HOPS IN LONDON.

In ar.Other column we print long
letter frosu NJ H. burst, formerly OF
Wheatland, Cal, but now of London,
in which he denounces Horst Bros. OF
that city for bearing the hop market.
Mr.. bursts position would be a strong
one but for the fact that he fails to show
who is at fault, whether 1t is the con-
signor or the commission merchant. He
does not allege that the latter has not
been authorized by the former to sell
the hops at any price he can.
If the consignors to the London firm
complained of are to take Mr.. burst s
advice, then he should stand in with
them and not try to sell his crop unless
they have a share of the market. If
they are going to limit the sale Of hops
in the London market in order to raise
the price, then each grower should share
a proportionate sacrifice or advantage.
That is exactly what Mr.. bursts sug-
gestions lead to.

is blossoming also for still larger and

memories of the hope that she would
respect the rights of spectators of both

1t is learned, however, that the decree
has gone forth that the hat shall not be
removed, and there Is nothing left
therefore but to grin and bear it. We

had tipped over a spittoon in the bar
room. She nudged her husband, and
told him there was some one in the
house. Both listened intently for sew
eral moments, but, as there was no
sound to be heard Curtin said that 1t
was probably a mouse that made the
noise. Mrs. Curlin, who is not unlike
other women, had her own ideas of
what the noise was and replied that
it must have been a pretty big mouse
to make so much noise. Curtin want
ed to go to sleep, and tried to quiet
his wife's fears, but Mrs. Curtin in
sisted that she had heard some one
tiptoeing across the floor of the saloon
not be the cat. Curtin said 1t was not
possible, as before he locked up the
house he had turned the feline out
the door. This only made Mrs. Curtin
more alarmed and positive that there
was some one moving about the bar
room. She said she was not afraid
to get up, and suggested that If her
husband would take his revolver she
would take small lamp which was
burning on a dresser near the bed and
they could satisfy themselves as to
whether things were all right or not

managed to make fair living. The
saloon occupied the front part of the
building, and Curtin, with his wife,
brother-in-law and a hired man, lived
in wing which had been built on the
side of the saloon
Saturday night Curlin closed the
place about midnight and went to his
bedroom, which is on the ground floor,
with his wife. They retired soon after.
Curtin, as he stepped into bed, placing
a revolver under his pollow. He took
this precaution for the reason that two
weeks ago Saturday night an attempt
was made by burglars to enter the
house through the bedroom window.
The burglars were. however, fright
ened away, and only succeeded In re-
moving the screen from the window
when Mrs. Curtin heard the noise. The
following day Curlin secured a revolv-
er, and every night placed it under
his pillow.
What money Curtin had was kent
in box in the bedroom up to the time
that an attempt was made to enter
the house. Since then his cash has
been kept by Mrs. Curlin, who made
a small bag and hung 1t around her
neck, and in this receptacle the money
was placed each night on retiring.

WHY HoKE SMITH RESIGNED.
Had Pledged Himself to Stand By
the Party.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The news
that Secretary Hoke Smith had re
signed and that his resignation had
been accepted by the president created
a considerable stir in political circles
here today, although the proba bility
of Mr.. Smiths retirement had been, in
a measure, anticipated ever since his
paper, the Atlanta Journal, declared
that it would support Bryan
and Sewall. Mr.. Smith still declined
to discuss the subject today, but it is
known that the personal relations be-
tween the president and Mr.. Smith have
in nowise been disturbed. Mr.. Smiths
resignation, his friends say, grew out
OF differences with his chief on uues-
tions of party policy and his delicate
desire not to embarrass the president
at such time. Beyond the question
of his conception of party loyalty in
acquiescing in the will of the majority.
Mr.. Smith during his campaign for the
gold standard in Georgia against ex-
Speaker Crisp had given a personal
pledge that he would, If defeated, sup
port the nominees of the convention.
AS an honorable man his friends saw
he felt it his duty to redeem that
pledge. He informed the president Of
his position and intentions and to avoid
embarrassments placed his resignation
Cleveland demonstrated The CORE
spondence on the subject, If published,
would no doubt be very interesting,
but 1t is doubtful whether it will ever
be given out. 1t can be stated, how
ever, with great positiveness that the
step which Secretary Smith felt him
self compelled to take has not in any
way affected the warm regard the
president and Mr. Smith entertained
for each other. There has been a good
deal Of gossip about Mr.. Smiths sue
cessor today 1t seems altogether un-
likely that John M. Reynolds, the as
sistant secretary, will be promoted. 1t
is regarded as much more probable that
a new man will be selected, probably
from the Midl9le West, Indiana, Illi-
nois or Missouri. The names of ex-
Gov. Francis, of Missouri; ex-Congress-
man Bynum, of Indiana, and ex-Con-
gresham Ben Gable, of Illinois, are
those around which gossip most per-
sistently clings. All are pronounced

NATTER OF COURTESY.
State Senator Chase Explains Mr.
HIPS Invitation.

HIPS Invitation.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Fornner
Senator Norton Chase chairman of the
Democratic city committee. was asked
today whether he knew anything about
the story that Mr. Bryan was to be en-
tertained by Senator Hill at Wolfert' g
Roost while in Albany. Mr.. Chase
said: Yes. AS matter of personal
courtesy to the distinguished visitor to
Albany, Senator Hill. through the com
nittee, has invited Mr. Bryan and his
wife and few personal friends to dine
with him at Wolferts Roost on Tuesday
afternoon, and Mr.. Bryan has accepted
the invitation
Asked whether Senator Hill would
preside at the meeting to be held In
City Hall square, when Mr.. Bryan
makes speech Mr.. Chase said: "The
meeting is to be very simple in it's
character and Of brief duration. Mr..
Bryan will not speak for more than
half an hour, and possibly not longer
than twenty minutes Almost inmedi-
ately after he finishes it will be neces-
sary for Mr.. Bryan to start for the
railroad station. The people will be
anxious only to hear the Democratic
candidate for president No one could
address so large multitude in advance
of Mr.. Bryan with advantage. and
after he concludes his address it is
likely that every one will wish to shake
Mr.. Bryan's hand, so there will be so
much confusion we think 1t impossible
to have a speaker follow him While
the citizens of Albany are always de-
lighted to hear the distinguished fellow
tOwnsman. Senator Hill, the committee
of arrangements does not think it best
to ask Senator Hill to preside at this
time"

noon to see the candidate and were in

former District Attorney Mccormick,
of Columbia county. Among the other
callers were A. B. Reeder, Of New

Mr.. Bryan's attention avs called to-

ourselves of the opportunity to see the

association Is non-partisan and the

the National Democratic convention.
He doesn't want it, and mentions sew
eral other good men, but says if they
will not take it he will, even if he
knows 1t will lead him to the stake.
Henry is something of hero.
