THE POTATOES ORIGIN.

There has been much question as to
the origin of the indispensable potato.
Different parties have been awarded
some credit in starting it upon its broad
and beneficent mission. One of the
city pulpits yesterday stated that in the
fifteenth century a monk in Spain,
whose name is unimportant, took trip
to Peru and brought back with him
potato. 1t was planted. and from this
single tuber Europe and America have
been stocked. With the pulpit indorse-
ment the story may be accepted. 1t is
not very material how the vegetable got
to Peru. 1t was properly insisted that
this monk deserved at least New York

adventure abroad in the fifteenth CEN
tury, and several people of that period
are still seen above the common

MURDERED HIS EMPLOYER.
Cowardly Deed of a Wisconsin
LabOrer.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 22.-The
particulars of cowardly murder in the
town of Peshtigo are given in special
from Florence, Wis. Charles Stelitz
murdered his employer, Sol Felch, a
prominent business man of Iron Noun
tain, Mich, by whom he was employed,
by way of ending dispute. Stelitz had
been working for Felch for six months
on a farm and asked the latter for his
pay. Felch told him to wait till he
could go to Iron Mountain. He then
started for an Indian camp near by,
Stelitz following and threatening to
shoot. When about twenty yards from
the Indian camp, SteIitz quickly raised
his gun and fired. the shot taking effect
in the back of the neck, ranging upward
and coming out near the eye, literally
carrying away one side of the face.
Death was instantaneous. The assassin
was seized by some of the Indians,
bound and closely guarded until Sheriff
Parmeter arrived to take charge of him
to-day. The prisoner was taken to
Marinette Jail this afternoon.

NEW STATE POLITICS.

The political campaigns in the four
new states wax warmer as the time ap-
proaches for the elections. 1t is not so
much of party strife in the two Da-
kotas as it is in Montana and Washing
ton, yet the Dakota campaigns are not
devoid of interest. Prohibition is cut
ting a considerable figure in the twin
states, and the Prohibition orators
usually know how to make Rome howl.
As rule they work more zeal into
campaign with smaller results than any
class of politicians who have yet ap-
peared in this country, and they are
not at all slack in conducting cIamor-
Gus campaign in the DakOtaS. 1t is in
Washington and Montana, however,
that the Democrats and the Republic
cans are on their mettle. Both of these
new states are fairly debatable ground,
and it is being fought over with an en-
ergy that speaks well for the leadership
of both parties. Both the Republican
and the Democratic national committees
have given some attention to Montana
and Washington politics, and the local
leaders are organizing their respective
forces as industriously as if the fate of
the nation depended on the result. The
Republicans have always admitted that
their chances in Montana were doubt
full, but up to within the last ten days
they have claimed Washington beyond
all peradventure. Now it is different.
Within the last few days the MacedO-
man cry has gone up from the Republi-
cans of Washington to the Republic an
national committee to come over and help
them. The Democrats have presented an
Unexpectedly formidable array. and the
chances are that unless campaign
Doodle can be rushed into the new state
during the present week, the Democrats
will sweep Washington like cyclone.
In Montana both parties still present a
solid front, and both are confident of
winning the victory next Tuesday. To
an impartial observer, it looks at this
distance as if the Montana Democrats
held the vantage ground, and if they
protect their TANKS properly, the fight
will be won by them. Still, the Repub-
licans are OIL the alert and looking for
weak points in the line of the opposi-
| ton: and, if the Democrats win. con.
tinual vigilance from now until the day
of election will be the price of their vic
tory. The Republicans have more al
stake than the Democrats, because il
they lose Montana and Washington
they will be deprived of working ma
| iority in the next congress.

OUR FRENCH EXHIBIT.
Prof. Riley Says 1t Was of Great
ExceIiepce

Excellence.
WASHINGTON, Sept. o. Prof. G. V.
Riley, who has been in charge of the
department of agriculture exhibits at
the Paris exposition, has just returned
to the city after an absence of five
months. Prof. Riley thinks that some of
the criticism of the American exhibit at
Paris have been essentially unjust, and,
while improvements might have been
made, the display. while not doing us
full Justice, he considers as whole new
ertheleSS reflects credit upon the coun-
try which it represents. almost every
Oae at the exposition" he says, ''agrees
that. after France, Belgium took the
lead in the quality and quantity of heI
general display; then perhaps England,
America coming fourth in the list of eX-
cellenee. believe that the awards
will confirm this estimate. This stand
ing is very creditable indeed when it is
considered that Belgium, Spain, Italy,
Portugal and other countries APP
propriated sums of money to defray
the expenses of exhibiting their goods
far in excess of that provided for in the
act of congress, which appropriated but
$3.50, 600 for the work" The agricult-
urai exhibit from the United States,
he says, received words of com
mendation on all sides, many remark
ing it as the most characteristic of the
American display. The agricultural
display was removed from the Champs
de Mars and more frequented parts of
the exposition grounds, so that it was
often not visited by those who passed
through the other sections and passed
judgment upon them. There is no
cause for complaint of the lack of facil-
tiles given us by the managers of the
exposition, although we did lack room
for a proper display of what we had.
Newspaper comment abroad on the
agricultural exhibit from this country
was very complimentary. M. Grand
eau, the agricultural editor of the
Temps. devoted far more space to 1T
than to the exhibit of any other coun-
try, and in a most f1attering way. In
commenting upon the great amount Of
territory possessed by the United States,
he wondered what would become of
the European producers when the
acreage of America is practically
doubled by improved methods of farm
ing, which he anticipates from the re-
newed efforts we are making through
the inStrumentality of our experimental
stations. 1.-The London Morning Post"
Prof. Riley says, has complimented
us by series of articles, giving very
full, intelligent and appreciatiye ac-
count of the agricultural exhibit, call
ing especial attention to its excellent
classification and to its statistical and
educational yalUeo

YELLOW SIGNALS.
The Government Wants a New
Coast Signal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The signal
service has under consideration the
adoption of a new signal to take the
place of the cautiOnary signal now in
use along the coast. 1t is a yellow pen
nant, and is intended to signify that the
service has information of value to mar
liners. Under the present arrangements
ships are sometimes held in port
when it would be safe for them to sail
owing to the lack of defniteness of the
storm signal. The adoption OF the yell
low pennant is urged by all interested
it will probably soon be added to the
code. When that is done storm signals
will only be displayed when high winds
are reported within 100 miles of the sta
tons at which they fly.

DOWN WITH CANADIANS.
Buffalo Workingmen Say They
Work Too Cheap.

w Ork 100 Cneap.
BUFFALO, n. Y. Sept. 22.-At a meet
ing last night of the local assembly of
the Central labor union the question of
prohibiting Canadian labor in this city
came up. and was discussed at some
length. 1t was claimed that every
morning large number of Canadians
came over to this city to work. They
worked for from so to rs cents day less
than the American lab0rer, and worked
an hour longer each day. The names
of some sixteen or eighteen Canadians
who came across by the ferry every had
been furnished the United States dis
trict attorney by the committee, but
nothing had been done in the matter.
The Canadians continued to come over
here to work, and were by their COM
petition causing great injury to the
lab oring men of this city. The senti-
ment of the meeting was practically
unanimous, and motion to appoint a
committee to seek advice in regard TO
the alien laborers was carried with a
rush.
