lar, and soon had the pleasure of seeing
the green plames of his visitor shooting
up through the ground. He carefully
weeded the earth and left it fresh and
soft, and in due time was gratifed by
beholding the matured plant, bending
with its golden fruit and gracefully wav-

the wind. He then invited his parents

| Whatever the origin of corn may have

America, or ION the slope of the Andes,

aims of China" modern botanists and
naturalists are agreed that the origin
was of the species yea tunica-clothed
corn. That is, each kernel was
enveloped in separate tunic, or
husk, similar TO grains of wheat In the
head. Descending from this type, spe-
cies, classes and varieties have become
almost innumerahle, each country, elm

plant accepts the modification of soil,

is the crop for the millions, not only of
this country but of the world, for while
it does not enter into universal consump-
ton as food product, Indirectly it af-
fects the food supply of the world, N
meat as well as bread, being the basis
of feed for the animal creation that fur
nishes the meat supply for mankind.
All the other cereals acknowledge ale
glance to corn. Had the soil of this
country refused to yield corn, Great Brit

country. The progress of western civil
ization would be retarded half century
but for corn. Corn has built more miles

clothed and fed more people than any
other product of American soil. The

1t Is becoming more apparent every
day that the vigorous discussion of sew
eral leading and important questions
that has been going on throughout the
country, especially the west, for several
months Is going to have the desired eff
feet in shaping legislation. Congress Is
showing . decidedly more traCtable dis
position and willingness TO conform their
actions TO the popular wishes and de
Sires than has been manifested by the
legislative branch Of the government for
many years. But for the earnest discus
sion of the silver question it Is doubtful
that any decisive action would have been
taken; as it Is the popular demands viii
prevail. The same is true of the tariff
measure, the antitrust measure and
others Of Importance 10 the people lis

The champions of the emergency rate
idiom are pursuing that phantom with
as much zest as they did when there was
twice as strong incentive to action, as
far as prices Of produce on the market
are concerned; that is to say when corn
was selling for just half what it is worth
now. We opine that the state board of
railroad commissioners, before whom
the present appeal is being made, will
reserve their decision until the issue
joined between the Missouri Pacific rail
road and the state, involving the ques-
ton Of the boards authority, shall have
been determined. But whatever the
course and outcome, the EAGLE can not
but remark the amount of demagogy
mixed up in the proceeding.

If the Republicans of a few more
counties and states in the south shall
shortly follow the example of those that
composed the county convention at Nash
vile, Tenn, last week, and openly refuse
to adopt resolution indorsing the adj
ministration Of President Harrison, it
may very materially affect the chances
for success of the federal election bill
now before congress. 1t is divine prin-
ciple that prompts assistance to those
who help themselves.

1t is announced from Topeka that the
local authorities there will appeal the
original package cases from the decision
of the United States circuit court at
Leavenworth to the United States su-
preme court. It seems to us that this
monkey business has been carried quite
far enough at the expense Of the state.
Everybody knows the object of all this
fiummery. and also that it won't amount
to baubee, as far as multiplying the de-
cisions OF the United States courts, and
that the only hope of relief from the
effect of the decisions is in congressional
action, and there is no sense and less JUS
tice in putting the people to further ex-
pense in the matter. Stop il.

The action of the senate Tuesday in
amending and passing the silver bill was
the most serious, because the most i'm
portant, measure passed upon by that
body during the present session, and vet.
serious as it was the venerable senator
from Vermont was in such a jocular
mood that he could not resist the tempta-
ton of making it an occasion of merri-
ment for the gallery gods, and many of
his contems as well. OF course he was
in dead earnest in his remarks about
turning the nations finances over to the
Democrats for the time being, but his
earnestness made the remark all the fun
nier, in view of his own potential infu-
ence in shaping the policy Of the govern
ment on that most important subject
heretofore. Senator Edmunds Is a most
profound and astute statesman and con-
sequentlv is usually correct in the posi-
ton he takes, but in this instance he ut
terly failed to interpret the sentiment of
the people at large.

A strenuous effort is being made by
political trickSterS and Office holders to
throttle the liberty and voice of the free
and independent citizens of this city and
county. In accordance with an agreement
made several weeks ago, an announce
ment is to be made by few so-called
republicans that this is not the proper
time for organization or repub-
lican county ticket. With the consent of
the executive committee elected at the
county convention, held at Mission Gar
den on Saturday, August 30, 1890, pro-
posed to Mr.. H. Terrell that | would re-
linQuiSh my claim as chairman OF the eX-
ecutive committee if he would make a
call for a county convention and there oy
afford an opportunity for a united action.
The result is a meeting of a Seif-cOnSti-
tuted committee, who decide not TO call
convention, etc,
Now, therefore, by virtue of authority
in me vested by the Republican county
convention, | respectfully request that
the chairmen elected at said convention
call a meeting at their respective pre-
cinctS or voting places on Tuesday, Sep
TENDER %, 1890. at $50 p. m, in city and

L lie Effects OF Mental Exhaustion.
Many diseases, especially those of
the nervous system, are the products
of daily renewed mental exhaustion.
Business avocations often involve an
amount OF mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and
the professions, if arduously pur-
sued, are no less destructive to
brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one Of
the most important attributes or Hos

and that it imparts new energy to

with which it renews weakened men,

markable and shows that its invigo-

order. Besides increasing vital stam-
