A Good Showing.

j. }. Nierling has received from the
government chemist at WASHINGTON re-
port of the analysis OF samples of the
sugar beets raised on his farm this year
from which it appears that the per cent.
of sugar contained in them is l2.54.
Senator Casey, who has given the beet
sugar subject considerable time and
study, says this is remarkably good
showing. In Germany the sugar beet
industry wac made profitable when only
7per cent was the proportion ofsugar, but
since that time by improved machinery
they have been able to raise this per
cent. there to II. Mr.. Nierlina's beets
were raised from government seed sent
him by Senator Casey. Mr.. Nierling a
week or s, ago sent sample box OF
these beets toGrand Island, Neb., and
has received the assurance from the
manager of that extensive plant that
they would be experimental with and
that he would be advised Of the result
Mr.. Nierling says his sugar beets also
make excellent pickles es-better than the
blood beets. He distributed a number
OF small quantities about the city and
says everyone who plciSled them con-
siders them superior to any other variety
for thrt purpose.

THE Woodsfield Spirit serves notice
on the Democracy of this Congressional
district that Monroe county proposes to
be there and take a hand when it comes
to nominating candidate for Congress
1t further intimates that as that county
does a large part of the Democratic
voting, its candidates must obtain rec
ognition, or somebody might not have
enough votes when election day arrives.
The remarks of the Spirit is very sug-
gestive, and it speaks as one having
authority. AT the same time, if it en-
forces what it says, it will bear hard on
the twenty or more candidates who do
not claim Monroe county as their home.
AS the Spirit states the situation it GER
tainly presents anything but cheering
aspect for the contemplation of the Con-
gressional aspirants from this county.
If Monroe county proposes to lock the
situation, retaliation might result. In
any event it will be interesting, and the
Republicans can watch the fun.

BETTER GENEROUS THAN UNJUST

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There are great many people it i!
hard to please. Lately there was, ant
there is still, surplus in the U.
Treasury and there was clamor that il
should be distributed. Well, it is being
distributed and at pretty lively rate
Much of it is being paid out under the
head of pensions. We do not know &
better way to dispose of it than that
No class deserves more than the brave
men who went into the field and riskeC
their lives in defense of their country
Every dollar spent in that way is vel
spent. Some enterprising statisticiaI
has figured up that the United State:
pays more in pensions than Germany
does for the support of its standing army
That is an exaggeration; but suppose
it were true? There is no comparison
between the German system that forces
its young men into its army and keeps
it standing, and our system that has nc
standing army, but appeals to the
patriotism of our citizens when danger
faces us to respond to the call of theil
country. The United States will never
call in vain.
We could muster a larger army than
Germany has, if there was an occasion
for it, inside of six months. This largely
because our Government never forgets
its soldiers. Furthermore, if there should
be a call for soldiers now the whole
country would respond, not one-half of
it, as in 1865. Our own home difficult
ties are over. The ballot settles matters
now, not the bullet. There need be no
trouble therefore about what the soldiers
receive, and no patriot will begrudge
the money that is being paid to the boys
that wore the blue. If there is any class
that might be expected to object it is the
boys that wore the gray; but to the credit
of these it is to be said they do not
object.
AS for a deficit, let it come. The
sooner it is fairly threatened the better.
Its first effort would be to put the brakes
upon the waste of public money. There
is now an epidemic of extravaganza.
If the pensions paid to soldiers will stop
this it will prove beneficial to the country
in general. At any rate we always feel
like taking off our hat to soldier, and
certainly the Government would be un-
grateful if it withheld the legitimate
means to prevent a soldier or his widow
or his orphan children from begging
bread. The money paid in pensions is
not lost. tits distributed, and the people
who pay are those who have a country
because the soldier fought for it. In the
matter of pensions it is far better, under
the circumstances, to be generous than
unjust.

THE extremes to which the liquor men
have gone in their manifestations of
delight in the recent decisions of the
Supreme Court and also of lesser courts,
promises to so disgust and nauseate
people who have care for decency and
humanity, that public opinion will be
inflamed to the point of giving the
whisky interest worse "back set" than
it has at any time suffered. The actions
of "original package" men in many
places have been of the baSeSt character
and travesty on law, order and society.
The scions of deviltry and offsprings of
vilest humanity, might deem themselves
too virtuous for some of the disgraceful
proceedings. In Iowa, Kansas, Pensyl-
vania and other States, liquor is being
sold in violation of State law and police
regulations. Children are made drunk
by way of an advertisement. The bill
now in Congress designed to afford relief
should be speedily rushed through In
order to curtail the period of debauchery.
While the present day of lax liquor reg
ulations is likely to be of short duration,
it affords opportunity for the display of
the fiendish Joy which some men exper-
fence in destroying the manhood of
others.

THE Campbell Epileptic Asylum Com
mission, which has been perambulating
over the State for the past two or three
weeks, ostensibly looking for a location
for the new institution, should come into
Belmont county and give some of its
numerous eligible sites consideration.
Belmont county stands well to the front
in point of population, Importance and
wealth, and should receive little more
consideration from the coterie of wise
men about Columbus who assume to
direct the affairs of State. A little less
mutual admiration and a broader con-
ception of the rights of the people, would
send some of the benevolent and reform
atory institutions of the State outside of
the charmed circle of counties about the
capital.

THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1880.

THE German Catholics and Lutherans
seem to be set in their opposition to sole
instruction in English in schools for
American youth. In some places it is
proposed to have the German language
recognized and taught, if nothing else is
taught. In Illinois and Wisconsin they
have taken stand, and on that issue
will the result of the coming fall cam
paign hinge. This argues a sorry con-
dition. 1t would appear that in country
where English is spoken, and is the Off
cial language, that nowhere ought there
to be any question in regard to teaching
it in the public schools to the exclusion
of any other language. If the foreign
elements of our population were becom-
ing properly assimilated and American
lied, never for an instant would such a
controversy arise. No one can object to
German people speaking their mother
tongue in their home, but when they at
tempt to force it into the schools, they
are treading on dangerous ground.
When foreigners come here they are ex-
pected to acquire our language and Gus
toms, and if they do not, they should be
sent back to the land of their birth The
Dutch, Scandinavians, Bohemians, Hun
garians or any other class, have the same
right to demand that their language be
taught, and what babel would such
consummation bring. In this country,
good English is all we need, and no
concessions should be made to any people
in allowing their language to take the
place of it. If another language is &C
quired as an accomplishment, let it be
done out of the public school. We want
nothing but English, and it is to be hoped
that the people waging this unpatriotic
warfare will be overwhelmingly defeated.
