If tho potato crop of this country is ) threatened, as report is, then is tie ' prosperit' of the people threatened, and any available means to ward off j tlio damage will be welcomed. Every one will bo glad to hear that Buffalo Bill, who was reported recent-lv recent-lv as critically ill. has recovered. An: I other "farewell four' by him is about due ' The gold output of the Hand for ""fay was 794,306 fine ounces, of a value of $16,418,305. A pretty big product , for a single month, but not much more j than average.

But. how many ' of those ungodl livers would live god-ly god-ly lives at home? Tho State of New York has an an-' an-' mini budget of $50,000,000 and over. And yet complaint is uiadc that various public needs arc unprovided for. 'Twus , ever thus; no matter how much there . is there is always a demaud for more. A new- world liiigo is proposed, this to be called Yeltlnng. It contains .5000 words, which the inveutor says is all that anybody needs. Of these 5000, no less than 3000 are words in the English language. But with a showing like that why not make it all English? . President Wilson wants to semi' a ': Lamb John E. among the Mexican I wolves; but he can't quite figure how 1 to do it without recognizing the Iluer-ta Iluer-ta government. In tho meantime, our 1 present embassador to Mexico seems to ' have the complete confidence of Secre- tary Bryaus Uol. Wattorsoa speaks coutemptuous-( coutemptuous-( ly of the Wilsou-Undorwood tariff bill, .! and says that he could easily shoot it ; fuN of holes; but as it is the official ,! bill of a Democratic administration; bo jj is supporting it.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Missouri :j 'is about to spend $225,000 in road im-'' im-'' ;'provcment. A big amount has been '.. used to illustrate how not to do it, but this latest installment ought to produce results." But when this country spends H.' a million dollars for good roads it doesn.'t want to spend a cent on the f'how-not-to-do-it" basis. 1 The outrage upon James and Roy jCuuningham by a rebel band in Mext Co was so barbarous and cruel that one lean hardly speak of it with calmness. Men capable of such torturo and cxtor-iion cxtor-iion are .outlaws, who deserve nothing ' hut death on capture. It is evident that there may be limits to TJuclo Yarn's patience in regard to inhuman "disorders in Mexico; and that if the Mexican government is neither able to Suppress- the brigauds, nor willing to invite help to do it, then the correcting iand of civilization may have to be Invoked.
