u own midst, are no longer matters
of doubt even in the minds Of the
most sceptical, however simple the
proposition may have appeared to the
friends Of the enterprise. The fact
that within the past ninety days nine
hundred tons Of sugar and molasses
have been produced by a single com
pany in our neighbouring city of Port
land, from beets raised in New Eng
land, is of itself worthy Of mention,
marking, as it does, the dawn of a
grand and remunerative industry.
The Importance of this fact is, how
ever, increased when we consider
that the whole Of this sugar and mo-
@lasses, which found ready sale in Bos-
ton and New York for 10000 dolls,
has been produced upon! LOO acres
of land, or less than two square miles
of territory; in other words, each
acre of sugar beets in the State Of
Maine has produced 1858 pounds of
sugar and molasses; or, to be more
explicit, each acre has yielded 1900
pounds of sugar and 433 pounds Of
molasses, which exceeds the average
product per acre from sugar cane in
Louisiana.
This statement, though highly en-
couraging, fails to do justice to the
facts, since the average crop of beets
has fallen very far short of what may
and ought to be raised. 1t was, in eve
rysense, an experimental crop. In nine
S out of ten the farmers had never
before raised sugar beets, and OF
course did not obtain the results
which may be expected hereafter"
The writer Of the article then goes
on to review the prospects, and,
though he mentions some draw
backs, concludes thus:
"Movements for factories are al
ready making in n orthampton, Frank
lin,, Lancaster, and other localities.
If the tariff on sugar remains unal
tered, and our currency continues on
a specie basis, America may possibly
at no distant day become the produ-
Ger OF her own sugar"
In the face of facts like these it be-
comes a serious question how long the
old system of the West Indies, already
in a very weak condition, can stand.
This is no new alarm everybody has
seen the danger for a long time still
each new cloud added to the dark
mass accommodating over head natu-
rally leads us to look for the early
bursting of the storm. In the old
days a short cropin the West Indies
meant a rise in the price of sugar;
but now the whole West Indian sup
ply is so small in comparison with
that from other sources that q very
short crop and a very low price are
quite posi- bic at the same time. This
is Just what has happened to the
English farmers in regard to their last
crop of wheat, and has ruined many of
them. 1t is true on the other hand
that a short beet crop and consequent
high prices are p ossible along with a
very heavy crop in the West Indies.
Such a position of uncertainty can,
however, only be successfully heldbya
capitalist, and as people Of capital
are not likely to be attracted to the
West Indies in these DAYS of prof.

A NOTES.

The weather still continues favour
able, fair showers having fallen dur
ing the past month although, in har-
mony with the average of previous
observations, the month of June has
been dryer than its predecessor. The
fall in the middle of the island was "a
lines, and the average roughly about
20 lines.
The Avis during the past month
has circulated, as we always endea-
YOUR that it should, several interest
ing articles bearing on our colonial
industries. As coming closest homo
to us at the present time we may first
recall the elaborate calculations fur
nished by a correspondent who
handles the question of the factory as
a planters Institution. Interesting as
are such calculations, they will pro
baby be made up with considerable
differences for each estate, according
to its situation, character of soil, and
other circumstances and we have
always thought that the indirect adj
vantages Of the factory are, IS our
correspondent says, "By tar the great
est" The question indeed is q much
broader one than whether it pays
best to make muscovado or sell the
canes to make crystallized sugar ;
tho real question is under what condi-
tons can the ca~ne-growing colonies
keep their footing in face of the ever
growing competition Of beet. That it
is a growing competition there can be
no doubt. Only q month ago we
learned that the breadth of land sown
with beets had been greatly extended
in all the beet growing countries ex-
cept Belgium. When we come to
ask why this should be SO in the face
of the low prices which have for some
time prevailed, we perhaps find a
partial solution in the greatly extend
ed wheat producing power of N. W.
America. The floods of wheat and
-four which can be poured into the
European markets from the United
States prevent any serious rise in
price, whatever may be the condition
of the European wheat crops. There
is consequently less attraction in
wheat growing, aud farmers cast
about for other ways Of employing
their energies. 1t is noteworthy that
even in England the question is being
agitated whether beet sugar could
not be protitably raised in the south
ern counties /; and the eastern states
of America, driven from grain grow
ing by the overwhelming productive
ness of the far west, are seriously
turning their attention to the beet.
That this statement is not without
foundation may be best shown by
quoting from an article published in
the american CNl6vator and reprinted
in the Sugar Cane for June.
The writer says
"The friends of progressive agricul-
ture will he pleased to learn that the
b~eet-sugar industry in New England,
so recently a matter Of theory, pro-
nounced by some conservative au-
thorities as visionary and impractical
bic, has been reduced to a plain,
matter-of-fact business operation. That
sugar beets can be successfully raised

THE PRESIDENCY.
Colorado Probably Solid for Grant
LITTLE BOOM FOR BAYARD.

DENVER Col. May 25.-Repubican state
convention met this forenoon. Col John
Clayborn, a Grant man, was made temporary
chairman. A delegate from Chaffee county
offered the following:
Whereas, A Republican caucus was in SEES
sion last night for the purpose OF determining
the work of today's convention, and
Whereas We 81 delegates to the conven-
ton representing Republican counties which
cast in 1878 100 of 2700 majority received by
the Republican candidate for governor, were
not only not invited to said caucus, but abso-
lutely excluded therefrom on application for
admission simply because of not procuring the
regular password never before required at a
Republican caucus, therefore
We protest against said action which COM
pletely STILES the strongest Republican counties
of the state and renders the presence of their
representatives mockery and farce. We
have met in this convention as friends to fight
a common foe and not each other. Hence we
deny the right of any section of the party to
take any secret action which treats us as a foe
unworthy Of a share in the proceedings of the
convention, though representing, as we be-
lieve, the sentiment of the actual majority OF
Republican voters of the state.
The resolution was not entertained.
Committee on credentials, largely composed
of Grant delegates, was appointed and re-
cess was taken. 1t seems probable that solid
Grant delegation will be chosen.
New jerseys Delegation to Cincinnati.
TRENTON, May 25.-New Jersey delegations
to the Cincinnati convention decided it would
be unwise and unnecessary to adopt a unit
rule as the delegation would vote harmonious
ly.
Delaware for Bayard.
DOVER, Del, May 25.-The indications this
morning were that there would be quite live
ly fight between the Salisbury and Bayard
factions attending the Democratic State con-
vention, but everything went of smoothly.
Charles B. Lore was elected chairman and
delegates to the Cincinnati convention were
chosen. A resolution instructing the elega-
ton to vote for Bayard for President was
adopted, also one recommending adherence to
the two-thirds rule. The proceedings were
not once interrupted by objection or debate
and lasted only about two haurs. The dele
CATION to Cincinnati, it is believed, will vote
as unit for Bayard Notwithstanding some
members are personally antagonistic to him.
Republicans Gathering at Chicago
CHICAGO, May 25-Among the prominent
Republicans here in anticipation of the Ma
tional Convention are W. P. Frye and Eugene
Hale. VIM. E. Chandler arrived today and
his quarters at once became the headquarters
of the supporters of Blaine. Ten delegates and
good many politicians arrived.

Secretary, read his annual report. The total
receipts were 1914 $780, The union has now 81

4 unmarried men and Al unmarried women in
Asia and Euroe. There are 919 churches in
charge of the Union, with total membership
Of 81, 900, with reports incomplete from parts Of
the field. At the session yesterday Captain
Ebenezer Morgan, of Connecticut, offered
$4,000 per year for years for prosecuting a re-
yised translation of the Bible, providing $780,
600 is raised. The movement is generally
froW ned upon as generally understood. The
Missionary Union can do all the work through
its missionaries with better effect. The sub
ject of Bible work was referred to commit
tee with Rev. DR.. Edward johnson, of Mas sa-
chusetts, as chairman. Rev. III. S. Bur-
rage, of Portland, Me-, was elected Recording
