THERE have been hints in the papers

THERE have been hints in the papers
regarding Cleveland's immoralities.
A great deal of caution has been used
lest they be sold by campaign lies.
We are unwilling to believe some of
the stories put in circulation regard
ing him, they so damage our conf
dence in the uprightness of public
men, but some of these charges are so
explicit, and coming as they do from
the home of Gov. Cleveland we cannot
lightly brush them aside. Will the
Gov. rise and explain, or will he take
high moral ground and pass them bys
If they can be proved the Gov. had
better go on an Arctic exploring expe-
dition as it will grow too warm for
him in this latitude.

The formation of prohibition party
with candidates for president and
president BODIES no good for the
cause of prohibition. When the pro-
hibiting sentiment is strong enou gh
in any state one party or the other
will be sharp enough to see it and
lend its aid to incorporate it in laws
Until it attains that strength it had
better keep out of politics. 1t is the
persistent crankiness of Ohio prohibi'
tionists on this question that has rem.
dered prohibitory legislation futile in
that state so far. 1t is not possible to
have party for every quest ion that
is up, nor to have more than two great
parties in the union. Parties built on
a single issue, unless that issue be one
of national existence are short lived.
The only thing national prohibitionists
can do is to furnish them funds and
help their enemies.-Iovd homestead

The Worlds Exposition.


The Worlds Exposition that is to
be opened at New Orleans, is so far
perfected in all it's departments that
it is now in order to state that it will
be the largest world fair ever held.
The buildings are larger than those
erected for the Philadelphia centen-
NAL. The exhibits our-number those
of any previous exhibition. Each OF
the states, except possibly one or two,
will be represented by an exhibit.
Congress has made loan of one mil
lion dollars in favor of this centennial
exposition. The United States Will
make special exhibit, the largest 1t
has ever attempted, costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and to that
end a mammoth building is being
erected in the group of exposition
buildings. The Mexican government
has appropriated 100000, and will
erect special building for its unique
display. The Central American re-
publics have been aroused from their
long slumber and will be fully repre-
sented for the first time among the
great nations of the earth. At the
exposition one may learn more about
the natural resources of those regions
than by an ordinary visit to Mexico or
Central America. To lovers of music
a visit to the exposition will be graft
flying as there is music hall capable
of seating II. COO persons and stage
large enough to hold 600 musicians.
Grand concerts will be given during
the season. Besides this the fact
ought to be known that New Orleans
is the only city in the Union that has
had an established opera during half a
century. Nor is this all. Strangers
think themselves we'll paid by making
a visit to the quaint old city at any
time. During the carnival season
tens of thousands of visitors flock to
the Crescent city to see the gorgeous
pageants prepared annually at an ex'
pense to the citizens of from 500, 00l
to 200 1000. This lavish expenditure
of money is for the qualification OF
strangers and home folks, and the dis
plays are absolutely free. The citi
zens of the southern metropolis whc
do such large things in such large
way, have pledged their word to make
their Worlds Fair the browning
event of the century and they vii
do il.
