THE SEASONS FIRST MELONS.
The Fruit Small and Not Much in De.
mand Here.

uaUQ h6T0.
The first shipment of melons to Savan-
nah this season will evidently not be as
satisfactory to Florida shippers as the first
shipment last year was. The melons are
bringing very low prices, and the commits
sion merchants say that the single car load
received here Monday is too large guam
tity to be disposed of at anything like good
prices. The melons are below the average
in size. They are small and hard
A commission merchant said YESTERDAY
that the people do not want small melons
at hardly any price, and q large portion of
the carload has been re5hipped to interior
towns in the state and South Carolina.
What few Of the melons were disposed of
went at S25 per 100. There was practically
no market for the others. If all the melons
grown are like those on the market now,
the growers might make more by keeping
them at home and feeding them to the pigs,
Savannah people won't eat them. 1t is
thought that the melons shipped here
were too small to go TO northern markets,
and growers threw them off on Savannah
Melons were much larger last year and
there was a demand for them at % cents
and so cents each. Such melons as bring
IS cents now did not sell for more than 5
cents last season. They were Georgia
melons though, and the cost of getting
them to market was not great. Florida
melons will have to bring more than that
to pay for their transportation. Georgia
melons will drive Florida melons out of the
market about June Is. By July l nothing
but Georgia melons will be on the ma rket.

Savannah to Have a New Line to
Hawkinsville by Fall
Mr.. J. W. Hightower of the Empire Mill
Company of Empire, Ga, and Chattanooga,
Tenn, was in the city yesterday. His COM
pany has the contract for supplying the
lumber for the ode Soto" Mr.. High
towers company is building a first-class
railroad from Hawkinsville to Dublin, Ga.
via Empire, a distance of forty miles.
Eighteen miles of the road are already built
and steel rails have been purchased for the
entire distance When completed, which
will be on or before Oct. l, This road
viii give Savannah short line to Hawkins
vile via the Wrightsville, Dublin and Ten
mile railroad, and will open up splendid
cotton and timber country to S,a vannah.
The Savannah and Oconee raj lroad, which
is to be built from this city to 81 point near
Eastman, and which now ha a charter
granted by the secretary of stat under the
state laws, will apply to the LEI yislature at
the July session for another CHI arter The
projectors of this railroad own thirty "a
acres and three-quarters of mi le front on
the river adjoining the Central railroad
wharves and the right of way to the county
line. 1t is very probable that this road
will also be under way at an early day.
When the building of it begins it will be
rushed through in hurry.
Savannah has three railroads ST present,
but it should have about ten. There are, in
addition to the two above-mentl, med enter
prizes, the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery, the Southbound, the Savannah,
Dublin and Western, and the Savannah
and Western railroad schemes, a Il of which
have more or less favorable prospect of
being built. There is, therefore, only one
more road to be provided to complete the
complement, SO far as prospectiVs railroads
go. If Savannah can succeed in getting
two or three roads out of six built within
the next year or two they will ad millions
of dollars in trade and $4,000 NOR inhabi-
tants. 1t appears from the presen t outlook
that much road building will be done in the
time mentioned.

saw letter from William M. Regain
which think is of great interest to the
members of the National guard Of this
state. Mr.. Regain suggests that the eX-
position management, instead OF spend
ing the $4,000 necessary to bring the
New York Thirteenth regiment to Min
neapolis. hang it up in prizes divided
something as follows: $500, $4,000 and
$3.50 for infantry companies: 1000. $3.50
and $500 for artillery companies, and
still have balance of S1,500 for special
prizes. This would be a grand scheme,
and would give the exposition and the
city of Minneapolis more advertising
than anything else could. But | would
like to make a few additional sugges-
tons. l would recommend that $4,000
be raised. and be divided as follows:
For infantry companies, $1,000. $4,000,
$1,000 and $500; for artillery companies.
81, 500, $3.50 and $3.50; for individual COM
petition in the manual of arms, $3.50,
500 and $50, and still have $4,000 left to
pay suudry expenses with. If such
prizes as these We're offered. the best
companies in the United States could be
secured. The only extra inducement
that would have to be offered would be
shelter, and, as there is great deal of
available vacant land around the city,
suitable site could be secured for a
camp.
Further, that the light well, at the
exposition building, be f1OOred over,
and that all competitions, except artil-
lery drills, be held there, thus enabling
the exposition to reap the full benefit of
the undertaking. There is no doubt
that the city of Minneapolis would re-
ceive more benefit from money spent in
this way than it would by bringing any
one regiment in the country to the city.
Since Mr.. Regan's letter came out l
have head the following comments
upon it:
Adit. Gen. Mullen said that the letter
contained sound sense, and that the
scheme would be a good one for the
militia of this state.
Capt. Ed S. Bean-What do they
want to bring regiment from New
York for? We have better regiment
and better companies than they can pro-
duce in New York state.
Capt. Chantler-It is a good idea, and
would bring the best companies in the
country to Minneapolis.
would make the companies in this state
work.
Col. Bend-I told the committee that
/ would be pleased to help entertain
the Thirteenth New York; but think
it would pay better to have competi-
ton drill and get companies here from
all over the Union, than to have only
one regiment on exhibition.
Capt. Waters of Company d said that
the idea was good one, and that the
national guard of this state would gain
more benefit than they could by trip
tOsNew York.
Capt. Gaus-I like the scheme. 1t will
do the city more good than bringing
any one regiment here.
Capt. Amory-There is sound sense
in that letter. 1t will do the exposition
and city more good as an advert ,ement
than anything else. From military
point of view, it will do the militia in
estimable benefit. e. NJ. l..

WHY BE RECKLESS /?
A Conservative View of the Pro

9 A Conservative View of the Pro-
II posed City Library Building.
To the Editor of the Globe.
/ notice that the newspapers of the
city all seem to refer to the supposed
cost of the grounds and building for our
city library as s35O.OOO and that figure
is persistently set forward as the one
thing to be attained.
- / am inclined to think that this figure
was pitched on hap-haZard by the gen.
tleman who has been most conspicuous
in urging the scheme, and that it is not
based on any careful estimates or cal
culatiOns as to what sum is actually
necessary for a site and building. And,
moreover, it is grossly excessive in
amount. l advance the proposition that
site and building for the purpose can
be furnished for sum not exceeding
$4,000, and perhaps within 100000.
No one can deny, who knows the price
purchased for $4,000, or $4,000 at the
most. And it can be also shown that
building, fully suitable for the wants
of our city library, and adequate to its
needs for years to come, can be erected
for $4,000 or $4,000, and that it has
been done for less than that amount in
a number of American cities.
| mention this to show that the secur-
ing of public library building is not q
hopeless scheme. but Is within our
reach, at present, provided that the
reckless estimates of persons who insist
that it will cost $3.50, 1000 are weighed for
what they are worth.

The Relations of Secretary Villas
and Commissioner Oberly Are
Strained.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE question
of timber cutting on the. Chippewa re-
servations within the La Pointe agency
was expected to come up before sub
committee of the committee on Indian
affairs to-day, but Indian Commissioner
Oberly's inability to present the desired
correspondence caused a postponement
until Thursday. Al interesting state
of affairs is said to exist in the interior
department over this matter. When
Indian Commissioner Oberly took
charge of affairs, he directed a
suspension of all contracts for cut
ting timber on the reservation,
but Secretary Villas, it is alleged. over
ruled the commissioners order, where
upon very sharp letter was sent to his
superior officer by Mr.. Oberiy. Last
spring, after an investigation of the
timber cutting contracts, Agent Greg
DRY resigned, to take effect when his
successor was nominated and confirmed.
The successor was not named until this
session of congress, and the nomination
has not been reported upon. Commits
Sioner Oberly has recommended to the
secretary that Gregory be removed and
his Office be administered by special
agent of the department, but no action
has yet been taken on the recommended
alton. In consequence. it is said the re-
lations between the secretary of the in
terror and the commissioner of Indian
affairs are somewhat strained.

JAPAN,s CONSTITUTION.

Although but little notice has been
taken of it. that was great event in the
progress of civilization which occurred
in Japan yesterday. We refer to the
formal and official PRONUNCIATION of
constitution for the empire. Thus
Japan has the distinction of being the
first Asiatic country to adopt constitu-
tional government, and it must be with
considerable degree of pride this
country notes the event. for the result
is due entirely to American influences.
The United States being the first coun-
try to establish commercial relations
with Japan, there has always existed re-
markable frendiiness between the two
countries, and the japanese have more
and more become enam0red with our
political institutions, until now we
find them adopting our American ideas
of government as nearly as can be done
and yet retain the ancient form of inn
perialism. The constitution yesterday
promulgated in Japan is mainly a
copy after the American and British
constitutions. and is the fruit of
Count ITo's careful study and obser-
vations, during several years. of our own
system and the political institutions of
the leading European countries. The
emperor Of Japan has surrounded him
self with cabinet of his wiSest states
men, who have rendered valuable sery-
ice in the preparation of this constitu-
ton. Although officially promulgated
yesterday as the constitution of the
empire, it will not go into practical
operation till a year hence, when the
parliament-congress meets and enacts
the necessary legislation to carry the
provisions of the constitution into
effect. The pariament-congress will
consist of two houses. the lower or pop
ular branch being composed of repre-
sentatiyes elected by the people, and
the upper branch consisting of the
hereditary lords of the empire. with the
addition of those who have gained
peculiar distinction in the civil or mill
tary service of the empire. Japan'S ex-
pertinent in constitutional government
will be watched with peculiar interest
by the people of this country, for it is
the first fruit from the planting of
American freedom Oh ASiatic soil.
