"Corn Dodger" Murphy's Efforts.

BERLIN, April 10. - The representatives.
here of q New York firm have received 500
sacks of cornmeal which they are supply
ing to the bakers of Berlin. Despite the
efforts of Col. Charles j. Murphy, special
representative in Europe of the United
States. Agricultural Department. the Ger
man government has not yet declared it's
intention of adopting corn for army use.
The time seems to have gone by when there
was the best chance of the acceptance of
cOrnmeal by the government a year ago
the scarcity of grain here appeared to open
the market to cornmeal. Now. however
the crop prospects being good and the sup
plies of corn and rye more plentiful. the
necessity for the use of cornmeal as sub
stitute for wheat is less apparent. Colonel
Murphy holds that the government is still
bound to introduce the meal into the army.

President Higginbotham of the
Worlds Fair has addressed a letter to
each congressman and senator upon the
Sunday opening question. The letter
gives the resolutions in favor of Sun.
day opening adopted by the board OF
directors on Nov. II, 1892, and states
that the writer and all others connect
ed with the management of the fair
know that the vast majority of the peo-
pie of the United States is i'm favor of
opening the gates seven days a week.
In conclusion President Higginbotham
asks if the great exposition "must be
hidden from the toiling thousands be-
cause to view it would prostitute the
American Sabbath" The letter ur-
gently asks that the matter be recon
sidered in favor of open gates on Sun
day.

Lieutenant Peary's determination to
undertake another expedition into the
Arctic regions will probably be carried
out i'm view of the fact that Secretary
Tracy has granted three years leave
OF absence to the gallant explorer.
The tendency to carp at undertakings
of this kind as fruitless and foolhardy
is hardly justified. Anything that adds
TO the sum of human knowledge has a
value beyond price, and present knowl-
edge of the north friged zone is such
as to materially diminish the hazards
of earlier explorations. 1t is announc-
ed that Lieutenant Peary will make the
main object of his next expedition the
gathering of geographical information,
and this certainly should win for his
expedition the approval of even the
most practical minds.

A careful business man, if he desires
to employ another to do his business
for him, would naturally select one who
had evidenced his capacity by being
successful in his own affairs. Why
should not the same rule apply in the
selection of public officialsg Yet we
hear men cavil against the re- election
of Senator StOckbridge because che is
a millionaire" The mere fact of a
man being the possessor of large wealth,
acquired by his own efforts, should not
be an argument against his qualifica-
tiOns for office, but on the contrary
would seem to be the best evidence oi
good judgment, foresight, care and pru
dence. 1t is causeless attempt tC
make party capital by appealing to ig
noble prejudices. The official record
of Senator Stock bridge is clean and his
private life has always been pure. Add
to this the well established preceden
of giving to a faithful official seconC
term, and we can see no reason why
Francis B. Stock bridge should not bt
his own successor in the United States
senate. First term members of thu
state legislature will do well to keel
in mind the precedent alluded to.

Those who know the the real charac-
ter Of the Mugwump demagogue who
masquerades as Governor of Massachu-

ed readiness To accept an Office which,
by every rule that prevails among per-
sons of honor, belongs to another man.
1t is probably useless to point out to
such an individual that self respect,
respect for the high and honored
Office of Governor of the Bay State,
and decent regard for the will of the
people, demand that he should sprren.
der his seat at the close of his present
term in view of the fact that VIM. H
Halle, the Republican candidate, re.
ceived plurality of more than 10000
votes for the office of Governor, those
votes being made technically void by
an obvious blunder. The man who has
slandered his native State to gain the
paudits of the enimies of its people
who has antagonized the interests ol
Massachusetts industry, and who has
belittled the thrift, the energy and the
success of Massachusetts workingmen
who, while preaching reforms, has
never hesitated To use sinister methods
of carrying an election, will undoubt
edly be deaf to any appeal made on
the ground of equity.
Russell will in all probability con

has not the slightest moral right

From Boston comes the informa-
tion, given out by Prof. Colt of the
Boston University, that there are seven
comets now visible in the sky. This
information, if true, may account for
the wide differences of opinion, shown
by those supposed to be authorities on
astronomical matters, concerning the
celestial vagrant to which so much
attention has been given Of late. If
there are seven comets in sight, it is
barely possible that one astronomer
may have been observing one while
other readers of the heayens have been
following other brilliant tramps.
And so it may be that one comet is
coming toward the earth and another
is running away; that one is very bright
and another very dim; that one flying
on with velocity inconceivable and an
other is sailing in very leisurely way
through the sky. The statement of the
Boston professor is godsend to his
brethren of the telescope who have
been making calculations, predictions
and assertions SO utterly contradictory
Each may now have comet of his own
to toy with. And, SO long as the
celestial strangers are invisible to the
naked eye, the astronomers can go on
with their statements without fear of
contradiction from laVmen who have
no telescopes.

A number of the Georgia Legislative

are obliged to work in water ankle and

water trickling down upon their heads

indeed, be surprising if the people of
the North and West should forget or

which the whole energies of the loyal

pensioners is large because the struggle
was without precedent in its magnitude

because it drew on nearly every loyal
