The Hon. John II. Reagan, now presi-
dent of the Board OF Railroad Commits
sioners of Texas, announces that ne is
n candidate for the United States Senate.
He states that the Railroad Commission
Is now in fine working order; that there
fore his services may well be spared
from Il, and that he desires to return TO
the Senate. In conclusion. ne asks that
some method may be adopted by which
the people OF the State shall instruct
their representatives on the senatorial
question. Furthermore, he says he means

SO ne will visit every county
The Democrats of Texas have not yet

do not know whether primary election
would suit her people or not. But here
In Virginia the suggestion that has been
made that our party adopt the primary
election method as its manner OF nomi-
mating senators meets with great popu-
lar approval. We have heard Of no pub
lie man who is opposed TO the PROPOSE

We do not know exactly how the sub

convention, but we doubt not that IL

Tho death OF Attorney-General X.
Tavlor Scott was unexpected. 1t was
known. OF course, that he had been ILL.,
hut the public had been led to believe
his condition was much improved. IL
was only on Thursday night that the
news came here that he was sinking
and Yesterday morning intelligence
reached us that he was dead.
Major Scott will be mourned through
mt this Commonwealth, and those VINO
had the clearest insight into his
life will mourn him most. The
nearer one got to him, the better
and bigger the man appeared. The
closest proximity TO him revealed 10
searching eyes an unblemished charac-
fer. He had a good heart, an amlable
dispositlon. and an intellectual capacity
,nd professional skill which entitled him
90 rank among Virginia's most successful
acknowledgement. Coming Of a family
DISTINGUISHED in the annals of this state
and born and reared in community noted
for gallant men, he proved himself the
,do,, tvpe OF a Virginia gentleman.
K,ndnens. modesty, courtesy, and cour-
age were virtues strongly developed III
him. He won his spurs as an ofiicer OF
Picketrs Division, and no member OF
that noble band was ever heard to speak
90 him but with the respect which is
only accorded a hero.
Eight years ago Major Scott became
the candidate Of our party for Attor-
ney-General, TO which Office he was duly
elected The record Of his service in
that position is marked with numbers OF
intricate and embarrassing eases that
had TO be argued before the high
est courts OF the land. and his success

oeachable testimonial to his fidelity anc
ability as a lawyer.

The United States Consul at Magde-
burg. Saxony. Germany. writes to the
State Department at Washington That
beet-sugar factory sites should be erected
only in localities where it has been
demonstrated beyond doubt that sugar
beets can be grown successfully. Expe-
rience has shown that the sugar Deet
grows in almost any soil, provided the
proper fertilizer is applied, yet, he says
II would be a mistake TO attempt to RAISE
beets on poor lands. A rich, deep SOIL
with q porous, wel-drained subsoil, should
be selected. If the climatic conditions
are such that the beets are assured OF
abundant moisture, rain, or irrigation ior
the first three months, then limited
amount of moisture and dry, sunny wea-
Their for the last thirty days. such lahdS
are well adapted for the culture OF the
beet. 1t is Of great Importance, he con-
tinucs. that the last thirty days be dry
and sunny: wet weather at this perlou
will start a second growth in the beetS
at the expense Of the saccharine contents.
Farmers should experiment to ascertain
beyond doubt that they have lands suit
able for beets. 1t is not necessary 10
plant large areas; small patches here
and there will answer for experimental
purposes, and in this way large district
can be covered without obtaining an ac-
emulation of beets. During the expert
ments the harvested beets can be used to
feed live stock.
The factory should be easily accessible
TO the farmers. and should, therefore, be
situated in the heart of the district from
which it draws it's beets. Besides beets'
the principal materials needed TO run a
sugar factory are water, fuel, and lime
stone. There must be a bountiful sup
plv of water to wash the beets, to feed
the boilers. and for general use. Coal or
oil for fuel and limestone used in the
purification OF the beet juices must be
close at hand or easily and cheaply pro-
| durable by rail or water.
The cossetts, from which the sugar has
been extracted, make excellent food fol-
live stock. 1t is, therefore, advisable &c
combine the fattening of cattle with the
manufacture of beet sugar.

In the Geographical Journal OF July is
an article by Mrs. Bishop giving an ac-
count Of her recent journey in Western
China. Mrs. Bishop bears remarkable
testimony "to the capacities, resource
fulnes,, and enterprise Of the Chinese
who live beyond the influence Of white
civilization" Among other things she
says that these Western Chinese long
ago grasped the idea that the prosperity
of a country depends largely upon its
roads, and frequent method of display
ing local patriotism is for a man to pre-
sent a road to his district. Certainly
this is an instance in which civilization
in some parts Of this country might learn
from the heather Chnee.
