The New England Homestead publishes mn elaborate
report ON the potato crop this week Its reports show
mat throughout the Provinces New England and New
YORK the acreage aud yield considerably below last
years-about one-third less as whole. The rot Ia
quite prevalent and grubs have greatly injured the
tubers In many sections. The rot appears TO be the
regular od-iashoned sinking decay that can be de-
pended upon to cause great injury In the great ship
ping counties OF Nova Scotia the crop Is almost
plete failure and some sections will have to import
Tor seed. The rot s working badly In the great ship
ping sections Of northern Maine and MANY potatoes
Will have to be converted into starch Vermont has
small crop Of good quality, rot being reported less
frequently than elsewhere. The eastern crop below
the average and the southern demand promises to be
larger than usual All indications are In favor of
higher prices. The HOMESTEAD advises growers who
have sound tubers to be in no haste to sell.

Refuted.

Yesterday we referred in an article
to the statement made by the Post to
the effect that the News was in some
financial strait or other. We are glad
to see the News of Yesterday refer to
the matter in severe but dignifed
terms, and by letters from both Ball,
Hutchings & Co., Bradstreet's and
Dun's agencies, show the utter fall
sity of the charge. The tactics of the
Post cannot be too severely con-
demned. We cannot understand how
it is that any paper, for any purpose
whatever, could so falsify facts as the
Post unquestionably has done. Many
papers, like THE STATESMAN, will go
into the trap, because they will fail
to understand the degree of unprofes-
sional turpitude which the occurrence
represents. Had any other great en-
terprise experienced difficulty as the
News was represented to have done
we should haye considered the matter
a fair subject of comment. We hasten
to repair any harm we might have
done by too readily accepting state
ment made in apparent good faith,
but which turns out to have been, as
we said above, unprofessionally false
in every particular.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-04-03
Suppressed.

Again has the fell spirit of mob law
received bloody and effective lesson
in this country. A few more such
occurrences as this at Cincinnati, and
with the added experience they will
bring to the authorities of the law,
and we may dismiss all apprehension
of mob power. The public confidence
in the strength Of the government is
being increased very rapidly, that of
trust in its intelligence and purpose to
protect the people will broaden and
deepen with each passing day. 1t
is true that one detects in all the au-
thorities of Ohio have done, in
this thing, a looseness of organiza-
ton, an incoherency of purpose,
and an indecision which is barely
atoned for in the suppression of the
lawless outburst. 1t would have been
so very much better had there been
promptly on hand band of armed
men under wise, temperate and cool
commanders, who would not have
committed the grave fault of leaving
the court house unprotected, thus sac
sacrificing that noble building and its
priceless archives to the blind unreas-
oning hate of the mob, A few well
armed men, a few brave and skillfuly
handled men and poor Desmond would
not have lost his life and
Hamilton county's temple of justice
would not now be ruin to plaster the
hurts of the mob. But everything
cannot be learned in day. 1t took
both the federal and confederate
forces a long time to learn the art of
war. So will it take the states and
municipal authorities of the land
long time to learn the art of dealing
with the mob. But they will learn it
and law and order will be far more
secure when the lesson has been mas
tered.
We can take no risks on this thing.
We dare not leave anything to the
chances of the mob. Good, and even
patriotic men sometimes permit their
passions to master them, and when
that is the case they must expect the
authorities of the law to deal with
them with severity. They must be
forced to keep their passions restrain
ed within the pale of the law, and to
square their acts by the best interests
of society which is of far more impor-
lance than any mere individual feel
ing. Ohio is to be congratulated that
order has finally been restored to her
metropolis and that blood and arson
no longer run riot in the streets of
the fair city of Cincinnati.

A Good Democratic Paper.

From the Bonham Weekly News.
What a change has come over the
Austin STATESMAN! Instead of being
filled with bitter denunciations OF
the state administration, it takes up
matters of general interest, whether
as news, general information or state
policy, and discusses matters and
things in fair candid way. We are
glad to see THE STATESMAN lay aside
the former venom and meet the is
sues of the day squarely and fairly
like good democratic paper should.
The STATESMAN is an able
paper and has an able and competent
corps of editors who can if they will
get up amost excellent paper and solid
democratic paper too. Just such pa
per as we need at our capital; but we
want paper not full of bitterness and
personalities. A paper frank, but fair in
everything that it advocates or OPP
poses, and we think from the present
tone of the STATESMAN that it will be
lust that sort of paper in the future.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-04-03
All For Texas.

The STATESMAN is al forTexas and
for all Texas. Its politics are not ar
ranged for middle Texas, southwest
Texas, north Texas, northwestern
Texas, nor south nor southeastern
Texas. So should be the statesman
ship of the state. First, because that
is right and all else or aught else
would be wrong, and second, because
these are the only means by which the
integrity of the state can be main
tanned, and also meet the continual
demands in certain quarters for divis-
ion. Sectionalism in this state when
it passes a certain boundary will
become as fatal to its peace as was
sectionalism once upon time in the
national policy. The narrow preju-
dice which can see but one mere local
interest. and which can work alone
for that, will answer no longer for
Texas. Neither will it procure con-
sideration for those who use it, nor adj
vantage for the section it is designed
to benefit. This wonderful state de-
mands the most perfect devotion of
her children, and demands, at the
hands of her leaders and policy-form-
ers, a degree of ability second only to
that demanded by the immense ext
gencies of the national service. We
are every day dealing with inter-
ests which are staggering in
their very magnitude and they
affect the vital interests of a
great people, and of territory which
viii yet be populated by fully fifteen or
eighteen millions of men. In the light
of such truth. of such a possibility
as this, would it not be assaninely
stupid to push north Texas against
south Texas, OF any other section And
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-04-03

THE trouble with Marion Martin is
no one has proposed to promote him
and he wouldn't give pinch of sour
owl guano for simple reelection. The
gubernatorial bee is in his bonnet and
the iron has also entered his soul.
Between the two, the Navarro states
petent solaee for any possible disap-
pointment which fate may be prepar-
ng to dish out to him. Mr.. Martin is
too wise man not to be willing to
contribute his share to the nourish-
ment of the Photographer, but all levity
aside, he is one of the best and purest
public men in Texas. That's what
he is"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-04-03

yet how often do we hear just such
sentiments gravely expressed and
earnestly urged. 1t is done, candor
compells us to say, in every instance,
by men who have not ciphered out its
full and dread significance, or by those
who are too young to remember that
just in this way commenced the growth
of that fell sectionalism which at last
eliminated in four long years of blood
and misery, and which cost this ma
ton over two billions of money be-
sides lives and tears of far more ines
timable value. There is lesson here
for the sectionalists Of Texas which
ought to be carefully needed.
THE STATESMAN will never be found
occupying ground so circumscribed,
and men may always expect to find it
across the hawse of every selfish pur-
! pose which can be remotely traced to
that fell end. Being democratic by
birth, education, association, tradition
and conviction, we shall always re-
main democratic, but we will elect
inside of party lines, to serve
only those interests which are
unselfish and unsectional. This grand
state, and the massive and wonderful
proportions to which it has grown
claims all of our enthusiasm. 1t is to
serve these interests that we publish
the paper, and not to serve the persons
and fortunes of this man or that, this
combination or that. We may err
probably will at times, but when we
swerve from these briefly stated patri-
otto purposes the action will be an
error Of the head, not of the heart; an
accident and not plan.
We have no selfish purposes to con-
slider or serve. No revenges to wreak
Our only object is to serve Texas and
the democratic party. When we make
war it will only be TO avenge an in
jury to Texas or to beat man or a
