Louisiana planters are directing their
attention to a new process for extract
ing sugar invented by Konrad Trobach
Of Berlin. 1t Is purely chemical, diff
fering materially from the mechanical
process now used, and ifit shall prove
to be all it is claimed to be, will effect
a revolution in sugar-making. and
cheaper the article still more. Tro-
bach's process dfspenses with crushing
and pressing altogether; the cane is cut
into slices by means of machinery, and
the water extracted from it by alcohol
vapor, which having an affinity for the
water, absorbs it, but leaves the sacch-
arine in the desiccated cane. This is
then treated with liquid alcohol, which
extracts the sugar, and afterwards the
sugar is extracted from the alcohol, or
the alcohol from the sugar by filtering
through lime and chalk. One great
obstacle to the cheap manufacture of
Louisiana sugar is the difficulty of ex-
tracing all or nearly all the sacchs riae
from the cane; considerable propor-
ton is lost in the bagasse, or refuse
which is thrown away or burned. If
this waste could be saved, it would
cheaper the process one cent pound.
The present sugar-mAking machin-
cry in Louisiana would be an impedi-
ment to the introduction of the Tro-
bach method. 1t is not adapted to the
new process, and would have to be
thrown away-a sacrifice which the
Louisiana planter could III afford, as
their machinery is very costly.-Re-

Another Detection.

lone by one the roses fall.n The
Republicans are beginning to find out
that they have not captured the "Irish
vote" SO much as they thought they
had. The latest disagreeable surprise
given them occurred last Saturday in
Albany, New York, in the change of
the Catholic Telegraph and of the Rev.
Father Ludden, Vicar General. from
Blaine to Cleveland. The Telegraph
hts been Blaine organ since the
nomination of Cleveland owing to the
charges with reference to the Freedom
of Worship bill and the Catholic pro-
tectory appropriation. The matter has
been under investigation by Catholic
clergymen and laymen, and the re-
suits OF their labors convinced them
that the charges were false, and that
the Governor had acted honorably in
the one case and had nothing to do
with the other. The Independent
Cleveland Club paraded that night, and
the residence of the Vicar-General was
illuminated in gorgeous style. He had
been Blaine supporter. prior to las:
night. The Telegraph, of which the
Vicar-General is the principal editor.
said, editorially. last Saturday: "We
believe that Mr.. Cleveland is an ex.
cellent chief executive; that he has
been industrious, painstaking and con-
scientious in the discharge of the duties
of his high office, and, since he became
a resident of the Executive Mansion
his bearing and character demanded
recognition from all. He became Gov
ernor of the State of New York two
years ago by a majority of 2OO.0 900 of
it's citizens, aud to-day he stands forth
as the andidate for the Presidency of
the Republic, as a representative of q
party which has always been justly
regarded as the friend of the foreign
born and stranger. who sought the
freedom on this side that were denied
them at home. There is no reason
why he should not be supported by
every freeman, from end to end of the
Union, who believes in the political
doctrine of Tilden, Herman, q Kel-
ly, a Bayard and Thurman"

that Blaine's Anglo -Americanism viii have
no longer n chance to display itself In the |
most important position in the presidents
cabinet. Eis disgraceful conduct in Boy
toms case stamps him rs q man who has no
conception Of what is due to the dignity Of
American citizenship. 1t would have been
more to the credit Of the United States gov
ernmsnt If Blaine had resigned before the
arrest and imprisonment, without trial, Of
American citizens residing in Ireland.
We understand the ex-secretary has still
hopes Of reaching the object of his life's am
bition-yiz.: the presidency. We feel as cer-
tain as we can be of any future event that
James G. Blaine Of Maine will never sit in
the presidential chair. He is not the first
whose funkeyism to England has killed
presidential aspirations. Chas. Francis Ad-
ans is one example, and King, who In the
early part of this century was minister to
England, is another.
There is rumor to the effect that the
president intends offering the mission TO
England to the ex secretary. No doubt the
position would be an acceptable one to him,
as it would afford him chance to display his
devoted loyalty to Queen Victoria. But
luckily for the honor of his country, there is
no chance of Blaine's nomination being con-
firmed If sent to the senate. He had chance
of making name for himself by defending
the rights of American citizens, which had
been trampled upon by the English govern
ment, but the funkeyism Of the man pre-
vented him from grasping the golded oppor-
| tunity. He now returns into private life
with the consciousness that he has won the
good will of the English government at a
price that he will regret having paid.
After reading the above-written at
a time when Mr.. Ford could be govern
ed only by his feelings in behalf of his
oppressed countrymen-is there any
one who can without disgust and sor-
row follow his fulsome pleadings for
that same "flunkey" to-day? What
has induced the change in Mr.. Ford?
Not British gold" certainly, but the
next thing to it: the enbacks of the
committee having IN charge the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Blaine. The Irish Demo
crat who Can so far forget himself as to
vote for a man Of such ''devoted loyal
ty to Queen Victoria" deserves incar-
ceration in a British dungeon-or q
lunatic asylum-the remainder of his
life. But we opine room ten by ten
would hold them all.

The Dread Disease.

The season is SO late in this country
that there is no danger of any serious
visitation of cholera this year; but the
accounts from southern europe are ap-
palling. Early i'm June last, when the
pestilence first made its appearance in
Toulon and Marseilles it was supposed
that it would follow the lines of usual
travel, and would soon be heard of In
the great cities of Europe, to which it
would be carried by railways and
steamships. But this puzzling pestil-
ence put human sagacity at naugnt by
passing into the thlnly-settled regions
ofsouthern Europe. The italian gov
ernmept established the most rigid
ouarantines aud cordans to shut out
and stamp out the cholera, but the ter
rible desolator defied all human efforts,
and moved south over the Alps and
the Pyrenees without spreading to the
north or east. In all human prOba bill
ty, France, Germany, and Great Brit
ian will be visited next summer, nor
can the United States expect to escape;
but it may take two seasons to visit ali
parts of this great country. If ~ fatal

ly the chief city of Americs is In better
situation to resist an invasion of the
cholera than at any previous period.
1T has an efficient health board, and
the mortality. which was once high, is
being steadily reduced. Were New
York's sewer system what it ought to
be, it would be the healthiest city in
the world. One caution about cholera
would be well to keep in mind. Rem
eelies are of no avail. Physicians, after
the preliminary stages are past, know
no more hOw.to treat it tran when il
first appeared. From fifty to sixty per
cent. of those attacked are sure to die.
OF course the deaths are most numer-
ous when the pestilence is at it height.
The only real safety is in flight. In
epite of all that has been written, mere
dirt does not foster disease. nor is clean
illness any protection against it.-DcDa-

Ifyou do, we can give you no better adj
vice than to call on A. X. Sutton, proprietor
of the Arcadia Valley Nursery. He has Ap-
pies, Pears, Peaches, herries, Plums. Straw
berry Plants, etc., OF every variety. Most
of the fine fruit grown here in this season is
from trees taken from his Nursery, which Is
rapidly acquiring an excellent reputation.
The trees grown In this climate are certainly
better suited to this section than those Inn
ported from q distance, and our people ap-
pear to have at length become aware OF the
fact. We can commend Mr.. s. unqualified
ly to every reader of this paper. and his word
can be depended upon ut all times. Orders

will receive prompt attention.

The prope sed amendment to the
State constitution authorizing county
c0urts to levysa special tax mot to ex-
ceed Is cents" on the 500, for road and
bridges and authorizing the city OF st.
LOUIS 20 levy similar tax for street
purposes, is provoking some unfavora-
BILE comments in the Interior. The pro-
position is to be submitted to the peO-1
pie at the approaching election.
It will be observed that the proposed
amendment does not itself levy an adj
ditinnal tax OF Is cents on the 500; it
only authorizes county courts and the
city of st. Louis, at their discretion, to
levy q tax not to exceed that limit.
Where a larger road and bridge fund is
needed the county court may levy
tax of s, 10 or IL cents; it may be under
Is cents, but it cannot be above it. In
those counties where the people are sat
isfied with such roads and bridges as
they already have, and are oppose'i to
additional tax, the court would not be
called upon to levy it, but in other
counties where the spirit of road inn
provement is active and the people are
not aveIse to special tax to improve
their highways, the county court woulu
reflect the public sentiment by levying
il.
But there Is an opinion prevailing In
some parts of the State that il the
amendment be adopted the county
courts will levy q tax whether the peo-
pie want it or not, aud it will become
q permanent addition to their tax bur-
den without securing any material inn
provem6nt of the roads. But this can
come about only through ineficiency
In the country administration. A road
tax of ten cents on the 500 in a county
having $3, ,OOO, 600 valuation would yieli
a special revenue of $1,000 year; in a
county having a valuation of S., ,O00, 900
it would yield $4,000 year, and SO on.
Thes sums added to the road fund al
ready authorized by law would, fju-
dicially expended, in a few years sup
ply county with good bridges and
gradually improve the roads. They
would not be sufficient to construct
rock or gravel roads except by very
slow degrees, but they would enablo
the county court to prepare for Dravel-
ing or macadamizing by cutting down
hills and reducing the grades. and this
| is consideration which entities it to
favor in all those improved counties
| which are looking forward to a system
of good highways-Repnblican.
