Cnssava-HOw Ii Grows and What IL
Looks Like.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
This is becoming a staple crop I'm some
sections of the south, and also very
profitable one for farmers to grow
When the plant first comes up il resem-
bles what We. in the north, know as rag
Weed, but as 1t gets larger the top has
quite bushy spread. The top growth of
this wonderful plant is not what would
interest you most, but IL is the part that
grows In the ground-the roots-if such you
may call them. These grow in the ground
near the surface, and develop very similar
To the sweet potato, but are ever SO much
larger. From a single plant several of
these enormous tubers are thrown ont I'm
various directions from foot to thirty or
more Inches In length. and often the size
OF your arm below the shoulder, and each
weighing number of pounds So from
inns you can see an acre of cassava would
give You an enormous yield. As a food
Tor stock IL is very valuable and ,.Vpry-
thlng on the farm will eat II greedilv IL
is also used on the table as human food
baking or roasting being the favoritc wav
OF preparation. 1t is also being worked
up INTO starch tapioca and the like with
exceedingly large profits to the grower and
manufacturer
This plant grows and produces bnuntf-
fully In the southern states, but whether
II would do as well I'm the north | am un-
able to say; modest trial of II her.. with
our farmers would not be ont of place As
a root crop 1t is simply wonderful

Plans of the Democrats.

Though the democratic state central COM
mittee has not yet been called together, 1t
is known that the state convention of that
party will be held in Cleveland on July
24 and %. Col. James Kilbourne of this
city continues in the lead for the nomina-
ton for governor, in spite of the handi-
Gaping of John r. Mclean and other
democratic leaders. Kilbourne is very
popular with the rank and file of the party.
Agents of Mclean tried to induce A. w
Patrick of New Philadelphia to be a can
didate for this nomination this week, the
evident object being to divide with Col
kibourne the rural vote. But Judge Pat
rick refused to be brought into the race.
Mclean claims to be taking no interest in
the nomination for governor. but his friends
here all against Col. kilbourne
1t is understood that the democratic
state convention will not nominate a cam
didate for United States senator. But
John r. Mclean will be the senator in
case the democrats carry the legislature
No one has any doubt about that.

NASH TO LEAD THE TICKET
OHIO REPUBLICANS WILL ABIDE BY
PRECEDENT.
Governors Entitled to Two Terms
Democrats Will Probably Nomf-
nate kilbOurne.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 49, 1901
Though practically all the republican
leaders in Ohio recognize the danger of de-
feat that will be incurred by the nomina-
tion of Governor Nash for second term.
they. are agreed that the time is now too
short and the difficulties in the way of
making a change of candidates too great
to attempt it. Governor Nash himself
does not believe the situation to be dan
gerous one, and any attempt to use coer-
con would make the danger of defeat still
greater than it Is. So generally are the
party leaders opposed to anything of that
kind that there is talk now about the nomi-
nation of Judge Caldwell also for lieuten-
ant governor again.
1t had been looked upon as an almost
foregone conclusion that Judge Caldwell
would be retired because of the strong op-
position to him from the anti-saloonr re-
publicans. but in interview yesterday
Charles l.. kurtz. who is in charge of
Senator Foraker S interests in the election,
said he had not the slightest doubt about
the nomination of Governor Nash for
second term, and he felt sure that, after
all was said and done, the party would
conclude that the best thing to do would
be to nominate the old ticket, Caldwell in
cluded.
There will be opposition to Judge Cald-
well in the convention if he insists upon
nelnR a candlGate, ana from the present
point of view the opposition seems quite
overwhelming. There will be no opposition
to Governor Nash If his name goes to the
convention. That is to say if he does not
withdraw he will get the nomination with
out contest. His friends aluding to
the fact that there is no precedent in Ohio
politics for refusing to give a republican
governor nomination for second term.
Mr.. Dougherty's Views.
Harry NJ. Dougherty, who is the leader
of the ant-Hanna faction, is out in
chara cterStic interview in which he de-
cares that the proposition to retire Gov
ernor Nash with but single term is alb
sClutely without good reason. What has
Governor Nash DONE" he asks that he
stopped a prize fight? Are prize fight pro-
moters in control of the affairs of the re-
publican party of Ohio?"
The search for a candidate for lieutenant
governor still goes on. Some think that
John c.. Rorick of Wauseon is hardly
broad-gauged enough. The condition of
not at all improbable that the man elected
be called to the governors chair by the
death of the governor. Governor Nash
suffers with heart disease, and has had

Sultan Fond of American Corn Bread

Berlin Letter to Chicago Record Herald.
 Coming up from Bulgaria the other day I met on the train Gen Horace Porter. our Ambassador to France. and as us- ual he was full of good stories. so that the twenty-four hours between Sofia and Vienna seemed very short. The most in- teresting story he told was his eNperi- ence as a guest of the Sultan of Turkey at dinner. He sat near enough to ms host to notice that he ate very little or the dishes that were served to other peo- ple and devoted his attention chleny 10 a plate of brown-looking crust which was placed before him alcne. Gen. Porter supposed 1t was some fast day of the Mohammedan calendar or that some other religious scruple prevented the head of that church from partaking or the ex- duisite French deliHIrtes he had provided for his guests. and required him to par take of same sacred substance that had been made in mosque or monastery. So he asked the Grand Vizer, who sat beside him. what his imperial Majesty was eating. This potential dignitary smiled and said: I'm afraid you won't believe me if l tell you. It is ordinary cornbread, such as was cooked and served in the American kitchen at the Paris Exposition, He is very fond of it and eats 1t three times day. At some meals he eats little else"

smaller cost of Panama. 4OI

Smaller cost of Panama A 000, GOO Then the commission estimates that l the cost of maintaining the Panama Ca nal when finishel would he $1 $50, GOO less than the cost of maintaining the Mica | Uagla, to say nothing of the much great CT risks to navigation through the lat ter channel. The capitalized value of this

 These sena tors who believe it would he
 a colossal blunder to vote for Nicaragua
 instead of Panama constitute only a
 small minority It Is extremely doubtful
 if they can accomplish anything. It is
 not even certain that they will try. Public opinion is overwhelmingly for
 Nicaragua. The people regard the Pan
 anna project as a scandalous job. They
 think the United States cannot buy it
 without getting tar off the stick. They
 have been taught to believe that NiCa-
 ragua is the better route and few men
 have ever stopped to consider whether
 or not that is true. Probably there are
 not a score Of men in both branches of
 Congress together who have ever looked
 carefully into the merits of the two pro-
 jects They are too lazy. They are indif- ferent. All they care to know is that public opinion favors Nicaragua. hence they are all for Nicaragua. It is further known that this fear of public opinion had it's effect upon the members of the canal commission. They are afraid to recommend or even to go further than they did in favoring Panama, lest public
