To Manufacture Beet SUGAR.

Col. Wilson, of Nebraska, was inter-
viewed the other day regarding the
prospects of producing sugar from,
beets in this country. He is report,
ed to have said: ''Ia has been tried
in Illinois, Utah, California and hall
a dozen other States, and for enc
reason or another has been a failure
every time. But the fact still remains
that millions of pounds of sugar are
being made in Germany from beets.
The people OF Grand Island, Neb-
raska, have made up their. minds
that the thing can be done there,
and they have put their hands in
their pockets to the extent OF $780,
900, with that they propose toprove
it. Experiments have been made by
distributing seeds among great
many farmers and analysis has prov
en- to the satisfaction OF a German
expert that there is nothing in the
way OF successful sugar making from
Nebraska beets. The State legisla-
ture has helped the matter along by
passing law granting a bounty OF
one cent a pound on all the beet
sugar manufactured in the State"
A press dispatch from New Orleans
La, April Z, reads, "The steamship
Nymphaa has arrived here from
Hamburg, Germany, loaded with
the machinery for the beetsugar fac
tory now under construction at
Grand Island, Neb. She also brought
upward of fifty tons OF beet seeds.
Mr.. Hamilton, OF Nebraska. who
shipped the machinery, is now in Eu-
rope, forwarding the trains as they
are loaded. Several tons of these
seeds go forward to the agricultural
department at Washington, as the
department has had application for
seed upto the present time from over
1000 farmers throughout the Unit
ed States, and further applications
are constantly coming in which show
the interest taken by every one re-
garding this new industry. The
plant at Grand Island, Neb., when
completed, will cost considerably over
100000, and will have a daily ca
pacity of upward of 1000 tons OF
beetS.

What We Must Do.

The following article was published
in the Farm Stock. & Home, but
the alliance to which Mr. Norwood,
the writer, belongs, was extremely
anxious to see it also in the GREAT
WEST:
The question is often asked,
"wlat is the use of belonging to a
Farmers Alliance? We can do moth
ing" There are many things, that
we can do But we must not expect
our wrong will be righted unless we
do it ourselves. We must not nope
along the rest of our lives and pay
over to railroad rings, money lords,
beef combines, and trusts, every dol
lar received from our toll.
Let farmers part with their party
politics, selfshness and jealousy, Join
the alliance and work to a difnite
end. Let us stop electing capitalists,
and professional politicians to con-
:gress and legislatures. and let us sit
down hard on those legislatures, OF
whatever party, that sends to the
United States senate the creators OF
false values.
Babes or knownothings from be-
yOnd civilization, would not have
been so fatal to our interests for they
would have been honest, at least nor
would men with limited knowledge
been able to draft laws exclusively
for the benefit of capitalists and ex-
tortionists of all imaginable kinds.
Let us work together, nominate and
elect a farmer amongst us who shall
pledge himself to do our bidding,
and then we must know what we
want! Wheat is worth only 63 cents
at Balaton, freight from here to
Minneapolis is 9 cts or IA per cent OF
value. A carload of machinery from
Chicago to Balaton costs $96, the
actual cost for transporting the car
load is 80, car profit of $S7.
Every thing we buy and sell is
treated with the same medicine. Is
it not time to study and keep posted
ON something besides the pillow and
drag? Why SOW and not reap? We
must first post ourselves as to our
wants, and then elect men that will
comply with our requests. What
will our children do for a living if we
allow ourselves to submit to the ty-
rants now ruling? I predict they
will be next to galley slaves if not
actually SO: will you submit to have
your children handled as cattle, or
will you arise in your might and de-
.mand halt?
think every man with common
sense will admit that it is his duty
to join the alliance and fight to the
bitter end. But if we are ever to
reap any benefit from organization
it is of the utmost Importance that
we hold together as one man. If we
allow party politicians to scatter US
as dog scatters sheep, our organic
alton is worthless! We must stand
by each other, and not allow traitors
to play the same game twice. The
man who betrayed us in legislature
sOr congress must not be tolerated,

Is the sense of humor really lacking in
the feminine sex, as has been charged
so often? It is said there is not at
present really funny actress upon the
stage except Rosina Vokes, and she is an
English woman. Those who make Us
laugh in the theatre are all men actors,
with this exception. But there is GER
tainly one American woman writer who
possesses the humorous talent. That is

alliance.
Who shall be honored with the
highest offices, if not the plug-hatted
lawyers and capitalists? Let us not
get uneasy, for the few able men al
ready working for our interests, let
us select honest men to help them
carry wise and helpful measures. A
bill was introduced in congress this
winter to provide for government
loans to farmers at 3 per cent, but
it was laughed down with contempt
by the money lords of that body.
Let us weed out the rotten stuff
and replace it with better material.
A bill was also introduced to build a
canal for the purpose OF allowing
steamers into Duluth, which would
materially cheaper transportation
of wheat from Duluth to Liverpool,
but this was not in the interest OF
Railroad Kings, and the bill met
with defeat. as usual. We must quit
selecting our law makers from a lot
OF schemers and rascals who place
themselves upon the market, cattle
to be sold to the highest bidder for
for cash, or else we will be buried past
hope OF recovery. There is not half
the danger in electing an ignorant
man as a dishonest one. But our
legislators must be our servants,
and if orders are not promptly obey
ed wipe them off the face of the earth.
This will create honesty in the place
Of fraud, corruption and treason to
our interests. C. F. NORWOOD.

from the date of the vote to go into
liquidation, the association shall de-
post with the Treasurer of the
Uuited States lawful money of the
United States sufficient to redeem all

Treasurer shall execute duplicate re-
ceipts for money thus deposited, and
deliver one to the association and
the other to the comptroller of the
currency. stating the amount re-
ceived by him, and the purpose for
which it has been received; and the
money shall be paid into the Treas
ury of the United States, and placed
to the credit of such association
upon redemption account.
And Section 4 of the act of June 80.
1874, which provides:
SEC. 4. That any association or
ganized under this act, or any of the
acts of which this is an amendment,
desiring to withdraw it's circulating

Or course no one would accuse
the Nebraska Farmers Alliance of
advocating ''class legislation" but
we notice that this body has agreed
that eight hours day was enough
for any laboring man except farm
hands" That exception is a hu-
morous plank in the platform, for
fully four-fifths Of the laborers of
Nebraska are farm hands. But
the alliance is pledged against
denying any man his rights, so the
farm hand will, in case of alliance
supremacy, be permitted to begin
the chores at q. m. as usual and
finish just after the junebugs have
retired. The farm hands should
