For some time after the closing of the Metro
politan it was disputed question whether
family hotel could be made to pay, but the
growth of the city and hotel trade during
the past year had been such that there was
little or no question as to the success of such
a scheme. In short, the hotel man intimated
that if satisfactory terms could be secured
the hotel would be opened within a short
time. However, other men have had similar
projects, and they have gone to naught. 1t
remains to be seen whether the last named
will ever come to any successful end.

How distinctly the evening comes back

BAIRD'S IRREGULARITIES.

Smithsonian Institution, who likewise
controls the destinies of the national
museum, may be called upon, when
congress %cOnvenes, to stand an investi-
CATION of his Office. Mr.. Cleveland
does not stand any foolishness when
anything looks in the least crooked.
The cOst of maintaining the national
museum is about Sc 900 a month. Prof.
Bard Is the disbursing officer of the
institution, rs we'll as its s~uperintend-
ent. The professor will be asked to
explain why he carries 80 many on his
payroll, who are really incompetent to
perform the duties assigned them.
Among the accounts passing through
the fifth auditors Office, was found the
name of Agnes Nicholson, who appears
upon the roll as a copyist. Accompany
ing the roll vas a voucher authorizing
the payment of her salary of $40 q
month. The voucher had been accept
ed, but instead of signing her name to
it as a copyist would do, her signature
was represented by two crosses. Over
and under the name was written 'ther
mark" A national museum that can
employ copyists unable to write their
names surpasses anything that Barnum
ever placed on exhibition. 1t also pays
the salary of a watchman whose duties
are to watch the building. This func-
tionary has an assistant, the assistant
has an aid, and the aid has q faborer,
while the labOrer- performs the duties
of all. This seems to be peculiar enough
10 require a little investigation, even if
it has passed muster for years under
republican auditors.

PENSION FACTS.
From the St. LOUIS Post Dispatch. |

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
In a recent interview with a Cincin-
natl Enquirer reporter Speaker Carlisle
referred to the fact that we are paying
S76,75O,O00 a year in pensions on ac-
count of one war which lasted but
four years, while all the other civilized
nations on the earth are paying in the
aggregate less than $50 900 900 q year
in soldier and sailor pensions. They
maintain huge rmles that do more
fighting and make more widows, Or
phans and cripples every decade than
our armies have made since the birth
OF the republic, yet we are paying 25
per cent. more war pensions than Rus
STA, Germany, Great Britain and all
b European powers put together.
When asked if he would not add that
our pensions are all paid to One-half of
our country, Mr.. Carlisle said: "No,
| have nothing of that kind TO say.
Democrats and republicans were alike
eager to vote these appropriations"
The ~magnanimity with which the victor
states have treated the vanquished in
our war has been nobly reflected in the
cordial unanimity with which the Grip
pied II unpensioned soldiers of the
south have voted these pensions which
they disclaim any right to share. No
other country has ever exhibited such
a spectacle of ~magnanimous reconcilia-
ton as both sides have shown in heal
ing the wounds of our internal war
and the facts referred to by Mr.. Car
isle should silence the demagogues
who pretend or intimate that southern
or rebel opposition is preventing a
proper recognition of the just claims
of crippled Union soldiers.

THE IMPORTATION OF PAUPER
LABOR.

From the Post Dispatch.I
From a source not unfriendly to Mr..
Blaine M a reminder OF the fact
that Senator John Sherman, who is
such a loud shOuter for monopoly
tariffs, was M of the mel who com
United the Republican party to the
policy of encouraging the importation
of foreign pauper labor, or contract
labor, to enable the protected mono
pOlists to reduce the wages of the
American laborers who are taxed on
all they use and wear for the benefit of
the protected m~onopolists. IAN act
to encourage Immigration" passed
when both Houses were republican in
1864, was nothing more nor less than
an act to facilitate and encourage the
importation Of contract labor. 1t pro-
vided for a salaried Commissioner with
a corps of salaried clerks to look after
the transportation of the imported
lsborers; exempted the latter from
military service, and provided for the
enforcement by the United States
Courts OF any contract pledging the
labOrer's wages for a year in payment
of any money advanced to him by the
labor importer, and even made snci
advance a valid lien upon any land the
laborer might acquire in this countr,
under the homestead act, or upon any
other property he might otherwise ac-
quire. Under this law swarIns o
labOrers have been imported to reduce
wages n then return to their foreign
homes. Yet John Sherman, who now
opposes tariff revision as Il menace {,
the wages of labor, was not only activ,
in urging the passage of this law, Blu
in one of his speeches for it declared
that wages were very high" an(
that the country needed importation t.
reduce them.

STATISTICAL INTEGRITY.
Est. LOUIS Republican,.

lSt. Louis Republican,
The Republican press is attempting
to break the force of tho admirable
showing of results of seventeen months
of the Cleveland administration by dig
ging out of the rubbish of the last presi-
dental campaigns the ridiculous thread
bare statement showing how little they
stole while the government was i'll their
hands. This laughable exhibit pretends
to indicate " the percentage of losses
per 81, 900 of the amount collected by
the federal government from the adj
ministration of Washington to that of
Garfield" There are some things in it
that will surprise the American people
for it shows OF pretends to show
that the administrations Of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
jackson and Van Buren, were very
prOfiigate and corrupt compared with
those OF Lincoln, johnson, Grant and
Hayes. The percentage of losses under
Washington was four times as great as
under Grant it was so per cent. more
under Lincoln than under johnson,
and it was tWenty-fOur times as great
under Grant as under Hayes. 1t makes
the Hayes administration the model

standing the little respect which the
Republican party is in the habit of
showing for it and him in these latter
days.
The trick in this laughable exhibit of
Republican integrity was clearly ex-
posed III the last campaign, and j. is
only a proof of the amazing effrontery
OF the Republican press that the worth
less old thing is reproduced at this
time. 1t was adroitly prepared by the
congressional committee so
as not to include the ~stealings of the
whisky ring, the custom house ring,
the Indian ring. the post-traders' ring,
the navy ring, the star route ring, the
Credit MobiIier and the other huge
conspiracies and combinations that

and it is at this point the trick cOmes
in, for the Republican rings stole mil.
ions of money before it was collected,
not from the treasury, but before it got
20 the treasury. 1t does not take into
The account the 81 ,O00, 900 stolen by the
ring, nor the $4,000 900 stolen
by the star-route gang, nor the 49,

THE WEST REPUDIATES BLAINE'S
ATTACK ON THE SOUTH.
From the Omaha (Neb.) Herald.l

From tEc omana iNeD.j Leiaiu'l
The colored voters of the South,
guided by the logic of events, have
been and are gradually gravitating to
democracy. Their own Intelligent self
interest has guided thousands of colored
voters into the ranks of democracy and
impelled thousands of others to abstain
from exercising their right OF suffrage
The colored man has begun to recognize
that his status and environments are
improved when he associates himself
politically with his white neighbors OF
employers. 1t is o late for Mr.. Blaine,
or any of his brand of statesmen, to re-
verse this conclusion of the color
ed man, and, it Is a very poor com
pliment TO his sagacity that the Maine
man has undertaken the task of making
the intelligent voters of the north
believe that the southern question ls

The democracy, while organizing,
should not forget that there are three
tickets in the field, state, congressional
and county. There will be no difficulty
in carrying the state ticket, and bu,
little nor in carrying the county ticket
through to success. 1t Is against the
congressional candidate, Col. Philips,
the republicans are TO make their
strongest fight. Against him will all the
wiles, tricks and ISLANDERS of the cam
paign be used. Knowing that there il
no purer or better mai in h state

assail him with the II of Apache
Indians. But let the democratic masses
stand firm. Let the column move for

The republicans have a good man,
many of them, but none better or more
fit than Mr.. Philips. There is no good
reason why any democrat should de-
serl his colors, for in this district they
are carried by able hands.

elements. The solid facts remain patent
that the state is getting out of debt, is
prospecting in all material interests, i,
continually reducing the la levy, and
is rapidly increasing in population and
taxable wealth. And all this, too, un-

The membership of the league is not large, but its backing is very gen. eral An efficient measure already passed is the raising of a guarantee fund to be held in readiness for prose- cution, if needed. This sum now stands at about nine hundred dollars, and has been contributed by men of all political beliefs.
