A CHANCE TO RISE.


Washington Letter. :
When Secretary wilkon was reminded not
long ago that there Sire many complaints
in the departments. = lch as "A man will
get to a desk in one Y these buildings and
dry up" or "You gee so far and no fur

drawl: Yes, / have xeard that, bur there
is no excuse for it. S)f course, il a man
gets at one of these tesks and sits there
and does nothing els4 you have said just
what will become ofs him. Now, On the
other hand, take th4 case for instance.
Farmers found a sholS time ago that some
kind of bug was destapying their orchards.
One of the men in tits building referring
to Prof. c. l.. Marlatts of Manhattan, Kan.)
found out that it wTs a certain kind Of
scale injuring the frSit trees. We've got

fessor Marlatt was Confronted by hard
problem. But he fouiH by microscopic ex-
animation and study chat beetle, known
as the ladybird beetleS was the scales nat
ural enemy. He want*d to put ladybirdS in
the orchards of the country to kill the scale.
Professor MarlattS went to Australia.
and after diligent 4arch found lot of
beetles; which he imES,rted. These beetles
didn't prove to be tfy kind for the exter-
mination of the disastrous scale insect.
That seemed discourafing, but he was per-
sistent year after yesT. He went to Japan
and found some beetlfs, but they were not
the kind. He had lot of difficulties.
Finally, after considering the possibility of
tho scales natural ensmy being foreigner
and an American, ana all those things. he
went to China. In aDaout-of- the-way prov
ince he found the SCI lie and its enemy i'm

wall separating Japa3 and China. He Sc
cured sixteen of theflit beetles. They
were carefully brought to this country,
where here at the department they have
been increased to misly thousands. Some
time next year theseSladybird beetles will
be distributed in theforchards throughout
the country, and wi Hin a few years the
pest scale, which cosy the orchardists mi

mail and bring the remote rural localities
into close touch with the life and trade OF
large cities. The cutting off Of the grow
ing abuse of second-cIass matter, inaugu-
rated two years ago, has done much to
make the postal department pay its way
and the further extension of this reform
and the increasing revenues of the rural
delivery routes will, in a few years, bring
the receipts and expenditures of the postal
department very near. While the increase
in the receipts in the rural regions general
ly was pa per cent. last year over the
preceding, in counties In which the system
is complete the increase in revenue during
the past year was 10 per cent. The sale of
money orders and the registration of letters
ard packages will bring a large revenue
The system of registration was scarcely be-
gun before last year, but, at the outset,
1889 letters and packages were registered
by carriers in isolated farming communi-
ties.
The advantages of rural delivery are al
ready appreciated by those who enjoy II,
but no one will now venture to predict the
advantages which the country will derive
from the system. The effect the daily
mail will have upon the greater part of the
country will be so great that it cannot be
realized at present.

Brooklyn Citizen.
Before beet sugar is fit for consumption
il must be refined. The flavor of raw or
brown beet sugar is so Objectionable that the
only buyer of it would be a sugar refner.
For this reason a small home mill. such
il sometimes used for cane or sorghum is
entirely unsuitable for the production of
beet sugar.
The grinding process, both for cane and
the beet root is very intricate. Some people
have an idea that the beet sugar is made
from the ordinary red beet. 1t is the yell
low beet that produces the sugar. After
going through the grinding process and in
being filtered the impurities are extracted
from the Juice, which is boiled in cans to a
grain. 1t is then turned into raw sugar
IL is melted into hogsheads, bags and bas-
kets and sent to the refinery. There the
sugar is placed in melting pan and
pumped to the top of the refinery, where 1t
IS clarified with the aid of phosphate of
lime A altering process follows and the
sugar is run over bone black. The mechan-
ical impurities are extracted by another
altering process and all organic impurities
are removed, too
The sugar is then again boiled to, a grain
and separated in grades. after which 1t Is
transferred to tanks, called coolers, and
thence through centrifugal fumes which

residue the refined sugar, which is driven
into bins and is ready for packing.
There are about sixteen grades OF sugar.

Binghamton On " Leader.
The Fifty-seventh Congress will reas-
semble in a ferT weeks and ii is widely
hoped that part OF its work will be the
passage of the post check currency bills,
which provide for a practical and conven-
lent method of sending small sums of money
by mail. A great deal has been written on
this subject. ane there are few who do not
know that this riethod is simply an issue of
currency that can be circulated as cash and
also be safely seTnitted by mail. because
when mailed IL will be made payable only
TO the person whose name is written in the
blank space thas is left for that purpose.
Under the present money order system
safety can be assured only at the sacrifice
OF convenience and convenience can be
consulted only ,by disregarding the ele-
ment of safetyt The post check plan Is
both convenient and safe, and, being So
II Is just what the public needs in its
line. The business interests and the press
favor it with virtual il not actual unani-
nifty. and. in ;act. the full measure of
popularity ii hae won is a warrant If not
an order, for its adoption by Congress.

tives in Congress to see that more con-
venient money Is furnished the people.

as qualification for suffrage would not
be such an infringement OF the Constitution
of the United States as would affect repre-
sentation in Congress; but there are
large number Of whites who would be dis
franchised by the educational requirement
the Southern statesmen have sought to
save suffrage to white nliterates while dis
franchising the negro. To prevent the dis
franchisement of illiterate whites the Con-
stitution OF Alabama and those of other
States provided that all citizens whose
fathers grandfathers were voters at any
period before the enfranchisement of the
negro shall vote regardless Of illiteracy.
The question of the constitutionality of that
feature of the state Constitution is the
chief one to come before the Supreme Court
of the United States. The forthcoming de-
cision of the court is awaited with much
interest in the South.

which is the more remarkable by reason of
the fact that these bir'vs are not, a rule,

most parrots are rather indstinct and
squawky, but this itEnot the case with
Loretta whose remarks are as clear and

A London cablegram says that the Cana
dian emigration office in that city, recent
ly promoted to the dignity of a special
bureau, is preparing to branch out ex-
tensively in the way of promoting emf
grafton to Canada. The commissioner of
emigration said to representative of the
Associated Press: I'VE expect next year
to place 100000 emigrants in Western Can
ada, and We shall probably draw third
each from the United States. the United
Kingdom and the rest of Europe" 1t will
not be surprising If there should be a very
considerable emigration from the United
States to Canada during the next few
years. Americans are proverbially migra-
tory and the free homestead law and fine
wheat-growing regions of Western Canada
are quite an attraction. Once settled and
brought under cultivation that region may
prove a strong competitor of the United
States in wheat growing. The emigration
of a few hundred thousand enterprising
Americans would not hurt us, and would
tend to promote the coming Americaniza-
ton of the world

NEW GOLD ADVOCATE.
Mexico Is Heauing slowly Toward the
Worlds Standard.

Worlds Standard.
Omaha Bee.
Recent reports from. Mexico are to the
effect that the government is seriously
thinking of establishing the gold stand
ard there. 1t is not contemplated to
make a sudden change from existing cur
rency conditions. but gradually and in
way that will not abruptly and rad
ically disturb ard unsettle business condi-
tions to bring about a financial change
that will place Mexico upon a basis, so
far as her currency is concerned. with
the great commercial nations of the
world.
While Mexico has achieved remarkable
progress, industrially and commercially.
within the last ten or twelve years il is
now recognized by her ablest statesmen
and financiers that in order TO maintain
her progress and to put herself in COM
the rest of the world, it is necessary to
abandon the silver standard and put her
currency upon Che gold basis. Mexico is
now practically the only nation, with the
exception of China. that has not accepted
the gold standard, and the great man at
the head of that republic who understands
that the larger its foreign trade grows
under existing conditions the poorer the
country is becoming. is foremost among
those who advocate a change. In this he
is supported by bis able minister of finance
who has not only most intelligent COM
prehension of thu currency question, but is
in accord with prevailing financial princi-
piles as exempli:ied in the policies of the
leading nations Of the world. Mexico pro-
duces little gold and a great deal of silver,
yet that country Is beginning to understand
that for its commercial interests the gold
standard is essential.
