Messrs, Dymond, Mccall, Warmoth, Will
kinson, and Foos, members Of the Louisi-
ana Sugar Planters Association, accom-
panied by Commissioner ColmNn and Prof.
Wiley, appeared before the House commit
tee on agriculture Saturday to advocate an
appropriation to complete the diffusion
experiments on sorghum and to haye the
process applied also to the tropical sugar
cane Of their state, which has not as vet
been done, though large amount has been
appropriated for the purpose. The planters,
in their petition, state that the European
governments have expended large amounts
IN the application Of diffusion IN the manu-
facture Of sugar from beets, and express
the belief that "its grand success there can
be duplicated here in our sugar cane in
dustry, and as its representatives we appear
before you to ask you to appropriate the
necessary means, estimated at 100000 by
the department Of agriculture, to complete
the experiment In diffusion begun In Kan.
sas, and which we desire to have also
tested with tropical cane in Louisiana"
Commissioner Colman advocated the
opTiation-admitted that mistakes,
which must necessarily accompany all eX-
perimental work, had heretofore been
made, hut felt assured one more seasons
work would accomplish the desired result
Prof. Wiley gave an account of his recent
trip to Europe to investigate the manu-
facture Of cane sugar by diffusion in south
EN- Spain, and fully confirmed all state
ments made by the NATIONAL REPUBLI
CAN, showing the superiority Of American
made II achinery over the best that can be
produced in Europe,
The American machine that was tried II
Kansas cut chip so well suited to diffusion
that 1t readily yielded 0s per cent. of tht
total sugar in the cane; while the extraction
obtained by the French machine used il
Spain was about G per cent. less, and muct
slower, in its operation.
1t is to be hoped that we shall hear mt
more propositions purchasiDgm
for government use abroad-either marin
engines, torpedo boats, or diffusion machin
ery-or, indeed, any other kind. Give ou

"Come, O'Doherty," said an Irish mem

DEATH
Mr. Justin Mccarthy, in his letter to the
HCrdH by the Mackay- Bennett cable, re-
minds us Of some fthe stirring experiences
Of Irishmen In the past. MIR. O'Doherty,
to whom he refers, took his seat in the
house on Thursday, and was greeted with
such cheers as can come only from lrsih
throats.
lie has had remarkable history. In
1S4S he wrote letters dcnouncing the course
Of England toward his native land. They
were by no means tame in rhetoric. On the
other hand, II was as lurid as their logic
was strong. lie was arrested, tried three
times, and convicted at last, because the
castle would listen to no other verdict than
guilty. Sentenced to ten years transporta-
ton TO Van Diemen's Land aud loaded with
chains, he bore his exile as best he could.
\ pardon came, but he did not care to re-
turn.
Now, at the age of GO, he takes his seat
in the British parliament amid tremendous
cheering by his countrymen. Since 1913
wonderful changes have taken place.
The O'Brien referred to was also con-
victed Of treason and sentenced to be
hanged, drawn, and quartered. Little Won
der that when under circumstances so
altered these two men took their seats side
by side at Westminster fellow member
should cry out to O'Doherty: "Don't be
too proud Of your penal servitude. O'Brien,
who sits next to you, was sentenced to
Geath.n
The incident is full of significance and
almost painfully interesting.
