should be good authority, as it is pub
lished in the melon region. "The hotel
plan of cutting a watermelon like a tulip
and putting a lump of ice in it is con-
demned, because ice should never touch
the pulp; but a burial of the uncut melon

times by eating a hearty dinner first, and
then topping off with a melon, and then
if a moral earthquake sets up in the.in

watermelon was intended as an episode

TUESDAY AUGUST %, 1881


Possibly u Republican friends have
been sverestimating Blaine. The Demo-
Gratis, as a rule, have never regarded
him as the biggest Injun in the Republi-
can wigwam. They are wont to view
him as more politician than statesman.
Some Of the Eastern papers seem to hold
to this same opinion of late, all on ac-
count Of the Secretary's letter touching
the Hartmann case. The following from
the Springfield Republican is a fair sam
pie OF what the big Republican papers
are saying about him in connection with
that. matter: "Mr. Blaine's stump speech
addressed tt Hartmann's lawyer is quite
unbecoming an American Secretary OF
State. He should have simply acknowl-
edged the receipt of the communication
and declined to make any reply. To ar
que the point laboriousiy and compare
himself to the Chief Justice refusing to
give a premature judgment on a case is
unnecessary pains to convince Mr.. Wehle
of his impertinence. If this is a sample
of Mr.. Blaine's state papers, We trus,
he will not have to produce many"

THE PRESIDENT.

The telegraphic reports from the Ex-
ecutive Mansion are still doubtful and
unsatisfactory. As usual the surgeons
continue to give out hopeful statements,
while all of the symptoms seem to
portend the very worst. There can be
no question that the President has been
worn down very low and now lies in an
extremely critical condition. Since our
last issue, also, he has been seized with
another fit'of vomiting which tended to
still further PROSTATE him. And yet
Mrs. Garfield seems almost cheerful,
while the President himself has been
talking of a trip to sea or to Mentor.
With such a showing of the case one
hardly knows what to think about the
chances of ultimate recovery. Possibly
to-day or tomorrow may shed some
light indicative of the real status of the
distinguished sufferer. We can only
await further developments, the mean.
while hoping for the best.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 22.-The Examiner
this morning states that the missing Coun-
ty Clerk, Stuart, has returned to the city,
and publishes an. interview with him.
Stuart bears marks of travel, and says he
has been to Mexico; that he left to avoid
intrusion of oficious friends and anpleas-
ant political influences and to disembar-
rass himself from unpleasant obligations;
that the affairs of his Office are all straight
and his private matters had been greatly
misrepresented. On the other hand there
is a definite statement that he has come
back at the request of his bondsmen, and
that they had been obliged to pay into the
Treasury some $4,000 unaccounted for by
Stuart.
Consolidated Virginia levies an assess
ment Of 80 cents. Con Imperial is assess
ed at 10 cents, and Kentuck at so cents.
In the Mint investigation the time to-day
was taken up in the endeavors of both sides
to introduce written statements regarding

of which was ruled out under objection.

1t used to be Kings, Lords and Com
mons ia England, and nominally now the
three same powers manage the affairs OF
the nation, substituting Queen for King.
There has, however, been practically a
great change since Queen Victoria's ac-
c~ession; for she is no Elizabeth, and her
control has long been a Evolutionary fc-
ton. The stubborness of the Peers in
the matter of the Land Bill is inviting a
still greater modification of the ruling
powers, and it is just within the bounds
of possibility that when Albert Edwards
turn comes he may find his position as
much below that of other Kings of En-
gland as his mothers was above that of
other Queens by the superior rank of
Empress. Great Britain republicarizes
slowly-but surely. :

An Important Circular.

A circular has been received by the Reg.
lister and Receiver of the General Land
Office, stating that circulars issued by any
attorneys that officers and soldiers of the
late war who were honorably discharged,
etc., are entitled to 100 acres Of Govern
ment land under the homestead laws,
which can be entered by an agent or at.
torney for the soldiers" are deceptive and
false, and are calculated and intended to
impose upon and mislead the persons to
whom they are addressed. The circular
further reads "You will inform all such
persons that actual residence upon, and
cultivation Of land entered under the
homestead law is required Of soldiers. and
that homestead entries made by soldiers
without personal residence and improve
ments. within six months after the filing
of a homestead declaratory statement, are
illegal and fraudulent"

Mr.. Gladstone's comparison of Lord
Randolph Churchill Ia gentleman by

to a flea, which, though insignifi-
cant in itself, has a well developed
capacity far making itself Objectionable,
was a retort sufficiently apt and cutting
to be worthy of Lord Be~aconsield. But
had the same thing been said in the

If General Hancock's friends think Of
running him again for President in 1884,
says the Daily Report, they cannot de
better than save the editorials Republi-
can papers are publishing about him now,
for use then. There is no denying the
fact that Hancock behaved well during
the campaign, and has conducted himself
admirably since. He has behaved all
along like a gentleman. Such behavior
was rather against him previous to No
vember, 1880, but has helped him since.
His dignity is not of the shoddy kind,

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.

Terrible Fire ut the Kansas City Exposition
A terrible disaster occurred at the kansas
City Fair Grounds on the 18th, reuslting IN
the destruction OF the Main Hall and all the
surrounding buildings. The fire broke OUT
in the west end Of the Hall at 3:45 p. m. Az
that hour the Hall was densely crowded,
and at once a panic seized upon the mutt.
tude. All efforts to quiet the excited ana
terror stricken people were Of no avail, ana
in their confusion they rushed hither ana
thither, trampling each other down, WINE
shrieks, groans and cries filled the air. An
immense heavy black cloud Of smoke came
from the burning buildings and settled IKE
a pail over the grounds, which were literally
black with q moving mass OF humanity, es-
timated ut not less than 10000 people.
strong wind was blowing and the hre spread
with wonderful rapidity, quickly commune
eating to the surrounding buildings. In an
almost incredibly short space OF time the
main building with all contents was an un-
slightly heap Of ashes. The flames leaped
across the avenue TO Newspaper Row, quick
" swallowing up the buildings OF the Times,
Journal and Mail, the Secretary's Office ana
q number Of refreshment stands In that VI
entity They next attacked the Grand Stand,
in which not less than l., 900 people were
seated ut the time watching the
races. The people fed in terror before
the advancing fire. Many fell and were
trampled upon, and large number were
manned and mutilated. The confusion was
indescribable. A panic had seized upon tho
vast multitude and 1t seemed impossible TO
uliiet their fears. There were no facilities
at hand for extinguishing the fire, and II did
not stop until there was no more material
for it to feed upon. The Fire Department
went to the grounds, but could not reach
there in time to be Of service. It had TO lay
1900 feet of hose to get water. The money,
etc., Of the Association was saved from the
Secretary's Office. Power Hall, Fine Art
Hall and the stalls with all the horses were
saved. The fire started from pile Of rub
bish lying on the ground outside the west
entrance Of the Main Hall. A party OF
young fellows were standing in the doorway
smoking and the fire is supposed to have
been started by one Of them throwing
cigarette stub into the pile Of shavings. The
losses will foot up fully $50. 200, including
the buildings and their contents. The losses
are distributed among the various exhibit
ors and there was very little insurance. The
Exposition Company loses about $40, 200 on
the buildings destroyed. The Board Of Di-
rectors held a meeting after the fire, and an
nounced to the public that they would clear
up the debris and proceed with the pro-
gramme, beginning where Is was broken on
by the UNEXPECTED disaster.
