Sugar Beets.

Messrs. George w. Stone, Secretary, y.
D. Warner, Treasurer, and Isaac Vanden-
berg, Agricultural Superintendent, ofthe
Delaware Beet Sugar Company, came to
Middletown on Saturday afternoon to talk
with the farmers about planting sugar
beets. The day was a very stormy one
and not more than dozen farmers braved
the weather to hear the talk on beets.
Messrs. Stone and Vandenberg made
short speeches. The former said that last
year there was manufactured at the COM
pany's works, at Riverside, about I03, 900
pounds Of beet sugar Of good quality. The
average per cent of sugar in beets used was
9.52. The crop was harvested late in Oc-
tober, and tests made of the same beets in
September showed that one per cent of
sugar had been lost by allowing the crop
to remain so long in the ground. The
prices offered by the company for the
coming season range from So so per ton
for beets containg s per cent Of sugar to
$50 per ton for beets containing Ii per
cent of sugar, delivered on the cars at any
railroads. The best soil for the growth of
beets is that upon which good crop of
wheat has been grown the preceding year.
The company expects to obtain the yield
of from 800 to 1000 acres this year, and
would like to have 1,5O0 acres planted.
Contracts have already been made with
farmers in New Jersey for about 100 acres,
in Pennsylvania for 80 acres. in Maryland
for $50 acres, in the vicinity of Middletown
for 100 acres, in Kent county for so acres,
and for sundry parcels in the upper part
Of this county. The largest and most
successful grower thus far has been Mr..
E. c. Fennimore, of Odessa, who, will
plant about 40 acres this year. He carried
off the first prize last year, and will COM
pete for the prize now offered Of $500 for
the best 100 tons of beets grown during
the coming season.

WAsnIGroN, November 2S.-In conse-
quence of the alarm caused in some por-
tons of the country by the reported spread
ing of small pox, the acting Postmaster
General to-day issued the following order:
Where the health-oiticers of a village,
town or city, by Official action decline
mail matters from any other village,
town or city, liable to COM
municate any contagious disease
which, at the time is prevailing in the place
1t is thus sought to quarantine, and such
health officers shall furnish to the post
master certified copies of such deciara-
ton, which shall be duly sent 10
the postmaster, to refuse acceptance
OF such mail from any carrier or mail mes
senger, and lac shall furnish such carrier or
mail messenger with copy of such
declaration, to be delivered by him
TO the, Office thus quarantncd, with
the mail refused, and the facts shall at once
be reported to the First Assistant Post
master-General. In the-abscnce of Board
OF Health officers, the. declaration oi-any
regular county or city medical society
may be accepted, and failing
TO have such organization the opinion of
such physicians as the postmaster may re-
gard as most reliable may be acted on.

TIE Utica Herald strikes the right chord.
1t says truly that "thc United States is the
only civilized country in the world which
INDUCES in raw diplomacy. 1t i. the only
country where diplomatic positions are
used merely as the rewards of partisan SER
vice" After some of this "raw material"
has made two or three plumbers some day
calculated to plunge us into war or cost us
millions of money, the policy of perma-
ncnt or tried diplomatic corps will be seen
without much argument The men who
come TO us as representatives of the Euro
pean powers are men who have been in such
service for lifetime, while those whom we
generally send abroad to manage our great
international relations, are, in majority
ofcases unknown, unread and only re-
commended by some such act as buying up
a convention for the appointing power,
writing clever pieces of poetry, making u
neat aiter-dinner speech or an intimate ac-
quaintancc with one of the Presidents
confidential advisers. Some of our Rep
resentatives are positively disgraceful to
the nation.

somewhat hastily taken, and doubtless in
the spirit that we have. been deprecating.
1t is proper to discuss, but declaration of

be accomplished by infringing or refusing

In will be seen that Wise county has met
with Il very serious loss in the burning of
its courthouse, together with most of the
court records, cattle-brand records and
other documents and papers ofparamount
importance and value. Such connagra-
ton will necessarily cause much confusion
and inconvenience, and we can conceive of
no punishment too severe for the criminal
who is responsible for the act, as there
seems to be no doubt of it being a piece
Of incendiarism.
