Alexander Brown & Co. have
driven a sharp bargain with the
Texas coast people, and having
squeezed the bag Of its contents,
have left the subscribers to that
deep water work to hold the bag
until it fills up with suckers. The
abandonment of that work is not
accepted in good faith, else why
was the formal abandonment left
until the contract was out? The
prevailing impression is that the So
called abandonment is only a ruse
to gobble all the small stockhold-
ers and get the land subsidies
sailed down, then within the three
years Of grace so foolishly granted
them operations will be resumed,
all the little fish drowned out and
the Baltimore syndicate the whale
in the mill pond.

South American professionals com.
plain that their appeals to the
pope for greater religious liberty
pass unheeded. There is nothing
in the situation that justifies any
restriction Of religious liberty,
there or elsewhere. Self interest
governs in the vatican as we'll as
in the A. p. A. councils. Religion
is largely a name to conjure by,
instead OF standing for the liberty
of the individual soul.

There is going to be no end of a
fight at st. Louis for the tempo
rary organization, as upon that
depends in no small measure the
whole outcome. The seating or
unseating of two or three delega.
tions may change the whole COM
plexion of the convention vote on
that important first ballot.

Now, that the Arkansas Pass
deep water work is dropping into
the vaults OF the Baltimore syndi-
cate to be seen no more of men
for the next three years, it is in
order to revive that Brazos valley
enterprise, build the San Antonio
and Gulf Shore down to Velasco
and put this city in direct com.
munication with deep water at the
most favorable point for main
tanning on the Texas coast.

The Dutch Beers in South Africa
have blood a little thicker than
water, and are not willing to stand
by and see the massacre OF women
and children, even in the camp Of
those who have plotted the over
throw of their government. There
Is a highmindedness in this thing
that is lost on meu like 10. Cham
berlsin and Cecil Rhodes, but it
ought to commend itself to Sails
bury and the mistress of the court
of st. James. 1t is time that Vic
toria interviewed to prevent the in
justice that has been done to
Kruger and his people, and an
ample apology rendered for one Of
the gravest Of international crimes.
The government Of Great Britain
will be under a cloud until she
rights this great wrong.

There Is no doubt that the officers
OF the A. P. A. are making mer.
chandise of the order and using it
to pay of some old scores against
Mckinley. They are accused by
the very parties whom they cite in
evidence as lying by the card in
their statements. Such men can
not prevent the inevitable.

Germany is building on her
natural increase in the way Of pop

position with France. France is
not gaining in numbers and Ger

the natural industry Of the French

bearing has long been known.

The presiding bishop of the
Methodist general conference finds
himself confronted by the same
hot passion and the same con-
fusion and the same disregard of
the proprieties, by the ministers
on the floor of that ecclesiastic
body, as characterizes republican
convention in Texas. His appeal
for decency, when the woman re-
presentation was sprung, would
have been counted semi profane
had it come from the lips of a
chairman of political convention.
They all do 1t when their toes are
tramped on.

The Clark program for the hard

Of the Texas democracy. Begin
nings are much alike.

There is no one so blind as the
political boss who will rot see, and

P|NGREE POTATO PLAN
The Success That Has Attended the
Scheme in This City.

The Minneapolis Pingree Potato Com
mission has good reason to feel proud
OF its work The returns from the expc-
riment of last year are fairly complete
now, and A. M. Hove, one OF the active
workers of the commission, has some in
teresting figures at hand, in addition TO
those already published. He has heard
definitely from ia of the persons who
took advantage of the Pingree plan offer.
These returns show that the total
amount of land cultivated in the city was
43, acres. This was divided into patches
of fractions OF an acre. No less than
1901 bushels OF potatoes were raised
1904 head OF cabbage; 1852 bushels OF to-
n,atoes and varied quantity of all the
other vegetables grown in this climate:
The total value, at a conservative esti-
mate amounted to $1,000. The expen-
ditures of the commission in this, their
first experiment, hardly reached S2l5.
Many of the persons helped have applied
for the privilege of using the same patch
of ground again during the coming sea-
son. The commission will hold meet
ing in the near future to make arrange
ments for the coming season. s..
The largest yield reported on, any sim
gle patch was that cultivated by Thomas
Carter, who produced las bushels OF po-
tatoes from patch Of ground one-third
of an acre in extent. The lot is in North
Minneapolis, and is owned by Judge Ell
Terrence.
The record made by the Minneapolis
commission compares favorably With
that of other cities that have tried the
Pingree plan. The members OF the COM
mission feel that the work has done a
great amount of good, and saved the city
J a large number of charity cases; this win
ter. Laboringmen who have regular
work have also taken up with the idea
and are cultivating ground that other
wise they would not have thought Of
using. The industry seems to breed in

any wheat on this bulge, the market has
reached q point where the bull news has
no further effect on the market than to

a bearish effect on prices.

again, and are bidding up for grade, wheat,
No. 1 northern, sold freely at 1Ac under
the May option and a few cars sold at 11ac

down. still more there is a good demand

are all readily absorbed.
