there. The melons brought here cost
very little but the freight and could he

small, and do not keep well. The In

this market this year. The Hoosiers
raise fine melons and give them good
care. They keep well and are nearly
all as large and solid rs the Gc lrgia

S3j thousand while the river melons
cost from SIS TO $50, leaving very
small difference for individual melons.
Very few river melons are offered here,

comes the strange charge that these

collect these taxes. This is refreshing
Indeed, as If the law compelled the
collectors to rummage all through the

These Democrats know very well

Senators PETER of Kansas and Kyle
OF South Dakota were in the Senate a
day or two before the adjournment,
and the Democrats were very anxious
10 get them to select seats on the
Democratic side of the chamber. This,
however, they persistently declined to
90, choosing rather to sit at least with
thpse with whom they had always be-
fore affiliated. When Senator PETER
WAS asked IL he would vote as no sits,
he replied: Sometimes. am going
to vote my convictions; the location
with the workings OF my conscience"
This is about the right kind of talk,
and may mean that while taking an
independent course, he may be OK
X pected to be often found voting with
( the side from which he received his
<anliest training in politics.
The same may be said of Senator
Kyle, whose vote will no doubt be
more frequently given TO the Republi-
cans than to the Democrats. Neither
81 them will caucus with the old party,
but will act on the free lance principle.
This pair OF independent Western Re-
& pnblicans will no doubt be increased

figures yet, though over 14O ballots

Palmer, the Democratic candidate,
once or twice reached 102 but there
was always one lacking. Oglesby, the
Republican candidate, has been coaxed

Farmers Alliance men have held the
balance of power firmly on a very
small margin but they have made no
mistake. All the Republicans but
seven had been won over to streeter,
