Senator Plat has come out in favor oil

who are awaiting the decision of the

The matter is awaiting an opinion
of Mr.. O'Conneil. Solicitor OF the Treas

final say. until after this opinion has
been rendered
The Treasury Department informed SEN
ator Plat by wire that Attorney G.. NJ.
Curtis, who represents Fitzharris and Null

the Department, and that so far as an
appeal in their case is concerned, the case
has been fully gone over by the friends of

So far as Fitzharris. otherwise known

of the case and afterward submitted a
brief which covered every point. legally.

TAKES AMERICAN CORN.
Europe Buys This Cereal from Us on
a LARA Scala

Europe Buys This Cereal from Us one
Large Scale.
1t looks as though the fight that has,
been going on for years to get Eu-
ropeans to buy American corn has been
won at last, for the exports of this
cereal are W on such large scale
that Z Is reasonable to assume that il
has got firm foothold abroad. For
the past ten years the various secre.
taries of agriculture have endeayored
to show TO foreigners the value of our
corn ard all sorts of schemes were
adopted to Introduce it in Europe.
During the famous famines in Ireland
a number of ship loads of corn were
sent To the sufferers, but they had
such poor opinion of it that they re-
fused to receive It. The fight was kept
up. however, with gratifying results,
the exports last year amounting to-
more than 200.00O,00O bushels. The
demand for this cereal is widely dis
tributed and extends to the northern
half of South America, the British pos
sessions in North America, and even to
Africa and Australia. AS regards dis
tribution. however. the most signif-
ieant fact is that from eight to nine
tenths of the total exports are usual
ly consigned to the various countries
of Europe, pre-eminent among these
takers being Great Britain. Germany,
France. Belgium. Denmark and Hell
land. In these countries, 1t is inter-
esting to note, the use OF corn is most
ly confined, as is the case in the United
States, to the feeding OF live stock.
though it is also employed to limited
extent in brewing. dlstilling and other
Industries and in the manufacture OF
proprietary foods ind confectionery.

A BUSINESS MEETING

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men "a majority Of the Board at least
got down TO business at their last
meeting. and started on their way two
railroad ordinances of general in
terest, and took another step towards
obtaining better lights for the peo-
pie OF Columbia. The Board seems
determined now to handle these
questions; and we cOngratul ,te
them and the people that they are
so. We hope their zeal will not
flag, but that they will prosecute 10
the end the work they have 80 we'll
begun.
In discussing these public ques.
tions il the HERALD seems extreme
or too PLAIN spoken at times, we
hope it will be attributed to our
earnestness, and not to any pur pose
to unduly criticize or offend. Some
Of our best friends are members of
the Board, and II we have any
enemies there at all, the enmity is
all on their side.
And while we have no overween-
Ing love for railroad corporations,
neither have we any prejudice
against them. All that we ask is
that they shall treat the people
right.
AS for the light question, we be-
lisva that the superintendent and
Manager are doing The very best
they can, with on inefficient and
badly worn plant We do no. b
lieve any twn theh Ia ia%n would
try any harder or do any better
than they are doing. Tn our
Judgment higher power than they
are to blame; and we think that that
higher power, towit Mr.. Bigelow of
New York, Ia verv foolish IL he does
not proceed speedily to set his house
in order. For II we mistake not the
temper of this Board they are going
TO have a better light service for
their constituents, or none at all,
and that very soon.
And they ought to. Mr.. Payne in
particular, seems to be in dead
earnest on this subject, and we COM
mend him for his zeal. The Light
Company is granted franchise, and
a valuable franchise, upon the
promise, specific and implied, that
they will furnish both for the streets
and Tor private use, steady and re-
liable light. They have so long
failed to do that, that the Board
should not waste much more time
inqniring why. They should simply
stop paying them for their halfway
lights, and give the franchise to q
company that will put in first-class
plant and give first-class service.
