SORGHUM SUGAR.

The manufacture of sorghum sugar
as paying business is no longer an
undecided question. Recent state
ments from reliable sources in respect
20 the success attained at Champaign
H., last season give assurance that
the making of sorghum sugar may be
made a profitable business. Last year,
it is said, the season was unfavorable,
to the perfective growth of the cane;
this year the promise is much better.
But last year, with poorly matured
cane, the works at Champaign turned
out thirty barrels of sorghum sugar
per day, which sold readily in the
market at S15 cents per pound. An
important discovery has been made by
the Professor of Chemistry at the State
University at Champaign, dispensing
entirely with the use of chemicals,
which had heretofore been regarded
as necessary to the manufacture of
good sugar. The process now en-
ployed is given in full in the Christian
Union of Aug Z.
The result at Champaign was so
favorable last year that it has been
resolved to double the capacity of the
works this season so as to use not less
than 1000 acres of corn product this
season. 1t is believed that at the pre-
sent prices of sugar and the seed of
the cane from 25 to 80 per cent can be
realized on the investment. The two
best known varieties for the production
of sugar are the amber and the orange
The Christian Union remarks: GA
valuable feature of the sorghum in
dustry is that the cane can be brought
to perfection in Canada and Minnesota
as well as in lower latitudes. The su.
gar OF Ontario, Canada, is not inferior
in quality to that produced at Cham
paign, Ill. 1t is stated by those who
have given attention to the subject
that if sorghum sugar proves a success
as it now seems probable, it will keep
in the country from sixty to eighty
millions of dollars, which is now an.
nually paid for imported sugars and
syrups.

NEXT COUNTY FAIR.

AS the hurrying season of farmers
will soon be mainly over, it is pre-
sumed the next county fair will re-
eeive attention by those who intend to
contribute to its exhibition. AT the
last annual meeting of the Agricultural
Society a good degree of interest was
manifested to make the fair this year
creditable to the county, at least equal
to that Of any former year, and, if pos
sible, much superior. There is the
material in the county to accomplish
this, if it is only brought out.

ADULTERATED MEDICAL BIT
TIERS.

The United States Internal Revenue
department is engaged in a war on the
various kinds of bltters which are sold
foTlmedicinal purposes. The amount Of
distilled liquors which is used in the
preparation of these medicines is enor-
nous, and escapes the payment Of re-
venue taxes. But what is now most
important in this matter is the discov-
cry that some of the manufacturers of
popular medicines put up in bottles in
liquid form contain positively poison
Gus substances, such as strychinine,
Indian hemp and other deleterious in
gradients. These statements coming
from the government offices, where
these medicines are analysed, can be
relied upon. 1t is probable that list
of the medical bitters, containing poi
sonous substances, which have hereto
fore been most popular, will be fur
nished to the public by the Revenue
Department.

MATTERS AT LAKE BLUFF.

LA az AhN al Lam ~ BLUFF.
The camp-meeting at Lake Bluff on
the lake shore south of here, has been
brought to close, and will be followed
by other meetings and lectures in COM
ing weeks. The camp-meeting seems
to have had some discordant elements:
that class of christians known as per-
wholly sanctifed and sin
less-appear to have gotten the control
OF the devotional meetings at the out
set and held the fort till near the last.
This is phase of christian life, in res
pect to which the good Methodist people
have not been, and are not now at
agreement; it is understood the major
lty do not accept the doctrine of per-
feet sancti6cation in this life. An in
cldent occurred on Thursday last,
which put the entire sanctiication
doctrine to the test. Two clergymen
OF the sinless order-Rev. McClain and
Rev. Boyd-while enjoying themselves
on the piazza with other brethren, got
into a controversy about the manner
OF presenting the subject of holiness.
The discussion grew hot and fiery,
lasting half an hour Among other
offensive remarks, McClain said to
Boyd, that if Christ should come to
Lake Bluff, he would take whip and
scourge him out of the Tabernacle.
The friends who were by interfered,
and reminded the preacher of sinless
life, that he had sinned and ought to
confess. McClain saw..the point was
well taken. went to the Tabernacle and
confessed himself a great sinner.

SENTIMENT OF THE PRESS OF
WISCONSIN, ON CANDIDATES
FOR THE PRESIDENCY: ALSO
n1r nTrr 1zYr rr-.r,--

4 ~.
The Madison State Journal has been
sounding the newspapers of Wisconsin
as to their preferences for the Presi-
Dental candidate in 1884; also for
their sentiments on the subject of tar
lift and license. A summary of the an
swers received by the Journal is Civ
en- below. In respect to Presidential
preferences it will be noticed that Ex-
Governor Fairchild secures the prefer
ence for the Presidency by a large ma
jority. This is all very proper; Gen.
Fairchild is highly esteemed citizen
OF the state; has held positions Of pub
lie distinction and trust, and is deserv-
eddy popular with the people. It is
therefore natural that the press should
bring him before the public; it is a
compliment due him. Should it so
come to pass that he receives the nomi-
nation next year, no man could better
secure the Republican vote of this
state.
The sentiments of tho prooc of the
state, as far as ascertained ON the ques-
ton of tariff and liquor license, will be
found interesting.
To the two hundred circulars sent
out to the responsible editors of the
Wisconsin press there have been re-
'ceived 1855 answers up to this date.

The government postal telegraph,
which is now receiving so much public
attention, is not recent idea; more
than dozen years ago Hon. G. G.
Washburn, member of Congress from
this State, introduced a bill in the
House Of Representatives, providing
for a postal telegraph system in the
United States, which bill he supported
in an argumentative speech. Had that
measure then prevailed, it would have
prevented the growing up of an i'm
mense monopoly, obviated obstruction
to business by operators strikes, and
at the same time afforded the people
cheaper communications over the lines.
Nor is the postal system, as some may
suppose, an untried experiment. 1t was,
adopted and put in operation in Eng
land in 1870, the government having
purchased the then existing lines. It
has been pronounced success in Eng
land, the people having been furnished
with cheaper communications over the
Lines since under government control.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The Republican press stands on the
tariff question as follows:
Protection straight.
For revenue
Low tariff until out of debt, and then free trade
reformed protective tariff....... .......,.....
Inc present
The independent journals pronounce
themselves as follows:
Protection straight. 10
Revenue tariff, with incidental projections. 2
revenue only
Low protective tariff
Gradual reduction, with ultimate free trade. =. 2
The democrats are quite generally ia
favor of apurely revenue tariff. Eigh-
teen votes were cast for that side; two
for protection and one each for abso-
Lutte free trade and tariff reform.
THE LICENSE QUESTION.
| The unanimity with which high IL
Quor license is decided for is quite re-
markable.
Seventy-nine republican papers are
in favor of this side of the question
seven favor prohibition. and two no Ii
cense whatever.
Of the independent newspapers
twenty-one are for high license, and
one each for prohibition, no license,
high liquor, low BEER
The prohibitionist papers of course
will hear of nothing short of prohibit
ton. They express themselves against
any license system whatever.
| The democratic papers, SO far as
they voted on the question, stand
Eight for high license, three for the
present law, three for low license, and
one for free trade in liquor.

WAT PROTECTION DOES.
From The Nashriue American DEN,

Encouragement to home industry is
a practical fact and the inspiring and
guiding element in the highest in
dustrial civilization of almost every
nation. 1t does not establish monono-
ly, but breaks down foreign monopoly
by encouraging home competition.
1t does not aim to build up one indus
try at the expense of another, but to
benefit all by just recognition of the
independence of all industries. 1T
helps domestic commerce and deyel-
opes our own reS0urces-builds a city
at Birmingham, village at Admission,
altown atSewanee, metropolis at the
base of Lookout Mountain, and
larger home market for the products
Of the field at better prices in all the
country circumjacent to these centers
of industry. 1T defends the weak
against the strong, cares for those of
our own household, aims to advance
the welfare of the working people by
opening varied employments at fair
wages. We cannot have the best
farming until we have the best manu-
featuring in varied forms and materi-
ais near the farm, each an indispensable
help to the growth of the other.
Inasmuch as the plague is known to
be approaching the United States,
every family and every community OBJ
viously ought to prepare itself to meet
it. 1t is of the utmost importance to
cleanse outhouses and back yards, to
dispose of every scrap of decayed
vegetable and animal matter, to pour
sunlight and air into damp, dark eel.

The past year has been generally un-
favorable to fruit growing, especially
peaches, throughout the entire country
with occasional exceptions. The apple
crop also is reported below the average
of former years. In Kenosha county
the reports from various neighbor-
hoods pronounce the apple crop a
failure. This is much to be regretted.
Fruit is not only a luxury for every
family, but conducive to health; it is
often far better than medicine. The
failure of the apple crop may, there
fore, be noted as a general misfortune.

FARMING ECONOMY.

We sometimes thought that If the
universal advice given to the young
men Of the Atlantic States to go
West and turn farmers, was properly
examined By q dIsinterested observer,
il would turn out to be really advice to
the young men ofthe seaboard States to
come down to the most primitive fOrm
of modern civilization to engage in
farming on the frontier in the simplest
and rudest style for the sake of economy
in order to get a fair start in the world.
It has also seemed to US that if any
young man with q family to support
were willing to live in the same style
here and make economy and thrifty
management his entire study as q
farmer by coming down to first princi-
pies. doing his own work, and spending
as little money as possible for hired Ia
Dor, machinery and living, he could In
the course OF fve years make out much
better on a small farm in the Middle
than in the West. But the truth Is,
that the same course of reasoning will
now apply to such States as Ohio, In.
diana and Illinois, as compared with
the new West beyond the frontiers OF
Iowa.
