There is always plenty to bother man
who tries to enter dissenting opinion
to the orthodox mode of thought, even if
it is only in the matter of summer va
cation. A friend of mine few days ago
found himself supplied with vacation,
and desire to spend it at sea. A canvass
among the various steamship lines did
not give much satisfaction, and he de-
termined to engage passage on some sail
ing vessel-ishing boat preferred, and
go back to first principles. Bullinger
contained two or three advertisements,
each of which was just what he wanted,
so with pocketful of addresses he start
ed out to engage passage for weeks
trip. The first shipping agent he called
on calmly informed him that he was not
in communication with any masters of
sailing vessels, notwithstanding his ad-
yertisement to that effect. The second
said he would not sell passage with a
time limit of less than 30 days to provide
for calms and head-winds, although the
regular duration of the passage was three
days. In short, there was not sailing
master in the harbOr willing to take
passenger according to the agents. Fl
nally, the would-be sailor got "real mad,'
and brought pressure to bear by threat
ening an expose of the matter as false
advertisement, when he found that the
whole harbor was at his service. The
truth of the matter lay ina nut she'll
the agent is interested in preventing any
direct dealings between the ship master
and the outside world; therefore he is far
from willing to have passenger taken
who might cause diminutiOn of his
profits.

NEW YORK, August 4, 1891.
About 10000 people leave this city
between the 4th of July and the 18th of
September, and stay away during the hot
weather They represent the mOneyed
element that can afford the expenditure
of time and money. They go everywhere,
but are usually not more than four or five
hours from the City Hall. On fine days
10000 to 100000, other people go out for
the day, returning at night. Perhaps a
million citizens take their summer out
ing in this way. This transient daily ex-
odus is swelled by at least 25,OOO visitors
from all over the country, who come here
in June and stay until September, living
in town and going by day to the innu-
merable adjaceneies of the metropolis.
There is no such summer resort in the
world as New York City. Look at it.
We are on an island. There are rivers
on three sides of us; the Atlantic lies at
our feet, and its turbulent waves pour
around us daily. We have no excuse for
not keeping clean and sweet-nOne, that
is, except the tyranny of Tammany
Hall. 1t is sometimes very hot during
the day, but cool breezes come off the
water and sweep the island at night
And for the visitor from the interior. it
is actually cheaper to go out of the city
on any of the cheap excursions than to
stay at his hotel.

recently listened to good story about
Mr.. Charles Proctor the artist. Mr.. Proc
tor was born of rich, but honest and re-
spectacle parents, and is likewise ex-
tremely clever with pencil and brush.
Such rare combination results in many
orders for Mr.. Proctor that do not usual
ly fall to the lot of so young a man.
He recently painted the portrait of
the late lamented Mr.. Fessenden that
created considerable comment. The
background of the picture was the
face of the familiar ten-dOllar bill, re-
produced with true artistic skill. The
portrait was placed in the windows of
Broadway store, and was much admired.
A couple of admirers shortly afterward
called on the artist and inquired if it was
really his picture. "Fm the man., said
Proctor, with the hope of big order
lighting up his eyes.

Ed. INDEPENDENT: After an absence Of
nearly one year and myself back again in
Delta. Since leaving here have Travelled a
good deal in Colorado, besides trip back to
old Michigan, my native state, where spent
from October until March. enisye'i my
time .pent At Battle Cre-k, Mieh., where
was attending specisi course at the Battle
Creek College. Times in the east seemed
very tame to a man who has spent several
years in Colorado. 1t has been an open
winter in Michigan and scarcely any snow
but, Oh. dear, the mud aud and cloudy
weather made me think of the song, "We'll
stem the storm, it won't be very long" and
SO l stood ii, knowing the time was not very
far distant when | could return to my be-
loved Col. RADIO, the land Of sunshine. Since
my reurn have spent short time with my
family, ia Boulder, and then spent short
time in Custer county. and = couple Of weeks
in the San Luis valley. l must say, Delta is
the place for me. In all my travels have
not seen place to compare with this valley
for all purposes. Last fall. in going through
the state of Nebraska, iu the western part. it
made me heart-sick to see the crops, or
rather the lack Of crops, and in March when
1 returned there were scores sf the people
who took the train coming to COLORADO.
They told me that feed was SO scarce that
some had been forced to sell their cows for
Eve dollars head. While in the San Lui.
valley had many inquiries about Delta
county, and I see the praises of Delta has
reached that valley. talked with num-
Der who wanted tn get lower down where they

An Alleged Swiudle.

OMAHA, Nov. 24.-Brockman, the st.
Louis commission man, now asserts
that Brown Brothers, the broken Lin
coin grain dealers, swindled him out OF
$4,000. 1t seems incredible, but he
says it was all done within the period of
two or three weeks. The magnitude OF
the business may be inferred from the
fact that there were eighty-three cars of
grain on the track at Council Bluffs one
day recently. 1t is charged that the
swindling was done by means of manip-
ulation OF bills of lading, drafts, chang
ing of shipments, etc. The Browns,
however, deny the allegations OF fraud,
and assert that the tangle will be
Strengthened out if they are given a
chance. They threaten to sue Brock
man for $50, 900 damages.

requieition. Fox made application for
a writ Of habeas corpus. Judge Estell
found the proceedings irregular, and an
nounced that he could not hold Fox.
and that any attempt to rearrest the
prisoner in the court room would be
punished.
The United States marshal, the Cali
fornia detective, the Omaha sheriff and
half a dozen policemen went outside
and waited. The sheriff stationed him
self outside the door, and when Fox
came out he nabbed him and served a
writ OF habeas corpus returnable next
Friday. Fox is now in the county Jail.
The San Francisco officer states that he
will remain until spring before he will
return without his man. Deputy Lyon
is OF the opinion that eventually he will
slip wristlets over the hands of Fox,
and will do so by order of the United
States court.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 24.-The Repub-
lican national committee met this morn
ing and prepared formal call for the
next national convention. The COM
mittee then called on President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine, and were photo
graphed on the treasury steps. The
members of the Minneapolis convention
called at the state department this morn
ing and paid their respects to Secretary
Blaine. They then called on Acting
Secretary Grant in the war department,
and were photographed in group on
the north portico of that building.
The call was issued later. The docu-
ment simply sets forth that the conven-
ton will meet in Minneapolis, Minn.,
Tuesday, June Z, 1892, and proposes the
usual methods for choosing delegates.
The call is signed by Chairman Clark
son and Secretary Fassett.
An important step taken by the COM
mitsee was the reference to the execu-
tive committee, with full power to act,
of all matters connected with the
preparations for the next convention.
The executive committee decided to as
sumo active direction of the matter
itself and make all the arrangements.
Charming F. Meek, of Colorado, was
elected sergeant-at-arms OF the next
national convention.
A succinct statement by each member
of the committee Of the condition of the
party in his state was made. Ex-Gov-
ernor Pinchback, of Louisiana, varied
the sameness of the reports by indulg-
ing in fierce attack upon the white
Republicans OF the south, whom he held
responsible for the lack of virility OF
the party in that section, and charged
them with suppressing the negro vote
for fear of race issues. He held that
their pusillanimous policy resulted in
untold losses to the party, and main
tanned that few vigorous contests and
manifestations of their rightful power,
by the southern negroes, would have a
wholesome political effect and redeem
the southern states from Democracy.
At O'Clock the national committee
adjourned sine die. The executive COM
mittee will meet soon to arrange for the
convention.
