Residents of Oyster Bay have
grievance against President Roosevelt.
He has built an ugly wharf on the
front beach, upon which to land his
family and friends from his yacht
(the Mayhower, of the navy. The
citizens complain that the wharf de-
prives them of the use of the beach
and mars the beauty of the water
front Several of them started the
other day to tear down the offending
wharf but were prevented from car
rying out their purpose by a writ
of mandamus issued from Brooklyn
court. The President is fond of hav-
ing things to suit himself, even if
the rights and privileges of others
are interfered with.

A Question of International
Morals.

Has a nation any more moral right
than an individual to go on killing ex
pedition for the collection OF debt =?
What requirement of moral law is violat-
ed by the private citizen who holds up
his debtor at the muZZle of q six-shooter
and compels settlement by shooting
his family that is not equally violated
by a government that sends warships and
armed men to wage war on a people of
order to collect debt due by some OF
them to subjects OF the invading govern
ment? By what right, save might.
can a government tax It's subjects to de-
fray the cost of such debt-collectinK and
make them particeps criminis In the kill
ing and destroying? Ii A, B, and G go
into foreign country and lend money i,
sell goods, or build railroad for ID, ,E,
and r, citizens of that country, and the
debtors fail 10 pay. by what right, on
what principal of justice, can the mil
lions of fellow citizens of A. B, and G be
compelled to pay for an armed expedi-
ton against the power of which ID, K,
and are subjects, How much better
than murder Is 1t, morally speaking, to
kill men In such cause?
War Is justifiable only In defense of
territorial integrity or national honor.
A government Ia responsible for Its own
debts, but not for debts of its subjects.
No question of national honor is invOlv-
ed In the refusal Of a government to be n
debt collector for obligations owed by
its subjects. II our civilization Is nor
going to get hopelcssly In the rear of
the moral procession, the powers must
cease to collect debts by cannon

Potato Experiments.

At the Canadian Experiment Station
Ottawa, the best average results were
obtaiued by planting the sets fourteen
inches apart in the row as compared with
ten. sixteen and eighteen inches, the
average results at twelve inches being
nearly as good Planting one inch deep
gave the best results, but depth OF four
inches is recommended to prevent the
sets being disturbed by cultivation. Plant
ing on May 80 gave better yields for both
early and late varieties than later planting,
and the average yields for four successive
years and also in favor Of planting the
latter par of May. Spraying with Dor
deaux mixture for the prevention of blight
ana rot proved profitable. Special ex-
p rments with fertilizers in the Maritime
Provinces showed that manure increased
the yield OF potatoes TO larger extent
than other fertilizers.

CHAPTER XIV.

AS l said in the foregoing chapter
the days Immediately following the
death of the prefetto and the Count di
Pordino were exciting ones.
A new prefetto was appointed by
the king. and he proved to be gen.
erous and intellectual man. at whose
hands we received the kindest treat
ment.
- The villa of Maligni remained In his
family, and the new prefstto resided
at the prefettura in the Did castle. in
Cagliari, with his wife, n charming
woman and his daughters, accom-
plished young ladies about the age of
Nita
Here Nita remained as his guest
during the remainder of our stay in
Sardinia, while Mutterelli and | took
up our abode at the splendid but neg
lected villa di Thorlano, as the guest
of Thorlane.
Under the new prefetto all my be-
longings were restored to me, and
was once more in possession of the
letter of Antonio Sigmotta. and the
locket and pin that had belonged to
the infant Alice Graviscourt.
The Importance of these was greatly
augmented by another document
which contained the statement of
Dambo. duly attested by the new pre-
fetto. and the import of which will be
duly disclosed.
l made Nita Barlotti fully acquaint-
ed with the significance of these
things; and our impatience to be off
to America to finish our work was
generously met by the new prefetto.
who aided us in every way. and final
ly saw us depart from Cagliari with
many expression of regret
Thorlane wished to have the mar
riage of Nita and himself solemnized
before leaving. but NE archly bade
him be patient. for there was plenty
of time; and she preferred to know
the truth concerning herself before
she became his wife
To our united voices, Thorlane
laughingly yielded, and placing his
estate in competent hands, to be cared
for until his return for final adjust
ment, he announced himself as ready
to start.
So We took a steamer to Genoa,
where made good my promises to the
faithful Mutterelli, and placed to his
account fifty thousand lire. equal to
about ten thousand dollars.
