SUGAR BETS AND 9TH Err
CROPS.

The experiments have been made in the
production of sugar beets in this country
outside of California, Utah, Nebraska and
a few other states, where it has been de-
monstrated that under proper conditions
and protection it can become profitable
business, are some thing more than at
| temps to crafty curiosity. The farmers
have been reading reports on the beet,
and have studied the results of expert
ments. The applications for seed at the
Agricultural Department have shown
that the interest in this matter is wide
spread. Not few experiments have
been made by Maryland farmers. There
are millions of acres in the temperate
zone where the beets can be grown. Next
spring experiments will be made on a
| wider scale than ever. 1t has been shown
| that the product of three thousand acres
is sufficient to warrant the erection OF
machinery to make sugar from beets.
The people in the United States con.
sumed for the year ended September 80
last $780, 900 tons of sugar, which was
about fifty three pounds for each person
in the country.
In 1894 this country imported over five
hundred million pounds of beet sugar,
which was valued at nearly sixteen mil
lion dollars. Sensible people want to
know why this sugar cannot be produced
here, and the money spent in buying
foreign sugars kept in the country. The
answer is it can be done if Congress will
give the home growers the proper protec-
ton against foreign competitors, mainly in
Germany, who receive bounty for every
pound exported
The people are becoming interested in
this question, and they will solve it salts
factorily in short time If we produc-
ed the sugar necessary for our needs, over
one hundred million dollars would be
kept at home and distributed among the
farmers and others interested in the sugar
business. If the industry could be we'll
established it would create demand for
machinery which would have salutary
effect on the iron market, and in many
other ways.
Farmers arc beginning to see that other
crops beside corn, wheat and cotton must
be grown. In recent years more atten-
ton has been paid to fruit, and the result
has been satisfactory. To cite cases close
at home, some growers in Virginia and

returns from apples. Everybody knows
what Maryland and Delaware can do
growing peaches and vegetables. And
so the diversity can be carried further
We have good soil, energetic people, and
climate where nearly everything can be
grown in some part or other of the re.

The True Christmas Spirit.

If the true Christmas spirit could
always ard everywhere prevail what a
happy world this would be. If love
always reigned in our hearts and SYM
patty tempered our words and charity
directed our deeds, our lives would be
spent in perpetual sunshine. The
cares and SORROWS of mortal existence,
which must necessarily come sooner or
later, are mitigated by the genial i'll
huence of brotherly love. If men
could always act towards each other in
a truly Christian spirit how much Of
the bitterness of life would be obliter-
ated!
There are some noble characters, the
beneficence of whose lives seems to
mark them as living ever under the
holy influence Of the Christmastide
Such need not the coming of the glori-
Gus anniversary to prompt them to
deeds of love and mercy. Christmas
for them is clothed with perennial
freshness. The strains Of angelic mu-
sic, proclaiming the glad tidings, seems
never to cease ringing in their ears.
Like the symbolic evergreen Christ
mas is to them an endless, unchanging
inspiration to kind words and noble
deeds.
Such lives manifest the true Christ
mas spirit. Charity with them is not
an impulse: it is quality, and is not
strained, but, like mercy, 'droppeth as
the gentle rain from Heaven" We
may initiate them-at least, during
this holy season. The lesson it teaches
is love. Love thy neighbor as thyself
is a divine command, and ''loye is the
fulfilling of the law" Gift-giving at
Christmas is but the outward manifes-
tation of the spirit that reigns within.
We teach the little children that dear
old Santa is their patron saint, and
that he comes, bearing gifts, because
of the tender affection he has for them
Their little hearts in tnrn swell with
love, and later on, if nourished by
Christian principles, that love ripehs
into generous instincts.
We hope that all our readers may
be able to celebrate the Christmas of
1897 with a proper spirit, remembering
that every good gift and every per-
feet gift cometh from above"

IS ENGLAND OUR MASTER!

The Manufacturers Club on Monday
held a meeting in Philadelphia, at which
resolutions were adopted advocating the
creation OF a new cabinet department of
commerce and manufactures.
Papers were read by Charles H. Cramr,
of the Cramp shipbuilding firm, and Theo-
dore c. Search. pre- sident of the National
Organization of Manufacturers. on meth
DDS Of encouraging American sal phuild-
ing. Mr.. Cramp deplored the growth of
English influence in this country He said:
English ideas and doctrines penetrate
every walk of life and every branch of &C
tivity in the United States. At no time
prior to the declaration Of independence,
during the colonial period, was our moral
and intellectual subsection to Great Brit
ain so complete as it is now.
IN my judgment this relation between
England and our country forms the great
est underlying cause of the prevailing
financial and industrial conditions here,
particularly in the shipbuilding industry.
American statesmen and journalists seem
to await expressions of British views on
any subject connected with our national
existence or attitude before making up
their minds. Take, for example, Ha-
waiian annexation. Every American
statesman and newspaper which opposes
annexation is simply pulling English
chestnuts out CT the fire

Mudd would have the disposition of the
patronage of the tobacco warehouses
These offices have always gone tc the

The European War Cloud.

The foreign news indicates that the
peace of Europe is in the balance. The
Chinese government has granted Rus
sia permission to winter squadron at
Port Arthur Great Britain demands
quid pro quo if concessions have been
granted to other powers. Germany
remains unyielding and the Chinese
counsels are said to be divided as to
whether it should be peace OF war with
Germany. China it seems is regarding
Russia as her only friend, and is nego-
tiating loan from her. In return for
favors Russia demands the dismissal OF
the British railroad engineers in North
China, and it is probable that it will
be granted. Russian officers have al
ready been appointed to drill the Chi.
hese army.
Altogether the complications are
quite serious, and all outbreak seems
imminent. If war should come, it will
result in the partition of China.

MK.GORMAN'S RETIREHENT.

In the Senate on Monday Senator Cor
man, chairman of the Democratic Steer
ing Committee, presented an order max
ing some changes in the Democratic rep
resentation on the standing committees Of
the Senate, which was adopted without
debate. The most important change is
the retirement of Senator German from
the Committee on Commerce, the commit
tee having jurisdiction over appropriations
for river and harbor Improvements. AS
soon as the change was announced the
business interests of Baltimore began TO
complain. Maryland is now without rep
reSentation on this committee, and the
Baltimore harbor is not likely to receive
the attention that it formerly did. As the
loss of Mr.. Germans service to Maryland
and the country begins to dawn upon the
people great is the regret that affairs have
taken such a turn and the time is not far
distant when those Democrats who aided
in bringing about his retirement from the
Senate will receive sharp and severe criti-
cism for their work.-Wr (Westminster)
