one of the most pleasant vacations
have ever taken.
People are evidently becoming more
interested in the big stream which
wends it's way from Minnesota to the
Gulf Of Mexico and the passenger
traffic on the river has materially in
creased. The Diamond 10 line has
constructed large steamers, the Quincy
ard the Dubuque, which ply between
the Two Saints, Paul and Louis" and
the vessel which carried the writer was
crowded with passengers when 1t start
ed from st. Paul.
There is always tinge of romance to
trip On the water, and this may ac-
count for the fact that there were eight
newly married couples on the Quincy.
The beautiful scenery, the calm,
drowsy motion Of the lazy boat, the
long moonlight evenings, made so en-
joyable by the crude but melodious
music of the darkies on the deck be-
low, and the dancing in the long cabin
all combine in making an environment
of dilicious languor and poetic serenity.
There is no dust to get into ones eyes,
no cinders and no rolling and lurching.
The motion of the boat is almost i'm
perciptible.

pen and ink pictures of the negro have
gained for him a national reputation,
would spend few days on Diamond
10 liner, he would be in his glory, for
nowhere can there be found-not even
on the New Orleans levee-such Etheo-
plan types as are employed On the boats
as ''roustabouts." These negroes are
used as freight carriers and it is on
their sturdy backs that the freight is
carried from the different landings and
slowed on the lower deck, or is trans
ported from the big vessel to the shore.
No modern method OF carrying freight
has been adopted by the river people
and the style used on the river fifty
years ago Is still in vogue.
The "roCEtabouts'' on the Quincy are
all st. Louis darkies, and big, lazy,
loose jointed mokes, they are. At each
landing, the moment the gangplank
scrapes the shore, there is a grand
scramble by the blacks and race for
the spot where the freight Is piled up.

Another popular form or amusement
INDUCED in by the "roustabout' is to
scramble for coins thrown down to
them by passengers above. A nickel
tossed into the midst Of a dozen crap
shooters has the effect of changing the
comparatively quiet scene into a Bed
lam. Certain conservative people who
think that the game of football is
rough sport should see the negroes
fight for the possession of a scent
piece. A battle royal between a batch
of Bengal tigers Is but a tame affair

SILVER FUSION.

The Democrats, Silver Republicans

lowing.
1t is the unanimous sense of this
conference that it is desirable that
there should be a union OF Democrats
Popullsts and Silver Republican
parties IN the coming campaign upon
a reasonable and equable basis, with
reference to platform and State, Con
gresSlonal, Legislative and local tic
kets; that this union is hereby rec
commended; that the plan and detail
OF he union be left to the further
conferences and agreements of the
representatives Of the several parties:
that 1t is further recommended that
conventions of the several parties be
held at the same time and place; that
this conference be adjourned subject
to the call Of the chair, in order that
the further opinion of the different
authoritative bodies of the several
parties may be obtained by the repre-
sentative subcommittee"
The meeting adjourned with the
general feeling that after a little fur
ther consideration by the head of the
different parties fusion would become
an accomplished fact.

SALE OF ~SENATORSHIPS.

IT Senators were elected by direct
vote of the people-as constitutional
amendment proposed by the House OF
Representatives provides-Senators
OF a certain sort would disappear.
There would be no Mark Hanna

proof that he got his seat BY bribery
could be presented.
We should not hear ola mar coming
to Washington to start a saloon
failing, and then coming back as
United States Senator by grace of the
Boss Of his State. Senatorships
would not be We: over a poker table
as has occurred in Illinois within a
comparatively few years.
There would be fewer dummies in
the Senate and fewer moneybags.
While the ability to win and keep the
support of the masses of the people
does not necessarily imply statesman
ship, it is still a higher order of ca
pacity than that of a nan who buvs a
few local bosses and a fe v legislators.
