AMERICAN CORN ARKoaD,

| The last famine in Russia was re-
/ garded as favorable opportunity for
| the introduction of American, or In
dian, corn as foodstuff in the Europe
an markets. Apparently the expert
| ment met with little or no success.
| Corn meal and the various other forms
of this cheap but most palatable and
nutritious cereal were shipped in large
quantities to Russia together with full
directions in the Russian tongue for
its preparation, while people skilled in
cooking the corn products were sent
along to practically demonstrate it's
use. But no Roadway seemed to be
made and the experiment was pro-
nounced a failure, the Russian people
given to them as charity, simply be-
cause it was something new-which is
evidence of the tenacity with which
certain nationalities cling to familiar
customs.
But that the effort to introduce In
dian corn in Europe was not really
failure is proven by the figures of ex-
ports of corn from the United States
to Europe since then. In 1896 the
value of corn exported was 100000, 900;
in 1897 it reached $17S,O00,O0O, and in
1898 S212,000,00
The good work of introducing Indian
corn abroad has but begun. When
once given a foothold its desirability
and cheapness will do the rest, for it is
unquestionably the most healthful, the
cheapest and most nutritious cereal
that grows, while there is nothing more
palatable, properly prepared, and moth
ing easier cooked. In this connection
| it is interesting to know that our corn
products will be fully exploited at the
Paris Exposition The st. Louis Globe
Democrat says:
''It is proposed to make this one of the
most interesting of all the American dis
plays at that fair. The object, of course,
is to popularize this great American pro-
duct throughout the world. Thus far the
| outside world has been shy of Indian corn.
1t has more nutriment than rye or barley,
which are much more widely used in
Europe than corn. This propaganda has
| a great interest for Americans. Practically
all of the product which is raised in the
world is raised on this side of the Atlantic.
| 1t is the most valuable of all the crops
| grown in the United States.'
There is no reason why this great
food product should not be used the
world over, especially by the poor. The
crops are so great in this country that
corn is sometimes used by the farmers
of the West as fuel because it is cheap
err than coal or wood. 1t is raised in
the great States of the West by the
million acres, and we can supply all
| the world with it.
1t will not be long until the masses
of the people abroad are educated to
its use and by that time Yankee in
genuity will have discovered also a
means of utilizing commercially the
stalks, pith, oil, ETC., to which end eX-
periments are being constantly made.

The only act of wisdom in connec-

placing of General Miles in command

Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, July 31.-W. w.
Brannon, attorney for various lot own
ers, had twelve injunctions served on
the town this afternoon in the cases of
Miss Ella Clifton, Mrs. Mary A. Cliff
ton, JOS Clifton. A. A. Warren. James
Ralston, j. B. Finster, ]. A. Minnich,
Chas. O'Hara, the Geo. Ross heirs, and
Stokes Tunstill in Judge Benefits

in Judge Jackson's q. S. court.
In addition to these suits Judge w.
G. Bennett and Mrs. Flora McClelland
have similar suits pending in Judge
Benefits court. and w w. Brannon
making sixteen suits against the town
besides the three between Err. Ralston
and the town. Much feeling and con-
siderable bad blood has been aroused
in this unfortunate controversy. The
destruction of Mr. Ralston's stable and
fencing in May last by the council is
chiefly the cause of the bitterness in the
dispute The various suits grown out
of, an effort upon the part of the au-
thorities to enforce the decision of the
Supreme Court of this State made in
the Ralston case last April by which
that court reversed five of it's former
decisions on the same subject. The
property owners are insisting that the
recent survey which found most of the
lots to encroach is not correct; that
the old houses and enclosures are the
best evidence of the true location, and
that the execution of the decision will
deprive the owners of their property
without due process of law, and de-
mand the equal protection of the law.
The time within which lot owners were
required to remove their buildings and
fencings expired to-day, hence the in
functions. Many people will suffer
their buildings and fencings to be re-
moved and sue for damages. 1t is. in
deed, most unfortunate affair and
will be most costly controversy.

PRINCIPLE. NOT POLICY.
"To0-qua-stee" Would Prefer no
Bread to Half a Loaf.

the Sentinel. That is just what
all good editors should do--advo-
cate principles, but the truth of
the matter IL, friend Parks does
not do any such thing; he never
has attemp it. The National
party have been long bantering
and badgerng the stalwart. highly
cultured, wide awake, progressive
Downing leaders to start out on a
Line OF principle; but on that kind
OF argument they are all as whist
as race of blind mice, as dumb
as generation of dead men. The
fact is, they are mortally afraid OF
principle. They krow that prin-
ciple will condemn them every
time. Hence the only thing they
have ever done. has been simply
to appeal to prejudice by ringing
changes like there: "We are for
progress" "We are for progress
ives" "We are no fogies, like
the iullblood-. ." I'VE are in
favor Of a treaty" "We must have
treaty, because treaty is better
than the Curtis law" "By the
jingoes. something has got to be
done; il we don't do it, Congress
will do it for us; half loaf is bet
ter than no loaf "Hurrah for
the progrts,ives." "Go in boys,
catch while and what you can, Tor
the time is near at hand when you
can't"
This is the style of the Sentinel's
argument, indeed that of the whole
Downing party.
Compare this method OF reason
with that of the .ullblood, and it
will be easily seen who are the
advocates OF principles" and who
are not.
When an individual. or a nation
promises to do an act, or to abstain
from the doing Of it. and has re-
ceived and enjoyed the considera-
tion of the contract, it is a prin-
ciple, yes, an eternal principle,
that such person, or nation, should
do, or abstain from doing, the act
in question. In the treaty of 1885,
the United States agreed for valu-
able considerations, to let the
Cherokees enjoy the privilege of
self-government. Wolf Coon main
tains that the United States should
live up to that agreement. His
contention is based upon an eter-
nal principle. But what does the
Sentinel say about it; why, it de-
nounces the Coon as a fool, and
unfit to be chief Of the Cherokees,
because, forsooth, he is disposed
to stand by principle.
Again, the United States prom
ised, (again for valuable considera-
ton in the so-called Strip agree
ment. to remove the intruders out
of the country and for the future
to protect the Cherokees in the
little patch Of land that was left
to them after ceding the Outlet.
Now principle says, (else the
WORD of God is talse,) the United
States ought to do just as it prom
ised to do in the premises, and
this is what Wolf Coon says in bis
platform; Wolf Coon. eternal prin-
ciple, and God Almighty, are in
accord here, against the Sentinel
and that nonparell party Of which
it is the plant tool.
Ii is much to be doubted if the
Sentinel knows the difference be-
tween a principle and q policy

few fluffy little propositions sil
pervaded and animated by a de-
graded spirit Of sordid selfshness;
it is merely the formulation OF q
policy, and very mean policy at
that. 1t says the Downing party
is in favor of an equal divide OF
our national estate; and, in the
next breath, it says il heartily en-
dorses the Muskogee agreement.
But it is we'll understood that that
monster birth of a narrow minded,
self-seekiDg negotiation provides
in plain terms that all those fel-
lows who have been specializing
in the common property of the
people for the last twenty years,
shall be allowed first to get away
with the vast pile OF their ill-got-
ten gains in the form of town lots,
before any division at all is to be
made; and this is what the Down
ing platform calls "a fair and
equitable diyision;" it is what
the Sentinel calls principle" !"
