and closed at the ends. SiX-inch flower
pots are cemented on at intervals of
seven or eight feet, connecting with the
bore of the tile, into which the water is
poured when needed. The water must
pass through the porous sides of the
tiles into the soil, which is filled into the
bench in the usual manner.
Another method, which proves fully
as effective under trial is to cover the
bottom of the cemented bench with two
inches or more of broken pots and
bricks, which are then covered with
burlap. The soil is then put in place,
and water admitted to the stratum of
potsherds as the soil becomes dry.
Where radishes are grown, the yield of
marketable roots is about Is per cent.

about the same, but larger number of

diseased roots is also much greater.
The number of roots injured by milli-
pedes, or thousand-legged worms, is
greater under sub-irrigation, but not

In twenty-five years the size of steam

recently steamed into New York, is longer
and much faster and much better in every
other respect than the Great Eastern was.
I'm equipment and power the Oceanic is
immeasurably superior to the Great East

What of the future? Is the screw steam

at each leap increased tonnage capacity, in
the next twenty-five years as it has been in
the past twenty-five years? If so, there
will then be steamers one-quarter of a mile

HON. JoHS W. roMLINsoN

From the Culman Tribune-GaZette
Hon. John w Tomlinson, candidate for
Governor, spoke here today. In his ar
ragnment of the trusts he brought home
the question when he showed how the
school book trust was robbing the school
children of Alabama while hypocritically
prating about educating the people of dis
tant islands. He expressed the sentiments
of his hearers also when he declared he
favored trade but not political expansion.
The $40, 0O0 900 paid Spain for the Philippines
would have opened tde water highways of
Alabama for commerce. We could with
more money manufacture our iron and
cotton and after supplying an increased
home demand ship the surplus over these
highways and our railroads and from our
own seaport cities to the uttecmost parts
of the earth. The Republican party could
have avoided the war in the Philippines
by declaring the same policy as that pre-
scribed for Cuba and could now stop that
war by uttering the one word liberty"
Who doubts that we could get everything
we wanted in the Philippines in the way
of trade by treaty? The war is but an
excuse for standing army so that the
monopolies that are being fostered, when
the people complain, may be backed by
baVonets.

DEWEY TUE WHITE HOUSE

From the Philadelphia Times, Qnd)
We don't believe that Admiral Dewey
wants to be president but General Taylor
was equally averse to it and so was Gem
eral Grant ard both accepted careful
study of phe history of public men of the
republic fails to discover a single man who
ever refused the presidency of the United
reach and Admiral Dewey isn't the one
exception to the hitherto universal rule.
If called to the presidency he couldn't re-
fuse it and if nominated by either party
without platform he would sweep the
country like a hurricane.
1t is possible that the Republicans may
nominate Dewey. If when the Republican
national convention shall meet, reasonable
apprehensions are felt as to the success
of Mckinley, the business interests of the
country would be potent in debating
nomination that couldn't be defeated by
Bryanism and the one man they would
turn to would be Dewey. If President Nc
Kinley shall be renominated by that con-
vention it would mean that his election is
assured against any direct Democratic as
sault upon the ticket and the patriotic
policy of the nation; but Dewey nominated
without a platform would be peril to
national credit, to business interests or to
tae progressive civilization that the Span
ish war has opened for the great republic
of the world

DR.. Cunningham evidently foresees a
movement in this state similar to the
movements in Mississippi, Louisiana, South
Carolina and North Carolina. He sees
similar conditions in this state, and he evil
IDENTIFY thinks a similar remedy will sooner
or later be applied. He Is looking beyond
the cliques and personal ambitions of the
hour to the time when all white men will
come together for the purpose of securing
in every section of the state the peace
and contentment that flow from a fair ball
lot and an honest count. He draws away
from the dirty pools of the present, hoping
for unmuddied waters in the future The
hour he looks for will come. The state win
not much longer be content to be the scene
of ballot-box methods that are demoraliz-
ing to the last degree-that lead to untold
corruption, and that are a stain upon the
state. DR.. Cunningham appeals from
Philip drunk to Philip sober, and his APP
peal will yet have its day in court.

SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT

From the Utica Press.
The Dewey fund must do all its growing
very soon, for the admiral will be here
shortly and then the money will be turned
over to him. The report published Satur-
day morning showed that thus far the peo-
pie have contributed little over $27 900.
1t is estimated that at least $4,000 should
be received to purchase in Washington
such a house as would be becoming a man
of Dewey's prominence. He has already
signifed his Willingness to accept the gift
and since the enterprise has been UNDER
taken it should be made successful by
bringing the total up to a figure common

Yellow Fever in unsewered towns.

Although "kllling" frosts will probably
not occur in less than months time, yet 1T
is exceedingly improbable that the disease
will spread far from the three foci Jack
son, Mississippi City and New Orleans.
There will probably be plenty of fever at
the three places until killing frost oe-
ours. but the lateness of the fever season
does not admit of the formation of new
fever centers. There may be a case Cur
Two here and there, but not new center
infected, however, and the restraints OF
quarantine will perforee be maintained.
Jackson is an Illustration, as is New Or
leans and Mississippi City, of an un-
drained nsanitary town. An undrained
town is necessarily town of more or less
fifth and vileness. There is but one way
to keep a town clean, and that consists in
the removal of all easily movable filtn at
once by the motion and rush of water
through sewer pipes. Jackson and New
Orleans are both building sewer systems,
connections are put in, it will be found
that they are as fever-proof as Memphis
and Savannah have become. The entire
Atlantic coast was once subject to fever
visitations, but sewers and other sanitary
work has forever driven the disease out
The gulf coast can be rendered equally
immune. and so can all other towns in the
gulf states.
The neglect of New Orleans in building
sewers has been expensive to the guilt
states, and Jackson's neglect of a like ma
ture has cost the state OF Mississippi mil
liens of dollars. However what has been
done cannot be undone, and We can only
look forward with hopefulness to the time
when every considerable town in the gulf
states will be severed and properly cared
for Pensacola should nave a sewer sys-
tom, and towns like Vicksburg, Natchez,
Meridian and Columbus should begin to
make preparations in like direction. Mo-

GOLD Fn0M FOREIGN COUNTRIES

n Y. Letter in Chicago Tribune.
The announcement of the importation of
81 GOO in gold from London by Lazard
Freres confirmed the rumors current last
week of the gradual accumulation of gold
in the open market in London for American
account There would be no profit in this
transaction on direct exchange against
London. As the bankers bills against Paris
have been at gold import point for several
DAYS it is understood that the present i'm
portation of gold is the result of a rriangu-
lar operation in exchange between London,
Paris and New York.
1t is always difficult to obtain gold coin
of the desired quality and quantity in the
Paris market. Lazard Freres. whose prin-
cfpal business is with Paris, has recently
made efforts to secure gold IN Paris but
finding that the premium asked would not
permit of a profit on the transaction the
gold was secured in London, exchange be-
irg sold against it here on Paris and ex-
change on London being in turn sold in
Paris. 80, O.
Following the announcement of this direct
importation, Messrs. ]. and W. Seligmap Il
Co. announced that $1,50o00O in gold would
be shipped on the next steamer leaving Au-
stralia for San Francisco en- route for this
city.
This transaction will also be the result of
a triangular operation in exchange Great
Britain owes money here and Australia
owes money in England. AS the freight
and insurance rates are cheaper to ship
direct from Australia here instead of by
way of England, the gold comes this way
thus settling Englands debt here and in
turn canceing the obligation Of Australia
in London. 80

Constitutional Revision Not an Issue.

Dr. Cunningham concludes that the
times are not propitious for constitutional
revision and he therefore declines to
place himself before the people as a candi-
date for Governor. Lacking a burning is
cue. ne sees no occasion for his candidacy.
This position Is certainly creditable to the
hcnored president of the senate. His letter
IS a model of compact, clear reasoning, and
the people will not be apt to forget the
man in the long run who so frankly and so
capably and so periodically defines his
position.
The time will come the years run on
when the people of Alabama will not be
content with their fundamental law. They
will come to see that it has been outgrown
in more respects than one, and that 1t can
no the reiuvenated by the amendment
route no matter how easy the courts may
make it. They will begin to see that in
the words of DIR. Cunningham, free, fair
and honest voting. and correst honest
counting" are all-important, and that these
reforms cannot be secured until suffrage

Advancing Price Of Cotton.

Including the jump in cotton seed the
Houston Post estimates the, increaselin cot
ton values to be equivalent to ten dollars
a bale over the prices prevailing at the
corresponding period of last lyear If
prices are carried to a point that gives the
cotton farmer himself seven centss
pound, the gain will indeed make the whole
southern country happy. And prices are
very near the seven-cent point now, and
the prospect of their maintenance must be
considered good.
There are two movements that are very
significant. The oil mill managers, all of
whom live in the SOUTH are grabbing for
and bidding up cotton seed. They are pay
ing as high in some sections as $12 ton, or
90 cents a bushel, for seed Would they do
this if they thought the crop would prove
to be even up to that of last year? Then,
again. the managers of southern cotton
mills are buying the cotton of their loeali-
ties and paying well up 10 seven cents.
The Talladega Mountain Home comes to
hand this week quoting the Talladega price
for cotton at 10 cents. Would mill own
ers in the south pay shpside prices if they
thought a Nell crop remain to be mar
keted? Indeed they would not. All south
ern experts, Prophet Neill alone excepted,
are acting on the basis of a crop of about
100000 to 1O,5oOOOO bales, and they know
that such a crop in the present stage of
the worlds demand is not sufficient. Con-
sumption of cotton is rising rapidly, and it
has reached point that calls for a eleven
milllonbale crop, and such a crop will not
be forthcoming this year.
Three things are raising the price of cot
ton, namely, a great demand for manu-
featured goods in all parts of the world,
the resultant rising demand among the
worlds spinners for cotton, and the in
creasing evidence of a decreased supply.
There is no reason for believing that any
of these reasons are temporary or unreal
They seem to be the fixed conditions of the
year, and seven-cent cotton becomes, day
by day, therefore, more probable and near
er at hand.
