Martin Mohler, secretary of the state
board OF agriculture. has returned from
the irrigation convention at Oberlin
and from a visit to the beet sugar mills
at Grand Island. Nebraska. At the
latter place he was given but cool re-
ception. While in-the mill he met the
company's chemist, who stated that
there were great many secrets which
he had no authority to make public and
Mr.. Mohler was compelled to come
away but little wiser than when he first
went there. Enough has been done in
the man utacture of sugar from beets in
Kansas to prove that with proper ma.
chinery in charge Of competent and ex-
perienced men, the industry will be
successful. The soil and climate are
well adapted to beet culture and the ex-
perience of the sugar mill at Medicine
Lodge, which is in charge OF man who
was for years employed in the manu-
facture of beet sugar in Germany,
demonstrates its complete practicable
ty. A small run on beets was made by
the Topeka mill this year and so salts
factory were the results that contracts
will be entered into largely with the
farmers for furnishing it with beets in
1891. 1t is found that most Of the ma
chinery used in the manufacture of
sorghum sugar can be used in produc-
ing beet sugar, and mill which can
combine the two Industries can run in
Kansas successfully for seven months,
which is as long season as IL enjoyed
By any sugar manufacturing country

The Cresset calls our attention to the
fact that silver was below par under
the Cleveland administration. We
have some recollection of the matter.
Our article was intended to revive the
recollection Of the Cresset to the fact
that few weeks before the election
silver had a wonderful boom, and the
Cresset and it party papers glorified the
event as due to the good management
of the Harrison dynasty. But a few
weeks have passed and silver has lost
its grip, and the Cresset forgets to ex-
plain. II good management put it up,
and you claim credit, you ought to ad-
init that there is bad management in
letting 1t go down.

INGALLS, rs. THE ALLIANCE

INGALLS rs. The ALLIANCE.
The force bill was up in the SEN
ate, last Saturday, and John !. ingalls,
made speech in favor of the bill. This
Is the same bill which was denounced by
the alliance at Ocala. 1t is the same
Ingalls, who is seeking for alliance
votes to help re-elect him to the United
States senate. This same ingalls,, who
has kept mum on this question till the
republican senators did notknow wheth-
er he was friend or foe to the bill.
When some of his friends went to him
and asked HIM to vote with Plumb on
this bill and on the silver bill he replied
that he could not afford to follow
Plumb, or any other man." He con-
siders himself 30 great that he must op-
pose all measures, good, bad or indiffer-
emit, which do not originate in his own
brain.
Immediately after making this
speech, Mr.. ingalls, asked and received
two weeks leave of absence. He will
put in the time in vigorous effort to
secure alliance votes, by fair means or
foul for no one, not even his best
friends, will say that Ingalls, hesitates
to use foul means. Bribery and cor
ruption are his best hold, and he un
blushingly asserts that the decalogue
and the golden rule have no place in a
political campaign. The fight will
probably be bitter one. If Ingalls, be
defeated, it will be melting out long-de-
layed justice. If Ingalls, be successful
and that through the corruption of ALI
ance representatives, the organization
will receive a stunning blow. and re
cOvery will be slow, and perphaps new
or will be complete.
Let the alliance prepare to meet q
cunning, crafty and INSCRIPTIONS enc

man given to laughing at him, was never
theless stirred up by the frequent faint
ing fits of the Arroyo ladies to do some
thing. Capt Perez too was on the war
path. Amy was full of CONSERVATION,
not because she believed Don Walter
had come to harm, but lest this excite
ment should cause his discovery.
She thought, in a helpless way, of ap-
pealing to Capt. Perez to stop the hue
and cry, as if this would not have been
equally fatal.
In the midst of it came letter from
Walter, apparently safely arrived in
New York. The old servant was dis
credited; the Misses Arroyo recovered
from their fainting turns. Amy had a
guilty feeling when they told her about
Walters travels. He wrote a most in
tcresting letter they said; he described
Broadway, Central park and the Brook
lyn bridge so that it was almost like be-
ing there, but the excitement and fatigue
of exploring a foreign country were great
and he would not have time to write
often.
AT the appointed time she left her com
munication for Walter as they had
agreed. She watched and found it soon
replaced by one from him, sort of jour,

Don Walterutilizeda bright ight of the
tropics for his final march to the canyon.
y radiant moonlight still whitenel all its
strange features when, in the small hours
of the morning, he arrived there.
He had already conveyed thither many
things that would be useful to him. and
his first care was to make something like
a permanent home in one Of the lava
hut5 he had used temporarily. These
were in reality kind of rude glass, the
effect of imprisoned steam forcing its
way through the vitreOus mass. They
varied in size from beehive to a cottage.
Many were of snow white pumice, and
they looked like tents, from his doorway.
He took up his own abode in an inCOn-
spicuous, mud colored one, near the
place where the treasure flowed forth,
yet not 50 near as to establish any direct
connection with it. 1t needed only an
enlargement of the natural opening near
the bottom and the cutting out of port
hOle-like window or two, to make it hab-
table. He spread some petates-mats of
the maSuey tiber-On the floor, and con-
Structed rude table and shelves for his
scientific apparatus. Then, finding it
gloomy, as he lay ON his camp bed, to gaze
up into the Zimmerman darkness in the top
Of the tall cone, he made an opening for
light there also, and later placed cell
ing, which divided the hut into two sto-
ries. Then he fitted rustic gratings to
~; =, 4
birds or, perchance. even wild beasts at
night.
He had natural taste for the orna-
mental, with all his masculine habits,
and when this was done he set some
plants in his window openings, 50 that
there was a certain hardy air of comfort
about it. Just as the edelweiss is found
in Alpine SHOWS, so he brought back
from his explorations small flowers
symbols, perhaps, of headstrong passion
that thrOVe as close as possible to the
burning heats.
But he did not complete this work of
installing himself till he had put the sig
nal of communication with Amy upon
a more stable footing.
1T had been my habit, he said in his
journal, ITO throw into the basin large
stones and pieces of stalaguite broken
off around its own borders. These anger
it and thus cause a disturbance in some
central chamber that finally reaches to
you. But the ebuIlition seemed daily to
decrease, and | feared there might be
danger Of choking up the tube and put

a CRISP paper cracked TO hcr touch.
But two days after the impulsive dis
closure of her affection for Walter, Dona
Beatriz had sought at the hacienda to
disavow it, in passion of confusion and
remOrse.

consideration that should have restrained
me when talked So" she said. Il had
neither self respect nor shame. l come
to beg you to think no more of it, and
never to breathe word of it to any

Amy was as non-committal as possible,
to save her feelings, but she had to ad-
NIT some portion of what had taken
place.
Il hoped to lin time" said Beatriz,
with quivering sigh, and flushing deep
.y red in her shamefacedness. 1T is a
part of my punishment, then, that he
knows. | must never see him again"
She shut herself up for a long time
after this, in peculiarly close seclusion,
keeping away from all those she had
known. The Arroyo ladies she naturally
avoided most. Thus it resulted that she
knew nothing Of Walters departure for
the United States. Her sincere effort
to do right in this struggle with herself
was shown in her never making inquiries
for him. 1t was only by accident that
she learned of it, and after that, the two
older sisters, her companions, began to
report that they feared her health would
give out, and urged her forth to take
more exercise.
Then she occasionally came again to
the hacienda. 1t did not consist with the
magnanimity of Amy to feel the jealousy
that is said to be entertained by women
who are rivals for the affections of the
same man.
Walter has traits to make him any
womans hero" she said; The unites
strength and courage with physical
beauty, a generous heart, a frank and
open character, and a considerate ma
ture. He is a man such as all men ought
to be when the race is perfected. What
more natural than that she should feel
so? Besides, what claim have | to vaunt
myself over her? We are both in the
hands of Providence, which will dispose
of us in its own good way"
They spoke of him no more; but it was
plain to Amy whittier her companions
