| A PROPOSED BEET SUGAR FACTORY IN HAIR
FoRD.-A proposition has been made by prac-
teal beet sugar manufacturer, in Germany, to
establish factory for the manufacture of beet
sugar in Hartford county. The proposition is to
furnish $4,000 capital, provided the farmers and
Others interested in the cultivation of beets will
raise an equal amount. A joint stock company
will then be formed. The process of manufac-
ture requires the use of considerable amount
of water, for washing the beets, DC, but suit
able location could easily be found in Hartford
county. An effort is about to be made by Mr.
r. B, Mccoy to secure the capital required for
the proposed factory.
On the 4th instant farmers in the vicinity of
Broad Greek commenced the shipment of beets
to the Delaware Beet Sugar Company, at Will
mington, where they will be manufactured into
syrup This product will be sent to the refine
rics and converted into sugar-the Delaware
company not having perfected their arrange
ments for completing the process The works
of the company have the capacity of working up
one hundred tons of beets day. Four dollars
per ton is paid for beets, delivered at any of the
stations of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
| Baltimore Railroad.
The cultivation of sugar beets in Hartford
county this year was merely an experiment, but
the result has shown that bects producing the
highest per centage of sugar can be raised here
A sufficient quantity to the acre can also be
grown to make their cultivation profitable, pro-
vided the distance over which they must be
hauled to the rail- Dad is not too great.

quotation Is from an ancient Ms. in the Brit
Museum:
If Xmas day on Thursday be-
A windy winter We shall see;
Windy weather i'm each week,
And hard tempests, strong and thick;
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply:
That year is good for land to till,
Kings and princes shall die by skill;
If child born that day shall be-
1t shall happen right well for he
or deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise of speech and reasonable
Whose that day goes theving about,
He shall be punished without doubt;
And If sickness that day betide,
1t shall quickly from thee glide

The Appointment of Surgeon General.

Inc appointment Ol surgeon Uehclal'
The appointment by President Hayes OF
DIR. Philip S. Wales to the position of Sur,
geon General in the Navy over sixteen Off.
GERS of superior rank and of the highest quail
ifcatiOns, is one more instance of the total
disregard of law which pervadcs the present
fraudulent administration. The law and Gus.
tom has been to appoint the Chief of the Blu
reau of Medicine and Surgery in the Navy
Department from among the Medical Direc,
tors, who are officers of the first grade
choosing them in order of seniority. Accord,
ing to this well settled rule and custom, the
appointment should have been given to DR.
Lewis j. Williams, who is the senior Medical
Director, and who is, moreover, abundantly
qualified by his years of service and medical
attanments to fill the position.
DR.. Williams was born in Hartford county
Md He was appointed Assistant Surgeon
in 1912, since which time he has had thirty
eight years service, of which fifteen years
have been service at sea. He was with Com
modorc Perrys Japan expedition in 1924
and in 1856 was commissioned as Surgeon
DR.. Williams also served in the Mexican war
and was with Farragut in the battle of Mo-
bile Bay, For some years past he has been
Director of the Naval Laboratory, at Brook.
lyn, New York, and ranks as Captain.
DIR. Philip S. Wales, the proposed incum,
bent, holds "A lower position, being Medical
Inspector, with the rank of Commander He
has had 23l years service and only s! years
service at sea. Since 1874 he has been sta.
toned at Washington, attending officers
families. 1t was probably influence acquired
in that capacity which was brought to bear
upon Mr.. Hayes to induce him to override
all law custom and precedent, and elevate
DR.. Wales over the heads of sixteen other
officers of higher rank and of at least equal
qualifications. This wanton disregard of the
rights of so many eminent officers is an out
rage of the most fragrant character; but what
else could be expected of President who oc-
cupies an office to which he was not elected ?
DR.. Wales appointment is yet to be con-
firmed by the Senate, and we hope that body
will properly appreciate the wrong which
has been committed and promptly refuse to
ratify his appointment Public offices were
not intended to be given as rewards to the
favorites of heads Of departments, and officers
who have given all the years of their active
life to the service of the country, should be
protected in their rights from the caprice OF
those who temporarily administer the gov
eminent.
