This objection seems to have originated from
the belief hy some that the apportionmrnt could

next Legislature according to on enumeration
after the manner of the Constitution This is
the Sirangcst objection Of all. Whether it arose
from the desire to take from Charleston or to

| reads. as We have seen. that the representation
shall he made in certain proportion by act of
the General Assembly, at the session immedi.
ateIy succ cctins every enumeration.
According to this it could only be 10y an extra
session that an arportionment could be made.
so that each county would have a correct rep
rcscniation at the next regular meeting Of the
Legislature. This. however, could be done with
the United States census the basis of appor-

A CINCINNATI BOOM.
HER EXPOSITION AND HER NEW
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Procession Six Miles Long-The Ex-
position Now in Progress the Most
Varied and Extensive Yet Held in Gin
cinnati-New Chamber OF Commerce.
The thirteenth annual Cincinnati exposition
IS now in progress, and will continue till
October. The opening is claimed to have been
the finest show ever witnessed i'm the Queen
City. From the noise the usually quiet Gin
cinnatians made that day, it seemed as if for
the time "Solid Cincinnati" )" had been changed
into Chicago.
They had reason to tickle themselves and
be happy. The procession inaugurating the
exhibition was six miles long. They say it
was looked at by 25O, 600 people, though per-
haps it may be necessary to fall a person or
two in accepting this statement of reporter
in his enthusiasm. The greatest of Ohio's
statesmen were present and made speeches,
among them Senator Sherman, Governor
Foraker and Congressman Butterworth. In
the course of his happy, though brief, re-
marks, Mr.. Butterworth made this striking
observation: "The inventive genius of man is
the divinity within him, and it never worked
to the detriment of mankind"

EARTHQUAKES.

A good number of jokes are being poked at
the earthquake, but the Charleston papers
are not copying any of them.-Dctroit Free
Press.
When the earthquake came the other night
more than &c, 900 women in Georgia were con-
WINGED that they had discovered man under
the bed--AIaeon Telegraph.
The jury in the Gilbert Davis case were in
their room at the court house unable to agree,
and, it is said, there was no probability Of
their arriving at verdict After the earth
quake was over, however, they agreed in
about three minutes.-Eastman Gal Times
The idea of naming a little girl baby
Earthquakeana just because she was born in
Charleston two or three hours before the
shaking up is simply horrible The poor in
nocent little thing may have cried, but she
didn't cause the earthquake, and there is no
sense in tying it to her, and making her drag
it through hfe.-Cleveland Leader

EXPOSITION BUILDING.

The beautiful Cincinnati exposition is ont
that artists never tire of copying. Many fine
views of it have been taken from different
points. Its architecture is unique and unsur
passed.
So was the procession that inaugurated this
great display of the victories of peace. The
line of carriages was led by one containing
Senator John Sherman and Governor For
aker. In some features the procession was a
sort of carnival show, initiating the grotesque
and the comic with solid business advertising.
A group of byciclists formed part of it, riding
slowly and solemnly upon their shining
wheels. Among them was trycicle con-
tanning lady and gentleman.
The Geological garden i'm Cincinnati had
been levied on for contribution gathered
from many lands. A great elephant, with a
load of merry children in cage upon his
back, paced along snuffing the ground with
his trunk, and wondering what it was all for.
A troop of living little Shetland ponies,
ridden by gayly dressed, pretty children, fol-
lowed the elephant. But the part of the
Geological contribution which attracted most
attention was an immense leopard 1t lay in
the bottom of n light cage at the feet of its
keeper, sometimes raising its paw toward
him, playfully, SO it was said. But what an
awful row he might have raised, a consterna-
tion and a panic, with one little stroke of that
paw aU MIN WIN great
interest, and were relieved when he had
passed. He was like ghost story, intensely
fascinating just because he was little
scary.
The floral show this year, it is believed, will
be surpassing. 1t must be remembered that
Cincinnati set the fashion of industrial ex-
positions in America. Her first one was held
in 1870, in unpainted, barnlike, wooden
structure. The shed was temporary, and was
soon pulled down. Unplaned board walls
We're the background for the high art display
which the spectators looked ut that year
These unpainted barns were thought good
enough for expositions In those days all over
the country. We have changed our ideas
since then.
Special attractions for various days of the
great show is the programme for expositions
in recent years. Interest had quite died out
in viewing, year after year, the same indus
trial products, arranged in the same order
However excellent, they got very tame at
last The modern exposition is more like an
entertainment than fair. Cincinnati has a
very full list of the special attractions for
different days
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-10-08

Cincinnati seems to be having a boom in a
general way this year. A new bridge and
elevated railway across the Ohio is in CON
temptation, to cost $40, 100000, making the
fourth bridge over the river here. The new
structure viii have an elevated railway along
with its foot and passenger roads.
The chamber of commerce building now
being rapidly completed, is seen in the illus.
tration. 1t will cost 100000 Money is
plenty for public uses in Cincinnati. That is
more than can be said of most cities The
chamber of commerce building will be a
handsome and imposing structure. 1t is at
the corner of Fourth and Race streets, upon
the site of the old postoffice. 1t is hoped and
believed that it will be genuinely fireproof
and no mistake.
One of the chief beauties about the new
edifice in the eyes Of Cincinnatians is that it
will be paid for spot cash. when done, with
the exception of a comparatively small sum-
There viii be Offices and rooms to rent in il
from which an income of $4,000 year will
be had. Times have been supposed to be
hard since 1872, yet since then the trade in
certain lines has increased in Cincinnati some
200 per cent
