quietest in the states history, Generally
the returns showed falling off in the

Bryan has carried the state by majorties

10000. Holton, Republican chairman, how

Reports are too meager to state the re-
suit for congressman. The Popuists have
carried the First, Third, Fourth, Sixth and
Seventh districts. The Republicans have

--s------@--------'-- 4 FRCTTIE ESS W4IR,

There will be no war with Spain. At war between congress and Grover Cleveland Indeed, the clash of re- sounding words can already be heard. The result of the war between congress and the president, if it should be waged to an end, is in less doubt than that of most wars Cleveland would win. He has congress in a worse position than the Cuban insurgents have Spain in. The Cameron resolution will not be passed before the holiday recess. If it should be passed after the recess the president could hold it ten days, Then he could veto it. If it were then passed over his veto there is no power to make him act. Congress alone cannot recog- nize a State and make formal procla- mation of such recognition. Cleveland might possibly be impeached for refus- ing to act in accordance with the will of congress. But it would require q de- cision of the Supreme court to deter mine whether he is wrong or right in his contention that he alone has the power to recognize Cuba. Only in the event that he is declared to be wrong would an impeachment lie against him. And long before the court could pass upon the question, long before articles of impeachment could be framed and tried, he would be out of office, and Cuba would perhaps be free or recon quered.
 So it is hardly worth while for con gress to spend several months in fight ing Cleveland and fighting the business of the country. They want peace with honor In Cuba. We want peace with honor and business activity in this country.

----"-----------7 - THE USEFUL CORNST1LK.

The man that can make two blades of grass grow where none grew before Is a benefactor, and so is the man who can make grass useful in a way In which it has not been useful before. Within a short time a. man in Tennes- see has invented a process for making that is far superior to anything yet discovered for packing behind the ar nor plates of warships, and that, can be supplied at handsome profit to the maker at lower price than has been paid heretofore for other substances. This invention set the chemist employ ed by the Cramps of Philadelphia to experimenting. The other day MT Cramp entertained a select company of senators and representatives from the great growing western States in Washington and exhibited to them the results of his chemists work. He ex- plained that his chemist had discover ed that cornstalks could be made worth s2 ton, or $5 an acre, by mechanism which would extract from them alco hol. cellulose, material for mattings. carpets, paper, smokeless powder and cattle food superior to any other The direct benefits to the farmers of the six great corn growing States of the West would be over s225, 5,OOo, ,ooO per annum, on acreage of less than 40,000000.
 This is cheering, and if somebody will fix things so that the farmers of the West can get $5 an acre for their corn as we'll as for their cornstalks they will feel better.
