look 10 us to be in that same posi-
ton. They have made violent
love. to prohibition for years.
They have declared their passion
and devotion and called on heaven
and earth to witness the height,
the depth, the profnndity of their
love. Prohibition has fallen into
their arms and they seem disposed
to let her drop. There has not
been a symptom of the ecstatic
happiness we expected. No. a bell
has ruug, not a bonfire has blazed.
Not a single caress has been bes-
towed. The reception has been as
cold and flat and limp as an
oyster a week out of water. If
there is any genius of prohibition
floating anywhere around she
must feel that she has struck a
remarkably chilly atmosphere.
Our friends should brace up
and make some demonstrations
out ofsimple politoness.-Green-

Politics In Arkansas.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, May 21.-A
special 10 the Times-Democrat from
Little Rock, Ark, says: The State
central committee of the Peoples
party of Arkansas met in this city
to-day, with twenty-five members
present. The sentiment Of the
committee is strongly against
fusion, and it was decided to call
a State Convention for July 19, to
meet in this city, to put out a fall
State ticket. 1t is estimated that
fifty counties will put out Populist
county tickets.
A special to the Times Democrat
from Little Rock, Ark, says: The
State Prohibition Convention met
in this city to-day. The Conven-
ton was organized by electing
Judge S. w. Nelson, of Rogers,
chairman, and Mrs Mary D.
Springer, of Little Rock, secretary.
A roll of delegates was taken a
new State central committee elect
ed and committees on platform
and nominations were appointed
when an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.

State Convention will be called. A
full State ticket will be put in the

can afford to be generous. A con-
tinuance of bitterness and re-
vikings cannot give you any
further advantage. Then rise above
passion and prejudice and, while
you hold to your own opinions, al
low those of your neighbors OF
different views to dc likewise.
To the Conservatives we would
say: If you are right you should of
all men desire the allaying
of passion and the rule of pure
reason. Then by your acts, your
conservatism, your wisdom, your
prudence, your upholding of the
laws show to the other side that
you are the side of all these things.

The Prohibition Muddls,

The Columbia State.
Every one is watching now to
see what move the prohibitionists
are going to make against the
liquor deolers. 1t is said that a
member of the State Prohibition
committee called on the Attorney
General yesterday and held a
conference with him. 1t is thought
that this was done with view to
getting the State to take a hand,
but the result was not known. 1t
is said that the Prohibitionists are
having all of the places which
have United States liquor licenses
carefully watched and they now
have long string of witnesses.
The fun is liable to begin at any
moment.

The Locust Scare.

The Washington Department of
Agriculture has issued bulletin
on the approaching prevalence of
locusts in some portions of the
country. This bulletin says that
no unnecessary alarm need be
felt on account of the predicted ap-
pearance of two great broods of
the periodical Cicada, Or so called
"17-year locust this year.
The announcement that they
were to appear in various parts OF
the country this year was made a
short time ago, and the bulletin
says that the insects seem to have
been confoundcd with the true
locusts, or 50 called 'grasshorpers'
and hence the alarm
The entomlogist of the depart
ment says that the damage done
by these insects is, as a rule, quite
immaterial, consisting in the
slight cutting, breaking, and dead
ening of the terminal twigs OF
fruit and shade trees by the
females in the act of laying their
eggs. The injury becomes serious
only when the insects are excep-
tionally numerous. According to
the e1tomologist's reckoning these
insects will make their appearance
during the last week of this month
The last appearance OF these
brood, was in 1877. 1t occurred in
the immediate vicinity of New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City,
and along the Hudson river as far
north as Troy, and in portions OF
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia and the District
of Columbia.
Seventeen years prior to 1877
the insect was recorded in North
Carolina, in Dearborn county. Ind,
and in Kalamazoo county, Mich
In all of these localities it is said
that the 17-year locust may be ex-
pected during June of the present
wear. The other brood which is
to appear this year belongs to the
13-year race, and its range is IN
the southern states.
It's last appearance was in 1881,
in southern Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas, Indian Territory,
Louisiana, kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. The entomologist of the de-
partment says that this visitation
of locusts will not last more than
FIVE or six weeks"

In the cours: of human events
there was once q man who made
violent love to q reigning belle,
chiefly because it was faehion-
able and proper thing to do. He
succeeded in working up quite a
strongly developed sentimental
feeling for her and al last when

devotion. To his astonishment and
dismay she accepted him promptly
effusively and without reserve. He
was not a marrying man-had no

The Barnwell People says: Here
IS the way melon grower raises
seedless melons. When the vines
are two or three feet long he
covers them at the joints; where
the leaves come out with earth. In
a week or so they take root at
those joints. He then cuts off the
vine between the first joint and
the parent stem and the new rooted
vines do the rest, and the seedless
melons are the result.

The Great Futu rltY.

BROOKLYN, August 25.--The
Autumn meeting of the Coney Is
land Jockey club begins today and
continues, to include TIL ursday,
Sept. g. The stake feature of the
opening day will be the fam Gus
Futurity stakes, for which nearly
all the prominent twO-year-olds
are eligible, including Walter,
keenan,, Prince of Monaco, But
terflies, California, Gutta Percha,
Connoisseur, Handsome, BriOsa,
Manchester, Rey del Coredes and
Counter Tenor. The value of the
stake, which compares we'll with
those previously run, will be
worth nearly $4,000 to the winner,
between $4,000 ana 5000 to the Sc
cond, and about $4,000 to the third.
The tuturity promises to be an
unusually open race. The calibre
of the field may be judged from
the fact that it is probable Gideon
& Days Butterflies Will be the
favorite. Butterflies is unquestion-
ably FLY of the highest class, but
she is a FLY and she is lame, and
it speaks but poorly for the class of
the seasone colts when lame FLY
is conceded to be better than any
of them. The dark blue appears
to hold an unusually strong hand
in this stake. Beside Butterflies,
who may not go to the post, they
have Walter and Keenan,. AL
though Walter will be pretty well
steadied with l27 pounds up, he is
a speedy little fellow and is in fine
condition. Keenan, has disappoint-
ed the stable so often that nothing
definite can be said about him. 1t
would be unprecedented in The his
tory of the stake if Gideon & DAILY
should repeat their success with
His Highness and once more place
the richest stake on the turf to
their credit. The victory would be
a popular one, as the horses from
this stable carry more public
money than any other horses on
the turf. 1t looks now as if the field
would be composed of not less than
fifteen.
