Treatment Of the Seedlings when an Early
Crop Is DesIred.

Late tomatoes may be fairly paying
crop for the farmer who grows them
for canning factories by acres, but they
are not profitable any more for the mar.
ket gardener. The money for the latter
and the satisfaction for the amateur is
in the ripe fruit he can secure before

DISHONESTY DOESN'T PAY.

Does it pay to be dishonest: Is there
any reward in the life of an habitual
criminal that ought to induce him to
continue it? Does it return him as
much as honest labor would? For the
purpose Of comparison, let us suppose
the case of two men starting with equal
opportunities in life. The working
man gives honest labor for every dollar
he earns. He is respected in the COM
munity in which he lives, and if he be
sober. industrious and earnest in his
endeavor, he can save money from his
earnings, and in time get possession OF
a modest little home, marry good
woman, raise his family in comfort,
and can always be assured of shelter
for his old age. A criminal general
ly begins his career by committing
petty thefts. He graduates from the
Workhouse to the Reformatory, and
from the Reformatory to the Peniten-
tiary. Now, no Il, after how successful
he has been in his thieving, no matter
how great his gains may have been,
when he is sentenced to prison he
loses hundredfold more than he ever
gained. He is sentenced to term Of
years in prison at hard labor. He per-
haps loses five of the best years of his
life, and no amount of money can ever
compensate a man for that. He is
branded as a felon; his character is
ruined beyond redemption. He is sub
jected to the most severe discipline and
he must perform hard, disagreeable
tasks, and the work he is compelled to
do for the state, if done for himself at
current wages outside, would yield him
fair wages and good living. If, on the
day of his discharge, he were offered
ten times the amount of money he haC
ever gained by dishonest means to g(
through the same experience again, i:
it probable that ne would do SO? W.
think not. Putting aside the mora
aspect of the question altogether, an(
considering it as matter of profit ant
loss, is it not true that honesty is th
} best policy? G. RooK.

has had an apparently undeniable claim
to it. In that year she had the bound
ary defined, which extends to the
Schomburgk line, which encircles the
barren spot now so coveted by the
other government. Since gold has been
discovered in such abundant quanti-
ties, with the probability of yielding
two million dollars annually, the ques-
ton of right and legal possession be-
come Immediately involved, thus plac-
ing England in somewhat critical
position, as her claims were never
recognized by Venezuela, or specified
by any form of treaty. Hence the
United States has the advantage OF
coming to the front with her diplomacy,
and displaying the powers OF the Mon
roe doctrine, making it the backbone
of her position, the prospects of ar
bitration being apparently ignored.
Johnnie Bulls impertinent demand for
sixty thousand dollars as indemnity
| for alleged injustice committed on
British subjects. certainly appears as
though the demand was to be sustained
by more vigorous demonstrations. If
England was disinterested in the state
of affairs now existing in the East, and
could give her force and attention ii-
rectlv to the Venezuela matter, the
prospects for a repetition of 1872 and
thorough testing of the Monroe doe
trine could be anticipated. Buttaking
ali the present circumstances into con
sideration, it is practically impossible
for she has too many irons in the fire
} Furthermore she realizes that revision
of the tariff in connection with hel
commerce would be a disastrous re.
suit, for it is an item in itself by nc
means to be disregarded. She also has
highly developed respect for the in
dividual side of the question, and Ger
tainly we are not subdued subjects but
men. free and mighty, ready to resent
anything in the form of an insult t(
our country. t. a. +.
