Shade Trees.

The interest in this city in shade trees
10 very general. Indeed, the interest at
the present time is greater than 1t has
been for years. This, perhaps, is because
of the protest that was made against the
street, and the inquiry inaugurated by
the Chairman of the Committee on Streets
and Lanes relative to the trees best
adapted to this locality.
1t is gratifying that there Is a re-
awakened interest in this city in arbori-
culture. The city's chief beauty is its
trees, and it is important that this beauty
should not be permitted to disappear
through neglect or the want OF judgment
in selecting trees to replace those which
are destroyed by storms and by decay.
In Washington paper few days ago
there appeared an interview with the
superintendent of the Botanical Gardens
OF that city on Wa shington shade trees.
1t will be admitted that the national CAPT
tal is the most generally and artlstically
shaded city in the world. The trees have
been selected with judgment and planted
with the view Of making them source of
comfort as well as beauty.
In the course OF the interview the
uperlntendent spoke Of a tree that, per-
haps, our authorities might regard with
favor. 1t is known as the Carolina pop
lar. There is" said the Superintendent,
"a tree Of this kind in the west end of the
Botanical Gardens. 1t was bought
twenty-five years ago in Baltimore and
from that tree in that time we have pro-
duced 1000 Carolina pOplars, and the tree
is still hearty and healthy, magnificent
specimen. This Carolina poplar, with
species OF cypress, will be used very ex-
tensively IN South Washington and in ma
larial districts, as they are both absorbers
Of malaria. root and branch, Their use.
fulness from sanitary point of view is
wonderful. In the malarial districts OF
the South, along the edges of swamps and
morasses, they grow and attain a magni-
ticent growth" Would not this Carolina
poplar be good tree to plant in this city?
1t might, at least, be worth while to make
some inquiries about 1t as an absorber of.
malaria.

ship Humboldt, from Rio de JaDeiro to this
port, with a cargo of coffee, has come up to

Crimes and his officers relate an account of a
marine combat witnessed by them on the
morning OF June 10 off San Salvador. The
attention Of officers and crew was attracted
by furious commOtlon OF the waters short
distance ahead.
AS they neared the spot they saw that a
terrible combat was going on between mons
tiers Of the deep. The sea was lashed into a
seething foam. 1t fairly boiled within cir
cumference of hundred yards, and myrlads
of mad whitecaps iioated away beyond this
circle. Moving closely up and slowing down
they stopped to watch the battle. 1t was one
10 the death. A swordhsh and thrasher had
attacked a tremendous sperm whale. The
strength, size and force were with the broad
back sperm, that, wheeling round and round as
If working on Swivel, swung its huge tail with
mighty power. 1t would raise itself aloft
clear out Of the water, blow spray through its
nOstrIls and make frantic efforts to annihilate
its foes; but science, skill and manPuvrlng
were on the side of its enemies. The thrasher
is supplied with quicker that enables 1t to
stick to whatever it attacks. The tactics
adopted by the pair were successful. The
thrasher, springing upon the back OF the
whale, chung there, at the same time flashing
the unfortunate creature with its tall actu-
ally whipping it to death. The great sea ami
NAL, with its most gigantic efforts, was not
able to cast 1t off. There 1t held and dashed,
while the swordhsh drove his sword time after
time into the side of their big antagonist.
The waters were dyed with the blood of the
leVIathan, and in the course OF short time
he had succumbed to the effects of the beat
ing and the stabbIng and hOated upon the sea
a lifeless mass. The vessel, at the termina-
ton of the conflict steamed on Its way.

Make it Unanimous.

The State Convention meets tomorrow,
and the indications are that it viii do It's
work quickly. Gen. Gordon will be nomi-
mated for Governor. The occupants OF
I the other State offices viii, doubtless, be
rencmInated. They have performed their
duties in way that has given general
satisfaction, and the impression seems 10
be that better men could not be found TO
fill their places.
Gen. GOrdon's nomination ought to be
made unanimous, not because he has
threc-tourths of the counties and three
tourths OF the delegates, but because
such a nomination would tend to harm
onize the factions and cause them to for
get the personalities and ISLANDERS which
were so industriously circulated during
the campaign for the GubernatOrial NOM
nation.
The MORNING NEWS did not support
either Gen. Gordon or Maj Bacon
for reasons which are well known. One
OF the reasons was that the kind of can
vass they were making tended to dlsor-
ganize the party. The people have said
by an overwhelming majority that they
want Gen. Gordon for Governor. What,
then, is the use OF keeping up the fight
against HIM? Although the MORNING
News has not been mis- advocate and sup
porter it does now say that it would be a
wise and graceful thing to do to give the
peoples choice a unanimous nomination.
There is nothing to be gained by casting
a few votes against him. There is, now
ever, something to be gained by paying
MIN the compliment of a unanimous vote.
There will be better feeling in the party,
and when he becomes Governor he will
not be conscious Of an effort to avoid dis
eliminating against those counties which
opposed him.
Maj. Bacon's wishes in the mstter
ought not to be taken into consideration,
because he is no longer in q position to
expect anything. He carried his case
before the people, aud the verdict was
against him. The welfare of the State
and the interests of the party are the
things now for the delegates to consider.
Maj. Bacon desires, apparently, to keep
up the fight against Gen. Gordon as long
as there is chance to do so. He does

against his opponent in his letter

Is no doubt that it will be attributed to
the bitterness resulting from his defeat,
and if nothing should occur to substanti-
ate it during Gen. Gordon's administra-
ton, it will prove an obstruction to any
political aspirations which he may have
in the future.
No doubt the great majority ofthe Bacon
delegates would rather drop Maj. Bacon
as candidate since he has no chance for
the nomination and make Gen. GOrdon's
nomination unanimous, but attempts may
be made to influence them not to do So
If they determine to vote for Maj. Bacon
they will do so knowing that their action
