BETTER OUTLOOK FOR GAMERS now
seems certain that the pack of tomatoes in
Hartford this year will be greatly below that
of 1888 or 1889, even ifthe yield should be
full. Very few packers are contracting for
outside crops and will only pack what they
can grow themselves. The effect ofths
course will probably be seen in better prices
next year. A slight upward tendency is al
ready noted. The Baltimore TRADE, on this
point says:
"Tomatoes are getting quietly stronger as
time passes and If all the reports of the small
ness of the planting in Hartford county be true,
we will yet see them in sufficient demand to run
the general value up to so and IS cents. The
worst bears in this market cannot locate them
within cents of what they could be bought for
30 days ago."

ARBITRATION CAsEs.-The case of Charles w
Baker VS.. James A. Cunningham, was heard in
Bel Air, last Friday, before j. g. Rouse, Jos. A.
Price and Robert Seneca, as arbitrators. A YER
dict was given in favor of Mr.. Baker for $3.50.
Cunningham had given Baker an order to
sell 2, 600 cases of tomatoes for him. Baker sold
them and Cunningham falling to deliver the
goods, Baker had to furnish them himself
Mr. Baker claimed $434 as loss sustained by Mr.
Cunningham's failure to ill the order. The

were sold in Mr.. Bakers name he was not liable
for any breach of contract. Mr.. Baker was rep.

The Chicago Democratic Convention.

The popular interest in the approaching
national Democratic convention, which will
meet at Chicago on the 9Th ofJuly, increases
rs the time draws near. The party is
disposed to act with extreme caution in max
ing their nominations, the main point
being to select candidate for the first place
who can unite the Democracy of New York
and carry that great State. There has ap.
peared to be some doubt whether the New
York delegation, acting under the unit rule,
would support Governor Cleveland in the
convention. In order to settle the question
the New York Herald has communicated with
the delegates as to their actual preferences,
and has ascertained that 80 are outspoken
for Cleveland, Z are known to be for him, 10
are non-committal, 10 were not heard from,
8 are for Bayard, 1 for Flower and for Han
cock. This would appear to make Cleve.
lands majority certain.
The New York Times asserts Cleveland's
ability to carry New York. 1t says:
"That Cleveland can carry this State by q vote
which no other Democrat can command we re-
gard as certain. 1t is equally certain that he
can carry the neighboring States of Connecticut
and New Jersey, and there is strong probabili-
ty that Massachusetts and New Hamsphire will
go with them. There is also plenty of evidence
that the reform Governor is strong in the
South and West, and would gather up more
doubtful votes than any other candidate. OPP
position that comes from disappointed appli-
cants for official favors is always active but
never extensive"
In selecting candidate who can probably
carry NewYork the attitude of John Kelly
and his Tammany Hall contingent must be
taken into consideration. Before the New
York convention met Kelly declared that
Tammany Hall would support the nominee,
whoever he might be, but it now appears that
his preferences are for tho irreproachable
statesman of Delaware, Senator Bayard.
The West, however, will have a potent voice
in the convention and the delegates from that
section may present candidate of their own.
We have abundant faith, however, in the
desire of the convention to nominate candi-
date acceptable to the entire party, who will
be able 10 lead it to victory.

The Independent Republican Movement
Gaining Strength.

The independent Republican movement
against Blaine appears to grow in strength,
Notwithstanding the efforts of the party po-
ltical hacks TO belittle it and predict that it
will soon run its course and die. A large
meeting of the Republicans of New Haven,
Connecticut, was held Monday night, at
which the plainest kind of talk was INDUCED
in concerning Brother Blaine. The chair
man declared that the Chicago Convention
had presented despicable platform and a
dishonored candidate. 81 blame no man for
making the Presidency the ambition of his
life," said he, "but let that man keep his
name and life above reproach. Can the
merest party hack say that James G. Blaine
has character above reproach2 You and
i, gentlemen, have read those tel-tale letters,
in which he told how he has prostituted the
Speakership" The speaker continued:
In all things Mr.. Blaine has subordinated pub
lie to private ends. His influence has been
against us. It's sad thing to see our old party
fllter and break when great and new questions
come up before it. But it would be sadder still
If there were none to stand against this tenden-
cy. We are Republicans but we are not slaves.
We belong to the Republican party, but not as
camp followers. No party's life is worth any
Thing unless that party has some high ideal.
The Republican party was organized to bring
the moral idea into American politics. 1t has
had glorious past. 1t may have a glorious
future, but it will only be when 1t writes on Its
banner, "Retrenchment, purity and reform" |
can cali the Republican platform nothing but
the platform of demagogues, fit only for dema-
gogues to stand on. say it is right for US here,
met as we are in open light before the public
eye, to utter our pretest against that nomina-
tion. regard it as an assault upon the better
aims of the party. l say it as one who, come
what may, will cast no vote for James u. Blaine.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resol,ed, That the National Republican Con-
vention recently held in Chicago has in its
platform departed from the principles on which
the party was founded and from purposes for
which the party exists
Resolved, That the Convention has still fur
Their disappointed those who desire a pure ad
ministration and an advance in the standard of
political action by the nomination of James e..
Blaine and John A. Logan.
Resolved, That it is the true duty of every
man who is in sympathy with the principles OF
Republicansm TO stand by those principles even
though the patty may desert them.
Resolyed That these candidates are unworthy
of our support.

A GIGANTIC RAID UPoN THE TREASURY
DEFEATED.-The arrears f-pensions bill was
defeated in the Senate, on Monday, by the
Democrats, aided by Mr. Sherman and few
Eastern Republicans. fit had become law
it would have taken $246,0O0OOO or more
out of the United States treasury. Senator
Ingalls,, who offered it as an amendment to
the Mexican pension bill, called Mr.. Sher-
mans attention to the fact that the Repubi-
can party is committed to the scheme by its
Chicago platform.
1t was intended to capture the soldier vote
for the Republican party at the expense of
the people of the country. A few raids of
this kind upon the treasury would soon pre-
vent reduction of the tariff, if, indeed, it did
not compel an increase. Republican control
of the government means an increase of
taxation.

DIED FROM A CUNNING AccIDENT..-Mr.
Alvin A. Everett, aged 80 years, died at his
residence, near Fountain Green, last Saturday
afternoon, from the effects of an injury received
by his gun bursting. The accident occurred on
the 9th instant while he was cunning in the
woods near the residence of DR.. A. 8. Winches-
ter, the broken fragments of the gun tearing
away the fleshy part of the left forearm. He
was taken to DR.. Winchester, who dressed the
wound. There was very little hemorrhage but
Inflammation set in and the wound began bleed
ing profusely, in about week afterwards. Mr..
Everett was also subject to epilepsy, the attacks
of which became frequent before his death.
After his death piece of the gun barrel,
two inches long, was found in his arm. He was
shoemaker by trade and leaves wife but no
children. The interment was at Mt. Zion M. E.
Church, Sunday. The pall.bearers were James
q. Chamberlain, Walter Chamberlain, Robert
F. Hanna, VIM. Dean, Jas. Filey and w. Henry
Dozen. Rev. j. w. Smith conducted the ser
vices and preached a sermon appropriate to the
occasion.

Low Prices for Jersey Cattle.

The New York Times, in noticing the low
prices realized at recent sale of Jersey cattle
attributes the fact to the growing recogni-
ton of the value of cattle. This value, it
says, in the case of Jerseys, is and has
been fictitious. The Times adds:
A COW is actually worth what her milk and
butter will bring in the market and no more
If the milk of one cow will make more butter
than that of another she is worth more, and her
progeny, of course, are more valuable than
those of an inferior cow. The fictitious value
placed on the COW, it of course follows that an
equally fictitious value will be placed on the
progeny. But because it is so it does not fol
low that the value is anything but fictitious.
Breeders have been and still are willing to pay
thousands of dollars for q COW because they
know that she will more than pay for herself in
her offspring. 1t is good business investment,
but, like many other investments, II has been
overworked. When 1t became the fashion to
own Jerseys the business of importing and
breeding them received an impetus such as that
of no other breed of cattle has ever enjoyed. A
thoroughbred Jersey COW was valuable because
she was Jersey and because she was hard to
get. Extensive breeding and importation has
deprecated the latter element of value and
common sense Is extinguishing the former. As
butter.maker the Jersey will probably always
remain at the head and will always be actually
worth more than like animal of any other
breed. But 1t is extremely doubtful if Sc, 200
will ever again be paid at an auction sale for q
Jersey cow.

John Kelly seems to be the bette n0ir in
the Democratic camp and all eyes are turned
towards him TO know whittier he will lead
his Tammany Hall forces. His opposition
to Cleveland has grown out of the fact that
the Governor refused to be controlled by the
Tammany cheftain, and this may be an
element of strength to Mr.. Cleveland among
right-thinking people in and out of New
York. Kelly's political creed is self first, the
Democratic party afterwards. Let the Demo-
cratic convention nominate the best men,
without regard to Kelly, and if the election
is lost, honor, at least, will be preserved
Democratic principles must in the end
triumph in this country, or the republican
form of government will die.
