The scheme Of raising sugar in this country
by the cultivation Of the beet has been prac-
ideally given up. Every year or SO there is a
revival Of this scheme. Agricultural papers
cite the large profits madeby the French far
mers engaged In this business, show the ease
with which the sugar beet Is cultivated, and
advise farmers to 60 into beet sugar raising
at once. During the past forty years there
have been fully hundred beet root factories
started In this country. all but one Of which, a
factory located In California, have bankrupt
ed. The conditions required for success in
sugar beet cultivation are SO many that it can
scarcely be carried on profitably In this coan-
try. Sugar beet cultivation requires good
soil with very little nitrogen In 1t, exhaustive
and continued tests of the amount of saccha-
rine matter In the juice plenty of water, an ex-
pensive factory, skilled employees, II large cap
ital, etc. Even II all of these requisites be OBJ
tained, and the business carefully attended to-
1t will produce only 8 per cent on the capital
Invested which while 1t Is very fair interest in
France is comparatively small In this coun-
try. The experience OF many years, there
fore, shows that the beet sugar industry Is
one that cannot prove successful or profitable

edged by Western journals the better The

THE NEW ORLEANS, TEXAS AND
COLORADO RAILWAY.

We are gratified to learn that the act incor-
porating the above named railway has passed
the Legislature, and now only awaits the &C
tion Of the Governor to become law. The
slightest attention to the subject will show
the importance Of this line in developing the
commerce of New Orleans.
The State of Texas now contains popula-
ton estimated at 100000 It receives an an
nual increase, by immigration alone, of from
$50, 900 to 100000 people, the accession of pop
ulation from this source amounting in three
years to the entire population of Louisiana.
There are produced in that State annually
| about 100000 bales of cotton, the greater part
Of which is now exported through Galveston
and st. Louis. The value Of this crop is about
$30,000,000. The annual export Of cattle is es-
timated at S1O,OOO,O0O in value, Of wool at
$1,5O000O, of hides at 81 100000, of beef in bar
rels and cans at S2,00000O, and of other pro-
auctions at $3,0O0,000. Two years ago over
100000 bushels of wheat were shipped from
Texas to Kansas City and st. Louis for
market.
The above are some of the products of a

SCttLC6Iy CuuCeieS tuc eAGeuI
of its commerce. It's area is 274,OOO square
miles, wanting only 1896 square miles to equal
the area of France, England and Scotland
combined. If only one-fifth of the area Of
fifty of the grain growing counties of the
State were planted in wheat the yield would
be 11500o,000 bushels, OR twice the quantity of
wheat grown in 1870 in the three great grain
growing States of Indiana, Illinois and Wis
consin. In very few years this result will
be reached.
The cities OF Galveston and Houston, actu-
ated by a laudable spirit of enterprise, have
constructed a system Of railways, converging
to those points from nearly every section Of
the State. The cities of st. Louis and Chicago,
striving to share the trade of this rapidly de-
veloping region, have established their con-
nections with this system at the northern
boundaries of the State, and take from our
doors trade which is legitimately our own.

New Jersey Is engaged Just now In the
Augean but laudable task of purifying New
Jersey politics. bill is now before the
integrity Of party conventions and eau
cuses. 1t provides that any attempt to give
or offer anything valuable, particularly
drinks for the Jersey Legislature recognizes
the political influence and power of whisky
TO influence delegates to a State, county, dis
trict or town convention Of any political
party shall be regarded as an offense, and
punished by fine of $1,000. 1t is said that
the Legislature favors the bill and will pass
It. The members of the Legislature find that
= nomination costs too much in New Jersey
nowadays. 1t means treating the whole
nominating committee to champagne and
oysters, and lending every individual dele
gate $15 or $40. The price of New Jersey
Office is rising rapidly. A good office
costs now almost as much as a seat in the
English Parliament, and considerably more
than the legitimate fees Of the Office are
worth. The probabilities are, that the
Intelligent Legislature of New Jersey will
pass this law, making it a criminal offense to
treat delegates to a nominating convention
under the fond delusion that they will save
money by It. 1t is too early to prophesy
exactly what will be the result of this singu
lar law, although it will certainly produc
demoralizing effect on politics. The New Jer-
sey Legislature might, perhaps, be better
employed In reforming their own evil ways
than In attempting the gigantic task of re-
forming and remodelng political conventions.
