 Summary; Ghe experiments abovC described show the following advan tages of starting onion-sced in flats with heat, and transplanting the seedlings tc the field.
 l. This method jnsures a clean crot even upon smutty land.
 ,, Yransplauted onions are less liable 10 the attacks of cut worms than onions sown in the field.
 3. The crop natures earlier by three pr four weeks.
 1. The crop is larger by an average ot 30 per cent, or more with native varie. ties, and the average increase with large foreign varieties may exceed 100 per cent.
 }. The individual bulbs are larger and uature more evenly.
 6. The increase in the size and quality Of the crop, the earlier ripcning, and the .)cssencd expense incident to the care Of the plants after transplanting, offset in a measure the cost and labor of raising and transplanting the seedlings.
 :, ThIs method may be applied with certain profit wherever it has been the custom to grow onions from sets upon smutty land, or in small quantities for home use or small sales.
 $, Several observers state that this method is applicable on large con- mercial scale.

 rows, each 10 feet long, immediately ad- joining but at right angles to the trans planted rows. At the time of trans planting the plants from seed were two inches high. Both lots received the same care and treatment throughout the season except for the less wedding re- qnired by the transplanted rows. The fifty feet of transplantcd onions yielded two bushels and one peck of bulbs, while the 100 feet of onions from seed yielded only two bushels, a gain iu favor of the former of 100 per cent. The u- dividual bulbs also showed marked difference in size, the smallest of the trangrlantcd bulbs being larger than the
 largest bulb from seed. Two of the
 largest of each kind were brought to

 were much fewer scallions among the

But what if there be no peace! On that fatelul
Sunday after the attack on Sumter Wha' pa

commensurate with that: Or what if the poll

cyplcitlv arrays itself against The moral law
and against those principles of faith and right
eousncss which are most cherished by all good
men and women in the world.
Let lis begin with the Ten Commandments.

beginning to end has been marked with such
q food of blasphcmy. of taking Gods name in

those four Commandments. Is not that fit

MORAL ISSUES INTOLVED.

Sunday is the weekly rest day. Ii Is also 10
large majority Of people day set apart for re-
ligiolis worship and the teaching or mor"ii'!
on this Sunday the last before the elect'oh'
Is most fitting that the moral questions involved
in the election should engage the Thought OF
every good citizen. 4 vote Is always sacred
function. 1t Is the discharge Of a duty that AZ
fccis not only the voter himself. but the whole
country No act in a mans life should De per
formed with greater sense Of responsibility
for by it each citizen is doing something either
TO rctard or promote the welfare Of the people
at large.
But if this can be said Of the franchise when
the only issues are questions as to which there
may he an honest difference of opinion, what
shall we say of 1t at this coming election. when
the fundamental ISSUES are purely moral! Is
this Nation going to approve dishonesty: AT
bottom that is the question that must be settled
AT the polls on Tuesday The Chicago platform,
which Mr. Bryan says he will carry out If he Is
elected declares for Il policy that would ehaDie
every debtor to pay his debts in deprecated
coin-in other words, to pay 30 cents on the dol
lar and demand n receipt in full. 1t contains
other vicious and immoral features. such as the
attack on the Supreme Court and the dcnunca-
ton of the Presidents right to suppress lawless
violence. But its plea for dishonesty Is cx-
pressed in more clear and concrete terms than
its appeal to lawlessness And therefore the
people in general have come to understand II
better.
In bringing out this Issue Of honesty against
dishonesty the clergy Of all the churches have
performed great service to the Nation. As In
the dark days Of the War, the pulpit has shown
that true religion means true patriotism. The
clergy have not been kept from denouncing the
iriquities of the Chicago platform by the hypo
critical cry that they ought TO preach the Cos
pei SO they ought, but the best preaching OF
the Gospel Is that built on the moral law which
Christ came not TO destroy. but to bind more
firmly than ever before on the hearts and con-
sciences Of men. When the clergy forget to de-
nounce dishonesty and lawlcssness they will
cease to be followers Of their Master.
But they have not thus been false to their
duty They have no. forgotten that righteous
ness and righteousness alone. "exateh a ma
