iehting to the world such charac-
.er as a representative American,
worthy to fill the seat of Washing
ION and preside over a nation cele-
brated everywhere for the virtue
and intelligence Of its citizens, the |
purity and chastity of its people,
their adherence to the beastial, bru-
fish propensities of the sensualists
and moral lepers who occasionally
disgrace every community. The
murderer is properly condemned by
the law and his punishment is death.
The assassin of character and the
man who will under any circum-
stances seduce from the path of vir-
tue the innocent and confding, or
to crafty his hellish desires make
even one woman to fall from her
high estate, designed by the AL
mighty, should be made an outcast
against whom every mans hand
should be raised, and his death
should be made more odious than
even that of the murderer. The
stories as to Cleveland are not of
Republican origin but find their
source from representative Demo
Gratis.
The second President of Repub-
lie that has ever visited the United
States during his term of Office is
now within our borders, and was in
Washington this week. The person
of whom we speak is the President
of San Salvador, who has been on a
visit to France and England, and is
on his way back to his Central
American home. Of course it would
not have been proper thing for the
head of one Republic on this cont
nent to enter the domain of sister
Republic and not go and say chow
d. you do" to the Chief Executive
thereof; so President Zalvirar tool
little run over here from New
York the first of the week to Sc,
President Arthur, and the two hat
quite as agreeable a time togethe
as the Governors of the Carolina
had or are reputcd to have had oil
one occasion. The other Presiden
of a Republic that has been within
the bounds of our happy Union wa
the Chief Executive of Guatemala
also in Central America. We hav,
had as guests two or three eX-Presi
dents, an Emperor, Dom Pedro o
Brazil, a King, Kalakaua of tn,
Sandwich Islands, and some othe
notable persons, but as they haven
seemed so much like relations a
real Presidents of Republics, w
have not felt with the former s,
much like expressing our hearty in
terest in their welfare and inquirin,
after the health of their familie
when shaking hands with them a
we have with the latter.
1t may be noted in this connection
with what ease a Republic can rul
itself. President Zalvirar has bee
absent from San Salvador for sever
al months, and it is stated that tn
affairs of state are moving alon,
down there with the utmost smooth
ness; and at the present writing til
only representative of our Admins
tration in Washington is a singh
member of the Cabinet, the Pres
dent, the rest of his ministers, an
most of the Bureau officers havin
gone away on leave of absence, an
yet this "best government that tn
sun ever shone upon" is going alon
as quietly, steadily, and with a
much poetry of motion as Mrs. Law
yer Lockwood on her velocipede o
the smooth-paved streets of tn
Capital, and it doesn't show hal
as much of its hoofs in its pro
gress.
The interest in the Worlds Expo
sition will be wonderfully enhance
by the exhibits of the several D,
partments of the Government. TIL
Executive Board, to whose hand
has been entrusted the making {
this exhibition, consists of represel
tatives from all the Department
the Smithsonian Institute, and tn
Agricultural Bureau. We lear
from Col. G. S. Lyford, U. S. A
President of this Board, as he VIZ
of that which made the govern
ment exhibit at Philadelphia, thu
> the work is progressing splendid,
! and that while the displays at Loui
, vile and Cincinnati will be yer
: fine, that made at New Orleans wi
: eclipse all previous efforts. Coz
