Denounce* Proposed Reeolntlon on President Cleveland?Cells Is Dis? graceful aim Mercenary. Louisville, Ky.. July 2.?Comment Ins; today upon the report from New York last night that Judge Alton B. Parker has been selected to present resolutions at the Denver convention upon former Preeldet Cleveland's death Col. Watterson said: "The attempt to drag the dead body of Grover Cleveland from Its new made grave Into the tumult of a national convention will deceive no one. An Invasion of the grief of the noble lady who weepa amid the si? lence and solitude of the granite hills, a blow at the party concord. It is an act of shameless hypocrites. Nor was ever a professional houl Inspired by a more mercenary spirit, because the sole aim and end of the Murphy-Con? nors crowd, aided by the ascendency of the Belmont Ryan combination, to whleh Democracy owes Its last Ig? nominious and well deserved* defeat.

It was Belmont-Ryan money that nominat? ed him; and It was the BelmonNRyan tag that mede an anti-trust govern? ment under such a brand absurd and Impossible. ? "It seemed fitting that having made sacrifices for predatory wealth, Judge Parker should have his recom? pense In a rich law practice In the city of New York. He haa had It, and with It and Its enrlshnrent, he should rest well content. That he should emerge from this highly paid obscu? rity to make trouble through sheer malevolence were pitiable Indeed, but that he should appei&r, backed by money of the trust magnates and traction thlevee, appealing to Jeffer? son and Tilden, the deed body of Cleveland stretched upon the dissect? ing table, la disgraceful. v "It le not only disgraceful, but Its motive la grotesquely and transparent? ly Obvious. The wing of the Demo? cratic party In the State of New York to which Judge Parker and the group with which he la now acting, belonged was the David Bennett Hill wing. They were the Inveterate, the Implac? able enemies . of Qrover Cleveland. They hated him and he hated them. Although amid the gloom of defeat a kind of truce wee reached, there was never a real amnesty or oblivion on either side, so that the scheme to re? call the shade of Cleveland and to set this up as 'a deathshead la the com? edy of a mock funeral would be too dastardly and too ghastly for be? lief If It were not for the last des? perate play of a clique of discredited politicians, aeeklag to rule or ruin *at any cos?..

Judge Parker is put forward to deliver the final stroke of the bravo, and under the pretense of hon? oring the memory of Cleveland, to plunge a blade, reeking with poison, artfully prepared.

"There Is no reason why a Demo? cratic national convention should go out of It way to signalise one former Democratic president more than an? other nor any more reason why it should rush upon Cleveland with a frensy of words than with a hysterical shriek it should rush upon Buchanan; each, Buchanan and Cleveland, hav? ing had the misfortune to divide the party.

Possibly Due to Fact That Less Whiskey Is Drunk In Hot Summer Weather. The accounts of the North Augusta dispensary for the past month were gotten in shape yesterday, showing the condition of affairs to be in clear jam-up shape. The average sales for the past month have been about 600 gallons of whiskey, which Is about 25 per cent less than the average sales during the winter months. This decline Is prob? ably due to the advent of the hot weather, and some say that the "blind tigers" In Augusta have gotten better able to cope with the local situation, and are supplying the demand to such an extent as to detract from the dispensary sales, ins usual, nobody will "stand for" this statement, al? though any number are willing to repeat It.?Augusta Chronicle.

New Provision of Law cuts the Ex? press Companies Out of Govern, nient Business. The treasury officials have only re? cently discovered a highly interesting fact in regard to the appropriations for sundry- civil expenses of the gov? ernment which escaped general at? tention at the time the bill was en? acted. It pertains to the shipment of fractional silver coin from the several sub-treasures of the United States to banks in various parts of the country. It now appears that in the push at? tending the passage of the sundry civil bill John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, caused to be inserted in the measure a provision that one-half of the $60,000 appropriation for the transportation of coin shall be expend ed for registered mall. Heretofore shipments of currency have uniformly been made by express and the express companies have been oblige to make good the lost by theft or other acci? dent in transportation. The express companies are up In arms against the new order of things, especially.as Mr. Daakam, chief of the bureau of public moneys in the Treas? ury Department, has ruled that the law means that ISO,000 should be ex? pended by registered mail before any part of the appropriation is expend? ed for express charges. It is believed at the Treasury Department that, a? the charge for registering a package is only eight cents 130,000 will be suf flcent to pay the entire cost of trans? portation coins under this system for a year, and the express companies will therefore lose the entire bus? iness. Objections of several kinds have been raised against the change in the method of transporting fractional coin. Under the postal regulations the weight of packages, must be lim? ited to four pounds each. This regu? lation will prove to be a decided in? convenience when it comes to ship? ping a large amount of coin from a subtreasury to any particular bank. Another objection Is that the con slgnee can collect only to the extent of 125 In case of loss by registered mall. The express companies are responsible for the full value of the packages they handle for the govern? ment, and they are bonded for that purpos*. The new plan Is also criticised be? cause of the fact that the mails may be so increased in bulk or weight by certain routes by the shipment of sil? ver coins that the government will be obliged to contract for additional screen-wagon service in certain cities, and the additional weight may In? crease the cost of carrying the mails on certain railroads. The later con? tingency is hardly probable, but It Is one of the possibilities of the new or? der of things. The postoffice department will probably not regard the new system with any favor, for the packages of silver will be sent under frank, and It was long ago demonstrated that the franking privilege forms anything but an economy in many cases, and that there would be no postal deficit If It were not for the great volume of free business.
