AIR. TBURYANs NOMINATION.

The nomination of Allen G.. Thurman for
Vice President will not strengthen the DEM
ocratic ticket where it needs strength. III
kindles the enthusiasm Of old-fashioned Dem
ocrats. but they would have voted and worked
for the ticket in any case. Outside OF his
own party. Mr.. Thurman never has been found
strong candidate. He would not have been
beaten and discarded years ago by the Dem,
ocrats of Ohio if he could have commanded
even a moderate reinforcement from lnde-
pendent or Republican voters Neither would he
have been pronounced by President Cleveland
foo old for place in his Cabinet II he mad
possessed, outside the party or within 1t, such
strength as wild enthusiasts at ST. Louis mag
ined He has been an upright, able and sincere
Democrat always a strong partisan, always
Of the old Bourbon type, and never ready TO
quarrel with his party, however gross Its errors
or grave its heresies. Mr.. Thurman knew that
the soft-money repudiationists disgraced his
party and menaced the public prosperity, but
he supported them all the same SO he con-
sents to help the party now, though Its present
organization in Ohio is made infamous by many
crimes.
While Mr.. Thurman's nomination does not
make Ohio doubtful, nor strengthen his party
in Eastern States where his financial record IS
not approved, it makes Indiana a hard State
for Democrats to carry. 1t opens there bitter
personal sore. which will not speedily heal. 1t
was in downright earnest that the indiana
delegation warned the convention against the
choice suggested at Washington, and 1t may
we'll be doubted whether in riskinG the htoen
electoral votes of that State, MIR. Thurman's
nomination has gained half as much anywhere
else It was hoped that his name would make
Democratic success possible in the Pacific
States, by appealing to the railroad-hating
sentiment. But the tremendous Republican
victory in Oregon shows that no other question
is likely to be so potent in that section as the
question of protection for home industries.
The nomination of a man so aged and
physically infrm as Mr. Thurman, for position
which calls for labors as wearying as those OF
any Senator, and which carries with it tremen-
dous contingent responsibilities, is not betting
indeed, it is hardly decorous. But MIR. Thur
mans name gives dignity to the ticket. In
no harsh sense, but in strict exactness, 1t may
be said to make the ticket more respectable
For there is no acquaintance of Mr. Thurman
who does not realize that, if he were President,
Mr.. Garland would not be in his Cabinet
The age of the candidate for Vice-President
will make the choice of President more i'm
portant, and thus will concentrate more Of
public attention upon the question of Mr.
Clevelands fitness for post in which he has
not asked Mr.. Humans counsel, but has
rewarded Mr.. Humans enemies and political
slayers.

hope rs. REALIZATION.

"He is not hope he is a realization"
So remarked Advocate>Doughertyi in presenting
the name of Mr.. Cleveland to the St. Louis
Convention. Yes, but what sort OF realiza-
ton? There are realizations and realizations
-realizaions that confirm hope and realizations
that confound it. The Duke of Wellington
was a realization after the battle of Waterloo,
and so was Napoleon. General Grant came
out of the War realization, and so did Jeffer-
son Davis. Bull Run was realization, and
so was AppOmattox Court House. Gray, Of
Indiana, who was sat upon hard at st. Louis
is a realization, and so is Thurman, whose
horn and red bandanna were exalted To
speak of Mr.. Cleveland simply as realization
is to say nothing.
"He is not hope, he is realization" Yea,
verify, and the realization gives the hope a
black eye. When this enterprising office
holder in the White House was merely hope,
the Independents regarded him as an eminently
trustworthy and courageous Civil Service Re-
former Now that he is realization, they
confess that they were grossly deceived in
their hope Of him. They have seen him remove
good and faithful public servants simply be-
cause hungry Democrats demanded their
places. They have seen him at the beck Of
his own greed for reelection trample under
foot his own order to federal office-holders
They have seen him lay pipe for second term
after characterizing the eligibility Of the Presi-
dent for reelection a most serious danger
to the public veal. And seeing this, the indie
pendents must have had the conviction forced
upon them that Cleveland the realization"
convicted Cleveland the "hope" Of being a
"He is not a hop1 he is a realization
And the realization is what will defeat him in
November. Mr.. Cleveland has made shipwrecl;
of the confidence that was placed in him. He
has not proved better than his party. As
HarpeFs Weekly lately was forced to admit,
he has yielded to the pressure of the De-
mocracy. And to yield to the pressure of the
Democracy is to become subseryient to tho
spoismen, the saloon-keepers and the Free
Traders.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE BRIDGE BILL
The opposition to the Bridge Reorganization
bill is confined in the main to few persons
who fear that the new trustees may set aside
the action of the present Board in regard to
increasing the railway facilities. The plan
adopted a few weeks ago provides only partial
and temporary relief, while the welfare of tho
travelling public demands the adoption of
some comprehensive scheme, like that proposed
by Mr.. A. NJ. Wellington, which will enable
the greatest possible benefit to be derived from
the millions invested by the two cities in the
Bridge. Opposition to this can only be based
On narrow and selfish grounds With Board
Of Trustees possessing proper qualifications
for their duties and keen sense of concentrated
responsibility, there would be the best Of reasons
for hoping for a liberal treatment Of this i'm
portant matter-a treatment commensurate

An astonishing msstatement was made in
the resolution adopted by the Democratic Con-
vention regarding the admission of Dakota,
Montana, Washington and New-Mexieo as
States. The resolution condemned " the course
of the Republican party in refusing Statehood
and self government to these Territories. 1t
is well known by every one familiar with our
recent history that the Republican party has
striven in vain TO get justice done to Territories
that deserve to be Subsequently, to Dakota
The Special Grand Jury who are charged
with examining excise cases, alleged election
frauds and reported combines in the Board
of Aldermen, are not going to have an easy
time of it. They are said to be going through
the excise cases at the rate of fifty day, from
which it is easy to calculate that this branch
of their work will consume about four months
The election and A,dermanic matters will then
remain, and both demand thorough inveStiga-
lions. These special jurors are to be COM
misorated, rather than enyied
" 1t all turned out just as 1t was planned"
This was Mr.. William l.. SCOTS candid COM
ment on the work Of the Democratic Conven-
tion just after the adjournment yesterday.
There apparently was little danger OF hitch
once or twice, but any delegates who showed
desire TO kick over the traces were quickly
reduced to order. Mr.. Scott even confesses
that the platform was adopted in the precise
shape in which it had received Mr.. Clevelands
approval. The opposition to Thurman, who
was eulogized in the convention as Cato
and Gladstone, proved to be of little strength
ninety-fve votes were recorded for Governor
Gray, but the Physical Wreckn managed to
get only thirty-two. The machine was in as
complete control as ever "Boss' Mclaughlin
was in a Brooklyn convention. The de-
mocracy has abandoned all claims to indie
pendence. 1t is she creature of the Dictator
in the White House.
That Governor Hill should sign the bill
creating a Commission to revise and ccdify

pccted. The suggestion for such Commission

seedsmen Busy vi the Year.

t'What does the SeeClman do in winter"
A gentleman connected with a prominent
house which deals in plant germs, roots,
seeds, bulbs and slips, repeated this question
of a reporter the other day.
There seems to be a general impression,
which is erroneous" said he, ''that there is
nothing for the seedsmen to do through the
winter, but it is far from being the dullest
season of the year with them Really, the
only busy season is from March l to June 10,
although some of the market gardeners who
sS.rt their early vegetables under glass, pur
chase their stock of seeds as early as Feb
ruary.
1.-The very dullest season is in the middle of
summer, which nature designed for the
growth and fructifying, and not the germina-
ton of vegetable life During that part of
tho year no seeds are put into the ground.
Until the ground is frozen pretty stiff there
is considerable for to do. We put Oh our
stock of new seeds and sell some. Up to
Thanksgiving people set out bulbs, hyacinths
and crocuses. Currants, berries and grape
vines are also set out in the fall, and that is
the season, too, when the perennials, daisies,
carnations, digitalis, hollyhocks, cardinal
flowers, pansies, petunias, mignonette, hello
trope and verbenas are sown for early
Towering.

In An English Car.

Now, the American car and the English
carriage run on two different principles. The
English railway manager expects you to do
great deal for yourself He expects You to
buy rug to wrap around your legs, and yol
do it. He expects you to buy shawl to mt
around your shoulders, and you do it. He
expects you to buy reading lamp if you are
TO travel by night, and you do it. He doesn't
provide you with any drinking water, as he
expects you to buy glass of beer if you feel
thirsty, and you do it, a traveller in winter
in an English carriage sits muffled up so that
he can hardly move. He dresses for the oc-
casion as / would if 1 were going to enjoy an
afternoon sit down on the banks of the De
troit river with the thermometer below zero.
Now, an American doesn't like that sort of
thing If the car is not hot enough for him
TO sit in his seat in the same costume he
would use in bis own house he travels by
some other road. If the lamps are not bright
be blows up the conductor, and if there is no
water in the tank all that section of country
will hear from him.-Luke Sharp in Detroit

The Amos and the Eclipse.

An interesting glimpse into the thought
processes of unenlightened peoples is fur
nished by the following observations of the
Amos, degenerate japanese tribe, distin-
guished for their long growth of hair, during
the recent eclipse. The Aino is said not to
be imaginative, but on being shown the
eclipse through smoked glass he cried out
that the fainting away and dying
a silence ensued, broken by an exclamation
of fear that the sun would dry up They
brought water and sprinkled it upward to-
ward the sun, crying: ooh, god, we revive
thee! Oh god, we revive thee!" Some
squirted the water upward with their mouths,
some threw it up with their hands. A group
of women and girls sat down with their
heads between their knees, as if expecting
some calamity.
Their tradition with regard to the eclipse
says that 'when my father was a child he
heard his old grandfather say that his grand
father saw total eclipse of the sun. The
earth became quite dark, and shadows could
not be seen; the birds went to roost and the
dogs began to howl. The black, dead sun
shone out tongues of fire and lightning from
its sides, and the stars shone brightly. Then
the sun began to return to life, and the faces
of the people wore au aspect of death, and as
the sun gradually came to life these men
began to live again" Otherwise they have
no theory of the eclipse, but their personifca-
ton of the phenomenon is evident
