The Sugar Beet in Virginia.

From present indications the intro
duct1on of the sugar beet as q crop in
Virginia will be very successful. At
the opening Of the season 500 pounds
of sugar beet seed well distributed
throughout the entire eastern part of
the State by the State Department
of Agriculture, and the product has
just begun to come in. For this reas
on it is difficult to say what the re-
suits. as a whole, will be, but some of
specimens have stood very satisfac
tory analysis. These specimens came
from the farm of Mr.. G. G. Branch at
Toano, in Charles City county; and
Dr.. Henry Froeling, who made the
tests, was very much pleased with
results obtained. The greatest fault
was found with the size of the beets,
as they ranged in weight from two
to three pounds. This is considered
too large and to promote the produc-
tion of smaller beets the department
will in the future recommend close
planting OF the seed and no thinning
out or transplanting. Superintend-
ent Lynn, of the State Penitentiary,
has two acres of the sugar beets at
the State Farm. His crop is consid-
cred very fine. but as yet no speci-
mems have been sent in for analysis.
Should the cultivation of the beets
be success a lucrative trade will,
no doubt, spring up here in connec-
ton with their manufacture, as it is
one of the peculiarities of this vege-
table, that they will not stand trans
portation, and have to be refined
near where grown,-The State.

Daniel TO O'FerraIl.

The Lynchburg (ya.) News OF Sat,
urday printed letter from United
States Senator John W Daniel, re-
plying to certain statement MADE
by Governor O'Ferrall, in his recently
published interview. In his inter
view Governor O'Ferrall says that
Senator Daniel offered q resolution IL
the Senate commanding MIR. Cleve-
lands course in connection with the
suppression of the Chicago riots, and
later was member of the committee
on resolutions at the Chicago con
yention, when that committee de.
nounced Mr.. Cleveland for doing the
very thing for which Senator Daniel
had praised him.
The Senator denies that he was a
member of the committee on resolu-
tions at Chicago, or that there was a
plank in the platform denouncing
MIR. Cleveland. He declares that the
clause in the Chicago plank denoun
cling arbitrary interference by federal
authorities in local affairs was not
regarded by Mr.. Cleveland's friends
in the convention as having reference
to his action during the Chicago riot.
I'm fact" says the Senator. II am
informed all reference to Mr.. Cleve-
land was expressly disclailned, and
Mr.. Atgeld. to whom the plank has
been imputed, was not member of
the committee and had nothing to do
with it. "
In conclusion of this point, Senator
Daniel says be has always defended
Mr.. Cleveland for protecting the post
routes and mails from mob violence
by United States troops.
Senator Daniel then continues:
What does the Governor think OF a
public officer, who during many
terms of service in Congress, votes
every time for free and unlimited sill
yer coinage at 16 to land becomes
Governor through canvass in which
he boasts of his ardent devotion to
the principle, and of having voted
for it many times in one day at Ii to
l, II to /, Is to 1, 10 to l, 20 to lin
deed, at all the ratios proposed-and
who, after he is in office, heaps de-
nunciation and opprobrium on those
who stand by the doctrine which he
so often upheld, and declares that
the idea with which he was so long
and notably identified, is not demo
cratic, but born in populistic coun
cils?' "

Hon. William ]. Bryan, in letter
to the st. Louis Post dispatch. the
first utterance after three months of
travel and observation during the re.
turn Of prosperity, among other
things Gays: wheat has risen because
the foreign crop has been exceeding
ly short. The fact that silver and
wheat have parted company will
cause no dismay to those who under
stand that the law of supply and de-
mand regulates the price OF both.
Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican position
than the joy manifested by the Re-
publicans over events for which their
Administration are in no wise re-
sponsible.
If the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the high price of wheat
they must assume the responsibility
for the famine in India. A great rise
in price should be followed by rise
in wages
MIR. Bryan says that the joy over
the increase Of money from wheat is
evidence that we have too little
money; that if the farmers are bene-
fitted by the rise in one of their pro
duets, how much better would it be if
the rise was universal; that the price
of wheat will fall when the foreign
demand becomes normal, and that
the present spasmodic rise will aid
rather than injure the cause of BIZ
metalism.

The Confederate reunion at Parks
ley next Thursday calls for the ear
nest encouragement and active sup
port of every Eastern Shoreman, who
loves the Lost Cause and the noble
heroes who lost their lives in defence
of it. 1t should be day long to be
remembered in the coming years, and
it will be one which we will be glad
to recall, if by our efforts and
through our aid on that day, the
funds now in hand can be sufficiently
supplemented for the erection OF the
monument to our fallen braves with
out further delay. Their splendid
valor and heroic deeds long since de
manded that the shaft be raised TO
commemorate their virtues, and it
cannot be postponed longer, If we
would not bring reproach upon our
selves of being false to them and
untrue to the cause for which they
fought and died. The monument, Of
course, will be erected to our Confed-
crate dead at later day, if not now,
and in sufficient proportions to be
worthy of them and TO show to
future generations the affectionate
regard in which they were held by
us, and contributions to that end will
not be wanting from any who value
patriotism, self-sacrificing devotion
to duty and the priceless heritage OF
their honored names to their kin
dred and their kindred's children
Sufficient funds for that purpose,
however, ought to be raised at Parks
ley next Thursday and we most
heartily second the appeal of Har-
manson-West camp, for every one
is held success.

Consul-General Lee, accompanied


Consul-General Lee, accompanied
by his sou and his private secretary,
arrived in New York last Wednes-
day. 1t is not believed in
Washington that General Lee will
return to Cuba in an official capacity.
1t is reported that Gen. Lee came
home to look after his interests in
the contest for Senator Martins seat
or to confer with the members of the
Board of Visitors of the University
of Va, with reference to accepting
the presidency of that institution.
Whatever his object. the public will
doubtless be with him in furtherance
of his aspirations.

Hon. John E. Massey is not now
nor has ever been a favorite with us,
but disloyalty to the South and her
institutions has not been one of his
sins. 1t was ungenerous, therefore,
for him to have been criticised so Sc
verely as he was by R. E. Lee Camp
Sons Of Veterans for employing as a
teacher a man who said that Jeffer-
son Davis was now being looked on
as Benedict Arnold or Aaron Burr.
The charge against him in that re-
spect was two unjust to do him any
harm, and as was expected, has
already been almost forgotten.
