What Of the Potato.

The potato as a natural vegetable
product is monstrosity. 1t is sim
ply mass of starch granules group
ed together in grotesque and irregu-
lar ways, so that protuberances of
greater or less size, pulled up into
singular forms, make up the struc-
ture. The potato viewed as an arti-
Gle of food, has few nutrient princi-
Piles to recommend it, but as a table
luxury it is highly esteemed in all
lands where it has been introduced.
What is more appetizing than a
healthy potato just from the hot oven,

THE MAJORITY GROWS
JUDGE FLBNING'S PLURALITY BIGGER
THAN EVER.
The Latest Reports All Encouraging 10 DsnOcrs-
y-Fhs Legislature Democratic, and
& Chance for All -Four Of the
Congressman.

Democracy is on top in West Virginia
and there she intends to stay. Yesterday
was the day for the official count, and
while the changes in the vOts ANNOUNCED
were very few, they were uniformly in
favor of the Democrats. At this hour, the
election of Judge Fleming by o majority
Of about 800 is assured. And semi
official returns have been received from
every county; they have been verified time
and again, and the results foot up . clear
and substantial majority for the Demo-
cratic candidates.
The vote on the Congressional candidates
is even more encouraging. Alderson's
election is certain beyond doubt or psrsd-
venture He ran far ahead of McGinnis in
Nicholas, Webster, Upshur ..aud adjoining
counties, and bis plurality will be any
where from 200 to 400. Smiths msjority
in Mason is cut down thirteen the discov-
cry Of o clerical error, and Jtckson's vote
swells over sixty by the latest returns from
Wayne. The Judge is now in the lead,
and in all probability will stay thsre to the
end. Wilson's election in the Second dis
trict is conceded.
The official count in the first reveals
errors which reduces AtBiuson's plurality
to IA, and there is q good prospect for
further reductions. A recount will be de-
mandsd in any case, and the election of
John o. Pendleton is highly probable.
Returns flom the Third district elect q
Democrat TO the Legislature there, thus
giving majority OF five in the House, and
a clear majority of three on joint ballot.
West Virginia Democrats have cause to re-
ioics in the fullness of the result. The
State IS theirs and no power can take it
from them. Following are our figures by
counties:

reached the farm of Jas. L, Horton, he
and his two sons showed fight and with
three guns made it very warm for the
Doty crowd. The desperadoes were too
much for them, however, aud captured
them sud tied thSm 10 fence, whore they
vera found four hours later by friends.
Ths thieves secured sixty head Of horses

President Cleveland May Have Chance
to Name Another 0fiiclal.
WASHINGTON, November 12.-Thsre
has been much speculation ast the make
up of the Cabinet of the next President,
which has been more entertaining, from
its romantic character, than from any
foundation in fact, but there is one part
that has been generally overlooked, name
", that the head of the department
Of agriculture is about TO become
Cabinet oficar. The department
of agriculture has heretofore been
an independent bureau, without any
standing greater or less than auy other
bureau. Tho department is already or
gauizsd, aud the only material change is
that the commissioned bscomes s&retaTy.
The other officers retain their present
standing. If the bill is passed in Decem-
bsr, President Cleveland will have the
privilege of naming the first secretary oI
agriculture, if he cares to exercise the
pTivilege under the circumstances, and
doubtless he could find some ambitious
statesman who would be willing TO accept
even though the term Of service would
necessarily be brief.

81 regret sincerely the defeat Of the

nor were our hopes of winning ever more
assured than in the late election, but 8
chilling and killing FROST got in most
powerful work somewhere, ascribs the
failure OF President Cleveland's reelection
to q number Of causeS, many of which are
now just coming 10 light. In the first
place there was too much Doodle against
him. The amount Of money put into the
csmpsign by the &, o. p. will never all be
known.
"As usual there was q very skillful and
ingenious manipulation Of the bloody
shirt by the Republican party. Mr.
Cleveland's administration has been patri-
otic to the very foundation and braVer
man never had the presidential horror
given him, but the bold issues which arose
on the eve of election were instrumental
in bringing about his defeat The people
had not time to thoroughly understand and
digest the intricate tarff question, and
therefore were induced by ignorance, petty
miSiudged interests ana Republican
Doodle, to believe that reduction of the
tariff meant calamity and the ruin Of our
country.
"The high protective bosh will assume
q different aspect by 1892. and then trust
tie people will find that prote ction is q
great hood-wipking game played by gorged
monopolies. Already numerous classes are
peIcaiving that high protection is soft
snap for the millionaire manufacturers,
and delusion and snare to the poor
workman. Professional and business men
have no liking for this one-sided machine,
and if the issue had been brought sooner
the result of the election would have been
different. Probably factionsl contests in
New York contributed somewhat to tie
disaster"

PITTSBURGH, KAN, November H.
The account of the niue disaster at Front
enac, have been largely overdrswn, that
it Is deemed proper for the information O.
the public, that st last one true statement
ofthe facts should be officially given. There
has been up to Sunday evening at 6 o'clock
thirty-nine dead bodies recovered,
and about twenty wounded and Injured
Of the latter not to exceed five will die
and probably not that many. Experts and
Volunteers are still thoroughly searching
the entries and rooms of the underground
workings, for any bodies which may pos.
sibly be left there, but it Is thought they
are all now discovered and included in the
list of killed and wounded. There were
originally about $50 msn in the mine at
the time of the explosion, those over and
above that lumber OF killed and wounded
having escaped sco1 after the explosion
by way of the air and escape shaft.
Officials of the company are on the
ground from Topeka and all is being done
that can be for the relief of the suffering
and distress of all the wounded mea and
destitute families. Girard, Litchfeld and
this city have turned cut robly with all
sorts of aid and there will be funds raised
at once for all necessary expsnses. Twenty
bodies, mostly of unknown men and for
eigners, ara to arrive in this city at 10
o'clock to-dsy and will be taken from the
depot to the cemetery, where some appro-
pirate ceremony will be held. 1t is ex-
pected there will be lIga concourse of

ness houses will be closed.
