BEET ROOT SUGAR.
A gentlerban from New; 'York is here
pressing the claims of the beet -root
• sugar industry. He told the Minister
of Agriculture that if a bounty of 1
cent a pound was placed on sugar
-taken from beet roots, a factory would
be built tasting halt -a -million dollars.
As afactory can turn. out 400 'tons a
day, a bonus of itscen t a pound is pretty
liberal. it is said the industry is mak-
ing considerable headway in Michigan;
on the other hand, the department of
agriculture has collected information
that is decidedly unfavorable from
foreign conntries, where the industry
isfoetered., The matter is likely to be
discussed in the House.
ABOUT BINDER TWINE.
._ _...._
Last week an advertiseixient appear-
ed in a nunaber of papers, offering to
farmers binder twine at the Kingston
penitentiary, if orders were place be-
fore the let of March. ‘ The Lofidon
Free Press denounced the ad. as a
fake; mid there wean% a polind . of
twine in the penitentiary, and that At
was simply an attempt to deceive the
public, and the article was copied. by
the Goderich Star. Note the Free
Press was either in entire ignorance,
or was wilfully misleading its readers.
Farmers who want binder twine can
get it from the penitentiaty, because
It has it for sale, It is said in com-
mercial reports that there has been a
greeter advance in raw hemp, than in
almost all other articles of commerce.
This is due to prolonged hostilities in
the Phillipines, where the bulk of it
comes from, and the pride of binder.
twine is likely to be higher all round
than it has been. .
PAYING THE CONTINGENT.
Much as the people of Canada may
want to show their loyalty to the Em-
pire, by paying the entire Rost of the
contingents, while on duty in South
Africa, it cannot be done, for the
simple reason that the Imperial ,5;),y-
ernment lays down the rule that it,
and it alone. must pay the soldiers
while on duty, and all the Opposition
talk or parliamentary :resolutions in
the world cannot change it. The
reason of this is quite obvtoue. The
Colonial contingents, once they reach
South Africa, are a part of the general
army. It would destroy' discipline
absolutely, if one carps received hither
pay than the other. But what the
Canadian government propthiee to do
is this :-The ordinary pay of the Can-
adian soldier is higher than that of the
'English soldier, and the difference be-
tween the two will be placed to the
credit of the Canadian, by the Govern-
ment, to be paid to his family during
his absence, or in the event Of there
beingno faMily, to be drawn by the
soldier on his return.
OPPOSITION HARMONY, -
Referring to the Opposition caucus,
one of the papers said, 'The members
were most harmonious, and determin.
ed to put up a vigorous campaign to
the hour of election." No one doubts
the latter statement, for the Opposi-
tion ,have everything to gain by a vig-
orous campaign. Bnt the former is
open to queetion. How can E. F.
Clarke and Clarke Wallace he har-
monious when they do not speak, and
each has a, knife drawn on the other.
How can Dr Montague and Clarke
Wallace be harmonious, when neither
recognIzes the other, though sitting
but twn eeats apart. How can Mr
Treater and Mr Haggart he,harmonious
when they are openly hostile. The
CAUCUS mv have been harmonious,
