Oar contemporary, the Enter

Our contemporary, the Enter
prise, prints cut Of watermelon
five feet long, and the picture of
Senator Swink st anding by. The
melon is very near as long as the
senator himself. 1t is a very
unique way Of showing up the
melon industry, but we very much
doubt the propriety of eXaggerat-
ing the resources of the valley in
that way. The truth is great
enough without mlsrepresenilng
the question. Everyone knows
that no such melon was raised
here, or anywhere else on earth.
Parties who undertake to deceive
and portray the vast resources Of
this portion of the valley find it
difficult to make strangers believe
half the truth. Wien it comes to
this mode Of exaggcration 1t will
soon come to pass that we cannot
succeed III making anyone believe
the truth in the case.-Rocky
Ford Republican.
The question to an outsider is
which way was the comparison to
be directed. The Senator Is b ig
man, but then we do not supp ose
1t was meant to compare him to a
10 pound melon.

The spectacle of the United States
Consul General at Havana being forced
by seIf-respect to tender his resigna-
ton because the administration
az Washington will not support him
in his efforts to protect American citi-
zens. is not an edifying one On the
contrary it is a state of facts well cal
culated to bring the blush of shame to
the cheek of every true American and
every lover Of liberty. General Lee re-
sigued last Sunday His resignation
arrived ut Washington Wednesday,
President Cleveland receiving one copy
and Secretary Olney another They
knew what was coming before the res
ignations were actually received for a
telegram was sent General Lee, asking
him 90 reconsider his action, and he
responded that it was too late. Yet the
officials at Washington have steadfastly
asserted that General Lee had not re-
signed. doing this even as late as We'd
uesday night after the resignation was
i'm the hands of the President and Sec
rotary Oney
The fact of the matter is, that it is
worse than idle for Americans in Cuba
to- expect sympathy, protection or re-
dress so long as the administration
maintains its present position. Many
outrages have already been committed
against citizens of this country, and yet
our government remains silent The
murder of DIT Ricardo Ruiz was the
final tes,-and that ne was murdered
there can not be the slightest doubt, in
view of General Lees deep disgust.
This murder excited not even ripple
at Washington. until a recital of the
facts by General Lee. followed by a
strong plea for redress and pro-
lection. caused mild tele-
gram to be sent TO Madrid,
Itabundantly demonstrates two things:
One. that no American is safe in Cuba;
and the other, that no ofreuse on the
part of the Spaniards towards Ameri-
cans. from simple insult to bloody muir
der viii have the least influence or eff
feet upon the administration at Wash
ingJon.

Somebody has been moved to at
tempt a defense of the proposed Cur
few" ordinance. in the columns of the
InteHigencer. The defense" suggests
the thought that perhaps the idea of
terrorizing little children originated
with this particular Citizen" Will
Citizen explain by what mental pro-
cess he arrives at the conclusion that
it is a good thing to keep small child
rem i'm the house at night until they get
old enough to really get into mischief,
and they allow them TO stay out all
night if they choose. exposed TO a
good many forms Of iniquity and temp
tau0u? And if the streets are breeding
places Of crime, why don't Citizen"
head a movement to have existing laws
enforced. to the end that the streets
may be safe? Does Citizen belong to
the class which is in favor of the law,
but against its enforcement? What
sort of Citizen is it that would ap-
plaud the taking into custody Of ten
year-old child. for the heinous crime Of
daring TO walk around a block while
across the street a crap joint works
three hundred and sixty-fve days a
year. the policy writer distributes his
wares. and the racket from poker rooms
and the jingling Of silver dollars there
in can be heard on the sidewalks?
The fact that forty ordinances are
violated in Wheeling every day Of
every year does not affect Citizen. "
He is above a little thing like that.
What he wants is crank legislation and
increased interference with personal
liberty. A wide open town does not
move him TO activity But babes in
arms are fair game. They won't cast
a vote for years and years, and maybe
they'll die while young. Keep the
children i'm the house 10y all means, for
i'm Wheeling everything must continue
to go"
