himself either singularly ignorant or singu-
larry forgetful. He would have the college
student learn German and French a. means
Of becoming acquainted with German and

man is first cousin 10 Greek, and French tho

he should fail TO observe that there can be no
thorough knowledge Of the one In
either case without . knowledge OF the
other. Besides, an important result OF
knowing German and French Ii the
ability to study scientific works published
in those languages and not translated into
English. Mr.. ADAMS must surely be aware
that scientific nomenclature Is largely made
up OF Greek and Latin compounds, which
are nearly the same in all modern languages,
and that . man who knows Greek nnd Latin
can avail himself, with b,E . smattering
Of German and French, OF the labOrs OF
German and French writer's on natural sci
ence. As to conversation in German and
French, II Is notorious that no mere study
Of books will make It easy or oven possible
Altogether Mr.. ADAMS has furnished an IL
lustration, In his address, OF the maxim that
whose Judges another, thereby judges also
himself. By his condemnation OF Greek and
Latin he exhibits rather his own incapacity
OF appreciation than their want Of merit; and
when he questions the sincerity OF the nearly
unanimous approval Of ancient authors by
educated men, no suggests that he himself
may not be perfectly sincere.

Don't Go to Long Branch by Dan.
gerOus Railroad.

Between South Amboy and Long Branch
there Is only ono railroad. and on this rail-
road there are number OF bridges, which
appear to be out Of order and insecure.
Within tho last few days, various engineers
have been sent to examine these bridges, and
they report that they are unsafe, so that they
cannot DO passed by trains. except at q very
low rate OF speed, without danger 10 the lives
Of the passengers. Nevertheless, the trains
OF tho Now Jersey Central arc said to DO run
there at the rate OF thirty or forty miles On
hour. while the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany slows up Its trains over these danger
Gus places.
There Is a controversy between those two
companies regarding the right to use this
railroad; but there should be no contrO-
versy anywhere as to the peril Of running
railroad trains swiftly over unsafe bridges.
Until these bridges arc put In good order.
all people who care for their lives will alb
stain from going to Long Branch by that
railroad.

Wise Democrats-Unhappy RepubM.

The Hepukhnans are not satisfied with tho
course At the Democrats on the tariff. They
have bsen trying ever since Congress ad-
journet to get them into quarrel on this
subtectibut asfar without success.
The Dcnfesnts have held several State
Conventions recently, and have adopted res
olutions about the tariff with great unanimi-
ty. The Republicans were looking for bitter
conflicts In these Conventions, and they are
disappointed and displeased ut the result
They insist that the Democrats ought to have
inserted In their platforms plank In favor
OF absolute and impossible froe trade.
The failure Of the Democrats to crafty
their opponents in this matter. or to get into
quarrel for their benefit, has made the Rc-
publicans unhappy. But 1t can't be helped

but with the improved processes Of extrao-
ton now adopted In Germany. ten pounds Of
the small white beats grown ON the east side
OF the Rhine will yield. on the average, one
pound Of sugar besides . certain percentage
Of molasses. Some German factories mako
an even better exhibit, the moan product be-
Ing eleven pounds Of sugar and three and .
half pounds Of molassas from one hundred
pounds Of beet roots. The sum paid for tho
beets was twenty -four and half cents, and
tho whole cost Of manufacturing the sugar
Including interest on the plant was nineteen
cents In other words, fair quality Of raw
beet sugar can be made In Germany for
aboutfour cents pound. and II we deduct
the value Of the molasses the cost will be
reduced to three and half cents. Indeed,
the cost Ia made still less because after the
saccharine matter has been extracted tho
reslduum or pulp Of tho beet Is sold for fOd-
der and for manure
One or two other questions will suggest
themselves, viz, how much OF tho row ma
terial can the German farmer raise to the
acre, and what does the German consumer
pay for the manufactured article According
to Mr.. RUaaLRs, the average yield per acre OF
beet roots In Germany is from IL to 20 tons.
The price paid by the manufacturers Ia, we
are told from - to % per ton; but the cost OF
shipment to the factory rs we'll as the Gov
eminent tax falls on the producer. As re-
CARDS the price exacted OF the consumer. 1t is
to be noted that brown sugars are very little
used In Germany. For tho white crust or loaf
sugar. obtained by refining the raw product,
you pay ten cents pound IL you buy hun
dred-pound package and twelve cents .
pound for small quantities. OF course the
farmer would get moro for his beets, and the
consumer would pay less for the manufac-
tured article, II 1t were practicable to abolish
the sugar tax, which happens just now. how
ever, to form one Of the chief fiscal props Of
the German empire.

The Scott Liquor Tax In Ohio.

Our impression that the SCOTT liquor law
In Ohio would BIO adjudged to be constitu-
tiOnal has been verified by the decision OF
tho Supreme Court OF that State.
The Constitution Of Ohio forblds any H.
cense Of the liquor traffic. The POND law
was held to be an infringement OF this pro-
hibition, because 1t required bond from
liquor dealers. The SCOTT law, however,
simply imposes tax, and this Is not forbid
den by the Constitution. From careful ex-
animation OF the text Of the statute at the
time OF Its enactment We were convinced
that 1t did not provide for any license within
the meaning Of that term as defined by tho
best legal authorities, and this Is the conclu-
sion reached by majority Of the Judges Of
the Supreme Court.
So far, however, rs the SCOTT law might be
regarded rs applicable to leases made before
Its passage, 1t must DO deemed Intellectual. A
freehold leased to be employed rs q place for
selling liquor cannot be subjected to assess
ment under tho statute whore the lease was
executed prior to It's enactment by the Leg
islature 1t applies only to subsequent leases.
Such Is the distinction made by the Supreme
Court Of Ohio, and in making it the Judges
have observed what is now familiar doc
trine In American constitutional law. that
part Of a statute may be pronounced null and
void without destroying the validity Of the
remainder.
It is too soon to determine the probable
effect Of this important decision upon the
present political campaign in Ohio. We OBJ
serve that the liquor question continues to
be Of paramount interest In Iowa politics,
and that the Republicans OF that State have
come out squarely In favor Of prohibition. In
Minnesota, also, the Republican State Con-
vention adopted resolution recommending
that q prohibitory amendment to the Consti-
tuition should be submitted to the people.
The liquor traffic probably does as much
harm In ono part Of the country as in an
othor, yet the people OF the West surpass all
others just now In tho earnestnoss Of their
sforts to restrain or regulate 1t.

Beet Root Sugar in Germany.

One OF the useful acts performed by the
Reichstag before Its adjournment was tho
appointment Of committee to inquire into
tho manufacture OF sugar from beet roots.
The industry which is to be mado tho object
OF special study hns already attained enor-
nous proportions in the German empire, and
contributes large part of the internal
revenue levied for imperial purposes. Inas-
much as that part OF our own country which
lies north OF the Potomac and the Ohio and
south Of tho great lakes presents conditions
OF soil and climate similar to those which In
Europe are found specially favorable to beet
culture, tho remarkable progress which Of
late years this industry has made In Ger
many may well attract the attention Of
American farmers. Let us 500 what German
agriculturists can earn by raising beets,
and at what price the manufacturers can
afford to sell beet sugar. To this end we
avail ourselves Of official statistics collected
and published by Mr.. HENRY RUGaLEs In
his Germany Seen Without Spectacles."
On this side Of tho Atlantic we arc accus-
toned to associate beet root sugar with
France; but tho facts are that the saccharine
property Of tho sugar beet was first discov-
Is now the largest producer OF the staple. It
is true, however, that the attempts Of Ger
man manufacturers to make beet sugar on q
large scale were for q long time attended
with Indifferent success, and that extensive
md profitable sugar making scarcely dates
back further than the third decade OF this
century In tho country eastward OF tho
Rhine. In 1886, although there were l26
factories In operation, thoy produced In the
aggregate only 9,ll2OOO pounds OF row sugar
from $4,000 tons OF beets.
To measure tho expansion OF this indus
try, which has taken place In less than half
century, we mood only compare with the
figures just quoted tho returns for 1879, the
Inst yoar for which official statistics are at
tainable. At that time tho number Of beet
sugar factories In the German empire was $40,
and their average capacity was far greater
than was that OF the earlier mills, for the
quantity Of sugar manufactured reached
$50, $50, 900 pounds. France. the next largest
manufacturer, produced In tho same year
$50, 800, 900 pounds; Austria Hungary, $780,
900 pounds; tho Russian empire. 457, 25s, 900
pounds; Belgium. Holland, and all other
European countries, 2l0,000,OOO. Looking at
the proportion OF the whole amount OF beet
sugar made upon the continent OF Europe
to tho population, we find that 1t would give
about ton pounds OF sugar year to each In
habitant Tho revenue derived by tho Ger
man empire from this staple--the tax Is col
lected OH every pound Of boots aftor 1t is
brought to the mill. and boforo 1t goes into

Serious Charges Against the World
Newspaper.

Tho editor Of the Globe. the newspaper Of
the colored people published In this city, Is
Mr.. T. THOMAS FORTUNE. He Is q gentleman
and q scholar OF unusual ability and charac-
tor, and we are sure that no would not will
inRly bring an unfounded accusation. The
Globe ayers that the World OF Sunday last
published a fictitious interview with Mr..
FORTUNE, In which 1t "coined for him senti-
ments and language Of which he could not,
II no would, be guilty." and that afterward,
on appealing to the management Of the World
for correction or explanation Of this coun-
terfeit interview, 1t was refused.
Here are two accusations OF the gravest
character that can be brought against pub
lie journal. To print an interview which
never occurred, and to attribute to the gen.
tleman thus falsely presented, sentiments
and language OF which he could not II he
would, be guilty" Is o wrong whose black
ness cannot we'll be exaggerated; and then to
refuse to publish correction or an explana-
ton when the victim Of this wrong asks for
1t, constitutes another professional misdeed
that is almost equally scandalous.
We are confident that there must be some
misunderstanding or error In this affair. We
are not willing to think that Mr.. PULITZER,
tho editor OF the World, would willingly do
such an injury to any gentleman; or, II
the injury should be done without his knowl-
edge, we cannot think he would refuse to
render justice tp the sufferer by printing q
suitable correction and acknowledgment.
We trust that 1t will turn out that Mr.. PU-
LITTER has been imposed upon by the writer
who furnished the alleged interview, and
that Mr.. FORTUNE has had justice denied
him. not by the editor OF the World. but by
some injudicious and unprincipled person
who pretended to represent him.
Interviews are useful and convenient
things convenicnt for public man who Is
willing to express his opinions without for~
mality. and useful for the journal which Is
thus enabled to publish those opinions In a
vivacious and readable manner. But there
Is only one safe rule concerning interviews.
and this Is the rule which Is constantly OBJ
served by THE SUN. No interview should
ever DO published without submitting the
proofs OF it beforehand to the party con-
cerned; or IL, for any reason. this is imprac-
ticablc, the whole interview should be care
fully read over to him before it goes to the
printers, SO that any corrections or altera-
tions which no may desire may carefully be
made,
