Report of the House Committee Is Rather

Report of the House Committee Is Rather
Mild III It's Effect.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The House
Panama InvestiG ting committee in it's
report finds THAI 4 ) far as the treaty of
1916 with New Granada is concerned,
and SO far as the concessions granted
to and contracts made with the present
Panama Railroad corporation are con-
cerned. there is no clear ground for
the assertion that any exclusive right
to cross the isthmus was ever
in terms granted, or by implica ton
secured, either to an American cor
poration Or to d citizen of the United
States to the exclusion of citizens of
any other country. There seems to be
ground, so far as the evidence before
the committee goes, for the claim that
the government of New Granada or
the United States of Colombia has ever
guaranteed that the United States
shall control the transit or place any
limita ton on the IegaI rights of share
holders in the railway company or re-
striction in the nationality of its own
ers of stock.
The committee has done it's utmost
in the limited time before it to investi-
gate the charge that money was ex-
pended to prevent opposition to the
plans of the canal. 1t has been unable
thus far to trace directly or indirectly
the expenditure of any money what
ever in corrupt way to influence the
Legislative or executive action of the
United States government.

Think They Can Repeal the Racing Bill!

TRENTON, n. j., March 3.-Reports
from officials of the New Jersey Citi-
zens' League are that enough votes will
probably be secured to repeal the race
bill next week. Vigorous efforts are
being made to convert nearly all the
men who voted for the obnoxious meas
ure, and there will be no let-up in the
urging and pleading until the roll shall
be called. In connection with the reso-
lutions adopted yesterday the league
will present mammoth petitions to the
Legislature asking for the passage of
the repeal bill.

aPITS.
A small quantity of potatoes may be
kept in a pit dug in some dry and shell
tered place, as a barn or some clubhouse.
Observe same treatment as in keeping
in cellar. Place plank over the pit,
and cover these planks with dirt when
the weather gets cold.
BANKS
The sweet potato is sometimes kept
in banks like Irish potatoes and tur-
nips. This bank should be sheltered
and ventilated. The potatoes should
not be covered with dirt until seasoned
for a few weeks, and not until the
weather is cold enough to require it.
OTHER PLACES OF STORAGE.
Barrels filled IN the patch, removed
to any place of storage and left uncov-
cred will keep well if dug when dry,
just before frost, carefully handled,
kept dry and at the right temperature.
Enough potatoes may be kept in this
way in a family room to supply the
family through the winter. When the
weather gets very cold, the barrels
should be rolled close to the fireplace,
and if necessary, a fire kept burning
all night. This will require little at,
tention in ordinary winters.
In keeping the sweet potato, as in do
ing anything else, good common sense
should be exercised. Our actions should
be controlled by ideas derived from a
knowledge of the subject, and not so
much by rules. 1t is the principles I
wish to impress upon the reader rather
than any set formula. In handling the
potato, considerations may sometimes
arise that this treatise does not antici-
pate. In such cases good Judgment,
when experience is wanting, is your
only criterion. John c.. BridgeWateT,

M MAN POWER.

1t was Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States and a Wall street
minion, who proclaimed with empha-
sis that a public office was a public
trust.
Bat what has he done to prove his
assertion or to make the people believe
that he is possessed of One iota of sin
cerity? Not a single. solitary thing in
all the records.
The Globe was for Cleveland two
years before the nominating conven-
ton, and in the face of strong opposi
ton here at home it fought for him
manfully pleaded his cause, because it
believed him honest in his public life
and sincere in his political prt tensions.
But the Globe, just a drop on the great
surface of America, yet no less a drop,
to day washes its hands and begs the
pardon of those whom it tried to teach
that Cleveland was a winner. He has
been a cheap and sorry Judas. He has
not stood upon his platform. He has
dallied with the rich and intima,ed in
no uncertain way that the poor man
may be damned for all of him. He has
not listened to his country when his
country called, and above all, he has
assumed one jackass power for himself.
and says, implicitly if not directly, that
the country must bow before him
that it must know no other gods. This
sort of business will cause trouble. 1t
cannot last. When a Democratic Presi,
dent becomes the cheap tool of the
money changer in the Wall street
temple-then the fires are kindled for
a revolution.
People in North Carolina, the ma
jority of those who yelled for Grover
Cleveland a year ago, keep silent now
and hang their heads - they are
ashamed of the part they played.
And yet the obese and fatty degenera
ton of honest politics goes along, ex-
ultingly defying the people who made
him what he is. They did not make
him great for the raw material was not
at hand-yet they gave him a great
position.
The One Man Power has been as
serted by Grover Cleveland. Andrew
Jackson, the prince of devils, was not
as full of egotism and personal pronoun
rs as is the big stomached joss from
Buffalo.-DWrhGm Globe.
