HILL ro 1HE REscUE.

Senator David B. Hill has at last &C
cepted the nomination of his party for
the Qovernorship of New York He was
the only hope of the Democracy of that
state. 1t was not possible to elect any
other Democrat and they knew it. To
Tammany it is more important that the
Democratic party should control the state
Of New York than that it should have a
majority in the United States senate. Dir.
Hill doubtless sees as the result Of
winning fight possible nomination for
the presidency. The man who can res
cue the Democracy of the Empire state
from impending defeat this year must
naturally stand first in the order Of sue
cession to the presidency 20 far as New
York is concerned and the state has al
ways welded great power in the party's
councils.
The contest between the two great
parties this year will in reality be
struggle between the two great party
bosses. That Levi r. Morton was nomi-
mated At the dictation Of Tom Platt is not
questioned All state issues and state
interests will be lost sight Of in the cam
paign. The struggle will be g deter
mine which set Of bosses shall boss.
Neither Mr.. Hill nor Mr.. Morton has ever
given any evidence Of statesmanship
which would entitle them to be placed
Mt the head Of affairs in a great state like
New York. Mr. Morton is not even an
able boss, but his friend Plat looks after
that He will have a decided advantage
over the senator among the intelligent
and respectable people but Hill. through
Tammany, will get the vote Of the slums
and the slum vote generally decides
elections in New York.
If Hill should be elected governor Of
New York this fall he can hardly be de-
feated for the nomination of his party
for the presidency in 1896.

Governor Lewelling was in Kansas

A Kansas City Times reporter, who
tried 10 interview the chief executive Of
Kansas. but the governor did not want to
be interviewed.
"What about the charges that have
been published in some Of the newspa-

s.W hat charges?" Here the governor
raised his eyebrows, as though surprised
at the question.

Of course seen the charges that the lot

ssO-h-hr' said the governor, as though
reminded of ancient history. Then be
smiled slig htly, shook his head, but said
nothing.
sWhat do you intend to do in regard to
the matterG" was the next question.
The governor smiled again. He
waved his hand in a deprecatory manner
and said:
Il don't think it is the proper time to
talk about that"
"But don't you think it is about time
you were saying something's"
The governor placed his hand upon
the reporters shoulder in a fatherly man
ner, and said:
II am not going to talk. A reporter
once said: Governor Lewelling has
locked up his interviewer and thrown
the key IN the we'll / believe he was
right
With this he passed out upon the plat
form, and no amount of questioning
could draw another word from him.

POMONA, Aug. 3.-The Kingsley tract

during last week the residents of that
populous district had to do without
water on account OF q curious accident.
Up near the artesian wells from which
the supply of water used in the Kings.
len tract is obtained. the roots Of pear
tree had grown through and entered the
six-inch cement Pipe, completely OBJ
structing the flow Of water. The re-
pairing of the pipe took two days, dur
ing which time the "old eettlers" had
to get along as we'll as they could with
out water. The pear tree roots we're
good hardy ones, too, notwithstanding
their contact with the cement pipe.
They were aome 16 feet below the sur
face, that being the depth the pipe was
laid when the ditch was dug in 1887.

RIPE MELONS.

The Methods by Which They Can BE
Selected.
There are few things more difficult
than for an inexperienced person to tell
when watermelon is ripe, says the Po.
mona Progress. An experienced picker
can select ripe melon at glance by
half dozen different indications which
make up the general appearance of the
melon, but not 60 with the novice.
Some persons, too-notably the mem
bers OF lhe colored race, who sre re-
puted to have an inherent weakness for
watermelons--can pick out ths ripe
melons by instinct on a dark night
and usually do their picking at that
luck in picking melons and get green as
this place that we know of who have
email melon patches can testify.
The shriveling or dying OF the "curl,"
or little tendril nearest to the melon, or
| in the sxil of the stem, is a usual, but
not a certain, sign OF ripensss. The
most reliable sign is In the appearance
of the pores OF the "belly' or under
surfacs of the melon, where it has been
in contact with the earth. When theee
pores become perceptible to the touch,
by roughness of the akin, or can bs
seen, they indicate ripeness of the
melon. This condition sets in when
the melon begins to ripsn. and ia one of
ths eurest indications of ripeness. If
the shelly" is yellow and blistered, the
melon is surely fully ripe. When the
rind has become too hard to be readily
!Nindented with the fngsr nail, melon
is usually ripe enough for shipment,
though not always fully ripe for eating.
Another test, the most common OF all,
ia that OF humping the melon and lis
tening to the sound, for a ripe melon
always sounds hollow; but this is not q
sure sign unless tried in the merning,
for during the hot midday Gun o large
unripe melon has the same resonancs
as ripe one, and many people get
fooled by this test. No inexperienced
person can select watermelons for eating
with much certainty as to ripeness, but
by paying attention to some of the
above mentioned signs he will soon be
| able to distinguish ripe from green fruit.
