A NEW MARRET FOR CORN.

The bankers convention, at Peoria,
the other Gay, adopted a resolution
looking to the opening of larger mar
ket for American corn, and the Chicago
Record thinks that this may be taken
as a sign that the bankers are going
to deal with economic and financial
problems in a broad way and with a
liberal view to the expansion of all
trades and industries.
1t has been noticed by many travel
ers that the European nations are
strangely unaware of the value CT corn,
both as a food product and in the va
rious uses to which Americans put it.
Wheat is the staple in Europs, the
trade in corn being inconsiderable.
Yet this is one Of the most useful and
one of the cheapest products of the soil.
It's production is peculiarly adapted
to American climate and conditions.
The vast crops which are grown here
for home consumption might be in
creased with profit were a larger mar
ket to be found, and there is no reason
why corn, more than wheat or barley,
should not be exported in quantities
highly profitable to the American agri-
Culturist. The farmer would benefit,
but so would the middlemen and the
effect in increasing transportation IA
cilities and cheapening the rates Of
expectation in vessels with foreign bot
toms would be immensely beneficial.
All that is needed is that the Euro
peans should be educated as to the util-
ity, cheapness and general value Of this
distinctively American product. In
calling upon the proper officials to ex-
ert themselves for an exceptional corn
display at the Paris Exposition, in
1900, therefore, the bankers are doing
a good stroke both on behalf of the
farmer and for the general welfare Of
American trade and commerce. 1t is
to be hoped that the call will meet
with a hearty response, and that both
in the Exposition and through the eff
forts of Consuls and diplomatic agents
the work of developing a corn market
in Europe will be set rapidly under
way. In passing it may be said that
some Western millers are now building
up a prosperous trade in corn products
with Iv,,rODoor, oO,,,,+,tioc
The opportunities for the expansion
of this trade seems boundless. Even
for home consumption wheat flour is
largely mixed with corn flour by some
of the millers Of this country That
millions of people of Europe soon will
be fed with cheap and wholesome
bread, made largely of American corn,
is a prophecy which no one is likely
to dispute who is familiar with this
new and growing trade in corn pro-
ducts from Western mills.

his pen.


John NJ. Thurston, the sage brush
Senator and Union Pacific lobbyist, is
stamping Greater New York for his
friend Boss Platt's candidate. Thmston
almost weeps when he thinks of the
trightfuh calamities that would over
take thd nation if a Democrat were
elected, Mayor of New York. When he
thinks of that possibility, not to say
probability, he feels the very founda-
ton stones of the republic trembling.
Or. as Western contemporary puts
it. Thurston has not been so profound
~ affected since foreclosure proceed
ings were instituted against his rail-
road.
4 tell you, he exclaimed, that there
will be no more Republican Presidents
for years to come if you DO not elect
Mr.. Tracy Mayor of yourcity.'
This was the eliminating horror
with which he, threatened the New
<Yorkers in case they failed to ratify
Moss Platt's choice for the Mayoralty.
Perhaps his audience didn't appreciate
the Impending danger, but it is very
real to Mr.. Thurston.
No Republican President, no ami
heable arrangements about forfeited land
grants. No Republican President, no
pleasant agreements upon government
transportation contracts. No Repub-
lican President, no skullduggery about
interest payments. No Republican
President, no INSCRIPTIONS agent
needed at Washington. Ergo, Thurston
out of job.
And the distressing thing about it is
that Thurston's gloomy forebodings are
sure to be realized. Tracy is going to
be beaten, there won't be any more
Republican Presidents, and poor but
somewhat virtuous statesman will have
to rely upon-his Senatorial salary for
his keep.
The republic has received another
bump in the solar plexus.

these fifteen were from yellow fever. tGen-
ty-nine from entoric and pernicous fe-

five from enteritis. He says the decline in
yellow fever is only apparent. the disease
having caused deaths classed under diff
ferent head. There are. however. not so
many cases OF yellow fever in the military
hospitals as there were two months ago.
The sick soldiers are being cared for in
hospitals elsewhere.
The inspector says the large death list
from enteritis and dysentery is caused 10y
the lack of nutritious food. and the death
rate will probably increase. Unless the

RESIDENTS JUBILANT.
Completion of Railway to sligo Cause.
Great Rejoicing.

Great Rejoicing.
The residents in the vicinity OF Sligo,
Montgomery county, Nd, are jubilant over
the completion of the new electric railway
of the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company. The first car will be run in a
day or two. and before the close OF the
week the road will be in regular operation.
The new road affords great convenience
to the residents beyond Brightwood Park
1t begins al the junction OF the Brightwood
electric railway. passes through Takoina
Park, and for the present terminates at a
point near Sligo creek. 1t is understood
that the owners of the road int nd TO es-
tablish summer resort at its present Ter
minus. Eventually ii will be extended &c
Sandy Spring. In fact, a committee is
try for the purpose OF securing the CO.
operation of the property owners.
1t is estimated that the twelve miles ex-
tension will cost in the reghborhood OF
s22O,3Oo. OF this the company proposes Ia
furnish two-thirds, IL the property owners
will subscribe the remainder.
There is little doubt that the road will
be extended, as the country through which
it will run is thickly populated, and de-
cidedly isolated so far as railroad faciii-
ties are concerned. The building of the
road to Sligo was done by the Mont somery
Construction Company OF Baltimore.

ing along side by side, burdened with books.
They will be seen passing to and fro be-
tween their home and school twice daily,
until another vacation arrives, next June.
The superintendent Prediction.
Superintendent Powell stated to n Star
reporter this afternoon as his opinion that
in the neighborhood of 5000 pupils will be
enrolled in the schools of the District be-
fore the close of the month. The attend
ance last year aggregated 1900 pupils. The
average annual increase is about 500. The
change of political administration last
March and the appointment TO public Office
here of a large number of outsiders may
figure to a considerable extent in the in
creased attendance.
A statement that was true at the open
ing of the schools year ago holds good
today. The Year opens with better pro-
visions for the accommodation of pliJi,s
than ever before. There are more build
ings ready for use. and fewer basement
and garnet rooms employed for school Dur
poses. 1t is q cause for rejoicing today
also. that there has been a decrease rather
than an increase in the number of half
day schools. Heretofore there has been a
congestion of halliday schools in the north
east section OF the city. There were a
number of cases last year where the DupiIs
even in the third and fourth grades were
cut down to one session day. New build
ings have been completed, though and the
undesirable situation thereby greatly i'm
proved.
Halliday Sessions Farce.
Superintendent Powell thinks that the
halliday school is really a farce In his
opinion. three hours day. even for the
youngest pupils, is not sufficient amount
of time to devote to study. The children.
he thinks. have not the opportunity with
such meth DDS as must be adopted under
the halliday system to fully digest what
they are studying. The superintendent
says it is altogether too much a case of
'ipse dixit'' or ''memoriter learning and
not the sort that constitutes the best edu-
cation, where the pupil gets in the habit
of study and learns how to make the best
of his opportunities. Superintendent Pow
ell rests On the hope that the time is not
