Among the more remarkable discoveries in
economic botany mentioned, was that Of the
seeding of the sugar cane, which though the
plant had been cultivated fol hundreds Of
years. had not been observed before. BY a
curious coincidence it was noticed the same
season in Java and also III the East Indies.
Some of the seeds were sent to Barbados and
planted, but Of tho e which grew scarcely two

ing so great that they could scarcely be re-
cognized rs the same one which appeared
to have reverted e. some prehistoric form,
had long roots splinging out from every
Joint Of the sttm. Hitherto, the sugar cane
had been propasatel by slips, but if they
could be induced to seed regularly many new
and improved varieties might be raised.
Sir Henry Blake arrived in London from
Jamaica by the last Royal Mail Steamer. 1t
is understood he has come for six months and
partly at the suggestion Of the Colonial
Office authorities. In all probability his
visit has some relation to the departmental
inquiries recently carried on in the island,
and which have led TO 50 much comment i'll
columns of the local press. Sir Henry Is at

The city was full of impecunious tour

the police station, where they were
booked as dodgers.
One of the crowd mistook Officer Ahern
for an ordinary citizen and asked him for
money, and when the officer refused him
the stranger led off arM gave him a good
solid punch in the face.
Ahern then had an inning, and soon
the fellow was flying through the nearest

emerged on Second street, near the West

black stand close by.
The CORY apparition SO terrified the
occupants of the place that they rushed

and the air was filed with flying snow

characteristic OF a blizzard. Our horses
were picketed, and they stood and shiv-

Next morning there was six inches of
snow, the greater part of it inside the

On Sunday, we struck a ranchman's

return from the chase. 1t was quite
cool from a thermometric standpoint,
and as 1 sat my horse and shivered, the
occupant of the prairie castle emerged
from his domicile and greeted me. I in

him it he had anything which night be

to have met with a rousing reception,
and everybody was we'll pleased. Treas

stand up and tell of one act done by the
populist administration which has bene-
flied the people of this state, or lessened
their burdens in the slightest degree.

Hope, is, indeed. Against fusion as a

for the democratic nomination. Nice
man, nice little hypocrite.
Ransom County Gazette: The ad-
dress of Miss Bates, from beginning to
end, was full Of original thought, elo-
quent diction, and an earnest, impress
sive delivery, showing the deep thinker,
erudite scholar, and the conscientious,
christian worker. The address through
out was an intellectual treat TO all who
heard it, as was evident by the enthusi-
astic applause by the large audience.
Lisbon Free Press: Prof. Crocker
says it may be possible for democrats
and populists to fuse, but his wife has
discovered that in trying to "fuse" kero-
sene with gasoline results in making a
straight out apd out "pop." 1t is a dan
gerous experiment, but you are sure of
making a "pop' out of the process. The

On the state ticket against whom the

She was originally nominated by the
democrats and indorsed by the populists.
AT the populist state convention this
year she was nominated by them, but
with the understanding that she was q
democrat. Her Endorsement by the pop
ulists is all the democrats get for sacri-
ficing their candidates and indorsing the
bulk Of the populist ticket.

AN ELOQUENT SPEECH.
Hon. s. g. Comstock Makes a Rous
ing Speech at the AJheneum
Last Night.

Hon. S. G. Comstock, ex-member of
congress-, of Moorhead, MINI, last even
ing addressed a large meeting at the
Atheneum. Hon. +. A. Williams, who
long ago by his ability as a presiding
officer won the heart of every true North
Dakotan, called the meeting to order
and, in a few pleasant words, introduced
the speaker of the evening. In personal
appearance MI. Comstock is six feet
high, large boned, strong frame, without
an ounce Of surplus flesh, large head,
bald, a piercing gray eye, sandy chin
whiskers, growing from a characteristic
ally strong under jaw. He has a modest,
retiring appearance, that lends an indie
scrlbable charm to his presence on the
rostrum. Decrying all pretense at ora
tory, he talks to his hearers with that
peculiar drawl to his words that at once
marks him as a son Of the pine-clad hills
of Maine, and which rivets the attention
from the beginning. His climaxes are
pronounced without orator1cal flourish,
but with all the fervor of true eloquence.
No review of the speech can do the gen.
tleman Justice, as even if published in
full it would lack something about his
manner Of delivery, which caused his
hearers to give the closest attention to
every word he said for an hour and a
quarter, and wish he would still 90 on.
The crowd fingered in the hall after it
wat over, wishing the speaker would
begin again. The speech was pronounced
by all who heard it as the best thus far
delivered in the campaign. He said in
part: 4
"We have assembled here to discuss
the issues of the campaign, in which we
are now engaged. We find in the field,
asking your suffrages at the polls, three
political parties, the populists, the dem
ocrats, and the republicans, each of
whom have held state conventions, and
promulgated their platform Of principles
and nominated their candidates, and
while the democrats have done a great
deal more fusion than nominating, it is
fair to say the candidates on which they
fused have. if not openly, at least tacitly
endorsed their party platform"
He demonstrated conclusively the fal
lacy of the populist platform that the
profits or advantages to the people to be
1ors-ol fr0po -. = .tE.r =
operation of railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone lines. He saidstate ownership of
railroads had been dlscredited by the ex-
perience of illinois, Georgia, Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania; that govern
ment ownership of railroads in Canada
resulted in loss to the people,; that in the
Old World, Greece, Italy and Holland
owned but did not operate their railroads,

the republican candidate for superin-

a brilliant address before a crowded
house in this city last Saturday evening.
She confined her remarks principally to
education. Her references to politics
from time to time, however, was by no
means an unpleasant feature Of her dis
course. Miss Bates is an educator of
marked ability, possessing all the quail
tications necessary to demonstrate her
superior fitness for the position she is
striving for. She is a eloquent speaker,
a pleasant conversationalist and a lady
of practical and refined attachments, and
would be an honor to the state as super
intendent Of public instruction.
