The extension of the civil service rules r. to certain grades of the consular service affects about one-half of our consuls. MT. Lucien Julien Walker. MT. J. Court ncy HiXson, and other Alaba amians may under this ruling remain in the consular service, although there may be a change in the administration. The consuls will retain or lose their positions through ex- aminations confined to their class. This extension of the civil service rules should be the first step toward the establish ment iii this country of a consular school. This school or college would turn out trained diplomats. ready for the consul lar service. It is thus that England and other countries have maintained such
 an excellent diplomatic corps. An in- cident showing the difference in training between English and American consuls

 The problem with the farmers of the United States is, what shall we do with
 our com? The corn crop this year amounts=to 2,50e,O0e,00O bushels, which is ailf1astsas muchsagafn as the usual crop. There is no demand for the surplus: at home for all sections of the country have bountful crops. A few of the coast towns, such as Savannah, furnish the only home market The South has made more corn than it needs, and will not buy from the West as usual. The Western farmers are already burning corn instead of coal for fuel. The coal costs them 45 cents bushel. and corn is worth not half so much. The Northwestern farmers will store a large amuont of their corn and carry it over toyanother year. rather than sell at prevailing low prices. They have the advantage over the Southern farmers in being thus enabled to store their corn. The hong hard winters of the Northwest kill outsthe weevils and other insects that destroy corn in the bins, Of course there will be large export trade in corn, and England will take a great deal, for the crops are failure in Great Britain this year.

In his wrath he said to his broth CT, ''I have a mind to stab you with this knife and let all the blood out of you" But after a moments reflection he added No, I won't do that, for if all the Win ter blood was out of you it's certain that you would steal hogs.'S It's only the. gold that circulates in the life-blood of the country that keeps us from disreputable practices.

 It is asserted as fact that an officer of one of the leading white metaI. papers of Alabama knocked earnestly at the treasury of the silver league in Chi cago recently, crying for assistance, with the positive assurance that the amount asked for would bring good results. Mir
 Warner asked the gentleman for a show down of the goods to be delivered in re- turn for the amount asked for. After considerable discussion MT Warner po- litely informed his royal highness from the great State of Alabama that he had nothing to deliver, that Alabama was practically in the hands of the sound money men, and the silver league had use for all the funds at present in the treasury; they could use their surplus to better advantage in other States. It is said the aforesaid officer returned home with sorrow in his heart and the knowl- edge of the fact in his mind that all is not silver that glitters, and that he and associates were more conversant with other lines of business than that of run ming newspaper on white metal lines
