SYRUP FROM KAFFlR CORN.

An article emenating from Co
manche, Texas, tells of a farmer
in that county who finds kat1ir
corn a good producer of syrup.
He believes that with more care
in its preparation it can be made
to equal the famous ribbon
cane This view is almost too
optimistic, yet there are many
undiscovered sources Of wealth
in Texas productions, and it
may be possible that a good com
mercial syrup can be manu-
featured from the kaffir corn
salk. If this proves true the
Panhandle of Texas will contri-
butte many trainloads of the
sweetness and reap harvest of
dollars, as kaffir corn grows
more luxuriantly in this region
than elsewhere on the globe.
The making Of syrup from
kafiir did not originate with the

have been made in the Panhandle

The article from Comanche
says: James B. Napers of this
county has made an innovation
in the use which he gets out of
kaffir corn. Out of the stock he
has made some seventy-five gal
Ions of syrup, which is much
better than sorghum, and which
compares favorable with the
best ribbon cane syrup.
Mr.. Napers believes that
with more care in it's prepare
ton it can be made to equal the
famous ribbon cane. And katfir
corn can be grown so much
more cheaply than ribbon cane,
this industry, if developed,
might revolutionize the making
of syrup.

When it comes to syrup this
country can raise as much and

make syrup from kaffir corn

natured alcohol can be made
from these stalks than from any
thing else. BY the way, this
Panhandle country can raise
more different kinds of stuff

To Restore Prosperity.

4 writer in the Philadelphia Record
tells how the election of Mr.. Bryan
will bring about prosperity:
l can inform him, from calculations
based on facts and figures, that stocks
of merchandise in stores are getting
small, and manufacturers warehouses
are almost empty; that number of
improvements have been held back
for several years owing to the high
cost of materials, and that vast
horde of aliens who did not spend the
money they earned here, but boarded
it, have returned to the countries from
whence they came. Now, if Mr.. Bryan
and a Democratic House are elected
and if Mr.. Bryan calls special ses-
sion of Congress as soon as he is in
augurated, thus quickly forcing tar
iff revision bill through, and also ap-
points as Commissioner General of
immigration an honest, sincere man,
with instructions to rigidly enforce
the law, the result will be that with
lower prices these improvements will
be made. This will place sufficient
money in the hands of workmen to
buy out the depleted stocks of the
stores. The manufacturers will be
forced to start up their works to sup
/ ply the stores, and so on along the
whole line.".

Democratic Candidate Says He Will

Cumberland Md, Oct. 19.-David ].
Lewis, Democratic nominee for Cong
ress in the Sixth Maryland district, is
sued a statement today in which he
claims his election over Congressman
Pearre by 900.
He comedies Garrett county to
Pearre by 500 and Frederick county
by 300. He claims Allegany county
by 500, Montgomery county by 1000
and Washington county by 200. He
says that 300 lumbermen, mostly Re-
publicans, have migrated from Garrett
county.
In Montgomery he says, the Demo
Gratis gained 1875 on registration. He
says the normal Republican majority
in Frederick Presidential years does
not exceed 600, and at the least Pearre
will be out $50 there. He adds: "In
Allegany political conditions cannot
be described as less than revolution
ary, and the county may go against
the candidacy of Pearre as strongly
as Montgomery"

TAFT AND LABOR.
How Miners Were Sent to Jail Without
Trial.

ITlals
Judge Taft devoted most of his
speech in Baltimore Monday night
to a defense of his attitude toward
labor but he was careful not to speak
of his treatment of workingmen at
Wheeling Creek, Ohio, fourteen years
ago.
He was not campaigning for the
presidency when he sentenced four
Wheeling Creek miners to six months
in Jail. He was not telling laboring
men then that they should receive
fair treatment, but without granting
hearing sentenced the quartet on
the affidavit of United States mar
shall, who secured his evidence fol
arrest on evidence he picked up and
of which he had no personal knoWl-
edge.
In 1894, when the Ohio miners were
out on a strike and were enJolneo
from interfering with interstate traffic
four men were arrested at Wheeling
Creek, charged with violating the lat
ter order.
Two of the persons arrested were
Charles and Henry Heldt, the former
being a man about 20 years OF age
and the other two foreigners. These
men were placed in Jail, later to be
arraigned before Judge Taft, of the
United States court.
The poor miners of Wheeling Greek
and district raised SIS by hard WORK
and employed the late Lorenzo Dan
ford as their attorney and the day
Danford was retained he was noml-
mated for Congress by the Republicans
Of the Sixteenth Ohio district. with
such an able attorney, the miners be-
lieved they had a fair chance before
a judge of the United States court.
When the trial of the miners was
set for a hearing at Columbus, Attor-
ney Danford, with witnesses, appear
ed before Judge Taft, but when cCun-
sfl &C. tie F~ffnse eTcse u SO {
case Judge Taft refused to allow MIN
to offer any testimony on behalt OF
the four miners.
Judge Taft had the affidavit of the
United States marshal read, and then
sentenced the men to serve six months
in Jail. Mrs. Heldt, mother OF tne
two Heldt boys, pleaded with MIN aho
had Captain Denford intercede, tna'
her boys be permitted to serve the
six months in the Belmont county Jall
at st. Clairsville, instead of at Column
bus. Finally Judge Taft aeceded te
the pleadings of the distressed mother
This is the story of Judge Ta1t
fair decisions to labor, and 1t was
given to a correspondent by one OF
the men who was taken to Columbus
the day of the hearing as a witness
for the four men. Charles Heldt, obs

SPECIAL INTERESTS VERSUS
EQUAL RIGHTS.


In every utterance and every
statement made so far Mr.. Taft
has shown great concern for the
welfare Of the TRUSTS and SPE-
clAL INTERESTS.
He is afraid that the guaranty
of bank deposits will be a burden
on a few big bankers. That thou
sands of small depositors may lose
everything does not worry him.
He is afraid that a reduction of
the tariff may hurt protected in
/ dustries. He does not worry for
the consumer, who bears the bur-
den of the heavy tax.
He is afraid to oppose the
TRUSTS, for he considers them
a benefit. He does not mind the
I extortion they practice upon the
public.
He is opposed to jury trial in
contempt and Injunction cases be-
4 cause the SPECIAL INTERESTS
want the unfair injunction process I
continued. The "Father of the
. Injunction" docs not worry be-
cause the iaborer may not get a
4 square deal.
The Republican candidate be.
klieves in an income tax only when
the present oppressive means Of I
taxation fail 10 furnish enough
revenue. In other words, he be-
] tieves that the wealthy should not
be taxed until the resources of the {
4 masses are exhausted. Not word I

bear an unjust share Of the burden {
