It is a rare treat to anyone interested in the Subject and should l>e taken advautajfe of. WHY not corn pell all anarchists to serve a few days feeding a corn shred­ der. It would not exterminate, but it would greatly cripple the society. THE weather man has passed two weeks of his life at least without being abused, and its dollars to doughnuts that he has heard no words of praise wafted up to him. CALEB POWERS, former secretary of state of Kentucky, has again been con­ victed of complicity in the assassina­ tion of William Goebel, and on the most ragged circumstantial evidence. MRS. ROOSEVELT, wife of the presi­ dent, says that she is perfectly satisfied with three new dresses a year. What a blessing those words will be to the society ladies who can afford no more than three. THE Buffalo exposition was called the Pan-American, but it did not pan out well financially. However it has shown to the people of tbe earth the stuff that Americans and especially the citizens of Buffalo are made of. THE action of the big packing firm of Swift & Company in posting notices forbidding profanity on the company's premises will receive the commendation of every person who has any conception of the elemental decencies of life. BECAUSE President Roosevelt enter­ tained Booker T. Washington at the White House, he is criticised by the people of the south. All honor to the chief executive who will reoognize a white heart under a black skin, and who seemingly has the power of observing black hearts under white skins made chief commander in the West In­ dies. They were aided in this campaign by the fact that Admiral Schley 'a per­ sonality is pleasing, while Admiral Sampson is not a politician; A newspaper campaign was organized and conducted with ever-inCreasing ani­ mosity. Some friends of etfcE" of "the Admirals proved extremely unfair in their utterances. Thus we had the Schley organs insinuating an<^ finally openly charging that Admiral Sampson deliberately crippled the American fleet and steamed away from the blockade on July 3 to avoid personal danger., We also had Sampson partisans accusing Admiral Schley of cowardice. Charges were made on both sides that, if true, ought to have sent both Schley and Saippson before a court-martial and caused them to be shot like Byng on their own quarter decks. Tint one scintilla of evidence justify­ ing such charges has been produced. They never had any foundation outside of the heated imaginations of rabid par­ tisans. But evidence has been produced casting grave doubts upon Admiral Schley's judgment in several respects.' In answer Admiral Schley has explained his acts and tried to convince the court that his judgement was correct The questions now to be decided are essen­ tia lly those upon which only naval ex­ perts can pass. In the court we have such experts. Their decision ought to be loyally accepted by the public. No good can result from continuing the controversy in Congress, and the public is weary of the unpleasing spec­ tacle. Let it come to an end with the verdict of the court. Let us have peace. CORN STALKS. While the agricultural department, nnder the leadership of Secretary Wil­ son, has had great suc«ess in introduc­ ing in Europe the use of corn and its products, thereby creating a demand for this greatest of food grains, the in­ ventive genius of Americans has dis­ covered new uses for corn stalks, and the time is at hand when they will be a source of considerable income to the termers. A bulletin of the agricultur­ al department Bhows the following pur­ poses for which they are used: "A packing for war ships, a high grade of writing paper, the basis for a smokeless powder and a cattle food made by grinding to a powder and mixing with cheap molasses. ' The new food is presssd into cakes wader a hydraulic press and can be shipped as easily as bricks or cordwood. For feeding it is broken up and mixed with water. Actual tests have been made and samples have been sent to agricultural stations in Europe. The reports from all sources are very en­ couraging. The food will be partic­ ularly valuable fur our cavalry in the tropics, and the food cakes can be made at a minimum cost in Cuba and the southern states, wl£ep» thousands of tons of low grade pcSlaeseB go to waste annually. that u:-' LET I'S UAVK FKACK, Washington dispatches indicate each party to the Sainpaefi^SchJey con­ troversy is discounting alrettay an un­ favorable verdict from the court of in­ quiry and so is beginning to agitate for a Congressional investigation. If Con­ gress is wise, however, it will refuse to touch the case at all, says the Inter Ocean. The investigation by the court has certainly been thorough. Witnesses have been brought from the ends of the earth. Of the court's entire fairness the public has no dOtibt. Its verdict should be accepted by Admiral Samp­ son's friends, by Admiral Schley's friends, by Congress, and by the public .«s absolutely final. No possible good . the navy or to the country can come J from carrying the dispute further. vy'jg; The broad facts of the case are that ^••'•^'^Mmiral Schley's conduct in the Sauti- 3^#go campaign before the battle of July was not satisfactory to his superiors * $!i the navy and the government. By ; V ,:jnany naval experts the Brooklyn's loop V i "tplso was deemed a serious error. But vV.vfjPn consideration of Admiral Schley's fecord and his gallantry in battle his ft Superiors were willing to pass over these things. » Some pinhead politicians, however, •aw, in the pecular circumstances of the battle off Santiago, an opportunity to embarrass the administration. They be gan a campaign whose object was not only to elevate Schley but to pull down whom the administration had A Typical South African 8tore. 1 O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the pro­ verbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the near­ est town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedy. All testify to their value in a househoW~wh^re tf'TSSfetor's advice is almost out -of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than four­ teen haye been absontely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley.
