POLITICAL NOTESI

The St. Louis Globe Democrat is convinced that this
State viii be the Presidential battle ground in 1880.
In the opinion of the st. Louis Republican the
South has good right to be "solid" ON one side
as New England on the other.
The st. Louis Republican would like to know
whether this is Mr.. Hayes administration or Mr..
Sherman's. 1t is Sherman here, there and every
where.
The Louisville Courier-Jour7aaI is confident that il
Mr.. Tilden himself be not the next nominee of the
democratic party the Tilden interest will name the
man. This il not very encouraging for Mr.. Hen
bricks.
The result OF the extra session of Congress, says
the Utica IN " Herald, that the President stands
to-day strong with the people at large as we'll as
with the party that elected him any President
stood in the United States.
In the event of Governor Talbot withdrawing from
the political field in Massachusetts the Boston Herald
thinks tnat Lieutenant Governor Long would be tho
republican nominee for Governor. Mr.. Talbot can
succeed himself if he wishes.
In the opinion of the Toronto Mail the Monroe
doctrine "has been almost completely forgotten
If it had never been propounded by President Of
the Republic" 1t would hardly be safe for the Mail
to act upon this. to 1t. comforting theory.
The st. Louis Post does not want Mr.. Tilden next
time. The democratic candidate. it says, must DO
nor afraid of blood rhe thermometer was 100 in
the shade in st. LOUIS when this opinion was given.
Governor Miller, of Arkansas. is for Hendricks.

the dsinterested members of the party to decide be-
tween them. Unless such policy is adopted

NATIONAL ABSOCIATION.
The rules governing the championship series Of
the National Association allow the contrasting clubs
to arrange the dates for playing their championship
games to suit themselves. which is done regardless
of the regular championship schedule which was
made at the opening OF tho by the cham pion-
ship schedule committee. thus rendering it almost
impossible to keep correct record of the champion
ship games the National Association clubs are al
most daily playing exhibition games with each other
The Springhelds are now even with the Nationals OF
Washington, in first position In games won, but
two games behind in games lost. which gives the
Nationals the preference of hrst position. The
Hoyokes and Albanys Likewise even in games
won but for the in the first case the
Abanys go above the Holyokes. they having lost the
fewest number Of games. The only other change of
positions being that OF the Woroesters going above
the New Bedfords. The following Is a correct list
far rs can be ascertained. OF the championship
games up to date:-

A company Tor the manufacture OF sugsr
from beets wss organized 10 Baltimore
last yer, and by encouraging the cultivs-
ton OF the sugar beets ia now re sdy to COM
mence operations upon two thousand acres
OF roots. This contains q valuable suggss-
ton to the people of Kansas. The manu-
fsctEre Of beet sugar is one Of the most
profitable industries in the world, snd there
is no place where it could be carried on to
better advantages than in our own State
Our extraordinarily rich soil, and specially
favorable facilities for manufacturing, give
us peculiar advantages over nearly all
other States Of the Union, for prosecuting
industries Of this character with profit
The following excerpt is from an art Gle in
reference to the Baltimore company spoken
Of above:
The first step taken was to procure seed
from Germany of the Celebrated German
sugar beet, from which sugar il msnufsc-
tured 10 that country. A sufficient guam
tity Of seed being obtained, they were plant
ed upon farms 10 various sections OF the
State. In all cases. il is stated, the results
have been very satisfactory, demonstrating
the fact that the soil of Mary land is partic-
ularly we'll adapted to growing this root.
The beets planted last year were put to the
test and yielded IL per cent of saccharipe
matter. which compares fsvorably with
those grown in Germany and France FEEL
ing confident of the adsptability of the
lands OF this State for beet culture, the
combination sent a representative to Ger
many to attend the convention of Beet
Sugar manufacturers recently held at
Frankfort, and to treat with Capitalists
there VINO have control of the patent ms
chinery used with regard to building q
