DON'T PAY FOR DIGGING.
The Potato Crop is Enormous in the North
western States.

The Potato Crop Is Enormous in the North
western States.
WASHINGTON. Oct 14-Reports to the
agricultural department show decline
in the conditions of all the principal
crops except oats rye and barley.
Complaint of potato rot comes from
the northern and more southern of the
New England states, New York and sew
eral of the states adjoining the great lakes
and Missouri and Kansas.
The most serious complaint of the po-
tato grower this year is the low price of
the product, particularly in the north
west. The report from the departments
agent for Wisconsin and Minnesota rep
resents that in the latter state the tubers
do not pay for digging" He states that
the yield is enormous.
Apples-The continued drought, hot
weather and high winds of September,
causing premature ripening and drop
ping, have resulted in loss of over two
points in tine average condition of ap-
pies, The average condition now stands
at 700.
The general conclusion in the British
cereal trade that the wheat harvest of
the world for 1895 is about 100O00.000
less than 1894, is announced in the re-
port of the European agent of the agri-
cultural department for October. The
report adds: "It is known however that
d greatly reduced quantity is being fed
to stock, leaving about the same quantity
for human beings"

A "FESTIvAL" THE THING.
Captain Waters Suggests Something Good
Henry Auerbach Advocates a Busi-
ness Mems Club.


Henry Auerbach Advocates Busi-
ness Mems Club.
The idea of a Topeka festival to be
given next fall as outlined in the JOUR-
NAL of Saturday evening is intended to
be built upon by our citizens with sug-
gestions. Business men and others are
favorably inclined toward such propo-
sition.
Captain Joseph Waters, who is as full
of originality as they make 'em has
novel idea aud wants the agitation kept
hot from now until next fall. He said
today:
and city holiday were observed
by Topeka citizens there would
not be half enough days 1t gets
us together and makes us more socia-
BILE. 1--WE want a weeks festivities next
fall and want something original If
every man in Topeka would lend his aid
to push this along we could make it as
much of a success as the Kansas City
Priests of Pallas.
at must be original, too. 1t doesn't
take originality to plaster a lot of corn
on building and call it corn carnival,
or coal on board fence and call it coal
carnival, behind which a man stands
with a bottle with the cork out
"My idea is a Roman carnival. Take
Kansas avenue and have Ben Hur race
from Fifth to Eighth. Have floats rep
resenting ancient carnival times. That
could be one day. Have another of
flowers with fireworks at night. Have
races and general four days jubilee.
II think every man would turn out,
take off his coat and work up such
meeting.
"We have the best bands in the state,
the Modocs, Topeka club, good railroads
and every inducement to make such
festival success"
Henry Auerbach, the rustling and
hustling young merchant of the Palace
Clothing company, expressed himself as
being highly pleased with the sugges-
tion and favors the formation of a club
of business men to start the ball rolling.
Mr. Auerbach thought the merchants
would take a great interest in such
move and aid it in every possible man.
ner. He said:
TT seems to me that we could just as
we'll have the people of Kansas at the
state capital for four days festival next
fall as not.
I'VE could have races, merchants
carnival, some big statesmen, floats,
pal oOOss LII 0WOtho anu a JOAlS tliAO
"One day should be devoted to flowers
and fruits, putting them all over the city
and scattering them from the floats
II am sure the business men of all
classes would be unit in working for
such a movement"
The JOURNAL will from day to day
continue to publish suggestions from our
citizens, and any communications on the
subject will be welcome.
Let US all get together for the good of

HARRISON SET RIGHT.
AS sertions That He Opposed the Mckinley
Bill While President Refuted.


CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 14.-The Com
paper. edited by Perry S. Heath, who
was close to Harrison during his ad-
ministration says:
"a great deal has recently appeared
respecting the attitude of President
Harrison toward the Mckinley tariff
at the time of its adoption. 1t is con-
tended that in the capacity of president
General Harrison opposed the adop-
ton of schedules as high as those in
the Mckinley tariff, and that he en-
tered protest against them to those
who had the me asure IN charge. One
prominent Repu blican newspaper has
stated recently that the Mckinley tar
iff defeated Harrisons reelection. and
that this fact is the cause of 'Harri-
sons feeling toward Mckinley An
other influential Republican ewspaper
in the West announced that during
the consideration of the Mckinley
bill, President Harrison summoned its
author and Speaker Reed, and possibly
other party leaders, and warned them
against the adoption of such high
figures. The Commercial Gazette is in
position to say that all such state
ments are untrue and misleading.

Mckinley tariff law. He took no part
in drafting or the consideration of
the measure. No feature of the law,
SO far as those who compiled it are
aware, represented his particular
