Through the vigorous propaganda of (
Colonel Charles J. Murphy, special agent <
in Europe of the United States Agricultural
Depaitment for the introduction of
Indian corn as a food supply, Germany
has developed great interest in the
cereal. At a meeting of the Association
of German Bakers in Berlin a report was
read on the use of corn and its adoption
was recommended as a food staple. This
may mean a heavy demand for American
corn in Germany. The German Government
is putting up a coin mill plant,and
it is probable that corn will iodq bo
adopted for use in the German army.
The Emperor takes greet interest in this
question, and one of the first loave?
baked by Colonel Murphy's agents was
eaten at the royal table. German millers
are already ordering milling machinery
to grind corn iu anticipation of the da
maod for meal.
It seems that in Corsica you secure
your personal safety by keeping a bandit. , ^
In au article in the National Review t
Basil Thompson explains that the tax of J
supporting a bandit is not without its f
compensations. Bandits aro a hidden t
Jpower in the country. They control the r
petty elections; they menace those who i
re hostile to their own friends. Tnus, J
while the osUtence of tid'J of them is a ,
jreal danger to public security, it is no 1
email advantage to a Cor3ican to he rev
lated to a bandit. You support, you 1
pay, protect the bandit; and in return '
he places his gun at your disposal. It is
fen exchange of services. "He has a bandit
in b:s service'' is a common expression.
*?.re you in debt? The bandit
will gain you time. Aro you disputing
the ownership of property? The bandit
will show your opponent he is wrong.
Have you land on which Rhepherds trespass?
He will keep them off.

According to a St. Louis decision,
quoted by the Boston Transcript, the
stealing of electricity is a misdemeanor
dn the eyes of the law. A hardware
dealer with some knowledge of electricity
placed a fine wire across the connections
to his meter, and caused it to
register in a certain time about 330 amperes
less than was actually used. When
'brought to trial his lawyer interposed the 1
ingenious defence that, as at common .
law electricity was unknown, and could t
not under the code he made a subject of
larceny, and as nostatutory law had been <
passed making it a felony or misdemoan- ^
or to steal electricity, for the reason tbat (
its character was not known, and that it
was not subject to asportation as person- ^
al property, his client could not he con- s
victed of larceny. It was, however, *
shown by the prosecution that gas. ?!eo
unknown at common law, was neverthe- I
less something whose larceny was recog- j
nised by the law as a misdemeanor. 1
When the attorney for the defence inter- "
posed the plea that the act in question ^
was fraud or deception instead of a
larceny, the judge took advantage of the j
Missouri statute which makes fraud per- s
petrated with a view to theft a felony, '

Chicago, 111.,June 22.?The New York

i last desperate hope of defeating the
lomination of Qrover Cleveland. They

nine that nf (ionorol Honi-I- W
ilocum, of New York. Gorman, the
*Jew Yorkers would have nothing to do
vith.
The New York delegates are very inlignant
with the Maryland Senator,
vhom they charge with having broken
heir combination against Cleveland two
lays ago, after encouraging them to beieve
that he would stand by them. They
alked freely about Mr. Gorman, and
old some of the inside history of the
lorman movement ofj Sunday and its
elation to the Hill movement. Mr. Gotnan
and Mr. Brice, they said, encourag>d
the Hill leaders in New York State to
:all the mid-winter convention. Mr.
3onnan promised that the Maryland contention
should be held soon after the
convention at Albany. It was pari of
be policy of the anti-Cleveland people
o weaken the strength of Cleveland
hrough the country by having his State
nstruct for Hill, and by following this
vith an anti-Cleveland convention in
Maryland, which has always been a
Cleveland stronghold. Mr. Gorman, the
lill men gay, broke faith in this and did
lot have the Maryland convention called
intil almost every other convention in
he country had been held. Two weeks
igo Mr. Gorman met Senator Hill, Mr.
liurpby and Mr. Sheeban in New York,
rkis meeting was chronicled in the papers
but no statement was made public
>f what had been dene. Ilill men say the
nceting was held at the instance of Mr.
Gorman, to consider the opposition to

Cleveland at Chicago and promised them
lis support. He intended at that time
o remain in the East, but Mr. Hill urged
?im to go to Chicago, and he finally consented
to do so. Arriving here, he coninued
to confer with the Iiill people and
it one of these conferences, held last
Sunday, he authorized them to use his
lame in the effort to form a combination
igainst Cleveland. All of this, thevsav.
hey have now discovered was for the
purpose of fuitheriug the ambition of
ilr. Gorman. When they laid before Mr.
jlorman the results of iheir canvass,
ihowing that with his name they could
prevent the nomination of Mr. Cleveand
011 the first ballot, they did not
ihow enough strength to assure to Mr.
jlorman the nomination, and he
hereupon repudiated the whole arrangenent
and went into the Cleveland camp
VIr. Gorman's side of the question has
lot been stated in full but his friends in
he Maryland delegation have given out
lince the canvass of Monday the statenent
that he refused to permit his name
o be used and that his refusal was be:ause
h v 'Sieved that it was to be put
ip only 'or the purpose of heating Cleveand.

nanager Whltrey came in soon afterwards,
and joined the "anti-snappers"
imid applause. In the long wait the band
was the only soarcc of relief for the imlatient
galleries and they played over
igain all the tunes that captured opprovil
yesterday.
Precisely ? IS.50 Temporary Chairnan
Owens rao^r^ i he,.convention to
XrtM'r. Cjuob County 1
Church of Chicago, to offer prayer. He ;
asked that the convention be guided to
choose a representative of modern progressive
Democracy and prayed that the
party might proceed to victory not for
the spoils of office. Just aa the prayer
concluded the Iowa phalanx entered the
hall, the big blue banner with the pic/- rooo

them. There were cheers from all parts <
of the hall, and the baud inappropriately 1
struck up "Maryland, My Maryland."
When the music ceased the temporary <
chairman brought his gavel down and <
announced that the first business of the 1
convention would be the report of the i
committee on credentials. Be asked if <
that committee was ready to report. "Be- '
fore any one could reply, Mr Watson, of
Minnesota, got the floor and in a brief '
speech moved that the courtesies of the i
platform be extended to ex-Senators Jas I
K Doolittle and Lyman Trumbull. The ]
chair declared this motion carried without
putting it. The chairman again aik- i
ed if the committee on credentials were
ready to report. i
Mr, Shaw, of Maryland, from the ex- i
treme rear of the hall, replied that they i
were not. i
The chair?"At what time can the com- I
mittee state that they will be ready?"
Mr. Shaw?"Not before two o'clock." i
This announcement was received with j
a subdued murmcr of disappointment. |
The chairmau enquired what was the |
next pleasure of the convention, the committee
not being ready to report.
Mi. Bronson, of Kentucky, got the
floor and moved that the chair appoint a
committee of two to wait on the committee
on credentials and ask when they
would be ready to report.
I It
* uc iinniuu nnjj ni;uni iu, nuu iUI.
Bronson,of Kentucky, and Mr. Pollard,
of Indiana, were appoictcd.
Mr. English, of Indiana, chairman of
the committee on rules and order of business,
then took the platform and read
the cominittee'6 report as follows: As
chairman of the committee on rules and
order of business I have been instructed
by a majority of that committee to sub
niit the following report:
We recommend that the following order
of business be observed in this convention:
1?Report of committee on credentials.
??Report of the committee on organization.
3?Report of the committee on resolutions
and platform.
4?Report of the committee on nomination
of the President of the United
States.
5 ? Report of the committee on nomi
ination of Vice President of the United
States.
Your committee fuither recommends
that the rules of the last national Democratic
convention shall be adopted for
the government of the convention.
To the surprise of the convention, no
minoiity report was presented and on
motion the majority report presented hj
Mr. English was adopted without objection.
The chairman asked if the committee
on resolutions was ready to report
There was no reply and in the interval
that followed the band struck up a lively
air.
At the conclusion of thi9 performance,
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, was recognized
to present a zinc gavel. He said: "Mr.
Chairman, in behalf of the zinc producers
and miners of Missouri, 1 present to you
this gavel, not mado from tin or stolen
from a Nebraska homestead, but mined
and made in Jasper county, Mo., and
bearing the inscription 'We need no protection,'
as a protest against the mockery
of legislation which imposes a useless
tariff of thirty per cent, upon the metal
as a pretext for taxing the lamp, pick,
shirt and blanket of the miner more than
forty per cent. The miner is ready to do
his part in giving the electoral vote of
Missouri to the nominees of the convention
by 40,000 majority." The chairman
accepting the gavel repeated in substance
the .remarks of Mr. Phelps which had
been almost inaudible to the convention.
The chairman of the committee on resolutions
not being in sight the chairman
ordered the clerk to ask the delegation
to send to the desk the names of members
of the national committee and of
the committee of notification.
The roll call was about to proceed
when Mr. Owens, of Kentucky, asked
how the State of Pennsylvania" was recorded.
Being advised, he said: "In
the face of that, I want to call the attention
of the convention to the fact that
New York is still Democratic."
There were mingled cheers at this announcement.
Then the call of the roll
proceeded with the announcements being
greeted with eheeis.
There was a minute of suspense and
then the clerk announced thevote564 ayes
and 342 noes. The announcement was
greeted with cheering and waving of hats.
The New York delegate proposed three
cheers for Henry \Yatterson and the
New York delegation gave them heartilv

plank.
Mr. Patterson, of f'olorado, said there
was a point of difft i> nee in the committee
on rcsolu'ions- It lela'ed to the
coinage plank and the substitute that
some of the members from the South and
West offered considered the word "free"
before the coinage and substitute would
have it read as followr"We

newed. The delegates sprang to their
leet, many of them mounting chairs;
hats were thrown in the air, and the
noise of cheering was deafening. Michigan's
' banner was wared aloft again.
The enthusiastic banner-bearer forgot
discretion, and, taking the banner across
the aisle, flaunted it in the face of the
New York delegates.
("Jen. Sickles resented this impertinence,
and denounced it, and be was
joined by other members of the delega
lion.
Mayor Manning, of Albany, pat out
bis foot to bar tbe aisle where he sat,
and the banner-bearer fell. Michigan
men were across the aisle in an instant,
and it looked as though blows would
follow. Gen. Sickles: "We in New
York are gentlemen, and do not propose
lo be insulted."
"So are we," said a man from Michigan,
"and we know how to behave ourselves."
"You cannot carry that man's banner
across here," said 8ickles," waring bis
crutch in the air. "We propose to say
who shall be our candidate and we do
not want to bare Michigan ramming
their candidates down our throats."
j nen a luiouigan delegate poured oil
uu the troubled waters by laying: "The
inau was told not to raise the banner and
he had no right to go over in the NewYork
delegation In any event," and the conflict
which threatened blows came to an
end.
The cheering continued intermittinglv
for ten minutes. The chairman succeeded
iu poundiug order with his gavel and
Governor Abbelt went on. At the next
sentence : "Not only will he receive the
support of every Democrat in the land"
there were cries of "No," and counter
cries of "Yes" from all over the hall.
Stopping a moment, the Governor repeated
; "I said every Democrat," laying
a strong emphasis on the word "Democrat."
The point brought down the
house.
At another poiut where Gov. Abbett
paused, some one cried: "Give us a Democrat,"
but it did not provoke a demonstration.
When Governor Abbett came to
the review of the modern heroes of
Democracy each was cheered in moderation
from Russell to Boies, but when
David B. Hill's name was mentioned
Tammanj- and the New York delegation
led a demonstration second only to that
which the Cleveland men had made.
Mounting their chairs the New Yorkers
led a cheering army which found recruits
momentarily in everv part of theJisll.
Twice the New York men sat down but
each time the cheering started anew and
again and again the friends arid admirers
of Hill arose to their feet. Just behind
the chairman, Dr. Mary Walker stood
almost alone waving a white bandkerhief
in the face of the convention.
After the speech of Gov. Abbett. carried
on aud closed amid much confusion,
English, of Indiana, took the platform
to second the nomination of Cleveland,
saying that Senator Voorbecs was confined
to his bed by severe incur position.
A letter was read from Voorhecs, endorsing
Cleveland, aud was loudly cheertd.
At 11.45 n.rn.. Duneomh took th? nlat..
form to present the name of Boies, of
Iowa, saying that for the first time a man
would be presented for the high office of
President who liver west of ttie Mississippi
river.
After Duncomb had concluded the
rain was pouring iu torrents and the
lightning flashing, and the chairman took
refuge under an umbrella. Colorado
being reached, yielded to New York,
when \V. C. DeWilt, of Brooklyn, made
his way up the aisle to nominate 8enatoy
Hill. But the storm was to great that
the New York delegation unanimously
requested him to pan** until it should
anate. In a few minutes the raging of
the elements having diminished Mr. DeWitt
made a very stirring and forcible
speech in behalf of the Now York Senator,
and in conclusion, after defending
the mid-winter convention, said: "Ours
is tbe coign of vantage, the point of
strategy, the very spot of victory or defeat.
We appreciate the responsibility
of our position and would speak to you
like men whose blood flows in their
words."
After the nominations had been made
and seconded, and motions to adjourn
had been repeatedly defeated, the roll of
States was called as follows:
Alabama 14 for Cleveland, 4 Morrison,
2 for Campbell.

The chairman quietly put he motion and
it was carried by a large majority?so
large that there was no dwisioa ana the
chairman then put the question on the
adoption of the platform.
There were some disseAtlag votes, but
the chairman declared the platform

THE PLATFORM.
At this point in the proceedings the
Committee on Platform submitted its report,
recommending aud reaffirming the
Dill of rights of the Industrial Conference
held at St. Louis on February 22,
1802; declaring for the union of labor
forces; demanding a national currency,
safe, sound, flexible, aud issued by the
Sneral government only; >demanding
je and unlimited coinage of silver; demanding
that the amount o' circulating
medium be not less than $50 per capita;
demanding that postal savings banks be
established by the government; asserting
that all lands now held by railroads and
other corporation? in excels of their actual
need?, aud all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers; nsscrting
i hat the telegraph and telephones,
like the postoflice system, is a u* cessity
for the transmission of news and should
be owned and operated by the government
in the iutercst of the people.
The third and last plank in the platform
was:
"We declare for honest elections, the
great bulwark of American liberty, that ,
the will of the people, may be expressed,
uncontrolled by vicious partisan laws and
machiuery, either federal or State, or by
the influence of money power, and we j
call upon every freeman to use all lawful

The entire report was unanimously
adopted, and after the transaction of considerable
unimportant business the con
vention adjeurned.
Cotton Raisin? in Peru.
Washington, D. 0.?United States
Consul Daughertv at Callao, Peru, has
made an interesting report to the Department
of Stnte on cotton raising in Peru.
Calculating expenses of three and a half
years, covering six crops, the cost of unginned
cotton per quintal, delivered at a
ginning establishment, may safely be set
down at 1 95 silver sols. Prior to IHH5
the principal market for Peru cotton was
Liverpool, though a few shipments were
made direct to Hamburg, where its special
ada'ablity for admixture with woolen
goods was first recognized. Since the
above mentioned ye ?rs the direct shipments
to New York have been annually
increasing. The cotlon is put up in biles
