Life From the Front Platform

TO reporter who was smoking his 50-cent
cigar ON the front platform. "She's agoin' to

they epraug forward. The "pretty GAP in

and fed through the door with a smiling
apology.

A Platform of Misrepresentation.

IN Il
Gov. Hoadly. of Ohio, will not be can
didate for reelection. He is not rich
man, and he thinks that he must devote
as much of his time as possible to his pro-
fession. He does not think there is any
reason, however, to doubt that Demo-
crat will be elected.
He feels satisfied that the platform
which the Republicans adopted at their
State convention few days ago ought to
help to defeat them. In an interview on
Monday he said: ''The platform adopted
is platform Of aspersions, from begin
ming to end, and so transparently so that
am sure the people Of Ohio will not toll
crate its false appeals. Take the first
issue offered. 1t is a misrepresentation
of facts that the people will not be slow
to resent. A campaign on the bloody
shirt idea at this late day, when the peace
full transfer Of the government into Demo
cratic hands, and lis conservative and
non-sectional conduct by Democrats il
| living refutation OF this ridiculous cry, is
certainly foredOOmed TO failure, If any
thing political can be. The platform is
| simply bitter, narrow, vulgar aspersiOn
of the Democratic party, national and
/ State"
The Republicans are forced TO make
their campaign on the bloody shirt idea
because they have nothing else on which
to make it. They hope, perhaps, to be
able to deceive the people sufficiently to
secure a victory. In this hope doubtless
! they will he mistaken.
The way in which the government has
been conducted since Mr.. Cleveland has
been President leaves no room for bloody
shirt politics.
The people OF Ohio will demand some
thing more than mere words. The Re-
publicans in their platform have attacked,
in bitter partisan spirit, the Demo-
cratic administration Of national affairs.
Before they will get any benefit from at
tacks Of this kind they VIII be required
10 prove their assertions. II they fail,
and fan they will, they will have damaged
themselves more than their opponents by
their charges.

Getting Ready for the Reopening.

Getting Ready for the Reopening.
The committee to arrange for reopeuing
the New Orleans Exposition has not yet
decided upon its course of action. 1t has
got far enough along however, to be able
to announce that there will be board of
management similar to the board that had
charge of the exposition that closed last
month. A charter has been obtained from
Louisiana and the exposition next win
ter, therefore, will be a State, and not a
national, institution.
Mr.. George NJ. Pullman has been chosen
President OF the new board, and there is
some expectation that if the exposition
gets in a tight place for money he will be
more liberal in making advances than
was the millionaire cotton planter, Mr..
Richardson, who was the President of the
old board.
One thing the new board finds it neces-
sary to do at the very beginning of its
administration. It is to purchase the
exposition buildings of the old board. 1t
seems that the old board owes about $780,
900 to Louisiana claimants who want
their money Immediately. The old board,
therefore. offers the buildings, which cost
about 81, 100000, TO the new board at
sum that will just about enable it to pay
its debts.
1t is probable that the exposition next
winter will be quite a creditable affair.
Each State will be allowed, from the fund
that has been raised for exposition pur-
poses, $4,000. This is not a very large
sum, it is true, but it is enough probably
to enable the States, with the help they
will get from their respective Legisla-
lures, to make a very creditable display.
The number of visitors last season to
the exposition, which has just been made
public, shows that the expectations OF the
Director General and the board of mana
gers were far from being realized.
1t seems that there were /, 185, 025 visit
Ors in all. OF this number %, 1856 had
passes. Those who paid, therefore, num-
bered 1,15S,S4O. All of these, however,
did not pay 30 cents each. Among them
were 90,992 children who paid only %
cents each, and 1888 school Children who
paid 10 cents each. The whole amount
received at the gates was 1888, 1861 "A.
The work which the new board has to
do is to fill the buildings with exhibits.
1t is hardly probable that the exposition
next winter will be as fine as the one that
closed in May.

The Great Want of washington.


1t is said that there is a prospect that
frst-class hotel will soon be built IN Wash
ington. There Is quite a number of hotels
now in that city which charge frst-class
prices for second-class accommodations.
The capital of the nation, however,
which has a permanent population of
100000. and a floating population, when
Congress is in session, of $4,000, ought to
have at least one frst-class hotel.
A couple of years ago it was said that
the millionaire Corcoran intended to
enlarge the Arlington and make it the
finest hotel in the country. He has never,
however, taken any steps toward carry
ing out this intention, if he ever enter
tanned it, and the Arlington remains,
what it has always been, a second-class
house as compared with the great hotels
of the country.
There was story that Mr.. COrcoran
was prevented from carrying out his pur-
pose because he was unable to get the
property adjoining the Arlington. The
property is owned by Mrs. Freeman, a
lady whose wealth is even greater than
Mr.. Corcoran's. According to the story,
Mr.. COrcOran addressed a note to Mrs.
Freeman saying that he wanted to enlarge
his hotel, and asking her to put price on
her property. Mrs. Freeman replied by
saying that she had been thinking about
charging her flower garden and request
ing him to put price on his hotel. Ne
gotiations proceeded no farther.
There are plenty of fine sites for hotel
in Washington, however, which can be
had doubtless at very reasonable prices.
/ Wizards, which IS the most popular
hotel for the politicians in the city, is an
4 old wooden structure that ought to be
torn down. Should it catch fire it would
burn 50 rapidly that escape from it at
night would be difficult. Washington
now has good theatre and will soon have
another. The time has come when it
ought to have first-class hotel.

Nuptial Poetry in Georgia.

From The Kansas CitV Times.
In Georgia nuptial rather than obituary
poetry is the popular thing. Following a mar
riage notice in one Georgia newspaper is the
following:
Miss Virgie L. Weeks, all dashing, bright and
gay.
Was led to the altar on a sunny fourth of May;
She sought not for h0nors, nor cared for tie
cash,
But the noble young specimen OF man, Mr..
Nash.
The same newspaper also contains good
wishes and advice for the happy pair:
May your lives together be long and bright,
seek not to borrow troubles, left or right;
Study each others disposition with mien di-
vine,
And the lining of the dark cloud will always
shine.
Any well-regulated newspaper can furnish
good article of poetry similar to the above
at reasonable rates.

her pocket handkerchief when she wishes to
fix anything IN her mind which must be at

Irritation on certain occasion, and in her
abstraction dropped the handkerchief on the

endeavored to break up the Irritation by invit-

AS the latter rose from the chair she stopped

There was enough in the Republican plat
form IN Ohio besides this worn out sectional
issue to repay attention. The organs would
do well to drop this aud to study carefully
what the Ohio platform has to say about the
principle of civil service reform. Let them
explain and enforce the sound and high posi-
ton taken on that subject-the extension of
the reform and the application of the law in
letter and spirit. Here is something solid,
practical and pertinent. 1t may require a
little hard study for the organs TO get up to-
the subject, but it will pay, and they will
have the unaccustOmed satisfaction of know
ing that they are serving not only the party,
but the country.

times faster than population. While Great
Britain has got three times the wealth of fifty
years ago, the United States has six fold that
periods wealth. Europe and America in

now has $4,000, 00l more property than

He Did Not Hunt for the WrOnged Boy.
From the Detroit Post

The New York papers, in giving the history
of the defalcation of paying teller Scott, tell
pathetic story of little boy employed by a
merchant. The merchant sent him to the
Manhattan Bank with a check for 81 600
With the package in his pocket and his hand
on it the boy ran back. The merchant found
only $3.50 in the package. Scott said that he
had given the boy $1,000. His word was
enough. The merchant dismissed the boy as
a thief When ScOtt's dishonesty came out
this merchant bethought him of his loss and
was convinced that Scott had stolen the
money, giving the boy $3.50 short, seeing that
he was little fellow who did not understand
business, and had afterward branded the lad
as a thief to save himself. And what dId this
merchant do? Did he waste time in hunting
up the wrOnged boy and restore him to his
on his hat, ran to his lawyer and instructed
that gentleman to sue the bank and recover
that $3.50
