could be grown in Virginia rich enough

been concIusively demonstrated. but the
experiments thus far made are most en-
couraging and sufficiently so to awaken
the keenest interest in this community.

The question Is fun Of interest for the
farmer and the city man and should have
earnest and intelligent attention.

Major Ginlnr.s Examine.

The death Of Major Lewis Ginter, at his
home in Richmond, on Saturday Octo-
Der I'd, removes the richest man In the
state OF Virginia and one or the most
public spirited men in the United States
His life illustrates that tho location or
man has very much more 10 do with his
principles than the abstract questions
involved. He came to Richmond at me
age OF eighteen years from the State OF
New York. and when the war broke out
ne entered the Confederate army ana
served with distinction. Had he remain
ed In New York he would have fought on
the other side and have combatted every
principle and conviction for which he
staked his life.
His successes and failures show that no
hour Is so dark but what there Is iight
beyond. After the war he and party

ooNrIIcrING pLArroRMs.

The Sound Money Democrats OF Mas
sachusettes are coming in for their share
OF abuse n refusing to follow the lead OF
The Hon. George Fred Williams and his
free Silver associates. But when we take
a glance backward at the party's doings
during the past two years. we cannot see
how any reasonable man. whatever his
politics be, can rebuke the Sound Money
Democrats OF Massachusetts, for refusing
10 cast their lot with the free silver party.
In 1895 the Massachusetts, Democracy
stood for sound money, and on the uues-
tion OF currency said:
I'VE reafirm the demands of our plat
form Of lest year, that the government
shall not carry on banking business; thai
the untaxed notes OF State or national
banks shall be the only credit currency,
and that the government shall. with the
development OF a banking system ade-
ouate TO the demands OF trade. retire as
rapidly as possible all its paper money"
Mr.. Williams stood upon that platform
and stumped tho state against Hon.
Frederick T. Greenhalge. When the
Massachusetts, Convention was held in
1896 to elect delegates to the Chicago Con-
ventlon II was also in favor of sound
money. The platform adopted this year,
however, and the platform upon which
Mr.. Williams now stands reverses the
position OF the Democracy and upon the
subject OF currency, and makes this pro-
nouncement:
'"The greenbacks Issued by the govern
ment have proved the countrys best
paper money. and should not be Cancelled.
There can be no privilege more dangerous
than the control Of our currency supply
by private bankers. and we stoutly OPP
pose their attempt 10 strengthen such a
monopoly by the Substitution Of bank
notes for our national notes.
Now let us ask in ell candor who has
changed. the Sound Money Democrats Of
Massachusetts,, or those who control the
party organization? is q man to have no
opinion OF his own? Is he to have no
party principle? is he TO be one
thing this year and another ching next
year simpl! because the party organ.za-
ton changes its position? Democracy is
living principle and Democratic prin-
c,pIes cannot be changed from year to
year according TO tho whims OF an organ
lzation calling itself the Democratic
party. There is but one course Cor the
conscientious man to pursue and that is
10 stand by his principles 40 matter
whittier the party organization may stray.

SUGAR BEFrsIN VIRGINIA.

We learn from correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun mat Captain Orris a.
Browns. manager of the famous Holly
wood Place truck farm, near Cape
Charles CITY, on the Eastern Shore, has
made some interesting experiments dur
ing the past year with the sugar beet.
According TO this correspondent, the yield
was 1901 pounds per acre. and the chem
ical analysis made by the Agricultural
Department at Washington shows that
the Valnorin variety OF beets grown on
Hollywood Place contains 1874 per cent.
OF sugar. while the juice contains 1870
per cent, and the correspondent ADDS:
rho result is very encouraging, as IT
shows that the beets grown on this farm
contain a larger per cent. OF sugar than
can be obtained on tho beet lands OF
Ohio and Wisconsin. From official data
gotten from the United States Depart
mont Of Agriculture It is learned that
the average per cent OF sugar obtained
from beet juice IN fifty-nine counties Of
Wisconsin during the last three years
was l2.4i, while ninteen counties Of ohio
show an average per cent. of sugar from
beet Juice OF l2e5. Captain Browne feels
much encouraged over the results OF his
experiment and thinks that the farm
ers Of the Eastern Shore Of Virginia
have now the opportunity OF engaging
