CATsKlLL MAPLE SUGAR.
Farmers whe Send Thousands of Pounds
to Market-A Counterfeit Sugar.

MIDDLETowN On. ", March 17th.-
The work of maple sugar making has al
ready begun in the rock-maple forests
along the western slopes of the Catskills
and the high lands adjacent to the Della
ware and Susquehanna rivers. The unu-
suallv deep SHOWS that still linger in the
tracted flow of sap and an abundant sugar
crop. Most of the farmers in the region
designated maintain orchards which they
tap every season, and in the older settled
sections of Otsego and Delaware counties
there are venerable naples that have been
tapped every spring for hundred years
or more.
The quality of the product varies widely,
from the carelessly made and dirty brown
article to the pure, limpid, and delicately
favored sweet that commands the top
price of the market. The maker realizes
for the coarser grades of sugar six or eight
cents pound, and for the finer grades ten
to twelve cents pound, while maple syrup
varies in price according to quality, from
IS cents to 81 % per gallon. The syrupis
usually put up in air-tight one-gallon cans,
and in this form, if properly and clearly
made, will retain its flavor for years.
Probably the production of central and
northern New York in favorable season
will aggregate 100000 pounds. Most of
the sugar and syrup from this section goes
to two wholesale dealers in New York,
each of whom handles about fifty carloads
during the season.
1t is an undeniable fact that only
small portion of the maple sugar made
reaches the consumer in a strictly fresh,
pure. and unadulteraied form. This is in
large part due to slovenly methods of man
ufacture. The sweet is also extensively
adulterated by the admixture of she old
and stale with the fresh product, CO by the
addition CT cane or beet-root sugar, or of
glucose. The latest fraud Ia this direc-
ton, for which patent has actually been
taken out, is the manufacture of an article
that is wholly counterfeit. The patentee
claims that by the cheap and simple pro-
cess Of havoring "any Kind Of sacoharine
matter. or mixture Of saccharine matters,

pers, to hear from Mr. Arnold-who
frankly confesses that in his own country
there is an upper class materialized,
middle class vulgarized, and a lower class
brutalized- that in America they do not
solve the human problem successfully, and
with their present methods they never
can. Consequently the masses of the
American people do really come to believe
all they hear about their finer nervous or
ganization. and the rightness of the Amer
lean accent and the Importance of Ameri-
can literature; that is to say, they see
things not as they are, but as they would
like them to be-"
We do not by any means accept Mr..
Arnolds tests of American civilization as
absolute and the true ones; not even his
death should temper the disposition to
pronounce him as often vague indirect
and lacking IN analytical strength in his
criticism of our people. He appears to
have failed to find the sobriety, depth of
thought, high purpose and soundness of
principle in American journalism that he
might have discovered; or in our pride in
American literature, aspirations for and
progress towards the loftiest ideals of
culture.
Our educational system appears to have
escaped the serious contemplation that is
its due from critics his attention seems
to have been absorbed more by the address
to the eye and the ear than to heart or in
telleet. The domesticity of the American
people, the civilization reflected by its
internal economy, the affection in and the
guard of honor over American homes, less
impressed him than the designs and orna-
mentation of the exteriors of dwellings.
The equality of our people was considered
almost specifically certainly it does
not appear to have suggested to him the
underlying thought and strength of our
system, that finds exemplification in the
unification of the people in interests,
government and common purpose. He does
not appear, in the paper under considera-
ton, to have grasped the reason for the
American republic, or to have fully real
lied in the equality he commends and
the freedom from restraint he deprecates,
that Americans are really getting nearer
to the solution of all social and political
problems than any people of the earth.
That we care more for business and less
for architecture; more for equality and
less for class distinction more for develop
ment and the conquest of nature than for
rural permanence; more for schemes of
popular education than for things ancient
and hoary with tradition, satisfies Ameri-
cans that while their civilization is by no
means perfect, it is meeting the need of
humanity, and advancing human rights
more rapidly and better than any of the
systems of the old world, with all its per-
manence, culture, scholarship, sense of
beauty and refinement of taste.

THE FOLSOM WATER POWER.
Views of Secretary of State Hendricks
Upon the Subject.

Views of Secretary of State Hendricks
Upon the Subject.
In an interview yesterday with Secretary
of State W. c. Hendricks, who visited the
Folsom State Prison few days since, and
in company with the Governor examined
the site of the dam and proposed canal
appropriating water power from the Amer
lean river at that point, Mr.. Hendricks
said
g. do not feel that anything more can be
said in favor of utilizing the water of the
American river than was contained in Your
issue of Monday, the 10th inst Everything
favors it, and nothing can be said against.
Humanity forbids that the prisons should
be run on solely money making basis, or
that any State is narrow enough to consider
profit alone from her criminal element as
the object of imprisonment; but if such is
cur aim and object, by all means utilize the
States right TO the power to be obtained
from six feet fall of volume of water 4Ox
feet in dimension at the prison gate.
III reformation and the best interest of
the prisoners (Which is always the best in
terest of society and the State), is the OBJ
Ject, leaving money-making secondary to
the higher object, then l say utilize that
Governor Waterman's administration
in saving an appropriation of 100000 to
build new jute mill, and accomplishing
the same result with night shift of
prisoners in the present mill, at a very
slight increased expense, land which plan
is working admirably, is appreciated, and
will ever be gratefully remembered by the
taxpayers. The policy of teaching so
many prisoners a business they cannot
follow after release may be questioned, but
II the manufacture of jute at San Quentin
with expensive steam power is success,
why would 1t not be a greater success at
Folsom, with the cheaper power of water I?
And If the better system of diversified
trades and industries are decided upon
water power is equally important
1T Is unnecessary in this connection to
discuss the number of prisoners that ought
TO be confined in one prison, for water
power is adapted to any number. So, that
from any standpoint of view, no matter
what system or character of labor is
practiced at prisons, or what number of
prisoners employed, whether for house use
Irrigation or. the manufacture of light, the
value of the States right to the water power
of the American river is prominent, as a
great desideratum, crying for appropri-
alton.
Dul tue CtdlS IlsOu use OF the wafer
power great and important as it is, is but
a speck in its future value. The prison
appropriation is but usufruct; the water
passes on, and after furnishing the power
for unlimited factory purposes, below may
be spread out over the Sacramento valley
and plains, bringing untold acres up to its
greatest productive power, and making the
valley bloom and produce equal to any
part of the earth.
The prospective value and possibilities
ofthis great dormant power is incalculable.
Let it be appropriated, and at the earliest
possible moment"

THE Assembly of New York has adopted
and probably so will the Senate-a reso-
luton submitting the question of prohibit
ton to the people upon proposed consti-
tutional amendment. New York is thus
to be brought face to face with the tenn
perance question in its most radical form.
The politicians ought to be pleased with
this prospect, since it will take the ques-
ton out of the Presidential politics of the
State, and set it aside as distinct and in
dependent issue, to be decided by vote
of the people in 1891, after being sub
mitted to the Legislature of 1890, and
approved by it. The contest, therefore,
will come on the choosing of members of
that Legislature, or in 1889.

In response to an invitation from Gen
eral Sherman to attend the celebration of
the birthday of General Grant, Colonel
Mosby, who was on "the other side" in
the late "unpleasantness," had the grace
and courage to say " l regret that l can
not be with YOU on the occasion to add my
tribute to the memory of the generous
soldier whose victories in peace were no less
renowned than in war. With feelings OF
pride | remember that l honored him in
life, and am not one Of those who did not
discover his virtues until he was dead"
We believe Colonel Mosby, and that he is
sincere in this declaration. If all others who
were of his lot in the war were equally as
frank and equally as just the gulf be-
tween the Blue and Gray would be more
speedily bridged.

have enabled it to meet the debt with
ease. But as the report shows, the Gov
eminent took the the matter out of the
company's hands, and substituted for its
method of final provision for the debt an
other that has proven financial failure;
failure, augmented by the neglect and
refusal of the Government to pay to the
company the sum due to it for services
rendered, to say nothing of the acts that
imposed upon it conditions foreign to the
original contract, and the adoption by the
Government Of policy that narrowed the
earning capacity of the road, deprived it
of legitimate business, and tended to
weaken the security of the Government
for its debt.
When in the future the calm and unim-
passioned history of the relations of the
company and the Government is written,
the generation that reads it will be
amazed that Government founded upon
justice and grounded in the recognition of
the inalienable rights of men, could have
been guilty of such injustice toward any
association of its citizens as the facts are
now disclosing in the case of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company

If Boulanger attains his desire and fills
French ministerial seat once more; if
Kaiser Frederick dies and Prince William
ascends the throne of Germany, the ex-
peetation is that the two nations will fall
to boxing each others ears at once. But
public anticipation is just as likely to
suffer disappointment in the matter. In
vestment with supreme authority is like
ballast in ships hold-it steadies and
insures safer sailing Boulanger, with a
portfolio under his arm, and William,
with a crown upon his temples, may
become very conservative men by reason
of the weight of responsibility imposed
upon them. Oftener it is true than false

pestuous and combatiye fellow in an Or
ganization is to put him into the seat of

Questions Asked.

EDS. RECORD UNION: What is the mean
ing of the word argonaut? Also, will you
inform me through your paper whether or
not asparagus contains properties injurious
to the human system? H. B.
REPLIEs-The word argonaut origin
ally applied to the heroes of Greek antiq-
uity, who are reported by a rose-colored
legend to have built strong ship and
made daring voyages upon the periloIs
seas in search of the golden fleece with
which, by tradition, PhTixus and Helle ran
away, and which was nailed by the former
to an oak in the grove of Mars. The name
comes from the ship "Argo," in which
these reputed nayigators sailed, and
nautes," meaning sailor. In modern use
the word argonaut means those pioneers of
the Golden State who came to California by
water.
Asparagus is regarded by physicians as a
healthful food, and contains nothing in
furious. 1t is. however, a diuretic. and
might not be advisable food for patients

SAYS the indianapolis journal "The
signs of activity among the Republicans of
the South are very cheering, especially to
those Of us in the North who have been
insistent for years that the Southern States
should not be abandoned, but that the
National Committee should plan for and
conduct precisely the same sort of cam
vass in what may be termed the doubt
full States of the South that they do in
the doubtful States of the North" The
doubtful States are those which, if the
votingand counting could be fairly done and
coercive influences removed, the Republic
cans would stand an excellent chance of cast
ing the majority of the ballots. Towards
their redemption campaign energy is to be
first directed. 1t may be possible to secure
one or more of these States in 1888, either
Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Louisiana or Florida. The Republican
party can do no better missionary work
than 10 engage in the rescue of these
States from the claimed solidity of the
Democracy in the South.

The master brewers are winning in
their struggle with the Masters and
Brewers Union. They are certain to at
tain full success, because it is with them a
fight for principle, principle backed by
the whole theory of free government, and
underlying all the inalienable rights of
men. A special cause for rejoicing with
the employing brewers in their triumph,
now so near at hand, is found in the fact
that the central struggle is in Chicago,
where the opposition to the master brew
ers is the anarchist organization. The
masters and brewers locked out are, in
the main, members of the Anarchist
Central Labor Union. The success Of the
masters means the woeful defeat of the
anarchists. As a result their dupes will
lose confidence in the organization, and
faith in its preaching. Society, therefore,
is about to be materially benefited by the
outcome Of the contest now on. The
Master Brewers" contend simply for the
right TO employ whoever suits them, to
pay the wages they may bargain for, to
'run" their business in their own way, and
TO keep it free from the dictation of men
who have neither concern nor capital in
it. These are rights guaranteed by the
organic law of the Republic, and lying at
the root of the whole growth of free in
stitutions. If they cannot be maintained
in the interest Of beer production, then,
indeed, are the liberties of the American
people in danger of utter wreck

OUR Democratic friends are nothing if
not inconsistent. Here they were, few
days ago, maintaining deadlock in the
House to prevent the passage of the bill
for returning to the loyal States the money
advanced TO the Federal Government in
the hours of sore trial in the darkest DAYS
of an unholy rebellion. Yet on the very
heels of this opposition to just measure
we find the Democracy pushing bill dill
igently and demanding its prompt pas
sage to pay claim for the occupancy by
Federal troops of certain property in Mem
phis during the rebellion. Here is con-
sistency for you. The Democracy denies
the return Of money to California that she
advanced to pay Union troops to suppress
the rebellion, and yet pushes demand
for rent for buildings taken from rebel
hands by such troops and used to shelter
them from sun and rain. Is there any
thing the solid South wants that the sub
servient Northern Democracy will not
grant?

DENNIS KEARNEY is not an apostle of
progress from whom we are disposed to
quote as a rule, but in his recent speech in
San Francisco he made statements that are
apparently supported by other testimony
Thus, he tells us as the result of his observ-
alton in Washington that the Chinese
Minister directs matters pretty much as he
desires in all things relating to the restric-
ton of Chinese immigration. Mr.. Bay
ards weak and leaky treaty certainly justi-
fes this statement, as also his own confess
sion, that last summer in the midst of the
diplomatic correspondence through which
the treaty was being negotiated, the Min
lister suddenly and rudely broke off without
apology, explanation or cause and went to
New York, remaining there some months.
A more sensitive man than Mr.. Bayard,
let us say one more jealous of his country's
honor, would have resented this unpro-
voked insult But in his report to the Pres
ident he fatty admits the affront and that
he did not even reprove the Oriental for
his impudence. So, too, Kearney tells us
that the President entertains the belief
that the Chinese in the United States may
be Christianized and assimilated with our
civilization. There are evidences that
there is something in this besides mere
kearney anger or extravaganza. Ger
tainly the President has not manifested
that interest in question of such moment
to the people of this coast as to warrant
the belief that he is deeply impressed with
the oed for stringent restriction Of CHI
nese immigration. We may safely con-
clude that with its usual insincerity the
Democracy would have given little or no
heed to the "Chinese question had not
1883 been a Presidential year.
