a Very Popular Nomination.

The nomination Of Mr.. Stevenson for Vice
President was a surprise. He had hardly
been thought Of for that position outside Of
a few men IN his own state. His nomina-
ton, however, is proving to be very pop
ular one. The more the people learn OF his
character, his private life and public record
the better they are pleased that be is on the
/ ticket with Mr.. Cleveland.
! There is no doubt that Mr.. Stevenson is in
! every respect worthy Of the high honor that
! has been conferred upon him. Even his po-
liticaI opponents admit this. He has the
ability to I'LL any office, aud those who
know him best in the city IN which he lives.
and those in other parts of the country who
have been brought into contact with him,
seem to feel that they cannot say too much
in his praise.
And he is the kind of q democrat that
democrats delight TO honor. He has never
left the ranks Of the party and he has never
lost faith IN the principles Of the Democratic
party.
He is not a spokesman. as some would ike
to make the country believe. Last Satur-
day, in the presence OF a number of gentle
men who were calling upon him, young
man tapped him rather Familiarity on the
shoulder and said: ITO the victors belong
the spoils." Turning to the young man
Mr.. Stevenson said: THAT is not my
sentiment. believe that the administra-
ton is responsible to the people for
all the acts Of the officers of the
government, and that. therefore, the
offices should be filled by friends
Of the administration, and that the men
who conduct the administration Of public
affairs, and who are responsible for them,
should have the selection OF their subordi-
mates" He undoubtedly believes in civil
service reform-that the occupants of the
tens of thousands OF minor offices should be
removed for cause only. What the people
demand is good service from its servants,
and the best servants are, as a rule, those
trained in the public service. But Mr..
Stevenson believes that the important
offices, those closely connected with the
administration Of the government. should
be filed by friends of the administration.
The more the nomination of Mr.. Steven
son is discussed the stronger the opinion be-
comes that 1t Is wise one.

An Interview With Cleveland.

These Buffalo people tell very funny story
about Grover Cleveland and one of their saloon
keepers whom he knew in the old days when he
was Buffalonian, says a Chicago special in
the New York sun. 1t seems that this saloon
keeper, Louis Goetz, called on Cleveland in the
Broad street law office the other day. 1t also
seems that he does not speak English very
well. This is how Louis tells what happened:
Il vent to the door" said he, land man
wants my card. l didn't got any card, except
one about my saloon so, anyway gave dot to
him.
He goes away und comes back right away

How Stone Lost His Leg.

Gen. Stone. one OF Kentucky's popular repre-
sentatiyes in congress, is short leg. For some
reason, best known to himself, he will not wear
a cork article, nor even wooden one so he
walks around with the aid of crutches, says the
New York Press. This fact, in addition TO his
big stature, make him very conspicuous indi-
viduaL Among those who were attracted to
him few days ago was a pretty young miss
from st. Louis. Her curiosity at once began to
work, but no one could tell where the general
had lost his leg. In despair she waited for the
general 10 leave the hail. and like a fash she
sped after him.

him, may speak to you moment?n
The general, obnging as usual, nodded and
withdrew into a window recess.

began, but want to know how you lost your
leg"

The Edwsrd Bethany idea of national
ownership Of all enterprises, and the DR..
Rainsford idea of church ownership of
liquor saloons, have been improved upon by
South Dakota man. He proposes that
the municipal corporation of Sioux City
shall become a saloon~keeper. with him
self as partner. He claims that his plan
is perfectly feasible and legal under the
prohibition law. The number of dis
pensaries would be governed by the terri
tory TO be covered, after the style of post
Offices. He claims the result to the city
would be an income of $4,000 per year.
So sure is he of the success OF the plan that
he offers to put up the money necessary to
make the experiment and turn the business
over to the city" The peculiar part Of it
is, the city council is disposed to let the city
go into the dispensing of cocktails. A COM
mittee has been appointed to investigate.
The state constitution does not forbid the
sale Of liquor by Corporations" and if the
state attorney advises that the state con-
stitution can be stretched to include NUM-
oipal corporations, Sioux City may become
q retail liquor dealer.

The greed OF certain government contrac-
tors is about to cause the old Chickamauga
battlefield to again come into notoriety as
place of bloodshed. A large force Of laborers
are working on improvements to the
National park there. The contractors agreed
to furnish unskilled labor at 81 10 day,
and recruited negroes from Alabama, whom
they promised to pay 81 day. But when the
negroes arrived at the place they were in
formed that they would be paid but 80
cents q day, and that they must rent
shanties and purchase supplies from the con-
tractors. Half OF the recruits went on
strike, and the white workmen support them
in it. The contractors have purchased a
lot of Winchester rifles and distributed
them among the S0-cent men who remain at
work and If the strikers make any demon
stration there will be another battle on the
Chickamau ga field.

The county of Sumter is in line for the
democracy from the national ticket all the
way down to the bottom Of the list. The
mass meeting held at Americas on Saturday
was composed largely Of men who had

third party demands. But the meeting, in
hearty, sound democratic resolutions, in

Sumter's loyal support to the democratic

Protection that Does Not Protect.
Erorr, the Piftsburn Post dam \

The iron workers OF the country have had
powerful object lesson in the way of a demon
straton of tue fact that the wages they get is not
due to the high tariff policy of the Republican
party, but to their own organization. The Mo
Knley bill raised the average of the so called
protective tariff from 43 to 90 per cent. yet the
iron workers have been asked to accept a reduc-
ton of wages ranging from 20 to go per cent
AS one of the beneicent results of a high tariff
how is this for high? IL is poor rule that
that won't protect the employed as well as the
employer. Why should workingmen vote to
uphold protective policy that does not pro-
tect themf

there is some talk of proposition for fusion

this as the most important convention in
the history of the party.

The simple pulling Of a signal lever
would have prevented that fearful railroad
disaster at South Harrisburg on Saturday.
But the lever was not pulled, and eleven
lives are what the neglect cost. The opera
tor whose duty it was to watch this especial
train to see that it got through safely was
entertaining some friends in his signal
tower at the time, and Gisobeyed the rules
IN order to show them what good Judgment
he had. He judged that the first section Of
the western express had left the block and
that 1t would be safe to turn the second
second section on it, 30 he left his "clear"
signal set. The disaster which followed
proved the folly Of depending upon ''judg-
ment" IN the running of railroad trains
when explicit rules are provided for the
operators guidance.

Artesian irrigation.

A census bulletin, devoted to artesian
wells for irrigation in the 'subhumid"
states of the west, has just been issued. At
the time the census was taken. two
years ago. there were S,097 such wells on
farms in the western half Of the United
States, extending throughout the central
portion of Texas Western Kansas, Eastern
Nebraska and the two Datotas. The aver
age cost of these wells was S245 So. In
round numbers the capital invested in erte-
sian wells was S2,0O0,O0 The total area
irrigated was 81, 500 acres, at a cost of lit
tie over $35 per acre. These wells are not
for irrigation only. but the water is used
for general purposes. The figures OF cost
relate only to successful attempts to bore
for water. The amount expended in fail
ures was not ascertained, but Is presumed
to aggregate very nearly as much as the
amount expended on the flowing wells.
The bulletin does not make an encourage
ing showing for borers of artesian wells in
the west. 1t finds that the waters invari-
ably contain salts that are Injurious to vege-
tatlon unless special care is taken 70 pre-
vent the salts crusting upon the SURFACE of
the ground after irrigation. The most en-
couraging results found by the census takers
were noted in the eastern part of South
Dakota along the James valley to the Mis-
sissippi river, in which region it is said to
be highly probable that artesian irrigation
for farming will be profitable. There is
very little information in the bulletin that
can be applied to the southern states. Well
borers in this section of country must gain
by experience.

Wherever it is possible il is proposed to take

Judge Gresham and the Third Party
1t Is scarcely probable that Judge
Gresham would accept the nomination for
President from thsI third party. Although
he is ambitions and feels that the Republican
party has not been as kind to him as be
thinks it Oughto have been, he would hardly
make the mistake Of Becoming the leader of
party thaHhas no chance whatever for
success. Thshonor Of a nomination would
be an empty one, and the fact that he was
presidential candidate would be forgotten
almost as soon as the campaign was over.
Judge Gresham does not believe in the
most important demand of the third party
the sub-treasury demand. Without that it
would be difficult to hold a very consider
able number Of alliancemen IN the third
party.
Judge Gresham wouldn't be as strong
candidate as the third party could nomi-
nate. He is popular in the west, but it is
doubtful If the third party in the south
would regard him with favor. Southern
men would look upon him as q republican,
and they wouldnet be mistaken. He Is
republican and is not likely to be anything
else. He may favor some of the third party
demands but'thsy are minor ones.
II he should be the third party candidate
that party would hurt the Republican party
much more than the Democratic party, be-
cause in the west great many republicans
who are not cofnected with the third party
would vote for him. Very few democrats
would do SO, however, for the reason that
he is not favorite with them. He might
get enough votes In Illinois, Iowa and Mich
igan to give those states to the democrats.
But, as already stated, he would not bs
q particularly strong third party candidate
not strong enough in the 80 nth TO endan-
ger democratic success in any southern
ttate.
The third party, however, is much more
likely to nominate Gen. Weaver than Judge
Gresham. Gen. Weaver has helped to work
up the third party to its present strength,
and he accepts the whole of tho platform
adopted at st. Louis. His views, relative to
financial matters, suit the third party peo-
pie exactly, and the demand for more and
cheaper money is. after all the only thing
that gives that party any vitality. Weaver
is the man for the third party, not Gresham.

Gable dispatches published yesterday tell
of the further ravages Of cholera in Contra
Asia. where the most primitive methods Of
sanitation still prevail. Indeed, among the
good Mussulmansn no sanitary precautions
are ever taken. The faithful" in time of
pestilence, spend most of their time in
prayer to Allah, If it be his will, to saw
them from the scourge; but they never
lift finger to save themselves. The causes
of disease may be apparent on every hand,
but no true Mussulman ever offers an af-
front to Allah by meddling with what he
considers the affair of the deity.
