The Heartless Wretch.

1t will pain good many people to learn
that Attorney General Brewster, VINO
masquerades as an apostle OF proteclioh
to American labor, imports from London
his wonderful coats and marvellous pants,
together with other portions of his attire:
TN ruffles of his shirts and his coats OF
arms alone are manufactured in TINS
country. That a man from Pennsylvania
should have so little compassion on our
infant industries is enough to wiring tears
from Bessemer steel.

A man named Birdsall printed letter
IN the Hartford COurdHt in which he
charged that the Sun assisted in defeating
General Hancock in 1880 by deriding and
abusing him in its editorial columns. The
Sun opens its files and offers a reward of
5000 to any one who viii find line in
the Suns editorials which contains any
thing which contributed to General Han
cocks defeat. Here is a chance for Bird
sail to make nice little sum of money
and at the same time prove that he is not
given to making unfounded statements.

The Good Templars of Florida are
flooding that State with circulars asking
voters not to sign any dram-shop petit

State, and before there can be an election
in any county or town to test the ques-
ton whether the sale Of intoxicating lq-
uors shall be prohibited, there must be a
petition presented to the proper authori-
ties containing a certain per cent. of the
registered voters. The Good Templars
hope TO prevent an election in many of
the counties.

Our Tallahassee correspondent says
that quite a number Of the counties of
Florida Will make splendid exhibits at the
Louisville Exposition. 1t is a noticeable
fact that at all great eXpositions OF the
country Florida has ranked among the
leading States in the display of her pro-
ducts. Her people are shrewd. They
know there is no better way to advertise
a State than by such eXpOsitions as this
one at Louisville. Florida, without the
natural advantages possessed by some
other Southern States, has, perhaps, en-
loved a greater degree of prosperity than
any of them. She has made the best of
what. she has, and the result is that she is
rapidly increasing in wealth and popula-
ton. Her sand fields are becoming
gardens. and her pine forests are giving
place to orange groves. Florida has set
an example which it would be well for
some of her neighboring States to follow.

J.H. Woodward. better known as "Jay-
hawker," who got Judge HOadly, Of Ohio,
into trouble by starting a story that
Hoadly paid $4,000 for his nomination as
Governor. is charged with having pub
lished a confidential talk he had with
Joseph Pulitzer, the editor of the New
York World and st. Louis P0St-DjSpdtcb.
1t seems that Pulitzer and ''Jayhawker'
met on a train in Ohio a day or two ago
and Pulitzer talked pretty freely. Among
other things he is reported to have said
that while he had strong hopes Of HOad-
Tvs success il looked very much as

tinuing. it is alleged, he said: something

the present state of affairs in Ohio is con-
tinued there is nothing but defeat in Ohio,
and defeat in Ohio means defeat in New
York, and defeat in New York means the
loss of the Presidency to the Democracy.
There is still a chance for HOadly. If the
Enquirer would turn in even now and
give a vigorous and earnest support to
HOadly he might recover his lost ground
and carry the state. I'm afraid he's gone,
gone, gone. If l thought il would do any

The conversation appeared in a Cincin-
natl paper the day after the meeting be-
tween ''Jayhawker'' and Pulitzer. "Jay-
hawker'' denies that he published the con-
versatiOn. He says a wicked newspa-
per man sat behind Pulitzer and him and
heard every word that was said. 1t seems
curious that those who do not want their
views. opinions and talks published
should have any association with man
like "Jayhawker." They know that he
is not only unreliable, but that he would
not hesitate to sacrifice the reputation of
his dearest friend to secure the publica-
ton Of a sensational article: 1t is not
improbable that Pulitzer said none of the
things attributed to him.

Georgia Melons i'm St. Louis.

The Globe cmOcFdt says: southern
Missouri has pretty well run the Stale of
Georgia out of the watermelon market
here, but still the green striped Georgia
variety is the only kind to be seen. "The
trouble with the later receipts of the
Georgia melon was that the fruit was
overripe and sOured from the effects of
hot weather while in transit to this
point"
If true that the melons were OVerripe
and soured in transit to that point, two
faults are indicated that may be easily re-
medied in future shipments. The first lies
at the door of the grower, who should be
careful to pick and ship his melons at
the proper time so that they will arrive at
the market in good condition. The second
is the fault of the transit companies.
WatermelOns, whether over or under
ripe, do not sour unless very badly ham
died. IfbrOken or bruised they will sour
in a few hours during hot weather, but
otherwise, remain sound indefinitely.
One way of getting rid of these spoiled
melons, remarks the Democrat, seems to
be to cut them up in nickel slices, place
the pieces under glass, and sell them to
the little darkeys, newsbOys and boot
blacks.
.'Native growth melons, however, are
pretty good, but the price, twenty cents
to half a dollar each, is too high to bring
about an active demand from the
dusky resident around Wildcat chute
and Clabber alley. when melons are
10 cents EACH said a vender, 'cOlored
folks will buy them in preference
to beetsteak or bacon. Until that time
the melon business will not amount to
much Arkansas cantalOupes go at from
dime to 81 cents each, the difference in
value all owing to their condition: some
are rotten ripe and others bruised badly.
Choice homegrown sell, according to
size, at from 20 cents to half dollar
each.''

ing the duties of the Chief Executive of
the nation are. 1t will do the President
good to get away from the politicians and
office-seekers a little while. The trip to
the Yellowstone can hardly have any pO-
litical significance. The delays on the
way were not long, and little in the line

Park.
