dence, and the expectation of American
meats has gone on without interruption.
The decision Of the court at Kansas City
seems to sweep away the whole law, for
if Congress has ms right to provide for
local inspection of animals or meats in
tended for interstate commerce it is equal
ly devoid of power to direct the inspection
of those intended for foreign export. The
effect of such decision could hardly fail
to be injurious to our foreign trade in
meats, especially in pork products. The
court intimates that the power of local in
spection belongs exclusively to the States.
Such inspection would not satisfy foreign
governments They know the United States
government and respect a United States
certificate of inspection, but they do not
know the States and would not respect
state certificate. The decision seems to be
one of those which use the Constitution to
prevent the national government from ex-
ercising necessary and beneficial powers
which otherwise cannot be exercised at all.

THE MEAT-1NsPECTIoN LAW.

If the decision of the United States Court

intended for export for foreign countries,
pork as we'll as beef, and may have an in
furious effect on our foreign trade. The
law providing for the inspection of meats
was passed in 1891 in order to meet objec-
tions raised by some European governments
regarding the sanitary condition of Ameri-
can meats, especially hog products. 1t pro-
vides that the secretary of agriculture shall
cause to be made a careful inspection of
all cattle intended for export alive to
foreign countries, with view to ascertain
whether such cattle are free from disease;
also, of all cattle the meat of which is in
tended for export, and ''of all cattle, sheep
or hogs which are subjects of interstate
commerce. and which are to be slaughtered
at slaughter houses, canning, sailing or
packing establishments in any State, and
all carcasses the products of which are to
be exported and sold for human consump-
ton into any other State or Territory"
This applies to all cattle and all hogs and
hog products intended for foreign export
or interstate commerce. The law gives the
secretary OF agriculture authority to make

TO INCREASE USE OF CORN.
Object of the Maize Propaganda Ike
planned by President Carr.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-Meetings OF
the subcommittee on organization, leglS-
lation and finance of American Maize
Propanganda, a national organization to
promote the larger use of Indian corn in the
Omitted States and foreign countries, were
held in this city to-day to perfect the or
ganization and mature plans for further
action Among those present were Colonel
Clark E. Carr, president, and b. W. Snow,
secretary, both of Illinois; Andrew Lang
don, of Buffalo; Herbert Myrick, editor OF
the American Agriculturist, New York, and
w. w. Gibbs, of Pennsylvania. Plans We're
formulated by which it is expected to Sc
cure the cooperation of every farmer in
the country, especially in the great corn
belt, who produces corn, and of the manu-
facturers by all known processes to prepare
corn and cornstalks for consumption.
and commercial uses. Endorsement already
received from press and people encourages
the committee to believe that the consump-
ton of corn will be greatly augmented and
add large percentage to the value Of the
crop.
AFTER the meeting President Carr said:
I'VE have reason 10 believe that as re-
suit of the plans which have been perfected,
and which we will proceed at once to carry
out the membership of this organization
will soon include very large proportion
together with the manufacturers or all
kinds of corn products IN sucn manner AZ
to be potential IN creating public sentl1
ment and influencing such proper and wise
legislation as may be required to advance
the interests of corn. One of the things
which we shall ask will be an adequate
presentation of corn and it's products be-
fore the people of the world at the Paris
exposition. i his is in addition TO the special
purpose we have in view in conducting
propaganda at home to educate our own
people as to the virtues Of corn in its mani
fold forms. To this end first object IS
to hold a great corn exposition, cooking
school, etc., in connection with the Trans"
missouri Exposition at Omaha this summer
or fall, followed by similar work at the
Panamerican Exposition at Buffalo next
year and a still larger enterprise at Paris
in 1900. In addition to this, moreover we
are now considering arranging a circuit OF
corn cooking schools and corn food eXpOsi-
tons in all the principal cities. We belieVa
that in this way we can bring the virtues
of this crop directly to the knowledge OF
the masses who most need it. Information
has been received that state organizations
in Indiana, Illinois and Nebraska are al
ready being perfected and are under way
in other States, and will be extended
throughout the country. The national or
ganizaton will be Incorporated under the
laws of Illinois, with its general offices in

The Louisiana constitutional convention is
considering but one questionable disfran-
chisement of the negro. The leaders make
no concealment Of their purpose, the dis
cussion being over the manner of accom-
plishing it. The educational test, which has
been resorted to in Mississippi and South
Carolina, will disfranchise thousands of
whites, which cannot be Gone without
arousing open opposition. Consequently
the convention IS considering a compound
scheme OF educational and property quail
ification The man who has given amount
of property can vote If he cannot read. AS
the larger part of the illiterate whites have
the amount of property required and the
begro has not, the illiterate white can vote
while the illiterate negro is disfranchised.
The suffrage committee OF the convention
had Judge Simrall, of Mississippi, before it.
He declared that the greatest civic act per-
formed in the South since the last gun
was fired at Appomattox was the work of
the Mississippi convention of 1890. the eff
feet of which was to disfranchise the negro.
He declared that it ''has worked like
charm This means that the negro, no
longer a voter, is no longer feared, because
he has no valid standing in the courts, and
is at the mercy of the white who employs
labor. Mr.. L. II. Farrar. in a speech, urged
the convention to place the property quail
ihcation just above the reach OF the negro.
Mr. Farrar went on as follows:
The negro will always do your field work.
the mental work, the work of the lower
strata. Nature has fitted the negro for this
class of work This is because he has only
the alternating instinct such as the bear
or the squirrel. He has net the economic
capacity of the white man. They have no
thrift no saving propensities. Some few
may initiate white men, but only a few.

the Louisiana convention. does not object
to the educational qualifications. but he In

Mr. George M. Coffin, president OF the
Blavatsky branch of the Theosophlcal So
ciety in America, gives this short and easy
definition of theosophy: 1T is really
study of divine wisdom as 1t has been
sought and taught by the greatest minds IN
all ages. 1t may be pursued by any per-
son of average intelligence, willing TO un-
dertake the easy task of examining an or
binary encyclopedia, or the abundant inter-
ature put forth by the theosophical move
ment of the present day." The classitica-
ton of an encyclopedia as a compendium
of divine wisdom is new and interesting.
And who would even suspect, If they had
not been told, that the deep, dark and
mysterious screeds put forth by theoso-
phists concerning their cherished doctrines
were divine utterances?

A remark by Secretary of the Navy Long
to the effect that the element of Spanish
responsibility had been eliminated from the
incident of the Maine disaster, seems to
have caused considerable gossip in Wash
ington yesterday. The remark had greater
interest because it was made just after u
Cabinet meeting. The secretary subse-
quently explained that he meant that the
question of any official participation by the
Spanish government in the destruction of
the ship was practically eliminated in his
judgment, and that this was a personal
not an official expression. At such time
as this q member of the Cabinet should not
expect the public to discriminate between
a personal and an official expression of
opinion on the all-absorbing topic of the
day. AS for participation by the Spanish
government in the actual blowing up of the
Maine, scarcely anybody suspects that but
there still remains the question of Spanish
responsibility if the disaster was caused by
a submarine torpedo, fired by Spanish
subject.

road are constantly getting Endorsement for
the excellence of their plant and the efil-
cheney of their service; yet it not infre-
quently happens that at the hour when peo-
pie most need the service the lines are dis
abled On Monday night, at the hour that
people were Fastening home, or DESTROYS Of
Fastening home, most of the lines were
stalled forty minutes or more. The excuse
is that they were repairing one boiler and
the other sprung a. leak. The excuse is
confession of an inadequacy of motive
power-a shortcoming which should annul
the charter of the company. There were
hundreds of people, weary, having cares at
home, stopped on the street by corpora
ton because it has not sufficient power to
run its cars, or, if it is sufficient, is liable
to accident when the service is most re-
quired. When a new charter shall be made

pose a heavy fine for such inadequacy OF

The first bout between the State of Indi-
ana and the Ripley county lynchers and
their friends has resulted in favor Of the
latter. The State was not exactly knocked
out, but by dint of false swearing it was
prevented from making a case strong
enough TO compel country justice OF the
peace to do his duty in spite of threaten
ing local sentiment The State did make a
strong circumstantial case against the de-
PENDANT, Hughes. and he ought TO have been
held to answer the action of the grand jury,
but after rather an ostentatious parade Of
anxiety to do his duty, sleepless nights,
wrestling in prayer. etc, the local justice
OF the peace discovered that his duty lay in
the prisoners discharge. The state authors
ties have made good fight. and while they
liave been defeated they may renew the at
tack on a different line.

The pending election in Spain for mem

congressional election, will have consider
able interest in the way of representing
popular feeling in that country. 1t is quite
surprising to hear of the ignorance that
prevails there regarding the relative fight

States. If this ignorance should find ex-
preston in the election of a Spanish war
congress it might prove very unfortunate
for Spain.
