CORN IN Europe

1t is one of the singular facts that
just now, when it would seem that
almost anything eaten by any civilized
people would be in demand to feed the
hungry and starving in parts of Europe,
the exports of corn show considerable
reduction from last year. The past two
months there has been a large falling
away from the same months last year.
There is no special significance in this,
however. Temporary and incidental
causes may have been operative. There
are encouraging reports from the agents
of the agricultural bureau irving
to introduce corn in Europe. Col.
c. j. MURPHY, who has been
specially active and successful in the
matter, has induced the German gov
eminent to institute tests. A bread
equally composed of corn and rye is to
be furnished the army. If it is made
by experts. it will fill the stomach with
delight and capture the hearts of those
who use it. They will almost be glad of
the failure of crops, because it has in
troduced them to new and better
bread that is cheap. AS rye is scarce.
1t is a rare opportunity to show that
corn mixes with it splendidIy. All it
needs is fair trial under skillful Gull
nary processes. 1t will then make its

The worlds Methodist council. lately
in session at Washington, did not fully
settle the old conundrum as to the moral
and religious effect of tobacco. 1t was
one of the questions that should be

that body could at least have laid down
the basic principle for ecclesiastical
legislation on the subject. 1t is SO gen

THE KEYSTONE VOTE.

Republican papers anticipate defeat
for their party in Pennsylvania this
year, and prepare the way for it by in
sisting that the contest is waged on
local issues alone, and that defeat now
will cut no figure in the national cain
paign next year. 1t did not seem quite
that way when the Democratic governor
was elected, and Mr.. BLAINE was in
duced to plead with the protectionists
not to stab their cause by allowing the
election of free trade Democrats" He
will not now probably expose himself to
a second rebuff by repeating his adj
vice. The defeat of the Republicans
then makes it easier for the Democrats
to succeed now. An emphatic majority
against the Republicans now may not
insure the state to the Democrats in the
national contest, but should there be
occasion to go away from New York for
candidate, it would bring the bright
and able governor of Pennsylvania into
great prominence. The claim that he
could carry the state for president
would be made with good deal of
plauSibility. and there would be still
more reason to anticipate that legiSla-
ture would be elected to send a tariff
refOrmer to the senate in place of
Quay. There is an element of danger
to the Republicans in Pennsylvania in
the colored vote. 1t has been substan-
TALLY unit for the Republicans, and
large enough to determine the result in
the state. This element has been
reated as if it could not be driven out of
the party, but the worm is said to reach
turning point at times. The blacks
look over the state and find in the sixty
seven counties but one elective office
given to their race. Then they note
that the tax systems of the Republican
party are especially oppressive to labor
ing men and small farmers, which
includes most of the colored men.
This inclineS them further to leave
the party. They have gone so far as to
organize Democratic societies, which
recently held state meeting. Their
proceedings indicated that they meant
business, and they may be an important
element in determining the politics of
the state. In New York state, also, some
of the most Influential colored men have
left the Republicans. One of these,
