Edmunds, ch.nre Of Base.

Politicians in Washington are wondering
what caused Senator Edmunds to change
his opinion with regard to closure rule.
He has al Eays been an advocate OF the
freedom Of debate, and until his interview
in the Washington Fost the other day he
was counted as one Of the republican sena-
tors who would speak and vote against any
measure to cut of debate.
1t is said that be b s been taking lessons
in practical politics from the President IL
is known that be has no love for Mr. Blaine
and the man from Maine has no love for
him. Mr.. Blaine has alUsys been an OPP
ponent Of a closurs rude. and he is against
the force bill. II reports are to be credited
tie President has told pr. Edmunds that
the suress, way t3gle&en the influence OF Mr..
Blaine is to favor al the party measures
which the latter opposes. Mr.. Edmuuds ap-
pears to have taken this advice. In his
interview 10 tue Post he came out squAreiy
in favor OF closure rule. and It is now ex-
pscted that that rule will have his support.
Without his support It could not have
passed, because quite a number Of other re-
publican senators. who don't like the rule.

had opposed It, win, in all probability. fol-
low his lead
It looks as II the President and some of
the most influential of the republican lead
ers are afraid Of MIR. Blaine's influence. He
has forced his parry to do several things it
didn't want to. For instance, it didn't want
to incorporate his reciprocity scheme into
the Mckinley tariff bill, but it had to.
Mr.. Blaine is still the great power in the
Republican party. and other party leaders
would like to see him pushed into the back
ground. One Of the reasons why some of
them insist upon the passage of the force
bill is that he is opposed to it. They don't
know whom he favors as the party's candi-
date for President, but they are quite sure
that his candidate will not be their candi-
date
But it must be rather CALLING to Senator
Edmunds to follow the lead of the Presi-
dent. He has never had a very high opin-
ion Of Gen. Harrison. and it must have cost
him an effort to abandon the position be
las maiL tanned for years in order to assist
the President In passing his pet measure.
And he must know that his change of base
will lessen his own influence IA his party.
In lowing tho President he ceases to be a
distinguished leader. Politics makes some
strange bedfellows

What Makes a Man Old

To himself, man is as old as he feels; to
others, as old as he looks. There is nothing
strikingly new, says the Boston Transcript, in
this observation. but it applied well in an anus
ing case the OF or day. On train that was
coming into Boston there were two gentlemen
sitting Ia coHtigu us seats. One of them was
gray and bent. AS the train approached the
station the white haired man rose, took up his
overcoat, hestated aud glanced nervously
around. Then he said:
Young man, will be much obliged if you
will help me on VT my oyercoat"
The other rose quickly and gave him the as
sistance that was asked for

said the old man. You are kind. Some time
you may be old yourself and then you will be
glad of young mans assistance"
The other laughed Perhaps sir" he said
you wouldn't object to telling me how old you
are"

Sorghum Sugar.

The department OF agriculture has in
vented a process for the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum which, it is claimed,
gives some surprising results. The chemist
Of the department Is the inventor, and it is
said that by means of the new process the
amount OF sugar obtained from 1000
gallons of juice is increased from 1 900 to
to about 1900 pounds. Aud the new
process is not a costly one.
For the anIfac.ure of sorghum sugar
the difficulty has always been the separa-
ton of the gummy am Orphous bodies from
the Jul . without precipitating the sugar.
BY the new process alec hol is used to effect
the removal Of tbs gums, and but little of
the alcohol is lost, because it is almost
wholly recovered by subsequent distillation.
The department Of agriculture is very
much elAted over its ex oeriments with sor-
ghum, and its secretary talks as IL he
thought the time was not distant when this
country would he able to meet the demand
Of the home market for sugar.
There is no doubt that great progress is
being made in the northwest in the manu-
facture OF sugar from sugar beets In
| Florida and Louisiana the am lunt of sugar
produced from cane is steadily increasing.
If the new process for manufacturing sor-
| ghum sugar should prove 30 be as valua-
BILE as the agricultural department thinks
it is, it is reasonable to expect that before
the end Of the century an immense amount
of sugar will he produced in this country.
In most of the southern states a large
| yield Of sorghum can be obtained from good
land, and sorghum yields well in quite a
number of the western states. There is a
| probability, therefore, that sorghum will
become great and profitable crop in both
the west aud the south. If it should there
would be no occasion for regretting the
money that has been spent in maintaining
the agricultural department.
