Fertilizers in Sugar Beet Cultivation


According to Maercker a crop Of III
tons of beets to the acre contains IN the
roots and leaves l0j 6 lbs nitrogen, 100
lbs. potassa and ~ lbs phosphoric acid.
These in most cases must be returned 70
the soil in order TO retain its fertility.
If any land should yield eight tons OF
beets 10 the acre and if it is desired to
obtain rs tons. it should according to the
authority in question receive % lbs
nitrogen, % lbs. pOtassa and q lbs.
phosphoric acid These could be sup
piled with 346 lbs saltpeter, 40 lbs
kainite and us lbs superphosphate,
containing IS per cent phosphoric acid.
In practice, however. these amounts are
not sufficient, on account OF imperfect
assimilation and il is found that 600 lbs.
of saltpeter, ETC., are needed. The facts
are that such combinations are very
costly on a large scale, and that barn
yard manure, the year before planting,
seems 10 be the only rational product
about l2 tons are needed per acre, which
would furnish on an average 100 lbs.

cases desirable to add 300 lbs. saltpeter

MIR. TOWNE ON HIS CHANCES.

Hon. Charles A. Towne, the Mime
Populists for the Vice Presidency.
thinks that the Democrats at Kansas
City will make him Mr.. Bryan's run
ming mate. In an interview Mr.. Townc
is quoted as saying:
You may say that I expect to be
nominated for Vice President at the
Kansas City convention, and l have
more support at present for the nomi-
nation than any other man, although
in some sections of the East there
seems TO be objections to a Western
man for the place. Some of the peo-
pie down there cannot get rid of the
old idea that the United States does
not extend beyond the Allegheny
Mountains. If. however, l am not nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention.
l am not prepared to say what action
shall take. and will not decide until
that time comes
We do not detect herein any symp-
toms of that modest and retiring dis
position on the part OF Mr.. Towne
which was to relieve the situation of
all cmbarrassments and complexities.
and incidentally to irradiate 1t, should
occasion require, with a splendid ex-
emplification of unselhshness, and of
sclf-immolation on the altar of princi-
pie. There is borne in upon us, on
the contrary, the unmistakable i'm
preston of n mere politician who fan
cies he occupies position OF vantage
and Is quite prepared to utilize it to
the full in forwarding his personal for
tunes and falling I'm that IN ,,,oLo

which regards him merely as prom
Using source of profit. He has done
bloody murder and he was deliberately
baited unto 1t. That was his fatal mis-
take. Instead Of setting out to slaugh-
ter foreigners with scythes and clubs
he should have provided himself with
plenty of Krupps and Mausers. and
having warned foreigners out of the
country, should then have made war
In the accepted fashion. In this he
would have been clearly in right.
Let us. therefore. not lay to our
selves the flattering JUNCTION that in
making war on China we are doing
anything very noble and lofty. For
eign citizens would have been safe in
China to-day If they had shown to the
Chinaman the same consideration they
show to one another. The slaughter
and the rapine are the legitimate pro-
ducts of the most selfish and despica-
BILE policy Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT in mod
ern times. If we are going in for our
share of loot. If we are to be parties
to the European conspiracy. we cannot
escape joint responsibility for their
previous crimes against China.

fitness. In this we are not at all sur
prised. having from the first viewed
with skepticism the theory that Mr..
Towne was merely used to plug gap
in the situation until another. more
available. had been put forward by
the Democrats.
One thing seems to be certain-if
Mr.. Towne uttered the sentiments with
which he Is here accredited, he has
definitely and thoroughly eliminated
himself as a Vice-Presidential posi-
bility before the Kansas City Conven-
ton. That gathering should not, and.
we take 1t. will not. warm to any per-
sonage who begins his campaign for
the nomination by the repetition of an
ill-tempered platitude that no longer
appeals to even the provincialism to
which 1t Is addressed. because that
particular kind of provincialism has
largely ceased to exist.
There is, also, an assurance about
this utterance of Mr.. Towne's that
does not seem to be in unimpeachable
taste. under the circumstances, while
the covert threat of his last sentence
is likely to provoke some resentment
in the bosoms of Democrats who arc
not at all prone to lavish nominations
on aspirants from other parties who
menacingly demand such honors. Mr..
Towne Is clearly impossible.

HANDS OFF CHINA.

The presence OF English German,
Russian and French fleets in Chinese
waters is the real source OF the Chi
nese disturbances. The Chinese people
that these European powers mean to
overthrow the Chinese government
and divide China among themselves,
and they have risen against all for
eign residents in consequence. In the
anti-foreign outbreak American mis-
sionaries. merchants and other resi-
dents are mcnaced and some have
perhaps been killed. This Is to be de-
plored. but does not constitute a suIi-
cient reason why American fleets and
armies should participate in the parti-
ton of the Chinese Empire. We have
no just quarrel with China. We do not
want and have no right to foot of
Chinese territory. and for this reason
we have no business to take any part
even in an indirect way in the spolia-
tion of the Chinese dominion that has
been determined upon by the European
powers. All we want is an open door
on equal terms for American commerce
and to secure this we will have to in
sist upon our rights with the usurping
powers and not with the Chinese peo-
pie or government.

The United States Government can
take no part in this iniquitous pro-

Western Continent or an open ac-
acknowledgement that its purpose is to
hold and dominate all of the Western
Hemisphere and grab oil that It can

SFiIRT-SLEEVES AND THE LAW.

The American used always to be
thought of as a man in his shirtsleeves
and the lanky figure of Uncle Samuel
was not infrequently depicted minus
the clawhammer coat. which IS now
considered n necessary part of his ma
bihments.when he stalks abroad to ad-
Just things. 1t was. of course. never
necessary that the American go in his
shirtsleeves all the time. He could
wear a coat If ne wanted to, or even a
brown paper west" like Uncle Russell
Sage. and a coat at dinner was not sup
posed to retard digestion.
Undoubtedly. shirtsleeves are not as
popular as they once were. whatever
may be said Of "shirtwaists": but 1t is
still permissible and, even proper. for
the coat to be discarded on occasion.
When the person in question. however
has wrapped about his manly bosom a
west" with nondcscript back ito it,"
and d large and cleaning buckle nest
ling over tho small of his back. he
should tfor artistic reasons) retain his
coat. But. I'm the evolution of wearing
apparel men have become possessed of
an Outing shirt" the province of
which is supposed to be to enable him
to dispense with coat and waistcoat
when the mercury bubbles in the tube;
nor is his presence so clad, when on an
outing" considered offensive to the
fair sex.
That this view is not shared by the
gentlemen who go down to the bay in
ships. was. however. brought to light
in the Court here this week in the case
of one of our citizens against the c..
&c o. railway. asking damages for
forcible election from the ladies' cabin
of the steamer Louise. The plaintiff.
it seems. wore IAN outing shirt and no
coat which is somewhat tautologi-
eal but will avoid confusion. Because
plaintiff wore no coat the purser of
the Louise elected him from the cabin.
Nothing but coat went" in that
cabin, and. presumably, had plaintiff
been clad in a Navajo blanket or q
macintosh, the requirements would
not have been met.
But we digress: The Court in its
charge to the jury said, according to
the reports. that the officers of the
steamer Louise HaQ IL TlSnC TO md Ike
rules excluding from the saloon, pas
sengers. who. for any reason, were not
considered desirable in that part of the
boat" Now, the steamer Louise is a
common carrier. 1t is a part of the
system OF the c. & Q. railway. Can
the officers OF a train exclude a pas
senger from a first class car If. ''for any
reason" they think him undesirable?
Can the officers of the steamer Louise
make rule that no man wearing n
red crayat, or straw hat, shall ride
in the ladies' cabin, and lead him
out" if he persists in entering it's pala-
tial confines so be decked? That is n
legitimate construction of the Courts
language, If correctly reported. The
servants OF common carriers are some
times we'll meaning and polite; some
times they are neither. To give them
authority TO put a man out of the
ladies' cabin. or n first-class car. be-
cause he has mole on his chin. or
falls short of the sartorial elegance
that appeals to them as arbitcrs of
fashion. is to reduce the rights of the
travelling public to a pretty slim mar
gin.
