 My personal part in the fight was in the engine room. The hard part of this engagement was not the fighting part; that was all right, but it was in getting ready for it. 1 was thirty-two hours without relief or rest in the en- zine rooms of the Baltimore, the tenn perature varying from 120 to 160 de- grees. Since the fight we have eased down on work and are taking it easy. except for a strict watch. But it is intensely uncomfortable. The heat is terrific, standing steadily below decks at 95 degrees and on deck much higher in the daytime.
 Another thing that caused us much inconvenience during the fight and af- ter was that all our laundry was being washed at Hong Kong, and we were short of necessary underwear. We are as uncomfortable as Americans could be. The food is. of course. good, but it is all salt food. We are living on regular sailormen's fare, but we don't kick at that New York Sun.

SWEET POTATOES.

While there are a good many sweet potatoes raised in California, many farmers do not raise them for their own use as they might easily do. Many of our people are from the northern states. where sweet potatoes are not grown, and hardly know how to raise them. The usual methor of propagat- ing sweet potatoes is from sets The potatoes are planted in hotbeds made more or less warm according to cli- mate and exposure. If planted late in the spring in California with a south ern exposure no manure would be ab-
 aolutely required. The soil, however,
 must be kept warm, and on account of
 maintaining heat during the night,
 manure is probably desirable even in
 warm weather, the beds being kept
 open during the day and perhaps
 shaded. Three or four inches of sand
 or soil should be placed over the ma nure and the potatoes planted and cov- cred about an inch deep. Small pota- toes may be used When the sets are four inches high they should be gently detached from the potato and planted in the garden or field New shoots will then come on, two or three crops of sets being gathered from a single planting. The first crop shouIu be ready in about six weeks 1Irer plant ing but must not be transplanted un- til the weather is warm. Cold weather does not agree with the sweet potato. and frost makes an end of them If the sets come on before the weather is warm they may be put out in a pro tected place. The soil must be sandy or light loam. The plant will not do well in heavy clay. In the southern states the. sets are planted on ridges but in California ridges would dry out where irrigation is not practiced. The ground must be in good condition, sui nciently moist to induce growth, but not wet.-San Francisco Chronicle.
 The Republican would like to hear from Arizona growers as to successful methods here. Why should we import so many of these toothsome tubers? Raise them and keep the money at home.

The above splendid showing is made from crops not twO-thirds matured They show in comparison with the crops in California and New Mexico upon either side of us, higher average results than there obtained, proving the adaptability of Arizona soil and climate and it's superiority for this crop with the certainty of profitable remuneration to those who engage therein.
 The Republican will from week to week closely follow and report upon
 these experiments and also give de- tailed particulars as to the best meth Iods for realizing profitable results.

 Our way is to dry the COW up six or | eight weeks before she is due to calve
 unless she is such a persistent milker
 as to make that impracticable; at the same time reduce .her feed by taking
 nearly if not quite all the grain from her. Her bowels should be kept loose If the COW is in flush pasture and she is one you have reason to believe likely
 to have milk fever, the only safe way 70 do would be to keep her up on dry feed. We know it is hard for the man who has been in the habit of baby ing and betting his cows and feeding them to their full capacity to refuse them all they want to eat, but it is the
 only safe way to do with some of them. After COW has had milk fever once she is more liable than other cows to have it again, and if she does have it
 second time she will be almost sure to die.-Hord's Dairyman.

DOODLE ALDERMEN
May Be Victims Of Lynch Law in
Chicago Soon.

Chicago, Dec. Ten mass meetings
have been called to protest against the
passage of the street railway franchise
extension ordinance. Threats of hanging
have been made against several "gang''
aldermen. Mayor Harrison says:
at is not idle talk at all, and l will not
be surprised to see some hanging done in
the streets of Chicago. don't mind say
ing, too, that / shall not send in a riot call
when it starts"
This advertisement appeared in the
morning papers:
"Wanted-Ten thousand strong -limbed,
fearless men. Apply at the city council
chamber, with ropes, on the night the
aldermen attempt to pass the fifty-year
franchise robbery. Come prepared to do
business"
Mayor Harrison expects to speak at all
the mass meetings. He is making a strong
fight against the boodlers.
A form of expressing the popular feeling
is being seen in little slip knots of twine
worn in the buttonholes of the coats of
many business men. These are supposed
to represent hangmen' S nooses and to in
dicate that the people of Chicago may
adopt the Cleveland method of dealing
with Doodle aldermen, which was. "buy a
rope"

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can not
get better price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price, the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale, they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is best
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale in Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy The people
having been using it for years and found
that it can always be depended upon
They may occasionally take up with some
fashionable novelty put forth with exag-
Grated claims, but are certain to return

liable, and for coughs, colds and Group

IMPROVING OUR CITIZENSHIP.

The greatest good we are to find through
municipal ownership will be found in the
improved quality of our citizenship. Not,
however, because, as it is popularity pro-
claimed, mans value to the State is
measured by this property possession,
but because of the family feeling and
truly patriotic sentiment, the love of
country, which is love of our fellow-me
that will be awakened in the man s breast
by the contemplation of the fact that he
is member Of a family who own their
own streets, who own their own bridges,
who own their own waterworks, who own
their own electric lighting plant, who own
their own telephone and express and mes
senger service; member of family
who owns and does everything for the
family that can, by any possibility, be
better done by collective than by private
effort. And whenever the feeling is once
awakened that this is our city, that this is
our country, then man becomes, in the
sense of the word, citizen who loves his
country. This feeling will be wonderfully
enhanced as the city goes forward in the
work of municipal ownership. The people
will learn that they can serve themselves
better without profit than corporation
can serve them with profit as an incentive
for their effort.
In the parks and public Fairgrounds in
Glasgow l saw neat porcelain signs with
the inscription "Citizens, protect your
property" and when my eyes first fell
upon that inscription l confess to such
feeling Of delight as never before ex-
perienced through looking at dumb sign
board. 1t was in such striking contrast
to the boss idea expressed in the order
"Keep Off the Grass" thing that never
should be used except by the man who
hangs upon his premises that other ini-

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

y pretty little political story is sent to
the Chicago Chronicle from Washington
| by Congressman lIinrichsen, of Illinois,
and it deals with the meaning of the recent
visit of Mr.. Richard Croker, the Tammany
chief. to Chicago, where he had confer
ence with Mayor Harrison of that city. II
is said that the New York Democrats are
anxious to elect Il president in 1900 and
they are also anxious that the one elected
shall not be Col. Wm J. BRYAN, of Ne
braska In looking around for man with
whom Bryan could be beaten in the Dem
ocratic national convention and who could
afterwrad defeat Mckinley in the presi-
Dental election they very naturally thought
of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila. and
a member of that sturdy little band of
Vermont Democrats, who in spite of sue
cesslve defeats for thirty years, never finch
from fight, but on the contrary. are al
ways ready when time is called.
The story goes that ". G. Whitney dis
patched trusted messenger to Manila to
interview the admiral on the subject. The
messenger returned with Il satisfactory
report as to Dewey's politics, and his
promise to accept the nomination for presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket on any
platform which the convention might
adopt. Having secured the candidate.
the next move was to select some one for
second place on the ticket whose candidacy
would not only bring as many delegates rs
possible, but would naturally be for Bryan
Illinois being the largest State favorable
to Bryan denomination, was selected as
the best field for work, and so Mr. Croker
went to Chicago, for his health, as he said
Mayor Harrison was induced to call on
him socially, and the mysterious interview
between these great leaders took place.
Washington gossip has it that Mr.. |
Croker, with an eye to the electoral vote
of Illinois, urged Mayor Harrison to so ar
range his political fences as to prepare for |
the acceptance of the Democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency. The nature |
Of Mr.. Harrison reply is not known, but
his friends are confident that he demurred !
to the proposition to allow his name to be
mentioned for the second place on the
national Democratic ticket, because in the
event that his party is united for the battle
n 1900, which is now regarded as Ger
AMY, his ambition is to be Il candidate |
or the governorship of Illinois, an office
which i'll his estimation, is far preferable
% that of vice president of the United |
States.
The fact cannot be disputed, however,
whether the Washington story be true or
alse, that there is Il very strong current
It the present time in favor of Dewey for
President in 1900 The Boston Herald

Huntsville, Ala, Nov. 2S.-Private
Lindsay T. Holt. Troop F. Tenth Cavalry,
was sentenced to death to-day for murder
ing Private Twisby, of the same regiment.
The crime for which Holt will pay his life
was committed one Sunday morning at
Montauk Point, just after tho cavalry
division returned from Santiago.
According to the evidence, Holt bor-
rowed quarter from Twisby at Santiago,
but, instead of getting a silver coin,
Twisby gave him five dollar gold piece.
The two did not meet again until the reg
iment reached Montauk Point.
Holt admitted owing Twisby twenty We
cent?, but denied that he received $5 by
mistake. Hot words followed, and Holt
shot his comrade dead
The details of the death sentence by
court-marshal provide that Holt shall be
shot by the provost guard, under the di-
rection of the Provost Marshal, at such
time and place as may hereafter be des-
ignated by the general commanding the
cavalry division. They also suspend the
execution awaiting the submission of the
papers to President Mckinley for such ac-
tion as he may deem proper.
Holt is heavily guarded and has been in
irons since the deed was committed.
