Preparations at Pfiman GrOve.
The preparations for the opening of the
twenty. sixth annual camp meeting of
Pitman Grove are rapidly assuming
shape and the officers of the Association
are looking forward to a fortnight in the
woods that will far eclipse the scenes of
spirituality and rejoicing that character
lied the silver anniversary last year. Many
of the prominent pulpit orators and Bible
teachers who have exhorted the c0ttagers
in by-gone meetings are expected to be
in their accustomed places at the coming
camp, and about the same order of
exercises will be followed.
With the preparations under way for
the meetings the Association is not losing
sight of the intent to make the Grove
more attractive and pleasing to the
thousands of cottagers and visitors, and
everything is nov activity. on the
'''spokes" or avenues, where cottages are
being cleaned and renovated, and many
new dwellings of pretty architectural
design being erected. The Inconvenience
that cottagers In West grove have con-
tended with for several seasons past will
be obviated, the Association officers
having gone to considerable expense to
bore wells and erect a standpipe in that
section of the camp grounds. A pure
supply of water is To- available. There
will be no material change at the Audi
torium or Tabernacle, although both
s%anctuaries will be given a thorough
overhauling before the opening service.
One of the sad features of the coming
camp will be the memorial services CON-
menorative of sweet faced Aunt Susan"
whose hallelujah song will be greatly
missed. This devoted women, with her
sympathetic nature and gentle disposition,
was probably more familiar than any
parsonage at Pitnlan meetings, and her
death a few weeks ago was received
mournfully by Methodists who attend the
camp in these woods. DR.. Keen, the leader
from Ohio, whose eloquent ~pleadings last
year swayed the masses, has also departed
this life. He was to nave been among
the throng there this year.

Hon. w. f. Aldrich, OF Alabama, was
in Washington last week and In dis
cussing the recent elections in that state
he said:
II think that Johnston was counted IN
after the same old fashion, but the
frauds were more evenly distributed this
wear. There was stufiing Of the ballot
boxes I'm all sections. whereas II used To
he confined to the black bolt. But the
result was not at all surprising The
conditions we're all favorable TO the
Democracy and adverse to the opposi-
ton. The alliance between the Repub-
leans and the Populists proved COM
plete failure The Republicans We're ana
are still. split into hostile factions. Men
who styled themselves leaders and posed
as having great influence had their own
counties to go Democratic by heavy ma
jorities.
at present everything Is mixed up an3
nobody can tell what combinations will
be made. There may be four presiden-
tial tickets in the field. for the sound
money Democrats are making a big fuss.
The trouble is that they are too few in
numbers 10 accomplish anything. There
is hardly a doubt that Bryan Will carry
the state and the indications are that
the Congressional delegation will be solid
" Democratic. I do not look for any
other result. 7 have not made mp my
mind as TO whether ] shall run for Con-
gress again or not There are limits 10
the sacrifices that arc expected OF q
man for the sake Of party"
We care very little about what Mr..
Aldrich says OF anything except the
frauds I'm elections. but we do care n
great deal about that. The testimony
is conclusive. that the elections I'm Ala
bama are little. If anything. more than
what the manipulators Of elections choose
to make them. That is the matter
which interests us in Virginia. and what
we have seen of fraudulent elections in
Virginia makes every Vrginian ask him
self whether we are to pass into that
sort of condition permanently.
We must have frauds in our elections
stamped out, or our people will lose all
the moral elements in their character.

THE YEIE IVY FROM GENERAL LEES
GRAVE.

The country remembers that q. few
weeks ago when it was proposed that the
graduating class at Yale College should
plant upon the campus. q sprig Of w.
from the grave of General Robert i.
Lee, a great rumpus was made by Kew
DR.. Twitchens opposing Il and saying
ct would seem that it would almost
make this statue avert its head to-day u
n class Of Yale should plant ivy from
the grave Of Robert +. Lea good man

representing an infamous cause to climb
one Of the temples Of Yale" The statue
referred TO was that OF Professor Wool
sey. Or. Twitchell and his partisans
were overruled, and the ivy was planted
But within the past few days it has
been pulled up and taken away.
This action will undoubtedly arouse
feelings Of resentment in the South, bu,
we hope there will be as little Of It as
possible. General Lees fame and gran
deur cannot be added TO by anything
Yale College can do, nor can they be
dimmed or furnished by any malevolence
whatevr issuing from it. They are
fixed. permanent and imperishable. Yale
College would honor herself by honoring
him. but she cannot add to the unfading
laurels that will crown his memory
through all time. nor pluck one leafle.
from them by her utmost efforts.
The motive that inspired the young gem
tlemen who resolved to plant this ivy at
Yale was a most honorable and ennobllng
one. but we hope the matter will be drop
ped now. We of the South wish no
unseemly wrangle over the question
whether the thing ought TO be done OF
ought not to be done. II Yale College
should come forward and unanimously
ask that it might have the privilege Of
planting upon its campus a sprig Of ivy
from Geneal Lees grave. we should I'M
grudgingly allow it that honor. but +,
must be understood at once that the
South refuses to approve Of the thing I'M
less every man connected with the Col.
lege understands and appreciates Ia,
honor that 1t would receive. and accepts
It in the spirit Of one who receives in
stead OF in the spirit Of one who gives.

NEW YORK. AUG. 1S.-The second at
tempt OF the reform administration 10 sell
the citys bonds has met with failure.
Bids for 81. 43J. O334l were opened today,
and although the bonds bear interest at
- per cent, payable in gold, the offers
made were SO low that, after wrange
between Comptroller Fitch and General
McCOok, the Sinking Fund Commission
came to deadlock over their accep-
lance which Will result in a re-adyer-
tisement OF the bonis, ia the hope OF
getting better prices.
There was a larger amount bid than
was called for but the majority OF the
offers was for Sl.2JO 900 bonds for the
support OF the insane and Al9.JOJ water
stock bOrds, which are exempt from tax
alton. Some OF the other bonds offered
were not subscribed Tor at all. Two OF
the offers were below par, and as the
law prohibits the sale OF city bonds be-
law par these offers were not consider
eI. AT the last successful sale the bonds
obtained 1 per cent. premium, and at the
previous sale more than per cent.
Few Of the bids were from Well-knoTn
Wall-street firms. and the syndicates
which used 10 take an the bonds the city
offered whenever they got the chance
were conspicuous by their absence from
tie building.
