Was q Travelling Man.

A Cincinnati travelling man has
bright little daughter who doesn't get to
see him very often, as his business
keeps him away from home great deal.
The other day the members of the fam
ily and several visitors were watching
her playing with a lot of kittens. She
was talking to them, and coddling them
in her sweetest kind Of way, and this is
what the folks heard her say:
: "Oh, you cute little kittens. You dear,
sweet little things. Here comes your
mamma, and you win be glad to see her,
wont's youw Then her voice became
sad-1But where is your papa! I never
see him around, and he doesn't come to
see you, does he? wonder who your
papa is: Oh, know. guess he must
be a travelling man. and the laugh the
company gave the little girl was the first
intimation she had that she was being
overheard.

Opening the National Park.

Extensive preparations are being made
for the opening of the Yellowstone Park
hotel on or about August LIST. 1t is ex-
pected this event will take place about
the time of the driving of the last spike
in the Northern Pacific railroad. 1t is
understood that both occasions will be
graced by the presence of a number of
distinguished people, both from abroad
and in this country. President Arthur
and party will undoubtedly be present.
He has already made his arrangement to
visit the National park about that time.
There will arrive at or before that time
in New York a party of about thirty En-
glishmen, including Sir John Rose and
Sir John Pender, and their ladies. This
party will be joined by about the same
number of Americans, and the whole
party will proceed in special car to the
Northern Pacific, and over that road to
the National park.
It is expected that the park will be in
readiness for the distinguished guests by
that time. A branch road to the border
of the park will be constructed by the
Northern Pacific company, and roads,
bridges and telegraph facilities complet-
ed within the next month. 1t is under
stood that the Secretary of war has
authorized the military commander Of
the division of the Missouri to detail an
engineer to proceed to the park and sup
erintend the construction of roads and
bridges. There seems to be some diff
Guilty about the disposition of the super
intendent of the park and assistants re-
Gently appointed by the secretary of the
interior under the act of last winter. A
letter has just been received by Secre-
tary Teller from P. H. Conger, the super
intendent, asking whether there Is any
provision for the subsistence, or compen-
sation in lieu of subsistence for these
men, and whether he will be justified or
not in providing necessary quarters and
in maintaining them. He says their use
fulness will be greatly impaired if some
provision is not made for their mainten-
ance. 1t appears that the act omitted to
make such provision; it appropriates
$40, 1000, of which $1,000 was to be paid to
a superintendent and $500 to each of ten
assistants for the year, leaving balance
of $4,000 to be expended in the con-
struction of roads and bridges under the
direction of an engineer to be appointed
by the secretary of war. Now these ten
assistant superintendent are to be
placed under the law at different points
in the park, but the only quarters are

those at the mammoth hot springs. It
can readily be seen that all of the super
intendents cannot be stationed there,
and yet they are without quarters else
where. The matter is under con-
sideration by Secretary Teller, and may
be referred to the treasury department
for a decision as to whether any part Of
the sum appropriated can be used for
maintaining and providing quarters for
these guardians of the park.
Telegraphic facilities. The president
yesterday sent an inquiry to the chief
signal officer asking him what facilities
could be arranged to secure telegraphic
communication with the Yellowstone
park during the presidential visit. The
reply was that the signal corps could put
a wire in there at the rate Of one hun
dred miles week. The wire can be con-
nected with the nerest present telegrap-
hic point, Fort Ellis or Fort Washakie,
and be completed into the park before
August LIST, the time now fixed for the
president to start on the trip. The field
telegraph can follow him from place
t. place in the park, if it should be
thought best, with much greater rapi-
dity.

In some "reminiscences Of Daniel Boone by
writer in the Denver Tribune the following
story is told: 'When he went back to his family
in Virginia, after roaming around for two or
three years, he found baby in the house. Mrs.
Boone, who had given him up for dead, hast
ened to explain that it belonged to his brother,
who had been left in charge while Daniel went

This effort to create the impression that there

In the light of such talk as this we might
be induced to give the whole conundrum up;
but so far as Indiana is concerned, we must
accept Mr. McDonalds clearer and stronger
statement and understand that while both
parties are in favor of tariff reform, the Re-
publican party is for such reform on the line
of needful and proper protection to Ameri-
can industry, while the Democratic party
favors the removal of all such protective
duties, the importation of foreign made

manufactures, and the adjustment of the
rates to a point where such importation will
be most stimulated in the interests of a reve-

BROTHER JOSIAH GwIN has decided views as
to the candidate for the presidency in 1884.
His eye is toward Gramercy Park and Grey
stone. He says in the last number OF his
paper, the New Albany Public Press:
I'VE have had no such leader as Tilden in
the last quarter century. His conduct of
the campaign of 1876 was mastery, and,
should he re-enter the field of politics. the
campaign of 1884 will be alike great in con-
ception, faultless in the execution of details,
and successful in the end. How small do
the scandals now appear which were raised
to injure him as candidate! And what is
left to bring against him? All the old
charges have been .disproved-all the old
powder burned. Tilden is an ideal states
man. Let him again take up the Democratic
standard, and he will find an enthusiastic fol-
lowing at his back"

THE Cincinnati News, the organ of Ohio
Democracy, finds it essential to fight shy of
the extreme ground taken by some of the
party leaders on the tariff question. There
is Mr.. Watterson, constantly shouting him
self red in the face, and there is Frank Hurd,
nearer home, who is a rank freetrader both
OF whom are doing all they can to lead the
Democratic party into the Serbonian bog on
this question, in the very middle of which
Mr.. Mcdonald seems to be serenely floating,
flying his little presidential pennant. The
News is moved to say what it does by the
course OF the New York Sun, which charac
terizes the opposition to Mr.. Randall for the
speakership of the next House as the work
of freetraders. The News says: "There is no
freetrader in the United States, and even
those who are sticklers for a tariff for rev.
enue only so qualify it as to remove the free
trade idea conveyed in the mere
words and their meaning" Such a
remark from leading and influential

wages paid in the United States for similar
service, on the ground that it would tend to

they are unwilling to feed the great republic

the number of females and minors employed
should increase at a greater ratio than the
adult males is the natural result of business
prosperity. A very large per cent of the

featuring it is only possible to supply the
increased demand for labor by drawing on
women and children. The exhibit is very
encouraging indication of manufacturing
prosperity.

been developed in New York city, which, in
its simplicity and in the magnitude of in

THE Washington correspondent Of the Gin

cruelty, sits down upon blooming hopes;
