The Issues Are Unchanged.

The war was a righteous one in be-
half Of humanity. The proximity. of
Cuba to our shores brought the hr,,-
talities of butcher Weyler to orr
knowledge and forced us to pause IN
the discussion of domestic Questions
long enough to drive Spanish misru]e
and barbarity from our doors. This
being done and our entire peon,e re-
joicing in the triumph of our army
no differences of a fundamental nature
with reference to our newly aco,,irod
territory having arisen to divide our
people, the war will form merely :,
parenthesis in the discussion of mo-
mentous questions relating to our own
fiscal policy. Therefore, the money
question and the question OF monono.
lies will shortly resume their o]d
places in public discussions and again
receive the practically undivided .t-
tention Of the American people unt;,
they are finally passed upon and sat-
tled.-Silver Observation-Disclosures.

Grave for War CORRESPONDENTS

The London Daily News the other
day printed a mournful little note as
to the death roll of journalists who
had fallen in Egypt and the Soudan:
1.-THE. Soudan since troublous times
broke upon it has come to be a grave
for war correspondents. First to find
their long rest on desert sands were
Edward O'Donovan, the intrepid rep
resentative of the Daily News, and
Frank Vizitelly, who shared the fate
of Hicks Pasha's army. Power, who
had also been a correspondent of the
Daily News, and later of the Times,
was murdered with Col. Donald
Stewart in a Nile village On their way
down from Khartoum. Then Cant.
Gordon, correspondent of the Manches-
ter Guardian, died on the desert, and
a few days later Cameron, Of the
Standard, and st. Leger Hubert, of the
Morning Post, were killed in battle
at Gubat. At Suakim, three years
later, Mr.. Walker, a promising young
artist of the Graphic, was killed bv
a shot from the dervish trenches. The
Dongcla expedition of 1886 claimed an
other victim in Mr.. Garrett of the New
York Herald, who died of enter,c
fever, and nov another correspondent
of that paper, the Hon. H. Howard (the
correspondent also of the Times. aa
stated above), has given up his life
on the battlefield in front of Omdur.

Sixteen to Ono or Bust.

With over two hundred millions in
gold locked in the treasury to keep I'D
its price, and with money daily leay-
Ing the regular channels Of trade as a
result Of an unnecessary bond issue,
says the Journal OF Agriculture, wheat,
cotton and all other American staples
Of export must continue to be forced
down.
The first year Of good crops abroad
will see prices in this country so low
as a result Of this governments insane
policy of pulling" gold against our
producers, that we will not get money
enough from abroad to settle balances
and pay Jul enormous debt of usury
to the English and continental plutoc-
racy.
MIR. Bland estimates that we owe FIVE
billion dollars to England alone. If
allowed to use silver and treasury
notes freely at home, we might pay the
interest on this enormous debt in gold.
But when gold is made the sole stand
ard for all debt, domestic and foreign,
when all the staple crops with which
we must pay when We have no money
are measured in gold and %cheapened
by it, collapse is inevitable. The free
coinage of silver at sixteen to one is
our only possible escape from strin-
gency after stringency, from panic
after panic.
No debtor nation of agricultural ex-
porters can survive the gold standard.
For the whole country it is sixteen to
one or bust.

A Mouse Almost Causes Daatb.

A little mouse gnawing through the
rubber feed tube connected with a gas
stove in the bed room Of Kate and
Lizzie Kelly, dressmakers, of Scran-

CURRENT COMMENTS.

senator Morgan regards the oppOSl-
ton to his bill for the Nicaragua canal
as purely obstructive, intended to pre-
vent the canal being built at all. He
could prove that fact if his bill had
provided for direct government on
struction, ownership and operation,
which 1t does not, says the San Fran
cisco Star. If the canal admits even
the little finger of a private corpora
ton and it becomes law, that corpora
ton will get away with the whole
property, and it will follow the eX-
ample of the Panama route in becom-
ing part Of a transportation trust with
the Southern Pacific.
A brilliant light has been cast on
the actual cost of transportation ser
vice by the contracts for the trans
p%ortation of 1900 New York soldiers
from San Francisco to that city. The
rate is S1.99 to Sacramento and $1,000
thence to Ogden-about 900 miles. But
from Ogden to New York city they are
to be carried 1925 miles for $3.50. The
first rate, over a line controlled by
the Southern Pacific monopoly, is
nearly two cents per mile, the other
IS but little over half a cent. The
rate of $1.99, from here to Sacramento,
is 40 cents more than the regular sec
ond-class rate. The Pullman COM
pany made no bid, but will charge the

extra.

gest a parcels post, under which any
article now mailable can be sem at

to ten pounds.
The only way to regulate a natural
monopoly is for the people to own it.
The monopoly corporations are al
ready active in Cuba; street railway
stocks jumped, in Havana, from 81 to
~, and Others advanced similarly. The
American West Indies syndicate had
already secured Concessions" for rival
lines, and had begun construction of
a road, when the existing Zero Car
ri Urbano," paying them 100000,
forced them to quit, under a law of
1859. This indicates that between old
Spanish laws and new American "con-
cessions" the Cubans are to be effect
ually squeezed before they can have
the least opportunity to establish gov
eminent ownership. There is no rea,
son why old Spanish laws against pub
lie policy should be recognized either
under American control or %independ,
ence. Better start with a clean slate

the weather. To take advantage Of it
properly the ridges must be thrown up
in advance and then wait for rain
on them. If thrown up after the rain,
unless another rain follows immed:-
ately afteIward, the ridges will soon
dry out, while those thrown up before
the rain will retain the moisture. Dur
ing the rainy season, when rain sue
ceeds rain day after day, there is no
difficulty in setting out plants any
time. But if the weather is at al! dry
one will gain time 10y preparing the
beds and wal ting for shower
Here is what another planter has
to say regarding his method OF treat
ing vines:
"Cut in pieces the right length to-
plant (about Is inches long, and pile
them in the smoke house OF some 9th
" >nadc where they are entirety con
cealed from the sun, and wet them
with water and let them lie in a pile
until little roots put out, which will
take a day or two; then stick them out
in well prepared moist ground or in
dry ground and water them and you
will hardly lose a plant. Stick them
down with a small stick and IF you
water them do not fill the hole"
The writer of the above evidently in
tended that the hole should not be fill
ed with dirt. This method of leaving
the hole open is practiced by good
many.
Now here is another way, given 10y a
practical farmer, which has dts good
points:
'EThe rows are laid out by scattering
fertilizer in parallel lines about three
feet six inches or four feet apart.
Without breaking these Lines, the fer
tilizer is GOV cred 10y blowing from
both Sides, two burrows onto it, leav-
ing a solid unbroken center founda-
tiOn. from six to ten inches wide, be-
the rows are somewhat fatty rounded
with a hoe. The object ofthis is: Our
soil is sandy and highly porous, and
the unbrOken strip beneath the row
prevents the fertilizer from going
down below the reach of the potat to
roots, and is conducive to forming
plump and well-shAped tubers. The
rounding of the row with the hoe fur
nishes also sufficient soil to scrape
down when the weeds and grass need
removing. At the second working the
rows can he pulled up to their original
size the vines being laid along the
surface Of the ridge" -Datil Pepper.
