POLITICAL NOTES.

Toledo Blade: Senator Morton has
been much abused in his day, and al
most everything has been charged
against him by his enemies; but in
spite of all this he has hold upon the
affections uf the American people, and
is entitled to it 10y his distinguished
services and long, upright public life.
Rockville Republican: But these
papers, Democratic are further ag-
grievtd because Orth is a weak man
before tine people. They had better not
expend too much sympathy on this
point. The Judge has always managed
to get away with the best man the
Democrats have p:tted against him,
AMI will do it again.
Chicago Post and Nail: If anybody
suppnses that Republicans of the West
are tn help shape legislation solely TO
benefit the money-cllangers of Hart
tion act be repealed, and the currency
let alone. 1t will regulate itself in
time without injustice to any section
of a common country.
The platform, barring its length,
meets general approval On all points
except that of the finance there is uni-
versal agreement, and it undoubtedly
expresses the prevalent opinion of the
party in the State. The party is in fa-
vOr of honest money, the payment Of
just debts, but not in favor of any Ileas-
ures which seem to be premature and
disastrous To the business interests of
the cOuntry.-Ind. Republican.
There is rebel doorkeeper whose
duty ii is to hoist the flag over the
House, which deSignates whether that
body is in session. The memories of
the glorious past are so overmastering
to this faithful devotee of the lost
cause that he will not raise the flag in
person: that duty is performed 10y u
negro ut ten cents dty. When it
comes to lowering the flig the cOnfed-
crate performs that proud aud grateful
office himself. How unerringly these
little straws show the current of the
Southern mind.
The New York Graphic referring to
the independent" press and the Bah
cock trial says; They inferred his guilt
because he WAS il nirinter of the Pres
ident's family. They hoped that he
WAS guilty, and SO they assumed that
he was, and denounced him. The It.
Louis correspondents appear to hav" Il
curiouSly concurrent interest in the
same direction. constructing their syl-
logism as follows: NJ jor PremiSe-
BIlcuck is Grants private secretary.
Minor Prtmisr-if DlhcOck is guilty
il will diS..rrdit Grant AMI help the
Democratic party. Conclusioll-Tlcre
fore Bibcock is guilty.

The Centennial.
How to Secure Your Boarding I'm Advance.

Among the numerous plans for max
ing the hotel and boarding-hou ac-
cOmmOdationS IF Philadelphia available
to visitors during the Centennial year,
is that of the Hotel and Boarding
House Association.
On the first of May next. according
to late estimates the hotels will have
capacity of $1,000 guests, and the board
ing houses approximating $500 in
number, a capacity of 10000.
To which may be ..dded "A large num-
Der of private dwellings additional,
which will he opened to visitors if nee
essary. The hotels, of course, will be
always accessible, but with the board
ing houses it is different, they being
widely distributed and unregistered
and to render this class of accom-
mOdations available to visitors is the
object of the Association.
To this end there is being kept at the
central office a regis er of all reputable
boarding houses in the city, which will
show at any time the vacancies and
schedule of rates of each, and rates will
be opened ut every hotel cooperating
with the association or in the imme-
date vicinity where visitors who fail
to secure lodging at the hotels will be
afforded choice of rooms and board at
any IF the liouses where vacancies oc-
cur, together with guarantee of the
quality and cost of the lodgings offer
ed
In connection, and in telegraph com
munication with the central office, the
association has located twenty-nine
branch agencies in different parts of
the city, where vacancies rs they occur
will be registered aud reported to the
main office, enabling agents at the ho-
tel or other places, to transfer visitors
from hotels, that are full To hotels and
boarding houses where there are vacan-
cies.
1t has already registered and is iii OPP

boarding houses, having a capacity of
forty-five thousand guests, the number
daily increasing.

The post of honor this month is ac-
corded To w. {. Brocklesby's account
of Trinity College, Hartford. 1t is
profuSely illustrated. The cut which
will chiefly excite interest is the first
giving view of the buildings which
make up the quadrangle that it is pur-
posed presently to complete. Prof.
Brocklesby says:
The College is designed in eIrly
French Gothic, Il style devoid IF excess
i've ornamentation, and depending for
its effect upon implicitly and boldiless of
detail, and the Harmonious grouping of
windows and other prominent features.
The disposition of broad MASSES of
stone is Il characteristic us well as !.
very pleasing introduction of objective
points of emblematic sculpture. y cul-
or contrast in the material of the build
ings is obtained 10y the use of brown
stone.

That Bridge.

Col. A. l.. Anderson, City Engineer,
and also Col. VIM. u. Merrill, gentle
man eminent in the same profession,
have given it as their opinion that
Kemper Lane Bridge Gan institution
dear to the hearts of the Walnut Hills
people J. is in Il dangerous condition.
On Recommendation of the first name d
gentleman the Board of Public Works
ordered it to be blocked, to be eventually
torn down and rebuilt i'll safe manner.
This is not agreeable to the tax payers
in that locality, and great deal of in.
terest is manifested to have the order OF
demolition reversed.
TO this end q great deal of talk has
been expended, which assumed definite
shape yesterday evening by the appoint
ment of a committee to wait upon tue
Board of Public Works to demonstrate
against the proposed measure. The
Committee, composed OF the following
named gentlemen, Messrs. Gould, SImp
kinson, Urner, Kemper, Sellew, Dodds,
Reno and Pickering, called at the rooms
of the Board of Public Works this mora
ing, and an informal talk between them
and Col. Anderson was had, which re-
suited substantially in the question be-
ing just whore it WIS before.
col. Anderson, in that decided and
Straightforward manner which charac-
terizes all his business Intercourse, told
them that it was an unsafe structure,
and In his Judgment it should come
down; that he did not wish to have his
statement alone received, but that he
courted thorough investigation of it,
and would suggest that eminent en-
gineers be consulted-men who would
have the confidence of all of them-and
he was certain that the result would be
that his judgment would be sustained
Take the word of no bridge contractor,
who had an interest in pronouncing it
safe, but OF those who were disinterested.
The trouble with the committee seemed
to be that il the bridge was torn down
that it would be five or six years before
one was replaced. President Bell stated
that there was money enough in the
Treasury at the present time for tha t
purpose, and Col. Anderson made the
statement that he could have 1t done by
next spring.
This view of the matter had sort OF
quoting effect upon the Committee, who
saw at u glance that they would not be
cut off from civilization as long as they
expected, and when convinced of this
"stired 10" better frame Of mind, but
