Not peace. No. War to the death. Not the most

against corruption is to liking. 1t will make

call peace is the truce between victories. Peace

must be.
That city which INDUCES in complacency is vic

Killed Three Moose.

M. Loso of St. Joseph, came in this
afternoon from the Black Duck coun-
try and brought home with him bull
moose weighing over 1850 poands.
The animal is a giant bull moose, is
the finest specimen ever seen by the
Oldest residents hereabouts. A hand
some pair of antlers adorn the head
and the limbs are shapely and indi.
cate great strength. Mr.. Loso has
been camping with a party of friends
about six miles northeast of Black
Duck and last Saturday killed the big
fellow less than a quarter of mile
from cramp. He ran only a few yards
after being bored by the fatal bullet.
In the party were Mich. Loso, Peter
Weber, Martin Schroeder and Jos.
Schwegel of St. Joseph: and Peter
Loso and John Pesche of Black Duck.
They got two more moose, though
not as large as Mr.. LOsO's trophy,
and one was sent to-day to Wabasha.
Mr.. Loso will have his trophy
mounted and preserved. Aid. Andrew
Hennemann will do the work. The
animal weighed close to I, ZOO pounds
when first slaughtered.-St. Cloud

ENGLAND's POTATO CROP.
Worst Season for Twenty-Five Years-Co1
ditions Same as In Minnesota.

Worst Season for Twenty-Five Years-Con-
ditions Same as In Minnesota.
A Leeds, England, dispatch quotes
the Yorkshire Post as follows: To
find a parallel for the serious out
break of disease among the potato
crop we must go back to the black
years l877-79, or even to the years of
l872-73, when the Regent potato, from
which many growers had made their
fortunes, utterly failed. Never during
the last twenty-five years has disease
been so general among all classes of
the crops nor so universal in it's geo.
graphical distribution, and many
farmers in Southeast Yorkshire and
Lincolnshire are threatened with finan-
cial losses only equaled in the years
referred to. Some idea of the raw
ages of the disease may be gathered
from the fact that moderate calcula-
tlon, based on careful investigation
OF the two great potato districts of
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, is that at
least third of the total crop is ire
trievably ruined. Many merchants
put their estimates at one-half hope
lessly bad and fully third of the re-
mainder affected.
The disease appeared in the first in
stance early in August, and is de-
scribed by many growers as affecting
the potato haulm as if it were struck
by blight The tiny white specks
which first appeared spoke ominously
for the future of the crop, but no one
at that time anticipated so serious or
widespread a result. The continuous
rains, however, have helped the dis
ease to spread from the tops to the
eyes OF the tubers, where it quickly de-
velops. The longer the potatoes re-
manned in the ground the more the
disease extended. Some hope was
cherished at first that the disease
might be found to be only partial, but
as soon as ''lifting'' operations were
commenced it was found to be univer-
sal. Crops planted on high sand
lands have Jared best; the plight of
the farmers on the low-lying, strong
warp lands is pitiable indeed. The
better the quality the more susceptible
to disease would appear to be the les
son of the epidemic. The coarser kid
ney potatoes have made much better
fight, and those farmers who have
sown the secondary sorts-the long
and oval potatoes generally utilized
for ''chippers''-will have good cause
to be thankful; they will undoubtedly
reap a golden harvest

but rains and high water prevented
the farmers from working.
AS necessity is the mother-in-l law of
invention and causes a man to do
stunts he never imagined he could do,
the Cross Lake farmers have run out
their moving machines, hitched up
their teams, and with thankful "bet-
ter late than never" feeling, have
commenced haying on Cross Lakes
broad bosom of ice.
The hay will be cut whether the sun
shines or not. Up to date not a sim
gle hired man has complained of the
heat. The only thing that will stop
the newly inaugurated haying season
this time is a Dakota blizzard or ten
feet of snow.-Brainerd Dispatch.

The District Judgeship.


The attempt of some St. Cloud attor-
neys to fOrestall the action of the vot-
ers in regard to the district judgeship
appears likely to result in nothing
more than some warm endorsements of
Judge Baxter. The St. Cloud men,
chiefly Democratic attorneys, circu-
lated petition to request Judge Bax-
ter not to run again. It is evident
that if Republican from this end of
the district were chosen in place of
Judge Baxter this time there would be
a splendid opening for some St. Cloud
Democratic attorney next time. But
the bait has not been seized SO eagerly
as had been expected. One result of
the enterprise not calculated on by it's
promoters has been to stir up much
newspaper comment of nature highlv
complimentary to Judge Baxter.
Nearly evrey newspaper in the district
that has thus far referred to the matter
declares that politics and the iudici-
airy should be kept as far apart as
possible, and that Judge Baxter is
making a highly satisfactory and i'm
partial judge. The newspapers of
both parties are evidently sincere in
trying to retain a good man on the
bench, and to prevent an objection
able political scramble. If judge
Baxter can be induced to enter the
field he will find warm newspaper ad-
vocacy, and many votes from men of
all parties.-Wheelock's Weekly.

regulation to be made by the inter-

Mr.. Bede has also introduced a bill
making it the duty of the attorney gen

for articles of necessity, and a bill
making cigarettes imported into any
state subject to the laws of that state.

House Passes Bill and Senate Will Make
Haste With 1t.
The house last Thursday bv a ris-
ing vote of 1856 to 21 passed the bill to
make effective Cuban reciprocity. Dis
senting votes were about equally
divided between Republicans and
Democrats, but there was no record
vote, the minority having too few
votes to order the yeas and nays.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause
OF the Democratic side when he enter
tanned the appeal from his ruling
made by Mr.. Williams, the speaker
saying he preferred to err, if he erred
at all, in giving the house the right to
express it's will. The appeal as tabled
by a strict party vote.
The desire of the Republican man.
ayers in the senate is to get the bill
before that body as soon as possible
and let the opposition debate COM
mence. The Republicans will make
no speeches of length, and will con-
fine their remarks to brief explanation
of the bill.
Democratic senator's, at a caucus
decided to consider the Cuban bill on
its merits and confne the discussion
to the bill itself without bringing in
collateral questions. This means that
no tariff amendments will be offered
and that the tariff question will not be
discussed.
The attitude of the Democrats
means early action on the Cuban bill
and the prospects are for the final ad-
]ournment of the extra session this
week, with an agreement to vote
after week of debate in the regular
session if the Republicans make the
minority Such a nrOnoc;t;op

been for some time suspicion that
Dir. Moody, Secretary OF the Navy,
did not take in his department the in
terest to be expected OF him, but il
now transpires that Mr.. Moody has
been hardly free agent having been
obliged in numei Gus instances to fol-
low the dictation Of Presiden. as
against his own iuclinations. The
President is an ardent advocate of a
general staff for the navy, similar to
that just authorized by Congress for

company him on the cruise on the
