the priest chants
the sacristan responds," and as the
Oregonian gives vent to its deop
niouthed bays, the Telegram yelps
tenor in a key above even the pitch
of a Yaw.
In this case, however, the Tele
gram fails to see what its big brother
is barking at, and so goes nipping at
the heels of the question under the
mistaken idea that it is assisting in
downing Mitchell. It forgets that
the Oregonian is not satisfied with
Senator Mitchell's position flat-footed
on the St. Louis platform and
wants him to get off of it to prove ;
his Republicanism, while it (the Tel
egram) wants Bourne to step on the
same platfoim to demonstrate his
party fealty.
The papers under the big tower
need an umpire, or a board of arbi
tration. The first ballot for the election of
a United States senator will take
1'lnco at Salem January lDtli. The
Oregonian thinks it is a flyUt between
Mitchell (mil the field, and that the
result is uncertain. It also asserts
that .Mitchell is coiiiiiibiating with
the Populists ami Democrats, and
that he must have their votes to
elect. Of course we cannot speak
for either tho Democracy or the Pop.
ulists, but judging what is to be by
what has been, it is pretty safe to
say that if Mitchell needs either Pop
ulist or Democratic votes, he will
get them. If they arc to cboose be
tween n senator favoring interna
tional bimetalism and one favoring
the single gold standard, they will
take the former. Mitchell has a
great many admirers among both
Populists and Democrats; men who
admire him still, regardless of his
position on the financial question,
and if anyone can catch their votes,
or a portion of them, he can.
Salem's leading hotel is advcrtis-
; ing for o00 fac chickens. "We do
not doubt the figures, but wc draw
the line at the "fat." We've been
there.
The Oregonian wants Mitchell to
gel off the St. Louis platform ; and
the Telegram wants Jonathan Bourne
to get on.

THE INTELLIGENT JURY.
I'vcn thf Court Himself (Jot Up ami
Strom.
"f don't lx'Kove everything I hear
about tin ipr no ranee of the nvercigi
jury." said an old lawyer In reminiscent
mood, relates the Detroit Tree Proas,
"but oiii'e. when I visited a backwoods
court in the mountains of Xtrth C aro
lina. I did hajyien in au incident that
shook my faith for :i time. The case
'was before a squire and the prisoner
wan up for hotr stvaliny. It ww the
rudest court and surromuliiifrs 1 even
got into and 1 should nor. have been
surprised at anythiiifr, but.J was. After
ii couple of jack-Iejj lawyers had f?o
in what they had to uy the court
turned the c:i.e over to a jury and it
adjourned to a barn' to decide the in
nocence or iruilt of 'the prisoner. And
such a jury! I can never forget what
a motley franff that jury was. In half
an hour it icame lxick and resinned its
place in court.
"'Have you found a verdict ?' asked
the "squire.
"'What's that'? responded the fore
man. " 'Have you found a verdict'.' ThatV
what.' replied the squire.
" 'Why, squire,' hesitated the fore
man, with a foolish grin, 'we didn't
know thar wmx one lost: did wc, boys'.''
And even that court couldn't .stand it
but got up and .swore.'

JAPANESE LITERATURE.
Mtirli Activity Aiming tlio l.cnrned Men
of the MIUtulo'H Itedliu.
There is a deal of literary activity in
Itipan just at the present time, which,
however indicative possibly it may be.
of better times to come, is now and of
itself far from commendable, Mtys the.
London Dial. The overwhelming pre
dominance of the inere periodical iswhat
the writer especially complains of. A
native Japanese- regrets, among other
things, the incompetency of versifying
in the Chineso language, which is
.spoken of as something common, the
degradation of literature by the com
mercial spirit, the excessive prevalence
of fiction, the coj-kaurcness of impor
tant airs taken on them by the elnsa of
youthful critics that has sprung up.
lie says of the latter: "With no ade
quate knowledge of English, men coni
iosi treatises on the comparative
nterlfs of English poets, and raw fler
man students express a preference for
one German poet rather than another."
Work, nevertheless, of a much more
substantial form than as thus indicated
is happily under way. A history of the
recent war with China, in charge of the
government, is in contemplation, which

Smut creek is a small stream in the
Hig Horn mountains. A rancher in the
valley set a trap for panthers, which he
thought had been stealing his sheep.
The. trap was of steel, extra large and
heaty. and bn'tted with mutton. Four
days in succession the rancher visited
the trap, ami found nothing. He
omitted the fifth day, and when he
'came on the sixth he heard a groaning
sound. lie found that everv bush with-
i in five yards had been torn up by the
root-, the ground itself looked as if it
nail been p.otvcd. and tlie trap was
gone. Following the sounds, he saw
t nc tips of the ears of an animal behind
a rock, lie made a careful detour, vit i
rilie cocked, anil finally came upon, net
one. but two panthers. One had it
leg in the trap, the other was lirkh,r'
the trapped panther, as a eat would lirv
kitten. The rancher shot the iintrepi 'd
panther, and then easily dispatched
the olhor.
