Norfolk beet sugar factory on January 28 shut down -its plant for the season it was after the longest run yet had in the state The factory began receiving be6ts eoine days before September 24 aud on that day commenced opera tions and continued day and night un til Jauuary 28 During this time 36 374 tons of beets were received into the factory and the total output has been 6822200 pounds of granulated sugar It paid out aver -144000 for teets and -35000 for labor in addi tion to large sums fortfuely Oil stone eoke aud other supplies1 It is especially tobe noticed thstall ot theonateritil used in and about he factory withthe exception of the fuel is Nebraskas product Farmers con tracts so far for the present year have come in freely although the books have not usually been opened so early as this year and the outlook for the coming season from the farmers point of view is -quite encouraging -It should he remembered that the poverty and distress new existing and that has existed for the past few years is not the result of a democratic j administration but is the direct result of the high protective policy of former i republican administrations Nothing else has imbued the popular mind Avith socialist ideas for it is human nature for people to believe that if the government can enrich one of one set of people it has the right to enrich all by the same process The Wilson law does not provide sufficient resources to meet all the useiess and extravagant appropriations That is all and ing more The Keya Paha Call made its ap pearance at Springview last week with the name of G W Fritz at the masthead asediter and nuhlisher The Call is a Oicolumn folio and re sembles the old Brownlee Hornet Bro Fritz is sharp anddoes not give his politics away as he says in his saluta tory Our politics can best be learned by reading our editorial columns If the Call is kept up to the standard set by the first issue it will undoubtedly meet with success According to the statement based on the records made by Mr Dockery the average annual increase of expen ditures for the past eight years has been 80573735 or an aggregate for the entire period -of 1724590280 Comparing the fiscal year 18S6 with that of 1896 the excess of the expen ditures for the latter over the former was 109696307 In other words the ordinary annual expenses of mantain ing the Government increased

this city shut himself up in his private room last week in order to escape being called upon to administer the last rites of the church to one of his parishioners Evidence in supportof this story is strong and if it is fmnd to be true the holy man should at least be removed from this charge if not still more severely dealt with There may be some mistake in these rumors which are stated as facts and if so The Democrat is willing to do justice to the accused party by publishing the explanation of his action Surveying the J3torvoir The surveying party for the Golden irrigation Ditch is now busy
