Ref- mee is also wade to a report of the | consul at New Castle-upon-Tyne, who | stated that the entire consumption of | corn in that part of England was con- fined to horses and cattle. The consul at Bradford urged that the only way to build up a great trade for any food pro duet is to enter the field and work it. Certainly iter effort was never made to introduce a food product any where than has been made during the past seven or eight years to induce the | ceopt for people of England to corn hmman food. At-the Paris exposition of 1887 hundreds thousands of people were given an opportunity to test the | merits of this cerenl prepared in a g | variety of forms and made as palatable as the skill of experienced cooks could | render it Subsequently efforts -w made to introduce it to the tables of the people of England and Scotland, and still later @ most persistent effort was made to induce the German people to substitute corn bread for the black com- pound of wheat and rye which the masses of the common people of that | country eat. For a time there was prom lise of success, particularly in Germany, { where the goverument manifested | interest in the matter. The demand for n inereased and it was contidently [ believed that the Ameriean corn pro- ducers had found in Burope the demands of which would stes grow from year to year. But the | promise was not rvealized and last year onr exports of corn to Buropean markets fell to a relatively insignificant amount In & report from the American consul general at Frankfort-on-the-Main, re cently published in a bulletin of the Agricultural department showing the trade of the German empire, it is said: “Corn is largely used for feed and other purposes, but not yet to any great extent for human food. Notwithstand- ing all demonstrations to the cont corn is still helieved by many Germans 1o be unwholesome, and they prefer the wrse, black rye bread to the best that can be made from corn.” Other conti- nental peoples share this belief, while the people of Creat Britain, if not be- lieving corn to be unwholesome, regard it as proper food only for cattle In view of the deep-rooted prejudice against corn for human food which the people of Europe, even the’ poorest of them, unquestionably have, there manifestly little reason to hope for a satisfactory result from any effort, how- over zealonsly and persistently pros cuted, to introduce corn to the tables of Europeans as a regular food. The task of overcoming their prejudice and culti- vating a taste for corn seems 5o hope- less that no one acquainted with the conditions will advise renewing it. It may be pertivent to rewark that if Americans would eat more corn it would be unnece ry to scek a market for it in Europe, DIPLOMATIC RESERVE. The Sts rtment has been sub- jeeted to criticism for its apparcnt pro- crastination and want of zeal in the Waller case, whicl, by the way, is com- manding attention abroad as one of more than ordinary importance. It is shown, however, that the department has really been doing all t could fairly be expected of it in this matter and it is only just that it receive the edit that is due. The facts show that Bec has given this case rnest and careful attention and has with all proper persistence urged our ambassador to 1ce to press the sub ject upon the attention of the French government. There appears to be no renson to doubt, in view of the latest de- velopments, that the secretary of state fully recognizes the importance of the se and is in hearty sympathy with the public sentiment which demands that our government shall go to any ¢ tremity in order to secure justice for Waller. With this made clear no fah- minded man will refuse to accord to Sec ary Olney the commendation which his faithful performance of duty merits. It is suggested that the department would have escaped the criticism to which it has been subjected if it had taken the publie more into its contidence, which it could have done without any damage to the case. Certainly no harm could have come from letting the public know just what instructions had been | sent to Ambassador Bustis and thus acquainting it with the intentions of the government. But to have done this would have been contrary to the tradi- tional policy or practice of the depart- ment in such matters. It has been ve- marked that the trouble with the State department has been and is now that the reserve prop: thrown around.Jnat- ters which onght not to be made public is allowed to mantle other matters con cerning which the public have a right to know, and regarding which, if definfte information were given, uno damage could be done to the subjects under d cussion. Everybody understands that there ave diplomatic questions arising from time to time which it would be un- wise to make public, but as to many matte and the Waller case is one of these, no such reserve is required. Yet the rule of the department is made to | app’y to everything, and thus it is fre quently subjected to criticism, which, | when the facts are known, is shown to | bo unfounded and unjust, There are excellent reasons to be od in Dehalf of reform in this par |ticular. The exercise of proper care and diserimination in giving out information | relating to diplomatic affairs 1s, of nocessary, but the public is en- titled to know all that can safely be im parted respecting the policy and action of fhie government in all such matters.

The parties to the conference have agreed to disagree, and fhe enlargement of the water mains seems as far off as ever, If this contention involved simply a disputed elaim against the city it would matter comparatively little to the publie how long the final settlement was de- ferred. But there is something more important in this controversy than claims and counter-claims. The lives and property of our citizens arve con- stantly exposed to the danger of a de- structive conflagration by reason of in- lequate water suppl Unless the work of replacing the mains is begun within a few weeks we shall continu be subject to the same risk during the entire winter and far into the spr next year, Meantime over $100,000 is now lying idle in the treasur the credit of the water fund. Quite apart from the almost erimir negligence exhibited in this controversy the also the unnecessary loss of employment to workingmen who are. anxions to earn an honest livelihood. It strikes us that the time has come for plain talk. The mayor and council, as we understand it, are ready to vote as much of the unpaid hydrant rental s will be actually required to defl the expenses of the proposed improve ments. The only condition they insist on is that the water works compar through its receivers, shall stipulate in ing that the money will be expended according to the agreement and that work will be promptly begun and car- ried out strictly in conformity with the plans, This 1inly is not unreason able. A verbal agreewent or promise has no binding force. The receivers of today may not be the receivers thirty days hence. It is no insult to them to demand a written stipulation, It purcly Dbusiness and if the receive mean business they will forthwith com- ply with the request, That will be the best proof that they mean what thed 1o z of to is refuse to make such stipulation the city should proceed by the shortest cut to secure an v from the court for the enlargement of the works to pro- vide the protection which the city's con- tract calls for and to which the péople of Omaha are entitl o The action of the secre of agri- culture in closing the sugar experiment stations in Louisiana and selling their outfits is vigorously denounced by the i us newspapers, which of conrse reflect the sentiment of the sugar interest of the state. There is unque tionably some justification for this feel- ing. The stations were not costing the government any great sum, and th were serviceable to the sugar industry. Of course it is not probable, as Las been harged, that the secretary of agricul- ture is hostile to that industry, nor is it reasonable to assume that his action was prompted b, re to rebuke the planters for their conrse in relation to the bounty which is being withheld from them by the comptroller of the treasury because he thinks congress has not the constitutional authority to give bounties. The explanation is rather to be found in a narrow policy of economy for which the present secretary of agriculture has become somewhat noted. But whatever the motive the action of the department has inereased and intensified popular feeling in Louisiana against the admin- istration, and it is entirely safe to say there will be no Cleveland man in the delegation from that state to the next democratic national convention. A number of newspapers are engaged in an acrid diseussion of the question whether George Washington declined to stand for a third term in the interest of the public welfare or merely because e wanted to have the closing years of his life for a period of ease. This is a very interesting point and one upon which the writings of Washington and his contemporaries may perhaps throw considerable light. But it is not the all important point. The question is, Conld George Washington have been elected president for a third and fourth successive term if Lie had wanted to be eleeted? There is room for argument liere, and when that has been sottled it must still leave the question to be de- bated whether any other man than George Washington can have a valid claim upon a third term in the white house.

There are, no doubt, a great many Germansg who will eclebrate the coming twenty-fifth anniversary of Sedan day with a certain feeling of rankling animosity against their late foes.

Des Moines Capital: The democrats of Ne- braska agree with their brethren of Mis- souri, Illinois and Mississippl. They are for free coinage of silver. They do not, however, like thos> of the last named state, profess to admire the present president and his ad- ministration. Kansas City Star: The silver democrats of Nebraska complain that the administrat'on Yias assisted the anti-silver wing of the party by giving offices to members of the free sl ver committees and thereby winning them over to the other side. This sounds like a very much more serious charge aga'nst the character of the men who are managing the free silver fight than it is against the ad- ministration. . Minneapolis Tribune: This is the starting point, the entering wedge, %0 to speak. The two wings of the party are really irreconcil- able. In Kentucky, Ohio and Iowa the sil- ver democrats permitted themselves to be brow beaten and relegated to the rear in this year's conventions, but it is poss:ble that, drawing courage from the inspiring example of their fellow silverites in Nebraska, they will not submit so tamely next time. Chicago Record: If the populists nominate a ticket it will take from the silver demo- crats their chief suppcrt and leave the field open to the republicins. Ocdinarily the dem- ocrats and populists can earry the state for a tusion ticket, but if these are split into thres factions the republicans have plain eailing. Neither the republicans, popullsts nor admin istration demccrats, however, have held the'r conventions, and until they do no one c:n guess as to the result of the election. Buffalo Express: The silver wing of the democracy has held its convention and nom- inated a_state t'cket on a free silver plat- form. The sound money wing refussd to take any part in the procced'ng and will hold a convention and nominate a ticket of its own. In taking this course the sound money men are, at least, acting more coura geously and consistently than their brethren in some of the other states, notably Ken- tucky, but the split leaves democratic suc- cess entirely out of the question. Indianapolis News: Thus the Nebraska democrats have separated themsolves fr'm the national organization and have reversed the policy laid down by the last natioral convention. Thelr action is not surprisng Whatever strength is left in the free silver movement is in the distinctively western states, though it was only the other day th.t the Towa democrats refuzed to follow the fres coinage leaders.
