A reception was given to Gov. Hayes

Mr.. President and Ladies and Gentlemen:
| shall make no attempt to describe
what / have felt during the progress
of this reception, nor what / feel now
that it is drawing to a close. | wish,
in the simplest way and with the few
est words, to thank the citizens of Co.
lumbus and the members of the Gen.
eral Assembly, the State officers and
the people of Ohio, who have taken
| part in it, for their very great kind
ness to me and my family, on this and
many other occasions. The city OF
Columbus and its people have very
many and great claimes to our graft
tude. 1t is more than forty years since
became acquainted in boyhood with
Columbus, and from that day to this
many of my most intimate friends
have been among its citizens. Many
are gone. / look in vain among those
we have met this evening for some
who were once numbered with my
most familiar acquaintance. A few
are here whose acquaintance | made
during that first well-remembered
year of the cholera-the year 1885,
Among these are the chair
man of your executive COM
mittee, Mr.. VIM. Deshler, and
saw then for the first time his older
brothers. But very many Of my early
friends Of Columbus are gone. Among
those | knew and remember we'll for
{ their kindness to me as a boy, and
} who are no longer living, are such well
known citizens of earlier days In this
city as Joseph Ridgeway, ST., Joseph
Ridgeway, Jr. Samuel Medary, Alfred

The Chicago Communists are getting up a
memoria! to Congress praying that the Govern
ment add to the benefits of the Homestead law
by supplying each settler with farming imple-
meuss aud stock Of provisions sufficient to
last year. Impracticable and impossible of
realization as this project Of Government aid
may be, enc of the speakers who advocated it
was not far wrong when he maintained that
Congress would do better to loan money to ac-
tual settlers in the undeveloped regions OF the
West than to vote Tom Scott millions upon
millions to build the Southern Pacific Railroad.
There is no doubt about that. The Commu-
nists are right for once. 1t would be better
use OF the money to help poor mechanics open
up the farms that will some day build the rail-
roads that are needed, than to enrich the subs-
dy-grabbers and Credit-Mobler corruptlonists
that are lobbying for the Southern Pacific job
but poor use Of the money in either case

Some two years ago we had the pleasure Of
visiting the State Reform School at Lansing,
and were shown through the various apart
ments by the gentlemanly superintendent.
Here the boys are taken IN and rescued from
life OF vagrancy, and fitted for one OF useful
ness and responsibility While watching them
at work, we were much impressed with the re-
mark land it has since frequently REQUIRED to
our mlnd) or one OF the ladies composing our
party: "This is a fine place for our boys and
I'm glad they are so we'll provided for,-it will
materially lessen the number of inmates of our
prison, L trust,-but are you aware that the
State Is less generous with our girls boy
who commits crime is sent to this home and
taught profitable trade and given good ed
ucation, while our hundreds of homeless and
friendless girls, who may be guilty OF some
petty imsdemeanor, are sent-where? to the
House of Correction in which place they are
obliged to associate with old and hardened
Criminals OF both sexes
For the welfare OF the communities in which
they live, it is very essential that this class Of
children--girls, as well as boys-sboud be
properly cared for by the State, and we are
glad to see that bill has been introduced into
the Legislature providing for an industrial or
reform school for girls We hope our Repre-
sentatives at Lansing will support the bill.

Mr. q. W. Curtis in Hsrpers Weekly states
the facts as to the equities OF the case I" in
Louisiana with much force, as follows:
:" In the Louisiana matter the equities OF the
case are not upon the Democratic side. The
Democrats ought to confess frankly that they
have attempted forcible revolution IN that
State, and plead that Republican misrule was
intolerable and justified il. They cannot carry
water upon both shoulders. They cannot carry
elections by intimidation, and insist that they
are representatives OF law and order, OF home
rule and OF the people. To say this Is not to
excuse or defend Republican misrule. The
great result Of the long and searching inyesti
CATION Will be unquestionably wiser national
policy in that part Of the country, and II the
people OF the United States soberly think 1t
best that the charges of violence and fraud in
a State election for President shall be investi-
gated and corrected by Congress-, they will
embody their will in a constitutional amend
ment. Such inquiries and corrections may be
more safely left, in our judgment, to the
States themselves"
