THE BOUNDING BANNING.

Everybody KNOWS banning, OF ONO
There being but few Ohio men about
Washington, he will be readily recalled
Once known, however, he is not easily
forgotten. Like the smallpox, he al
WAYS leaves his marks behind him.
Indeed he left his little individual traces
all over the last Congress, particularly
in the committee room of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, of which
he was chairman. Like himself, how
ever, they were shallow "scabs," which
again unlike him, soon "dry up" This
agreeable and profitable habit, however
Mr.. Banning has never learned. He
was everlasting on Reform" With
him it was a habitual howl Before
breakfast and after dinner in every con-
dition of the Congressional stomach,
there echoed from the watery portals of
its yearning depths the eternal watch
word Reform" And there was good
reason why he should raise this hue
and cry. He was never elected to Con-
gress but with characteristic check,
took the seat to which his opponent
was undeniably elected The Reformer
who stuffed ballot-boXes for him at Gin
cinnati enjoyes the euphonious cogno-
men of Eph Holland. He was con-
victed of the crime, but Banning held
on to his seat, and howled "Tilden and
Reform Holland was pardoned last
week, and his reform brethren in
Cincinnati not treating him kindly, he
has made a confession. But it wont
worry Banning. 1t may, however,
serve to enlighten others as to the real
character of political Reformers of the
Banning and Tilden types Here is a
portion Of it:
He SAYS he knows that Banning was
defeated by 500 votes, but it was my
business to see those votes overcome,
and did it and was caught. never
suffered any punishment was not paid
for. | was caught, but the man | en-
gagged to see elected enjoyed his Office
just the same" He did, and Holland
might have added that while enjoying
it the same man had the sublime impu-
dence to make speeches on the dignity
and purity of the ballot. Continuing
his confession to Cincinnati Com
mercial" reporter, Holland adds -
"Why, ! voted my New York and
Baltimore men that day so many times
was ashamed to turn up with them
We kept going from poll to poll and
back again, till it seemed foolish and
like boys play. You think those hired
repeaters were roughs, without collars
or clean shirts. There is where YOU
are mistaken They looked like gentle,
men, like yourself or myself, neatly
dressed and gentlemanly in appearance
At Republican ward poll they would
say: Give me a Republican ticket,
please and then substitute a Demo.
cratic ticket for it, You may bet your
life nice gentlemanly looking fellow,
asking for a Republican ticket at Re-
publican poll, would not be challenged
At Democratic poll, of course, he was
all right any way" In the face of this
confession Banning has the audacity to
stand for reelection If he gets back
to Congress, the party will have a
chance to put him again at the head OF
the Committee on Military Affairs,
where he can yelp once for "army
reform 7"

BEN HILL has returned home with
bitterness toward the President in his
heart. He says that when the Presi-
dent was inaugurated he went to him
and offered to assist him in improving
the civil service of the South by all the
means in his power; that the President
thanked him, and promised to accept
his suggestions and call on him for i'll
formation. Mr.. Hill made several sug-
gestions subsequently, putting himself
out of the way to get accurate informa-
ton about the fitness of candidates, but
the President did not accept a single
suggestion, and showed no disposition
to do so. 1t angered Mr.. Hill to see
men like Kellogg preferred before him,
and hence he has declined to have any,
thing more to do with Mr. Hayes, or to
hold any communication with him
whatever. This is truly sad. And
yet Mr.. Hills experience is not SO ab-
solutely unprecedented in the history
of this Administration as to be strictly
in the nature of news.

THE Pittsburg Commercial Gazette"
SAYS that there is an undercurrent of
almost excited interest throughout the
country over the possibility and even
strong probability that General Grant
will be nominated for the Presidency
in 1880. If he lives, and nothing un-
usual occures, his nomination and cleo
ton are as certain as any future event
con possibility be. He is to-day more
intensely popular, more perfectly in the
confidence Of the American people than
at any other time in his life His call
to the Presidency for third term is
not merely intended as distinguished
honor, but believed to be essential to
the welfare of the country He is to-
day the man of the Republic, and the
Nation is eager to place upon his brow
a chaplet of honor worn by no man
before-that of third term in the Presi-
dental office

ABOUT ScoLDs.-Be the mass Of printed
assertion what it will, the experience of
the world proves that men can scold as
bitterly and as uniustly as women. There
is always some tender woman to excuse the
short comings of a man; some mother, or
wife, or sister, or daughter, who puts in
her gentle " ohs' and :" ahs" and "my
dears," like sticks to stay the progress of d
torrent, when man gives way to temper.
And around him she folds the mantel Of
her soft excuses thinks of his headache,
or his corns or his tight shoes, or the din
ner he ate that did not agree with him;
and as for her own thorn pricks, she hides
them under lace and velvet and defies her
dearest and nearest friend to see or suspect
them. That is what she does when she is
loving and coniiding; and as with the
other accusation, never resented, that
women have the monopoly of gossip, so it
is with the imputation of scolding. Now
men scold and women scold. TO scold is
the impulse Of an undisciplined human ma
ture, in which both men and women share.
1t shows weakness of character, as well
as intirmity of will, and is almost always Il
complete demonstration of a feeble mind.
A strong, we'll balanced cheerful, sunny
make up, mental and physical has not to
descend to vituperation and offensive talk

1Y In passing sentence recently a promi-
nent criminal judge expressed the opinion
that no other calling was surrounded with
so many hardships as that of a police Off
Ger. This is unquestionably true. In the
discharge of their duties these guardians
of the public peace and safety are not only
subjected to personal insult and abuse, but
exposed to hardships and dangers unseen.
A case in point is that Of Sergeant e. ID.
French, of the Baltimore Police Force,
who in December, 1876, had the misfortune
to break his ankle, which, upon being reset.
became SO severely swollen and rheumatic
as to prevent his walking without the
greatest pain, and continued so for fully
nine months In reciting the facts of the
case, Sergeant French says: "All remedies
which were recommended | tried without
effect until securing Keler's Roman Lini-
ment, which relieved the pains almost in
stantly, and l was enabled to walk by its
use with comparative ease. This Imminent

NEW YonK, sep}. 3.-The custom honse nvesti-

collector, related the process of aler the arrival of
ship how the duties are ascertained, goods handled
and revenue collected. The collector being asked,
els there any reason why class of officials,
well paid, could not do all
this business correctly if the naval officers corps WAS
not supernumerary? He answered.: If you could
appoint official who would always be correct and
honest one class would be sufficient, perhaps 1t
has been estimated that by the correction of errors
more than the expense of naval officers is saved to

MIR. BILL WAsHBuRN evidently wishes to
go before the people as Minneapolis candi-
date for Congress. At the Blaine reception
Monday night Bill Washburn spoke as fol-
lows:
will congratulate you, however, on having
homes in this beautiful city, and express the
belief now that the person is standing in hear
ing of my voice who will live to see
100000 people in Minneapolis. At which time
St. Paul will be a thriving suburban village.
Laughter and cheers.
This is Mr.. Bill Washburn's style. He
seeks to go to Congress in order to build up
his locality and tear down another. His
narrow little soul has not breadth enough for
constable in country village. He is en-
titled to credit, however, for frankness. He
makes no concealment of the fact that his
chief desire to go to Congress is to cut the
throat of st. Paul. Possibly that sword may
be two-edged.

AGRICULTURAL HALL.

The exhibitors in Agricultural Hall yesterday
had on their best bib and tucker; and truly it
is, with its high roof neat and tasteful trim
mings, and great display of the fruits of the
earth, the grandest and most beautiful exhibu-
ton hall ever erected in the Northwest. Fol
lowing is brief mention of most of the
principal features of the hall. First
hibit Of Jones, the Fish Man." Mr.. Jones
had taken especial pains to fit up an extensive
space with large tanks and beautiful aquariums.
He had secured at great pains and expense a
supply of fish native to the waters Of Mime
sofa; had imported direct from the Bermudas
a 50o-pound green sea turtle, and had fine
showing OF gold fish. Unfortunately old gas
pipe had been used for conducting water
entire supply of Minnesota fish were killed by
the poison in less than two hours after the
tanks were filled; and the gold fish were only
saved by prompt change of the water. But
his display is very good, notwithstanding the
various drawbacks.
To the right of the northern entrance is the
magnificent display of the Studebaker wagon
and carriage works, of South Bend, Ind, the
largest and most complete works in the
world.
Close beyond, and covering the largest single
space in the entire hall, is the extensive dis
play of the Gilman Terra Gotta works, of Edo
ra, Iowa. This is one of the most attractive dis
plays on the entire grounds, and the GLOBE
promises more elaborate notice before the
close of the fair.
Then comes Geo. Brackets burlesque bench
show, consisting of two stuffed ours, one
large and fierce looking, the other small and
insignificant, not larger than good-sized cat.
Over the ours is suspended brief account of
the many virtues of the 'dorgs," while
IN the rear is a cartoon representing savage
looking bull terrier with an inoffensive lamb
by the throat, apparently making mutton with
remarkable rapidity. 1t is first-rate take-of
on prominent feature of the State fair and
the dry humor of the show is fully appre-
ciated by all.
Then follows

THE Russian officials have got on their

making the Russian soldiery responsible for
the outrages committed in Bulgaria, and for
an attempt to prevent the execution of the
terms of the treaty of Berlin. But the
other side declare that the reason of the dis
