In the regions where no smoke boils

whistle startles the solitude of the for

requests for the project to be com

often the case, the stereotype phrase

about by unthinking people. Railroads

Failure of tho Melon Cron.
Quitman Free-Press.
There is no longer room to doubt
that the melon crop in this section,
and in fact throughout the State, is a
partial failure. Three weeks ago the
prospect for a large crop was most
t-s— The vines were loaded
with finely Bliaped fruit and looked
green and flourishing. Then came
the rains accompanied by cool nights
which have lasted until this writing,
and the result is that all theyoun]
crop has shrunk up or rotted am
dropped off. There is literally no
young crop and tbe first crop is exceed
ingly scant. Growers are agreed in
this section that not more than half a
crop will be made. There is no danger
that any market east, west,
north of south, will be glutted
this season with Georgia melons,
and we do not think any one
need tear getting a fair price for a good
load of melons up to the middle of July,
Last year we shipped from Quitman
five hundred car loads of melons. We
doubt if one hundred and fifty car loads
are shipped this season.
JUDCE FIELD.
Why He Is Not Popular With Hoodlum
Democrats.
Hon. H. D. Money In Washington Post.
Mr. Money said he did not believe that
the resolution and instructions of the Cal
ifornia convention would detract from
Judge field's availability as a candidate.
As Judge Field says, he is unpopular with
the radical element imCnlltornia, and by
reason of judicial decisions that were good
and sound, but did not suit the interests
or temper of that element. His decision
in favor of the holders of the Mexican
grants offended many settlers; his decis
ion in the Chinese cases was distateful;
his decision in tbe railroad tax cases, that
the property of railroads should be taxed
as other property, incensed the anti-raii-
road people. No man has said, or can
sav, that he has ever been Improperly in
fluenced in bis high office, and in fact, ids
capacity and character are admittedly
commanding and irreproachable.
It would bo unnatural for a convention,
entertaining the extreme views expressed
in the newspaper summary of the Stock-
ton platform, to Indorse Judge Field,
whose line of decisions mark him as the
champion of law, order, the rights of per-
sons and the righta of property. It cannot
be expected that any man who may be
nominated by the Democratic National
Convention will stand upon the Stockton
platform, or that he could he elected if he
should stand on it. The doubtful States

Massachusetts and New Hampshire would
hardly he expected to help destroy the na
tional banking system, or to approve the
extreme legislation proposed by the Cali
fornia Legislature nt its extra session, and
which the Stockton convention indorsed.
These same decisions, so unpopular In
California, commend Judge Field to the
conservative people of California and of
the Union, and mostatrongly in the doubt
ful States.
The late dissenting opinion of Judge
Field in the legal tender case has wonder
fully strengthened him in the respect and
confidence of conservative people, who
still reverence the Constitution and regard
him as its sole defender on the benci
BLOODY BILL, THE TERROR.
The Present Melon Crop.
Morning News.
Tlio crop throughout tho State is
light, and, so far as can be learned, is
a partial failure, the shipments falling
greatly below those of last year. The
indications are that the markets will
avoid anything like a glut, and no
trouble will be experienced in that di
rection. The acreage was smaller at were
the start than last year, hut it was ex
pected that there would be a mnch
larger yield. The heavy rains and cool
weather, however, damaged the crops
so tlmt it is generally estimated that it
will not exceed two-thirds of what was
expected. The pilces thus far have
been satisfactory to growers, good mel
ons selling for $350 to $450 per car load
in the market. With the facilities
which the railroads have provided for
moving the crop, it is predicted that if
it does not cause the average price to

an end in Georgia.
the SnpremeCourt. They recognize the
fact that lie is the only Judge who believes
in the doctrine of Jefferson, and at all
points has combatted the centralizing ten
dencies of his colleagues, who follow after
Hamilton. The fact that he has never
yielded to power or to popular clamor, ir
resistibly commends him to the judgment
of thoughtful men.
“I think I have good authority in both
parties," continued Mr. Money, “for say.
fng that, if nominated. Judge Field will
rally the conservative forces, Democratic
and Republican, and will carry the Paci
fic States if anybody can, and that he is
stronger there than any Democrat who
can be named; but the fact is, that it
seems generally conceded that Blaine can
carry California against any Democrat.
The action of the Democratic party has
lost that State, auu there Is uo reason why
we should select a candidate with any ref
erence to his vote. It will hardly be said

Hackman nnd Burglars In Atlanta.
Constitution.
Thieves and burglars have novel as
well as dishonest ways which they call
into uso when playing for somebody’s
hard earnings. The first thing a burg
lar thinks of after finding a victim is a
scheme
to direct suspicion away from
him. On Sunday night one of these
schemes was detected on Luckie street.
Near the comer of Luckie and Spring
streets, Mr. Saloshin, the broker, re
sides. Sunday night a thict attempted
to entor his residence, but did not suc
ceed. He then went to the next house
and succeeded in crawling into a win
dow. The room was occupied by a
young lady, and ns the burglar touched
the floor, she awoke and asked who it
was. Seeing his game up, the burglar
sprang through the window. The
young lady jumped up and
started tor tho front of the residence to
awaken some one, but as she reached
tho front door something prompted her
to open it. As she dia so she saw a
man run through the front gate and
spring into a hack which was standing
near the pavement. Site felt certain
the man was tho burglar, and aa tbe
hack started off she called to the driver
telling him to stop, but the driver only
laid whip to his horse and soon dis-
appeared.

friends in California that he was not a can-

of that State, he was not then disappoint-,

“Not in the least. He was not a candi

should be nominated, and was disappoint

In consequence ot Judge Field’s deter
mined stand an the electoral commission
his nomination would make the issues

Field should be nominated, he would rep
resent hto own opinions on the legal ten

Houston Post.
“Whoop-la, whoop!” thundered a
hairy, herculean, heavily-armed ter
ror of terrible fellows, as he kicked
open the rickerty door of the Frontier
Saloon and glanced threateningly upon
the quiet crowd witliin. With a quiet
6wagger aud many horrible oaths he
advanced to the bar and said:
“How’s biz ter-day, Toddvman?”
“Dull, Bill, dull. Can’t you help me
out?”
“Of co’se lean—an’ will,” answer
ed the Terror.
Turning, ho called out to the loafers
scattered about the room:
“Como up hyer, come up, yer d d
votes! an* treat yo’se’fs, ah’ mo, too,
at'yo’ own expense. That’s right,”
lie continued, as the ten or twelve per-

:hes and smilingly ex
pressed their willingness to accept any
invitation, however worded, tho said
terror might extend.
“Hump ’cr ’long, , an’ in a
hurry,” lie growled, savagely, as ho
noted one solitary exception to the
unanimity of the acceptances, “or by
the crook of my elbow I’ll hurt yer;
hurt yer bad.”
The single exception, however, qui
etly retained his seat, and neither by
gesture nor speech did lie show the
slightest consciousness of the presence
and the language of the most famous

Great was our Terror’s amazement
and greater his wrath when ho be
came convinced that it was actually
the intention of the rash stranger to ig
nore him and his mandatory invita
tion. With huge, self-acting revolver
in hand, he started toward him. As he
approached, the silent unknon uncoiled
his long legs, and extended himself
gradually upward and upward, until at
last he presented to our astonished
vision the towering form of the tallest
and thinnest mortal we had ever scerj
When within three or fonr feet the
Terror paused and said: “1 gives yer

■ “Oh, yes; I’s not deaf,” was the re

the desperado.
“First rate record that,” was the re

was really brave, and he struggled
pluckily to uphold and preserve the

the fight bv a double-footed kick that
stretched Bloody Bill prone and breath'

There was no response.
"All right,” said the gentleman from
the Comstock. “Then I’ll subscribe
for him. Here’s $100 from the Sunset
State,” and he durnpod the gold into
the already heavily weighted bat, just
as Die whistle blew and the collector
started for the door.
“Who did you 4 say that money was

slowlv pulled out.
“U'hat for? Why, for beer!" cried
the man with the hat, and at the same
moment about a dozen more ojd bums

fiat car, and executed a wild scalp
dance of joy as the train disappeared
around the curve.

Wti» Commodore Garrison Killed a Man
San Franclieo Poet.
In his life and ending Ralston was
parhaps the typical Californian of tho
early time. In 1847 he began life as
second clerk on the steamboat Convoy
(of which C. K. Garrison was captain
and main owner,) running from St.
Louis to New Orleans. After varied
fortunes, in 1840 Commodore Garrison
killed a well-known Mississippian in a
tight, shooting liim in the head just in
time to save his own life. The family ble
of tho man he killed was a very
and powerful one at that time, and
while Garrison did what he did clearly
in self-defence, vet he certainly would
have been killed by some of the dead
man’s brothers if he continued to run
on the river. He therefore concluded
to leave the South, and the California
gold excitement breaking out at that
time, ho went out there, bis clerk,
Ralston, following him. As might be
expected, Garrison soon beesmo very
rich, and established the firm of Gar
rison, Frctx & Ralston. After making
an immense fortune he came East to
New York, leaving Ralston one of the
leading financiers of that section. His
life, adventures, and sad death are too
wall remembered to need further men
tion.
probable that he could hare attained
such a pace in running s shorter distance
nor hava maintained it for s ran of say
greater length. When a man covers 100
yards in ten seconds he Is going st tbs
rate o! « mile in 2 mlnntes and 90 seconds;
while 'AM yards in 0:22 2 6 is one and one-
fifth seconds slower than s mile in 3 min
utes. Averaging stl the remarkable per
formances spoken of, it is sate to say that
the limit ot human speed stthe present
time It at ths rate of a mile In 3 minntea
at a distance not over an eighth of smile.
The fact that experts think that 23) yards
will be run before long la 0:22 does not
alter this rate. It is sufficiently remarks-
imtt
i'^re.ls a larking minor that Col. J.
P-Latill, of Savannah, will a xept the
ANaw Spanish Bull-Flahtor.
London Standard.
None of the great public questions
affecting Spain hat caused to much ex
citement aa a bull-fight, which took
place in the capital to-aay. There was
such an extraordinary competition
for tickets that a riot was nearly
caused, and the presence of
several hundred bone and foot
police was required to preserve order.
About 10,000 persona of all ranks be
sieged the doors, some of them remain
ing all lost night stthe approaches to
the bullring, where tickets realized
teL lous prices. The eagerness to gain
admission was occasioned by the ap
nearance of a new bull fighter, wt
is said to surpass all the most famous
heroes of the bull ring since the days
of El Tato and Cachares. Several ar
rests had to be made daring the rush
at thp doors.

BAYARD V8. CLEVELAND.
Hon. Bradler J. Johnson-lntervlew In
Baltimore Dap
Mr. Bayard illustrated in his whole
life every principle of government
which the statesmen and the patriots
of the country have advocated and in
sisted. I hare no fear of the red shirt
issue in his Dover speech. Every man
controlled by the bate of the war will
vote for Blame and Logon anyhow, if
wo nominated Sherman orGrant. All
that class will vote against us In any
event. The fact of his being from a
small State is in bis favor for
election. It may be against
him for nomination. But if
nominated, he will have no faction in
hia State with which he has been iden
tified, and will receive the solid sup
port of the party in the great States.
He con consolidate the Democracy bet
ter in New York than Cleveland, be
cause Cleveland has of necessity an
tagonized many leading politlciuu in
his ovra State. In the straggle be
tween factions there he has unavoida
bly dissatisfied some of them. There
fore, Bayard is stronger In New York
titan Cleveland. He is as strong in
Connecticut and New Jersey. There
will be the battle-ground.

Ths Pride of Place.
SsnFraaclsco Post.
One of the most singular traits of
our common humanity is the fact that
no matter how arcticolly indifferent the
citizen of a particular locality may be
to his neighbors while at home,* he no
sooner becomes a traveler than his lo
cal pride sticks out like the peg on
hat rack, and at a minute’s notice.
The other morning while the east-
bound overland was stopping at Coun
cil Bluffs, a man suddenly chmbed into
one of tho Pullman cars and exclaimed
in an anxious voice:
“Is there a Southern man aboard? 1
“There is, ssh. From Nothe Cnrli-
ny, sah!” responded a gentleman at
tired in ablack suit,velvet vest and leg
boots, those ante-bellum land-marks
of the sunny Sonth.
“Then I appeal to you to aid a case
of real distress.” “I give a dollar my
self,” and he dropped a dollar into
his own hat.
“I’m from Florida, sah,” said a thin
man farther along, “and I make

“If there Is anybody here from Wis
consin,” said a stout-look’“ - ”
in jeans, “suppose we sul
apiece.”
“It’s a go!” shouted a fellow-citizen
to the last speaker, pulling out his
pocket-book.
“New York says $5,” snapped out a
stylish looking young fellow, flipping a
gold piece down the aisle.
“80 does Massachusetts.” coolly
chimed in s Boston man, dropping a
greenback into the delighted hat.
"Gentlemen,” quietly onnoanced a
solid-looking passenger, “the Keystone
State pities the starving family, or
whatever it is, just 910,” and he count
ed out the coin.
“Illinois goes that one better,” and
a traveler with a “wheat futures” look
fished oat three fires.
“Just pass thtojttp^ploase/’juld a 8t.

“The poor willow catches Utah for
