the motive is conquest or protection OF
American interests. The latter is an OBJ

with resistance by all parties. AT Pana-

distress is extreme. Ten thousand persons
are homeless and dependent on ram

at Panama from Colon. The losses at
Colon will probably aggregate $4,000
900. The foreign insurance companies
decline to make the payments. 1t Will be
months before the business can be re-
sumed. Consequently shippers will be
heavy losers. The fall of Carthagenia is

A QUESTION OF veRAcITY.

Charges Of Attempted Use Of Improper
Influence Made by Carter Harrison
Against John A. Logan. Denounced by
the Latter In the Most Vigorous and I'm
equivocai Language.
CHICAGO, Ill, April 5-The political
excitement incident to the municipai
election tomorrow has been intensified
TO fever heat by the attack made Satur-
day upon Mayor Carter Harrison by Gen.
eral John A. Logan. A few nights ago, at
a large Democratic meeting, the Mayor
openly charged that some little time prior
to the trial of Mackin and Gallagher for
election frauds, certain parties connected
with the prosecution had offered to pro-
vide loophole for the escape OF the de-
PENDANTS upon condition that Mackin
should secure the cooperation OF sum-
cient number of Democratic members of
the Legislature to enable the Republicans
to secure a majority on joint ballot.
United States District Attorney Tuthill
and General Logan were mentioned as
being privy to the scheme.
Last night General Logan spoke to an
immense meeting of Republicans at Bat
tery ID Armory. His address was a
merciless arraigument Of Harrison's ad-
ministration, and when he came to the
MAYORS speech be became greatly cx-
cited. Suddenly he paused for moment,
and then raising his voice he shouted: 81
denounce Mayor Harrison as uttering an
Infamous, v!llainous falsehood. lie is a
vile, infamous liar; poltroon and Il
coward"
For moment the audience sat speech
less; then there was murmur of sur
prise, followed by round after round OF
applause. When quiet had been restored,
General Logan again advanced to the
front of the platform and said in stenio-
rian tones:
al again pronounce Harrison a vile,
infamous slanderer, poltroon and
coward. | repeat this remark, that the
press may get it correctly, and that
may not be misunderstood"
He then took his seat.
In what manner, If any, Mayor Harrl'
son will respond to this attack Is not YET
known, hut there is an unconiirmed lie.
port that he has addressed letter to
General Logan demanding an apology
and retraction. The matter creates q
great sensation, especially at politica
headquarters.
1t is an interesting fact that while Gen.
eral Logan was speaking Mayor Harrison
was repeating his charges at North
Side meeting, and reading an affidavit

Henry Ward Beecher's fAllusion to the Ola
Commanders Passage Through the VAL
ley.
New YORK, April 6.-Rey. Henry Ward
Beecher preached yesterday morning for
the first time since his return from his
Southern trip He seemed fatigued, and
did not speak with his customary vigor.
The sermon was from the text, Hebrews
xxx: s: "Jesus Christ, the same yester-
day, to-day and forever"
Mr.. Beecher, after cxpounding the text
in the light of Gods unfailing love for
men, said: "why should we hold back
from death? Why should we mourn for
those that have departed? The bud of
last autumn is blossomlng this spring.
Shall the autumn weep because its buds
are going to the consummation of
beauty. The children that you have
are not so near you as the children you
have had, and that now have you, In a
crystalline memory of the heavens. They
that are going forth out of life, are not
going ont of life, but into life, and when
they lie In the valley of the shadow of
death, or travel through it, it is not for
us to weep and mourn, but to sing to
them from the hther shore, the voice of
song and of graduation saying: 'Pass
on, hero, thou that hast served well; thy
crown awaits" Sing to them until they
catch the strain from the other shore, pd
in the thunders Of praise and love rest
from their labors with Christ and God "
Mr.. Beecher was much affected in thus
referring to the dying hours of General
Grant. As on the previous occasion,
when he has touched on this subject,
tears filed his eyes and his voice fall
tered, until unable to control his feelings,
he brought the discourse to close,
pausing a moment TO regain his self-pos-
session before Offering the closing
PRAYER. There were abundant evidences
of sympathetic emotion throughout the
audience.

why President Cleveland Does Not Go
Much on Petitions.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 5.-In an
interview yesterday Buffalonian claims
to throw light on the reason why long
petitions In behalf of an applicant for
office carry very little weight with the
President The dispenser says; "When
Mr.. Cleveland was Mayor of Buffalo a
number of his enemies organized con-
spiracy against him. One thing they did
was to draw up petition requesting him
to resign. Knowing how good-natured
business men generally are in the matter
of signing petitions, never reading them,
but signing whenever asked, they took
the petition around to a number Of
Cleveland's own friends. Sure enough,
they all put their names down on being
asked.
When the petition came to Mayor
Cleveland ne was considerably surprised
to find the names of many Of his best
friends on the paper. Now you know that
Mr. Cleveland Is not man to do any,
thing hastily. He did not jump to the
conclusion that his friends had become
disguised with him. He suspected that
there was some mistake. lie sent for
some of his friends whose names were on
the petition, and hen he found that they
had been entirety ignorant of what they
were doing when they signed the paper.
That little incident clearly proved to Mr..
Cleveland that numerously signed .peti-
tions are often of but little value"

SEED POTATOES.
More In Having Them I'm Good Condition
Than Most Farmers Think.

More In Having Them in Good Condition
Than Most Farmers Think.
While this subject is discussed every
year by intelligent farmers, when plant
ing time comes, the rule is, that no at
tention is given to the conclusions
drawn from the discussions, but seed
for planting is taken from whatever
potatoes chance to be left of those put
in the cellar for domestic use. Some
times this may be good policy, but as
rule, it is a very bad one.
If the cellar be cool one, with an
even temperature, and the potatoes be
undisturbed, the seed will be very good.
ii good when put in, but il the cellar be
warm, or cold enough to chill the po-
tatoes, or II the potatoes be continually
disturbed to pick out the best to cook,
those that are left in the spring will not
be what is wanted for planting.
A potato to be in the best condition
for seed should be kept where the tenn
perature does not fall below forty de-
grees, nor rise above fifty, and also
where no light will come to it, and the
air should not be very dry or very
moist. The most correct way is to
select the potatoes for seed as soon as
they are dug, and in selecting care
should be taken to reject everything
that has the appearance Of disease; the
health of the seed is more important
than the size. A larger quantity should
always be selected than it is believed
may be wanted for planting so when
planting time comes, a second selection
can be made. In doing this all that do
not have good strong eyes should be re-
jected. II the potatoes have been kept
just as they should be at planting time
the eyes will have started Just enough
to readily show their strength, and yet,
not enough to cause them to be injured
by careful handling, which should al
ways be done with seed potatoes; to
handle them as though they were stones
is wrong, especially if early potatoes
are desired.
The first sprout that starts is not only
the strongest, but will produce the
earliest potatoes. When the sprouts
are several inches long at planting
time, without the most careful handling
they will be broken of, but when
handled with great care, and planted
so as to preserve the sprout without IN
jury, it will not only secure crop one
or two weeks earlier, but it will also Sc
cure a much larger crop than il the
sprouts be broken off. This we have
proved by actual trial.
II farmers would give little more
attention to their seed potatoes they
would not so often be at loss to ac-
count for small crop. There Is more
in having seed in good condition than
most of farmers think. In very rlch
soil IL does not make so much diner
ence. as in poor soil; but even IN
rich soil it makes difference, whether
the seed is in the highest condition OF
not Massachusetts Houghndn.
