will grow stronger day by day. Long before
the convention meets he will scarcely be
mentioned.
It is safe to say that the Democratic party
will have to contend with either Blaine or
Sherman, most probably the former. As to
the outcome there can be little doubt. With
q reasonably popular candidate on the Demo-
cratic side, neither of the men named can
hope to succeed. It seems next to impos-
sible to resusoitate the Grant boom unless
some new issue or some new excitement is
forced upon the people. This it now seems
impossible to do, but few weeks or months
will determine the matter positively.

THE PRESIDENCY.
Il FcU Representations By Col. Mcclure, of
Philadelphia.

Il FctU REPRESENTATIONS y Col. Nc CIure, of
Philadelphia.
The Hon. A. X. Mcclure, editor of the
Philadelphia Times, writes from Washing
ton, after weeks observations: "There is a
chill on the Grant movement oil through ad-
ministration circles, and the stalwart lead
ers, who now embrace nearly all the promi-
nent Republicans, are intent on systematic
effort to defeat the third nomination.
Secretary Sherman is the favorite
candidate of the President and most
of the cabinet for the succession, and
the little that is left of the Schurz element
in official channels opposes Grant because it
is unwilling to risk the return of the Grant
surroundings in the highest places of the
government. There is quiet but profound
feeling of hostility to Grant here among the
better classes of both citizens and officials.
Sherman will be beaten in convention, for
these reasons: Because he is the admins
tration candidate, and next because he
is fairly chargeable with the Louisiana in
fanny of 1876. The Republicans will not
load themselves either with Hayes or the
means by which Hayes was given the Presi-
dency over his competitor, who was elected
by ESQ, 1000 majority. There will be a clear
start in the next battle. It may be Grant;
it may be Blaine; but it will not be the
favorite of Hayes or one of the Louisiana
visiting statesmen. Among the most intelli-
gent representative men from the recon-
struoted States, inquiry has failed to develop
anything substantial in the freely-reported
Grant revolt among the Southern Conserva-
tlves. There has been considerable Grant
sheet lightning around the political horizon
in the South; but, while visible to all, it ia
harmless. That the Southern people lust at
this time prefer Grant to any of the stalwart
Presidential candidates is quite clear to all:
indeed, it is frankly confessed on every hand,
and, if Grants election was regarded as in
evltable without the support of the South,
he could carry more than half the Southern
States, but if the South should be called up-
on to prefer Grant to any one
OF the prominent Democratic
candidates, the invitation would be declined
with thanks. believe that the Southern
attitude towards Grant may be correctly
summed up in single sentence: If he can
certainly be elected without the South, he
can get half or more of the Southern electo-
raj votes. If he needs any electoral votes
IN the South to make him President he will
not receive them. Looking at the South as
factor in the Grant movement, regard it
as likely to fail in its effective Offices, and
Grant mnst be taken as straight Republi-
can, If taken at all, as the standard bearer
for 1890"

THE GATE CALLED BEAUTIFUL,

And they brought man lame from his
birth, and laid him daily at the gate of the
temple. which is called Beautiful
Lame from our birth-and daily we are
brought,
And at tho gate called Beautiful are laid,
Sometimes ito wonder makes us free and glad !;
Sometimes its grandeur makes US half
afraid. FIT.
The gate called Beautiful; and yet methinks
No word can name it that begins to tell
How soar its pillars to the highest heavens,
And how their roots take hold on lowest hell.
With what designs its panels are inwrought,
Ard glorifed by rise and set of suns,
And Junes of blossom and October trees!
80 beautiful, yet never quite the same;
The pictures change with every changing
Or sweeter things come stealing into view:
Which stranger things had hidden by their
power.
There all the stars and systems go their way;
There shines the moon 80 tender in her grace;
And there, than moon or stars or sun more fair,
The blessed wonder of the human face.
Faces and faces! some of children sweet,
And some of maidens fresh and pure and
true;
And some that lOvelier are 1T evening time
Than any can be while the years are few.
This is the gate called Beautiful; it swings
To music sweeter than was heard that day
When st. Cecilia, 'rapt in ecstaoy
Heard through her trance the angelic rounde-
lay.
Music of little children at their play;
OF mothers hushing them to sleep and
dreams;
OF all the birds that sing in all the trees;
OF all the murmuring of all the streams.
And at this gate, not at wide intervals,
Are we, lame from onr birth, laid tenderly,
But daily, and not one day passes by
That we look not upon this mystery.
Gate of the temple? surely it is that!
It opens not into vacuity;
For all its beauty, it is not SO fair
But greater beauty there can be-
Thy beauty, o, my Father! All is thine
But there is beauty in Thyself, from whence
The beauty Thou hast made doth ever flow
In streams Of never-failing afluence.
Thou art the temple! and though am lame. s.
Lame from my birth, and shall be till l die
enter through the gate called Beautiful,
And am alone with Thee, o Thou Most high

THERE is lively prospect of war be-
tween Abyssinia and Egypt, King John, of
Abyssinia, being now on the march to the
Egyptian border at the head of his army.
Neither country is financially able to main
tain war for any length of time, but it
often happens that people in such fix fight
more desperately than others, and it is there
fore hardly safe to predict either a short or a
bloodless war. King John possesses the ad-
vantage of an English military education,
which may stand him in good stead at this
time.

FERNANDO WOOD yesterday offered bill
in the House (by request) providing for re-
bate of the tax on tobacco to the amount of
difference between the present and the form
er ta1-some three cents a pound. We are
glad to see that Mr.. Wood absolves himself
from responsibility for the bill, for it is q
scheme of grand larceny upon its face, de-
signed to rob the treasury of something like
three hundred millions of dollars. A scheme
to return the excess of the former tax on
whisky over the present tax would be just as
reasonable and just as honest.

The commission appointed to investigate
the subject of yellow fever in Cuba reports
that the pestilence exists in every town of
considerable size in the island, though not
always in a pronounced form. The only
way, therefore, to prevent its importation
into this country is to interdiot all traffic
with Cuba, but this seems impossible under
present trade regulations.

he thought lower Third street would have to
be abandoned for general traffic, and the
bridge should be made across Fourth or
Fifth street. MI. Kelly had no fault to find,
but he did just ask for relief as soon as prao-
ticable.
Gen. Becker said the whole thing in nut
shell was that the petitioners wanted to use
their property without damage from the rail-
roads, as they were allowed to use theirs
without interference. Upon this point he
was in earnest, and the petitioners would
insist upon their rights.
Aid Dowlan had another objection to
urge. The railroad company was in the
habit of making up thier trains on the Third
street crossing. This should be prevented.
Mayor Dawson was fully impressed with
the Importance of tho question, in view of
the great amount of railroad business, which
had developed during the year. However,
he had had interviews with the railroad
authorities, and they manifested desire to
meet the city in any reasonable proposition.
So far as he was individually concerned he
favored the plan of bridging the streets, as
afording the only secure plan; and that the
bridging should be done above Third street.
1t was we'll known that the city was out of
funds for such purpose, but he wanted to
impress his hearers that this very
thing was under consideration by the city
authorities, and they were not negligent in
the matter. 1t took time in view of the
fact that there wasn't money to make the
improvements. rs
Mr.. Willius interrupted to call attention
to what the "Business Union" had done, land
the city had no money at the time to pay
for what was pledged. .s-......
Mayor Dawson explained about the legis-
lation which brought about the purchase,

Mr.. Murray said that this whole business
was in the hands of q council committee,
and the city engineer was engaged on plans
and estimates for just such bridges as were
asked. In view of what was being done, he
thought the criticism and feeling displayed
was somewhat unjust.
Gen. Becker said if this had only been
told them early in the meeting, much of the
discussion could have been avoided. J..
Aid. Bell had few words to say about
the railroad boom. 1t was matter CT graft
flcation to him to see such men as Gen.
Becker, Edmund Rice and others, the fathers
OF these railroad projects, come in and COM
plain of the encroachment of their own
children. They had located their homes,
and the railroads had outstripped their wild
est imagination in accommodating business.
Following this, the visitors left, and the
committee on streets took up regular bust
ness, deferring the above matter for further
consideration, after conference had been had
with the railroad authorities.

against accidents to life or property. In fact
the meeting was official in character, as the

The meeting was called to order by Aid.
Rhodes, who presided, and called
up the business of the
meeting by submitting the petition of
George L. Becker and others, in reference to
bridging the street crossings through Trout
Brook valley, and to adopt some means, such
as changing the heavy grade, to prevent
whistling, steam escape, ringing of bells and
like annoyanoes complained of by property
holders and residents along Trout Brook val
ley. The petition has already been publish
ed in the official proceedings of the council
in the GLOBE.
Supplemental to the above the petition of
Hon. q. H. Sibley, likewise published, was
read by President Rhodes. -.
Gen. Becker took exception to Gen. Sib
ley's assertion that different grade than the
one at present in use, was ever con-
templated.' He believed the original
grade had under cotemplation was to make
the grade less preoipitnous, and if it were re-
duced from Third street to Lafayette avenue
it would obviate the whole trouble as now
complained of.
President Rhodes declared that it was his
understanding that ga change of grade'' was
contemplated by the St. Paul & Manitoba
Railroad company.
Aid. Brennan said Mr.. J. J. Hill had SO
informed him. He had expressed the in
