President Cleveland.

One of the arguments used against
Grover Cleveland during the election
was that he had not shown the ability
necessary to conduct the affaira of the
National Government. When 1t vaa
lyged that he had made an able and
efficient Governor, we were met by the
reply that the Governorship of New
York was very email affair ns com.
pared with the Presidency of the United
States.
The argument was shallow and falla.
cioue. The population of this State Is
over five millions. This Is greater
number Of people than were in all the
United States under Washington and
John Adams, and as many IA under
Jefferson during his frat term. It Is o
greater number than Queen Elizabeth
ruled over la her empire.
The affairs Of the Empire State have
been well managed by Gov. Cleveland,
and he has no cabine, Ct advisers of his
own selection. He depends totally on
himself alone.
At Washington the affairs or the
. nation will bewell managed by President
Cleveland. He will probably have
around him in his Cabinet such advisers
as Samuel J. Randall, Allen @. Thur
man, Senator Lamar, ex Senator MoDon.
tald, Senator Bayard, ex Senator Eaton,
or men of like character. While Gro.
YER Cleveland WILL be President his

The EsPOOr Box"
rBoston Commercial Bulletin


The poor box of the English courts is
a great institution, and it would be a
good thing if we had something of the
sort here. It's use is to aid people whom
the law oppressed and the judges, who
in the English courts interfere in way
that would never be tolerated here, seem
to take deal of pleasure in drawing on
this poor box in aid of prisoners whose
situation has excited their sympathy.
A little incident Of courtroom life Will
illustrate the point I have in hand. A
poor servant girl who had been sum-
moned from distant part of the king
dom to give her testimony in a case
and who had paid her own railway fare,
and the expenses attendant upon her
detention as witness, found that there
was no money coming from the court to
reimburse her, since the person under
arrest against whom she had testified
had not been convicted-was discharged
as not guilty. The Judge was indignant
over the situation IN which the poor girl
was left by the workings of law and red
tape, and ordered lbs Sd, the amount
Justly due her, to be paid out of the
poor box.
AuOUnOI 4uSGdACS I'll uA1C IduuY WOEk@
ings of this poor box comes to my mind,
and with the one have presented will
suffice to show the advantages arising
from its existence.
A poor woman was brought into
court for not sending her son to school
was arrested under the compulsory
education act. On looking into her case
the Judge discovered that she was very
destitute widow, and that she put her
son at some work, when the law required
him to be in school, in order to save
them both from starvation. When these
facts leaked out in the course of the trial,
the hearted judge growled over the
case, and excitedly asked the officer
making the arrest why he had not told
him all this before; and he not only gave
her money out of the poor box to meet
the fine which the law forced him to
levy on the woman, but he gave her
more money from the same box to re-
ieve her restitution.
The money in this courtroom poor
box comes from the voluntary contribtf-
tons of generous people who fully rec.
ognize its usefulness, and from deposits
in it of unclaimed witness fees.

THE RUINED COTTAGE.
By FRANK c. SMITH

Back from the road
In the shade of the wood,
ands gray, little cottage, meath the hi I;
But the porch is overgrown
BY the myrtle sere and brown,
and all about the place is sad and stlh.
Years long have passed
Since its halls echoed last,
To the chime of merry voices, dear TO me-
And my heart is filled with tears,
AS glance along the years,
Thinking Of the time that used to be.
There. high aloof
teers the quaint gabled roof,
Wit its tall arched windows reaching out;
But they scarcely can be seen
Through the tangled eglsnune,
That has wrapped its gracious mantle all ABOUT
There is the riH
With its sad music still,
and the grove-sheItered banks fair and CAIN;
Where the thrushes chant their song,
In the shadows, all day long,
aud the rocks repeat the echo of their psalm'
All, as gaze
Down the old by-ways,
Where so oft. I strolled with mother, long age;
All the old familiar scenes,
All nv boyhood's brightest dreams.
Rise like specters, to enhance my lonely woe.
Oh, that once more
could live the sweet life DER,
That was mine when this ruin was my home;
Yet my chastened spirit cries
For the rest beyond the Skies
Where, in peace. the dear ones walttor me TO come

The Endless Platform Railway.
From the New York rribune.l

The rapid transit commission have
decided to visit the office of Albert Speer,
Is Warren Street, to examine the large
moving model which he has made of his
travelling sidewalk, but the day for the
visit has not been fixed. Mr.. Speer's
plan is substitute for elevated railways,
and he has hopes that the commissioners
will put it to practical test. The loco
motion is the same as that used on the
bridges, with the exception that the end
less rope is fiat bar, which he calls ''a
keel" and to which the car or sidewalk,
is permanently attached. Wheels,
precisely the same as those used in the
Paine grip on the bridge cars, grip this
fat bar and move it at any desired
speed. The wheels are fixed at certain
distances along the route and are re-
Volved by stationary engines. The walk
can be run at any desired speed, yet, as
Mr.. Speer asserts, 'sa sick, consumptive,
armless man on clutches can get on and
off at any point with ease and safety"
This is done by means of small transfer
cars which rest half on the stationary
and half on the moving sidewalk, and.
by means of brakes applied on the
wheels resting on the moving part of the
sidewalk, in few yards they attain the
same speed as the moving sidewalk it
self. A passenger disembarks from the
transfer car and steps securely on the
travelling sidewalk. The process is re-
versed when the passenger wishes to
leave the train.
Mr.. Speer says that if he can obtain
permission to build his sidewalk through
Chambers Street, from West to South
Streets, and return through any of the
adjacent streets, the Erie Railway Com
pany will furnish all the money neces-
sary. Several of the Erie directors are
interested in Mr.. Speer's scheme. A
popularity of this invention is that it
can run over streets at any grade, no
matter. how steep. 1t is practically
noiseless, smokeless, and can be either
open or Enclosed.

Canadian Children's Shoes.
From the Montreal witness.l


What is to be said of the boots our
modern Canadian shoe-makers sell for
children? Rough ridges, nails project
ing, high heels, awkward seams. Is
there no humanity about the shoemaker?
One gentleman, after hunting all over
the shoe-makers' shops to find even sur
face on the inside sole and an upper
without seam where no seam should be,
gave up the search. He procured Indian
moccasins for his child, and finds them
admirable. People find themselves with
corns and bunions in adult life and won
der how these came, as they never wore
tight boots. Perhaps if they saw the
boots of their childhood their wonder
would cease. Dentists tell us about the
care of the teeth, but the shoemaker
seldom lectures about the care of the
feet.
