Beet Root sugar in California.

The Commercial Herald and Market Reuie1o, of
San Francisco, recently published several articles
on the above subject, showing that the enterprise
was not a paying one. The Bulletin thereupon
accuses the Herald, in strong language, of dis
couraging enterprise, and the latter rejoins
"Both articles contained mathematical statements
of costs, or expenses, and profits or loss and If
those could be shown to be incorrect, they were the
proper objects of attack, by counter-statements of a
like character. There was no attempt at conceal
ment or prevarication no mere assertion or as
sumption Of facts, but a clear, well-stated, mathe-
NAUTICAL arrangement of figures, and the logical
deduction to be drawn from the results obtained.
The whole thing was clear ndAboye-boar /; open to
criticism, and subject to disproval if incorrect. Our
motive in the premises was to bring the matter fully
before the public on its merits, giving all interested
an opportunity to express their opinions and solve
the question by intelligent investigation. That we
had no bias in the matter was sufficiently clear by
the frank and open manner in which it was laid be-
fore the public. After toiling and writing for more
than twenty years in steadfast and not unsuccessful
efforts to assist in building up and advancing every
intelligently directed interest on this coast, to be &C
cused of 'tdiscouragiDg enterprise > has in it some
thing more than discourtesy-it is simply insolent.
We certainly shall not lend our assistance to every
enterprise simply because it is enterprise We shall
not countenance wild schemes, and induce people to
embark capital in projects which may or may not
eventuate successfully, simply because they are
novel and when we accepted an article on the sub
ject of beet-root sugar, we took care that it should
be; from an authentic and well-informed source, and
that it should be accompanied with the figures ON
which his argument was based. for the express pur-
pose that the other side might have a fair and open
opportunity to rebut those statements and make o
contrary showing, if possible. f5ft.tF
sit was our Intention to have the whole subject
intelligently discussed, so that all the light possible
could be thrown on it, and those interested might
know exactly what they were doing. That was the
only interest we had in the matter, and in, that we
have partially succeeded. Why the beet-root ques-
ton cannot be discussed on its intrinsic merits with
out the use of coarse and uncourteous allegations, is
probably1owing to the coarse and uncourteous pro-
c~livities of the parties making Them

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Vcry few of the
sudden deaths which are said to arise from 8 dis
eases Of the heart" do really arise from that
cause. To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried in Europe and
reported to a scientific congress held at Strasbourg.
Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post-n1ortem examination;
in these only two were found who had died from
disease of the heart. Nine of ~sixty-six had died
from appoplexy, while there were ~forty-six cases OF
congestion of the lungsEthat is, the lungs were
SO full of blood they could not work, there not
being room enough for a sufficient quantity of air
to enter to support life. The causes that produce
congestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight cloth
ing, costive bowels, sitting still chilled after be-
ing warmed with labor or a rapid walk, going too
suddenly from close, heated rooms in the cold air,
especially after speaking, and sudden depressing
news operating on the blood. The causes of sud-
den death being known, an avoidance of them may
serve to lengthen many valuable lives which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict of - heart
complaint" That disease is supposed to be in
evitable and incurable; hence, many may not
take the pains they would to avoid sudden death
if they knew it lay in their power.
