DIFFUSION, the Sheet Anchor
of Sugar.

The French originated the beet
sugar industry and developed il to
considerable proportions. The thrifty
Germans saw how it was done, and
tried TO do it better, and did it with
diffusion. The conservative French
man stood b, his old. process Of hy-
draulie pressure, and saw the Ger
mans progressing with wondrous
strides and himself being swept aside.
His factories of small capacity and
OF low yields, he thought to be the
best, ebtainable, and SO the beet sugar
industry Of France seemed in q fair.
way for, annihiIation by its German
competitor. ea
Then there quickly came a change.

Louisiana, concerning the success of
diffusion; yet any fair minded man
who reads the papers published in the
recent issues of this journal, that were
read at the last meeting Of the sugar
Planters association, and who reads
our stenogrnphic report of The dis
cnSsion that followed, cannot help
admitting that diffusion is q success
in Louisiana, md that no other meth
I'd should now be adopted by these
who have the means to adopt diffu-
sion.

drawbacks, and what new process

This should not be the case. We

Louisiana has made bold strides

to it is made clear.
Every other country that produces
sugar from tropical cane is now con-

Report of the Executive COMMITTEES: #
Your executive committee would respect
fully reportthat our association has con"
timed it's work as usual for the promotion
of the sugar industry of Louisiana and for
the promotion of all American sugar@ IN"
dustries.
The rapid development Of. the sugar emil
ture and manufacture in Texas and also In
Florida are but the beginning of what will
soon be vast industries in those states.
The great increase in the production OF
sugar from sorghum in Kansas and from
the Beet in California are paving the way
for the early home production Of all the
sugar the nation needs.
Our association has done and iS doing
all it can to promote these results.
In January, in conjunction with the
Sugar exchange; the association sent o de.
legation TO Washington to urge the reten.
ton Of the present duties on foreign
sugars, and much good is hoped to result
therefrom.
The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manu-.
facturer, which was made the official or"
gan of oar association at our last annual
meeting, and which was founded by our
members, is doing immense good in dissem.
mating accurate information in regard to
sugar culture and manufacture, and much
if not the most, of our recent advance IN
sugar culture and m anufacture has come
from its teachings, and many thanks are
due to the gentlem en- selected to conducS
it for the able man n or in which they have
performed that duty.
1t is hoped that the effort Of the asso.

Our sugar experiment station has OeeD
removed to Audubon park, where, with

of its attaining even greater success than
heretofore.

REPORTED ON by A COMMISSION.
In July, 1885, Postmaster-G General Wanna.
maker appointed a commission to investi-
gate these charges and 145 witnesses were
examined and the report of the commission,
covering 115 pages of typewriter copy,
was sent to the Postmaster-General Over
year elapsed before anything was heard
of the matter; but on the oath ult. District
Attorney Carey received instructions to com
mence ! roceedings against the offenders
named in the report OF the commission, john
l.. Meares being the principal one. The mat
ter was Immediately placed before the
Grand Jury with the above results.
Both men deny that there was any force
used in soliciting and assert that every. SUBJ
scription received was given voluntarily,
This plea it is thought will hardly save
them, however, as the section referred to in
the indictment and quoted makes no alusion
to force or inducements being held out, but
only to the simple fact of Soliciting or re-
ceiving" such contributions
Warrants have also been issued for the
arrest of Judson d. Gibbs, who was SUPER
intendent Of Station A, and Henry w.
Butler, formerly Superintendent of the
newspaper division, but neither had been
arrested up to last evening.
