six Thousand Years Hence" is the
name of an imaginative work from the
pen of Milton w. Ramsey, of Mime
apOlis, which rivals Verne's widest

carried thither, on all erratic meteor,
which had drawn them by its gray
itation from their resp ctive homes.
A sentimental boy and girl and astron-

USE EOR. CORN

1t would be something of a freak if
Germany, having got friendly inter-
view with American corn, should teach
the producers of it a new use to which it
can be put. The failure of Russian
crops curtailed the supply of fax, from
which the German sOapmakers extract
linseed oil for their manufactures. Vari-
Gus substitutes were tested, to little sat
lsfactiOn, and it is reported that their
chemists struck upon American corn as
atfording an oil that meets the REQUIRE
ment. Large shipments have been
made to them from Chicago for this
purpose, and it is expected that a
market for 3O,OO00O0 or 10000. 900
bushels may grow out of this ds covery.
This will be something of an item in
itself, but probably of more Importance
i'll faGiliarizing them with the cereal.
1t will be an Introduction to the more
important use as an article Of food.
Then if it can economically be made a
contributor to the soap manufacture on
the other side, there may be possibiIi-
ties at home in that direction. The hog
converts it into lard for use in SOAP
making. If there is a process that dis
penses with the porcine agency it may
be of considerable Importance.

CONVENTION CAROLS.

st. Paul and Indianapolis are both In
the ring for the Demo cratic convention.
but Chicago has the geographical argu-
ment in her favor.-Memphis Appeal
Avalanche.
The st. Paul GLOBE declares that it is
a necessity that the next Democratic
convention be held there. Otherwise
it fears the Republican party may carry
New York or Texas.-Kansas City
Times.
If the Democratic national convention
does come here our people will see to
1t that there is no more use for the ex-
preston that the glorious old party is a
hungry and thirsty one.-Milwauk ee
Journal.
Boston does not want the Democratic
national convention. The city does not
wish any toughs to invade the home of
the only Sullivan and vie with him for
honors i'll adipose animalism.-K
City Journal.
Now Minneapolis is really and truly
helping st. Paul to secure the Demo-
cratic convention, and everything is
lovely. So far as can be noticed, there
is not even a tieeting memory that a
census was ever taken.-Denyer Times.
The twin city, or. rather, the half
city of st. Paul, today's dispatches tell
us. has enlisted in the campaign for the
Democratic national convention for the
war. unless sooner discharged. The
people up there have pledged to spend
100000 in building permanent con-
ventlon hall. We doubt the efficacy
OF that sort of an investment. The
same amount placed elsewhere might
do a great deal more good. st. Paul
ought to have learned better by the ex-
ample of Minneapolis. New York Tele-
gram.
The Democracy have been looking
more and more hopefully to the West
and Northwest every year. They have
made sorry work of the Old-time Repub-
lican majOrities in every state, and now
have Democratic governors in Iowa and
Wisconsin, with rising vote in all the
great cities and chief towns, Suppose
the Democratic convention should go to
st. Paul, meeting within fortnight OF
the Republican national gathering at
Minneapolis? The Twin Cities would
be in an ecstasy of satisfaction, and the
cosmopolitan Democracy of the North
west would have their lighting clothes
on for six months. The whole country
would enjoy the novel spectacle. The
suggestion is we'll worth considering
under the circumstances. 1t is full of
far-reaching possibilities. Let Mime
apOllS'S great rival beStir itself Let it
take hold of the idea and work it for all
1t is wOrth.-Philadelp Telegraph.

NOT IN ISSUE

The attempt of the Republicans to
find a tariff issue in the contest for
speaker is unwarranted by the facts. 1t
IS hot true that there are free trade
Democrats on the one side and protec-
ton Democrats on the other. There are
some Democrats who favor absolute
free trade undoubtedly; but a protection
Democrat would be much like a seces-
sion Republican, as the view was by
members of the party in a certain dis
turbed period. A Democrat in favor
OF protection would be like the his
torical cat in the strange garrett.
There are none in congress-. and
could not be, for the party has
made tariff reduction its overshadow-
ing aim. The recent declarations of all
the candidates for speaker are distinct
and emphatic on this point. They diff
fer on no matter of principle, and in no
important respect in detail 1t is true
that one or two of them have been more
conspicuous than others before the
country as reformers, and cannot be mis-
represented. The election of one OF
these is desirable ON this account. But
all of them have uneQuiyocal records as
revenue reformerS III congress. The
Democratic party is unit against the

LIFE ON THE RAIL.

Recent railroad accidents are disturb
ing the impression generally held that
employees of the roads are about the only
parties who are liable to be killed or
disSected by the irregular activity of
things. Although there are hundreds
OF passengers to one train hand, it has
been insisted that vastly greater num-
Der of the latter are killed and manned
than OF the former. Still, if there are
half the sufferers among the passengers
that there are among the trainmen, the
prospect is not quite cheerful one for
the traveller The report of the
interstate commission insists that
every year one in every hun
dred of the trainmen is killed
and ten are injured. In the year last
reported there were 1872 fatalities and
2O,02S cases of injury among railroad
employees. The chief causes of these ac-
cidents are the coupling of cars and fall
ing from the tops of freight cars. There
are constant Improvements in the means
OF comfort and increase of speed for the
public, but the men who handle the
trains do not seem to come into the con-
sideration. 1t is probably cheaper for
the roads to supply the places of the
killed or manned than it is to provide
couplings that involve no danger, or
other appliances for the security of the
employees.

THE barry IN POLITICS.

Baby MCKEE has been one of the
prominent, perhaps most picturesque
figures of the administration. The
CLEVELAND well-spring has come into
the perspective as an exceedingly inter
esting feature of a panorama related to
the presidency. 1t may be but the exu-
berance Of gossip, but it is intimated
that there is a possibility that this
charming sprig of humanity may indi-
rectly affect national affairs. The story
IS that since the birth of the child its
mother has failed to regain her
health, with some fOrebOdings that
a long period may ensue before inya-
lidism is removed. This domestic
condition absOrbs the attention of Mr.
CLEVELAND so that he refuses all part
in political affairs, and its continuance
will disincline him to allow his name to
be used in connection with the nominal
ton next year. This is not altogether
probable, but it is difficult to compute
the possibilities of the infantile element
i'll the political field. Should Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND refuse the use of his name, the
range OF selection would be so broad
that hardly a plausible conjecture
could now be had as to where
the lightning would strike. 1t is
hardly probable that any of the
names presented in New York state
would be favorably considered. Were
Gov. RUSSELL, of Massachusetts, dec
ade older he might be a strong man.
He is urged vigorously by some Boston
papers as it is. But his youth, though
not crime, would be a temporary bar
rier. The survey would be Westward.
Ohio has rendered its leading Democrat
unavailable. The eye might extend to
Iowa and the measure of its faverite
and favored son be taken. But it is too
soon to apprehend an unhappy event in
the household of the ex-president.

1T MAY COME AGAIN.

There is probably no occasion for
much serious apprehension over DOS
sible second visitation OF the influenza.
or grippe epidemic. Yet the experience
had with it has eliminated any DISPOSE
ton to treat it with levity. 1t did not
have the appearance of serious mischief.
but, directly or indirectly, it did a great
deal to populate graveyards. The re-
ports from abroad for some time past
have indicated that it is as active and
covering about the same territory as
two years ago. Then it was first
heard of in Russia in October.
and a month later had spread
over Germany and France. 1t is
following the same dates in those
regions. Instances were reported in the
Atlantic cities in December, and in the
early part of 1890 it became epidemic,
and with great impartiality it took in
most Of the country. The indictments
to its diffusion are not very we'll under
stood, and it IS not certain that it will
repeat its visitation III this country.

The December Overland Monthly is
the most beautiful issue of that maya
zine that has yet been printed, and
amply fultillS the promise TO give better
material for less money than ever be-
fore. 1t comes out in a new dress of
type. and the presswOrk is admirable
and unusual. The illustrations are pro-
fuse, including drawings by three or
four of the most brilliant young artists
of the coast. The flower and seed in
duStrleS.-Which offer tempting oppor-
tunities for Illustration in the magnifi-
cent fields of flowers and the interesting
process of marketing-the "Defenses of
the Pacific Coast" and the Santa
Barbara Channel Islands," are all thor
Oughly illustrated, and two poems also
offer delicate accompanying sketches.
The descriptive articles that accompany
these sketches are of most readable
type.
Although the January number is 20
be the holiday issue par excellence, this
December number has strong holiday
cast: Fred NJ. Stocking tells the story
OF $4,000 Thanksgiving dinner in the
mines-and seems to think it was worth
1t; while a veteran Australian tells of
his Christmas dinner-of roast wallaby
and wild herbs-loSt in the heart of the
terrible, waterless Maalee Scrub. The Sc
rial, ''Verisimilitude," comes to happy
conclusion, and the other sketches and
stories give SeasOnable lightness to
the number. Perhaps the most lively
of these is the story of how Gihon Bluff
got its name, narrated by Thomas Gihon
himself. Those who read Fred M.
Stockings account of the wreck of the
Tennessee in early days will remember
one Tom Gihon, an athletic aud cool
