The melon season will soon be open In earnest, and every melon grower expects to be agreeably disappointed by selling his crop at good prices. Oysters are just as good in the summer time as they are in winter. There is a considerable difference, however, in the •Uimuchs of the people. Complaint is made that vegetables shipped North are over-ripe when they reach market. A good many eggs shipped South seem to have the same fail ing. Most of the Republican office-holders ap pear to bo resigned to whaiever late may overtake them, but very lew of them seem disposed to resign or elude the de cree of lute.

The National Oonferenoe of Charities ami Correction. The attendance at the twelfth annual National Conference ot Charities and Cor rection at Washington is fully as large as was expected. Between 400 and aOO dele gates are present. Avery deep interest appears to he taken in the various mat ters that are presented for consideration. It is pretty clear to those who have given the question of the best methods of dealing with convicts the consideration l it deserves that there is plenty of : room for improvement in the methods at present employed. In New York and two ;or three other States there has been marked progress within the last few years , in the construction of prisons and the management of convicts, j Much more importance has been given to the reform idea in those States than it has ever before received. I The aim has been lo chock to as great an extent us possible the increase in the number of criminals, and also to reclaim those who have not become so wholly committed to their downward course of life as to make a change for the better practically impossible. in some of the prisons in the State of New York the prisoners are separated into classes. Those who are charged with heinous offenses are not permitted to as sociate with those who are guilty only of petty crimes, and great care is taken to keep boys away from old and hardened offenders. It is a well-known fact that those who have had great experience in the commis sion of crime take pleasure in teaching those they meet in prison, particularly young men and boys, all they know of criminal matters. They expect at some future time to avail themselves of the aid that those young men and boys may be able to render them. There is another objection to permitting the worst criminals to come into contact with those whose offenses are not such as to shut them out trom the hope of soon re suming an honorable place in society. It is that the hardened convicts, when they have at last secured their liberty, olten hunt up the minor offenders whom they have met in prison and blackmail them by threatening to make known the story of their shame. Instances of this kind are not infrequent. There is one thing that State and coun ty authorities are not as careful about as they ought to be. it is the selection of those who have control of the prisons. A few years ago the jail of the District of Columbia was commented on as being one of the best managed institutions ot the kind inthe oountry. The chief jailer was changed, and almost immediately a change for the worse in the management of the prison was noticed. The prison lost its fresh, clean appearance, and the rules and regulations that had added so much to the health and comfort of the prisoners were no longer enforced. From a model prison the institution became a very dirty and badly regulated jail. The system of working convicts outside of the prisons and in gangs has been very severely criticised for several reasons, but chiefly because it has a tendency to brutalize ihe convicts and to increase the number of criminals. There is nothing reformatory in the system, and those States which have adopted it on the ground of economy may not find it eventually so very economical. If it helps to make criminals and does not reform any the time may come when the States, In which it is practiced, may have more criminals than they will know what to do with. The cost of securing the convic tion of those charged with the commission of crimes will then be so great that it will be a very serious burden. This matter of the proper treatment of convicts, and those charged with criminal offenses, is of especial Interest in this community at this time. This county is about to build anew jail, and the jail ought to be in keeping with the most ad vanced of the approved ideas of prison re- 1 form. Whatever will tend to keep down the number of criminals will serve the ! highest interests of the community. Epidemic of Suicides. Any one who will glance over a half dozen leading newspapers on almost any day will see the reports of from eight to ! twenty suicides. It is fair to assume that there are many suicides wbien are not reported to the press at nil. The sui cides in the United States for one year may lie numbered up in the thousands. Olten three or lour are reported in one city on the same day. The suicides are from overy walk of life. Here, one who seems to tie able to gratify every wish tires of the cares that beset him or her. There, one ot the middle class is disappointed in love, or is defeated in some loug-cherlshed enterprise. A poor invalid gives up to despair. A pauper seeks to fly from want aud abuse. Often un aged man puts an end to his already short lease of life, and occasion ally one not beyond the years of childhood voluntarily ends the life that has just begun. There are a thousand things that ap parently lead people to commit suicide, yet not one of them is sufficient to justify the deed. It has been said that no one with a sound mind in a sound body was ever known to take his or her life, hut this is hardly true, l’liysical suffering, depressed spirits, a disordered bruin, makes iieople seek to end their ills and to find rest ami peace in the grave. Many seem to realize that it is more fearful to live than to die. I’bilosopbcrs.pliiiunthropists and states men hnve devised plans for preventing people from taking their lives, in many countries laws have been made providing for the exposure of the bodies of suicidi s to the public, or their submission toother supposed punishments or indignities. Those who make unsuccessful attempts to tuke their lives have been punished or threatened with punishment. All these measures bnvj been of no avail, and it seems that the suicidal mania is steadily increasing. it is as much a question as it ever has been, how shall this munia lie treated? It is itnpossible to eliminate from life all the apparent causes ol suicides. It seems that the only effectual remedy is to teach people from tho pulpit, through the i press, in schools, und by u!l available means higher concept lot s of the duties and responsibilities of life. The eoward ; Ice. meanness, if you please, the crimi nality of suicide, should lie impressed on all, especially on the young. Parents should teach their children that it is their duty to bear up under the sorrows, tho troubles, the tUsappolntmeut* SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1885. of life, and that death by one’s own hand is not only in the highest degree discredit able and reprehensible from a human point of view, but that it is a foolish in sult to that Providence that rules over the destinies of men, and a mortal sin against the Creator, who has commanded “Thou shalt do no murder.” When these lessons are properly taught to mankind, no one who is morally responsible will ever put an end to his or her own life. Miss Cleveland's ltook. Miss Elizabeth Cleveland is occupying more space in the newspapers, perhaps, than is altogether agreeable to her or to her brother, the President. Blie is a lady of considerable literary ability, and has led a very active, and, there is reason to think, a very useful lile. Nothing was heard of her, however, out side the rather circumscribed limits in which she moved until her brother be came a candidate for the Presidency. The newspapers, however, have spoken of her very kindly over since sne has been an occupant of the AVhlte House. They have contained much that was very com plimentary to her. When it became known that she intended to publish a book there was great curiosity to know something of it. It is, as everybody now kuows, a volume of essays on various subjects, written doubtless by Miss Cleve land during her hours of leisure. Ex tracts from some of these essays have been published, and sentiments expressed in two of them have been the occasion of considerable criticism, of both Miss Cleveland and her brother, of a rather hostile kind. The essays which excited these criti. cisms deal with the liquor question and with conventual life. These are questions that are calculated to excite feeling, in whatever way they may be discussed. Miss Cleveland is a strong opponent of the liquor traffic, and she has no sym tiathy with conventual life, which she re gards as a stupendous sacrifice of energy j in vain. Miss Cleveland’s opinions stand out i very clearly in her essays, and it is ex tremely probable that so far as her re ligious views are concerned she inherits them, and shares them with her brothers and sisters. She docs not express her thoughts on religious subjects like one having newly-acquired convictions. She speaks as If she believes just what her an cestors believed. / No one will question Miss Cleveland’s right to entertain the opinions she does on the subject* to which attention has beeu directed, but there are those who have doubted whether she has shown judgment in publishing them while occu pying the position of mistress of the White House. There are many whose position or whose duties bring them In contact with Miss Cleveland who will feel some constraint in her presence, per haps, because of thy very pronounced position which she has takeu on matters which they regard differently, and there arc others who will use her opinions for the purpose of attacking the President and his administration. But whether it was good or bad judgment that induced Miss Cleveland to publish her book at this time, it is pretty certain that it will have a large sale. Financial Affairs of tlie Exposition. Tho New Orleans people seem deter mined to reopen the exposition next No vember. Tho refusal of the government to permit the government exhibit to re main for tlie reopening had a dishearten ing effect, hut it was not sufficient, it seems, to cause the movement in favor of reopening to be abandoned. At the meet ing at which the reopening was decided upon it was shown that sit>o,ooo had been subscribed, and it was held that this sum was sufficient to justify tho announcement that the exposi tion would be opened again in November. The Times-Democrat speaks of the matter as settled. There appears to be a hitch somewhere in the payment, of tho claims against the exposition held hy parties who do not reside in Louisiana. Congress, it will be remembered, agreed to pay this class of claims, and appropriated $335,000 for the purpose. A few days ago tlie exposition managers forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury a statement of the amount of these claims. It was $307,318. It seems that the amount was the occasion of sonao surprise. When the appropria tion was made it was stated by those who were supposed to be familiar with the af fairs of the exposition that there would be over SIOO,OOO of it remaining after the payment of all outside debts, and an ef fort was made to luduce the Attorney General to modify his opinion so as to per mit claims held by Louisianians to be paid out of it. The Attorney General refused. It is very natural, therefore, that the Treasury officials should bo surprised when it turns out that the claims of those entitled to be paid out of the anproprla. tion, instead of being only about $'200,000, amount, in fact, to nearly $500,000. It is true that the managers of tho exposition only admit claims to the amount of $304,. 318, which is $02,318 more than tho appro priation, but there are claims amounting to $72,752 whlob have bysn rejected, and which, doubtless, will he carefully ex amined hy tlie Treasury officials before a dollar of any of these claims is paid. The whole indebtedness lo parties out hide of liouisimm appears from the above luures to.be $470,070. What is the amount of the duiius of resident* of Louisiana? It is uot so large, perhaps, but still there is reason to think that it ia a good den] larger than (he managers would like the public to tbiuk that it is. it Is said that the Secretary ol the Treasury has called for the vouchers of all indebtedness which the government lias to pay, and that there lias been a great deal of delay ia furnishing them, iu fact, one ol the strong rcusons that in. duced the Cabinet to decide not to permit the government exhibit to remain after the* eloso of the exposition on the last day of May,was the belief that the government would be made responsible for tbe pay ment of whatever additional indebtedness might he incurred. It would not bent nil surprising if tbero should he an attempt next winter to induce Congress to make another ap propriation to pay the claim* that will remain unpaid alter the amount now in the Treasury to tbe credit of the exposi tion is exhausted. It is not unfair pur haps to say that the exposition was ns great a failure financially a* it wan a success as un exhibition of tho wealth, resources aud Industrie* of tho country. CURRENT COMMENT.

There ia but one constituency the President can look to—the Democratic party. The mugwumps helped in the work of electing him, and are entitled to the President’s good will; hut tho mugwumps have declared they want no offices, and that the administration must bo Democratic. Democratic, then, it is to be—and, with the object of making it so, the President will soon begin to replace Ku pu> lican office-holders with members of the party on which be depends for support of his administration and policy.

When asked how she had lost her hearing, she explained, after some hesitation, that some time ago her lover, ou his return from a jour ney, had embraced her and kissed her with such energy on her ear that she immediately felt a strong pain and had not been able to hear in that ear sinco. An examination of the ear showed, indeed, that tlie tympanum ha been torn and that the surrounding parts were badly inflamed. Here is an illustration of the dangers besetting impetuous lovers. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson to Equip Traveling Singing Hands. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, who is so widely known for her charities, aud is now living in Stamford, Conn , is contemplating an original scheme for doing good. On the theory that tlie old and stirring religious hymns which were familiar in childhood, and from which many people in later years drift so far away that barely an echo of them remains in the memory, would, if heard again, stir old recol lections and reawaken religious sentiments long dormant, she proposes* to send musical organizations through the country which will render the religious music uot only in concert halls, hut in public places where masses of people congregate. Mrs. Thompson intends not only to organize bands of sacred minstrels to travel from place to ill ace, but desires to get together local com panies of young people, under good nmsi al direction, who will give sacred concerts. .She is very much in earnest, and is fully deter mined to try the experiment. Higgins’ Jibes. From the Xew York Sun. Tho mejestic meditations of the mugwumps continue to be disturbed by Higgins. That objectionable being* lias not yet succeeded in his fell dtsign of turning out the Republicans in the Treasury Department; but he is mak ing life for them, if the account of ins proceedings given by our esteemed con temporary, the Evening Post, is correct. Ac cording to tliis authority, “messengers, labor ers, and others complain that he goes about corridors drawing his forefinger signilicantly across his throat to indicate the process of de capitation, and muttering: ‘You will have to go;’ ‘The Republicans must go.’” This sort of thing naturally makes the Republicans in the Treasury nervous. Higgins is a well-looking man, and nothing in his lineaments indicates that he has an un feeling heart. We cannot believe that lie jibes at these poor fellows, tlie Republican of ficeholders. They have been pigeon-livered aud chicken-hearted since March 4. and it would he wrong to play upon their apprehen sions. But if Appointment Clerk Higgins worries them, they should get out of the Treasury. It will be better for them to have their heads off at once than to be frightened to death |by Higgins. There is a g >od deal of sound sense in the mutterlnga of Higgins. Before and After Taking. From a Washington dispatch to t/te Courier- Journal. It is marve'mis what a change it makes in the mind of a Democrat to get an office. I wrote you a paragraph several weeks since about an Indiana Democrat complaining about Mr. Cleveland going so slow, aud ex pressing his fears that this was a "1> n mugwump concern.” Well, that Indiana Democrat got a pilace a short time since, and going home the other evening I met him in Lafayette Park looking ashappv asa lord, and evidently delighted witii the world. After shaking hands 1 asked him how he liked his new place. “Oh, the best kind; it is a nice position.” “Many more like it in the Treasury?” I asked. “Yes, a dozeD or more. Why do vou ask ? Waul one of ’em?” “Vo; but I have some good Democratic friends I would like mighty well to see take the places of the Republicans iu there. Seems to me the President and his Cabinet officers are going mighty slow, lam afraid the con cern is too mugwumpish.” “Oh, no; you are away off, old hoy. I tell you the changes are being made just as fast as they can. You see, it won’t do to he go sud den about making changes. It might cripple the public services; nothing of the mugwump order about tnis admin stratum. I know Uiut everything will lie all right in a short time. You bet the President and Dan. Manning know w hat they are doing Just wait, and you will see all the Ruts walk tlie plank.” This is a case of before taking and after tak ing an office. The Kind They Raise at Yale. From the Cleveland Leader. “I have another card story,” continued M'tj. I'alkin-, “and Senator Jones, of Nevada, is iny authority for it. He says tlie iueident actually happened in one of the little mining town* of his State. One night at the leading saloon of this little* town a party of u half dozen were playing poker. Among the players was u very nice young fellow, n grad uate of Yal College, and a man wtio had been quite successful at mining, and had at the same time made him-oir popular wiili nis fellows. Another member of the party was .t one-eyed stranger, and the rest, was made up of other honest miners about the camp. The play went on from early m the evening until about midnight, and all this time the one eyed man seemed to get all the good hands.
