NEW POTATO DISEASE
APPEARS IN CANADA
Tubers Infected With Fungus in the
Form of Warts-May Spread to
United States

A new disease is threatening the potato
crop in this country. one that the De-
partment of Agriculture Is keeping visi-
liant watch to exclude. 1t has come 10
this continent from Europe and has now
appeared in Canada. Whether il will
cross the border or not it is impossible
to tell. 1t has already done great dam
age abroad, and 1t is feared that if it
spreads from England, where 1t now is.
to Ireland it will ruin the potato crop
and cause widespread suffering.
The disease is in the form of big warts
that appear all over the potatoes, de-
tracing at first from their value ami
later destroying them entirely II is in
the form of fungus that spreads in the
ground After 1t once gets a hold ii is
impossible to use the ground for potatoes
tor several years.
The blight first appeared in Hungary
In 1896 and spread thence to Germany
1t then crossed to England, and there
Is now fear that 1t may appear in Ire
land. If 1t does the results will be dis
astrous.
Canada imported the disease from Eng
land In seed potatoes, and. as there are
a great many seed potatoes imported to
this country, II is feared that il may
find entrance here. At present it is con-
fined to Newfoundland.

This statement, however, must be

states where aliens are allowed to cast

due to the laws of the state, and not
to any defect in federal legislation. 1t
rests with the authorities of those states

them into line with other states where
suffrage is confined to citizens of the
United States.

of the courts generally. The judges have
assumed that by the passage of the
new act Congress intends to make the
inquiry into the qualifications of petition
something more than mere perfume

law. They have accepted seriously the
final responsibility placed upon them OF
being satisfied by evidence that petit
TONERS are entitled to become citizens be-

of the courts have passed general rules
on the subject many OF them requiring
that petitioners shall inform themselves
of the elementary provisions of the Con-
stitution of the United States, and of
the state in which they petition, and
doubtless, since the operation of the new
law. as d consequence, there has been
more industry displayed by aliens in &C

of government than was exercised in
the aggregate during the whole preceding
century for a like purpose.
The result cannot be otherwise than
