syrup to the acre as the mean product
throughout the country; or, reducing this
amount to pounds of crystallizable sugar,
1,5SS pounds. This is less than a ton, but
there are some reasons why the average
yield of sugar from the sorghum planted
last year should be less than 1t may be ex-
pected to be in the future. The seeds dis
tributed were all those of the early amber
variety, which Is one of the smallest OF the
sorghum plants. and is especially adapted to
Northern ATTITUDES where the seasons are
short. 1t is probable that il other varieties,
requiring longer time to mature, but pro-
ducing from 80 to so per cent. more cane and
juice to an acre, had been planted in the
Southern States, the average yield from
it would have been very much greater. u
Such figures are of great Importance

within brief period Importstions of sugar
will be vastly reduced, and that eventually
they will disappear from the customs record
If the Department of Agriculture leads tC
such results, and there are no reasonable
grounds for doubt, 1t will be apparent to al
readers that Congress should make sucf
appropriations as will enable the Depart
ment to carry forward its experiments ant

Why Massachusetts Democrats Want
Bayard.
Boston Herald.1

Bayard.
Boston Herald.1
The Massachusetts, Democrats instinctivelY
seek the best candidate, with q feeling that
the best must be the strongest. They have
lost confidence in Tilden. He does not rep
resent to them what he did in 1876. He then
came forward with a record Of reform in the
government of the great State, in which cor
ruption had run riot. He is no longer asso-
ciated with the idea OF reform except In
satire. He has lost repute. appearing as q
slippery and tricky politician, intensely sell
tlsh. Massachusetts, Democrats turn away
from him to find candidate who will com
mand universal respect. No wonder
their eyes light on Bayard.
Bayard represents old-fashloned, sterling
honesty, broad view in politics, fidelity to
principle faith in the people. He is a man
no American need to blush 10 help place in
the Presidential chair. he is a candidate
for whom independent voters could go with
out any hesitation. Republicans whose
moral sense may be offended by the triumph
of the machine" in their own party, can
vote for Bayard, feeling that the Republic
will suffer no detriment at his hands. This
instinct which turns to the best candidate is
the highest wisdom. The only chance the
Democrats have for carrying the country is
in the selection of O candidate who is clean
and honest and capable of rising above
party. These qualities Bayard possesses,
and these would make him a strong candi-
date.
