It is encouraging to note that Indian agents are hereafter to be h-:ld to a stric ter account than ever before in the per formance of their duties. The instruc tions of Secretary Noble insist that so bricty and intergrity must mark the con duct of every one connected with agencies and say that an improvement in the af fairs of the agencies must be apparent within a reasonable period, or else the agent uu:st surrender his commission The Indian agents haye opportunities and responsibilities in their hands. If Secre tary Noble succeeds in improving tin character ol the service he will do good work. Two newspapers apiece for every per son living on our planet! That is, twice fourteen hundred million and a half of newspapers printed each year, and in America alone! That is the present out growth of the piiuting art as applied to informing the public; the outgrowth ol about one century. Is the newspapei enterprise overdone? A metropotitnii journal of thirty two pages is over 100 times lamer in enntents than Ben Frank lin's paper. America publishes more papers than all the rest of the world combined, and better papers than those of any other land. The newspaper is grad ually becoming the head-center of tin literary, as well as buisiuess talent 1 America. Late advices ly steamer from Ilayti have, to a certain extent, prepared tin way for the announcement made this morning through a cable dispatch receiv ed in London, which may turn out to be true, that Ilyppolite has defeated Legi time, captured Port-au-Prince and pro claimed himself president of the republic. Whether this is the conclusion of or only an incident in the Ha-ytian troubles, which have been going on for nearly a year, time alone can determine. The resignation of President Salomon was the occasion of the revolution which has been in progress with varying fortunes sip.ee last September. The factions have been lost to themselves and seem, if this dispatch is confirmed, to have fought the issue to an end for the present. But in the nature of things it does not appear likely that any government now set up can have a long lease of life. Neir Wrk Tribune. SUGAR. The Chinese, who invented idni -t everything before anybody else l ean! of it, claim to be the original discoverers of the process of sugar making, and it is said that sugar was used in China as long ago as 3,000 years. This is misty, but the fact is well established that it was manufactured in China under the TViu dynasty 20O years at least before the Christian era began. India has put for ward a claim for priority of invention, but the probability is that the Hindoos learned the art of sugar making from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge spread to the western nation. Nearchus, when sent by Alexander on an exploring voyage yn the Indus, brought back reports of "honey," which was made by the-Asiatics" from cane without the help of bees. At this time neith: r the Greeks, nor the Jews, nor the Babylonians, had nny knowledge of sugar, but later the art of making the artifical "honey" luc;:ne known and practiced, though its process and development were exceedingly kIovv. It was pn scribed as a medicine by Gultn in A. I). l.lo, and :ip to the seventeenth century it had hecon e nothing more than a costly luxury, to bo used only on spec ial occasions. Even as late as the begin ning of the eighteenth century the annual consumption of sugar in Great Britain had reached only 20,000,000 pounds, whereas it is now moro than 2,000,000,- 000 pounds. Hefined sugar was not made in England till 1 toi. The art of refining was learned by a Venetian mer chant from the Saracens, who sold the secret to him for 100,000 crowns. Man ufacturer and liuilder. HOME HO LID 'FACTS. COLLECTED ON TIIK COUNTY COURT HOUSE l!ONI (QUESTION 1ST Til K ltOAKD OF TK ADE AMI ADUUKKSfcU TO THE VOTERS I'i.attsmottii, Neb., May IS,. 1S0. The county commissioners of Cass county having called an election to vote for or against issuing $0,000 t wenty-year court house bonds, we desire to lay the actual facts before every property owner and voter in the county, relying upon their intelligent consideration of the same in casting their vote at the coming election, June Nth, 18sJ. The total bonded indebtedness of the county is $100,000, These are the rail road bonds, and the interest has been paid as it accrued. The principal is due $20, 000 in June of each of theyearsof 18'JO Ul -1)2-0:1 -'J-l. Cash in the sinking fund to pay these bonds is now $30,000, and sufficient cash in the other funds to pay all current expenses. So the real indebt edness of the county is only $50,000 at the present time Total valuation county, 1888, $4,743,770, Valuation of Plattsmouth City and Precinct $1,287,191. Eighty thousand dollars at 5 per cent will cost annually, $4,000. Nine-tenths of one mill on the total valuation will raise $4,2G7, Mote than sufficient to pay the interest on tho bonds. The average valuation on eighty acres of land in the county as shown by the records is about $4"0, so that the owner of eighty acres wo- Id have to pay a court house tax of about 40 cents, or less, each year. These figures are based on the 1888 assessment. The valuation will be greater in 18S0, by possibly $300,000, and will increase largely each succeeding vea r. We believe that a new court house should be built, not only for the sake of building the same in our city but for the protection of the records of the county clerk, county treasurer, county register, cosinty judge and the clerk of the dis trict court, in all of which records almost everv farmer and land owner in the county is vitally interested.

There are more cranks in this world than is dreamed of in tho average philosophy, and greater numbers of their kind llnd their way to this building than even tho newsp pers are ablo to discover. The sergeant has not bins to say save when we ask him a que: ti.v.i, and then ho remarks that scarcely a day passes m which he is not cauea upon by tho dictates of prudence to stop some sus picious or unpleasant looking mortal at the gateway to the president's abode. Not that there aro many dangerous appearing persons loitering about, but many who bear in their facs the marks of an ability and intention to croate scenes if given but half a chance. There are plenty of character studies here the se!f important, bustling statesman who rashes in as if his business would spoil if delayed a single moment; tho weary and sad eyed candi date who has waited and waited and lost his n.-rve and his ability to sleep o night, all on account of the office that never comes; the titnid and gawking countryman who is not quite 6ure that be dares walk iu an open door. and who stops to ask questions and say he is afraid of intruding; tho loquacious fellow who has been always a good Republican and who imagines everybody about tho White House is interested in his story and possessed of influence that could help him if it were but exerted in his behalf.

In his book on "Jonathan and His Conti nent," Mai O'Uell describes how Americans enjoy themselves at tho winter resorts in the south. He tells somewhat derisively of how they get up and breakfast and then sit on rocking chairs on the piazzas and wait for lunch timts then to rocking chairs again, where they wait for dinner after dinner rocking chairs again until bedtima This is a good deal the st3'lo of it in the southern re sorts, but the rather dull Frenchman seems to think they would bo better engaged in pic nics and excursions, and fishing or going about, but if he had known Americans bet ter, he would know that to many a rocking chair, on a piazza with tho pleasures of fresh air, warm sunshiue, peaceful quiet and books and papers is picnic enough; that to go hel- terskeltering over the country in pursuit of pleasure and excitement is not the American idea of rest. After tho whirl and excitement and mad ding crowd of city life, nothing for a time U more restfully blissful under southern suns than a rocking chair on a piazza, whero tho gay and giddy world can bo seen passing as in a panorama beforo those who und m the sky and air and breeze and balm of flowers tho rest they crave and love. The French idea of a holiday may be to be forever "ou tho go," or gad rushing hither and thither but to tho health seeker, tho tired man of business or tho run down housekeeper, a pi azza and a rocking chair and something to read bavo charms beyond expression. It may not bo a French fashion, or so English, you know, but it shows that Americans enjoy the liberty of doing as they please and of spending their holida3-s in most striking con trast to their rush of business. Aiken (S. C Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. A Snako in Court. If thcro is any one in tho world who can beat a backwoods member of the legislature eating roasted ground peas that person is tho average superior court bailiff. Now, there is a bailiff in Albany who is no exception to this rule. Ono of his friends knew this and ho set a trap for the bailiff. The friend fixed up a small paper bag with a few peanuts and a small dead snako in it. lie walked into the court room, eating away on some grouud peas that he had iu his hand , tho bailiff, like a warhorso scenting battlo, caught one whiff of them. It was too much for him. ho couldn't stand it; so, getting up from l.is seat, be walked rapidly by his friend, jerking tho bag, snako and all, out of his hand. With a chuckle of delight, off went tho officer to a corner of tho court room. lie turned up tho bag to pour the coveted goobers into hi - hand, when, horrors! out camo the .u.:ti Tho man just gave ouo look at his hand i lie snako seemed to move and, with the single exclamation of "Oh, my Ood!" the peanuts were scattered broadcast over the floor, a-r.l now Jim Greer swears that ho will nover eat another ground pea in court as long as ho lives. Albany (Ua.) Sews. . MallesAle Glass. Neri, whoso book on glass was published at Horenco m 1U1, says: "in lue tuno or noo rins was invented a wavof makinz class mal leable, a thing afterward lost and to this day whnllv nn known, for if such a thinz were now known without doubt it would be more esteemed for it,s beauty and incorruptibility than silver or gold, since from glass there ariseth neither smell nor taste, nor any other quality." But though unknown to the old Italian, the art was practiced in Persia, if we may believe Bailey, who says that in 1C10 Sor.hi. emrieror of Persia, sent to King Philip III, of Spain, six glasses that were malleable and would not break by being hammerea, and Blacourt tells that an -inventor having presented a bust of malleable glass to Riche lieu.
