CULTURE OF BEET SUGAR.

1t took half century to establish the
manufacture of beet sugar on a firm
basis in France, but when once estab-
lished it became one of the leading in
dustries of the country. Why the sugar
beet should not thrive as well in the soil
of the United States as in France, we
have yet to see any good reason for sup
posing, if the people will direct their at
tention to its cultivation. If it can be
produced as readily and yield as literally
of saccharine then the appliances for con-
verting it into sugar ought not to be long
awaited in country that invented the
cotton gin, the electric telegraph, the
! telephone, the moving and sewing ma
chimes, and we shall accordingly feel sur
prise if public attention is not shortly
turned to this new and as yet undevel-
oped branch of industry that seems to
be so well adapted to our climate and
soil.
The value of the sugar imported into
the country in 1877 is set down at $751;
lS7 ,504, or nearly one-sixth of the total
importations of the country The peo-
pie of the United States consumed in the
year 1876 1869, 100000 pounds of sugar,
or 745,000 tons. OF this less than ten
per cent was produced in Louisiana, and
the balance imported from the West In
dies Brazil the Dutch East Indies,
China, Mexico, England, Germany, Bel
GUM, France and the Sandwich Islands,
and the consumption of sugar is annually
increasing. Why then should not an
effort and a serious one be made to
establish and place on stable footing
an industry that would keep at home
upwards of $S0,000,000. France, that
is one of the leading producers
of beet sugar in Europe, now
grows about one and a half
millions of tons per year, and not only
does she supply her own people but has a
large surplus for expectation. This
prosperous and t1ourlshlng branch OF
national industry is due to the energetic
determination of Napoleon, who, in 1912,
undertook to foster and develop the pro-
duction in France of an article that
hitherto had drawn vast sum of money
to enrich the labor of other countries.
That the United States shall continue to
send abroad for what she has the soil to
produce, the ingenuity to extract, the
industry to cultivate and the climate to
perfect, seems at least improbable when
once public attention is drawn to it;
especially when the experience of the
last fifty years of experimenting in
France and Germany is available for
making the experiment successful one.

Sherman saw our elephant, the Southern
Railway, Yesterday.
Andrew Jackson was no friend Of the
National Banks, nor is Ewing. In this both
agree.
Ewing and Pendleton have the same
opinion of the finance question. Pendleton
has become United States Senator, and EW-
ing will be Governor of Ohio. Both are
men and Democrats who are looked to, as
far as the financial question is concerned.
The American flag has almost entirely
disappeared from the seas. Only now and

Secretary Sherman can feel satisfied with
his reception in Cincinnati.
What will become of American city gov
ernments? Can they keep on this way?
From year to year the burdens and debts
are increasing and in spite of all OUTLAWS Of
money our streets are becoming more and
more dirty and impossible. The misery Of
municipal managements is the greatest
trouble of the problem of American gov
ernment.

Centennial celebrations have of late

Mr.. Jenkins opened the campaign
in Madison on Monday evening
last in u speech which was listened
to by n large crowd of the best citi-
zcns. lin the audience were many
ladies, who were attentive listeners
to tho governors speech especially
those portions which related to null
LITIGATION. There is no subject that
is Of such absorbing interest to the
American ladies rs the subject Of
notification, and the mastery man
ncr in which it was handled by Mr..
Jenkins elected great enthusiasm,
If our advice had been needed, all
other questions would have been
dropped out Of the canvass, and the
campaign conducted upon nullih-
cation alone. We believe m enthu-
siasm could have been worked up
for notification that would have
swept the state like wildfrc ; every
vote could have been got out to the
polls, and il would have been u
splendid trial Of strength between
the two parties, Politics would
have fairly boiled, and the great

publieans with notification, and

platform adopted and the excellent
ticket put in nomination proves
this assertion to be true. The plat
form is made up of sound Demo
cratic principles. There is not an
office-seeker on the ticket. Never
in the history of the Demo-
cratic party of this State was it
more deserving Of victory than
now. 1t has never been as well
prepared to meet n defeat. The
defeat of a party that consistently
adheres to such course as the
Democratic party of Wisconsin is
now pursuing can be only tempo
rary.
But, is what we have shown to
be true Of the Democratic party Of
Wisconsin alike true of the Repub-
lican party? Has it laid Boss
Reyes and other machine politi-
clans on the shelf, and is the party
trying to reform itself from within
Are not such men working the
hardest for the success Of tho Re-
publican party? Is not tie party
under the control Of men who cul-
tIyate and encourage the spirit Of
party for their own selfish and
ambitious purposes. In u word,
has not the bascr clement" the
cormorants that are without prin-
ciple or honor gained the asccn-
dency over the better element,
which is now without power to
help itself2

The Democracy Of Wisconsin
have this year laid the foundation
Of the future success of the party,
If the course which has been
marked out is consistently followed
the complete triumph of the DEM
ocratio party in this State will be
only question Of time.
Political parties are useful or
necessary only SO far as they aid in
carrying out right principles of gov
eminent, or i'll the election to office
of men of integrity, ability and
fitness, When party becomes n
mere machine which the politician
uses at his pleasure to control votes
and to keep himself and his friends
in office, it should be ovcrthrown,
10 matter by what principles it
may profess to be guided, or by
what name il may please to call
itself.
1t has been truthfully said that
in the main both political parties,
Republican and Democratic, are
made up Of rival patriots. II is
only when the haser element in
either controls or guides the mem
bers Of that party that it becomes
odious. Men may honestly differ
with us in politics. But when truth
and honor are laid aside, when the
highest aims of Il party appear to
lie to keep its members IN office
and to substitute its devotion TO
principle for devotion to plumber,
then is that party deserving Of the
condemnation Of all right-minded
men. But the better, and not the
haser, element Of the Democratic
party asserted itself i'll the recent
Democratic State Convention. The

J. NJ. SMITH FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
No man in this part of the State
stands better with the people than
does Mr.. j. M. Smith. He has
never been IN oilico-seckcr, although
qualified to fill any Office within
the gift of the people. We have
not deemed il necessary to refer to
Mr.. Smiths candidacy for Attorney
General other than in general
way. Anything Tint we might say
in regard TO his qualifications for
the office would be superlluous, i'm
asmuch rs he is known to nearly
every voter IN Iowa county, When
the Democratic party dominates
such men for Office il deserves sue
cess. We take the following article
upon the candidacy Of Mr.. Smith
from pamphlet issued by the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee:
"The democratic candidate for At
torney General is j. NJ. Smith, of Min
eral Point. He Is II son of tho late
venerable William II. Smith, Of Min

esteemed by all the early settlers in

From all parts of the county
comes the report that Democrats,
Republicans, and Greenbaekors, are
working for him, and If we are not
badly mistaken Iowa county will
give him Il majority that will as
tonish even his most hopeful
friends.

The superiority Of the Democratic

Republicans are trying to prevent

would make an able representative
of the people, that he would faith
fully guard their interests in the
Legislature is to be lightly thought
Of when they take into consider
alton the fact that his election
would contribute to the breaking
down of the Republican party ma
chinery. Independent Republicans,
as well as independent Democrats,
have become tired Of this sort of
argument against voting for men of
acknowledged ability and fitness.
Men and newspapers who are
ever ready and willing to do their
party bidding may be found oppo-
sing the election to office Of such
men as Hon. Robert Wilson; but
III the main they are not sustained
by the honest, thinking men Of any
party. The election Of such men
means tic smashing Of all party
machinery. While Mr.. Wilson has
been a lifelong consistent Demo-
crat, he has never deemed the
interest of his party of greater inn
portancc than the interest Of the
whole people. The Dodgeyillc
Chronicle says: q" We have nothing
to say against Mr.Wilson's character
as q man or u neighbor, but politi-
cally he it rock-rooted Democrat
of the most orthodox type" What
does such nonsense as this mean?
Politically Mr.. Wilson does not suit
the Chronicle. In its rawlings it
hurls such meaningless sentences
rs the above mt him. 1t acknowl-
edges Mr.. Wilson's strength rs d
candidate when it finds it necessary
TO use such worn out arguments
against his election.
RICHARD KENNEDY FOR MEMBER or
NORTHERN DISTRICT.
The Democrats of the northern
district are to be congratulated
upon the fact that the nomination
of Mr.. Richard Kennedy, as can
didatc for member of Assembly,
is one of the best nominations that
could have been made. Had the
Democrats brought out n less pop
ular man in that district they
would have had to work hard to
secure his election. But Mr.. Ken
ncdy's nomination has put ut rest
any hopes which the Republicans
may have entertained of carrying
the district, Mr.. Kennedy is pop
ular with the people. He is Il true
representative of that class of men
who demand that the abuses which
the Republican party are heaping
upon us shall be ovcrthrown. He
did not seek the nomination, but
was brought out by his friends,who
recognized in him u man whose
nomination for the position would
add strength to the Democratic
ticket.
j. II. HusE FOR MEMBER OF ASSEM-
BLY-sourTERN DISTRICT.

crat is chosen us member of Assem-
