ward aseertained, good quality of sugar
beets can not be produced. In the case Of
the Illinois factory. there was no suitable
supply Of water, while the soil in the Vi
ciniiy was poorly adapted to the production
of beets. A poor quality of bcets is likely
TO be raised by farmers who have had no in
struction or experience in The business. In
France, Germany and Russia the individu-
ais, firms or Companies owning factories
generally raise their own beets and produce
superior roots. Skilled workmen have not
been employed to conduct operations. As a
rule, the Superintendent is the only person
about the establishment who understands
the business, and his time is too much occu-
pied to give much attention 20 the details OF
manufacturing. Persons thinki.g OF start

well to study the causes of the failures of
other establishments. We generally hear
only the story of those concerns that have

and labor systems are all very different from
ours aud where there Is beside, a market fOI

OPPOSED TO 4 RISE IN RENTS.

A mass meeting OF tenants and Others opposed to
the increasing on May of tenement-house rents
took place last evening at Germana Hall under the
auspices of the sociastic Labor Party. About 1000
persons were present, the great majority OF them
being German Socialists Robert H. Bartholomee
was elected chairman, Ernst Schmidt viCe-president
and Mr.. Pallock English secretary Mr. Barth0lo-
NEE, in his opening speech, said that although the
Socalistic party had started the anti-rent move
ment it did not intend TO make political capital out
of it,
s. E. Shevitch Editor of the VoIkssetung spoke
at length in the German language about the mo-
nopolies which thrive in New-York City" 60 The
property owners" he said, "caim that the reason
why they are going to raise the rents is that the
value of property has risen. But what should have
caused it to risef All know that the value of labor
has not undergone change for the better: The
truth is il sufiices in New York that few Wal-st
specuatvrs put their heads together and determine
raising the value of real estate for all the rents to
become higher throughout the city. The second
argument used by property-owners is that expenses
are greater now than they were before, aud that
taxation has increased Yet according to q real
estate paper supported by these very propertyown-
ers tho entire statistical value of taxable property
in New-YOrk City in 1875 was $3.50 600, 900, upon
which $32, 100000 in taxes was paid, while in IN
1880 this Same property valued at 5000 O,OOOOUO
upon which only $2S, 100000 in taxes was paid;;
Thus the taxes far from increasing, nave decreaseu
by 81, 100000" .4h.,
The speaker concluded by saying 1aat a sa9 aS rod'
reason for the raising of rents was because Tue a1o
lords were always sure of finding tenants anu ul1

rent.

norant and unfriendly criticism but no is energetic,
straightforward sagacious aud sturdily honest, and
will not be long in winning a new title to public
confidence. There is great deal he eau do to lift
his Department to higher level of efficiency. The
Indian Bureau needs vigilant oversight GDd the
steady. patient application of well-matuIed plans
for the progress Of the Indians toward civilization.
The Pension Bureau needs aid in its effort, begun,
unhappily at very late day, to purge its rolls of
fraudulent pensioners and to prevent ones from
getting upon them. The Land Office system needs
0verhauling by the aid of Congressional action TO
facilitate the settlement of the grazing forest and
mining districts of the Far West and TO encourage
irrigation of arid tracts. The Bureau of Education
will have to be put upon much broader basis If
National aid is given to the common schools of the
South. Something could perhaps bo done in the
Patent Office TO give more encouragement and pro-
lection to valuable inventions and to discourage the
multitude Of worthless or fraudulent ones. So the
new Secretary Of the Interior has plenty Of work
upon his shoulders, but they are broad enough to
