ENCOURAGING FACTS FoR sueAR PRODUCERS.

Some figures published lately of tho rapid increase
in the consumption of sugar in this country and Eu
rope afford much for encouragement to those
sections of United States that are now engaged in
raising sugar cane the sugar beet that can be
made TO produce such crops.
It is shown in the figures referred TO that for the
world, a whole the consumption of sugar has dou-
bled durng the past fifteen years, thus creating a
profitable demand for double the amount produced in
1885. In Great Britain the annual consumption per
capita is eightysix pounds, three times as
much as 1t was during our civil year In the United
StateS notwithstanding our rapidly growing and very
large population, the annual consumption per capita is
steadily increasing, and stands at about sixty
five pounds per capita. The main fact Of encourage
inent to the sugar planter Is this continuous increase
repa in consumption not only in the two great
using nations OF the world, but in all coun-
which statistics have been obtained
at not only is the expansion of population
constantly charging market for sugar but
heng further steadily improved by the growing
pa capita use
The United States import by far the larger amount
aunned and likely to do so for many years yet
u ONE. In these facts, therefore are embraced the
incentive to our native growers. especially to
largely Increase their acreage with absolute conf
dence that there is little danger ahead that their pro
duct viii not be in good demand and a ready seller
The Post has long desired to sec the rich sugar
uelt o the leNos coast region more generally devel
oped. Rice is all right oil is a great help But We
have possible wealth in great quantities in our sugar
lands and in the multiplication OF sugar mills and re
hneries. Our people have until very recently been
sleeping on their opportunities in the direction iudi
Gated, Even reciprocity with Cuba or free sdaar
from our new possessions will be able 90 supply
The American demand for sugar to the extent of rem
dering it an Improbable domestic product
What o0ght to do in this section is TO strive In
old I,,,
without giving undue attention to any one to the neg
lect of another

THE LESSON TAUGHT AT ALBANY.

Since the terms of the agreement have been made
known by which the street railway strike at Albany
was settled the public have been asonished at the
comparatively trihing differences between the com.
pany and the which were permitted to lead to
80 much cost, rlotng and bloodshed
No important principle whatever II appears was
Involved, but simply disagreement on such details
ms the hours OF work and the change of cent or two
In the rate of wages. But two men were killed val.
liable and respected citizens scores OF Others were
badly injured the company lost over 500 900 the men
about $25,OO0 the State put to a large expendi.
tnre and the people of the towns affected to immense
inconvenience and annoyance for days all through
the bulheadedness and recklessness of two parties
TO quarrel In the operation of public franchise
The American people are indeed patient and
submissive public.
Neither the street railway magnates nor their en-
poyes had any right whatever moral or legal ia mt
the public to the trouble and inconvenience which
were experienced for days. 1t was a public service
which was in dispute, based upon grants from the
public The citizens OF Albany generally had vested
and equal rights In the premises with the company and
It's employees. These public rights were dsregarded
with the utmost recklessness il not contomnt nv
those who We're struggling over really unimportant
issues. There was no reason in the world why the
agreement which finally adopted should not have
been made before the strike ever occurred or Al least
Immediately after it occurred.
The affair has had the effect very naturally of firm
ing the attention of the public again to the necessity
OF measures for protecting the public in the peaceful
and continuous enjoyment of public utilities Com
pulsory arbitration is the remedy The courts could
easily enforce their DEGREES. The holders of fran.
chfses could be disciplined through forfeiture of rho
franchise, il they disregarded the mandates of the
conrts Strikers could not be compelled to 90 to work
II they did not want to- possibly heavy statutory
penalties could be imposed enforced by the courts
any Interference, OF whatever nature was attempted
with those who wanted to work
The sovereign power of the States could easily
handle the question OF compulsory arbitration In cases
Of this qasipublic character wore it not for the
good nature Of the American people on tho one hand
and the moral and political cowardice OF legislators

A NEGLECTED. CROP.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Though the South already produces greater variety Of
crops than any other section of this country she has by
reached the limit of her possible agricultural
t and many her present crops could be increased with
great profit
One Of these is the subject of bulletin just issued from
the United States department of agriculture,
1t discusses nteigenty and practically the numer-
varieties of the potato the best methods of their
cultivation the climates and soils best adapted to each the
ways OF cooking them the proper canning them the
methods OF dessicang potatoes and making potato flour
The canning of potatoes comparatively new in
dustry but has already become important being en-
larged every season.
The regions where the potato not grown furnish
immense market for canned potatoes and they coming
into great favor there big demand for them has been
established in Northwestern States and Canada
The department has large quantities of canned
potatoes to troops the Philippines finds that they
wholesome food The manufacture of sweet potato
flour is conducted large scale and the demand for
that article is increasing very fast
Several companies for the manufacture of potato flour
have recently been organized in New Jersey The Geore
sweet potato far superior to that OF New Jersey and is
better adapted dessicaon The secretary OF agriculture
thinks that the increasing Importance the sweet potato
industry is OF special Importance to the South by reason of
the hne quality OF the sweet potato grown this section
There is no doubt that the scientific cultivation OF sweet
potatoes on larger scale in the South and the canning and
conversion OF them into -four would pay
There great possibilities for our farmers in sweet no.
ato culture Those who interested in this subject would
do wei to write to the department agriculture for copies
OF the bulletin we have referred 1t printed for free
distribution.

At the first OF the monthly conferences on child
Associate Alumne of the Normal College. the sub

DR.. Conant opened the discussion by outlining
briefly the scope of child study. She said:
This topic be approached from many sides

pedagOgic and others | shall limit myself
to the much disputed question. Should the teacher
study psychology? For l take it for granted that
the study Of the chd's mind psychogenesis, is
the study of psychology. If mind is to be devel-
oped. brains to be used How needful, then. to
the teacher some knowledge of the wonderful con-
nection between brain and mind. What is meant
by the stream Of consciousness? The mind IS to
be thought Of series of ever changing proc
osses, not object with many qualities
If teachers could once understand these facts
they would cease to treat the child a pitcher to

for many hours a day during the best and most
impressiOnable years Of the child's life can make
that environment.

upon this question in its relation TO the restless

the exercise began without fatigue. For example,
after thirty lifts of the weight the muscle required
