something else from a farmer, and
count the money out by turning over
the ends of the bills right before his

out he finds five or ten dollar bill

CLEVELAND, June 29th, 1885.
1nere seems to be sort of insane
rage in the cities and towns for high
buildings, as though the earth were
not broad enough for wingless man to
live upon, without climbing into the
air by the tedious stairs, or by the
shockingly dangerous elevator. Stairs
are always an unhealthy nuisance,
ana elevators are always a menacing
danger, in which the slightest casualty
may lead to tragedy. The latter fact
has been emphasized by accidents here
and elsewhere. Yet the fashion for
high buildings is unabated, and so the
carnage will have to go on.
The old Cleveland County Court
House has been hoisted into the skies
to the extent of making a five story
building of it, supplied with those
modern man traps called elevators.
Hereafter the life of litigant will be
short, and that of a lawyer shorter.
The parties had better make peace and
settle their causes, as there is little
choice between trusting to the risks of
a Courthouse elevator and climbing
the golden stair. I predict that the
supreme folly of this Court House i'm
Improvement" will ere long result
in the building being turned over for
other uses, and the erection of another
Court House nearer to this world, and
farther from the skies.

The new Stillman Hotel, on Euclid
Avenue, about one hundred feet high
(recently injured by fire in the upper
stories) is shining example of that
yearning for higher life" possessed
by our modern architects but who
will ever sleep in the upper stories
without wishing it was not so high i?
The winds of the heavens are q con-
stant rebuke to the projectors Of high
buildings. We have also abundance
of oil and gases in the bowels of the
earth, and whenever the earthquake
crop becomes a fair average hereabouts
(as it is liable to at any time) these
high buildings will all be for sale at a
discount. Let US be content to grovel
nearer the earth's crust. 1t is the
safest way.

The terms of one Commissioner and

Tho nev Orleans Exposition.

The continuation OF the New Orleans
Exposition OF last year as an exposition
of the trade OF North and South Amer
lea is a matter OF cor organization. This
exposition was opened on the 10Th OF
the present IN onth, and the rooms are
said to be- IN better order now than
at the opening Of the prior exhibition.
New Orleans is the nearest large port
of entry to Central and South America,
and its natural advantages and pro-
gressive spirit are giving 1t promi-
hence as q competing commercial port.
The Government now sends the Central
American mails by way OF New Orleans

Tha Aand Lot.

An end Is put to the sand lot dis
cussion by Mr. Elliott Withdrawing
his proposal to take four thousand dol
lars for the lot. In conseq uence Of this
withdrawal Council had nothing else
70 do than to order the purchases OF the
Robinson and BARE lots. Mr.. EN0tts
offer to take four thousand dollars
was upon Condition that his offer WAS
to be Immediately accepted. This was
not done, bu. ac....jn upon 1t was peat

purchase the Robinson and Barr lots
first at full price and let Mr.. Elliott
take a reduction OF two hundred dol

not encouraging to Mr.. Elliott, and
rather than be trifed with he withdrew

J.ignting the city.

AS lighting The city is one OF the
most expensive items in its governm ent
1t is proper that the CITY Council should
move slowly and &C. with care In ask
ing for propos ais Tor lighting tn lily,
and hence the action last night to ask
Tor proposals for High Ing the oity for
alther one or three years was right and
proper. II has been bat a few years
since there were but two agents for
lighting . city, yss aad OIL But now
electricity has by the progress OF Bel
ence been made 80 subject to human
control that 1t COMES in as formlda-
BILE competitor with .ss and oil. Bat
. few years ago all the ingenuity OF IN
was exercised TO ward on electricity
from our buildings ash dangerous ele-
meut; now 1t Is used to invite 1t into
our dwellings, our Offices and to light
MP our streets. Side by side with the
advancement of electrical sclenc CO comes
the great improvement In gas and oil.
At the late novelties exhibition in Phil
adelphia, gas competed successfully
With electricity, and within twelve
miles Of our city, oil is brought In pipes
= distance of three hundred miles
When these great revolutions In the
science Of light is going on it is no time
30 give any company . monopoly Of
three years for lighting Wilmington
Aside from all this is the fact that II
Philadelphia there is q syndicate no y
being organized which expects to man
ufacture water gas, which will cost no
more than one-third the price OF Goa
gas, possibly not more than one sixth
Let Wilmington have the advantage o
the revolution.

Singular Conduct

The course pursued by President
contrasts very singuiariy
with the professions made oy MIN.
While pretending 10 desire the eleva-
ton of the public servios, he Is turning
out Of office the most efficient men and
puttinp In their places politicians who
have no claim whatever except service
rendered their party. Such Hypocrisy
h ,s seldom been witnessed. The desire
20 banefis his party and not the country
Is his paramount object. Every one
can understand this, and he might just
aa we'll be honest about the matter.
The public service will not be benefited
nor the interests of the people promot,
ed, and An appeal to the liberality 81
Republican Senators is An insult te
their intelligence under such circum-
stances. He should put his appoint
ments on true grounds before asking
favor from the opposition-and thu
show himself to be true man AM
not a mere hypocrite or pretender.
