GOVERNOR HoADLY's VIEWS.
About the Tariff, Democratic Plat
form and Candidates.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE World
publishes reply from Governor Hoad-
ly of Ohio, TO inquiries concerning the
issues for the next presidential cam
paign. Governor Hoadly says: 1.-THE
issues upon which the Presidential cam
paign ought to be conducted are of nec-
essity for reform of the abuses engen-
dered by long continued Republican
misgovernment, for economy in public
expenditure, and for restoration of the
Constitution of the United States to its
rightful supremacy. Absolute free
trade is at present an impossibility.
ANY tariff necessity affords incidental
protection to the domestic manufacture
les of the articles it embraces, but pro-
lection should be incident rather than
object. A tariff levied only for public
uses means tariff exclusively on artic-
les which are not produced in the
United States. such as tea and coffee.
| favor tariff for revenue discrimina-
ting, as to encourage labor, and as far as
possible so constructed in intelligent de-
tails as to give relief to oppressed COM
merce and return the American flag to
the seas, but not to shock or rudely
disturb invested capital. This is the
Ohio platform on which we carried
Ohio last fall, and with Tilden or Payne
as candidate we can carry it again this
year."

The Only Cioister in America.

The Monastery ofthe Clustered Nuns
of the Order of st. Dominic, the only
building of the kind in America, just
finished at Thirteenth avenue and
South Ninth street, Newark, was dedi-
Gated on Saturday by Bishop Wigger.
The altar will be consecrated tomorrow
Tuesday morning, by Archbishop
Conigan. After this service is finished
the public will be admitted to the clois-
tered part of the monastery for one
hour, but when five strokes are sounded
on the chapel bell all visitors must
withdraw never again to enter.
AS soon as every lay and clerical visi-
tor is gone from the cloister the door in
the wall dividing the clustered part
from the public chapel and reception
room will be closed with two locks.
One key will be retained by Bishop
Wigger, or his representative, and the
other by Mother Mary Jesus, the Super
ior, and no person can, therefore, enter
or depart from the cloister unless the
holder of each key is present to open
the door. All communications with
the nuns must then be held through the
double iron gratings set eighteen inches
apart in the solid wall, and the wire
nettings over the CRATES will not admit
lead pencil. Two nuns must be present
at every interview with an outsider.
The nuns wear white robes and black
wells.

Spring Fashions.

Wraps are either very long or very
short.
Solid color for hosiery, or very narrow
stripes, for the little ones.
Parasols are very large and much
trimmed with lace and flowers.
Cretonnes are in enormously large
figures, and very rich in color.
Oriental lace and imitation mechIin
are most desirable for white dresses.
Mulberry and mushroom are the
favOrite-new shades for riding habits.
Gloves are of every variety of silk,
Isle thread, kid, dog-skin and wash
leather.
Jet is a favorite trimming, hollow
beads removing the objection to its
weight.
Graduating dresses are now worn in
all colors, though partiality for white
remains.
Changeable silks in pretty combina-
tiOns of all colors have made their ap-
pearance.
Stylish Spring coats are made of cor
duroy velveteen, in mouse and mush-
room shades.
Fichu mantles, made entirely of lace
and lace ftounces on silk foundation,
are pretty styles.
Colored embroideries may be found
in all the cheaper fabrics, and are par
ticularly pretty for ginghams.
The princess dress, with manifold
variations and the gathered yoke, are
the favorite styles for children.
The long redingote, straight from the
neck to nearly the bottom of the skirt,
shirred at the waist, making a fulness
of the bodice and back, is a favorite.

SIX TIMES AN ORPHAN.
Sorrows That can not be Understood
Unless one has Been Mormon.
From the San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post
"Why are you crying, my little boy?"
asked the man.
"Cause dads dead" answered the
boy.
"That's too bad. When did he die?"
"Two months ago."
''Two monthsago! Why, that is very
long time; you ought not by crying
now. You must have been very fond
of your father"
"Well, no, can't say that I was; but
you see he was the only one | ever
had"
"That's SO; but you have a mother,
have you not?''
"No, they're dead, too"
"They!"
"Yes. You see," said the boy be-
tween his s0bs, tive were all Mormons
living down in Southern Utah, where
dad was bishop, and, of course, had
five wives. Well, each one of them
had boy baby about the same age and
they were all named Brigham"
"Isn't it strange to name them all
alilSe?"
"They always name the first one
Brigham if it is a boy, and" said he,
"when we were about four years old,
dad used to drive the little flock of
Brighams down to the farm and make
us weed carrots. The farm was two
miles from town, and one day, when we
were alone, band of Indians kidnapped
the whole of us and took us away ipto
Arizona. The other boys got sick and
all died, but they kept me with them
five years before could escape, which
Il finally did, and got back home.
Well, when 1 got back, Ididn't know
my mother, or even her number, and
she didn't know me, and they all
claimed me as their little lost Brigham.
So they had to draw cuts to see which
one would have me, and was hers till
she died-then the next, and SO on.
My first mother died year after | got
home; then became the son of mother
No. 2. She apostatized and ran away,
and married Gentle, and got killed in
a railway collision. 1 lived with this
mother a year and half. The third
mother got hooked by COW six months
after she had me. The fourth one died
after was thirteen, and my last mother
got drowned six months ago. And now
dads dead. tell you what's the mat
ter, mister, they don't know what real
sorrow is, till they've been an orphan,
like me, six times"

A Woman Printer.

The New York World records the
death at Cleveland in Ohio of Mrs.
Matte Eddy, known as Exit the
tramp" the only female tramp printer
in the United States. She was native
of jamestown, N. Y, and was 32 years
old. She came to New York last March
from New Orleans, after working in
New York, Washington, Chicago, Mem
phis, Jacksonville, Chattanooga, and
other cities. In an inrerview some
time ago she said: II worked in the
Sun office in New York, where there
are ffty-seven cases, and there wasn't a
man there who wouldn't have fought
for me, and the New York printers are
the hardest lot out. If anybody insults

VaSsar College Bread,

Bread" exclaimed Vassar College
girl. "Bread! Well, | should say can
make bread. We studied that our first
year. You see, the yeast ferments, and
the gas thus formed permeates every
where and transforms the plastic mat
ter into clearly obvious atomic struc-
ture, and then, "-"But what is the
plastic material you speak OFF" "Oh!
that is commonly called the sponge"
"But how do you make the sponge"'
"Why, you don't make it; the cook
attends to that. Then we test the
sponge with the thermometer and hy-
drometer and q lot of other instru-
ments, the names of which | don't re-

with it then, but when it comes to the

THE ASSESSOR.
The People Should Understand the
Duties OF this Important Officer.

AS the time approaches for the asses
sor of personal property to perform his
duties, many persons are liable to ac-
cuse him of undue officiousness. The
majority of citizens and tax payers do
not understand what is required by law
Of the assessor.
The following from the instructions
given by the Auditor of State should be
known to all:
1.-The assessor cannot lawfully accept
any statement not sworn to i'm the man
ner above pointed out. 1t is the duty
of the assessor, when he collects the no.
tices previously left, to demand the
oath of the party to his statement. If
the party refuse or evade the oath, the
assessor must make the assessment
himself, and return the party as refus-
ing to swear, although the party furnish
u full unswOrn statement.
"If the party be absent when the as
SCISSOR shall call for the list, or sick, and
unable to make the proper return, the
assessor must make up his list and re-
turn the party absent or sick, as the case
may be. Parties sometimes make up
their lists, depart from home and leave
them for the assessor without swearing
to them. Such lists cannot be received
as lawful returns. They may serve as
more or less valuable information to
the assessor IN making up the return,
according to the character of the party
for integrity and honor. But the as
SCISSOR is not legally bound to be gov
erned thereby, and must not hesitate to
alter and modify them as his infOrma-
ton or judgment may dictate"
The penalty which the assessor in
ours by failure to perform his duty, is
contained in section ISL of the Revised
Statutes of Ohio, which reads as fol-
lows:
SEC. 1921. The assessor is authorized
and required to administer an oath to
every person upon whom he calls to
list property for taxation. Should the
assessor neglect to administer said oath
for every such offense he shall be fined
not less than fifty nor more than two
hundred dollars, unless such person de-
cline to take such oath, or is unable
from sickness or absence. o. L. II, ".

Race With a Whirlwind.
charlotte Observer,1

lCharlotte Observer.
A remarkable and thrilling incident
of Tuesdays storm was related to the
reporter by party who was travelling
on train on the Chester & Lenoir mar
row gauge railroad at the time the in
cident occurred. The train had passed
Lowerysville and was speeding in the
direction of LincOlnton, when all on
board were startled by roaring sound
that could be distinctly heard above the
noise of the train, and on glancing
back they saw an immense whirlwind
tearing along the railroad track, follow
ing behind the train at rapid rate.
The engineer was among the first to
see it, and realizing what the conse-
quences would be, should the whirl-
wind overtake the train he pulled the
throttle wide open and an exciting
race began. The whirlwind was not
more than five hundred yards behind
the train and the anxious passengers
soon became aware of the painful fact
that it was gradually gaining upon
them. There were several ladies in the
car and they cried and carried on at a
terrible rate, while men danced about
the car in their excitement, vainly
yelling at the engineer to put on more
steam.
The race was kept up in this way for
two miles, when the train turned a
curve in the road. AS the whirlwind
struck the curve it left the railroad
track, speeding its way straight a.
through the fields. At the time it left
the track it was not more than three
hundred wards behind the train IT.
was thrilling race and all the pass
engers blessed that curve from the bot
tom of their hearts.

Our Roads.

AS the time draws near to have the
spring work done on our roads, it will
not be amiss to show how the two days
labor Ofpersons between q and 55 years
of age is made use of. The supervisors
duty of course is to call on every man of
this age to work on an appointed day,
and he should see that everyone does
fair days work. Now will say the ma
jority do turn out and work a little;some
are too lazy to come to work and stay at
home; some do come to work, but it
would be better for the roads if they
didn't come, because they keep others
from working. Now what is done with
those men as do not turn out? The su-
pervisors' duty is to make known to
the Trustees that they failed to work,
but sometimes the supervisor isa moral
coward and is afraid to return them, or
may be they are his friends. The Trus-
tees duty is to collect by law 81. so per
day from those who failed to work; how
often is this done? Not often; either the
Trustees are as big towards to do their
duty as some Supervisors, or it will hap
pen that they are afraid those men will
vote against them the next time they
run for Office. One thing is certain,
there is hardly ever anything collected
from those who fail to work. The
Supervisors as well as the Trustees have
to swear to do their duty; consequently
there is considerable hard swearing
done. Would itnot be better to arrange
this some other way; in some States
every voter has to show his road receipt
to the judges of election on election day
before he can deposit his vote. l hold
this to be very good law, because if a
man is too lazy to do the work, which
the State laws demand from him, he
should not have the privilege to vote,
and this would bring out many one,
who would not come otherwise. An
other drawback is sometimes the un-
willingness of the Board of Trustees to
pay for extra labor of the Supervisor
cannot make the road passable with the
labor at command; such is entirely
wrong, as the law does oblige the
Supervisor to make the road passable,
and any reasonable bill for labor by
him ought to be allowed.
