The Cause of Hayes Visit.

q Party Machine


q Party Machine
A special Washington dispatch to
the St. Louis Republican, under date
Of the 22d ult., gives US the probable
reason for Hayes absence from
Washington at this time. The dis
patch is rs follows:
Mr.. Hayes will undoubtedly re-
main away from Washington until
the close of the campaign. Life
here would be painful to him and he
l:new it would be before he left.
He went away because the managers
insisted on running the departments
as political machines. He was
obliged to yield to The necessity of
the party, bnt he was unwilling to
stay and witness his own humilia-
ton. AS soon as he was away the
politicians took command and the
civil service OF the Government is
now used as party machine.
Besides the Wholesale assessments
that have been made, there are 9TH
er misdoings going on which Mr..
Hayes once said SHOULD never be
tolerated. A large number of the
clerks of the Treasury Department
are daily employed, to the neglect
OF their regular duties. in directing
campaign documents for the Repub-
lican Congressional Committees.
Others are busy translating docu-
ments into French and German,
while others are preparing cooked
up figures for campaign purposes.
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen
has prepared letter charging the
Democratic party With misfeasance
in the management of the Post
Office Department, and Commission
er Bentley another defending the
Republican management OF the Pen
sion Office. These are given curren-
cy by means of the pretence that
they are official documents prepared
and issued in the regular course of
official duty.
Tho old State associations have
been revived contrary to MIR. Hayes
order directing their discoNtinuance,
and they have hired roomsiand have
tlefiantly flung their banners 10 the
breeze. The Post Office has tam
pered with the mails and has dis
covered in franked mail bag COM
ing from the Democratic Congress.
sional Committee package of cir
culars that ought not to have been
franked. This is the only apparent
irregularity on the part of the Dem
ocrats that has been found out, and
a good deal of noise is made about
it. As matter of fact the package
was carelsssly put in the wrong bag
by an employee, the Committee hav-
ing tried to be careful not to violate
the law. Everything bat proper mat
ter has been expressed, but in this
instance package intended for ex-
press was put in mailbag. Post
master Aigner says that the Repub-
licaus have not made any such mis-
take, although it is perfectly we'll
known that they have, coutra y to
law used rubber stamps for franks.

A REMARKABLE Spor.-When, in
the early days of July, John Abbott
of Gold Hill, New, was brought
from tho steaming depth of the Un-
ion, his head crushed by the falling
wall-plate, he wa. laid on the floor
of the Office and medical aid sum-
monel to minister to his wants, al
though j.: was plain he must die.
Next morning Superintendent Room
ey noticed where the dying man had
been placed that his outlines lay
like shadow on the floor. He
ordered the .janitor to clean the
boards, which was done. Before
Rooney went to dinner the shadow
reappeared. He ordered the floor
thoroughly scrubbed, and went to
his family. Next morning the floor
showed that vigorous application
or soap and bursh had been made,
and the floor was white and clean.
But during the day the shadow re-
turned, and at night there it lay as
though the man was still waiting
death on the floor. Next day
Rooney ordered the floor painted.
eWith the coming of the paint pot
the shadow vanished, but after q
day or two returned and once more
lined itself on the Office iloor Room
ey again sent for the painter and
had the second and heavy coat of
paint put not only where the shadow
lay cut over the entire door. This
was his last command Of "Out
damned spot" but it would not out.
In a few days there it was again,
and with each day it grew more dis
tinct. Even strangers at length be-
gan to notice it and to comment on
its resemblance TO human form.
It's presence at length became intol-
erable, and Rooney had all the
boards of the floor on which this
heavy and terrible shadow rested,
taken out and replaced with new.
The paint brush then followed, and
now that outlined figure from tue
floor has disappeared.

AN IMPOSITION UPON the PEOPLE.
"Ths Only show shas Faithfully
Keeps It's Word" ~

Coles circus, taken rs Q whole. IL no
doubt equal to any circus that has Wis
tied Virginia City for some years past.
Still tho performances by It last evening
was q great disappointment to . large
portion Of the audience present, and was
far from satisfactory to anybody. Ow-
ing to the hurry OF tho company to 60
away, the performance was out short OF
many Of its best features, and closed at
9 o'clock. fully q hour earlier than 1t
closed ON the previous evening. And o
half hour after the performance for the
evening commenced the m%snageris (''to
which, with the circus, n ticket secures
admission'') was on It's winding way up
the mountain.
It appears that among the many
things cut short Of the advertised pro.
Rramme were the failure Of the horse to
jump through the hoop OF FIRE. the fail.
ure OF the much-talksd Of 1.-THE only
genuine electric light" and the failure
OF Mr.. Gardner to turn q double somsr.
sault from the spring. board over more or
less elephants, camels and horses. And
yet this circus IL ''the only show that
faithfully keeps its word" Although
no allusion was made in the advertise
ments OF the circus company to an extra
charge for reserved seats, the manage
ment last evening had the u~nblushing
cheek to eItort from visitors desiring
reserved sests. fifty cents extra for each
seat.
The practice OF circus companies cut
ting short the performances Of their last
evenings engagement from their adver.
tised programme lie nothing less than an
imposition upon the people, and ought
to bs criticised by the press without
mercy. After making q reputation by
giving ono or two good performances, 1t
IL simply obtaining money under false
pretenoes to deprive persons who attend
the last evenings performance OF any
part OF the advertised programme. Pat
rons Of q circus are entitled to all they
pay for.
To circus.goers in towns on this coast
that may be visited by Coles circus the
Ngws would advise: Do not delay going
to see II until the last evenings per.
Torrance unless you are willing TO be
dsfrauded OF your money. Attend the
first evenings performance. or not at
oil. Trust no man who boasts that MS
show Is ''the only show that faithfully
keeps It's word"
