The Radical papers say that the
legislation demanded by the Demo
Gratis in connection with the appro-
priation bill is with a view to assist
the election of Democratic Presi-
dent. Such is indeed the fact. We
believe if the people are left free to
vote as they please, without being in
undated by Deputy U. s. Marshals
or Government troops, they will elect
q Democratic President by such a
positive majority that no Electoral
Commission OF other fraud will dare
set the verdict aside. And we be-
lieye that such an election would
bring permanent rest and peace to
the country, Such are the aspira-
tions, patriotic and wise, out of which
spring the present defiant attitude OF
the party on the questions at issue,
and it is a craven Democrat, indeed,
who is ashamed of them or afraid OF
the consequences Wiikesba,re I'm

Leadville Colorado, is just now at
tracing more attention than any
place we know of. The richest gold
and silver deposits in the world are
supposed to be here, and marvellous
tales are told of the fortunes that
are to be made. The Leadville fe-
yer has reached West Virginia, and
we learn that some of our people will
go there to seek their fortunes soon.
A few months ago there were five
hundred inhabitants in this place
now there are twelve thousand and at
the rate they are now arriving, by
July there will be fifty thousand.
Leadville will certainly be mush-
room city. People all nationalities
are gathering there, to dig the glitter
ing ore. Here it will be as at all such
places, while one man is making a
fortune there will be at least fifty
who will lose what they already have.
While mechanics, receive good wages,
they are able to save nothinga as board
ing is SIS. per week and everything
elsein proportion. We would not adj
wise any of our West Virginia friends
to leave their homes for this Eldorado.
When they get there their golden
dreams will have all vanished and
they will find that it requires good
solid work and plenty of it to amass
fortune there, as elsewhere.

revival of trade here than all other
causes combined. The question Of
building this road will soon be

BEET SUGAR.-The announcement
comes from California that new pro.
Gees has been adopted in the making OF
beet sugar which will reduce the cost
one-half. The new process consists
simply in drying the beets before sub
jecting them to grinding, instead Of dry
ing them raw. IL is said that this is the
practice in France, where nearly all the
sugar consumed is made from beets,
and i: is surprising that the California
sugar manufacturers have not adopted
1t before. Raw beets, besides being bit.
ter, yield only per cent, of :accharin e
matter, while dried beets, it is asserted
yield so per cent. At present it costs
z cents pound TO make beet sugar in
the California establishment, but BY the
new process il can be made FOR 81 cents
pound, and the same mill will turn
out three times "a much as under the
old method. If these statements are
| true, it is strange that the beet sugar
! makers Of California did not learn the
proper method of manufacture years ago
since it is said to have been long prac-
ticed in France. IL beet sugar can he
made at u cost OF 81 cents pound, oil

consumers are glad to have it so, for
