STARCH.

There is some talk again about q
starch factory at this point. As we
have said before, ii it will pay to raise
potatoes to make into starch, on cast.
crn farms, where the land has to be
MANFRED. where stones and stump.
aud clods interfere with the use Of
machinery. II it pays to raise potatoe.
for starch under such conditions II
seems to ns that it will pay to raist
them here. where almost I'LL the work
cutting the seed, planting, cultiyat
ing, digging, can be done by horses.
There is no need Of more than mer
tioninv the value OF the potato as 9
dlversifier, both as crop and a rota
tion, aud some time our North Dakota
potato will take a place in eastern
markets and be in demand for lts
quality. just as our No. hard wheat
does.
Starch factories pay from eighteen
to twenty-five cents for potatoes. AT
that price they are more profitable
than wheat at fifty cents. Some.
times, as during the last year they
nave sold from thirty to forty cents.
Inc starch factory would make q sure
market ut a fair price, and sometimes
the general market would do better
yet. But until the market is quito
certain, farmers will not dare to ~
extensively into potato raising.

Bismarck was eighty years old on
Monday. But, though born on April
1st. he Is not regarded as a fool by any
means.
Some Ut the members Of tho Ger.
man Parliament, which refused to
vote congratulations to the man
whose brains have done more for Ger.
many than those of any other, how.
ever, have won for themselves that
cogn0men. 1t Is certainly u narrow
or weak mind that could not afford to
recognize the ability and greatness
Of Bismarck, no matter how much his
opinions on present state policy might
be condemned.
Bismarck may not be perfect, hut
that he Is great, no man can deny,
and that he has always done the test
he could for Germany, as he saw the
opportunity is unquestionablc. No
other man 10 this century has done SO
much In shaping history as Bismarck.
unless it be Gladstone.

CUBA.

Again there is rebellion in Cuba, NJ
very serious uprising has occurred
there for many years, though there
was Il time before our own war Of the
rebellion, that insurrcction was almos
chronic in that island.
That the Cubans have cause fol
dissatisfaction there is no doubt
spai" is poor: civil and foreign wars
3 general decay in business affairs
;:"d irrli Us deterioration of blood
ana chai ter, or at least lack OF
progress aid keeping up with the
procession. has kept that nation be-
hind financially, as well as in othcI
ways. Cuba is rich by nature. IIel
tropical products grow in rich pro
fusion with little labor and are Sent
by cheap watcr-routcs to near by ant
eager customers. Sugar is the prin
cipal product, but there are man,
other things exported. Spain ha.
laid her heavy hand ON all these, auG
not only exacts heavy and oppressive
duties ON imports which are ncces
saries. but also put on duties on the
products exported. In fact It levies
duties for revenue, andall the revenue
it can get.
The Cuban has long looked in thi.
direction for relief. Certainly the
laws, customs. progress and liberty OF
the United States must be enticinp
to the people who though almost in
sight Of these shores, are yet SO ia,
removed from all that those shores
environ.
But, however desirable a union with
the United States may be to the
Cuban, there would have to be great
change In the population there be fore
the acquisition Of Cuba would be al
together desirable to US. We would
ike the sugar, VIC would like the
island for strategic purposes In war
out there are a lot Of ignorant people
there that would make poor citizen,
for republic.
However the possession of Cub;
might be something towards helpln,
out the negro problem of our owl
south, by emigration there. Tn,
present rebellion IS assuming larg,
proportions and there may be a pos
siblc independence Of the island II
sight. We doubt the possibility of
successful republic in Cuba with tn
present population.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

The statistics Of the schools Of this
county. furnished US by the Kindness
Of Supt. jackson. are worthy ut note
and congratulation. When one takes
into consideration the fact that fif-
teen years ago the territory now GOV.
cred BY these statistics was nearly all
unsettled prairie, then the figures
seems almost marvellous.
Perhaps the most significant figures,
In this connection, are those showing
first, how many children OF school aye,
and second, the number that are en-.
rolled in school. The comparison Of
these figures, 5,574 and 4,9O6, shows
that 80 out Ut each 100 children 70 to
school, and incidentally that they
have schools to 60 to. 1t may be ad.
ded us a fact, that in travelling on
any given straight line from one
boundary OF the county to another,
that at 10 place will one be out Of
sight "I i school house. except that it
may 10 hid by trees or some other oh.
ject, ana liz many places several school
houses may be seen at once.
The state apportionment, being the
proceeds OF the two-mill, state levy.
Que dollar school poll and the interest
on sale OF school lands, NOW pays about
one third o! our schopl bills, and is in.
creas'ng rapidly in amount. Still the
fact .."s efe people IT their own mo-
ton voluntarily add SAG, 600 In special
taxes to the state superintendent of
$25, 900, speaks well for their interest,"
in education.
There Is one item III the report that
we disapprove of as ii useless and un.
necessary expense; that Of $44lo. for
onfcers, salaries. We got along for
many years without such salaries. and
had no difficulty in getting plenty Of
able and efficient officers. When the
township system was put in vogue
this salary business was added, 1t
does not cut much figure in that case
as the fatal nn,nha- "f snch officials
are few, but IN such Il county is fcHmdss

but isa very large SUN in the aggrc.

In any country, land We have great rea-

WOMEN on EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Political and Industrial Equality Dis
cusSed at ChautauQua.

Yesterdays programme in the woman'3
week at Chautauqua was even more inter-
esting than that OF Monday. Possibly the
general topic. Equal Suffrage" gave
peculiar zest to thespapers and discus
sions, as the theme Is a live one, and never
falls 10 draw out opposing views Mrs.
Savage, of Olympia, was the presiding Of
flcer and added much to the discussion
by her timely and apt review of the top
dcs.
In the absence of Mrs Della Buffers, of
Everett, who was TO have read a paper
on Equal Suffrage" Mrs. +. X. Sears.
of the same city. gave an extemporaneous
address. witty and sensible, which held
the close and appreciative attention OF
her audience. She affirmed the dominant
influence of woman, pointed out the great
progress the cause OF equal suffrage had
made, and made an eloquent plea for
preparation for citizenship. School suf-
frage was especially emphasized as
resent necessity. Motherhood should be
represented in the schools
After beautiful song by Miss Nan and
Miss Nellie Lugrin. the general topic was
further considered in very able paper
by Mss Ella Harrison. OF Seattle. The
hindrances TO wonan's progress were
yivfdIy portrayed and illustrated, and the
valuable suggestion made and enforced
that chief check to progress was found
fin the diffusiveness Of woman's work and
its lack of permanency. The time had
come when woman should demand equal
pay for equal work. A very full discus
sion followed this paper. participated in
