CLEVELAND BAYARD.-Success is the
chief object of the coming campaign. Bay
ard would naturally be the choice o. the
South the question of his availability is a
serious one We want no bloody shirt bus
mess, nor anything that will again stir up
the issues of the late civil war. ."Let the
dead past bury its dead" and not disturb
the issues of the present. Cleveland would
be acceptable to The democracy of the coun-
try Bayard would not be to the extremists
of the North.
1t is true that there is strong feeling
against Cleveland in his own State, not
caused by his pure and patriotic record, but
by political factions that cannot hope for
any favor at his hands.
Tammany has large following in the
city of New York, the centre Of political
power and movement, but should not the
honest influence outside of that great city,
tell in the selection of the candidate and
carry force sufficient to unite discordanL
elements in the interest OF the country
favorite-Grover Cleveland. We have no
doubt that if the democracy Of New York
were polled, large majority would declare
in his favor, not regarding political
wire pullers and disappointed candidates for
office. Candidates are few, the people many.
Wonld it not be the better policy for the South,
to unite at once on Cleveland, and strengthen our
friends in tho Empire State. We can lose nothing
by such course and may gain everything. Let
us ponder and avoid mistakes.

To KEEP RAILROAD CARS CoN.-The
French railway authorities are ut present ell
gagged in q series of experiments from which
perhaps, our own directors might take some
hints. With hot weather coming on, or at
least in the ordinary course of nature cxpec-
ted, the problem is now To keep the railway
carriages cool. In France travellers arc
packed very tight, and most trains go very
slowly, and the authorities have to arranyc,
to deliver their human cargoes at di'itant
termini with vitality not quite extirct SO
they are now exercised in seeking how to
cool their carriages. They hive gone as far
as India for suggestions, and the fiavoritc
experiment is with IL kind of punkah. A
long cylinder runs the length of the roof of
the carriage, furnished with fans set in mo-
ton by revolving the cylinder After many
systems tried, this seems the most practical
BILE, the only point in dispute is how to get
the motive force. The surplus steam of the
engine has been tried on one line, and on
another little arrangementlike windmill
attached to each carriage, the motion Of the
train causing the wings to revolve, while the
occupants Of each carriage can regulate or
arrest the stream of air. Both systems are
being tested, and our companies need only
take the benefit of those experiments and
adopt the most successful or the least costly.

A VISIT TO BELMONT PARK.-Through
the courtesy of the obliging and wide. awake
Superintendent of the w. 0. & w. r. r.,
L. M. Brophy, ESQ.,, we were on last tues
day afforded a trip to one of the most de-
lightful and convenient summer resorts we
have ever visited. On our arrival at the
w. o. s. W. K. r. depot, we were escorted
to the train by the efficient and polite train
master, John A. Carr, and in few minutes
were speeding along toward the park. Alter
very pleasant ride OF thirty-three miles
we arrived at our destination. On alightng
from the car, we were very agreeably sur
prised to see instead Of a shed, AS we
had expected a beautiful rustic depot, at
either end of which is erected large and
handsome sign, bearing the words "Bel-
mont Park" in gold, rustic letters, which
we learn, is the work of Il brother in-law, Of
Supt. Brophy, w. A. Carr, of Roanoke, Va.
Leaving the depot we proceeded down the
main avenue, on the left OF which is erect
ed large and commodious dining hall,
| which is provided with tables and seats,
which extend nearly the entire length oil
the building. In the rear of this, and about
forty feet distant, is erected n Kitchen,
which is provided with stove and other
conveniences. The next building is the
refreshment stand, which is provided
with the delicacies Of the season.
Then, as we paced along amid the dense
foliage, we were startled by the sound of
music, and in few minutes were at the
dancing pavilion, which deserves special
mention. This building is large enough to
accommodate over one hundred couples at
one time, and has q seating capacity of as
many more. Leaving the main avenue, we
turn to our left to see the spring. This is a
beautiful spot, but space will not permit a
description of it. We are now on the bank
of the historic Goose Creek, which is noted
for the grandeur Of it's surroundings, and
the abundance of fish and game in its neigh
borhood. We soon arrived at the boat
landing, and in few minutes after securing
a boat, our party of five were silently drift
ing with the tide. We proceeded down the
the stream about mile, through what one
of or lady companions termed "an earthly
paradise" We would like to describe this
more fully, but space will not permit. Mr..
B. has displayed very good judgment in
his selection of summer resort, and de
serves great credit for his untiring efforts
to make it success. Hoping have not
imposed on good nature, am your obedienl
servant, "CoMMUToR."
