There seems, Just now, 10 be surfeit OIL
interviewing" Of politicians going on in
some Of the Wheeling papers. a ''let
up" is now in order-The silliest thing OIL
this kind we have met with Is the one pur.
porting to be an "interyiew" with Henry
s. Walker, Of the Third district. The
whole thing was evidently gotten up by
the gentleman himself, intended as q
gratuitous "pull" for the "big' Green.
hacker Of the Third district. The great.
est mystery about 1t, however, Is how such
articles find q place In the Democratic or.
gan Of the State,- Panhandle Netus.
There Is no mystery about It." at all.

In the hope OF running him into Congress
or into the Senate. II supports him, fol
the good he might do the Wheeling Regis
Ter, Il this district should be so unioftu'
nate as to allow him to be elected to Con

Tx western papesare as full Of accounts
Of big wheat crop at home as the Eng
lish journals and dispatches from Russia
are Of asmall yield abroad. The last two
States TO give completed estimates are
: Michigan and Indiana. The wheat acre!
age in Michigan Ia 10000 acres larger than
last year, and the yield, 100000 BUSH
els, isexactly twice the average yield Eve
years ago, so much effect has the panic
had in driving people to work, The wheat
crop Of Indiana ia placed at 5O,OOO,0OC
bushels, which will bring the farmers o.
the State at present prices about SS5, 0O0,-
900 cash. In many places the local papers
say that the net profit on this years crop
and last, more than equals the value Of the
land. As comparisons with England are
in order now It may be as well to notice
that these two States alone have an acre
age OF wheat larger than Great Britain and
produce three.iourths as much wheat.

Forgot 10 Look Into the Bed.

From the Rochester (Nlinn.l Post. ~ n
The adage above quoted is somewhat
antique, but is still full Of meaning and
wholesome advice. A few weeks ago Mis-
Chapman, who was visiting Mr.. Robert
Atkinson's, near oronoko, had little
scare that happily did not prove serious
She was retiring for the night, and, after
blowing out her light, she got into bed
Her hand came in contact with something
that moved. Miss Chapman sprang oul
OF bed and screamed loud enough to wake
up the whole township. The family o.
MIR. Atkinson. responded to the energetic
call for aid, lamp was procured, the bed
examined, and snake four and one,hall
feet long was found coiled up in the sheets

The investigations Of our senior Sena-
tor do not meet with that approval among
his colleagues and the rest OF mankind,
which Is grateful to statesman who con-
siders the appreciation Of the public the
highest reward Of earthly effort.
The Baltimore american says that
he is so convinced that he has dis.
covered an immense mares nest snug
ly ensconCed in the Treasury Depart
ment, that he has never since tired OF as
surfing people that il he could only get at
it he could find some extraordinarily large
sized eggs in it-being no less than deialca'
tons amounting to many h.illions Of dol
lars. He has devoted number ofspeeches,
which, in pamphlet form and duly frank
ed, have been showered into the offices
of all thes prominent newspapers Of
the country, and have fallen thickly
upon the Senator's own constituency. He
produces formidable arrays OF statistics to
show that the accounts OF the Treasury
Department have been cooked up so as TO
make false showings and that there are
discrepancies amounting TO many millions
Of dollars. This Davis idea is tenacious
Of life, and neither the Indifference and
amusement Of his colleagues and the oc-
casional endeavor of Republican Senators
TO explain the matter TO him, produces
the slightest impression. Ex.secretary
Boutwell,, who presumably knows some
thing about Treasury bookkeeping offered
hisservices to Mr.. Davis as guide through
the mysteries Of government accounts,
but to no avail. About year ago the
Senate passed resolution to allow him
to find out for himself, with permission to
employexperts to help him. The experts,
whoever they are, have been hard at work,
but so far have not been able to discover
anything wrong, The difficulty that they
have to contend with, according to the re-
mark Of one OF them, as reported by the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, is that Senator Davis has
made speech and now wants to find the
facts to justify it" The experts are, Of
course, willing to hang about the Treasu.
ry every day so long as they are paid for
it, but they seem now to be thoroughly
exhausted and are striking wild. 1t is
stated that they are now ut work exam
lining the reiunding operations Of the gov
eminent, 1t istrue the transactions took
place subsequent to the period referred to
in Senator Davis speeches, but so longas
they are paid to examine, the experts
doubtless think they must go on with ex.
aminations, no matter where.

The attention Of Southern planters is
being called TO the danger which threatens
their sugar interests. They are told by
such papers as the New York Times that
the time when the monopoly Of sugar
making must be divided among many Is
near at hand; that there Is Northern as
well as Southern sugar interest, and that
the former Is making wonderful progress.
Few at the North, outside Of the localities
where the beet-sugar business is being
prosecuted, know how extensive II has be-
come. Already some fourteen companies
have been formed in the States and Cana.
ia for the manufacture Of this sugar, and
the demand for seed this spring was so
great that immense quantities have
been imported from France. Sew
eral tons were ordered early in the
year for New Brunswick and Delaware
parties; the Maine Beet Sugar Company
took three. tons on the 18th Of April, and
on the 18th Of May an equal amount ar
rived for the farmers Of the Connecticut
Valley. These are but a few among the
many instances which might be named
As six pounds arc held to be ample fol
planting an acre, It can easily be seen thai
great area will be devoted to this root
this year. Good beets ought to yield from
nine to ten pounds Of sugar to the hun
bred weight, which is rather more than
the same quality Of cane will do. But un
der the process in use in many parts o.
the South II Is claimed that less than foul
pounds are made. Tho machinery fol
cultivating and treating the beets Il
30 perfected that the amount OF hand
labor necessary is very greatly reduced
and the experience Of many years il
France hasdone away with the necessity
for costly experiments in this country. Tht
effect OF beet culture on the prosperity o
community is well exhibited in France
Official records show that the production
Of cereals and meat has steadily increased
in those Departments where the root
we're regularly cultivated, and the same il
true OF similar sections Of Germany anG
Belgium. This years venture in this coun
try will have more important influence
on tho future Of This industry here thar
any which have preceded it. But the
complete success which has crowned the
efforts OF those who have heretofore raised
the sugar beet on small scale cannot vel
fail.to be the reward OF those who are nov
making trials much more extensive.
