A Substitute to be offered.

It is reported that the republican sena-
tors have decided that the committee on
territories should frame substitute for
the house bill that should be SO broad in
policy and fair in terms that its rejection
by the house would saddle that body with
the unpleasant responsibility to the people
of the west. When this bill is made up, it
will be pushed through the senate with ex-
petition, as it is desired to reach the con-
ference stage at least this session.

Duluth Badly scorched.

Fire was discovered in the Duluth Grand
opera house shortly before 2 o'clock ON the
morning of the 28th. 1t started in the
basement and was soon beyond control,
although the whole fire department was on
the spot. At $3.50 the building was total
loss. The postoffice was also consumed,
but the mail was saved. There were five
stores and numerous upper floor tenants
in the opera house building. State Sena-
tor Whiteman was removed IN dazed con-
dition. Many Of the tenants lost their
effects. The opera house was
owned by Munsell & Markell and
cost $4,000; insured for $4,000.
The principal losses outside of the opera
house itself are as follows: Boyce & Toll
man, druggists, loss, $4,000; ]. 7. Con-
don, hats. $4,000; NJ. M. Grasser, grocery,
$4,000; Seig & Levy, wholesale liquor.

occupied 10y the offices of various lumber
firms, lawyers, chamber of commerce, mu-

of the opera house fell into the street, but
no one was hurt. At A a. m. the fire was

A Large Strike.

cars in New York city was tied up on the
29th. When the last trip was made Mon
day night each car was run into the stable,
and at a. m. the great strike commenced.
The only lines running were Third avenue
and Blocker street short lines and the
Twenty third street, Fourteenth street and
Christopher street. The total number of
men affected by the strike is about 1000.
New York police made every effort to pro-
tect the lines which attempted to put on
new men, but the Brooklyn lines were
offered no protection, and made no attempt
to run cars. The efforts of the New York
lines to man the cars in place of the strik-
ers met with but indifferent success, oc-
casioning several collisions of strikers and
police. in which the crowds were each time
dispersed with sore heads, but no fatalities
occurred. The car companies refused to
arbitrate the questions at issue. New York
business has been seriously interfered with
by the tie up.
Many lines were able on Thursday to
start their cars under police protection.
More men applied for positions than could
be put to work. A significant expression
was copied from Inspector Williams in
structions to his men. He said: IF the
crowd uses clubs you use your pistols.
Have no nonsense about it. / want no
play, no foolishness. If necessary, use
your pistols, and use them we'll. Shoot to
kill" 1t looks probable that the strikers
will lose. They seem too few to cope with
the companies ard the constituted author

POTATOES FOR SEED.

The Importance of healthy tubcrs for
seed is too we'll known to REQUIRE more
than mere mention. Another import
ant fact is that no crop benefits more
from frequent change of seed than po-
tatoes. On the subject of cutting pota-
toes for seed Mark Lane Express says
"AIany growers prefer planting the sets
whole. OF course it economies the seed
If one potato can be made to do the work
of two, but we question whether the cut
potato makes the safest seed, especially
on farms that arc addicted to potato dis
ease. The great drawback to the whole
potato has been that it sends up too
many stems together and the crop is in
jured by overcrowding. But is it not
possible to prevent this by extracting all
the eyes excepting, says, two2 We
should think there would be little diff
Guilty about that; there can be no doubt
that the whole set this far depleted of its
sprout eyes would have more nourish-
mcnt to support the young plant than the

ment, moreover, would be concentrated
on the two shoots left, which would tend
to strengthen and fortify them for the

Tide Prniries.

But very few, il any, of the hundreds
OF people now arriving here from inland
States know anything about our tide
pniries, and for their benefit this article
is written. First, they are not mud flats.
ms many suppose, but they are genuine
prarics, built up on the one side by the
deposits Of the ebb and flow of old ocean,
for how many millions Of years no man
knows, and on the other side by the wash
ings of decaycd vegetation from the hills
and uplands ever since the hills stood :;
the two mixing their deposits and wash
ings together have grown up an alluvial
formation which is not or cannot be ex-
ccllcd for richness in the known world.
These prairics extend from the waters
edge back to the uplands and up the
various streams and are only covered by
water ut high tide, and even in their wild
state grow n nutritious grass which, if
not fed down, grows far above the head
OF an ordinary man. But when old oceans
salty brine is fenced of by dyke is when
this land shows its mcttle; it laughs at
five tons of timothy to the acre; 100
bushels of oats, 600 bushels of potatoes or
fifty-siX tons of bects or rutabagas is no
burden whatever, and year after year it
seems to increase in fertility; it has no
wear out, drought do not affect it, but it
tolls on year by year, and rs sure as the
farmer puts in the seed and keeps it clean
from weeds he is sure of rich harvest
This land never disappoints the owner,
but is as reliable as old ocean itself

They should never have all they will eat.

ing if they were not killed. When Il
young pig chokes at the trough, squeals
and falls over in fit, it is over-fcd;
when it goes to the side Of the stall,

saved by at once reducing their feed to

hind limbs is caused by overlooking by
which the kidneys have been over-taxed

than two quarts of mill, and four ounces
Of solid food, such rs bran or oats and

increased, pigs made a steady and health-
full growth, while two others kept pen
by themselves, and suffered to gorge
themselves, became stuntcd, stopped
growing and in the third week one was
attacked by congestion of the brain and
had to be starved out of it, losing fully
two months growth. When young pigs
are weaned, they should be fed in
shallow trough, from which they can
take their food only slowly. A pint of
