SORGHUM SYRUP.
The Demand For This Kind Of sweeteminy In.
cressing Owing 10 Falling of In Other
proiuetians

An upward tendency in the sorghum
market for some time past, and the adj
vance of price to 50 cents per gallon.
which sorghum has reached within a
few days. suggested an inquiry as TO the
causes. The increase of price is from
% cents 10 nearly double that amount.
From l. aac A. Hedges, late president of
the Mississippi Valley Cane-Growers'
association, it was learned the main
cause for the increased demand for
sorghum was falling off in the pro-
duction of New Orleans molasses. He
said the use of the vacuum-pans, in
place of open kettles, on Louisiana
sugar plantations, had resulted in the
production of from % to SO per cent.
more sugar than was made previous to
their Introduction, with a correspond
ing decrease of molasses. This inn
provement in the manufacture of SUI
gar, he claimed, would become more
general as its practicability was better
understood, and would curtail the an
nual product of New Orleans molasseS
in like proportion, as sugar-cane syrup
was effectively crystalized by the new
process. The floods have also added to
the shortage from 10 to Is per cent in
Mr. Hedges estimation, and il is these
causes that have stimulated the sorghum
market. These facts have come to the
knowledge of the American Academy
of Science, whose duty, by virtue of au-
thority of the United States, ii is to in
vestigate such subjects. Prof. b. Sill
man is president of the association, and,
with view to encourage the sorghum
industry to supply the deficiency in New
Orleans molasses, he is collecting sta
tistics which will be published for the
Information OF cane-growerS. Mr.
Hedges will forward him thirty-two
samples Of sirups and sugars that nc
cumulated at the annual meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Cane Growers asso-
citation, together with reports and other
information on the subject Of canes grow
ing. Some of the samples are regarded
equal to the best New Orleans sugars
and sirups. In view of the prospect of
a shortage in the southern crop, Mr.
Hedges considers this will be the most
favorable year ever known for growing
sorghum cane, as the demand il already
made reasonably secure. 1t can be
planted now up to May 20, Louisiana
sugar planters who have lost their stand
of sugar cane by high water realize the
fact that sorghum will command good
price next season, and are now seeding
their plantations with it, As an evil
dence of the demand for sorghum seed
from the south, Mr.. Hedges says he has
shipped nearly two thousand pounds to
that section this spring. Three or four
pounds Of seed will plant an acre 81.

decision not to participate in such
congress, and that she would not be
averse to doing So This information

that Mexico begins TO see that if she IN
sists upon her refusal and all the other
republics accept the invitation. which
has never been formally withdrawn. to

by Secretary Blaine. she may be placed
al disadvantages, especially when she
gets into quarrel OYER boundary lines.
Nenuzela, Hayti, Honduras, Guatemala

viii the Mormons quietly submit?"
This oft-made query Is answered by the
Chicago Intsr-Ocean in this way: No
body cares whether they do or not.
Uncle Sam is big enough now to take
hold of the collarof the fellow that kicks
and just everlastingly mop the floor with
him. And the lesson might strike in
better if the old gentleman was called on
TO do this.
1t is all very fine for the editor of the
Inter-Ocean to sit in his arm chair and
talk that way, but Uncle Sam will find
il quite an undertaking to verlastingly
mop the floor" Nth the Mormons. -

As the Register Is nearer the mop and
the floor its opinion ought to be worth
something.

A Dramatic Reconciliation.

President Lincoln is quoted by Charles

long been at feud, and had not met for
many years until Jackson was Presi-

Lincoln, AZ the White House. "that
their first meeting.took place. jackson
was seated at this very table, when the
door yonder swung open and Benton
stalked in and stood silently in the mid
die of the floor. jackson looked up and
recognized him at once. and recollected
at the same time that he had no weapon
to defend himself Equally silent he
got up, walked to the door, locked it
and put the key in his pocket, and went
back to his seat Then he said: Does
this mean war or peace? 1T means
peace said Benton. jackson again
rose. walked to the door, unlocked it,
came back to his seat, and then said:

Jackson was locking and unlocking the

two gentlemen was complete.
