Once in q while a populist paper
''speaks out in meeting 1t is a rare
jewell among the opposition to come
out and tell the unvarnishcd truth.
The following from the pen OF Col.
Poore, editor OF the Yankton telegram,
one Of the OLDEST populists in the state
10 all the more admired because it is
the wholesome truth: 1t is said by the
Press dispatches that Gov. Lee has
wired Senator Pettigrew to keep his
hands off the senatorial fight. Now il
Pettigrew will wire back to Lee for
him to keep his hands off the senatorial
fight, the play of buncomb and injured
inuOcense will be mutual. Pettlgrew
should wire Lee by all means. He can
safely return the compliment without
fear Of missing his mark.

While the editor OF the Beresfora
Republic, Mr.. n. II. Sturgess may
have said unwarranted and untruthfnl
things Of THE COURIER editor, we are
inclined to be liberal in thought and
take 1t for granted that she knew not
whereof he spoke" However bygones
are bygones and we feel like commend
ing him for his apparently new at
titude with regard to affairs at Pierre
His remarks to be found in another
column do him honor 1t is the truth.
And he fearlessly tells his subscribers
the facts.

Tho Irish Potato Not Irish.

''The pacoliarity of tho Irish potato, so called. is in tho fact that it is not Irish, observed one of the potato ex- ports of tho agricultural department. ''Tho potato originally grew wild in the fields of Chile, Peru and Mexico. Sir John Hawkins did not take it to Ireland until 1565. Sir Francis Drake took it to Eng land 90 years afterward. It did better. however, in Ireland than anywhere else and got it's name, no doubt. because of it's carly and extensive cultivation In Ireland, Botanioally 1t was originally known ns tho Batata vir- gininna, but In after years 1t was prop eRiy identified and classified as the So. lanum tuberorum. As the winter stock Is now being laid in, 1t may be we'll for the inexperienced to be able to select good potatoes.
 ''Cut the raw potato in two and rub the halves together. If the moisture on rubbing is soft and liquid enough to drop, the potato will be soggy and set when cooked. Rub She halves briskly around on each other. A potato that will be dry and mealy when cooked will give out good, rich froth, while poor one will show only watery froth by the same action. The pieces will stick together if the potato is a good one. Of oourae the whole thing is to test the amount of starch in the potato, for the more starch the better the potato. If, however, person intends to lay in very large supply. tho best plan, of course, is to cook them. and there will be no chance of a mistake. Washing. ton Star.

MANY people speak of the decad- ence of the National Senate. They say that in that exalted branch of our Legislature are to be found no truly great men. We deny the as- sertion. Men of mediocrity have always been in the Senate, and per- haps, it is safe to say, that some corrupt men have always worn the Senatorial toga. We think Of Web ster, Clay, John Randolph, Calhoun, Jackson, Benton and other illus tIious men when we proceed to make an analysis of the intellectual and moral force Of contemporary Senators, yet we do not accord them the justice to make an analysis of their predecessors whom history and tradition say were illustrious.
 We will take Webster and Clay as an example. Intellectually both men were great; morally both were undeveloped. Both drank exces- sively, gambled hard, and sustained relations not in eonsonanee with marriage VOWS. But in conceding their intellectual greatness we do not concede their intellectual supe- riority. Webster, Clay and their illustrious fellows shone so brilliant ly because the setting was bad. So many of their contemporaries were intensely small; and the masses had not reached the culture they possess today. Nor did Webster nor any of his associates distinguish them. selves in such adiversity of pursuits as have men who now sit in the Sen- ate, Henry Cabot Lodge is states
 man, a scholar and 8 successful author. Daniel of Virginia is an orator not inferior to any American that ever lived, barring Sar geant Smith Prentis. He is also the author of law book which is consulted by lawyers throughout the English speaking world; besides he was an able and daring soldier when but B youth. Morgan of Alabama has 8 wider grasp of our foreign relations and 3 more thorough training in in- ternational law than either Web ster, Clay or Calhoun. We could
 mention many other men both in the Senate and House who are the peers intellectually of any of the statesmen of the past, and their masters when it comes to moralities.

THE New Orleans Daily States says; "Gen. G. W. 0. Lee, who has just resigned the presidency of the Washington and Lee University, was the eldest son of R. K. Lee, and through his mother was direct de- scendant of George Washington's father"
 So much of the above paragraph as relates to Gen. c. ". c. Lees descent is an error. Gen. Lee has none of Washington's blood, though like most Of the old Virginia fami lies, he is of the same general strain of good English blood as the Wash tons. As every one knows, Wash ington was childless that the whole country might call him father" but he had two step-children, Nellie Gus tis aud John Custis, and the latter was Gen. c. ". c. (Custis) Lees grandfather, the father of Mary Gus tis aud the wife of Robert E. Lee.

OBSERVING the great struggle be- tween rival statesmen to secure the high political positions now at the disposal of the State Legislatures and the President-elect, we are deeply impressed with the words of the Virginia maiden when asked who was the nobest man she ever knew; ''I think she said, 'my brother Harry was the noblest man l ever knew; he served with the Virginia troops as private while but boy during the late war, and lost his leg and came home and took fathers place on the farm, father having died; and worked hard and took care of mother and us children and educated us all, refraining from marriage for our sakes, and at last met his death reseuing negro child from a burning house" A noble, unselfish life was that. indeedl No earthly honor can afford half the sweet satisfaction that will come to him who leads such clean, manly, self-saeridcing fife as won this sisters love and admiration. And we thank God it is life that every man can live.
