Joseph Jefferson, the celebrated actor.
has been sued by a Brooklyn carriage
maker, who asks to recover some property
valued at s4O, 900. The plaintiff, whose name
is Witty, was an old friend of the actor,
but the latter's success has evidently aroused
Jealousy in the former, as his only plea why
the money should be paid him seems to be
that jefferson can afford it.

The house did not hesitate about passing
the bill admitting Idaho aud Wyoming into
the union as states. Both territories are
republican, though neither can cast a vote
of over $4,000. New Mexico, a territory
casting a vote of SO,612, has no chance of
being admitted because she is democratic
About a year ago the republicans of the
territory, without even consulting their
democratic fellow citizens. adopted con-
stitution in their party convention. This
naturally aroused the ire of the de nocrats,
who thought they should have been con-
suited in the matter, but, anxious to enter
the union, they snothered their wrath and
agreed to accept the republicans constitu-
ton. The Republican party, however,
doesn't want any more democratic states.
According to the republican idea the re-
Guirement territory must possess in order
to be admitted as a state is republican
majority. If New Mexico could furnish
two republican senator's and solid repub-
lican delegation in the Electoral college.
she would be all right.

Sugar Beet Industry.

The consumption of sugar in the United
States is enormous. OF this consumption
the home production constitutes but snail
PERCENTAGE. Within the last few years the
culture Of the sugar beet has been receiving
attention from few of the western
farmers, and alsh Jugh laboring under Diff
culties, their experiments have been
more than satisfactory. In 1857 the pro-
duct was about 200 tons; in 1888 about $50
tons, and in 1889 about 5000 tons. These
experiments have necessarily been ma lie on
a small scale. There are but two beet sugar
manufacturing establishments in the
country. The machinery. however,
for a third one is being received
by the Oxnard Beet Sugar Com
pany of Grand Halls, Neb.. at which place
large factory will be erected. Sugar
beet culture has been engaged in only 10
the west and northwest, but undoubtedly
it can be cultivated in the. east and south
with good results
Speaking of the progress made in the eet
sugar industry in this country Mr.. Henry
7. Oxnard, who has become quite promi-
neat by reason of his opposition to the re-
duction in the sugar tariff, says that
after three years of every variety OF test
he can seq nothing in the way of a pros
porous era for this Industry in the United
States with the proper tariff protection.
1t has been demonstrated il the culture of
the beet in various sections of the western
and Pacific states, that the percentage of
sugar in the American grown beet is
about per cent. greater than that of the
German and French beet.
1t is estimated that an acre of land will
produce at least fifteen tons of beets. giving
net profit of s25 to $40, as against profit
of Sc 80 to IS so from an acre of corn. The
development of this industry, it is thought,
will enable the western farmers to remove
their mortgages and enjoy a season OF sue
cessful farming. The culture OF the beet
requires little more care and attention
than corn, but the profit is much greater
The experiments show also that soil suit
able for corn will produce the sugar beet
and not exhaust the land so much as corn.
The Oxnard company has received from
Belgium fifty tons of beet sugar seed, two
tons of which have been forwarded to
Washington for general distribution. Ths
rest will be used for planting purposes in
Nebraska. The sugar growing industry is
now presented to congress as a national in
dustry, not a sectional one. With the cane
in the south and southwest and the sugar
beet in the west, it is hoped that within
few years sugar enough will be produced
to supply the demand of the home market.
