When American refuses to partake of its succulent onion Spain 1 attacked. In a vital point Without formal adoption as the vegetable symbol of the peninsular kingdom, this gifted plant has for many centuries been practically MentiBed with It It teems to lack the romance of the rose of England and the. Illy ot France and the sturdlness of the thistle of Scot land, but it Is close to the leek ot Wales at tha aim A star Jif C m nan rv rvv t utility. Back In the. reign of Charles L of Eng land the Spanish ambassador to the court of St. James is found complaining that the hands of the English ladies, which he was accustomed to bow over and ' kiss, lacked the aOoraol? odor of the dark-eyed beauties of bis native land. Historians are agreed that this delicate scent was none other than that of the onion, which the pious seAora consumed In such quantities that It perfumed her entire system. In "Don Quixote" onions abound, as they do In "Gil Bias" and "Asmodeus." All the picaresque novels. Indeed, thread th silver-coated bulbs along their narrative, as thty may yet be seen In strings decorating the ceiling of an old-fashioned farmhouse. Coming down to the seventies of our own century. John Hay records in "Castillan Days" that the onion Is to the Spaniard what rk-e Is to the Chinese. Our Iberian eats onhms. talks onions in a double sense and thinks onions not so bad a habit of thought, either, for the or.ion. an' it please you, "hat a biting wit." During the bitter lime when the haughty dons kept ti e Dutch so busy taking Holland H was remarked that their favorite victual reflected Itself In their habit of being. Like Its glossy blade, they were tall, erect and spare: like Its flavor, they weie given to acer bity: they had its penetration, and. like it again, they caus-d the t-ars of thous ands to flow down chea long arid. The same oniony character croDS out to this day. The analocy Is close be tween the fiery nation br-'aklnar out, not sporadically but diffusively, within the last fortnight and the permeation of a modern apartment building with reminis cent fumes whenever olle of the inhabit ing families see fit to smother Its even ing steak. If, then, the American nation desires to offer deadly Inmlt to Spnln It mleht better stop burning red and yellow flags and effigies of little boy kings, and, stabbing in a vital part go on to boycott the onion. THE LIEUTENANT GENERALSHIP. There Is a bill pending before the sen- ate committee on military affairs to re- , vive the grade of lieutenant general in the army for the benefit of General Mile. It Is urged, and wi'.h some show of rea son, that General Sehoflell held th's rank when he su In command of the army, while his predecessors. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, held the still higher rank of general, and 11 Is no more than right that General Miles should tnjoy It It seems that this bill nould pass the senate, and probably the house, If the secretary of war would lve it approval, but that official Is oppo-'d to it on the ground that the lieutenant generalship is an office that should be reserved only for those who have penoim-d extraor dinary services for the republic in actual war. The whole position is a wrong one. The lieutenant generalship should neither be a gift to be liestowed at the whlm of congress nor a particular re ward for military ferwe. It should be a permanent grade in the s rvice, and above it there should be the rank of general, also permanent. In truth, our army staff has neivr been properly or logically constituted. Even during the civil war, until the last year, although we had had a hilf million soldiers In the field at one time, our highest grade of officer was a major general. And thus we had colonels com manding brigades, brigadiers command ing divisions and major generals com manding corps and armies. Th Confederates, with a better sense of army needs, organli.;d their military service properly from the beginning, and created generals, lieutenant generals, major generals and so on. That Is the proper order. A general commands an army, a lieutenant general an army corps, a major peneral a divi sion and a brigadier general a brigade. This Is the way the European armies are organized, though th'y also have the rank of field marshal, which is above them all. Even with our skeleton arm, which In numbers comprises no mors than an army corps as It would be in war, there should be these grades, which involve but little more expense, while giving bet ter form and coherence to the stiflT. But If congress Is not yet rigdy thus to ptoprrly oreanlio th chief command ihor l no rraaon wny th Itaitrnant grmrBlahlp should not 1 mad per- l manrnt erad. j Thw 1 crrulnty nothing more pcr j nlftou In lcsNatUn than lo rival of I flcrs, civil or military, for rtltMil.tr In- If (Ipwral Mile a to b thin honorvd. ns ho dc''rvr to b lot the office also l.s.oend to hi ntcvcunr nlthont further I action. jO Tho proportion of the commit t o on ' fire ami watvr In the city conn.

It doe not atptar to the most casual observer to he to raise the 11. iW per month water rent. way at present Is to chance the consum i er. Thus cornea th 11.54 rate. Those taxpayers and large property owners whose Insurance premiums have been reduced KO.iVO per annum, or 3D per cent, by the new water system, ought surely to pay S.iW per year or S) per cent of the amount necensary to maintain the water plant It is to be hoped that the city council will appropriate the amount, which is just, one quarter of the sum saved on Insurance. Although the regular spring riots are a little ahead ot time In most of the col leges, there appear to b quite a number ot students that hav not yet succeeded In having themselves exielled. Now that Ohio and Iowa h.tv passed antl-clgarette laws other states may look for a large Influx of undertaker and coffin manufacturers.

The Earl of Lansdale Is known to have spent close upon a million itolalrs tn con nection with the four days' visit which Emperor William paid him at Ixwther cattle last autumn. They say that I-idy "LIU" Beresford paid r.uM of her Ham I mersly dollars to entertain the prince j from Saturday to Monday at D-epdene, I wlille, according to all account', the re ! cent stay of the Frlnce of Wales at Hlghclere castle with young Lord and ' Lady Carnarvon must have cost In the j neichborhood of a million of dollar. If I not more. I Not only was the grand old place re j furntsned at Immense expense from cl j lar to garret, the apartments destined j for the prince being even pan-led and j tapestried anew, but thre wrr evn ad ditional stables and accommodation for the servants built for the oc-aslon, the numbr of horses and carri.tees being likewise largely Increased. Then, too. Lord Carnarvon had taken the precau tion to stock his coverts with some ,l"l artificially reared pheasants, purchased at a heavy cost from the Great Hamp shire game farm, which makes a spe cialty of pheasant breeding. On the three days that the prince and his party were able tn get out after the birds during his stay at HlKhrlere he "no, r , " '' " no les than 11. flirt birds, and l.ad not the htavy rain kep, the gxii indoors dur ing the remainder of the pr'no-' visit it is probable that the size of the bag would have been doubled. In spite of the bad weather the prince cannot have been bored, so varied were the Indoor amusements. Lord Carnar von had engaged the services of the lead ing and professional billiard players to exhibit their skill at the tables. Then there were Indian juggl-rs, English con jurers, songstresses of the Vvette Gull bert type from Paris, a dtamatlc troupe from London and th" famous Gottlieb band to discourse swer t music, Lord Car narvon having no private string band of his own. as have Lord Lonsdale and several other llrltlsh nobles. Sp-etal trains carried the itu-flts to and from Ixndon as well as to the rii-TU-ul-tijral show In the neighboring town, while the wants of the Inner man were attnd(d to by no less lhan nln-1 addi tional first-class chefa from Parl.i, Ion don and Vienna, engat'd. In addition to Lord Carnarvon's own private sraff of four chefs, his cuisine being fam-d as one of the most perfectly ori;anlz d In London. Throughout the prince's stay the menu was daintily submitted to him for his approval, In compliance with the rules of etiquette. Though not a KOurmand, he Is, nevertheless, a irourmet, and as such prefers small, choice dinners to ela borate banquets.' In fact, there Is noth intj " he "a"hors to such an extent as a dinner of many courses, and he declines to remain any longer at table than an hour. He Is wait-d on by 1:1s own serv ant, who stands behind his rhalr, and who takes the dishes from the other servants. Hut It Is not true that he carries about with him his own wines to private houses. This is a precaution which he only adopts in the case of pub lic banquets. BUCKLEN'8 ARNICA SAiVJE. The best salve In the world foi Cuts, 'injises. Sores. Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sorew, Tetter.

In his annual address he declared that the law In its relation to criminals is largely vin dictive, and is to that extent a r 11c of other days. He believe that a large proportion of our criminals are not such from choice or the bias of nature, but from circumstances, and can be restored to a self-respecting life if the proper In- fineness ace brought lo Iwr on them.
