Molasses as Fuel.

New ORLAENs, July 8.-The large
crop of sugar which Louisiona is raising
this year has greatly complicated the
problem as to what to do with the molas.
ses. With crop of $4,000, 900 pounds
of sugar there will be 100000 barrels,
27,500,000 gallons, or 300,00O,OO0 pounds
of molasses, which the planters do not
know how to get rid of it.
The output of molasses In Louisiana is
now so great there is no market for the
lower grades, and it does not Pay to aell
them. Last year the molasses got down
to 5, 6 and Z cents a gallon, The barrel
in which it was put cost often twice as
much as its contents, and the freight to
New Orleans was great deal more than
the molaases vas worth when it got there.
Consequently many planters gave it away
to any one who would send them barrel
and pay the freight. Others dumped it
in big reservoirs in the hope that the price
would rise. Tens of thousands of gallons
were emptied into the Mississippi River
and Bayou Teche.
The over-production of molasses this
year will be even greater than it was last
year, and the planters are trying to find
some use for an article which formerly
was one of their most valuable products,
but now is nuisance. 1t has been pro-
posed first to manufacture the molasses
into rum OF to use it for fuel. Originally,
most of the Louisiana molasses was made
into rum, but this industry was abandon.
ed almost century ago. The rum pro-
ject to day would involve expense for
machinery, distilleries, etc. It is calcu-
lated that one gallon of molasses should
make gallon of rum, so that the use of
materials for the rum would be to 7
cents gallon, and Louisiana would be
able to turn out 20,000,000 gallons OF rum
annually. There would be great profit in
this, but as the industry is new one, and
it would require considerable capital and
skilled labor, and the planters need all the
labor they have In the sugar plantations,
it is not likely to be tried on any large
scale.
More remarkable is the proposition of
the Planter, the organ of the sugar in
terests here, that the molasses should be

sugar house. It calculates that molasses
would be much cheaper than the cheap
est coal, and would be good fuel. Here
Is its calculation on this subject.
'The lowest grade of vacuum pan mo-
lasses contains from 20 to as per cent. of
sugar, which cannot be extracted by ex-
listing machinery. Estimating barrel Of
such molagses to be worth, net, 30 cents
or 81, and a barrel TO hold $50 pounds Of
molas5es, the molasseB would be worth
one or two cents gallon and from Ill
to Is cents pound. Pittsburg coal,
brought to the sugar house furnace, has
for about ten years cost 1.5 cents per
pound"
This molasses burns with high heat
In combination with wood or wood fibre,

(the dry gtalka of the sugar cane after the
Haccharine Juice has been pressed from 1T
an excellent fuel of great heat power is
obtained. In this way, estimating that
only one half the molasaes produced is
used for fuel, a substitute will be fur
nished for 10000 to 10000 tons of coal.

The speech which Congressman Crisp,
of Georgia, made at the Tammany cele-
bration in New York, July 4, was an e1-
cellent one, and is being commented upon
very favorably. In speaking of the De-
mocracy he said: ;"The Democratic party
is the party of the people. If ne are
united and earnest and tireless in our eff
forts at the next election we will triumph
all along the line, and for the first time in
thirty years will be in condition to make
laws for the people. We can elect q
President, Senate and House of Rep
resentatives. Then our responsibility will
begin; then ne can do much for the re-
lief of the people, then We can, amply
caring for the interests of labor, greatly
diminish taxation, reduce, public expen-
,diture, restore our commerce, foster our
agriculture, encourage our manufactures,
and thus bring to the masses of the
American people that prosperity to which
|. they have long been strangers, and that
peace and contentment which prosperity
alone can bring"

what exceptionally good health he is en-

than he has been for years. Mr.. Blaine
will likely be here, and, sick or we'll, get
the Republican nomination for the Pres

while the..idol of his party and ambitious
in his Presidential aspirations, like Web

without the distinguished honor of being

The European news is again taking on
sthe hue of war. France is reported as
preparing for an early conflict. Of course
Germany is the antagonist she is anxious
sto grapple with. It is said that France
,ssYilI make an urgent attempt to form az
8 Alliance with Russia. In case Of war
France wants the Bear to keep its great
paw ont of the conflict. But Russia does
mot appear to be particularly favorable at
this time to such an arrangement. Why,
SIS not perhaps known. At any rate, ac-
scording to- news from Paris, an alliance
will be asked for during the visit Of the
French squadron to Cronstadt. Ifa war
comes, and all the powers stand of and
slet. Germany and France fight it out alone
I'VE do not think it will be Germany that
sWill be the first to ask for peace.

step in the right direction, and is way
