SUGAR GROWING.
The Wisconsin Senators Want an Expert
mental Station in the Badger
State
Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The two Wiscon-
sin senators have had q conference with the
commissioner of agriculture, which may re-
suit in some very important action on the
part of the federal government Of special in
terest to the northwest There was an APP
preparation made at the last session of con-
gross for the purpose of establishing some
experiment stations in various parts
of the country In the interests Of
sugar growing. There have been some
works begun in Louisiana and some in Kan
sas, but in point Of TACT there is much more
reason for experiments in Wisconsin than in
either Of these places, for in Louisiana We
know what eau be done, and in Kansas there
are not half the sugar possibilities that there
are in Wisconsin. Senators SpooneT and
Sawyer called at the department of agn-
culture to ask If an experiment station could
not be established in Wisconsin.
They laid the situation there pretty
thoroughly before fhe commissioner and
he seemed to think pretty fayorably of
it. II is well known here that The depart
ment of agriculture has been for q long time
impressed with the belief that Wisconsin has
great possibilities in the way Of beet sugar,
and it is as well known among Wisconsin
people that the state has great possibilities in
the growth of sorghum. So it seems quiet
likely that the experimental station may be
a fact, and that the possibilities Of the state
both in regard to beets and sorghum
may be thoroughly tested. The work
OF the past two or three years in Germany
aud France has convinced the students Of
this subject that beet sugar can be success
fully raised in this country and probably
more eheaply than cane sugar The cheap
ness Of the beet sugar abroad il wonderful.
II is displacing everything else II is pat
on the London market in fine refined form
at As low rate as 3 cents per pound. The
department Of agriculture has had atheory for
the past year or two, since the subject has been
pretty well discussed here in the light Of ex-
psriments abroad, that Wisconsin and
Miunesota are especially good fields for the
sugar beet IN this country, at least this side
Of the Rocky moantai3s. Il Is not probable,
however. that the experimental station would
be established With q specials view TO this,
be. with the general object OF testing the
possibilities aud practiesbilities o. sugar
growing in any practicable way, including
the cane aud perhaps the beets, too.

THE Villas FAMILY.
Good Yankee Stock, Thrifty and Hard

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Villas family
is probably the best preserved in its family
relations of any in the country. It's MEM
bers know each other wherever they are, and
can tell to dot what their relationships are,
where each man lives, from what stock he
descended, what his possessions are, and all
that sort of thing. There are several genera
tons of the Villas family in this country,
coming from English stock that came over
to this country in the early part of the las
century, Some member of the family hap
pened to have taste for gathering up family
history-a brother of the present postmaster
general-and gave considerable time and
labor to this study. He found that every
person of that name, so far as could be heard
from anywhere, came from
THE ORIGINAL Villas
who came over, as aforesaid, in the early part
of the last century. He published the result
of his researches in a little book for family
use, which his brothers and friends jocularly
call s'the herd book" So that every Villas
in the country knows all about the Villas fam
iy. There are good many very wealthy
men among them, too They are good YAM
kee stock, thrifty, hard-workers, without a
law bone in them and smart. You can
count numbers of millionaires among them.
1t is a little interesting that one of the very
first applicants for Office under Postmaster
Villas is man who
SERVED BY HIS SIDE IN THE WAR,
under very trying circumstances. John
Habhegger is his name, and he wants to be
postmaster at Watertown, Wis.
~ remember John very WELL" said the
postmaster general, as he talked of his appli-
cation for this postoffice. II was in ditch
with him before Vicksburg when he received
shot that almost proved fatal, and that
would have done so in 80 cases out of 100.
1t was curious circumstance. We were in
trenches with earthworks thrown up before
us, you know, with portfolio in front OF
every man through which he could shoot.
The enemy's works were not much farther
than the length of these two rooms from US,
and
THEIR sHARPsHooTERS WERE WATCHING
every opportunity to pick off man, as ours
were, too. Habhegger was standing just in
front of his uorthoe. He usually kept his
eve 10 it, but at this particular moment he
had moved his head little so that his fore
head happened to be just in front of it, when
one of the sharpshooters on the other side
pumped bullet squarely through the port
hole, striking him in the center OF the fore
head 1t entered at that point and came out
at point Just opposite on the back of his
head or course, it seemed that he was shot
through the head and hopelessly wounded
A subsequent examination, however, showed
that the ball, after passing over the top OF
the head under the scalp, came out at point
opposite where 1t entered Yes, remember
John Habhegger very we'll"

REPUBLICAN BOURRoNTsM.

We confess that il Is with no little surprise
that we see the Republican papers so univer
sally condemning the government for pay
ing the usual tribute of respect to ex-Secre-
tary of the Interior THOMPSON that is always
paid upon the death of an individual who
has ouce held the position OF chief of q de-
partment. These organs ought to remember
that patriotism is more than sectionaliSm
with the people of the United States. No
one believes the story set ahoat In regard TO
Mr.. THOMPSON having concocted a plan to
destroy New York city with Greek fire. 1t is
true that Mr.. THOMPSON did cast his lot with
the people of his state in the war Of the Re
bellion and identified himself with the South
ern cause. But the war has been over for
twenty years. To-day the chiettSins and
statesmen Of each of the then hostile sec
tions divide the powers of common govern
ment with the consent, By the votes and with
the warm approval of united people. The
expulsion of revenge from the policy Of the
Republic was in response to the demand of
all the people. It was an act Of
sublimity, and we sre sorry to see
the Republican Bourbous still clinging
to the gospel Of distrust and defamation 1t
seems that they fail to realize the change
that hAs been wrought in public sentiment.
They are always looking backward and never
TO the front Tue restoration Of the Demo
cratic party to power has produced a con-
dition Of national amity. Passion has yielded
to patriotism Reason has won over violence.
Faith has vAnquished doubt and perfect love
has cast out fear. A union in which North
and South are terms Of location aud no; of
antsgonism has passed into new era Of
fraternity aud reform aud its most devoted
friends are not now merely those who fought

CHICAGO, March 2S.-There was a some

increase of general business activity to-day
at the banks and in the city. The prevailing
feeling, however, is one of hesitation and
uncertainty, and, until this war question is
settled one way or another, such a feeling
will be liable to govern both decisions and

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Ex-Mayor Black
of Milwaukee is quoted as saying before he
left here that he and tine party of gentlemen
who came with him did not come to Wash
ington in search of offices. "We don't want
any," he said, 1--WE haven't asked for any;
we are here just to see what Washington looks
like, to see how the machine is starting off
under Democratic rule, and to get little
change of air and a rest from business. You
may say to the people of Milwaukee, if they
are anxious to know about our visit, that it is
not with any design of asking for anything"
Referring to their call upon the president,
Mr.. Black said: "We called at the White
house and found the president very pleas
ant gentleman. / had met him once or
twice before. think he is going to give US
a very satisfactory administration. He evil
IDENTITY knows what he wants to do and does
not propose to permit anybody to dissuade
him from doing his duty
"And you have not arranged any slate
then for the distribution of the offices for
Wisconsin in general, and Milwaukee in
Particular
"Oh dear no. To tell you the truth am
rather of the opinion that there will be very
lew Offices distributed before their terms ex
pire, and as most of the Milwaukee offices
have yet considerable time to run there is
no occasion for making up states. The post
office there has couple of years yet and
the collector Of customs nearly four years.
Of course don't speak advisedly. There
is, l think, general feeling that except
where there is special cause for removal
there will be few, if any, changes. If there
is any slate or any general arrangement for
changes in Milwaukee l don't know it,
There is an impression that there will be
few, if any, changes before the expiration
of the terms of the present officers. If there
is any arrangement for any change don't
know of it. l think the present postmaster
has given very general satisfaction.

Has THE NIGH MAZE AGIIN.

We rather suspect that the dyspeptic symp-
toms exhibited by our Third street neighbor
on yesterday in treating of municipal affairs,
indicates that it has been suffering again
from municipal nightmare. Having eX-
hausted Itself in a general and wholesale de-
nunciation of the city and its government,
it proposes to return and go over the same
ground, this time taking its subjects more
in detail. While our Republican contempor-
airy deals in innuendo rather than the frank
manner which ought to be its custom, still it
is plain enough that the covert attack was
made against Mr.. ROBERT SMITH and his as
sociates in business. The reason for the as
sault is so apparent that tits needless to dis
cuss it here. Having failed to dictate a
policy for the Republicans of the city, the
Pioneer Press now seeks to take hand in
Democratic politics. The failure in the latter
will be more signal than in the former. The
Democrats of st. Paul are capable of manag-
ing their own political affairs without outside
assistance, and it matters not whom they
select for standard-bearer in the COM
ing municipal contest, he will be a
gentleman of capacity and char
acter, and will be elected. While
Mr.. SMITH is gentleman possessing
all the qualifications for tirst-class mayor
a gentleman of thorough business methods,
high character, clean, pure record, and he
and his business associates can defy the
Pioneer Press or anybody else to make any
revelations Of crookedness darkly limited at
in the Third street journal, yet Mr.. SMITH
has time and again declined to have his
name canvassed in connection with the may
orally and there is no reason why he or they
should be singled out by that paper as the
special object upon whom its walls Of bilious
wrath shall be poured. A few more such
brutal assaults may induce Mr.. SMITH to re-
consider his determination and become a
candidate, if for no other purpose than to
give the people of st. Paul an opportunity to
rebuke the vicious policy of assailing the rep
utations of honorable gentlemen for political
purposes.
