Portland has just borro wed a hundred
thousand dollars at two per cent on a
temporary loan. Yet Portland, like
Lewiston, technically is IN defiance of
the constitution. having several hundred
thousand dollars debt in excess of her
five per cent limir. What does this
show?-Lewiston Journal.
The principal thing that this shows
is that our esteemed contemporary has
forgotten one of the provisions of the
amendment limiting municipal debt.
After the prohibition Of borrowing in ex-
cess of five per cent OF valuation is this
proviso:
Provided, however, that the, adoption
of this article shall not be construed as
applying to any fund received in trust
by said city or town, nor of any loan
for the purpose OF renewing existing
loans, or for war, or to temporary loans
TO be paid out of money raised by taxa
ton, during the year in which they are
made.
The order for this loan recites that it
is for the purpose OF renewing an exist
ing loan.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY so.

Representative Merrill's plan of set
fling the burning question of how to
supply municipalities with alcoholic
liquors for sickness seems to be the sim
nlest and most economical yet advanced.
He proposes to allow the municipalities
to buy it themselves from the whole
salers. The only objection to the plan
is that it does not supply fat Office for
some worthy citizen, inasmuch as it
does away withsa state agency; but per-
haps that is not fatal defect.

WlNTERlNG SEED POTATOES.

Prevent Untimeiy Growth and Use the
Very Firss Sprouts For Best Results.
The yield Of potatoes depends in far
greater measure than is generally sup
posed on the condition Of the seed at
planting time. Experience has proysd
that the first crop of sprouts gives tee
best yield and can be depended upon
even when detached from the mother
tuber and planted out without the sup
port of potato pieces, doing far better
shan a secondary or belated crop Of
sprouts, even with the help of portions
Of the already weakened tuber.
The proper preservation of seed pota-
toes, in short, is of the utmost impor-
Gance We must take pains to prevent
their untimely growth. What we want
and must have for best results is the
proper use of the very first sprouts, which
invariably are the strongest and most
Reliable. Ordinary cellars keep potatoes
Of all kinds quite we'll during winter,
but become too warm when spring ap-
breaches. The consequence is that the
potatoes begin to sprout long before it
Is time to plant them, and that the yield
from such seed will be greatly reduced.
The danger is especially great where po-
Fatoes are stored in deep bins or barrels.
American Gardening says:
We aim TO keep the temperature in
The cellar just as little as possible above
bhe freezing point. But when spring ap-
breaches and the cellar temperature rises
aigh enough to make us fear that the
potatoes will sprout we spread all that
are intended for seed out in shallow
bins, admitting some light, but keeping
temperature still as low as is praotica-
BILE. Our Carman No. seed potatoes
will be spread out thinly on shelves not
sater than in February. In March we
usually take our Early Ohio seed pota-
Toes out and stand them in single layer.
seed end up, together in shallow boxes.
When planted out in April, one medium
sized whole tuber, or one-half of a larger
one to the hill, they start promptly into
vigorous growth and give us an early
and usually satisfactory crop Part OF
our Ohios last year were simply spread
out under the greenhouse benches. A
few of them, lying directly upon damp
soil, produced strong sprouts, 6 to II
inches long, these sprouts taking firm
root in the ground. Pulled up and plant
cd out in the trenches with the ordinary
seed, they gave us the earliest, strongest
and best yielding plants.
For keeping large quantities of seed
potatoes where there are no special cold
storage facilities a modification of the
old pitting method is safe.

The Brooklyn strikers have formally
acknowledged that they are beaten, and
many of them are returning to work.
This is another illustration OF the hope
lessnesns of strikes at this time when
the number of men out of employment
far exceeds the opportunities for labor.
The Brooklyn strikers had some very
genuine grievances and doubtless public
sympathy was with them up 80 the time
at least that they became turbulent.
But the strike was really beaten before
that time for a resort to violence is all
ways confession of defeat. SO that pub
lie sympathy was not potent enough to
overcom the advantages which the COR
porations had by reason of the great
abundance of unemployed labor.

TALKS OF RACING MATTERS.
IF THE OWNERS OF GOOD HORSES
ABOUT FORT WORTH WILL GET
UP AN EXHIBITION IT WILL
HELP TO Oct UP A RACING AS
ISOLATION AND FALL MEETING.

D. o. Lively. editor Of the Texas
Stock and Farm Journal. and one
thoroughly Informed as to the live
Etook interests OF Fort Worth and
vicinity. said yesterday:
Fort worth il the best town in the
state In which to hold race meeting.
and l cannot understand why an asso-
citation OF this kind has not been
formed. However, 1t is too late now
for meeting to be held this spring,
and 1 would suggest and intend to
forward as much as possible n first
class horse-show to be held here with
in few months. / ind interest in
graded and even blooded horses among
citizens here to be as great or greater
than ever before. There are quite q
number Of line horses here, and II will
be greatly to the advantage OF their
owners to work up n show Of the kind
! suggest,
There is nothing like something on
the order OF this TO incite interest in
horsenesh. | was reading only n few
days since how a town in one Of the
Western states got up a horsc-show
that led TO 1t rapidly becoming the
confer Of Interest In horses for ali that
part OF Tue STATE W q cannot expect
10 have n racing association unless we
do something to arouse interest In that
direction. Lexington, Ky, wouldn't
be the hub OF the racing world unless
It's citizens talked horse and worked
20 that end. Fort Worth has enough
natural advantages and there are
plenty of good horses In its territory
TO make IT famous In turf annals.
There Is nothing that win lead to this
end, the first step being the formation
of an association, quicker than what |
have suggested. All the prominent
horsemen about here agree with me
In this, Mr.. Maddox and many others
are enthusiastic supporters OF the plan,
and hope TO soon see 1t accomplished.
! trust and believe that Wen have
race meeting next fan that will be
the pride of the state and source of
lasting bcnent to Fort Worth.
III good horsc-show is had to begin
with It VIII be n long step In the right
direction owners OF good stock can
readily afford to take this matter up.
