The New Orleans Picdyune gives n col
umn of an interview with w. w. Cole,
whose circus and menagerie was closed
out at auction in that city on the first Of
this month. Mr.. Cole started out with
his first show, on small scale, from
Quincy, ILL.,, in 1871, and has not-had a
losing season since. Last year lie pur-
chased an interest in the Barnum show,
one of the conditions being that he was
to own no interest in any other show
than the Barnum after the close of
1886. A. E. Richards, the press agent
for Coles show for several seasons past,
has returned to his home in Fostoria,
where he expects to engage in business.
This would have been rare opportun-
ity to have made additions to our menag-
erie, had we been in possession of Mrs.
Toodles and had had her on the road as
travelling agent in that vicinity. The
average boy will regret to learn that
there is one less circus.

Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor, Republi
Representative in Congress from the l5Il
District Of Ohio, and one OF the best and
most honest thinkers in the State, whose
council has always been good and prac.
tical in war or in peace, and who. IL is
expected will distinguish himself in the
next Congress, was a guest at the ST.
Nicholas, Cincinnati, on the 3d inst,
where he was interviewed on the situa-
tion with the following result:
"Will Congress pass any important
bills this winter y he was asked
IL think not. In my opinion M,rri-
son won't call up his tariff hill Politi.
cal matters are in II chaotic condition
Just now"
Isn't there considerable worry over
the prospective labor movemenUT r
"Thc labor question is growing to inn
mcnsc proportions but when it takes
shape We will know what the other fell
lows are going to do. IL the labor men
unite. the other elements will be found
in n combination against them. Until
they have been completely organized IL
will be impossible to tell the effect on
Itlt country. IL tlt NuIklllHIlltn VIII
resort to the ballot it will be maSniti
cent substitute for strikes and boycotts.
Labor has as much right TO organize ms
capital, and its rights are entitled to
Just consideration.
"What is the present condition OF the
Republican party in OhioT
ave made mistake in redistricting q
the State. We would have had ten
Congressman sure under the old dis.
tricts, and probably more. The profits
of the legislatures action are five addi-
tional congressman but the loss consists
in the disruption of the party in the Sth
district which is in the nature of q dis.
aster. We have lost John Little, whose
defeat has an unpleasant effect on the
outside estimates of Ohio politics. We
have lost Cleveland district which we
ought to have carried. The negative
good result is the qualification of the
ambition of five new men, but the Re
publican party wasn't helped one whit.
We haven't carried the House of Repre-
sentatives, and in my opinion our com.
mittee dion't expect to, and didn't want
to carry it,"
While prominent in politics for many
years, General Grosvenor is not a time
server or stereotype plate to revamp any
or everything that may be adopted
by demngogues for political purposes oil
plunder. He is not afraid to get up in 6
meeting of 5000 Grand Army boys and
t ell them if they nsk for too mucl
or too many things of Congress they are
likely to be defeated in all, as they are
now largely in the minority. And he il
not afraid to stand up and tell the party
to which he belongs, as well as the op.
posing party of their wrongs when com
mitted. In short, lie comes under the
head of Statesmen"

to this country they should be Ameri-

the voting right until they thor
oughly understood American institu-
