To the Editor Of the st. Croir Aris."

To the Editor Of the "St. Croir Acis."
Sir.
Your issue of the 18th inst. contains
some Articles which, in the present state
Of affairs, are Of no little interest. With
regard to MIR. Frederiksen's visit to this
aud to other West India stands in connec-
tion with the further cultivation of the
ArE otta Tree for its valuable dye, it is
hardly to be expected that the general
cultivation of this tree in ST. Croix would
greatly benefit us, for with the limited
demand for the dye, production
would soon be effected. Still the ArnOtta,
tmore properly, / believe, ArnOtto) may
be q slight help, and its proposed cultiva-
ton on the State TreaSury's Estates is a
step in the right direction.
The Arnotto is cultivated in Mysore and
the Northern parts of India, but the dye
of the Indian variety is inferior to that of
the West Indian and South American
plant.
In 1853 the annual import into the
United Kingdom was about 5000, 600 lbs.
and the value in London was about a shil-
ling a pound. Since then the imports
have increased and the value declined.
The article as to the prospect of the ex-
istence of the present low prices is care
fully and laboriously thought out and
written. There is 10 doubt that the oun
tries of Europe are, at present, all selling
beet sugar at less than cost price, and
that therefore prices must inevitably re-
cover after a while, but the question is,
will the permanent recovery be d price
which will enable the st. Croix Planters
to maintain their cultivation. The Essay
of Mr.. e. A. Hagemann appears TO afford
some answer to this question, but unfor-
tunately not of d hopeful nature. He
tells us that the soil of st. Croix produces
from Is to 25 tons of cane per acre, and
that the proportion Of sugar made from
the same amounts to 5 per cent, while
the soil of Denmark produces 10 tons
OF beet root per acre, yielding s per cent
of sugar.
My experience of the soil of St. Croix is
that while old ratoons give 10 tons of cane
per acre, the very best plants yield less
than 80 tons, and that in the best years,
the average production of cane per acre is
not quite IS tons.
Mr.. Hagemann is right in saying our
production of sugar is 8 olo, it certainly
does got exceed this amount.
l think Mr.. Hagemann's figures as to
beet root rather low. At any rate the
rev beet root Factory in England calcu-
lates, | / believe, on a minimum of Is tons
tons OF beet to the acre, and hopes for an
extraction of 10 Q 10 of sugar.
In Germany the extraction now reaches
nearly IL DO.
Mr.. Hagemann condemns Colonial pro-
duction of sugar, both on the agricultural
and manufacturing side, as wastetul. l
believe that some years ago, when ne was

Mr.. w. 81. H. CURTIS, well known
in the northern part of the state, writes
thus to the Troy Chief concerning Ok
lahoma, with which country he is
thoroughly familiar:
1 never will entice any one to 20 to a
place that is so very uninhabitable as
that country (Oklahoma) until loose
all feeling for mankind, and then 1
should hesitate whether to say Ego to
hell, or Oklahoma"
If that country was thrown open for
settlement, it would be. flooded by
thousands of poor people, who could
better themselves by dying, and before
twelve months a cry would be heard
going up from the half clothed ahd
starving victims, calling for food and
raiment from the friends they had left
behind. The country would have to
undergo climatic change before it
could be farmed even if the soil was
good, which it Is not las the rains are 30
irregular. These lines are not paid for;
they may not please Oklahoma BOOM
ers, but neither are they written to the
interest of cattle men. care not for
either class, but write in the interest of
what believe to be truth.

was announced declaring John J. In
gals elected U. 8. Senator, she smiled
very pleasantly all over her face.
About this time there was a little DEM
onstration Of gladness by everybody,
and her face flushed, her eyes moisten-
ed and she seemed too full Of gratitude
to utter word audibly. That was all
she said on 80 important an occasion.
Yesterday afternoon the House went
into committee ofthe whole, and while
considering House bill number con-
corning teachers and studies in the
common schools, Capt. Stewart of Al
len county, in a very neat little speech
left no doubt in the minds of anyone on
which side of that kind of education he
was to be found.
Your neighbor, Mr.. Slavens, spread
himself on the same in reply to Mr..
Overmyer the ''cyclonic member of
Shawnee"
Please remember me to those other
Hoosiers down there. How are they
all: There are Allison. Vannuys and
Evans, besides the two brave boys that
stand on the walks of Zion and cry
aloud to poor perishing humanity as
they go surging to and fro. Those Car
lyle Hoosiers are not. mean men none
of them, and where will you find a
purer type of genuine Christianity than
that exhibited in the every day walk
of our father E. X. Lynn. Some of
the others are pillars in the church I
understand.
Please excuse me; did not intend to
drift into regular old-fashioned fami-
ly chat, for I hope sometime to have
the privilege of spending a few days
with the many friends of Allen county.

CULLED FROM THE CAPITOL.
TOPEKA, Jan. %, 1885.


Ed. Register:
You no doubt will be surprised to
learn that I am writist and to con-
vince you of the fact am writing you
a political article which you will please
read and appreciate.
Well, the first good news have to
tell you is that we have a governor. I
mean Kansas, big Kansas, broad, loyal
Kansas, has an executive; a real live,
brave, honest man, with far more pa
triotism than egotism; a man that
doesn't want to do wrong, and is not
afraid to do light at any and at all
times.
Next we have an intelligent, indus
trious, republican Legislature, and
they all seem. ready and willing to
serve their constituents in supporting
good, wholesome laws and they are
going to stand square by the amend
ment, and don't you forget it. AS an
instance of their sound judgment read
Noble Prentice's letter in the Champi-
on, on the election of state printer.
What Kansan is not proud of yester-
days work in electinga United States
Senator with SO nearly a unanimous
vote of both branches of the legisla-
ture; and ] guess every body is satisfied
even the democrats, to see the Houses
divided equally between Charley Blair
and George Click, with four votes
each.
We have been entertained within
the last week by such noted female or
ators as Mrs. Cougar, Mrs. Lockwood
and Mrs. J. J. Ingalls,. Mrs. Cougar
succeeded in gaining admission to the
speakers stand to address the House
Of Representatives, which she did in
very becoming and lady-like manner.
Mrs. Lockwood occupied the Grand
Opera House one evening and deliver
I'd an eloquent address. Her subject was
Social and Political Life in Washing

md 1 was constrained to forgive her
or that little impolite foolishness of

WHEN Stanley Huntley, author OF
the "Spoopendike" papers was doing
newspaper work in Dakota some years
ago he was adopted as son by one of
the chiefs Of the Sioux Indians, for
whom he did some medical service.
This chief was afterwards killed in bat
tie and since then both of his natural
sons have died, SO that by right of in
heritance Mr.. Huntley is now chief of
all the Sioux. 1t is not probable how
ever that he will make very great eff
fort to get possession of his kingdom.

THE BALL.
THE BALL.
Action Of the Inauguration Executive Commit.
tee Relative to Tickets.

The ction of the Executive Com.
mittee of the Inauguration Ceremonies
at Washington, in designating the
Baltimore d Ohio ticket offices in the
principal cities, east and west, az
special repositories for the sale of In
auguratiOn ball tickets, cannot but
prove of great advantage, as hereto
fore tickets could not be obtained for
the ball until after arrival at the ma
t!onal capital. Everybody knows
where the B. & o. offices are in the
leading cities: SO Clark street in Chi
cagO; 5 N. High street in Columbus;
l73 Walnut street in Cincinnati; 1876 8.
Illinois street in Indianapolis; 101 N.
Fourth street st. Louis; 152 w. Balti-
more street in Baltimore. Letters rel
alive to the ball tickets addressed to
the b. & o. ticket agent at any of the
addresses given, or 10 ticket agent B.
q o. office Louisville, Wheeling,
GAINESVILLE, Newark, Sandusky, Cum
berland or Frederick, will receive
prompt attention. At the offices
named, those who desire can purchase
the ball tickets the same time they do
their railroad tickets; while those who
may want them as souvenirs do not
have to send to Washington for them.
Preparation for the inauguration cere-
monies are being carried forward with
the determination to make them men,
orable. The Baltimore & Ohio as the
only direct line from the West into
Washington, has extended every facil-
ity to the executive and other COM
mittees in SO shaping matters as to
bring about complete success i'm every
particular. The B. & o. has announc-
ed the lowest rates ever made for an
Inauguration, in many instances less
than half fare for the round trip, with
a limit on the tickets of the most salts
factory length. By the B. & O's re-
Gently put on fast train schedule its
noted limited trains make the run
through to Washington from all points
from one to six hours quicker than any
of the limited trains on other lines.
Not a nickel extra is charged for the
fast time, which is directly to the con-
trary of the rule followed by other
lines with their limited trains, for up
on them double fare is the only way
one can travel, and must take sleeping
cars through whether wishing to do so
or not. On the B. & o. one exercises
the good old American custom of going
as he pleases. Trains run through
solid, no change of cars Of any class,
and pay only for what is asked for
not cent more, no matter what may
be the custom on other lines. All
these things are well worth consider
ing before starting.

Habituai constipation is not only
one of the most unpleasant, but at the
same time one of the most injurious
conditions of the human system, and
it Is but forerunner of disease, unless
removed. This is usually accomplish
ed by the use of purgatives, which for
the time afford relief, but after their
immediate effects have passed they
leave the system in worse state than
before. To effect cure it is necessary
that the remedy used should be one
that not only by its cathartic effect re-
lieves the bowls, but at the same time
acts as tonic, 80 as to restore the Or
gans to sound, healthy condition.
