The Maine Beet Sugar Company say to the farm
ers OF that State that the question of future opera
uons 'all depends on the 1900 of beets," the
product of that surface being necessary to supply
material for the years manufacture. Whether the
farmers will give much space to the crop for "S5
per gross ton of 24O pounds delivered the near
est railroad station centerng at Portland" remains
TO be seen One speaker at the meeting of the Maine
Board of Agriculture is reported in The Bangor WHO
as expressing the belief that it would pay better to
feed the beets or, in other words that 'the crop
sold should be we-fed cattle, rather than roots at
that price"


From the foregoing, which we clip from the
New York Tribune, it would appear that the
raising of beets for the purpose of making
sugar is by no means a remunerative business
to the farmers of the State of Maine. Indeed
we are astonished that farmers would engage
in the business at all when all they can realize
from ton of beets is but SIS. We are not in
formed how many tons of beets can be raised
upon an acre of ground in Maine, but it is
plain that the best informed persons in the
East, think that it is more profitable to feed
their cattle on beets than to manufacture them
into sugar. In another column of this issue
will be found an article on the production of

our readers an idea of the small quantity of
sugar raised in all the States, compared with
the consumption of the latter country. The
population of the States is now abo ut As, ,oOO.
900, and increasing with great rapidity. The
increase of population is being greatly accele-
rated by an unusual tide of immigration pour
ing into America from all parts of Europe this
present season, and this, with the natural in
crease, is swelling the population very fast.
This fact only shows that the consumption of
sugar will grow in like ratio with the popu-
lation, and thus market is sure for all that
can be raised from countries where sugar
culture is one of the staple products, as on
these Islands. Sugar is not only luxury
but necessity without which people could
not get along very well, and hence the en-
couragement to our planters to push ahead
and make all the sugar they can, knowing that
there will always be demand for all they
can produce, The United States being our
next door neighbor will eagerly purchase all
the sug ar hese Islands can produce, even if
every acre of sugar land were now under cul-
tivation. If capitalists would only turn their
eyes towards these Islands and invest few
millions of their idle capital here their reward
would be not only swift but sure. There is
ample room here for the investment of $2O,-
100000 of capital in sugar culture alone.

Washington, April 29.-The customary adjourn
ment of the House upon the announcement of the
death of Representative Clark prevented the reading
of the Presidents veto message at the Capitol to-day
but since its publication in the evening newspapers
il has been the aabsorbing topic of conversation in
Washington political circles, and has given rise to
much excited feeling. Republicans are universally
delighted with the message and generally say that
in point of ability and effective presentation of the
position upon which they intend to stand before the
country, it has far exceeded their expectations
Democrats insist that the Presidents argument de-
nyng the necessity Of any further legislation to pre-
vent military interference with elections is not con-
elusive but that, the contrary it is evasiye of the
merits Of the main question involved in the pending
bill. They cOncede, however, that the message as
whole, is strong document, and likely to produce
an effect upon the country, which will make the
maintenance of their present attitude in Congress
upon this question matter of at least debatabe ex
pediency. To days veto has Enthusiastically siren 9Th
ened the chances for the adoption of the plan of post
poning the final settlement of the present
until next Winter by means Of extension of last
years appropriations. Speaker Randall is now in
favor of this of action, and his influence is
likely to prove extremely powerful in securing its
adoption.


There are many speculations tonight as to the
course of the majority in Congress upon the veto
message. 1t is regarded as very probable that
caucus will be held to morrow evening and some
definite expression be promulgated. Nothing that
can be regarded as sufficiently authoritative has yet
been uttered.

The general impression at the State capi-
tai seems to be that the legislative session
will be long and Improbable to the State.
The presence of so many new and inexpe-
rienced members on the floor will tend to de-
lay matters, though the shrewd old Demo-
cratic parliamentarians will doubtless be hap.

of the Honse.-Indeed- -tAe-new men will
learn a great deal this winter that
they now little suspect. 1t is the priyi-
lege ofyouth to buy by experience at good
round price, and our Greenback friends will
have clearer idea of the exchangeable val
ues than they entertain at this time. They
will be very forcibly reminded of the partner
ship in which A put in all the money and B
all the experience. At the end of the year A
had the experience and B the money.


But the chief cause of delay will be found
in the tendency to accomplish much new leg
islation. Full a third of the members have
schemes, more or less wild, that they wish to
introduce, and will doubtless advocate at
great length. Few people who have not been

The latest wicked and worrying innovation
is in the fashion of caramels. Some fool Of a
cook, with no regard for the lines of beauty and
motions of grace which the fair sex specially
pride themselves upon aud which they would
not sacrifice save under the most pressing
temptations of taffy, has accomplished what he
thinks smart thing by changing the flat
square caramel, so prevalent few years ago,
to thick oblopg block almost as big as
brick


This is simply an outrage, an iniquity of
which only the most depraved or stupid of men
could be guilty. The graceful shopper could
once draw little dark square of exhlerating
sweetness from the paper hidden in her muf,
lip it within her pearly teeth aud tell her
curious little sister that she was eating horrid
medicine for her cold, and there let the deli
cious slab dissolve into toothsome memory,
without inconvenience aud without distiguring
q feature. But the thick, square blocks of the
fashionable caramel have done away with this,
and now the .iigginp miss or simperiug mat
ron slides the inevit into one side Of
lips to keep en- il ua iSsSd zffias tne awkward knob
such q lump ocoAsions.


Now that the streets are full of Christmas
shoppers, it is no uncommon thing TO see q
lady halt in the middle OF the sldewsik' ana
stald with open mouth and eyes closed as IL
her whole being was absorbed in the Gr9co-
Roman wrestle going on between her tongue
and teeth. For the clumsy caramel is as sticky
as t Is sweet, and once it wraps itself about
the teeth only patience and resignation are
effestual for release. And the new and nefari-
GUS invention has less elasticity to it than the
original caramel, and requires more labor 20
chaw and time to dissolve it. 1t seems as II hor-
rid men are always getting up some device to
annoy and poster the ladies': what wouia
shopping ard marketing bs without the exoil-
aradon and necessary dissipation above alluded
to? Such insidious and cruel Innovations
should therefore, be frowned down, and every
