Tile Editor of "Garden, Field &
Forest" in the Drmrrara Argo~y Of
5th January quotes the following
from The last Kew Bulletin on the
same subjects;
Seedlings of Sugar Game at Bar
badOs. (H0ccharum oticjnarum, L)-
The sugar cane is one of the most valuable
economic plants we possess. 1t has been
cultivated for SO long a period that the
primitive habitat of HE species according to
DeCand0lle, is unknown. Bentham in Flora
OfHOng Kong, p. APO, states that 1--WE have
no authentic record of any really wild
station of the common sugar cane Fur
tler than this, in common with many
plants that have been for "A long time un-
der cultivation and reproduced solely BIZ
means of buds and suckers, the sugar cane
SO rarely produces mature fruits that no
one, HS far rs We are aware, has ever seen
tn EN-. Certainly in the rich IIerbarium
at Kew there are no seed bearing Speci-
mems. In botanical works the subject is
often referred to, but apparently only to
rtstate the fact that b0ianiStS like
McFadyen in the West Indies and Roxburgh-
in India "haVe never seen the seeds Of
the sugar cane"
Schacht is one OF the few persons who
has given IA good analysis of the flower of
the sugar cane, including the piStil he
also had not. seen the ripe seed.
In discussing the problem how far the
saccharine qualities of the sugar cane
could be improved on the same lines as
those so successfully adopted with regard
to the beet, it was lately pointed out in a
letter addressed to the Colonial Office that,
owing to the power OF producing fertile
seeds having apparently been lost by the
sugar cane, 1t WAS impracticable to deal
with it by means of cross fertilization or
by the ordinary course OF seminal selection.
1t was further pointed out that new and
improved varieties amongst sugar canes
were to be looked for amongst bud vaIia-
tiOnS, aud planters were advised to mark
any canes that showed a departure from
the type and cultivate them separately for
experimental purposes, with a view to
test their yield in sugar. Attention hav-
log thus been directed to the subject by
official notices publ he'd in sugarproduc-
ing colonies, several communications have
been received at Kew from persons who
believed that they were able to afford some
information on the point whether the sugar
cane produces seed or not.
First, as regards the actual seeds of the
sugar cane: A correspondent at FIJI, in
forwarding a small packet to Kew in
April last, stated "SOme time ago there

CLEVELAND ON DEMOCRACY.

In free conversation a few days ago
the president expressed some very earnes
opinions on the outlook Of public affairs,
which manifest the unfaitering courage Of
his convictions and his unshaken faith IN
the ultimatc right judgment Of the Amer
lean people. II am democrat" he said,
awith all The word implies. am, more
over, an intense democrat IN that believe
that the tru" principles Of the democratic
party are essential to the highest weI-being
Of this country" lie went on TO remove
NIL possible room for doubt Of his meaning
by s'truc principles Of the democratic par
ty." They admit no Legislative nursing Of
smonopolics, trusts and combines" They
foster no aceufnuIations Of vast wealth BY
the few at the cost Of steadily augmenting
poverty and misery Of the many. "A par.
ty that encourages these evil tendencies Is
not worthy to be called party Of the peo.
pie" which means Randall's party no iess
than Tsialns'spsFty. The democratic party
can not ielIowship with either. aThe dem.
ocratic party must be true 10 itseif, whether
In power or not. II must keep itself the
representative Of the poor and rich alike,
and maintain solid front agalnstt the ruth
less encroschments Of combined capital
which result in dividing our popuiatioiiin-
TO the abnormaIly rich on the ono hand and
large muisitudes Of unprotected and labor
Ing masses on the other"
These are swords Of truth and sober
mesa" The supreme need Of the demo.
cratic party Is more Of this spirit Of true
democracy and the Vital need Of the coun.
Try Is more Of such democratic party.
