Three more days In which to register
Expansion Sentiment Growing.
Tacoma Ledger

Tacoma Ledger
Senator Stanton Warburton returned
yesterday from Washington. after having
spent most of the time there since last
October During the course of his stay
in Washington Mr.. warburton has mixed
with all classes of people. and has thus
been able to gather a fair estimate OF
public men and public affairs.
Mr.. Warburton says opinion In the East
is that IL In a foregone conclusion that
Mckinley will be nominated by aeclama-
ton at the Philadelphia convention. and
II is equally certain that he will be elect
ed to succeed himself. Bryan win also
be nominated. and II Is sure thing that
he will be defeated at the polls.
The general feeling in all parts of the
country Is for expansion" said Mr.. War
burton. "A change of sentiment on this
question has taken place In the East. This
is especially true in New York, which at
first was solid the other way and Is now
out and out for expansion. There ia a
growing belief that Cuba VIII seek admis-
sion. The Spaniards in Cuba and the bet
ter class OF her citizens nearly ali seem
70 favor annexation"

Wheat or Corn.

There is serious movement on foot
to endeavor to create an enlarged mar
ket In Europe for American corn, and
the Paris exposition is to be taken full
advantage Of for the purpose OF ex-
plotting this great American food
product. to which the natives OF North
ern Europe have never taken kindly.
The finest cooks are to be engaged
and every form OF preparation OF corn
products. from hominy to hoe cake, is
to be shown to visitors. who are to be
given full opportunity to see what can
be done with this grain.
On the surface this looks as though
II would be very desirable thing; an
enlarged European market for this
great foodstuff would necessarily mean
a bigger price to the American farmer
In the corn belt, an increase in the ex-
ports of the country. to the consequent
enlargement Of the debt of Europe to
this country. and another factor in
keeping the balance of trade perma-
nently on the side of the United states
1t would seem. however. that in this
attempt to exploit In Europe the adj
vsntages of the American cereal, there
Is one very important side OF the prop
osition which Is being overlooked, or
which Is deliberately disregarded. by
those having the matter In charge. The
actual consumption of food stuffs. per
capita of population, is nearly an abso-
lutely fixed quantity. At least II va
ries almost imperceptibly from year TO
year In each Of the countries OF Europe.
Thus every bushel of corn which is sold
to Europe necessarily replaces sub
stantiaily the same weight OF other
breadsturs in the European market
SO long as the Increased demand for
corn would come solely from among the
users Of rye bread. for example, the
United States would be the gamer. but
n corn ever seriously entered into com
petition with wheat among the bread
consumers or Europe. the loss 10 this
country would be infinitely greater than
the gain.
Even with the present low price OF
wheat its average price In the export
markets Is double that OF corn; every
hushei OF corn which replaces a bushel
Of American wheat In the foreign mar
ket would. therefore. mean a net loss
To the producer. and a loss In the value

bic product In a foreign market with

proportion os which loss would fan en-

greater than the gain. and the coun-
try. as a whole. would suffer by the
exchange

version to the old notion that machinery
can succeed where men fail. The rage
that once possessed well-meaning peo-
pie to put prohibition Of the liquor traffic
into state constitutions has passed
away. We know that IL is futile. and
we see that 'intemperance must be dealt
with In other ways. Yet there remains
a vast body of unenlightened intelli-
sence which still insists that the print
ing of certain words on paper is the
bulwark of society and the accepted en-
CINE of moral reform.
No doubt polygamy is serious affair.
We do not believe that it is growing.
On the contrary, we are well assured
that it is on the wane. The exclusion
of Roberts, or rather the tremendous
demonstration OF public opinion which
caused his exclusion win discourage il
everywhere. 1t is always illegal and
can be punished as crime. II, with this
then modern society is in a perilous
way. The supposition is an absurd one;
but at any rate the fact is clear that
the law has gone as far as 1t can go. A
constitutional amendment dealing with
the evil would be positive misfortune:
since It cannot be more effective practi-
cally than the regulations now in force.
while IL polygamy still continued II
would stand as one Of those dead letters
of which we have already too many.
1t is before American virtue. American
morality and American public opinion,
founded on the sacredness OF the home
and the honor Of womanhood. that the
disgusting crime is bound to disappear.
That the world moves forward and up
ward no more rapidly than 1t does is
due in large measure to the misdirected
and wasted effort of these people who
are constantly confusing law and NOR
ality. and assuming that Thou shalt
not" is synonymous with II will not"

A DUEL IN GEORGIA.

ELBERTON, Ca, Nov. 3.-An alter
cation between James Z. Hammond
and T. j. Wall, brothers-in-law living
eight miles from here, resulted in a
duel between the men wherein Wall
was killed, the two wives being the
sole witnesses to the battle. Wall was
beating a negro for disobedience and
refused to hear his wife's plea in be-
half of the colored man. She then
went to Hammond, her brother, asking
his intercession.
Upon this Wall became incensed and
drawing a revolver, chased Hammond
from his presence, threatening to Kill
him. Hammond obtained a shotgun
The relatives met again in less than ar
hour each accompanied by his wife
A duel then ensued and Wall was in
stantly killed, while Hammond escaped
without injury. The women were tht
only witnesses.
