They may be gatherd the same as
potatoes, put into pits or cellars and
fed when wanted. If intended as
feed for horses and cattle, they should
be dug in dry time, being careful
to have the tops all cut or eaten of

dried by the time digging begins. In
this way no dirt will adhere to them.
All kinds of stock will eat them in
preference to grain and will thrive
well all winter. They are not a fat

There is no news in the published
statement that the Commission to de-
eide upon a government for Hawaii
the members of which are now on
their way from Hawaii to Washington,
had settled upon the territorial form
of government for the islands. 1t is
quite well known in Washington thar
the matter was settled long before an
nexation was accomplished. AS long
as the islands remain under a terr1tor-
ial form of government there Is NOT
likely to be much trouble, but there
will be trouble, and lots of it, when
an atte1pt is made to admit them as
a State. 1t will be long time, if
ever, before the people of this coun.
try will be willing to see two Hawaiian
Senators and three Hawaiian Presi-
dental electors, who may at any time
hold the balance of power in the
Senate, or in the electoral college.
No better answer to the question OF
why there was such falling off in the
Republican majorities in Maine this
year has been heard in Washington
than that given by Mr.. R. F. Allen,
of Lewiston, who replied, when asked
the question "Some Republicans
didn't vote; others did-the Demo
cratic ticket"
Nothing could better illustrate the
existing fright of the Republicans
than the fact that Postmaster General
Smith and Webster Davis, Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, have gone
on stumping tours. Of late years it
has not been considered just the
proper thing for member of the
Cabinet to take the stump, even in
Presidential campaigns, and not since
Arthur's administration has one gone
on the stump in Congressional or
State campaign.
After many trials and many refusals
to serve, Mr.. Mckinley has got to
gether his commission to investigate
the War Department, and the work is
to begin right away. If Mr.. McKin-
ley had any doubts the public state
ments made TO Secretary Alger since
he started upon his carefully pre-
pared trip for inspection of camps
and hospitals, by high military offic-
ers, have convinced HIM that the COM
mission will not have much trouble to
locate personal responsibility for mis-
management, and worse. But will
they be punished when found guilty ?

An inventor has produced an electric
cane lamp. The handle of the cane
contains an incandescent lamp, the two
poles of which are connected with the
plates of q battery. Below this is q
small chamber to carry the battery
fluid. When 1t is desired to use the
lamp the cap is taken on and the cane
inclined, SO that the liquid 1t contains
comes in contact with the electrodes. A
current is thus produced that will, 1t ia

Frantic appeals are being made to
Mr.. Mckinley by the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
and by Republican candidates for
Congress for assistance in various
ways. The most pressure is probably
being brought to get the long-delayed
executive order, throwing down the
civil service bars to large number of
Federal positions, issued before the
Congressional elections. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has been told that the issuing
of that order within the next two or
three weeks will be worth many votes
to the Republican candidates for
Congress, because by promising those
positions many of those who were at
the last election Republican workers,
but who are now sulking, could be
got to work again. He is also being
urged to declare the Government
printing Office to be outside the civil
service law and rules. Mr.. McKin-
ley has been told that If he doesn't
do these things now, there will be no
occasion, so far as party politics are
concerned, for him to do them at all.
1t is doubtful whether he will do all
that he has been asked to do, but he
has lntimatei that he will do some
thing.
Boss Platt had conference with
Mr.. Mckinley this week, and there
are reasons to believe that he told
him that the Democrats had more
than fighting chance to carry New
York this year, and asked him to use
his influence with the Anti-Platt Re-
publicans. There was a report that
Mr.. Mckinley did not want Roose-
velt nominated for Governor by the
New York Republicans, but if he had
any idea of trying to throw "Teddy"
down in the convention, he gave it
up after talking with Boss Platt and
"Teddy" is going to be nominated.
While Mr.. Mckinley will 60 through
the form of throwing the administra-
ton influence to Roosevelt after he
is nominated, he would rather see
him defeated than elected. If he is
defeated he will be shelved for awhile;
if he is elected, he may become the
young Republicans candidate for the
Presidential nomination IN 1900.
A Wal Department Official is
quoted as having said of Secretary
Alger's trip of inspection: "Alger is
shrewd. During his swing around
the camps he will find any number of
men who will be willing to appear be-
fore the investigating committee to
testify that camp life had been one
long, sweet dream; that they had
been fed on the fat of the land; had
been provided with all the comforts
of home, and that they had never
seen any sickness, suffering, starvation
or dying. 1t is good thing to pick

II,orsunatc Mary WOIlstonecrnfs.
Conspicuous among the brilliant and
beautiful women of her time was the
lovely and every way unfortunate Mary
WOllstonecraft Goodwin, the first agita-
tor of the question Of woman rights. :"
No woman, with the exception of Nine.
de Stael, made so great an impression
On the public mi D.. Her new and
startling doctrines were seized with an
avidity scarcely credible at this day,
ard her famous book, 1.-The ViDdication
of the Rights of Women" was the
theme Of the most universal praise and
abuse.
Thomas Paine, the author of 1.-The
Rights of Man. was one of her ia
niliar acquaintance, but their inter
course was an argument, their views
neither on this subject nor any other
ccinciding. In these arguments Paine
either lost his temper or became sulky,
and the woman champion won an easy
victory.
Until her marriage with Mr.. Goodwin
she was the friend of Mrs. Siddons, but
she, with the majority of her admirers,
declined tc sanction this union, for she
had married some years before an
American called INLAY, to whom she
had been a most devoted wife. The
man, however, took advantage of the
fact that the marriage was only civil
one, performed in Paris, and deserted
her. She then married Mr.. Goodwin,
but this act placed her in position no
charity could explain away. Death,
however, soon covered her faults with
pitiful Oblivion. She left an infant
daughter few hours old. who after
ward became the wife of Percy Bysshe
Shelley.

Field and the street Arabs.

McClure's Magazine relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of Eugene Field, whose
fondness for children was his dominant
trait:
Never was a man moro devoted to his
wife. Nevertheless on the day that
made her his he was guilty of keeping
her waiting for him at the church. The
bridal party had assembled and were
rapidly becoming uneasy. At length,
after an anxious delay, some one went
out in search OF the missing bridegroom.
He was found on the street a short
distance away, down on his knees in
the mud, absorbed III settling q dispute
between two small street arabs, which
had arisen oven Il game of marbles. Lis
tening with eager interest to the testi-
mony vOciferated at either car by the
belligerent parties and their friends and
trying to evolve a peace compromise
out of very lively quarrel, he was abb
ruptly reminded that just then he had
something more important to attend to,
and fastened penitently away to make
his anxious bride Mrs. Field.

Twnin's Material For Stories.

In Berlin, when one pays his fare to
the conductor of street car, he receives
ticket, which is soon afterward col
lected by an inspector, who boards the
car at a fixed point. One day, just as a
joke, Mark Twain paid his fare Is
times on one trip, each time throwing
the ticket out of the window or under
his seat as soon as he had deposited the
regular fare with the conductor. A few
minutes later the inspector would get
on the car and demand tickets all
around. OF course Twain had none to
show and had to buy another, apparent
ly with reluctance. The performance
amused the American, dumfounded the
conductor, who had never met so reck-
less passenger, and tickled the native
passengers, who thought the foreigner
we'll punished for his negligence. By
this modest investment material was
obtained for a capital story, which net
