beet sugar industry at that place en
ters upon its aixtli season under most
favorable auspices. The contracts
range from three acres up to 120, a con
tract for 120 acres having been made
by a Fremont company. Tiie largest
contract is for eighty acres, while the
average is about ten acres. There lias
been a strong demund for land for beet

Henry I. Oxnard, the beet auger
man of Orand Island, thus speaks of
the Omaha exposition: "As an oppor
tunity for the west, I think it iaa great
one, and should have the heartiest co
operation of the states. There ia only
one thing, although |>erhai>* that has
been thought over by those having the
matter in charge, that I aui inclined to
criticise. It seems to me that the ap
propriation could have been more easily
obtained, if it bad gone before congress
on the general appropriation bill,
rattier than a* a srperate lull. How
ever, that may make no difference, and
I certainly hope the exposition will be
assured to iiuiuhs, and that it will be a
success Too much cannot lie said in
its favor, for it is u great opportunity
for tbe traus-Mississippi states."

waa the Drat apeakcr on Cuban reaoln
tiona. lie aaid that he abould hare
refrained from eddreaalng the llouie
further on thia question but for the
"extraordinary performance of the

that the people were not behind the

ognition to Cubj, he aoaerted that
Congreaa had aeldom before received
ao many petitions on any eubject aa
thia. He contended that a handful of
Henstor* had taken advantage of the
rulee of the Henate to prevent the
adoption of tbe conference report by
filibustering. The Cabana had an or
f:auizeii form of government and were

Mr. Hraper and made a plea for

urra should he luken to put an end to
the barbarous warfare und that for
this country to fail to do this would
be to incur the loss of self-respect an
well as to deserve the contempt of all
foreign nations.
The House then decided to hold a
night session for debate on the Cuban
resolution* and to vote .Monday after

"Philadelphia, Pa., April 8.—This

tiou of the United Mtates, that the
friends of ailver remoni lization must
abandon that hope. Aa the Demo
cratic party ia not likely to do better j
than the Republican party, it is the
duty of those of al) parties who do \
not hold principle subservient to po
litical expediency and who putputriot
ism before partisanship, to come to a
common understanding with each
other, unite on a common policy, join 1
