The most common mistake in corn
growing is to delay cultivation too
long. 1t is not necessary to wait until
the corn Is large enough to see the
rows. Narrowing with little
drag will b-eak the crust that has
formed and admit air and warmth.
The soil at this season is cold, and
when covered by crust of hardened
earth it warns very slowly. II this
narrowing is done before the corn is up

being stirring kind of a woman,
planned all sorts of improvements about

others, the exclusion of the public from

The answer which the President has made
70 the pretended criticisms on his course in
going on yacht on the Potomac for Sun
day, to the effect that this is the only way
in which he can obtain seclusion and rest
is quoted and ampliied at length by our
esteemed cotemporary, the Philadelphia
Ledger. That journal, after gravely argu-
ing the harmlessaess of the Presidents
course in going upon the water and spend
ing a quiet Sunday, enlarges upon the
meanness of the party spirit which attacks
the Presidents personal course on such
slight grounds.
The esteemed Ledger would be quite right
in denouncing the meanness of partisanship
which could make the Presidents Sunday
rest matter of serious attack. Both the
President and our cotemporary mistake the
issue and do injustice to the American
press, if they regard the comments on these
points as to be taken seriously. We do not
believe any paper that has made these CON-
ments honestly objects to the Presidents
Sunday trips. But as certain persons VIII o
are supposed to be rather near the President
nave DCCu AZ tHc
same sort of recuperstion for the ordinary
people, the comments are made as a peril
nent, if somewhat pointed jest. on these who
turn blind eye to the Presidents method
of spending the Sabbath, but frown sternly
on exactly the same thing by common /
workers.
There are some millions of city workers
who have exactly the same need of Sunday
recuperation that the President has. Their
individuality may not have the same public
importance; but in the aggregate the need
is greater, while the circumstances Of those
who have to earn their daily bread by con-
slant labor in the great cities, makes it more
essential for them to get on the water or in
the fields during their one day of rest

A SETTLED QUESTION.

The rapid progress of the scale question
toward a settlement is shown by the fact
that the Amalgamated scale was signed by
fourteen mills yesterday. This practically
settles the question. While the signing of
other firms may be delayed for various rea-
sons, it is foregone conclusion that in all
the iron mills the scale for the next year
will be adopted without any dispute.
This, of course, means steady employment
for our rolling mills during the coming
year. Even at the close prices of the past
year Pittsburg'S iron mills could keep in
active operation. With the improving state
of the market, we have every reason to ex-
pect steady prosperity in she finished iron
industry during the next twelve months.
1t is to be wished that the steel industry
presented the same aspect of harmony The
one threatening point in Pittsburg's in
dustrial horizon is at Homestead; and
everyone will hope that the difference there
may be bridged over without strike.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA VERDICT.

The acquittal of McDow, the SLAYER of
Captain Dawson at Charleston, is the end
OF cause ceIebre, which follows the regular
rule of South Carolina criminal jurispru-
dence, that no white man is ever hanged
for murder. In this case there is ap-
parently better foundation for the result
than usual. The portion of the case about
which there is now dispute, is that Dawson
went to the house of Mellow to pursue q
quarrel, and the only testimony as to the
actual encounter-that of Mellow himself
asserts that he shot Dawson in self-defense.
However reprehensible the course of the
defendant may have been anterior to this
dispute, it did not debar him from the right
of defending himself when threatened with
violence. The conclusion of the jury ap-
pears to have been based on this statement
of the facts; and that ends the case before
the courts. But it remains to be seen
whether South Carolina customs will let
the case end with the verdict of a jury, or
whether they will not pursue the fatal quar-
rel after the manner of the vendetta.

TABLE ETIQUETTE FOR CHILDREN.


HERE are few good rules that can be safely
followed:
GIVE the child seat that shall be strictly
his own.
TEACH 1t TO take its seat quietly.
To use its napkin properly
To wait patiently to be served.
To answer promptly.
To say THANK you."
If asked to leave the table for a forgotten
article for any purpose to do so at once.
NEVER to interrupt and never to contradict.
NEVER to make remarks about the food,
such as II saw that turkey killed, and how he
did bleed" as once heard little boy remark
at a Thanksgiving dinner.
TEACH the child to keep his plate in order
NOT to handle the bread or to drop food on
the cloth and floor.
To always say Excuse me, please" to the
mother when at home, and to the lady or
hostess when visiting, If leaving the table be-
fore the rest of the party.
To fold its napkin and put back its chair or
push it close to the table before leaving.
APTER leaving the table not to return.
KNOW children who observe everyone of
these rules, and are in no way priggish. but are
simply well-behayed, delightful companions,
and they owe it all to their mothers careful
training from babyhood. Good Housekeep-
ing.

PITTSBURG'S DAY.

Yesterday was day to be marked with
white in the records of Pittsburg athletics.
The field day of the Brushton Cricket Club
has the claim upon public attention of be-
ing an exclusively amateur exhibition. All
the contestants engage in athletic sports
solely as recreation and the spractice of
hiring professional athletes to do their play
ing for them, is entirely absent from the
performances of that organization. While
the exact opposite is true of the baseball
games yesterday, the honor of Pittsburg is
nevertheless highly exalted. The glory of
having dOwned the Philadelphia team and
the glittering prospect that the home team
may rise to the height of fifth place has ex-
panded the baseball cranks so much as to
invest the project of widening our streets
with the character of an actual necessity.

STOPPING THE sPEAK-EAsIEs.
The sharp sentences by Judge Stowe yes
dav upon unlicensed liouor sellers should

The sharp sentences by Judge Stowe yes
terday upon unlicensed liquor sellers should
go far toward relieving the apprehensions
of those who thought with Judges Gordon
and White that the Supreme Court decision
in favor of wholesalers, bottlers and brew
ers throws open the doors to food of in
temperance and free liquor. The charming
unconventionality of the "speak-easy"
would, beyond doubt, attract hundreds into
that quiet business if only the laws were
dead. But Judge Stoves session yesterday
dispelled that brief illusion. = Heavy fines
and long terms of Imprisonment will quick
ly make "speak-easy" enterprises unattrac-
tive. With unlicensed selling sharply
stopped, it is not clear that the increase in
the number of wholesalers, or bottlers, or
brewers can work any material enlargement
of the traffic, or multiply disorder in the
consumption.
That the attitude Of the Quarter Sessions
yesterday upon violations of the Brooks
law will continue need not be doubted.
Taking into account with it the interest
which the licensed retailers have in antago-
nizing the competition of unlicensed places,
and the public desire that high license get
a full and fair trial, the "speak-easy" can
soon be accounted thing of the past.
