farmers and certainly hold steadfast the
Republicans of the States of Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas and certain of the States where the
Farmers Alliance is organized and aggres-

Whitelaw Reid as Rusk's Running Mate
Of course, the nomination of Rusk for
the first place would turn eyes Eastward for
Vice Presidential candidate, and when the
name OF the Secretary of Agriculture is
mentioned for the first place it is generally
in conjunction with that of Hon. Whitelaw
Reid or some other prominent New Yorker,
for Vice President.
So far as can be observed, the Wisconsin
friends of Mr.. Rusk are making no effort
whatever in behalf of his candidacy, evil

A reaction occurred this morning, when
National Committeeman De Young, also a
member of the delegation, received tele-
gram advising him that the State Central
Committee had passed resolutions declaring
it to be the overwhelming sentiment of the
people of the Golden State that J. G. Blaine
should be selected as the standard bearer.
The result of this telegram was the issuing
of call for meeting of the California del

his sojourn in the country is fiatcar,
and the sylvan retreat where he finds
sure game is the sweltering basin of a
gravel pit.
If this earth affords hotter place,
under the scorching beams of an Au-
gust sun, than the glittering bed of a
gravel pit, where even a fair breeze
cannot be felt, and the stones and
gravel reflect and intensity the heat,
then neither the Italian nor your cor
respondent has found it!
But these knights of the shovel and
pick did not seem to realize the intense
heat, as they jabbered in musical tones
and heapcd the hatcars with clean
gravel, in the big pit at Geneva, H.,
or leaned on their shovels, waiting for
a loaded train to pull out and an empty
to back in. They were as jolly as a
crowd of picnickers and far more polite
than as many excursionists.
The superintendent of the pit is a
brawny, good natured American, who
gave his orders, through his Italian in
terpreter, in prompt, decided way
which commanded instant obedience
from the shovelers. The interpreter is
usually the assistant superintendent or
"boss'' of the pit and is very important
man, both in times of peace and war.
The latter occasions are, fortunately,
not very frequent and are generally the
result of feuds between the opposing
cliques into which large bodies of men
seem to inevitably crystalline when
thrown into the constant intimacy of
camp life. Inquiry among the villagers
who live nearest the camp developed the
universal verdict that the laborers are
honest, orderly and quiet and give no
trouble or annoyance. Although the
entire cooking of the camp is done with
| fuel which the laborers CLEAN from the
fields and along the railroad tracks,
| they are careful not to CLEAN anything
| but discarded fuel. But every dead
| limb or waste bit of lumber in the vi
| cinity of the camp is jealously foraged.
| On Sunday the camp presents most
lively and striking picture. 1t is uni
versal wash day-in fact every chore of
domestic kind that can be postponed
during the week is left to be done on
the Sabbath. From daylight till dark
the nearest brook or pond is alive with
these darS-slsinncd, soft-voiced sons OF
ancient Rome, who jabber a babel of
liquid talk, mingled with the merriest
of laughter, as they wash themselves
and their c,othing, The heavy rains of
this season have flied the bitches with
running streams. The water is not as
clear as Waukesha, but it is very handy
TO the camp. These streams also pos
sess another advantage which seems to
be thoroughly appreciated by the Ital-
ians. Although the banks of the
bitches are rather steep, they are near
enough together to allow man with
ordinarily long legs to straddle the
stream, bend his head down between his
legs us though about to stand on his head
and wash his face in the water below
him. 1t is Il ludricous sight to look up

Some Observations that Apply Particularly
to the Maidens OF Washington State.
1t used to be said that there were two
things which a woman could not do;
one was to run, the other to throw
stone. Up to the last century she had
not learned to do the latter feat, but at
the former she was an adept. Those
who doubt may be convinced if some
wet morning they will take IL street car
and observe the young ladies come
down the cross streets just second or
two later than they intended to be- On
these occasions they will be tolerably

back, and never Il trace of waddle. The
observer feels that the fair creature is
dressed in shoes and garments that do
not pinch, and when she takes her seat
in the car, breathing as gently as a
baby, he is apt, in his years number
couple of score or more, to sigh inward
ly for the time when he could run
block or a dozen of them and have
breath enough left to keep him from
gasping. The last generation of girls
could not run. They were told it was

thing else to do so. They We're for

Evenings and Sunday afternoons the
men sit about in the rough sod kitchens
which surround the main building, or,
stretched on the grass, smoke their
pipes, mend their clothes and tell
stories of the sunny land which they
have left behind them.
Another domestic duty which requires
much of their time is the preparation of
macaroni. The dough for this is given
an amount of kneading which would
discourage an American housewife if
she were required to mold" her bread
to the same extent.
Only the more shiftless members Of
the camp find any time for idlencss or
leisure as long as daylight lasts; but
when the dusk comes, care and fatigue
seem to slip readily from all, and sing
ing, and organ and bagpipe playing put
them in as gay spirits as though they
had money in the bank instead of being
obliged to shovel gravel at Sl.25 for ten
hours. Sometimes, when the demand
for this class of labor is strong and the
supplies scarce, they get sl.50-but
more frequently the former. Some of

When 'settlcd weather" begins in the
spring, the Italian portions of Chicago
become suddenly deserted by most of
the men, and the dusky women and
children are left to come and go at their
own pleasure, carrying their bundles of
rags and sticks upon their heads. Only
an occasional old man, too feeble to
longer fear the burden in the heat of
the day, and those who have become
established in some line of the mendi-
cant profession which keeps them in
the city throughout the year, remain to
keep the chattering women and chill
