the demand, though the market today was
somewhat better than yesterday. There
were 10000 melons at the wharf this morn
ing, the few sold yesterday being replaced
by the arrivals of fresh cargoes. Owing to
the poor market one vessel load of melons
left here yesterday for Baltimore and sew
eral others will follow today. Prices are
still on the decline, culis selling at 81 to
50 per hundred; primes, 81 to S6 per hun
dred. and selected melons at $40 to S12 per
hundred

HERE'S A PRETTY MESS.

A dispatch from Washington dated March
27th, says:
cat the opening of the session of the house,
to-day, Mr.. Richardson (Tennessee), the minor
ity leader, offered, as a matter of privilege,
resolution for the appointment of committee
Of seven to investigate the charges said to have
been made by DR.. Walter Christmas, semi.
official representative of the government OF
Denmark, in secret report to his government,
in which it was made to appear that he was to
receive $500, 900, 900 of the purchase money
for the sale of the Danish West Indies for
bribing newspapers and members Of congress.
"The resolution was very long and detailed,
and its reading created great excitement on
both sides of the house."
Republican papers have been rejoicing over
the fact that there are now no Populists in con-
gress; so no charge of bribery can be brought
against Populist.

MADDEN, the fellow who tried to knock the
Appeal to Reason out OF the mails, is now after
the dollar dailies. He claims that dollar is
merely nominal price, and that paper ad
vertising such price has no right to the sac
ond-class privilege. 1t will next be in order
for Madden to 60 after the Kansas City Journal
and Star and other twenty .fve.cent weeklies.
If dollar is only nominal price for a little
daily, twenty-five cents is only nominal price
for big weekly. If department clerk at
Washington can set the price Of newspaper,
what's to hinder other department clerks from
fixing the prices Of the various lines of goods
handled by merchants? Or why couldn't they
fix the price of any product of factory? Or
why couldn't they fix the-wages of tarm labor
ers on the farm, in the factory or mine, or on
the railroad-any kind of laborer2 Isn't Mr.,
Madden creating precedent that will place

WATTERSON REFUSES TO BE SILENS.

Henry Watterson, although somtimes "of
color" politically, is no coward, and generally
speaks his mind without reserve. At ban
quet of the Virginia Democratic Association at
Washington, Mr.. Watterson made speech, in
which he said:
81 want to know what is going on away out
yonder across the multitudinous, the mysterious
waves of the Pacific sea. want other wit
nesses than self-seeking politicians and self
exploiting soldiers to come here and tell me.
refuse to hold my tongue; and if l am told by
a whipper-snapper in shoulder-straps that un-
less do, am traitor to my country, my re-
ply to him shall be slap in the face.
"Once again in the White House
we have the man on horseback. Affecting the
simplicity of the cowboy, he conceals beneath
the self-cor6dence and queer manners of the
broncho-buster tie sentiments and ambitious, If
not the talents, of Diaz. To him, little
thing like treating an admiral of the navy,
wearing the laurel leaves of impershable re-
nown, as if he were baby in arms, now to be
handled and now to be spanked, Is merely an
undress affair, begun and ended during off mo-
ments between breakfast and luncheon. To
him, the reprimanding of the lieutenant-general
of the army, grown gray in the fighting of the
battles of his country, becomes an amusing
horse play meant to relax his muscles and illus.
trate his high mightiness, while warning lesser
officers OF the army to obey orders and say
nothing.
''Because the reprimanded lieutenant general,
answering the summons Of committee of con-
gress-as was his duty-expresses an opinion
adverse to bill, it is proposed to retire him
from the service. Taken in connection with
some other matters of more or less sinister sug-
gestion, these are menaces of most ominous

NO MORE FUSION.

The state central committees of the Populist
and Democratic parties met in Topeka last
Monday and Tuesday, for the purpose of devils
ing some plan whereby the Populist and Dem.
ocratic parties could make united fight on the
Republicans.
The two committees worked hard all day,
Tuesday, but could reach no agreement, and
the committees agreed to disagree. The Dem
ocrats concluded to hold their state convention
at Wichita, June 22d and the Populists de-
cided to hold their convention June 24th, but
named no place.
1t now appears that there is an end of fusion.
The lPopulsts have made the Democrats fair
and honorable offers of cooperation, but they
have rejected all oAers--they insist on being
the whole thing. No true, self-respecting
Populist will accede to the Popvlist demands.
There is nothing lett for us to do but to go it
alone-just what we should have done from the
beginning.
It is said that John w. Breidenthal has
plan by which the two parties can unite honor
ably and tremendously, but what that plan is
has not yet been divulged.
