E USES OF CORN.

According to the Chicago Tribune "the
enforced economy made necessary dur
Ing the last few years has undoubtedly
encouraged an Important substitution of
corn for wheat as q breadstuff. Even
when he disparity between the prices
or corn and wheat was less marked than
at the present time, the substitution of
corn, particularly in the a%dulteration Of
wheat flour, began to attract general
attention in milling circles. BY improy-
ed corn milling processes the proportion
of corn flour which wheat flour will car
~ without detection has been greatly
increased during the last few years, and
the Tribune declares there Is an appar-
ent desire on part of the millers to with
hold data on this subject. Notwthstand-
ing the wholesomeness OF products of
he great American cereal. II
must be admitted thai the great part
Oh the corn which has been put in con-
sumption has masquesaded under guisc
of wheat flour. The consumptio of
corn for human beings Is greater in this
country than abroad. It Is particularly
large In the South, and it Is safe to say
that a great part of the flour milled
for the Southern trade during the las
two years has carried n full quota of
corn"
1t Is said that very many people do not
object to the mixture, yet 1t would seem
more honest for the manufacturer to SO
stamp his corn -four, made of wheat and
corn, that the consumer might know
what he Is getting when purchasing.
The Chicago Times, however, says
that 1t has long been an open secret that
low grade fours carry from Is to 20 per
cent. OF corn meal. 1t declares that
there is no cheat in the case, that 1t can
see. 1t says that the competition in
the trade reduced prices to such a low
point that, to make any profit, the adul-
tenant must be used. Thousands, tens
of thousands OF barrels of -four are sold
In this country that do not yield q net
profit to the mill of 8 cents per barrel.
Many managers Of large Touring estab-
ishments think they are lucky If they
make even" on the flour. and have the
bran and shorts as net profile.
This may be true. but, all the same,
1t Is dishonest to sell -four made of corn
and wheat when the purchaser
he is getting pure wheat flour, and
nothing less can be made Of it.

TARIFF

The Telegram, OF Hartford, Conn,
calls attention to the fact that the first
months operations Of the Dingley bill
have produced a deficit larger even than
Democratic apprehers.ons had lnd!cat-
ed or that expert opinion had foresecn.
Fnr instance, expenditures for the month
exceeded revenues by more than sea-
900. 900. The customs receipts for August
this year were S6.9S7, 7Oo. The cumtoms
receipts for August Of last year aggre-
gated $12.3 29, 1876.
The total receipts from all sources
during August were $40, 023, GA, and for
the two mCrths OF the present fiscal
year $5S, 1878. The total expenditures
for the month were 500, SIS, 047, which in
cluded nearly $l4.0 900. coo paid on account
of pensions. The total expenditures for
the fiscal year thus far have been $S3,-
SSO.2S7. Last year for the corresponding
period the receipts were $5i, 559, sos and
expenditures ST.. 790, IA.
These figures show the difference be-
tween q Democratic revcnue tariff md
n Republican protective tariff. The
~ ~ NV D'iSitS blt tNCtpu
on an average those OF the Wilson bill
nearly 20 per cent, and yet the deficit
under the Dingley law surpasses by
more than $4,000, 900 for the first fiscal
period that OF the corresponding period
of the Wilson law.
1t Is the opinicn OF the Telegram that
If the present rate OF deficit continues.
ana there is no reason 20 think II will
not, 1t is absolutely certain that the.
administration Will have to resort to a
bond issue In order to meet the Govern
mcnt's obligation or divert from tho
uses for which they were intended funds
appropriated by Congress for river and
harbor improvements, NJ suggested hv
senator Allison, one of the fathers of
the D.nsley bill in the Senate. This &c

which will never receive the approval M

TO DE f.

The criticism Of Mrs. Jefferson Davis
and her daughter, which appeared n few
days since in the Birmingham Age
Herald, has provoked no little comment
in all sections of the country, and neither
the one or the other is calculated to do
any good. While the Southern people
would. Of course, prefer hat these ladies
should make their home In the South,
yet, since they have elected otherwise,
1t Is n matter about which the Southern
people should not concern themselves.
That Mrs. Davis and her daughtet
should prefer living at the North in pre-
terence to the South. Is naturally re-
GREETED, but after all 1t is their business,
and the fact that they so prefer Is no
reason why they should be subjected to
the criticisms which many newspapers
In the South have placed upon them.
If Mrs. Davis and her daughter find 1t
more convenient or pleasant to live in
the North tina elsewhere, they should
be permitted to do so N peace, what
ever may be the wishes OF the people of
the South in the matter. There may
be some sentiment on the subject on the
part of the Southern people, but since
every nal and woman are the best
judges as to their own wants II de-
sires. and since these ladies have but
exercised hat right In residing at the
North, the proper thing for us to do is
to foreEo our wishes on the subject and
say nothing,

Washington for several weeks. and ac-
cording to a recent press dispatch lie
was inspecting some OF the coast de-
fences and studying the channels at
points in Florida. Taking these two
reports together, officials of the War
Department are inclined to believe that
Lieutenant Sabrol has been muking a
systematic study of the defences OF the
ports on the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts Of the United States.
IF he has confined his inspections to
what may be seen by any visitor to these
places, no complaint will be made by
this Government. II. 1t should be
learned, however, hat he has succeeded
In inspecting works to which the public
Is not admitted, or that he has even
attempted to do so. the attention OF his
Government you'd be Immediately
called to the matter and his recall will
be demanded.
The reports that have reached Wash
ington of the visits of this attche to
southern ports are regarded as an in
dication that the Spanish Government
regards war with the United States as
q possible outcome of the Cuban diff
Guilty, and Is gathering as much infor-
nation as possible as to the military and
naval strength Of his country
This is a serious piece or business and
doubtless will command the attention of
the authorities at Washington at once.

;rmE YELLOW Fever OUTDOORS.

1t Is fortunate that the season most
favorable to the development of the yell
low fever epidemic has passed. or quite
so.othcrwise the outbreak Of that dreaded
disease at Ocean Springs. Miss, might
prove difficult to hsndle. but as 1t Is,
the authorities will be able TO confine
1t to narrow limits.
Frost will soon make It's appearance.
and with the excellent facilities at hand
the health departments Will prevent a
spread Of the disease. DR.. Guiteras. of
the United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice at Philadelphia, who Is perhaps
.one of the best authorities in the world
on the disease, says that the fever at
Ocean Springs will not spread owing to
The lateness of the season. and that there
is little danger Of it's temperance next
year owing to the great precaution
which will be taken to prevent It's re-
appearance.
