The New Onion Culture.

The new onion culture is becoming
so well known that it is almost a mis-
homer to call it new. The modern
method differs from the old in that the
seed is sown under glass in Februery
or March and the plants set in the open
ground about the LIST of NAV, cutting
back the tops and roots, too, if they are
long and putting them three inches
apart in the rows. The old way is to
plant seed in open field about April /,
rows about IA inches apart and thinning
plants to four inches. A heavy applica-
ton of barnyard manure gives better
results with onions than the more con-
centrated fertilizers

Milk is an excellent substitute for
soap in washing dishes. 1t not only
softens the hardest water and gives the
dishes clear, polished look, but it pre-
serves the hands from chapping. 1t also
prevents a greasy scum from appearing
on the top of the water. The quality
of milk to use is halfa cupful to dish
pan half full Of very hot water.

WOULD IT IMPROVE THINGS7

HE main argument relied upon by the pro
 motors of the proposed charter is expressed in
 the phrase, Well, the document Is an improve nent upon the present system" This the burden o the speeches made at charter meeting heid on Friday evening. The same idea runs through all the literature with which the advocates of the charter are flooding the city It is not contended that the instrument is perect-n fact some of its defects frankly admitted-but 1t is declared to be an i'm provement upon the present system, and on that ground the people are asked to vote for it.
 It may be doubted however whether this argu- ment be maintained As general thing 1t must be admitted that is better for the people to endure the evils with which they are familiar than to fly to uncertainties which may involve them in expense and trouble A sufficient number of legal questions has already been raised in connection with the proposed charter swamp the municipality in litigation There is nothing plain direct in the instrument. The tax system will undoubtedly prove failure. The street improvement system is of contradiction and ncongruities. All power has been taken from the legislative branch of the government and lodged in an official called Mayor. There IS no question whatever that this latter will result in multiplying abuses without number
 The charter is too long and too complex It IS not grant of power, surrounded with restrictions and capable of easy interpretation, the organic law of city should be- In many respects it conflicts with general laws, and portions of it will undoubtedly be declared unconstitutional. An attorney who was interviewed the other day concerning it expressed the opinion that more than half of would be annulled by the courts.
 If all this is true-and the charter promoters admit
 portion of i-can be considered wise to adopt the proposed instrument? We willing to concede that the present charter is about bad any that could be devised It has been made worse by mlng1ng general laws with special law system. But are we going to benefit ourselves by adopting charter which introduces entirely new methods of govern ment and which is to great extent experimental! l.! What reason have we for believing that this city abounds with who in the office of Mayor can be trusted to administer its entire government! Under the consolidation for forty years there has been practically stealing. Will the individual re- sponsibity system yield similar result?
 It is our opinion that the present is the time to go slow Better that hundred charters should be de- feated than that calculated to promote corrup- ton and put premium upon political combination and extravaganza should be adopted.

PATRIOTISM AND CRITICISM.

c ONE members of the Seventh Regiment of the Illinois National Guard who enlisted III the - Volunteer Army are reported to have been so discontented with the provisions made for their en- component have become quite outspoken ln the1r complaints Whereupon, according to the Inter Ocean Colonel Marcus Kavanagh said to the whole regiment: Any of the Seventh who doesn't like the way the War Department does business had better go back home at once. When once are enlisted we will belong to that department for two years, or until the end of the war We had best begin to like their style right off. The men who think they can't learn to like it should go home, and may God go with them"
 It is scarcely necessary to say the speech ceived with cheering It put an end to the com plants It silenced the fault finders in the ranks Since then the men of the Seventh Illinois, like their conrade volunteers of other regiments have accepted the War Department provisions with as much cheer fitness as they will accept its orders to march to battle whether the command takes them to Cuba or the Philippines That is the spirit of the American volunteer That is the quality which makes him the reliance of the nation in its hour ot need and enables the republic to meet whatever foe may come without fear of any lack of loyal hearts and strong arms to maintain her
 This unhestating readiness on the part of the vol unteers to accept without complaint the way the War Department does business imposes upon those III authority the responsibility of than ordinary care in providing for the troops. Where complaints permitted it is easy to discover abuses and to trace the cause of them but when every mans lip IS sealed by sense of patriotic devotion will be difficult tor those i'll command to find out when things go wrong. It was for that reason Napoleon encouraged his veterans to complain to him of the commissary and uuartermastcr departments. If his troops were not well fed or well equipped he wished to know it, and
 he owed much of his success in the fact that he did know it whenever it happened, and knew also how to provide remedy with prompness and effect. That the management of the business part ot the war has not been fully efficient is evident from what IS going on under eyes in San Francisco III the preparations made for sending troops to Manila The Call pointed out yesterday that the arrangements
 made for the transport of the volunteers the City of Picking were of such nature to constitute an outrage and that was by the only instance of abuse brought about by blundering or parsinony on the part of some one in authority.
 The volunteers will not complain Of these abuses, but the country will The hearts of the people are with the soldier boys. They know that true patriot
 ism does not consist in being silent when the brave men in arms are made to suffer by reason of neg gence or incompetency the part Of high officials They are aware that under such circumstances cr1t- cism is patriotism and will apply with patriotic
