Big Potatoes and Big Wheat.

The far-away western farmers are raising
prize crops which cause the eyes of eastern
farmers to open wide with establishment.
The other day MIR. Rusk, the Secretary of
Agriculture, received specimens of prize
acre. of potatoes, raised in Salt Lake
county, Utah, by R. M. Carlisle, and a day
or two afterward ne received specimens of
a prize acre" of wheat grown by E. j.
Northcutt of Whitman county, Washing
ton.
The potatoes are of the mammoth
pearp variety, and some of them weigh as
much as three pounds each. The yield of
the acre from which the potatoes were taken
was 947, bushels, and they are very good
potatoes, being white and smooth and of
excellent flavor. Mr.. Carlisle was under
the impression that the department of ag-
riculture had offered prize of $500 for the
biggest yield Of potatoes upon one acre,
and so forwarded some Of the potatoes of his
big yield, together with all the proof neces-
sary to show that he was a Trustworthy
farmer and that his statement about his
pototo crop was in every particular cor
rect.
The specimens of wheat from Mr.. North
cults prize acre" are plump. heavy and of
bright amber color. The wheat was planted
in October, 1889, and was harvested in
August. 1890. The yield of the acre was 101
bushels and II pounds. The name of the
wheat is the "Northcutt Giant"
Senator Allen, of Washington, being
asked about the reliability of Farmer North
QUIT, declared that he knew him well, and
that there was not more straightforward
or truthful man in the state Of Washington.
The wheat, he said. had been exhibited at
the Northwestern exposition held az Spokane
Falls, and there were hundreds OF people
who were acquainted with the big yield.
He declared that of his own knowledge he
knew that crops of wheat averaging forty,
forty-five, fifty and even sixty bushels to
the acre, were not uncommon in Whitman
county. And these large crops are raised
without irrigation or the aid of fertilizers.
With such crops the people OF Washing
ton ought not to complain. The trouble
with them, however, is that they are so far
away from market that big crops are not,
after all, so profitable. Even if the wheat
should be changed into flour the cost of
transporting the -four to market would
almost equal the total amount received for
it. But as long as LOCO bushels of potatoes
or 100 bushels Of wheat to the acre can be
raised there is no reason to fear that the
time is near at hand when the earth's food
supply will not be sufficient to feed the
earth's population.

Race Prejudice in Brooklyn

The New York Press is highly indignant
at the conduct of the Brooklyn IN. "
policemen who persist in making the life of
the one black man on the force a burden to
him. The Press says that the time for such
senseless outbreaks of race prejudice has
passed. The time may have passed, but the
prejudice remains. We have always con-
tended, and still contend, that there is more
prejudice against the blacks in the north
than In the south. The very men who cry
out against race prejudice as unreasonable,
and condemn it in unmeasured terms, are
the ones who do not want to be brought into
contact with the blacks or have anything to
do with them.
They condemn others for making dis
tinctions between whites and blacks, but
they want the blacks to keep as far away
from them as possible. 1t is safe to say that
the editor of the Press would not care to be
seen walking on Broadway with one of the
black editors of New York, and why? Be-
cause of the prejudice against the blacks.
And yet this editor critcises severely the
Brooklyn police force for their opposition
TO the presence Of a black man on the force.
Black mechanics have a pretty difficult
time in most of the northern cities to find
work, because of the hostility of white me-
chanics to them, but they find no difficulty
in getting work in the south.
The north plays the part of a hypocrite
in this race matter. She is not overrun
with the blacks as the south is, and yet she
is less liberal in many respects to the blacks
than the south. At the same time she is
continually lecturing the south for having
prejudice against the blacks. If she will
give more attention to the prejudice which
| she has, she will have less time for lecturing
the south

Cotton VIII hs Coward With lutte.

Cotton VIII be Covered With Jute.
The cotton farmers have acted wisely in
entering into an agreement with the repre-
sentatives of the iute bagging factories for
supply Of Jute bagging. The maximum
prices agreed upon are doubtless reasonable.
or else the farmers would not have accepted
them.
The refusal Of the farmers to buy jute
bagging as a covering for cotton, and their
efforts 10 substitute cotton bagging for it,
broke up the jute bagging trust-a trust
that thought it had the farmers in its power
and could rob them as it pleased.
But would it not have been wise for the
farmers to have made a year ago the
arrangem emit with the jute bagging manu-
facturers which they have now madef
They had the trust whipped and could have
dictated the terms Of an arrangement.
There were those, however, who insisted
that juts bsgging should not be used again
as a covering for cotton, and SO many Of
the farmers last season used cotton bagging
at very considerable loss per bale. The
MORNING News, which was with the
farmers in fighting the trust, advised
return to jute baggIng when the trust was
destroyed, and it was quite severely
criticised for doing so. But it
seems that the farmers have
finally concluded that the MORNING NEWS
advice was good. The farmers can feel
certain that the MORNING NEWS will, to
the best Of its ability, advise them as to the
best course to pursue in any matter in which
their interests are at stake.
There is no doubt that jute bagging is the
best and cheapest covering for cotton that
there is. A better and cheaper covering
may be found, but until there is cotton will
be covered with lutte

Mai. McKinleE,s Ambition.

IL is very well understood that Mai. Nc
Kfnley is a candidate for the nomination of
his party for President. And he thinks
that he stands better chance for getting
it than either Mr.. Blaine or Gen. Harrison.
he proposes to run for governor Of Ohio on
platform of which his tariff bill will be
the chief plank. Hs thinks he will be

tion will be within his reach. He is strong

that when they do it will be very popular

President it is probable that he will try to
be Senator Sherman's successor in the
Senate.
But if Maj. Mckinley wants the people
to have a correct understanding of his tariff
he will have to be much more frank in dis
cussing it. In the speeches which he has
been delivering In New England he has
made statements with respect to it which
seem to be long way from The truth. For
instance, he said that his tariff had not
caused an increase in the price of any article.
He must have known that such statement

articles have advanced greatly since the
adoption of the Mckinley tariff.
Maj. Mckinley expects to gain some
popularity from the cheapening of sugar.
But at what a sacrifice have the prices of
| sugar been lowered More than $50 900. 900
annually of import duties have been given
up, and, beside, the government has agreed
| to give the sugar growers of this country
bounty Of 2 cents pound The bounty
will amount to more than $4,000 the
first year, and it will increase greatly, in all
probability, each succeeding year.
MAJ. Mckinley was beaten for congress
because his tariff was unpopular-and his

How man commonly accredited with
sufficient judgments and sense to be capable
of sitting as justice upon the bench for
thirty-ave consecutive years, at salary of
ST, 500 year, can be so deficient in execu.
tive capacity and forethought as to squan-
der the whole enormous sum that salary
would aggregate so as to leave his family
unprovided for at his death is beyond COM
prehension. When the late Judge Brady
died in New York he left only $1,000 as a
residuary legacy from the result of over
thirty years Of continuous service at good
salary. Although rather remarkable this
result has come to be so common among a
certain class of public men that it is no
longer subject of general comment New
ertheless such condition of affairs indi-
Gates as much selishness as it does inca
pacity.

Rather serious charge is that brought
against Chicago millionaire by newsboy
who has been serving a term in the Illinois
penitentiary, which he alleges has been the
cause Of running his health. In his claim
for sfe6, 600 damages he asserts that his i'm
prisonment was altogether through the con.
nivancs Of a rich iron maker who desired
to break off an acquaintance between his
daughkE and the boy. incidentally he also
charges that the alleged journalist, West,
was partly responsible for his misfortune,
through treachery aud cupidity. 1t is a
very curious and remarkable case, and if
the boy has been imprisoned and msligned
in the way he describes he certainly deserves
all the redress he asks for.

Italy's Irou-Clads.

Now that there is talk Of war between
this country and Italy the question is be-
ing asked whether or not this country is
prepared for a war with that country.
Some Of our navy officers are expressing
the opinion that it could not be otherwise
than that Italy would get the better OF the
contest, for the reason that she has one OF
the finest navies in the world, while this
country has scarcely any navy at all.
One naval officer is quoted as saying that
Italy has four iron-clads which are equal
to any that are aAoat II war were de-
clared one or more Of them would be dis
patched to this country at once, with the
view Of collecting hundreds Of millions Of
dollars from New Ycik. These iron-clads
carry bundTed-ton guns, and could lie at
sea nine miles from New York and destroy
that city in a very short time. Under a
threat Of bombardment New York would
give up any amount Of money. And there
are other of our sesports which could be
dealt with in the s1me way.
1t must be admitted that we have not any
warsbips which would stand chance of
success In a contest with those of Italy, and
in the event Of declaration of war there
would not be time to build any, but Ameri-
can ingenuity has never yet been found
wanting in an emergency, and there is a
pretty general belief that Italy would not
be permitted to get the better of us even if
we are virtually without a navy.
But the possibility Of the want of first
class war vessels, and the fact that if they
should be wanted they would be wanted
very quick, suggest that it would have been
wiser to have appropriated more money for
the construction Of navy end less for PEN
gions

Sometimes the great Standard Oil Com
pany comes in conflict with its competitors
in way that necessitates a resort to main
strength aud awkwarduess, as in the case
of the Manhattan Oil Company pipes in
Ohio that were laid across a Standard
farm. Adopting Standard methods, the
superintendent of the Manhattan company
overcame all opposition by throwing down
the farm manager and sitting on him till
the pipes had been laid. That is rather a
summary procedure, and will very prob,
ably lead to formal litigation. But the
