CAPITAL CRIPs,

CAPITAL cHIPs.
Inc Sacramento river last evening stood of
| the S-foot finch mark, aud was clearer than
it has been for many years.
Watermelons by the carload are being
shipped every day from this city to Nevada,
Utah and other points East.
| Norman Keller, who lives few miles east
| OF brighton, was in the city yesterday and
reports that the crops in his eection are better
than they have been for years. The melon
crop is simply immense.
| PEcULIARITIEs IN PoLITIos. place to
hold political meeting is always very largely
determined by the saloon influence certered
around the locality. There are Republican
saloons and Democratic saloons, and in Re.
publican and Democratic councils the ques-
ton of giving John or Tom ga show, by
holding meetings in front Of his place is By no
means subordinate one in the conduct of
campaign. Every meeting has its head and
tail. The stand from which the speeches are
delivered may be denominated the head, and
the remote and fugitive outskirts of the as.
sembiage may be enumerated as the tail
| The experiences differ as to which end Of the
| meeting does the most drinking, In some
cases the saloon Immediately behind the stand
does poor business, while those on the op-
posite side of the street, in close proximity to
the tail OF the crowd, reap all the har-
vest. There are instances, however, in
| the experiences of veteran bar.tenders, when
the crowd on the sidewalk behind the stand
become the most liberal patrons Of the bar.
The subject has never been made one of
scientific inquiry, but while testimony ia ex.
| tensive upon both sides it cannot be said TO
have reached satisfactory conclusion.
Meetings held on Second street established
the stand on the east side of the street, but as
they have usually been held in the interests of
Republican saloons upon the west side, the
testimony OF the Second street experiment
may be set down as in favor of the superior
| bi6ulous tendencies of the tail-end Of the
meeting. On K and Seventh, however, OBJ
seryation reverses this testimony. There the
stand is placed usually where it will do most
good, and the tail of the meeting is pointed
away from the saloons intended to be osnsG-
| Charles of the occasion. Political meetings
are never held where neither the tail nor the
head are in proximity to saloon. This is
curious fact, an explanation CT which awaits
the searching investigation of the Social Sci.
| ence Congress.
