CORN FOR MEXICO.


The fertile fields of this country have
been unusually useful during the last year.
The lack of food products in Europe has
had to be largely made up by supplies from
this country. And now, it appears, we
are relied on by Mexico for food supplies.
The total failure of the crops in Mexico has
precipitated famine that is almost uni
versal, and the govern ment has decided to
throw open its doors to American corn to
alleviate the suffering of it's subjects.
The Mexiosn government has been buying
corn for some time through the Kansas
City markets, and having it shipped to
Mexico free of tariff, where it is sold to the
poor as cost price. As the tariff is As cents
bushel, the cost is thus tremendously
diminished; but even this has not been
enough to meet the demand, and official
notification: has been received in Kansas
City that the tariff will be taken off July
/, and corn will be free. Kansas City will
supply the greater part of this, and one
thousand cars are already in movement
carrying the golden product of the fertile
plains of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and
the other adjoining States to Laredo, Eagle
Pass, and Ell Paso, where connections are
made with the Mexican roads.
1t is good thing for Mexico and good
thing for this country that there is plenty
of corn here. And there is much more
growing. The presentindications are that
we shall have good crops of corn and
wheat again this year, and have enough to
supply foreign requirements. The Ameri-
can farmer occupies a very important
place in the worlds affairs.

SOME DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

The Democrats are busy talking about
Republican disaffection, so busy that they
cannot stop to pick the beams out of their
own eyes. Yet here are the Boston Herald
and the Hartford Times asserting that the
tariff plank of the Democratic platform is
theoretical rather than practical, while
Brother Watterson rises to remark: We
repeat when national convention repudi.
-ates the action Of, its own committee and
by a vote of 564 to 342, accepts this declsr.
alton of the unconstitutionality of the pro-
teetiye, tariff, We have indisputable evi
dence of the progress of reform among the
people, and we may be certain that We
have heard the last of protection Demo
crats."
This is an illustration of Democratic
harmony concerning the platform adopted
And there are some very significant evi
dences of harmony in New York Democratic
and assistant Democratic circles. Thus the
New York Times gently speaks of "ths
horde of tadpoles and pollywogs that have
udAc th0 lhho VI AAAiA ooiouS oaSA tho pun
tics of New York ridiculous" And tn,
Elimira Gazette, the homo organ of Sena
tor Hill, oourteously says: There can b.
no greater treachery to the cause of Cleve
land than talk of this kind from his par
ticular friends. These men are Democrat
of State and national repute and the nam
of every one is identified with victory. Tn
mugwumps may not want them in Demo
cratic campaigns. The Gazstte opposed
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland and W,
suppose, therefore, is to be included b,
the Times among the "horde of tadpole
and pollywogs." A horde is large mum
Der. Webster says predatory multi
tude." The Times may consider Sheehan

The Tourist I'm Italy.

A yearly income of over twenty mil.
lion pounds is a handsome return to gel
for the trouble of entertaining strangers.
This, 1t is said. represents the amount OF
gold spent in Italy every year by tourists
and visitors from foreign countries.
Travelling American millionaires and 9th
ers contribute about a third of the total
amount; Englishmen and others the re-
mainder. The calculation, which is made
in a report on italian trade issued by the
British embassy, is probably sufficiently
correct. Italy obtains this amount of gold
over and above her earnings in other ways
and the sojourner In the land is the only
gold-mine He is certainly exploited with
q zeal and thoroughness which it would bt
difficult to surpass. Perhaps the opportu
nifty might be taken to ask that such 4
profitable customer should be treated {
little more tenderly. Neither italian ho
tells nor Italian railways are perfection
nor is Naples quite such clean city as
might be.

Is Man the Only Reasoner?

Thinkers, from Plato downward, have,
not unnaturally perhaps, regarded the fac
ulty of rational thought, which they them
selves exhibited in the highest degree, as
the Distinguishing prerogative of man.
The Christian religion, too with its doc.
trine of immortality for man and for man
alone, has confirmed the tendency to put
the animal mind as far below the human
as possible, and SO we find Descartes set
ting forth the hypothesis that animals are
unthinking automatic.
Not forever, however, was the animal
world to suffer this indignity at the hands
of man. Thinkers themselves prepared the
way for a rapprochement between the two.
More particularly the English philosophers,
from Locke onward, together with their
French followers, pursuing their modest
task of tracing back our abstract ideas to
impressions of sense, may be said by sort
of leveling down process to have favored
the idea of mental kinship between man
and brute. This work of the philosophers
has been supplemented by the leveling up
work of the modern biologist
There is not the least doubt that the
wide and accurate observation of animal
habits by the naturalists of the last CEN
tury has tended to raise very greatly our
estimate of their mental powers. So that
it would seem as if in the estimation of
animal intelligence, scientific knowledge is
coming round to the opinion of the vulgar.

When Charlemagne and his "Knights of
the Round Table" were making war on the
Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor of their re-
spective armies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge -the dreaded
invaders-of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.
Consumption fastens its hold upon its vic
Tins while they are unconscious of its ap-

The Potato Among Germans.

1t is doubtful whether many of our Ger
man fellow citizens, from the north of the
Fatherland especially, who can afford it,
will sit down to a holiday dinner without
their dish of German potatoes before them
in some form or shape of culinary art.
The endless variety of dishes prepared of
potatoes in their totality, known only to
German cooks and German housewives,
would fill half column. There is Ger
man restaurant not many squares from
the corner of South and Baltimore streets
whose Saturday potato pancake lunches
are famous all over Maryland.
Even sauerkraut without mashed pota-
toes is only half delicacy to the true leu
ton. Herring, however, with boiled or
roasted potatoes in the shell, is the ne plus
ultra appetizer before or after genuine
Bavarian. But as only the genuine Ger
man herring is the true solace for the
thirsty soul after a banquet among the
singers or students, so only the genuine
German potato is the proper ingredient for
a genuine German "kartoffel salat," or,
which is still sublimer, a "hering salat."-
