The Sugar of the Future.

Charlotte Observer.
The press reports a marked IN
terest at present in the growth OF
sugar beets in the United States.
The area in which cane is grown
IS so small as to furnish very
small percentage of the sugar
consumed in this country, the an
nual value of which is placed at
500, 600, 900 and the bulk of our
cane sugar comes from other
countries, supplemented by the
beet sugar Of Europe. Discussing
the subject The Philadelphia
Times says:
s.There is vast area in which
beets can be grown, and some very
Interesting experiments are now
in progress destined to decide
whether beet sugar can be profit
ably produced in the United
ates. California has led the way
in these experiments, chiefly
through the enterprise of Claus
Spree kels, and the crop of beet
So gar from that State for the
present year is estimated at As,
900 tons. To the surprise of the
uninitiated Michigan has followed
close upon the heels of California
in this new industry. Toe beet sa-
gar factories in that ST tie are nine
10 number and the present year S
output is estimated at l 900 tons
There Will be two new factories in
operation this year IN Colorado,
one in Illinois, one in Nebraska
and one IN Washington, and it is
expected that there will be two
new ones erected in Indiana, two
in Iowa, one in Ohio, one in New
York, one in Virginia, one il
Colorado, one in California ano
three in Nebraska next year.
We do not see why North Car
DINA should not be included in the
list of States in which sugar beets
can be successfully grown, Prett,
certainly the day CT cane sugar is
passing and beet sugar is takins
it's place. It is lacking in saceha'
rine matter, and the European
traveller is struck with the fac
1 that the Jumps are larger ano
| more of them are required fol
Ecoffee or tea than of the sugar II
common use in this country, bu
no ether difference is detected
for sugar is sugar. In this mat
Eter, too, coal tar has become com
petitor of both cane and beets,a higl
grade of sugar now being extracted

He must learn what it likes and dis
likes. ASH have indicated, it likes
villains-and it certainly ought to
haye them. IF I ever write another

THE ELECTIONS.

The Result of Tuesdays cleo
tions may fairly be called a dog
fall.
Of the twelve States in which
elections were held there were
over four in which the result
was in doubt. These were Ohio,
Kentucky, Nebraska, and Mary=
land. OF these States upon which
Interest in the result mainly con-
centrated the Democrats carried
two and the Republicans two.
This is a distinct Democratic
gain, because all four of these
States are now in control of the
Republicans The result in Ohio
is not surprising and should
have been foreseen by any one
who had studied the situation.
Ohio is naturally a Republican
State. In addition to this it is at
present the home State of the
President and by every means
possible the Influence of the ad-
ministration was cast for the
State Republican ticket. The
President himself leaving the
white house and going to distant
Canton to vote. The Republican
committee sent letters to every
federal official and appointee beg
ging contributions to "help save
the Presidents State" This
smacked of blackmail and was
so clearly in violation of the
civil service law that the COM
mittee which was thus trying to
squeeze corruption money out
of the cffice holders from Maine
to California was officially in
formed that iIS memberS had
laid themselves liable to prose-
cution. In State with nearly
a million voters there will be
found always large number of
purchasable voters, and the
time has never been within the
las thirty year when the bu K
Of the boz die was not in Repub-
,can hands.
The result il Z -nIucky Tues
day does not show thai Kentucky
is Republican State. It. simply
proves that the nomination of
Goebel for governor carried a
fatal split in the Democratic
party.
The methods by which Goebel
was nominated were So odious
and his own personality aud res
cord wsre so Objectionable
To many Democrats that they
fatty refused to accept him
as their candidate and organ
ized a bolt. It was not a bolt
on national issues; the cur
rency question bad nothing to do
with it.
The initiators of the bolt, its
leaders and managers and most
of it's candidates were free silver
meu. John Young Brown, their
uominee for governor, is one OF
the most ex rene of free silver
advocates. as is Congressman W
c. P. Breckenridge, who edits
the newspaper which Tough
Goebel most fercely, and in ex
| Congressman W. G. Owens, who
defeated Breckinridge for con
gress in 1894.
The defeat of the regular Dam
ocratic ticket in Kentucky il
simply a repetition of the rebuk'
which has been so often admin
istered to their party by boil
|, Democrats and Republicans whel
, the party organization fell int
the hands of men who could no
} command the full confidence o
the party and who resorted T.
schemes which a large per cent
: of the party could not indorse o
, tolerate.
The Democracy while it re
grets the loss of Ohio and sti
more it's defeat in Kentucky, ha
, great cause to rejoice over il
brilliant victories in Marylan
and Nebraska.
