CORN IN HISTORY.

The interest which the United States
is taking in making an interesting corn
exhibit in the Paris exposition of 1900
is chiefly economic, of course. Corn
is the most valuable of all the products
Of the United States. It represents
more money than any other one article
produced in this country Moreover,
it's lead is frightening instead of short
ening. Corn crops which pass the
2,000,000,000 bushel mark have grown
common in recent years. They will
undoubtedly occur still oftener ia the
near future. 1t is to the interest of the
country to popularize this article Of
food in the rest of the world to the
greatest possible extent.
But corn at one time may be said to
have figured in the political history of
the United States just as prominently
as it now does in the country's eco
nOmic development The earlier white
men on this continent record their
surprise at the extent to which the IN
dams used this cereal as an article of
food. The length of time which the
red men could conduct campaigns
through the forests on a small supply
of dried corn, which they would some
times pound into a meal with stones
and eat raw, and at other times bake
into sort Of bread, or roast it on the
ear, was revelation to the Spaniards,
French and English visitors to the
present territory of the United States
two or three centuries ago. The new
corners, however, quickly adopted the
uses of the aborigines in this particu-
lar, and corn was thus made to figure
with good deal of conspicuousness in
American history.
One Of the reasons why the French
of Canada could never hope to main
tain themselves in the contest for SUI
premacy with the English and the res
idents of the thirteen colonies was that
corn could be grown north of the lakes
and the st. Lawrence in limited guam
titles only This valuable American
product, which the Indians with their
stone implements could plant between
Lu0 SLCIup6 VI LuGlI IuuG CICdI IuES VI
on the prairies, could be utilized to an
important extent by those Indians only
who resided in what is now the United
States. The more northern tribes
could grow it only in trifling quanti-
ties, and their French allies were thus
deprived Of valuable aid in the main
tenance of their power.
Corn was one of the factors which
gave the victory to the English and
the Americans in the war which ex-
PEELED the French from North Amer
lea in 1868 1t thus reserved the
better part Of the continent to the
younger and more progressive branch
of the Anglo-Saxon race, who appro-
priated it a dozen years after the
French were driven out There is an
additional reason why Americans
should take an interest in the expan-
sion of the market for corn, and hap
PLY they are introducing it to a larger
and larger portion of the world. The
exports in 1899, 186,OOO,000 bushels,
have been four times as great as they
were five years ago.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICAN MINES.

Black labour is to be had in any
quantity, under proper conditions, and
the best of it is excellent in quality.
The trouble is that conditions have
been so bad that none but the lowest
element of the blacks would submit to
working in the TransVaal, and even
these hardly at ali except under pres
sure of absolute necessity. Abuse,
extortion. enforced labour on the
farms without pay, trickery, robbery
Of their accumulated earnings by beers
these have not attracted the negro to
the South African Republic No doubt
the regulation of political conditions
as between the two races is a difficult
one, but the boer Of the Transvaal has
not even approached it. Oppression Of
the blacks has ruined the labor sup
ply of the Witwaterstrand, and not the
least benefit Of good, honest, and
just government will be the ameliora-
ton of conditions in this respect. A
hut tax" by which the negro is made
to supply some share in the support Of
the government, and in return for
which he receives protection of law,
seems to be one of the most successful
methods of raising the standing and
the responsibility Of the na-
tive-Charles B. Going, interviewing
John Hays Hammond, in The Rn-
cheering Magazine.

CANAL A SUMMER WATERWAY.

Now that the Chicago new canal is
open and the waters of Lake Michigan
are slowly flowing TO the gulf it may
not be idle to speculate as to some
of the many uses to which it may and
will be put 1t does not require the
eye Of a prophet to foresee that the
new waterway will add another to the
advantages which Chicago possesses
as a summer resort. Within a year, it
may safely be predicted, the canal
will be covered with pleasure craft,
and a trip down to Joliet or even
further will be one of the faVorite ex-
cursions of the summer season.
What the Thames is to London the
canal will in the course Of time be to
Chicago One may even imagine, in
the years to come, fleet OF house
boats resting on it's placid surface,
making a scene which will be gay with
laughter and music and brilliant with
colored lights hanging from the avn
ings, Along the banks OF the Des-
plains and the Illinois will spring up
summer cottages, while a swift little
steamboat will bring the men to the
city in the morning and carry them
back to their homes along the rivers
when twilight falls. The opening of
the Chicagoans a district of surpass-
ing natural beauty and one exceed
ingly rich in historic interest. Gid
