EDITORIAL NOTES.

The New Orleans Times-De-
moerat of Dec. Both, devotes COM
siderable space to Arizona's ex-
hibit at the Exposition, from
which we make the following
extracts.
The collection of mineral speci-
mems is simply wonderful, and
must be seen to be appreciated.
To attempt a description of the
many valuable mines represented
would occupy too much of our
present time and space, although
later, during the continuance of
the Exposition, we shall endeavor
to describe some of the most
noted. In the collection may be
seen very excellent quality of
cotton, some 5000 pounds, from
Salt River Valley, Maricopa
ceEnty, Arizona; also some fine
punches of sugar cane from the
same locality.
One very novel feature of the
exhibit is collection of petrified
or silicified wood from what is
known as the petrifed forest 'of
Apache county, Arizona. There
Is nothing like it IN any of the
exhibits of the Exposition. There
are several tons in the collection,
pieces of trees of different lengths
and diameters. varying from four
inches to four feet in length, and
from three inches to three feet IN
diameter, which from the colors
and appearance must have be.
loDged to different varieties of
trees before transformation. Some
OF the pieces are most beautiful,
being agatized IN every conceiva-
BILE color, set in fantastic shapes,
each different from the other.
Soma of the pieces of what was
once wood are also covered with
beautiful quartz and amethyst
crystals. These agatized pieces
when cut and polished by a lap
idary make the rarest ornaments.
Withal, the Arizona exhibit is
extremely interesting and ms
tructive.

THIS CAPITAL THAT is AND is no BE

The bright, beautiful first day of June
finds Washington resplendent in all the
glory Of the "vast system of comprehen-
sive improvements inaugurated fourteen
years ago by the then much-abuscd Board
Of Public Works.
To-day there is no citizen of the Dis
trict who does not feel proud of being
n resident of our magnificent city, and
every visitor speaks with patriotic emo
tions and pride of the wonderful transfer
nations which have taken place, and of
the truly national grandeur of the Capital.
To-day Washington presents itself as
miniature type of an earthly paradise for
citizen, soiourncr, and visitor.
The Washington of to-day, however,
wonderful as its progress has been since
its change Of Government in 1871, is but in
its boyhood age, and destined to advance
with vigorous strides of improvement
and numberlcss additional attractions to
the fullness of n far more vigorous man
hood, and become, in few years. as re-
markable for its superiority over the
present in all the elements of greatness
as it is now in comparison to the past.
The entire resources of the Republic are
tributary to the advancement of the Capt.
tai. Its forward impetus is accelerated
and its future greatness guaranteed by the
increasing wealth and population of the
whole country. Here are established for
all time the Executive, Congressional and
Judicial Departments of our great Govern
ment, and the Increasing public business
of a rapidly developing country will neces'
sarily demand the enlargement of the
present public buildings and the erection
of many new ones to afford proper facili-
ties for the prompt discharge of accumu-
lating official duties. Washington never
presented better prospects for its further
growth and development than it does to-

peals TO the Democratic managers 10 take
right hold and help the President make
the present administration what it may
be, what the public demands it shall be
and the future will look ont for itself"
That's sound to the core. The D,mo
Gratis are terribly mistaken if they sup
pose the Republican party has given up
the ghost and gone hence. II is still alive
and kicking in very vigorous style, and
unless Mr.. Cleveland's administration
comes fully up to the expectations of the
people as based upon the pledges of him
self sand his platform, they may conclude
that having experienced nothing but dis
appointment by the change, it were better
to 90 back to the old regime, which no,
promising half so much has better KEEP
what it did promise.
The chance for IS depends altogether
upon the wise use that is made of 81.
The President understands this thor
oughly and the sooner Democrats gen
orally come TO understand it, the better
for them.

ACHILLES ONOFRI.

Tile ogres and ogresses that little chill
dren read about in their Books of Fairy
Tales are not altogether imaginary crea
tions. There are far too many of them in
this real, matter-of-fact world of ours,
lurking in the by places, skulking in the
slums, lying in wait for their victims as
many friendless child Of poverty and
misfortune has known to its sorrow. But
there is likely to be one less and that
very soon, should the verdict of Phila-
delphia jury prevail over the craft of the
Philadelphia lawyers.
Achilles Onofri has just been convicted
in that city of the highest oflense known
TO the law in causing the death, by slow
torture as it were, ofa young step-daughter
whom the unlucly fates had intrusted to
his keeping. Onofri was contortionist
by profession. 1t seems that he was con-
tortionist in mind as well as body. His
soul, or what passed for such, was capable
of as many twists ms his body. He will
die in the greatest contortionist act of his
life. His poor child-pupil wouldn't bend
to his liking; therefore he corrected
her, and She sank and withered under his
chastisemcnt like bruised flower.
But the jury did its duty promptly and
wcll, and little children all over the coun-
Try can breathe easier and sleep the
scundor for It. one of the ogres is in the
loashes of the law and The rest of the
ogrcs will possibly take warning by his

: HE wAsHINGroN EXPOSITION.

We are glad to see our esteemed Repub-
lican contemporary so energetically follow
ing up THE CRITICS suggestion in regard
to the establishment of permanent Inter
national Exhibition at Washington. 1t is
cause in which every citizen Of the Ma
tional Capital, high and low, rich and
poor, has an interest and can exert some
influence in making a success.
What is the unanimous opinion of the
eople of the District Of Columbia, and an
opinion so reasonable and just, so well
founded, so practical and 50 practicable in
its suggestions, oughtto have considerable
weight with Congress, especially when
supplemented, as it probably will be be-
fore the year is out by similar expressions
of opinion from all parts of the country.
The Government has already upon the
ground the plant for wonderful and valu.
able exhibition on its own account. Re-en.
forced by the displays Of thirty-eight
States and the Territories, in most Of
which there are already well organized
industrial 'and agricultural cXpostions,
such a spectacle could be presented here
at the Capital as the world has never seen
heiore at n comparatively small expense
and with no possibility Of failure

the Hudson. II has since been taken
down and slowed away in an clubhouse as
rubbish, at the instance of Mrs. Custer
who cherishes too much reverence for the
memory of her husband to want il ruth
lessly doiaced by hammer and chiscl.
The statue was supposed to be rep
resentation of the gallant General, but
Mrs. Custer thought otherwise. In her
opinion there was scarcely room for even
the infcrential supposition that it re-
scinblcd him at all. 1t had rather the
seeming of q reproduced nightmare, as
though the artist had encountered in his
dreams one of the terrible bandits in FRA
Diavolo."
The hero of his last fight was posed in
the attitude of clearinghouse dummy,
wearing long-tailed coat and, as every
body knows, there is nothing artistic
about garment of this description. The
name itself is hopelcssly unGsthetic But
that was not all. The legs of this extraor-
dinary piece of statuary were encased in
big troopers boots, while one ofits hands
bore q cavalry sabre and the other horse
pistol. Nothing is said about bowie.
knife between the teeth, but it might .as
well have been there to add symmetry to
the outfit.
II is barely possible that Mrs. Custer
doesn't know n meritorous work of
sculpture when she sees it, but it is very
certain that there must have been some
thing in this particular statue that was
hideously offensive to her taste, and that
her objections to it were reasonably well
founded or the Secretary of War could
hardly have been induced to treat a seven
thousand dollar work with such severity
of contumely.
