There have been eleven bect sugar factories established in the United States. No enc of tLem has been g success. But the manufacture of beet sugar is e great and successful industry both in c crmany and France. Perhaps it will be ia this country at no distant day. Probably the sugar cane would grow in all tl.c valleys of Arizona. as well as in those of Southern California.

 Itwas the fortune of your core spondont to make this cnteresting trip recently in company with others among the rest Messrs- Eaton and Bailey, of Globe city, who were ac- cnmpanying their large shipment of bullion from inc Rescue mine. At the point of transfer from the stage we started with train Of nine pack animals, each loaded wiii, a silver brick, accompanied by i've persons, making altogether qnisc lengthy train, and of q SeFy motley descriP- ton. Il was 2 scene which onc un- accustomed to such sight will never forget As yTe mounted the rocky s.eaps of the Piual range of nouH- ilias the patient animals, following the narrow circuitoIs trail, under the leadership Of the foremost mule, whose tinkling bell coald be heard u2 on the side Of some rocky cliff, or down in some dark ravilc. Tie scene was, at the same time, novel and exciting. The yells of the drivers urging ths train oawlrd when it fal- tered al some point in the trail diia- cult of pa5sa.e, echoing through the mountain gorses, and anon the shouts of the wholo company vixen scme level point was reached, when the pace of the whole train was acceler- ated to a canter, male the mountains ring as with the war-whoops of q tribe of Apache Indians.

The recent appreciation in values of some of the leading agricu ltural products of California is having a very baoyant effect upon the feelings and hopes of the farmers, and upon the business of the country. The ap- preciation of the wheat, the wool, the hop and the grape crops ave ad- ded huni-ed5 of thousands to the pockets of the farmers, and has en- livcncd every other business in the State.

The Amended Road Law.

The change In the road law that
occasioned the warmest discussion in
the legislative session of 1879, is the
one printed below. 1t repeats the act
of March LIST, 1877, as it amends Sec
ton twelve of chapter 1914 Of the acts
of 1928, leaving the amended Sec
ton as below. This act as originally
introduced, provided that every able
bodied male not under eighteen nor
over fifty years of age, should work
upon the roads, but upon motion of
Hon. B. II. Butcher of Parkersburg,
the minimum age was changed from
eighteen to twenty-one, leaving the
section as follows:
"12. Every able bodied male per-
son not under twenty-one nor over fif-
ty years of ago, residing in any road
precinct and is not pauper, having
had at least three days notice, shall,
between the LIST day of April and the
1st day of November of each year, at
tend in person or by sufficient sub
stitute, with proper tools, and work
on the county roads in such precinct,
under the direction of the Surveyor
thereof, at such places and on such
days during the said period as the
said Surveyor may appoint, at least
two days If that number be necessary.
And the County Court of every coun-
ty in which the said two days work
shall be insufficient to open, construct
and keep in good repair the roads and
bridges thereof, shall prescribe by an
order of the Court the manner in
which the same shall be done after
expanding thereon the two days work
aforesaid, whether entirely by tax
on property or entirely by labor, or
partly by labor and partly by tax,
and it shall prescribe, provide for,
and lay sufficient amount of tax,
or labor, or both, as the case may be
to open, construct and keep in good
repair the roads and bridges in their
county during each year. Every per-
son required by the County Court
under the provisions of the section to
work on roads shall perform such adj

There having been some doubt as
to whether the appropriation for the
completion of the slack water i'm
provements at Hoard's Rock had
been passed at the late session. of
Congress, we have the pleasure to in
form our readers that we have re-
ceived direct from the Hon. Henry
G. Davis, our worthy and energetic
Senator copy of the bill as it pass
ed both houses, in which the follow
ing appears:
For improving Monongahela river,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, to
be expended in completing lock and
dam at Hoard's Rock, twenty-four
thousand dollars.
So the matter may be considered
settled, all thanks to all our good
representatives in Congress, particu-
larly Messrs. Davis and Martin.

The attack of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch on Hon. John Z. Kenna, of
West Virginia, because of the liberal
appropriation secured by him for the
Great Kanawha river in his State,
and of the appropriation of New liver,
is in bad taste, to say the least. 1t
is notorious fact that every mem
Der of Congress in both houses gets
all he can for the benefit Of improve
ments in his locality. If Mr.. Kenna' s
recognized ability and energy secure
for the Kanawha river, in his district,
larger sum of money than is appro-
priatcd for such commercial ports as
Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, Balti-
more, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah,
New Orleans aud Galveston, it seems
to us that the proper remedy is to in
crease the appropriations for those
points. and not to indulge in jealous

may profit by the suggestion that
abuse is the making of such men as
Mr.. Kenna. Coming to the Forty
fifth Congress the youngest member
of that august body, 1t strikes US that
it is rather strongly to his credit that
he should thus early have achieved
SO much for his district and State as
to make him the object OF attack by
localities having rival interests to
his. Better let the young man alone;

The wholesale raid made upon the
thieves of this vicinity during the
present term of court will certainly
have beneficial effect. For several
gears our people have been subject to
the depredations of thieves. Their
stores, residences and hen-coops have
been raided With impunity and their
goods and eitattels been carried off.
Through the efforts of our officers
with the assistance of some of our
citizens there will be six or more sent
to the penitentiary and the ring will
be broker. This will be gratifying
to our justice-loving citizens and
contains an emphatic warning for
any stragglers who may still be at
large, and impress them with certain
ty of meeting their just deserts if
they continue to indulge in their old
practices. For particulars see court

For the first time since 1861 both
houses of Congress are Democratic.
Even with this the control of Govern
mental affairs does not pass into the
the hands of the Democrats. A Re-
publican president is still in the
White House ready to veto all meas
ures that might benefit the Democrats.

many thousands of office holders,
which is immense 1t will he nearly

can be trumped up to delay legisla-

! the best course for the good Of the
country.
There are some of the most expe-
rienced members of Congress-fnen
in whose judgment the country has
great conference.-the believe 1t to
be duty Congress owes to the coun.
try to have further legislation upon
the finances. Others again are Just
as confident that further legislation
would be injurious. In support of
the former view, Alex. II. Stephens
claims that the volume of our curren-
cy can be increased to the extent of
from five to seven hundred millions
of dollars, by simply issuing bullion
certificates on the metal now hoard
ed in the treasury and elsewhere.
This would neither increase the in
debtedness of the country nor add
anything to the interest bearing OBJ
legations, but would simply be util-
izing the wealth we now possess. AS
long as we can have good money
there is never danger of having too
much of it. If this sum can be add
ed to the currency of the country
within the next twelves months, it
would certainly give an impetus to
business that would be felt in every
line of industry throughout the land.
And if Congress can, by remaining in
session a. few weeks, bring about SO
good result, by so simple a process,
we think the country ought to be sat
isfied to let them alone.-W heeling

Congress and the GrumblerS,

While we join in the general opin-
ion that it may probably be better
for Congress not to enter upon gener-
al legislation during the called ses-
sion, which must necessarily be short,
or otherwise extend into the warm
season, yet we are not among those
who regard a session of Congress as
an unmitigated evil. Three quarters
of the whining and grumbling and
scolding of the newspapers because
Congress is in session is groun dless
and ridiculous. 1t is of no conse-
quence to the people whether Con
gress is in session or not, so long as
it makes no Objectionable laws
They arc paid by the year, and, as
their whole time belongs to the coun-
try, they can just as well stay there
as long as they think anything is
necessary for the good of the country
or they can devise ways and means
for improving the general situation.
No one is obliged to read reports
of its proceedings. And not only
the country but Congress is largely
benefited by the debates upon the
public issue, which 90 far to educate
public opinion and form public SEN
timent, and contribute an important
element TO the political health and
welfare of the country. In fact there
is no other way in which Congress
men can so profitably spend the time
to themselves, than in actual session.
It enables them to learn and under
stand the variety and reason for the
views existing in different sections of
the country on all matters of legisla-
ton.
If there Is no need of further legis-
lation at present, the best way to de-
termine it is for Congress to take
time to fully discuss the whole sub
ject. The more full the discussion
the more likely they will be to take
