Miles and the Apaches.
Washington dispatch says:

A Washington dispatch says:
General Miles arrived in this city last
night and is stopping at the Ebbitt
House, whittier his wife and children pre-
coded him yesterday. In an interview
with Post reporter General Miles said
that the surrender of Geronimo was an
absolute one, and, regarded in military
law, was the same thing as a capture.
"There were only two ways" he contin-
ued, so deal with thom-either to punish
them as people or to punish them as in
dividuals. If they had been given over
to the civil authorities they could not all
huve been concicted and punished indi-
yidually, and the civil authorities could
not punish the followers for the crimes
of the leaders. Every year or two these
Apaches produce new crop of warriors,
and if Geronimo and one or two of his
principal associates had been tried and
hanged by the civil authorities the rest
of the band would have been left at home
in their old haunts and free to recon-
mence their plumber and bloodshed at
the earliest opportunity. The hanging
of one or two leaders would have had no
terror to the rest. They would only have
been aroused to new atrocities by thirst
for revenge.
GAS it is, they have been finally disposed
of. They have been crippled for life, SO
far as their power for harm is concerned.
There is no possibility of their making
any further outbreak and life and prop
erty in Arizona are no longer in danger.
These western territories have made great
progress ia recent years, even with all the
hardships and suferings inflicted on them
by the brutal Apaches, and they have now
very bright prospect before them, es-
pecially In mining. There is going to be
prosperous era for mining in all those
states and territories from New Mexico
up to Oregon
General Miles spoke in warm terms of
the courtesy shown him by Secretary La
mar and the governor of Sonora. He
said, in conclusions:
"We pursued those Apaches over 1000
miles of mountains and 300 miles into
old Mexlco-One mountain after another

A Potato Tercentary.
Pail Mail Gazette.

There is something amusing in the
name, not IN the fact, of potato tercen-
tenary. The desire for celebrations gets
fresh impulse. When we have exhausted
all of our great men we can fall back up
certainly heads the list. Very few can
boast such undoubted antiquity and not
one can show so certain date for its
first introduction. In the town of You
ghal the great house occupied by Raj
eigh in Queen Elizabeth's days remains
almost unaltered in Queen Victoria's.
Three centuries of potatoes have
grown peaceably in the beds where the
first tuber was triumphantly planted by
the disappointed courtier. We have now,
however, not in the days of romance, but
of science and of prose. We have aban-
doned herbals and pursued the study of
botany. The potato trecentenary will be
made interesting by collection of what
ever books and records deal with the sub
ject. If Shakespeare had ever mentions
the potato the line would have been in
everyone's mouth. We shant get much
poetry out of the vegetables, but we
shall probably learn a great deal about
''Kemps" and champions" and hear
some interesting knowledge on the sub
ject of the disease.
As a matter of fact, there is no article
of human food so universally popular
and of which so little is generally known.
One of the uses of a centenary is to
spread knowledge. The potato is for this
purpose almost virgin soil.
