ABOUT SUGAR BETS.

This week we print a very interest
ing interview with I. =. Collins, one
of Speakers thriving farmers, upon
the subject of the sugar beet. 1t sure
~ is subject to which our farmers
should give attention at this time.
The interview brings out what one of
their own number thinks upon the
question. Let others also express
their views on the subject. Our col
umns are always ready to serve the
interests of the public in that way,
For the matter is truly of great inter-
est to us all, rs community. If it is
50, that experiment has proven that
our soil is unusually well adapted
10 this crop, why not raise it and
produce our own sugar i'll this country
rather than be compelled to import
it at higher rates? The logic is good.
How the result may he remains for us
to find out. And any thing which
promises to afford us better means of
living, should be thoroughly investi-
gated.

YOURSELF TO BLAME.

Don't blame your neighbor or your
ueighbor acts for the result of the
election last Monday. 1t is quite a
habit with some people after election
to lay the whole fault for an unfor-
tunate result upon some act of this
or that person. They say that eff"
such and such had not been the case,
"our ticket would have been carried"
Now the fact that somebody really
djG something and it turned out bad
is hardly cause for blame. The fact
il only zoo evident that the trouble
with you all is that gan did not do
anything. If you as members of Il
party, had all done something, learnt
your neighbOr's views before the caucus,
taken thought, and planned some
definite course Of action, then there
would have been no danger of discord-
ant factions pulling at each other at
random. There was the trouble.
Don't do too much talking now. This
is not the time. II also shows you are
hardly man if you cannot take Il
defeat bravely, and acknowledge it.
Ii you feel chagrined, begin to cor
rect the failing i'll yourself. Take
some action that you may not meet
the same defeat ut another time. For
the present make the best out Of eX-
isung circumstances. If such a course
is pursued there will be no such in
stances again Of "blind leading the
blind There will be united action
on the part of united forces.

THE RESULT.

Mn. HoDGINs, Mr.. LUTz, and Mr..
HARRIS are deserving of congratula-
ton for the explicit confidence the
people place in them as shown by
their votes last Monday. They are
sent back to another years tenure of
Office with even greater majorities
than elected them last year. 1t can
not be disguised that they have all
won signal victories. We are glad of
it; as we are glad to see anyone
achieve success 10y unstinted effort.
They all went before the people with
determination to win. They worked;
while those men who were up 10 OPP
pose them rested. A spasmodic effort
at the very last moment would not
withstand the onsetting current. The
whole policy OF the Republican party
leaders of the township was blunder.
They refused to carefully plan the
campaign. They allowed u ticket
to be put before the people, which
they themselves could not unanimous
ly sanction. In the light Of past re-
cords of politics in the township, it
surely was astonishing to see the calm
indifference shown by some before
election in regard to the ticket to be
nominated. : seems to be the prcva-
lent opinion in the party that the
people are pack of hungry dogs who
will run after any bone thrown ut
them. We sincerely hope the folly of
this manner OF conducting campaigns
has been clearly demonstrated. 1t
should now be thoroughly under
stood by the republican leaders that
if they wish 70 retain the party in the
old ranks they must do something
besides dream Of old victories. The
energy shown by our opponents il
surely worthy OF our example. They
left no Stone uAtIrned before election.
Our own apathy accomplished the
rest, and defeated us completely.
The sloatulul manner in which the
township campaign was conducted
also worked us another and more
culpable damage. The township can
MT nJw be considered Republican.

The state victory is surely matter
for hearty congratulation to the Re-
publican party. 1t is Enthusiastically
the reproof of an outraged people.
The Democratic party, in its short SUI
premacy, has made anything but II
laudable record. A few good measures
have been taken, it may be. But the
record of the party az u whole has been
disgraceful. The steal in the Senate
was an insult to the majority of the
people. Other measures have been
equally bad. But now the old party
has been endorsed again. The ques-
ton then is, shall its record between
now and 1892 be such as to gain a vic.
tory then at the hands of the people,
or not? It is to be hoped it will be,
There are dishonorable forces in the

In regard to the little kernel of truth
in rhyme which was published last
week in our columns, we might say
now, the Editor of the EXPosIToR him
self did not have enough of chat bles-
sed conceit TO thrust such mixture of
foolishness upon II suffering public as
appeared last week in our little con-
temporary. We do not labor under the
delusion that we are poets, and should
advise our friends to undeceive them
selves on this score. If you wish to
speak in poetry do, for the sake of
your literary reputation, get a poet to
write for you.
