We hare quoted some of the New York Tribune'' a editorials on the beet sugar makers', oppoiition to reciprocity with Cuba, showing how little ground there was for that op position and why the beet sugar in dustry is not entitled to any special tariff protection, j when the protec tion already given, for more than ten years, had produced such small re sults. In its issue of Monday it gives attention to the claims of the Louisiana sugar : makers, who, like the beet sugar makers, declare that reciprocity with Cuba would destroy their industry, in which there are $50,000,000 invested. j Thursday representatives of these sugar men had a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee m which, as might nave been ex pected, they argued earnestly against any concession to Cuban sugar, in commenting upon which the Tribune says:- o j Their opposition is not well found ed, because there is no reasonable pros- pact of their ever being; able to sup ply our whole domestic demand or even the major part of it. The sugar production -of oar Gulf States varies greatly in amount from year to year, according to the weather. Those su?ar lands are ; too far north to be quite free from frosts. Thus in 1878-79 tney produced 113.000 long j tons, and in l886-'87 only 85,394. The maximum to date was reached in 1834-'95. with 835.621 tons, and in the very next vear there was a declin to only 313,693 tons Seeing that the consumption of sugar in this country is now consid erably more than 8 000,000 tons, it is evident that the Gulf States: candot be depended upon for more than about one-seventh of our supply, and surely the one seventh cannot expect to dictate concerning, the., other six sevenths. 'The argument that reel - -nprocily will destroy the American in dustry and thus put our sugar market a nder foreign eontrol M ill conceived. The obvious facts are that our market is now under foreign control, in spite or the domestic industry, and that Cu . ban reciprocity will go toward correct ing that state of affairs,' since it -will make the Cuban supply practically a supply under our own control. It was argued on Thursday that Cu ba should be "left to work out its own salvation, as the South had to do after the Civil War." The comparison was not a nappy one. ir it be true that the South rebuilt its iadustriea "without making appeals for special favors." it is certainly true that it received its full share of favors. The sugar industry of the Gulf States has been as carefully protected by our tariffs as has any other industry "in s the -'land-Had the - national government alter- the Uivil War refused tariff protecion to Southern su gar, cotton and other industries, there might be some resemblance be tween the eases.! As it is, there is only contrast Cuba is in fact asking for . only what Louisiana got namely, as good a market and as good i a chance to prosper as she had before the war. We do no believe, either, that the granting of rectpeocity to Cuba will gt destroy the Louisiana sugar industry r We doubt if it will diminish by one acre the area devoted to that industry. But if it should do so we must take issue with the statement that there is no other line of production to which tne sugar lands can bs profitably turn ed. If reports be not srrosalT mislead ing, some sugar lands are now being transformed into rice lands for the reason that the latter crop is the more pronianie. "Bat while the evils of Cuban reci procity are thns chiefly imaginary, the evils of non-reciprocity are particular ly real and inevitable. One is loss of trade, which we are now suffering. Cuba is now purchasing each year in Europe $30,000,000 worth! of rooda. which she con Id get the United States, .j i : -t. i . . ' uu wuicu iuo cuuiu purcnase nere under a decent reciprocity system. Would it not be better for our Gulf States to supply Cuba with cotton and rice and animials and oils and other goods, and let her Send her sugar to our market to supplement not to supplant their own. than to shut oat her sugar in favor of European sugar and send her j elsewhere for those goods! , There ; is another : evil. which we trust is ' remote, but which is menacing enough 1 to deserve consideration. It Uuba cannot secure reciprocity, she Will begin a campaign ior annexation. vi tnajt there can be no doubt. The fact is already openly proclaimed. We hope ' never" to aee .1 J 1 rt t . - . . mo uj wbbo uiidi win Da a member t or whs Union, and we should certainly ravor reciprocity wnn her if for no otner purpose than to prevent a de mand for annexation. Nevertheless, there is a menace of such evil, and it will be well for our domestic sugar producers to take it into account. If tney would be injuriously affected by umwioD or uuoan sugar at hair rates, what would become of them if Cuban sugar were let In absolutely free, with. m coarse, no possiouitv or a compen sating bounty to them I " i With all the protection i the sugar makers of Louisiana haye had since the war they have not done muoh better than the beet sugar men who made such rosy! promises ten years ago. They have not, in fact, done so well considering the time they nave been operating and j that the industry in Louisiana f was an old one before the beet sugar, industry in this country, was thought of. They haye not,! however, i been so' fvtuKu wi buoir promises as tne beet sugar men were and) have not promised to produce all the sugar this country could consume and have a million tons for export. They didn't do that perhaps because they knew they couldn't. Theprobabil ities are that there is less j land un der sugar cultivation in Louisiana now than there was ten jears ago, and the further probabilities - are that there is more now than there will be ten years hence; for the rea- ? son that the planters will find some-1 thing to plant more profitable, fleas expensive and I more reliable than agar cane, on whick there is no whatever there .may be to; the manufacturer. " auuiactureri by the who Is raising the racket way, about re- iproeuy. liouiaiana is' not the best sngar cane growing section of this coun try anyway. It is claimed that Florida is away ahead of it, and that there is sugar land enough in that State to produce 10,000,000 tons i of sugar annually, which is five times as much as we now im port.! It is claimed, also, that cane can be grown in Georgia and in South Carolina, which yields more saccharine-matter than the Louisiana cane does and will therefore pro duce more sugar at less cost, so that! the probabilities are that, in the near future Louisiana sugar makers will have competitors . in those States, who may prove more formidable than the Cuban sugar makers, and competitors, too, from whom they couldn't have any tariff protection. ' . But there is something else whicn threatens them. It has beenhown that! the. ordinary corn stalkf pro duces sugar enough to make it profitable to plant for that purpose, and a movement has been started to establish manufactories in .Flor ida, Georgia and South Carolina, whioh will work both, the corn stalk and the sugar cane, and. planters are being urged to plant both free ly. ; These mills would work on the corn, and ,by the time that was worked 'up they would work on the cane, thus keeping employed the larger part of the year, and hence they, claim - that they could pro duce sugar at a j much less cost than it is now produced from either cane or beet. Here is another com- petitor that both the Louisiana cane sugar maker and the Western beet sugar maker may have to cope with in the near future, and then it will be a case of "the survival of the fittest,'' in which tariff protection will play no part. ; But why should the people of this country who like sugar and have been accustomed to it be re quired to pay millions ol dollars a year to protect two squalling "in fants," which are i really not worth protecting, while at the same time we are doing injustice to other in dustries which are deprived of a fair showing on account of these ? The cotton planter, cotton manufacturer, machine builder, shoe maker and others are entitled to as much con sideration as the sugar makers, and there are more of them. ME. BELLAMY CALLS A HALT. ... it t In the discussion of the Urgent Deficiency bill in the House of Rep resentatives, Wednesday of last week, Hon. John D-Bellamy called a halt on the extravagant expendi ture of money for the renting of buildings for Government use in Washington, and opened the eyea of the gentlemen who had not - given attention to that matter. In speak ing of it the Washington Times makes the following complimentary but merited reference to Mr. Bel lamy: j. "It took Representative Bellamy. or North Carolina, to open the eyes of Congress to the imperative need of -a Hall of Records for the use of the Government, to be erected here in Washington.

Last Wed nesday, when the House was in the Committee on the Whole on the state or the union, considering the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, the Rep resentative from the sixth Congress lonal district of the Tar Heel State took occasion to make a few pointed remarks on the wanton extravagance in the', matter of renting -offices and buildings for use of the different de partmenta," Me presented carefully prepared Ct A 1 1 a, Jt inures Buowing mat me uovern ment is now expending 1199,505 a year for the rental of buldings which at- 3 - i - 1 it neeas ior storage ana otner pur poses, when it could erect the nec essary buildings at a cost which would save at least l"00,O00 a year from the amount now paid in rents.

For Whooping: Ooii Use UHISNISY'S PBOTOKANT. rr sals by Hanuo's Palaos Fbarmaey J HOLLAHD'A OFFER. !. A London dispatch published yes terday announces that Holland had tendered her offices as a friendly intermediator between Great Britain and the Boers, to act as a friend of both parties, if acceptable to both, but no terms or suggestion of terms are made or intimated. Whether this offer is made with the consent of the Boers, or whether acceptable to the British, is not yet known. The probabilities are that the Boers are divided in sentiment as to what would be the best to do, as the British also are, but it seems to ns that both ought to be willing to bring this war of extermination (for that it has become) to an end, and the surprising thing is that the great civilized nations have stood by so long without making any effort to stop it. , With all their marvellously heroic resistance the Boers must, if left to fight it out themselves, succumb to the superior numbers and re sources of Great Britain. This they probably fully realize but may be kept up by the hope that England may become involved with some other power and thus be hand icapped In the war against them. If England listened to reason she ought to be quite as anxious for peace as the Boers, for the war has, as shown by official reports, already cost her the lives of 18,964 soldiers 931 officers and 18,033 men which number is increased every week, and it is estimated that by the end of this - year the cost in money will have reached $1,100,- 000,000 in gold.

Is he discouraged because he thinks it Is bis duty to mankind to paint dark pic tures? Not at all. His is another clear case of selfishness. He gratifies him self by being unhappy and ' trying to make others so. Love, too, is selfish ness. The maiden doesn't loye the man to make him glad. It's her own happi ness that she promotes in looking upon him as the noblest work of God.

The cotton marketopened steady, witb orices un- cnangea to iour points higher, and then eased off several points ouite sbarply, after which there was little change for the rest of the day.

Bad weither was reported ofB- ciauy oyer tne entire oeit. either rain or snow falling, with the forecast indi cating conunued precipitation to-night and to-morrow with unreasonably low temperatures. The official estimates for to morrow's New Orleans and Houston receipts were rather larger than expected and Jielped to weight aown ineaiternoon market. A small number, of February notices wnr isaued early in tbe day. but found wuungvi takers amonsr snot enttnn houses and therefore made no marked impression on tbe market. The atnh- born steadiness of Southern spot mar- aets actea as a restraint upon would be short sellers, but failed to stimulate. new ouving. , The. market at the cIoxa was quiet, with prices net two to five points lower.
