PROSECUTING GAME Law vIoLAroRs.

new law enacted by the last con-
gress thru the efforts of Congressman
Lacey is to have trial of its effective
ness in Des Moines. This law amends
the Interstate commerce statute and
makes it an offense to ship game killed
in violation of law from one state 10 an
other. The minimum penalty provided
is of 5000 and costs, which seems quite
severe, but the offense is one that may
be carried on with much less risk of de-
lection than selling in the home market,
and it is one too of an aggravating
character.
The guilty party, as alleged is a farm
er named William waggorer, who lives
near Vandalia, Polk county, and who
was arrested Wednesday. on warrant
sworn out by State Game Warden
George Lincoln, charging him with ship
ping quail out of the state in violation
of the state game laws. The case when
taken UP and disposed of under state
law, will in all probability be followed
up with prosecution under the United
States court for violation of the inter-
state commerce law as above indi-
Gated.
1t is charged that Waggoner shipped
ten quail to a Chicago commission house
last January. 1t is further stated thatsa
box containing forty-four quail found in
Chicago commission house was traced
to him. They We're billed as rabbits.
1t is provided by our statute that a
case can be made for each bird shipped
and the penalty fixed is $40 a bird, but
Warden Lincoln thinks ten counts viii
be sufficient.
The case is important in that it will
provide an example for other stealthy
law-breakers, if the offense is prose
cuted as Indicated Our own state
statutes make it an offense for killing OF
sharing or shipping such game birds
and they also make it unlawful for a
railway or express company TO ship
such game, the minimum penalty being
$l0O. 1t is encouraging to see deter
mination upon the part of the state
warden to punish offenders

THE CONVENTION AND TICKET.

The ticket nominated is an unusually
strong one, composed of clean and able
men. Hon. A. B. Cummins. who heads
and brainy men of the state, and under
his leadership the party will win most
magnificent victory.

Having faith in the high and far

that the same faith and the same mo-

inc republican is called upon at this
time, or any other time, to partake of a
certain unpalatable dish we have heard
of but never tasted, while standing per-

l.canism, may be allowed to pass as a

Whatever we have expressed as to our
fears in connection with the action of
the state convention is not now in dis
cussion; we leave them to the future,
and if they shall prove to have been
groundless we shall be happy, indeed.
[Fort Dodge Messenger.1
Some people were afraid to have Mr..
Cummins made governor lest he might
stand on the pedestal and reach for
something higher and by the use of the
prestige and patronage of the Office
make himself a dangerous rival of 9TH
ers for the senatorship. The Messenger
has never considered that a worthy
ground of opposition. We are confident
that the present senator's need no pro-
lection against rival aspirants, and the
succession to the present incumbents is
too far away to run the politics of the
state wholly to that end. Anybody who
saw Senator Allison at Cedar Rapids
would have been impressed that 1t was
early to plan for his place.
The people of Iowa settled the gov
ernorship without reference to Its bear.
ing upon the future or upon any other
office. Among the candidates before
them they preferred to take Mr.. Cum.
minis for governor. His personal ac.
quaintance, his popular service upon the
stump, the knowledge that he had un.
usual qualifications to grace the posi-
tion. and finally the feeling after his de.
feat for the senatorship that he and his
large following were entitled to thii
recognition. were the Influences thai

Po1AIQ CROP REDUCTION

People in the west are pretty general
ly Informed of the shortage in the pota-
to crop in their respective localities, yet
the yare not so fully advised of condi-
tions in other localities. There is a lin
gering hope among them that other
states and sections may in measure
supply the shortage, for general fail
ure of this crop means a great. deal to
poor people.
1t is feared that the east is not in
much better shape than the west. From
central Maine comes the statement that
mot a half crop of potatoes" will be
raised. In New Hampshire. from pres
ent indications, the crop of potatoes will
be small, altho there are exceptions. The
growth Of vines is vigorous, while tubera
are small and few in numbers In west
ern New York, from one locality. and
presumably it represents others, the re-
port is that early potato tops make a
better showing than tubers and it is
feared late potatoes will show the same
failing. 1t is fair to assume that other
states OF the east are in similar condi-
ton.
The government crop report Of August
LIST showed the estimate of the potato
crop for the entire country to be 62.3 per
cent, or a prospect of more than half a
crop. Whether later reports will con-

York Sun says:
II the reports from various parts of
United States, notably from New Eng
land and the south, are trustworthy,
the people of this country may soon
have to economic in the use of pota-
toes or pay extravagant prices for
them. 1t is alleged that the southern
potato crop this year is failure, that
the western yield is poor, and that
turnout the middle west and in all the
states north OF Maryland the crop is
much below the average.
Indeed, of all the states prominent
as potato growers, Maryland appears
to be the only one expected to main
tain its average of former years. 1t
has been estimated that the total po-
tato crop of the country for 1901 will
not yield over 1O0,000.00O bushels, or
about one-half the quantity of other
years. OF course those figures repre-

reports similar to these regarding a
scarcity of potatoes may be inclined to
ldiscredit those now current; but the
prices quoted for the staple in several
cities of the union tend to show that
the foregoing statements are, at least,
approximately correct. In a single day
of last week the price of potatoes in
Providence jumped from SO to $3.75 per
barrel as the result of a large purchase
by dealers in Massachusetts, where the
price per barrel had reached Sc. On the
day following this deal potatoes sold in
Rhode Island at $3.50 per barrel and
SLIGO a bushel.
The market for this vegetable has
advanced no less strikingly in other
places. In New York the wholesale
price per barrel for Long Island pota-
toes ranging from So to "a, with strong
tendency upward; in Chicago and
Cleveland it is from $3.50 to 81; in
Pittsburg from $3.50 to $4.75, while the
about Buffalo are such as almost to
incline intending visitors to the expo
sition to carry a limited supply of pota-
toes for personal use.

ditions turnout the regions where the
yield is most affected have been unfav-
orable to a good crop. These adverse
conditions appear to have extended
over a vast area, which includes not
only large section of the United
States, but also parts of Canada which,
hitherto, have produced this vegetable
in abundance. Briefly. excessive heat
and not enough rain when needed seem
to have put the crop in bad way:
and strangely enough, no blame what
ever has fallen on the potato bug, de-
spite the fact that for several weeks
past the little fellow has been eN-
tremelyly active.
1t is possible, therefore. that, instead
of exporting large quantities of pota-
toes, as in former years. we shall be
forced to seek foreign markets for
enough of the article to supply our own
tables. The reports of this years crop
lin Ireland are exceedingly encouraging,
and if 'Pommes de terre irlandasies'
is inscribed generally on our menus

ONE OF MANY ENDORSEMENTS.

The cheerfulness with which repub-
lican papers are wheeling into line is
highly encouraging. The Jefferson Bee,
one of the influential republican papers
of Iowa, which vigorously opposed A. B..
Cummins in the senatorial contest in
1885, and which was regarded as against
Cummins during the recent canvass,
says today in its leading editorial:
ment it is inevitable that there shall be
victory and defeat for many 1t is also
noteworthy and highly creditable fact
that in America the proposition that the
majority shall rule is accepted with
practical unanimty. With ballast of
this sort of public sentiment the ship of
state will forever ride safely, tho an
noying squalls, of minor Importance,
will doubtless always beset the good
ship.
The past three or four months have
witnessed stupendous struggle in Iowa
s,..long political forces representing po-
litical candidates and alleged factions.
The contest terminated last Wednesday
in the selection of Mr.. A. B. Cummins
of Des Moines, as stanadrd bearer fol-
! the party whose shibboleth is republic
| anisnl. Mr.. Cummins, at republican
convention, representing the entire peo-
pie of the state, received more votes
than all other candidates combined. The
logical and natural inference from such
a vote is that majority of the republic
ans of Iowa desire that Mr.. CUMMING

The total receipts of the postoffice
department, barring the money order
business, will reach at least $1110 600
in round numbers for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901. This will be an in
crease over the receipts of the proceed
ing year of nearly $9,000,00O." This is
the way in which Mr.. Henry A. Castle,
auditor of the postoffice department,
sized up the business of the year and
strongest arguments as to the prosper
Gus condition existing in the United
States during the past year. The growth
of the postotfice business is indicated by
the fact that the total receipts in 1890
