Prom oar Begalar Correspondent Unless some of tho nhrpwd- e8t iioliticmns in .Washing on nrp mistaken, the df-atli- knell of Algerian, wus sound ed when Gov. Pineree an- tiouncea hm deal with Alger to tiy to put ihe hitter in o Senator McMillan's seat. Secretin y Alger, who has list returned to , Washing ton is said to be asmndasa lornet because Pingree gave out the deal before he was eady to have it made pub ic. He wished to remain m he Cabinet and make as much URe . as , possible of the many plums at the dinposal of the War Department, be- ore the deal got out Now, riends of Senators McMillan and Burrov8say that if Al ger doesn't resign voluntari- y, they have thf means to compel Mr. McKinley to ask or his resignation. Some :IJnk Mr. McKinley will do :hat without any compul sion, not only because of his riendlinesH towards Senator McMillan, but because of his dislike for Pingive on account of his free criticisms on sev eral occasions of McKiatey- ism. At any rate, everybody is again hoping that the end of AlgeriRin in the War De partment is near. Hon. R. M. Finley, the pop ular Comptroller of the State of Texas, is enioying a visit to Washington. Asked how things were in the Lone Star State, he said: "Texas is en joying a iair share of pros perity. The crop prospects are fine, and there is a great er demand for our unimprov ed land than there has been for a long time. The next cen sus will show that we have populated largely in excess of three million, which in in telligence. thrift and morali ty will vie with the citizen ship of any state in the Un ion. Gov. Sayres is making a fine record, and his admin istration is popular with al classes. There is but little go ing on politically, and wewil not nave any excitement in that line until nextyear. The state is overwhelmingly foi W.J. Bryan for President and a solid delegation pledg ed to him will be sent to the next Democratic Nationa Convention." Judge Nash and Boss Ban na's man, Dick, wer6 hobnob bing in Washington, when news of 3ov. Busfenell's open attack upon Hanna, Nash and Dick, and his incidenta attack upon Mr. McKinley reached them. They had in tended to remain in Washing ton until Mr. McKinley re turned, but all j)lans were a once abandoned, and they rushed back to Ohio Jo ascer tain the extent of Bushnsll's following in his open revolt against the Hanna machine Private advices indicate tha the revolt will be strong en ough to give the stateto the democrats, unless they pu up a w eak ticket, which is not likely. If there isn't a job concaal e"d in the erection by a pri vale party of a ; building for the use of the Census Bureau the signs are all deceptive. 'Voih the day of his appoint meat, Director Mernam in-., sisted that only a, building arge enough to put practi cally all the employes on the floor would answer. That shut out every existing build ing in Washington. Then here ws talk of the Bureau erecting a temporary bnild- ng upon Government prop erty but the accounting offi ceis of the Treasury ended that by deciding thatno part ot the appropriation for the Bureau could be used ' for Ruch a purpose. Then the shadow of tho job became vis ble. Offers were asked from owners of lots large enough o erect the sort of building eqnired. ,The only one that suited Director Mernam was submitted by a man who be came rich as well as familiar with jobs while holding olfice under the old government of he District of Columbia. It was accepted, ana a lease made for uve years, wnicn is ikely to be extended to seven or eiirnt oeiore tne insus work is completed, at an an nual rental of 825.000. The ground upon which this buil ding is to be erected has been used as a coal yard for years the rental hardly being en ough to pav the taxes, nnd it is claimed that $100,000 i- to be spent in erecting tb luilding. E ven if that amount were expended, the lease will still be a very profitabh one, when it is considered that money is going begging when the security is as good as this, at 4 per cent; but an expert who has seen the rough plan for the building says, it will not cost much, if any more than $50,000. Not a little surprise was ex pressed in Washington when it Vas learned that General Wood had for the time, if not absolutely and finally, declin ed the offer of $30,000 a year made him by the Street Bail way and Electric Light trust which has been buying up nearly all of the street rail way 8 and all of the electric companies of Washington, to become its President, and an nounced hisearly resumption ot his duties as Military Gov ernor of Santiago. Inasmuch as General Wood was fresh From a conference- with Mr McKinley when he made the announcement, it is inferred that he has received some def inite promise of further pre ferrment of some sort, if he will remain in the army. He js now a Brigadeer General of Volunteers, but that pays less than one fifth of the sala rv onered him. His rank in the regular army is what was when he was made Col of the Rough Riders, that o Captain. Our baby has been continu ally troubled with colic and cholera intantum since n i s birth, nnd all that we could do for hnn did not seem to give more than temporary re lief, until we tried Chamber Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remeday.

Farmers in the corn belt may not. be a ware of the fact, but it is, nevertheless, trhe, that the manufacturers of he new smokeless powder promises" to benefit them ex tensively. The British Govern ment closed a contract last all with the Standard Diall ing Co., of Chicago, for the m mediate delivery of 124.- 000 gallons of distilled spir ts at Montreal, with an inti mation that it would want 400,000 gallons more in a Hhort time. The spirits order ed were for use in the manu- acture of smokeless powder. The Japanese government ias recently ordered 0,000 barrels of spirits for the same purpose, nnd has, given no tice ot large luture require ments. Our own government has already ordered 10,000 barrels and further orders will follow. Henceforth smoke ess powder will be exdusive y used in civil warfare, and in the manufacture of this powder distilled spirits play a prominent part, this open ing up a new and extensive market for American corn. In the light of these facts, the preparations of Great Britain and the constant ru mors of a great European war take on local and per sonal interest to every West erneorn grower. An extensive war among the great Euro pean nations would have a marked effect upon the mar ket for spit its and lor corn, as the whole world is to a large extent dependent upon America for this ingredient of smokeless powder.Jand this powder is a necessity in war fare. This use for corn, coup led with the forign demand for cheap food article, which is increasing rapidly, assures the farmer a fair price for his staple: but other uew de mands of equal importance should not be overlooked The number of articles of com merse that is now being made from corn has reached twenty-nine, and every par ticle of the grain is at pres ent turned into some useful product. The glucose sugar refiningcompanies alone rr an ufacture this number of prod ucts and the number of bush els of corn consumed by these factories in the United States reach well into the millions. The following is a list of the products now being man ulactured from corn without the use of any other compo nent material: Mixing glncoes, of three kinds, used oy refiners of ta ble syrups, brewers, leather manufacturers, jelly makers fruit preserves and apotheca ries. Crystal glucose, of 4 kinds, used by manufacturing con fectioners. Grape sugar, of two kinds, used by brewers principally, aud also by tanners. Annydron sugar used -by ne and beer brewers and a potheen ries. 'Pearl starch, used by cot ton and paper mills. Refined grits, used in t h e place of brewer's grits; they are giving better results. Flourine, used by mixers of flour without detriment, ex cept as to the feeling that 1 a porn product, is taking the place of a wheat product. Four kinds dextrine, used by fine fabric makeis, paper box makers, mucilage and glue maker;apothecaries and many industries requiring a strong adhesive agent. Corn oil, ined by table oil mixers, lubricating oil mix ers, manufacturers, paint manu?acturers, and many similar industries where vege table oils are employed. Corn oil cake gluten food, chop feed, and gluten meal, all cattle-feeding stuffs of a very high grade and capable of being scientifically fed with superior advantages. Rubber substitute, a sub stitute for crude rubber and very extensively used. Corn germ the material from which the oil cakes are obtained. British gum, a starch which makes a very adhesive medi- nm, and is used oy textile mills for running the colors, as well as by manufacturers who require a very strdng ad hesive medium that contains no trac of acid. Granulated gum which com petes with gum arabic, is us ed successfully in its p'ace, aud finds a ready preference by reason of the absence of any onensive odor. Probaby the most impor tant in the above list of prod ucts is rubber substitute, the substance which the Chicago chemists have recently brought to pertection. This new rubber, made from the waste of ordinary yellow corn, will cheapen the price of rubber goods 25 per eent. Corn rubber must be cornbin ed with an equal quantity' of Para rubber to give it gener al utility. Twenty chemists have been employed at the Chicago refinery ior a year in bringing this new rubber to perfecction. The great diffi culty has been to make a pro duct that would resist heat At last the chemists have developed a quality ot corn rubber thai will bend, stretch and show all the resiliency of the best Para, which is the standard of commerce In the manufacture of glucose part of thecorn, about 5 per cent, could not be utilized. This waste is what will be trans formed into the new substi tute for rubber. Corn rubber has almost the same appear ance as the ordinary reddish brown India rubber. Oil of corn, from which principally the rubber is made, does not oxidize readily. Its tendency toward oxidation is one of the principal defects of India rubber. The chemists who have been working on corn rubber declares this to be an enormous advantage of the new product. Articles manu factured from it will always remain pliant and not crack It is calculated that corn rubber can be sold at C cents a pound. It can be adapted to nearly all the uses to which ordinary rubber is put, from bicycle tires to linoleum.

' This is merely another way of stating that. Mr. Bland's public life was devoted to the'1, public feood aud that person al aggrandizement had no place in It. Mr. Bland leaves his family the heritage of an honest, name and it is worth more than riches. Mr. Bland had "never learned the mod ern methods by which a pur lic offl?er can in a few years become a millionaire ou a small salary." While not a statesman of the highest order of ability, Mr. Bland was a man of strict integrity and liberal views. He had no narrowness and no duplicity. When he was a candidate for the presiden tial nomination in 1896, somebody, hearing the fact that his wife was a Catholic was being used against him, telegraphed Mr. Bland to ask about it. We have not the ex act words of Mr. Bland's an swer. It was substantially that while he was a Metho dist he wished he had half as much religion as his pious Catholic wife.
