THE VALUE OF c6RNsrALKs.

Baltim ne sun.
Our farmers have reason to regard
with aversion our numerous tariff.
protected trusts, but the farmers on
the prairie lands of the west at least
will probably view with favor the M
~ mlliou-dollar cornstalk trust
which is being organized, it is stated,
TO make market for the $500 coo, 000
tons Of cornstalks that 80 to waste
every year. The cornstalk is to be de-
yeloped by the new trust into com.
mercial commodity, as cotton seed
were "A few years ago, aud IT is beiev.
ed that there are millions in it," Ac-
cording to theNew York Commercial,
our farmers have hitherto been throw
ing away 5000, 900 600 year in corn
stalks. The yield Of stalks averages
three tons to the acre, the screage av-
eraging $4,000, 900, and but fraction
Of this is utilized as fodder During
the last twenty years our farmers
have destroyed, it is estimated by the
Commercial, $4,000, 100000 worth OF
their product-a value equal to the
sum total OF their mortgages plus the
public debt This snm The new trust
proposes TO enable the farmer to put
in their pockets the next score OF
years Six different commodities are
now being manufactured from corn
stalks, namely, ccllulose, worth S400
a ton, used by the government as an
automatic hole-st0pper for battle
ships, excellent cardboard fine
grade of paper, an unequaled founda-
tion for dynamite, a patent cattle
f0oc, aud a superior glue. The value
Of cellulose lining for warships is well
known. When leak develops the
cellulose swellS in such manner as
to automatically close it. With A.
teen tons of stalks, worth 500, one ton
OF such celluose is made, for which.
as already stated, the government is
now paying at the rate $400 ton.
Two factOrles-one in Rockport.
ILL.,, another in OwensbOro. Ky.-are
now making cornstalk celluiose, to-
getheI, with other products Of less
value, As respects the c0rnstalk cat
tie food, it is stated that the stalks
when ground to coarse meal, cooked
sweetcned with moasses, and pressed
into cakes form one Of the most nu
tritive and valuable foods yet placed
on the market. The absorptive pow
or of ceIulose dust fits it admirably
for the manufacture of dynamite by
mixing with nitroglycerin. such dust
being superior even to gun cotton.
Five factories, says the Commercial,
arctic be at once erected, in addition
to those already in operation. The
more the better. 1t is the good for
tune Of the proposed combine that it
will, if successful, have for its object
to enlarge, or, in fact create, an in
dustry, not to trif1e with it.

HON. JOHN NJ. ALLEN.

Vcksburg Post,
The manly and courageus stand
taken by Hon. Joha Allen in the Sen
atorial contest against Governor Me-
Laurin entitles-iiim to the respect and
admiration Of every man in the State
who desires to see higher standard
Of official life, purer state of politi-
Cal morals, and Il restotatiOn of good
government in Mississippi.
He has, with fairness and candor
and courage. exposed the indefensible
and Objectionable features Of Gov
McLaurin's administration of the af-
fairs Of the State. No intelligent
person in the State should now be in
ignorance as to the kind of admins
tration we have had in Mississippi for
the past three and half years.
Mr.. Aliens speeches contain a his
tory of the mistakes, blunders and H.
legal acts of Governor NcLaurin, told
in simple, plain, direct language, and
in terms that cannot be misunder-
stood; and these speeches have been
published by the press all over the
State.
If Governor McLaurin is elected to
the United State Senate in the face of
all t1ese damaging and unanswerable
charges, it will not be because they
ure not known to be true, but because
the public sentiment of the State has
no higher standard or idea Of official
and public life than Gov. McLaurin's
own conception of the manner in
which the affairs Of the State should
be administered. 1t will he for the
reason that the people do not object
to his methods or find them indefen.
sible, and desire nothing any higher
or better in the public affairs Of the
State.
An opposition party..led by men OF
.Tespectability and strong enough to
be formidable, would soon bring a
better set OF leaders TO the front in
the Democratic party.
In the present political situation,
the best men in the Democratic party
should stand by and sustain Mr.. Al
len in the patriotic and courageous
fight that he is making for good gov
ernment and the restoration of a
purcr and higher standard of official
Me in the State.
