The Melon Sugar Enterprise.

We mentioned last spring the in
ception of melon sugar enterprise on
the Sacramento river. 1t seems from
a correspondent of the Sonoma DEM
ocrat that the work goes braveiy on.
The location is at Isleton, six or eight
miles above Rio Vista. The company
have incorporated under the name Of
the California Sugar Manufacturing
Company, with a capital stock of 81
600, 900. They have sold $4,000 shares
and are putting up building 12O by As
feet, besides the engine and boiler
rooms which are about 40 by 40 feet.
The first story Is of brick. The ma
chinery was purchased in Germany
for $4,000. The foundation Of the
building is already laid and the work
will be pushed to a speedy completion.
1t is the design of the company to
make some three grades of sugar out
of the pulp of the melon, alcohol out
of the refuse syrup and parts Of the
rind, and table oil out of the seeds.
The melons will yield about ten per
cent. of sugar and the seed % per cent.
of oil. Isleton, as the name would
indicate, is built upon an island. 1t
is known as Andres Island. II Is COM
posed of land rescued from the tules,
is rich, as such lands usually are, and
is well adapted to the culture of melons
Beets grow to great perfection here,
and it is the design Of the company
to add about Sc, 600 worth of machinery
which will enable them to manu-
facture beet sugar. Mr.. Josiah Poole,
to whom We are indebted for the in
formation here given, and who is
deeply enterested in the enterprise,
showed us a field of eight acres from
which good crop of hay had been
that now was growing beets
that would yield from thirty to forty
tons to the acre.-PdcJfc Rural Press.

CAMPAIGN
CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
FOR HAYES AND VII LER.

The National Republican party has placed
its ticket and platform before the American
people. The Presidential Campaign will be
one of the most exciting and important that
has ever occurred In the United States. The
result of the contest will determine the fu-
ture good OF Ill of the country for a genera
ton TO come.
The Democratic- Confederate alliance is the
same in chsracter and spirit as when one
wing resolved that the war for the Union
was n failure" and the other wing tried
desperately TO make 1t a failure. They are
now n harbOr of refuge for sectional aAi1Os-
tiles and prO-slavery sentiments. Since
coming into control of the popular branch
of Congress they have exhibited no states
manship. no wisdom nor patriotism-nOth-
ing but obstructive policies and destructive
purposes, showing themselves incapable of
progress or even Of comprehending the
wants of the country. They only "meddle
and muddIe." With all their promises and
pretensions they nave proven utter ialinres
in dealing with questions OF Taxation,
Tariff, Revenue. Currency or Reform.
If the Government again passes into the
hands of the Democratic -Confederates and
they secure possession of the purse and the
sword, the army and the navy, the executive
authority and the law making power, they
will substitute reaction for progress and re-
establish a reign of terror and n system Of
