SUGAR FROM DEsPIsED PLANTS.

ULTIMATE EXPORT OF AMERICAN GROWN SUGAR
PREDICTED.
lBT TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE
WAsHINGTON. Nov. 21.-A leading feature of the
report Os the Commissioner Of Agriculture will be
a dissertation on the manufacture of sugar from
sorghum and corn-stalks.
The chemist of the Agricultural Department has
been experimenting this year, in order to ascertain
at what age the different varieties of plants give
the best results. The Early Amber variety of sor-
ghum proves to be the most profitable. Stalks of
this plant were gathered on the 18th of July and
cut III halves. The tops gave .0i20 per cent of
sucrose, or crystazabie syrup, and .Oi65 per cent
of glucose, or uncrystallizable syrup. The expert
ments were continued with stalks gathered about
once a week until August 30 when the seeds were
just beginning to become dry. The sucrose or val
uablc matter at the last experiment had increased
TO .14S2 per cent and the glucose had decreased to
.Ol15 per cent The experiments made with the
lower halves of the stalks gave .0tG5 per cent of
sucrosc and .O2SS of glucose Oh the 18th of July,
and 1i7l per cent of sucrosc and $50 of glucose
on the 30th of August.
Commissioner LeDuc has just returned from the
West. whittier he went tn inspect the processes of
various sugar growing and manufacturing enter
prises. He reports that the most promising results
have already been obtained He visited one manu-
factory in Illinois. where $4,000 pounds Of sor-
ghum sugar have been made this season. equal in
every respect to the best product of the sugar
and this enterprise has been carried OH under ex-
ceptional difficulties. He visited, received re-
ports from, many other localities To which he had
sent sorghum seeds all speaking in the most favor
able terms of tho prospects. Individual farmers In
Texas, Minnesota, Virginia and intermediate States
report having made. at very little expense, their
own yearly supply OF sugar from seeds supplied by
the department.
"You may rldicule tho project to your hearts
content" SAID the Commissioner to q correspondent

The alliance between two great railroad
systems which the sale OF Central stock
was admitted to indicate was doubted by
many, who confessed however. that they had
no ground for their doubts, except that they had
supposed the two systems necessarily antagonistc.
The principal cause Of the failure to COM

TIOE OF TIE SITUATION IN VIRGINIA.
IBY TELEGRAPH To TIE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-Yestcrday delegation Of
Virginia Republicans called upon the President, and
were soundly lectured for their in the recent
election. The President lectured us severely"
said one OF them to-day, "fOr having sided with the
Readjustcrs IN the recent campaign. lie urged us
to adopt new policy in Virginia. to cooperate with
the Dcbt-payers, and to declare that the Republi-
cans vino acted with the RcadJusters should cease
TO be considered az in good party standing"
Another Republican. 4 Debt-payer and leading
man in us party in Virginia, who heard the Presi-
dents remarks defends the action of those who
voted with the Rcadiusters rs follows The posi-
tion # the Republicans in virginia is not under
stocd either by the President or by Northern kepub
iiclns The recent contest in that State is only
known in the North n struggle between what are
called the Dcb-payers and Readjusters, what the
North choose to term the repudiators Now.
the truth is the great majority of the Re-
publicans, the rank and file of the party,
did cooperate with the Rcadjustcrs. and
made the victory of that party possible But it is
untruthful and unjust to call the Readjustcrs re-
pudators. No party IN Virginia advocates repudia-
ton. The question at issue to the time and
form of the payment of the public debt. and
whether, for instance, the schools should be closed
to enable the State to pay greater amount of in
tcrest than it can Iow afford But, as matter of
fact the debt question, although it is understood in
the North to have been the only question at issue,
was by 10 means the controlling Influence in the
campaign. The fight of the Readjusters was
a fight against Bourbon Ring rule, against
the Democratic machine. against the party of
intolerance and oppression against the party which
has prescribed the negro and Republlcanlsm,
planted itself upon the color line, and cherished all
the traditoins if not the purposes of secession The
Readusters the contrary care little for the fate
OF the Democracy. They are working for better
State Government, for relief from ring rule, and 1t
is true they have been aided by the Republicans.
The overthrow of the Bourbon Democracy in Vir-
Qinia is 10 be secured and new party, which cares
little for he memories of the Rebellion to burn

Last Wednesday evening Conductor Dunn's
construction train ran off the track on the
new Fergus Falls road, six miles south of
Rarnesville, no one being injured. II. G.
Patterson and NJ. Leyden, Of this place,
were at once dispatched to the scene of dis
aster to assist in clearing the wreck. One of
the fiat cars was being gradually raised by
means of jack screws in order that q pair of
trucks which had broke loose might be
placed back in their proper position under
the car and fastened; when the trucks had
been placed under the end of the car thew
didn't come quite opposite the king bolt
that was to hold them secure; young Leyden
proceeded beneath the car to see how far the
trucks lacked of being in their right posi-
ton, the end Of the car still being raised by
the jack screws; Leyden-stiil under the car
in that perilous position-said the trucks
did not lack ever an inch and half or two
inches of being in their proper place, and
these words had hardly been uttered before
the car gave way as he was in a kneeling at
titude beneath, catching his head beneath
the draw bar and the "1ange'' of the wheel.
His death was instantaneous, his head being
crushed and neck broken.

six per cent. bonds with four per cents,
aside from the commission allowed, amount
ed to considerably more than two and half
millions of dollars. This amount represents
the double interest allowed to subscribers to
the four per CENTS, which, though technically
legal, was a grave imposition on the people
The secretary chose to call in certain bonds
three months in advance of the date upon
which interest would cease, giving the hold
ers of those bonds the opportunity to claim
double rate of interest for that period.
The indications are that Mr.. Fernando
Wood will again endeavor;to press his tariff
revision scheme. We do not know what
provisions the bill, as at present framed,
contains, but unless it is immeasurably su-
perior to the bill introduced by the same
gentleman at the last session, We would ad-
wise Congress to have nothing to do with it.
MIR. Woods bill was in some respects good
one, but it lacked the requisite of thorough
ness. No measure should receive the con-
sideration of Congress, that does not grapple
the whole question. To attempt to change
duties on few articles, would only exotic a
feeling of distrust in the minds of the
business public, and tend to unsettle values
on all products of foreign importation. Tar
if revision can only be effective if it is tho
rough and permanent.
Political projects will no doubt be numer-
GUS during the session, but there is nothing
to be hoped for from it. The reign of Bun
combe will be absolute during the greater
part of the session. We trust, however, that
there will be as little of that sort of thing
as possible, and that the Democrats will alb.
stain from discussions that can result in no
permanent good. The duty of the repre-
sentatives of the people is to work diligently
for their interests and to leave the future to
the sober judgment of the people.

-Four FireS.

The Minneapolis fire department wa. Kept
pretty busily engaged yesterday in answering
the various alarms sent in from different prr-
tions of town.

this case proved to be in the roof of the OK.
tension of Mat. KEGS grocery store on First
street and Fourth avenue north. The fire had
not gained much Roadway, and with the Bah
cocks from the hook and ladder truck and
stream from No. 8, the flames were soon
sanelched. The damage will not foot up over
$50.
At noon box Is of the fire alarm telegraph
sent in an alarm and all the steam whistles
and the fire bells were soon belching forth a
terrible alarm. The department rushed out to
Tenth avenue south to discover that nil

damage was done and the services of the fire.
men were not needed.
The department had just returned to their
respective hose houses when smother alarm waa
sounded, and they rushed down to Sixth street
and Fifth avenue south. Here it was discov-
cred that the furnace pipes in the residence of
| l.. @. Bisbee had caught fire and the building
| was endangered. The prompt attention of the
| fire laddies nipped the flames in time to prevent
any damage worth mentioning.
The fourth alarm was from box l23, and
proved to be caused by the appearance of flames
from a house between Sixth and Seventh ave-
| nues south, owned by Mrs. Shepard. Damages

A sPAsM of good sense has finally over
taken the law officers of Chicago. Several
years ago, the city collector, George Won
Hollen, stole over hundred thousand dol
lars and decamped to Canada. He had q
little private business to attend to In Chi
oago, few days ago, which required his
presence in the city, and in order to reach
there, he made an affidavit charging prom:
inent citizen with grave offense. Relying
upon the truth of his statements, and in
order to secure his evidence, the mayor and
district attorney gave him safe conduct to
the city. When placed upon the stand,
however, Won Hollen unblushingly declared
that the contents of his affidavit were false.
and that he had sworn to it for the sole pur-
pose of getting back to attend to his bus
mess, without danger of arrest. His depen-
dence has proved to be a poor one, however,
for he has been arrested and placed in Jail to
stand trial not only for his original crime of
embezzlement, but for perjury. If he shall
serve term in Joliet, the interests of Justice
will be served.

In the House on Tuesday Mr.. White, of
Pennsylvania, introduced resolution for q
constitutional amendment forbidding riders
on appropriation bills, and giving to the
President the power to disapprove of any
part of given bill without defeating the
entire measure. This is an exceedingly un-
wise measure, pregnant with evil. In effect
it makes of the President the dictator Of
Congress by giving him the power to cast
impediments in the way of legislation that
may be deemed necessary by our Senators
and Representatives or demanded by large
majority of the people. It is privilege
that is liable to be abused, and for that rea-
son if for no other should not pass. We do
not wish to place too much power in the
hands Of the executive, for he may use it to
our great injury.

For downright idiocy Mr.. Weaver, one of
the Greenback Representatives from Iowa,
is entitled to the belt. He has offered bill
in the House declaring that as the soldiers
and sailors were paid in deprecated currency,
the difference between that currency and
gold should be paid them at this time. The
amount required for the purpose is esti-
mated at five hundred millions of dollars.
While the preamble to his bill is correct
enough, we do not think that half dozen
soldiers can be found in the country who are
either foolish or knavish enough to demand
what MIR. Weaver proposes to grant them.
It is fortunate for that gentleman that the
fool killer is not due at Washington until af-
ter his term of Office expires.
