A POOR EXHIBIT OF CORN
Reason Why the Display of Indian
Corn Was Poor at Paris.
Congress Failed TO Pass App
priatiOn Bill.
SpprO-
Thirty two Ladies and Gentlemen Will
Try the Elixir.

New YoRK, Aug. 12.-Chas. j. Murphy,
who proposed to erect the corn palace at
the Paris exposition, to be devoted to tthe
display of the various uses of IndiaL
corn as an article OF food writes from
Paris explaining Why the exhibition
failed. Murphy says: Ever since the
Paris exposition of 1873, when the United
States made a very noor agricultural
showing, have waited for an opporrur-
1ty TO exemplify to the world
what could be done with our
Indisn corn as human TODD. l
concluded that the time had come for
this display at the Paris exposition. l
laid my plans before the New York pro-
duce e1chang, the president which sp-
pointed the committee. l then went
west and made strong appeal 70 the
produce exchanges of the corn states to
help the movement with subscriptions.
The principal produce exchanges and
boards OF trade in the west appointed
committees to solicit aubscriptIons and
the only money used was $3.50 at lff4lo
which was afterwards returned,
New York City subscribed Sl,05O
Congressman Townsent, of Illinois.
introduced 4 bill in congress, processing
to grant a special appropriation, but
congress adjourned without action.
Similar bills were introduced in the legis-
latures of OHIO and Illinois, but they too
failed to pass. Il then came to Paris in
hopes that Gen. Franklin, the United
States commissioner, would at least erect
building at a cost of 81 500 cut of the
$3.50 600 appropriated by congress, but he
refused TO give one dollar for
this exhibi, which would have
been of more practical value TO the farm
ing interest of the United States than ali
other American exhibits (such as they
are), combined. The French authorities
generously gave site without charge
which they valued at SIP 900. 1t is to be
regretted if the movement should fall,
for If successful, to use the words of the
United States commissioner OF agricut-
ture, ''it woGld enhance the value of every
acre of land in the corn belt"

IHE investigation of the re-rsting of
pensions has developed statistics going
TO show that the benefits of the $4,000
600 appropriated for pensions purposes
are very uutquslly distributed. There are
S26, ,SSS pensioners on The roll. "Of this
number" says the St. Louis Globe Demo
orat "63 142 get but IS a month, or 26ssc
a day; Il, ,s6l get only S6 month or 20c.
day; 69,21o get but 81 month, or
lSLc. day; 3l,722 get but 81 month,
or esq. a day, and 2s3 get but 81
month, or s. sc, day. Here are 2l2,OlS,
lhen, more than twp-thirds of the entire
tist, who receive IS or less; and nearly
one half of them. or over 100000, have to
be content with 81 or less. Those who
get more thar IS have extra dissbih-
ty, such as loss of limbs, or the
equivalents; and il this olass, also,
are included the invalid officers. 1t will
be readily seen that While the total ex-
penditure is large, the distribution is
such that the individual pensioners de-
rive only a small advantage from it. A
pension of 81 week is certainly not ex
orbitaut; and yet not so meny as one
third of the pensioners get more than
that. The fact that nearly 1000 re-
ceive but 6Ssc. day is a Teproach rather
than credit to the country; and to
bestow only 81 month upon & man, as
is done in 2s3 cases, can be regarded as
an irony.i

CINcINNATI-What has been termed
the salocuists' rebellion was formally
ended in the police court Tuesday after

application of their attorney. Two of
the latter stated the court that the de-
fepdaDts ~ere men who had money in
vested and thought they were justified
i'll trying to make mouey, and they were
IN some measure excusable. Before the
week had passed away they knew they
were wrong. These men in the presence
of their counsel by rising vote had agreed
to obey the law hereafter. Now your
honor, having seen the error of their
ways, they ask forgiveness, and as their
representative l ask the court to meet
them half way by postponing the cases
now pending against them, not to be re
vived SO long as they obey the law. l
adopt the suggestion, said the court, and
ada that if there is no further v1olati on
there will be no further prosecution.

Members Refuse to Keep Secret the. e.Doings in
the BOulanger Trial.
PARIS, Aug. 12.-The senate court to-
day resolved itself into a Legislative
chamber, aud on the advice of N. DevelIe
raised question of tbs courts compe-
tenoy to Try Gen. Bouauger. The presi-
dent OF the senate will request the mem
bers to pledge themselves TO secrecy
regarding the prooee 1ings, ind it is
expected the members of the right will
refuse to give such pledge.
The members of the right refused to
give the pledge of secresy on the ground
that as the indictment had been widely
published they had a right to publicly
express their opinions in the case. The
right moved that the court was lncompe
tent TO try Gen. Boulanger because the
allegations in the Indictment did not
constitute treason. The motion was
rejected by vote Of 212 to 81. The
right atterward met and decided to take
no further part in the proceedings.

A LARGE CONVENTION.
The A. o. F. Will Assemble at Minneapolis
Today


Today.
MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 1.-THE national
convention of the Ancient Order OF
Fo-estsrs opens in this city tomorrow.
Between 600 and 700 delegates will be
present. The California delegation was
the first to arrive. The party was un-
fortunate in losing one of Its members,
who died en- r@Hte just before reaching
Denver. Today was devoted to
q picnic held st Spring Park.
Judging from present indications there
seems to be not the slIg htest DOUBT but
the A. 0. f. in this country will be a dis
tinot organic alton after tomorrow. Ex-
acuy how the matter will come up in the
convention is not settled. IL is
expected it will take ths form of
resolution tomorrow morning.
A rather new light is thrown upon the
situation by Chief Ranger Elect j.
Wilson Murray, speaking of this subjeo
this morning the gentleman said: "It is
not so much the color line that will
split the American organization away
from the English order, as the fact that
the Esglish high court has tried to coeroe
ard has broken salt with u.s."
There seems to be difference of opin
ion as TO what name the new organiza-
tion shall take. Some favor the name of
"Am eriran Ancient Order of Foresters,"
while others fovor the title Ancient
OrCer of FOresters of America"
