Millions In Corn Stalks,

A valuable usa of what is now almost
a waste product has been suggested by
Prof, IL W Wiley, of the Department,
of Agriculture, lie believes that the
stalks of sweet corn might DO made to
yield sugar Of the hest quality. They
contain much moro sugar than those Of
the common Geld corn, aud the sugar
contents are at its maximum at the time
when the ears are pulled, Sugar, Of
course, is readily converted into alcohol
and inasmach as each 100 pounds Of
stalks will yield six aud half pounds
OF absolute alcohol, it is easily seen
what good thing the ignorant agricul-
tnrist has been allowing to go to waste,
Say that one acre will yield from 10 to
IL tons OF grain stalks. or about 20, 900
pounds, aud you have a quantity of
raw material which will produce 300
pounds Of alcohol, or 2l6 gallons Al
cohol at the present time is worth 40
cents gallon, Ground in wet con-
dition aud dried, corn stalks may be
kept indefinitely, and are ready at any
time for conversion into alcohol. Prof.
Wiley says that the alcohol derivable
from the corn stalks that nov 90 to
waste in this country would not only
drive all the machinery Of our factories,
but would furnish the requisite power
for all our railroads and steamboats,, run
all OF our automobiles, heat and illum-
mate all our houses, and light the streets
in every city in the Union,

tion OF the country such that, where a
prelude 50 unpromising woul in ordin-
airy times insure disaster, with hard
times upon US and republican dissension
before us, II looks like a winner, and, as
1 said in the outset, its strongest argu-
ment will be the claim that Mr.. Bryan
for all his vagaries can 90 no harm,
while a continuation OF Rooseveltism to
many great interests and masses Of men
spells revolution, IL not ruin.
Colonel Watterson is in position to
~sympathize with Governor Haskell, in
that he has been caught with the
goods. He Is on record as insisting
that the strongest argument for
Bryan's election is that Bryan, opposed
by a republican senate. could do no
harm. Then, to add to the complica-
ton, Colonel watterson insists that a
continuation of the Roosevelt policies
would spell revolution or ruin to many
interests, while Mr.. Bryan has been
pleading and insisting that he is the
sole heir to the Roosevelt policies.
Colonel Watterson has been as unfor-
tunate as Mr.. Archbold in failing to
burn his letters.

ENFORCING 4 ROOSEVELT POLICY.
The decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals in the suit of
the Southern Pacific against the In
terstate Commerce commission IL a
long step in the direction of making
effective some of the measures passed
by the republican congress, under the
recommendation and approval of
President Roosevelt, for the purpose
of regulating the railroads of the coun-
try and compelling their respect of the
rights of shippers in the matter of
freight rates.
The full extent and significance of
the decision will not be known until
the complete report of the opinion of
the court shall have been published,
but it is known the decision ~disposes
of a principle which has been in dis
pute since the passage of the Hepburn
rate law, the right of the Interstate
Commerce commission to fix rates. The
Southern Pacific made a test of the law
by appealing from a decision of the
commission. The railroad argued that
the making of a rate involved a COM
bination of legislative and judicial
functions that congress could not dele
gate to any official body.
The entire merit of the Hepburn
law hinged on the point raised. Had
the courts held hat the Interstate
Commerce commission had nj author
ity to fix rates, that body would have
promptly relapsed into the state of
suspended animation in which 1t ex-
listed for some years, prior to the en-
actment of the Hepburn law. Up to
that time the Interstate Commerce
commission was vested with power to
make inquiries and Investigations and
to make orders, but it was without
power to give its orders the force of
law. The Hepburn bill remedied that
defect and the railroads promptly
sought to have the grant of enlarged
power set aside. The court d~ecisively
~repudiates this contention of the rail-
roads. The points of the decision
made public in the press dispatches
indicate that the court holds that the
Interstate Commerce commission has
full authority to fix a rate and that
the courts will not interfere unless the
railroads can show that the rate so
fixed by the commission is confisca-
tory.
The decision is peculiarly significant
In that it makes effective answer to
Mr.. Bryan's expressed conviction that
any attempt to regulate railroads must
end in failure, and that the only rem
edy for railway abuses lies in govern
ment ownership.

Mr.. Bryan told the locomotive engineers
recently that he has been Interested in
having conditions such that men who hold
the lives Of the travelling public in their
hands should not be compelled to work
overtime, for "it they do we are in danger
as well as they"
The interest which Mr.. Bryan takes in
the subject of overworked railroad en-
ployes has been of the contemplative
rather than the active kind. 1t is not Of
record that he has ever contributed by his
exertions 10 shortening the long hours Of
trainmen and other employees. Much has
been done in that direction, but Mr.. Bryan
refrained from giving credit TO those who
die the work with no encouragement from
him. Republican congresses have passed
and a republican president has signed laws
TO end the abuse of overworking railroad
employees who are engaged in interstate
m That has been Of much greater
service than Mr.. Bryan's compliments and
assurances of affection on the eve Of an
election. ~

doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Bryanis loving

urged them to vote for free silver in 1896
and cut the purchasing power of their
wages In two. They have not forgotten
that two years ago he declared himself a
believer in the government ownership of
railroads., something they emphatically do
not want. They do not consider him a safe
