AS They Would Like to See It.

The following from q Washington dis
| patch to the New York Sun is a sample of
the stuff that appears in the Washington
| dispatches of the anti-Cleveland papers:
at is said here that there is disposition
| on the part Of many persons hitherto con-
| spicuously identified with the Cleveland
| folly to hedge by forming combinations in
| favor OF various favorlte sons They are
| not quite ready to acknowledge their error
| of Judgment and come out for Senator Hill,
| but they see now that the logic of the situa-
ton points to the nomination of the candi-
| dale Of the united New York delegation,
and that it would be a stupenduous mistake
! to pit against Harrison the man who was
| beaten SO overwhelmingly by him four
| years ago. In order to avoid this disaster
| they are encouraging the notion of splitting
! up the first ballot as much as possible and
! throwing the votes Of their several states
| for Carlisle aud Morrison, or Palmer, Cor
| man, Boise and others in the hope that i'll
I the end the candidate who is really the
| strongest may be nominated and the weak
| est candidate of all eliminated from the
contest. The auti-Cleveland sentiment
among the southern and western democrats
is growing apace at the capital"
| The foregoing presents q condition of
affairs that the opponents of Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination would like to see, but which
does not exist. 1t is entirely safe to say
that no new recruits have been added re-
Gently to the opponents of Mr.. Cleveland.
! The few in Washington who are plotting to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland's nomination are the
| few who have been hostile to him ever since
the campaign for the nomination began
But what they say has very little effect.
Their purpose is well understood, and the
fact that no attention is paid to them makes
them all the more bitter against Mr. Cleve-
land and leads them to make statements
which have no foundation in truth.
Mr.. Clevelauds friends in Washington
are true to him now. as they have been all
along. They want him nominated for two
reasons One is they believe he is the
strongest candidate the Democratic party
can nominate, and the other is that il
elected he would give the country an adj
ministration of which the Democratic party
would be proud.

Changing Places With a Thief.

Here is bad Statement OF facts from the

either TO produce or to guarantee So francs, and
in consideration of that it came to a change of

Progressive Hammocking.

The young people in one OF st. Louis pref
test suburbs are in state of feverish excite
ment over q new game that has been devised by
some of the number. says the Globe Democrat.
1t IS called progressive mmocking," and is
SO full Of golden opportunities in a sentimental
way that IL is destined to become very popular
with the youth of both sexes.
A bright young girl. to whom. with several
others. is due the C edit OF having given this
new diversion to the world, thus describes it:
You see, each girl is provided with a ham,
mock in which she reclines. gracefully or I'M

The hammocks are hung far enough apart SO
that no one can see or hear her neighbors, and
above each is suspended Chinese lantern with
a number on it; but these. of course, will be
blown OUT early IN the proceedings, A chape-
ron Is required preferably two-a lady enG a
gentleman. To start the game the boys draw
numbers from a hat, and then each hunts up
the hammock which corresponds to the number
drawn AT given signal he begins to tell the
girl In It a love story. By the rules the story
must be impersonal.
But OF course they won't be. That" she
edded with laugh, lis matter that lies with
the story teller and bis conscience. Well, at the
end OF fifteen minutes the chaperon beats a
toIn-tom and the boys move up one hammock,
and each tells another story to a new listener.
The stories, mind you. must all be different
that is, one cannot tell the same story TO two
girls"
And they must all be love stories?" asked
the reporter.

A Short Melon Crop,

1t seems to be agreed that the Georgia
melon crop is a short one The drought
injured the vines greatly in nearly the
whole Of the melon section Of South Geor-
gia. and in portions of some counties en-
tirely killed them. Still IL only good melons
are sent to market prices will be much bet
ter than they would have been had the crop
been large one, and the majority of the
melon growers will be about as well off at
the end of the season.
The melons that have appeared in this
market are rather small. That of course,
is due to the drought. Better and larger
melons may be expected in week or two,
because there has been plenty of rain in the
melon growing counties recently.
AT the beginning of the planting season
this year it was said that the acreage would
be considerably reduced because the melon
growing business was overdone last year
and very few of the melon growers made
money. 1t is probable, however, that the
most experienced growers did not reduce
their acreage. They have found out that
the only way to make money In growing
melons is to send only hrst-class melons to
market. Inferior melons will not pay the
freight upon them and have the effect of
running the market for really good melons.
1t is impossible to estimate from the re-
ports that have been received to what ex-
tent the melon crop will be short, but il is
probable that the falling Off In the ship
ments will not be 50 great as it was at first
thought it would be.

Numerous contemporaries have asserted
the belief that the death of Col. L. L. Polk
means the disintegration of the Peoples
party. If they really believe any such
thing they are badly mistaken. Col Polk
was not, by far, the strongest man in the
movement. There are a dozen others left
who are as good organizers and as clever
leaders, if, indeed, they are not better at
both organizing and leading than he ever
was. A comparison between Polk and Jerry
Simpson. for instance, would be in Simp-
sons favor.

The bicycle is fast coming to be regarded
as something more than a costly toy. It is
being used more ard more by business men
as vehicle on which to do necessary short
distance travelling in cities, and even across
the country whom the country roads will
permit of it. Aud the bicycle riders, in
communities where there are a number of
them, have done much toward arousing the
public to the necessity OF making good
country roads. In Massachusetts, where
there are more bicycle riders, possibly,
than in any other state. the legislature has
been stirred up and has taken the initiative
in movement designed to bring about an
exhibition, on an extensive and elaborate
scale. at the worlds fair Of methods of road
making and samples of road-making
machinery. 1t is believed the exhibit will
teach the thousands of visitors what good

Seven young ladies who had been attend

graduating diplomas because they had en-
gagged in correspondence with certain young
men attending Lehigh College. The girls
cried little and then set about to "get

they did it: They say that he has been

kiss these seven but was refused the privil-
