Mathushek Orchestral Pianos, that for once
the enterprising L. & b. s. NJ. H. have been
caught mapping, SO to speak. They received
only few days since a large stock of these
choice instruments, and supposed they
would have time to get more before these

on hand.
Our people are of refined tastes, musical
ly inclined and not slow to take advantage
OF genuine bargains offered, and this &C
counts for the wonderful success of their
special sale.

ahead for Mathusheks at S325-$5 cash-S2
weekly, and have telegraphed for large
number. They propose to continue the
special sale for limited period, and all

SKIPPING MELONS SOUTH.
Maryland Fruit Being Brought to Sa-
Vannah

A carload of watermelons was received
yesterday from Baltimore by one of the larg.
est fruit dealers here. This is the first ship
ment of northern melons to the south. Those
received yesterday are very fine, and bring
SIS per hundred here. They retail for Ii
and rs cents EACH
They do not sell as we'll now" said a
dealer, "as they would have sold had they
been shipped month ago. They do not
bring the prices now they would have
brought then. You see it's getting too late
for people to eat melons l think shipping
melons from the north hero, on a small
scale, would pay; but, of course, Savannah
could not consume enough in month to
make it big business"
The Georgia raised melon gets to be very
inferior toward the middle of August, and
if the northern melons were shipped here
then, they would drive the poor melons out
of tho market, and there would be a de-
mand for better fruit, the fruit dealers

Mrs. Joseph johnson, of No. East Broad
street, is very i'll at st. Joseph's Infrmary,
and 40 hopes are entertained of her recov-
cry. Yesterday she sent for an attorney
and, it is understood, made a will making
John Hill her legatee. Hill has assisted her
in the saloon since her husband deserted her
last spring.
1t will be remembered that johnson, who
was 'longshoreman, suddenly took his
departure, accompanied by his niece, and
it was said by some OF his friends at the
time that no had returned to England
others claim that he went up to the north
west, in the lumber regions. A friend Of
Johnsons said last night that when John
son hears OF the disposition, made by the
will, of the property in his own name, that
he viii return TO Savannah at once, and
that he will hear of it soon.

A REPRESENTATIVE BODY.

An immense body of mechanics from
the railroad shops in this city yesterday
marched as escort at the funeral of their
late comrade and chief, A. j. Stevens.
Whoever looked upon that body of we'll
clad, intelligent men, and noted the evil
dences they gave of comfortable condition,
and their independent and manly bearing
must have been impressed with the fact
that the American system gives us far
better results among mechanics and skilled
workers than is possible in Europe Every
man in the line yesterday is sovereign
factor in the government; he receives good
wages, is responsible to his God and the
law only has equal voice in the conduct
and policy of the country with all others,
and represents 4 system that fosters indie
pendence, progression, thrift and intelli-
gence. No industrial center in Europe
could make a showing of wage-carners
from mechanical works that would at all
compare with that of yesterday in the
comfort and possibilities represented. Here
there is no limit set to the ambition of
any one of this vast body of independent
workers. 1t is his right and privilege to
aspire to any position and accomplish any
end his skill, providence and intelligence
can compass. He stands upon a perfect
level with all his fellows before the law,
and no decree can deprive him of single
privilege that will not apply to any
other citizens of the State under like
circumstances. Unlike the wage-earners
of most other lands, he is hedged in by no
conditions through which he may not
break. He is the arbiter of his own des-
tiny, and no power can command him to
limit his aspirations. The foreign ag-
tator who comes to America to kindle dis
content among such men and inflame them
against the American system meets with
very poor success as a rule, and the reason
is evident. 1t was made manifest vester-
day to whoever looked into the faces in
the procession of railroad mechanics.
There is but little danger that such citi-
zens, knowing their rights, understanding
the limitless privilege of American citizen
ship, and the guarantees of free govern
ment, will be won over to Anarchism and
vicious assaults upon the government of
their own making and control, or to assim-
ilate with the rascally foreign crew that
immigrates to this country for the purpose
of poisoning the minds of Americans
against system that represents the best
manhood and the broadcast human posi-
bilties known to civilization

MR.. BLAINE's pECLINATION.

Mr.. Blaine has written letter declar-
ing that he will not be candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination. He
chose the Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee through whom to adj
dress the people. This in itself shows such
purpose and determination that it must be
taken as fixed fact that he will not per-
NIT his friends to use his name in the mat
ter. Expression has already been made
that despite this declination the Conven-
ton may nominate him, and that he NAV
be constrained to accept. This is really
impossible, with honor. Mr.. Blaine by
such a positive declination, and made so
far in advance, is pledged to all other as
pirants for the nomination not to recon-
slder his resolution, unless, indeed, very
speedily. Certainly he could not, with
any sort of grace, become candidate at a
late hour, and after his competitors for the
honor had made a campaign for the NOM
ination, upon the faith of his non-inter-
ference. The letter to Chairman Jones
puts Mr.. Blaine out of the fight for the
Presidency, and political speculation to
that exten, is narrowed.

A BURNING SHAME.

The exposition made in the local col
umns of the REcoRD-UNIoS yesterday of
the immunity from interference by the
officers of the city, enjoyed by Chinese
lottery concerns, ought to make citizens
who have the reputation Of the city at
heart, blush for shame. Here are a dozen
or more Of the most enticing and ruinous
of gambling schemes run openly and IN
bread day, and engaging the feverish inter
est and constant investment of hundreds of
boys Of 10 and upwards and men Of all ages.
In fact, the whites more patronize these
Chinese lotteries than the Mongolians.
Officials look on complacently, have full
knowledge of the violation Of the law, and
not only make no attempt to arrest the
offenders, but the latter are not apparently
at all concerned about the presence of the
officials. There can be no other conclu-
sion drawn from this state of affairs
than this; either the officers are too lazy
and Indifferent to do their duty, or they
are under Instructions to let the Chinese
gaming go on. If the first is the true So
luton, then every last one OF the officers
evadiDg duty should be bundled out of the
department; if the second supposition is
correct, then whoever gave the instruction
should be promptly broken from Office and
exposed TO public contempt and execration
There is no escape from the judgment that
the police department in this matter is
paralyzed by incompetency, or is grossly cor
rupt. The Commissioners, as judges in
the case, if they interest themselves sufli-
GENTLY to investigate, will be able to arrive
at one or the other Of these conclusions,
only.
But having said this much, to make
no concealments whatever, the RECORD
UNION is Of the opinion that the police
officers are comparatively blameless in this
whole matter. The responsibility rests with
the Police Commissioners, three officials
who know precisely why Chinatown is one
long, drawn-out, liberated gambling den,
oorrupting men, women and children, and
sowing the seeds Of vice that will bring a
harvest Of misery and shame to homes of
this city as surely as sunshine and rain
will make grasses spring from the soil.
The close quarters into which the Police
Commission is driven really excites some
compassion. The DEGREES of local bossism,
while autocratic, and their bonds flesh exact
ing, have at least this virtue; they do not
make fish Of one and flesh of the other ;
they do not give license to white gamblers
to ply their vocation and deny it to the
heather. Nevertheless, the condition of
affairs in Sacramento concerning police
inefiiciency is a burning shame There is
need for some drastic remedy to eradicate
the moral ulcers that are eating at the
political heart of the community.
