build Washington residence on the splendid
building site he purchased in the Capital re-
Gently, which he will occupy with his family
during the Washington seas n, every year.
An ill-tempered Springfield man wants 10
to know why the Lasonda street cars on a
muddy day are like the hands of a watch.
His answer is tba, "you know the cars are
running. as you know the watch hands are,
but you can't see either of them move"
II the civil rights bill, passed by the Leeis-
lature last winter, holds water, Mr.. Graham
Deuwell, the colored lawyer may soon be
500 richer, as he has brought suit against the
Arcade restaurant for failing TO sell him a
piece OF pie on account of his color. The
penalty is 500 damages, which goes TO the
injured party. MIR. Deuwell says he asked
for the pie politely and was twice reius by
the attendants, on the ground that their or
ders were to sell nothing to colored people.
The restaurant attendants say they have no
animus in the matter, but have to take that
course to protect their custom. Mr.. Walter
s. Thomas, the eminent Columbus coored
citizen was refused admission to the skating
rink in Columbus recently, and has brought
suit in consequence. Mr.. Aaron, the private
of Adjutart General Flulsy, said
while in the city yesterday, that Gov. Hoad-
ley threatens to take the charter OF the Rink
away in consequence of its action.

race for the Governorship this year The
Columbus correspondent OF the Enquirer hsz-
yards the information that General J. War
rem Keifer will be a candidate for governor.
The Ciucinnati Commercial Gazette is posi-
tive that 'there is candidate for the Gov
ernorship lurking in the high grass surround
ing Springfield, O." The Cleveland Herald
says editorislly:
The outside democratic papers sre endeav-
oring TO work up the belief that General J.
Warren keiter, of Springfield, will be the
next Republican nominee for Governor OF
Ohio. General keiier's nomination in State
Convention Of Ohio is not possible.
The Evening Post, of Cincinnati, inter-
viewed Capt. Bushnell when he was in Gin
cinnsti, recently, and published an account
in which he was spoken of as the next Gov
ernor OF Ohio. So much for the metropol-
itan papers, to say nothing of the provincial
and country papers. The state might as well
understand first as last that Springfield man
