THE SUGAR BEET.
The efforts now being made by the
state Agricultural College to teat the
capacity of Oregon soils for the produc
tion of the sugar beet should meet with
a hearty response from the farmers of
this section. We have an impression
that some parts of Eastern Oregon are
specially adapted for the growth of this
plant, and if this impression should re
ceive confirmation after proper tests
have been made there is no telling the
benefits that might accrue to the DeoDle.
The very highest authority declares that
tne growing ot beets is "decidedly bene
ficial to the soil and improves it for
cereals." A beet crop would therefore
be an excellent substitute for a summer
fallow, with all the advantage of having
a crop of one kind or other each year in
stead allowing the land to lie fallow and
unprofitable every alternate one. The
supply of domestic sugar will never
' qual the demand during the lifetime of
any person now living. In the year 1889
this country imported 2.762.202.967
pounds of sugar at an average cost per
pound, in the countries from whence it
-was imported of 3.21 cents a pound.
The entire production of Louisiana
amounted to 324,526,781 pounds. The
duty alone on the imported sugar amoun
ted to $54,896,437. During the same
year we imported 27,024,551 gallons of
niollasses, while the domestic product
was 5,347,960 gallons. In 1890 this
country sent to Germany in round num
bers 16 million dollars for sugar produ
ced from beets which might just as well
have been raised here and the money
kept at home. The laet session of cong
ress took special action to encourage the
beet sugar industry by passing a law to
Jay a bounty of t two cents a pound i to
the ugar manufacturers for an indefi
nite period of time. This bounty is es
timated to insure at least $4 an acre.
In view of these facts the remarks of
Consul H. F. Merrit, writing from. Che
mnitz, under date of October 1890 are
-very pertinent. It does not seem proper
nor consistent that an agricultural coun
try like the United States should be de
pendent for any article of a purely agri
cultural character on foreign countries,
especially when the United States has
iully one hundred times as much land
adapted to the production of that article
as is available in the country from
whence tne article comes. As a closing
remark we would again remind our read--ers
that the Chronicle ofiSce has receiv
ed a fresh supply of sugar beet seed
which it will be pleased to hand to all
who may apply, as long as it lasts.
THE CHRONICLE "RAISES" THE
GOVERNOR.
A Telegram reporter interviewed Gov
ernor Pennoyer about the contemplated
appropriation for the world's fair and
received the following answer :
He was not in favor of any appropria
tion, and he would not contribute one
cent for an exhibit at Chicago ; but if the
people who wanted to do something for
Oregon would raise $50,000 for the aid of
poor and struggling emigrants, who come
here seeking homes, he would contribute
$1000 for that purpose.
The answer is a sample of genuine
mossbackism and inadulterated dema
gogry. The governor is consistent how
ever. What he would not allow the
state to do he would not do himself. He
would spend $90,000 for a useless orna
mentation of the capitol that will never
benefit the state a quarter of a dollar but
not a penny for advertising our resources
where every dollar judiciously spent
would give a thousand fold return. His
offer to give a thousand dollars to "poor
struggling emigrants" is a very safe one.
The Chronicle, will go him "five
thousand better" and be dead certain
the amount will never be called for.
Oregon emigrants don't come here a
begging. Many of them may be poor
but they are not posing as subjects of
charity, and the governor's offer to head
a subscription list on their behalf is an
' extravagant and prodigal waste of guber
natorial sympathy. s
A union meeting of the grangers and
farmers' alliance will be held at Shiloh
church on next Friday, May first. The
meeting is one of a series that have been
held from time to time. Their purpose
is mutual discussion and exchange of
ideas regarding the best interests of the
laboring and producing classes . All
farmers and , laborers are welcome.
Meeting opens at 11 o'clock a. m. ' A
basket dinner will be served.
PREPARE FOR HIS RECEPTION.
Now that it is an assured fact that
president Harrison is going to stop 15
minutes in The Dalles on the 7th of May
next let us relegate all local matters, to
the rear and unite in giving him a hearty
reception. The Chronilb "extends the
olive branch" and will go hand in glove
with anybody for this purpose. The
presidential arrangements, measured by
time, have honored us five minutes more
than any town in easern Oregon, except
Huntington and we must show our ap
preciation of this mark of distinction by
exhibiting The Dalles in her best bib
and tucker.
DON'T LET HIM SEE THEM.
If the telegrams are correct the nresi
dential schedule does not allow a minute
of time for the examination of one of the
most important sights for the eyes of the
ruler of this nation on the whole
American continent today. We refer to
the Cascade Locks. It is perfectly safe
to say that much as we would like to see
the face of the president there is not a
man in eastern Oregon but would gladly
forego that pleasure if he were assured
that the time was occupied in examin
ing the progress of a work of so much
vital interest to the people of the Inland
Empire. While the president is mak
ing himself personally acquainted with
the country and its resources much
might be expected from an inspection of
the greatest barrier that lies in the way
of our prosperity. The time is not far
distant when prominent officials, influ
ential in the concils of the nation, were
hustled past the locks with blinds
drawn on the north side of the cars or
assiduously pointed to the scenic beauties
oi tne mountains on the south side of
the river as the train passed the Cascade
Locks. Is it possible the same influence
still prevails? We hope not. And yet
the feeling creeps over us like the recol-
ection of a distempered dream that it
might be so.

A PLAGUE OF UNBELIEF.
THE MOVING CAUSE OF . ALL THE
PLAGUES. OF CITIES.
Dr. Tslmare'i Masterly Contrast of U
Effects of Christianity and Agnosticism.
The Glorious Results of a. Living; Faith.
What Has Infidelity Doner
New York, April 6. Continuing his
course of sermons on "The Ten Pl&guep of
the Cities," Rev. Dr. Talmage today took
for his subject 'The Plague of Infidelity."
I The discourse was delivered to large and
appreciative audiences at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music in the forenoon and the
New York Academy of Music in the even
ing;. The text was Romans iii, 4, "Let
Uod be true, but every man a liar."
That is if God says one thing and the
whole human race says the opposite, Panl
would accept the Divine veracity. But
there are many in our time who have dared
arraign the Almighty for falsehood. In
fidelity is not only a plague, but it is the
mother of plagues.
It seems from what we hear on all sides
that the Christian religion is a huge blun
der; thut the Mosaic account of the creation
is an absurdity large enough to throw all
nations into rollicking guffaw; that Adam
and Eve never existed; that the ancient
flood and Noah's ark were impossibilities:
that there never was a miracle; that the
Bible is the friend of cruelty, of murder, of
polygamy, or ail lorras or base crime; that
the Christian religion is woman's tyrant
and man's stultification; that the Bible
from lid to lid is a fable, a cruelty, a hum
bug, a sham, a lie; that the martyrs who
uieu ior its trutn were miserable dupes;
buiu uio cuurcn oi jesus (Jurist is
properly gazetted as a , fool; that when
Thomas Uarlyle. the skeptic, said, "The
Bible is a noble book," he was dropping
iiiku iinutxauty; tnat wnen L ueoaore barker
declared in Music hall, Boston. "Never a
boy or girl in all Christendom but was
profited by that great book," he was be
coming very weak minded; that it is some
thing to bring a blush to the cheek of
every patriot that John Adams, tne father
of American independence, declared, "The
Bible is the best book in all the world;"
and that lion hearted Andrew Jackson
turned into a sniveling coward when he
said, "That book, sir, is the rock on which
our republic rests;" and that Daniel Web
ster abdicated the throne of his intellectual
power and resigned his logic, and from
being the great expounder of the constitu
tion and the great lawyer of bis age turned
into an idiot when he said, "My heart as
sures and reassures me that' Che gospel of
Jesus Christ must be a divine reality.
From the time that at my mother's feet
or on my father's knee I first learned to
lisp verses from the sacred writings they
have been my daily study and vigilant con
templation, and if there is anything rn my
style or thought to be commended the
credit is due to my kind parents in instill
ing into my mind an early love of the
Scriptures:" and that William H. Seward,
the diplomatist of the century, only showed
his puerility when he declared. "The whole
hope of human progress is suspended on
the ever growing influences of the Bible;"
and that it is wisest for us to take that
book from "the throne in the affections of
uncounted multitudes and put it under
our Tect, to be trampled upon by ha
tred and hissing contempt; and ''that
your old father was hoodwinked and
cajoled and cheated and befooled when
he leaned. on.. this. as .a . staff after his
hair grew gray, and his hands were
tremulous, and his steps shortened as he
came ap to the verge of the grave; and that
your mother sat with a pack of lies on her
lap while reading of the better country, and
of the ending of all her aches and rains.
and reunion not only with those of you
wno stooa around her, but with the chil
dren she had buried with infinite heart
ache, so that she could read no more until
she took off her spectacles and wiped from
them the heavy mist of many tears. Alas)
that for forty and fifty years' they should
have walked under this delusion and had
it under their pillow when they lay a-dying
in the back room, and asked that some
words from the vile page might be cut upon
the tombstone under the shadow of the old
country meeting house where they sleep
today waiting for a resurrection that will
never come.
This book, having deceived them, and
having deceived the mighty intellects of
the past, must not be allowed to deceive
oar larger, mightier, vaster, more stupen
dous intellects. And so out with the book
from the court room, where it is used in
the solemnization of testimony. Out with
it from under the foundation of church
and asylum. Out with it from the domes
tic circle. Gather together all the Bibles
the children's Bibles, the family Bibles,
those newly bound, and those with lid
nearly worn out and pages almost obliter
ated by the fingers long ago turned to
dust bring them all together, and let us
make a bonfire of them, and by it warm
our cold criticism, and after that turn un
der with the plowshare of public indigna
tion the polluted ashes of that loathsome,
adulterous, obscene, cruel and deatbiul
book which is so antagonistic to man's
liberty, and woman's honor, and the
world's happiness.
AGNOSTICS ATTACK THE VEST LIFX.
Now that is the substance of what infi
delity proposes and declares, and the at
tack on the Bible is accompanied by great
Jocosity, and there is hardly any subject
about which more mirth is kindled than
about the Bible. I like fun; no man was
ever built with a keener appreciation of it.
There is health in laughter instead of harm
physical health, mental health, moral
health, spiritual health provided you
laugh at the right thing. The morning is

You know what caused the abcident
years ago on the Hudson River railroad.
It was an intoxicated man who for a Joke
pulled the string of the air brake and
stopped the train at the most dangerous
point or the journey. But the lightning
train, not knowing there was any impedi
ment in the way, came down, crushing out
of the mangled victims the immortal souls
that went speeding instantly to God and
judgment. It was only a joke. He thought
it would be such fun to stop the train. He
stopped it. And so infidelity is chiefly
anxious to stop the long train of the Bible,
and the long train of the churches, and the
long train of Christian influences, while
coming down upon us are death, judgment
and eternity, coming a thousand miles a
