AMERICA IN PARIS.

The United States government is un-
questionably making extensive prepar-
atoms for a war with Spain. which war
would inevitably cost the French
holders of Spanish securities almost as
much as the war would cost Spain,
aside from its possible or rather prob
able loss of nationality; yet, the Unit
ed States government is arranging for
a magnificent display at the Paris ex-
position in 1900. France has been mott
flying the authorities Of this country,
so it is claimed, that a declaration of
war against Spain would be equivalent
to a declaration of war against France,
in the face of which covert threat this
government is seeking for an enlarge
ment of the original allotment of space
in the Paris Exposition Buildings. The
pending sundry civil appropriation bill
contains an item of 100000 for the
French Exposition, and a provision for
the appointment of a commissioner
general at a salary of $4,000; an assist
ant at $4,000. and a secretary at "a, 900,

pected that the total expense will reach
about 100000. In other words Ameri-

CORN-FED GIRLS.

At time when corn in Kansas was
| hardly worth hauling to market, some
editor suggested the query: What
shall we do with our corn" About the
same time some sort of an educational
assemblage or equal suffrage associa-
ton propounded the conundrum: What
shall we do with our girls?" Another
editor solved the puzzle by suggesting
that we feed our corn to our girls. and
the whole state grinned over the self
evidence of the thing. COrn-fed girls
might prove all around desirable, but
Kansas girls are not given to corn feed
ing. Wheat is too plentiful, flour too
cheap. They partake sparingly of the
products of corn which have been man
ipulated by the packing house or butch
er, but the consumption in the raw
sumed in dodgers and pone, not to men,
ton in its fluid distillation in Missouri
and other states. It's consumption,
aside as a food for hogs and cattle,
constitutes an important economical
consideration. If the people of Euro
pean countries, at least such as are
compelled to coarse foods, could be
made to realize the value of corn as a
food, the market for this American pro-
duct would be greatly stimulated. Mr.
John Whitaker, the packer informed
the editor of the Eagle that he made a
systematic effort, covering several
years, to acquaint the poor of the prin-
ciple cities of Europe with the value of
the American maize as a food in the
way of bread, porridges, etc. An ac-
count of a convention of corn growers,
held in Chicago, last week, who met for
the purpose of devising means to send
to foreign countries agents to work up
a trade in corn. says that so far we
have not been able to convince strang-
ers of the healthfulness, palatability
and cheapness of the many products of
Indian corn made in this country. Very
little of these products find a market
abroad. Neither Englishmen, Germans
nor Frenchmen have tried them. 1t is a
difficult matter to get foreigners to
taste. much less to buy. products of
maize. The corn congressman agreed
that if European nations could be pre-
vailed upon to exchange some of the
rye they consume in the shape of black
bread. for corn meal, or if the Asiatics
could be made TO know that life did not
depend altogether on rice, corn would
be a welcome and cheap substitute. A
little of our corn goes abroad in the
shape of pork and whisky, but ii is de-
sirable to send it in greater quantities
in a clearer and less sublimated condi-
ton. Hot tamales ought TO commend
themselves TO the astronomical discre-
ton of even Turks and Cossacks, TO say
nothing of epicures of whatever station
or nationality, and tamales not only
call for corn meal, but the husks as
we'll

YET THEY CALL US LIMOGES.

No later than 1873 Spain not only in
suited the United States, but by diplo-
matte intrigues, after having outraged
honor and decency. avoided reparation.
In that year the Virginius, a vessel fly
ing the American flag, was seized by
the Spanish war steamer Tornado, on
the high seas, under the pretense that
the American vessel intended to land
men and arms in Cuba. The capture
took place on the last day Of October.
Four Cubans found on the vessel were
shot four days later, and a few days
after that the captain and number Of
Americans were also executed. Grant
was present at the time, and General
Dan Sickles minister to Spain. The
American people were aroused, but
Spain notified our government that no
official demand from this country
would be necessary, as the Madrid gov
eminent would Immediately institute a
thorough inquiry and make reparation
IF any was found necessary. Both
Grant and Sickles learned later to their
sorrow that the wiley Dons had tricked
them.
Ia protecting her own citizens this
country has always been remiss. Eng
land compelled Spain to pay $4,000
that's her price for every Englishman
executed, or there would have been
war. The American citizens were
ruthlessIy murdered, and it was a long
time before a small indemnity was
wormed out Of Spain, which country
then. as now, held the United States
in great contempt.
a contrast between Great Britain's
energetic diplomacy and the good ma
tured trust of the government at Wash
ington found a striking example in that
Virginius incident. In the crew Of the
Virginius was an Irishman, who, with
the rest was hastily court martialed
and condemned. He sent for the Bri-
fish consul and convinced him of his
British citizenship. The time of execu-
ton was but a few hours distant, and
promptness was necessary. The con-
demned were led out to be executed;
the file of soldiers was drawn up, when
the dapper and insignificant looking
British consul demanded Of the com
mandant that the Irishman be taken
from the line and turned over to him.
The request was refused; in a flash the
consul whipped from his pocket small
British flag, advanced between the SOL
diers and the condemned and fastened
ii on the Irishman. Fire on that flag
if you dare" he proclaimed 1t is need
less to say that the Irishman was not
shot; but the thirty-eight Americans
who had to wait on diplomatic methods
found their fate that morning.

MANSON ON ANDREE.

Nothing has been heard of the An

said to have been brought back on the
wings of the wind by a pigeon or two.
One of these indicated that the wind
winds still continue to sweep back and
forth and around, about and over
those ice-bound and almost illimitable
regions Of cold and snow, but no word
hansen thinks that Andree and his
companions are safe. Of Nansen' 5
knowIedgs Of those regions there is no
question. But he knows as little Of the
field of air attempted to be traversed
by Andree, as little of the currents of
that superintendent ocean of frost
and flying SHOWS which hover over the
Arctic circle as any Of the rest of US.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
the weather bureau, with wires reach
ing everywhere, can more than make a
shrewd guess Of what it's direction or
strength twenty-four hours in advance.
Nansen knows that once on terra firma
or rather in an ice hut, that the Arctic
circle is a quiet retreat in which to
write a book and to get up a paying
lecture. But of what became of An
dree and his balloon, Nansen knows
nothing. The chances are that of An
dree nor of his companions, nor of his
balloon. nor of any of all the traps he
took along, will there ever a trace or
