The result of Republican mismanage-
ment in Ohio is shown by the fact that the
State authorities are compelled to borrow
$740,0 600 to pay current expenses OF the
Commonwealth fof the year. No man or
set of men have ever deliberately chosen
modern RepublicaniSln as their substitute
for Statecraft and failed to pay for it,
Richmond State.
This is cool, coming from public jour
nal presumed to be informed as to cur
rent history. 1t is known that the Demo
Gratis had held the State government of
Ohio for two years previous to the LIST Of
January last. They had the Governor and
the Legislature. and it was under Demo-
cratic administration that the revenues
fell short by the reckless appropriations
and Legislation made by Democratic
Legislature, and deficit of nearly a mil
zion dollars was brought about. Consider
the condition of Virginia as the result of
Democratic administration asiwell as that
of Ohio, and the application of the clos
ing sentence of the.abeve paragraph can
be better appreciated. 1t fits the Demo
cratic party, and no other, not only in
State, but in National affairs, for it left
the national treasury bankrupt in 1861,
when it was kicked out of power,

Col. Brady's Bill.

Hon. j. D. Brady, member Of Congress
from the Petersburg district, introduced,
on Monday last, bill "to authorize the
President of the United States to appoint
board of commissioners to investigate
to what extent the United States may be
legally and equitably liable for the debt
due by the State of Virginia; the extent
of the liability of the United States to
the bondholders of other States, and to
foreign bondholders on account of the acts
of the State government of Virginia in
multiplying the decisions Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, and for other
purposes.
After referring to the several decisions
of the United States Supreme Court de-
claring the coupons issued under the
funding act of 1871 were the essence of a
contract, and the recent proclamation of
Gov. Lee, calling upon the people to as
semble in mass meeting to boycott the
coupons the bill stipulates that the three

week 3 garden party for its benefit was given
at Calumet Place, the residence Of Senator and
Mrs. Logan. Although the weather was rainy,
aud in every way most unpropitious, the affair
was great success. Nearly 1000 people at
tended. There is no politics in such enter
prises- Democratic and Republican Senators,
Congressman and officials, and their wives
mingled with the utmost cordiality. The net
profits Of the fete were nearly 81 800.

The complimentary hop given by the Union
Veteran Corps, Old Guard, at National Rifles
ArmOry in Washington last week was in every
respect complete success. Notwithstanding

THE PRESIDENT BUYS A HOME.
The President has made an investment in
real estate near Washington. He has bought
part Of what is known as the Green estate,
about two miles from the White House, on the
TenallytOwn road. It is near Secretary Whit
neys Summer residence, and during the warm
weather he will have the head OF the Navy
Department for near neighbor. Mr.. Cleve-
land is not much inclined to go iunketing
about the country. For many years the pretty
stone cottage at the soldiers Home has been
the Presidential resting place during the dog
days. Mr.. Cleveland does not like that place
very well, and proposes TO have one Of his own.
AN ADVERSE DECISION
The Secretary Of the Interior last week rem
dered decision in a case appealed TO him from
the Commissioner of Pensions, in which claim
was made for bounty due the widow Of a sol
dier killed in battle, under the provisions Of
section 1856 Of the Revised Statutes passed
March l9, 1896 The Secretary sustains the
Commissioner and decides that the half pay
for five years provided for under this section
was not a bounty, but pension, and that the
law has been rendered wholly imperative by
subsequent enactments The effect of this de-
eision, it is thought, viii be the abandonment
of this class Of claims.
FLORISTS CONVENTION.
The 11th annual meeting of the American
Association of Nurserymen, Florists and Seed
men will open in Washington at the Depart

Agriculture, is President Of the organization,
and will preside during the convention. All
matters of interest to horticulturists seeds

les during the meeting Of the association,
