than eighteen or twenty inches apart and
FIVE or six pounds of seed drilled in even
". Most of the fertilizer used should be
broadcasted on the land after the seeds
are sown, or just before sowing.
On good land, well cop dressed with suit
able manure, the onions can stand as thick
as six or eight to the foot. Even thicker
than this with proper fertilizing good mar
ketable onions can be produced. For or
binary culinary purposes medium-sized
onions, three or four to the pound, are
more desirable than very large ones. In
fact three-ounce onion is to be preferred
70 anything larger. Such a size is more
easily cooked properly and besides are
more readily cured and preserved. Very
large onions are more liable to rot than
the smaller ones. If the Southern truck
er only had an onion that could be sown
in May or June and then mature in Octo-
Der or September, he could supply the
world with onions. Unfortunately, our
onions ripen in midsummer, and are not
easily preserved like those grown at che
North which natures after the hot weatn-
er Is over. But it is easy enough to pre-
serve over the small quantity raised in
the ordinary kitchen garden.

The Failure of the Potato Crop.

Complaint is very general that the Irish
potato crop this season is very poor, the
poorest, perhaps in many years. There
is plenty of vine. but few or no potatoes.
What is the cause? From all accounts
potatoes are suffering from blight in the
South and where they have never blight
ed before. Very few potatoes have set
on the vines and these few are small.
To start with, this season the quality of
the seed potatoes was the poorest we have
ever seen. 1t was almost Impossible to
get smooth sound potatoes in any quaint
ty. Ninety per cent. of the tubers were
rough and scabby and these potatoes were
cut and planted without being treated at
all for scab and it is more than likely that
the majority. of gardens used crude sta Bile
manure as fertilizer. With scabby pota-
toes for seed and such manure, we are
not surprised that there are many failures.
What the sum Of the failure will aggre-
gate can not be estimated until the reports
come in this fall as the Northern crop Is
barely underway yet. 1t is not very
risky, however, to predict that the potato
crop OF the United States for 1899 viii
probably prove the poorest we have had
in many years.
If any of our readers have made a nor
NAL crop of smooth. mealy potatoes this
season we would be glad to hear from
them, and it would be good thing for
those, if there are any, who have made
such crop TO take particular care to
plant second crop this fall and grow
their own seed for another year, as well
also their own table supply this winter.

"REnEnBER THE MAINE!"

Capt. Sigslise. writing Of the destruc-
tion or his battleship in the January
Century. denies that, "Rcmentcr The
Maine" was used as a motto by the
navy IN the late war with Spain. lie
also indicates a perfectly r,oper use Of
the phrase by patriotic americans. He
says
We have beaid much OF tie motto,
Remember the Maine" II we are
satisfied that the Maine was blown up
from the outside we have a right to re-
member her with Indignation. but with
on. more conclusive evidence than we
now have. we are not right il We charge
crminality 10 persons. Therefore con-
ceive that the motto, "Remember the
Maine used az a war-cry would not
have heen jnstiahable. | should lik0to
make the point here, as / have made 1T
elsewhere. that this great and free
country. with its education, good inten-
tion, and universal moral influence,
may go to war To punish. but not To re-
vengc. Improperly applied, the motto,
Remember the Maine" savors too
much of revenge, too much of evil for
evil; but il may be used In an entirely
worthy sense.
During the recent war with spain
about 70 men were killed and wounded
in the United States navy. Only 10
were killed. on board the Maine 25f
men were killed outright and others
died later-nore than II times as many
as were killed in the United States navy
by the Spanish land and naval forces
during the entire war. In the way that
the men OF the Maine died and suffered
there was enough 0f the heroic TO pro-
vide a sound foundation for the motto,
Remember the Maine" Let me dis
miss the prevailing impression that this
motto was used as n battle signal. No
United States naval vessel has entered
into action flying the signal. "Remem-
ber the Maine" / am glad that 1t can
be SO stated: yet one may excuse many
mistaken expressions OF the heat of ac-
tion.
TO this the editor OF the Century adds:
IL may be said on the authority of
Capt. John X. X. Bartlett during the
war chief intelligence officer of the
navy: "rhe signal, Remember the
Maine has never been displayed on a
United States man-ofw war or by the
army or navy, with onei exception. n
signal quartermaster Can enlisted MANI
Of the Coast Signal Service hoisted the
signal from the station at Port Eads, at
the mouth of the Mississippi. when a
transport loaded with troops was
passing out to sea, as was his
duty. the quartermaster added 10 his
message 10 headquarters the fact OF dis
play OF signal, which was received with
great enthusiasm by the troops. He was
severely reprmanded by return mes
sage over the wires"

The resolution of Senator Vest of
Missouri which senator Platt of Con-
necticut combated and Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts upholds, ahirms that no
power is given the Federal government
to acquire territory 10 be held and gov
erned permanently as colonies. Such a
declaration applies as truly 10 the pos
session of the Hawaiian islands as TO
the possession of the Philippines, and
the whole problem depends upon the
point of view taken OF the Constitution
of the United states. II is a poor sub
ject, indeed that has not the possibili-
ties Of two sides TO it, and the splendid
instrument upon which our great re-
public rests is no exception. IL has

reasonable TO claim in behalf Of the
colonial policy upon which our govern
ment is surely embarked that the con-
stitutional argument ir opposition
thereto is almost solely a negative ar
gumept. In other words, the Constitu-
tion does not i'm SO many words deny
the right of acquisition of colonies, but
only fails 10 provide such power. We
believe that none of the able constitu-
tional lawyers who have allied them
selves with the anti-expansion move
inent claim that the letter of the funda
mental law prohibits the government
from acquiring colonies.
