passed by the lawmakers Mt Columbus
empowering the issue of bonds to the
amount of 500 900 for the purpose of
erecting an armory to be used in common
by both arms of tho service.
The Governor appointed three trustees
to look after and supertntend its con-
struction. These were William d. Smith,
Esq, f. Cort. Williams, Esq, and Mr..
Sol. p. Kineon.
The board set to work at once, and
their labors of the past year have been
arduous in the extreme. In order to
have money sufficient to furnish the
nrmory (the appropriation was barely
sufficient to complete it) one OF the COM
missioners volunteered to do the work OF
secretary, thus saving the salary OF
that official and devoting IL to the COM
pletion of the work.
The First Regiment consists of eight
companies, all but one Of which are To-
Gated in the city, the other being at Hamil-
ton. The Battery is the finest in the
State service and the only one armed
with gattling guns.
Both organizations performed good
service at the Berner riot In 1884, and by
their soldierly qualities have gained the
confidence and respect of the better class

No city ia the world Of its size needs
a building for city Offices worse thas
Cincinnati. The present edifice used br
the officials is totally unfit for the pur~
pose The city has out-grown it. BY
recent act OF the Legislature the authort-
ties were authorized to Issue bonds 10 the
amount OF S100 900 for the purpose Of
erecting building adapted To the needs
Of the municipal government. Plans
were adopted and the work began.
The cut above shows the front eleya-
ton as approved by the trustees Since
its adoption, however, a movement has
been started looking to the condemna-
ton Of property near the original site
that would give more room for the build
ing This would cost $500, 600 more.
As the increased outlay met with some
opposition from the press and people, a
bill was passed few days ago by the
general assembly referring the matter di-
rectly TO the people, 20 be voted on at the
next election. This election occurred re-
Gently and resulted in favor of the con-
-demnation, TINS giving space for the
building commensurate with the eity's
needs ana greatness This will afford
room for police station 40 Wen as all
other offices required, and will be

The home of this feature of the Expo
sition will be in the roomy and pictur-
esque tower of the main exhibition hall

will be the work done in the different

material for kindergarten work in differ

appliances for this sort of educational
work. The main point Of attraction will
be the school in working order--about

to six years under the supervision Of n

lessons and performing tasks based on
their knowledge of forms and colors,

the visitors who will be attracted to this
novel display. 1t is safe TO say that 10

WAGES AND THE COST OFLIvlNG.
HOW MUCH wORKINGMEN MAKE IN THIS
COUNTRY AND EUROPE.

HOW MUCH wORKINGMEN MAKE IN THIS
COUNTRY AND EUROPE.
New York Mail and Express
The free traders tell the wOrkingmen
that while they are better paid in this
country than their fellows are in Europe,
their wages do not go so far, because the
necessaries of life are dearer here than
they are abroad. We will examine this
statement with the fairness which we
have tried to observe in looking at every
phase of this question. In 1884, brick
layers were paid IS so week in Leg
horn and S24 in Chicago, difference of
1SS per cent. in favor of the American
workingman. English carpenters were
paid 50 IS and carpenters in Chicago
SIG so, difference of more than 67 per
cent. Blacksmiths received SO so and
SIS respectively, difference of 43 per
cent. in favor of the American. English
laborers were paid 81 and American Ia
borers so so, difference of so per cent.
The American wages are very much
higher than those paid in England,a "a good
deal higher than free traders are willing
to admit. How is it with the expenses of
living? In the first place, food is cheap
er in this country than it is in England.
Beef costs S3 per cent. more in Liver
pool than in Chicago. Veal costs 35I
per cent. more. Bread costs little less,
p per cent, and butter a little more.
Clothes have been supposed to cost less
in Europe than here, but since Mr.. Nc
Kinley's exposition of the fact that all
wool clothes can be sold in this country
for SO a suit, that suppOSition has re-
ceived very damaging blow. Rents
are somewhat higher than there, but 25
per cent. would cover the difference, and
the American workingman lives in
decent house, while the Englishman
lives in squalor and in the midst of pov-
erty and degration.
The workingman in this country gets
from 40 to 1S8 per cent. more wages |
than his English competitor, gets cheap
er food, of better quality and larger va
riety; wears as cheap clothes, and lives
in house that costs him a little more
rent He can afford that in view of his |
other advantages. He can pay the ad-
ditional rent and lay by almost as much
money as the Englishman can earn in a
quarter And protection has done all
this, for the difference between the two
countries is in their tax laws

In darkness hides it, Silyery ray,
And midnight shadows tiiickiy lie,
Like sable curtains on tile wly,
One light remains 10 pierce the gloom,
One TTiy-it is the light oi home.
That light where e'cr undimmed il shines,
Unnumberrd blessings sheds around;
Where fall its soft and tender lines
There truest hlppincSS is found.
There is 10 light beneath the dome
So precious rs The light of home.
Within its sacred circle blend
The pucest virtues, true and strong:
Here friend deserves the name of friend,
And love resides, nor fears wrong;
And when the heart meets pain and i'll
That friendly beacon cheers it still.
For one a.ar its Tadience streams
The proof of joy and hope and cheer,
And draws him with lis welcome beams
To all he holds most pri,ed and dear.
His heart is glad, his eye grows blight
As he behOlds It's faithful light.
And thus as We, with weary feet,
Life S dark and tangled mazeS tread,
Let us take heart, Tor, pure and sweet,
There is light that shines ahead,
That leads us onward, wni'e We roam,
To find in heaven the light of home.

A dispatch from South Carolina AYERS
that the attention of the Department of
Justice has been called to the scandal
Gus state of affairs in Edgefeld county.
1t appears that the United States Com
missioners and Deputy Marshals have
perfected an organized scheme OF FOB
berry, which they are carrying out with a
high hand. Cases are trumped up on
all sorts of flimsy pretexts, for the pur-
pose of making fees and expenses" for
the marshals, and the negroes of the
county are Systematically terrorized.-
There is nothing at all astonishing in
such story. 1t is just what might have
been expected under Democratic ad-
ministration and under the patronage of
Senator Butler, the alder and abettOr of
the Hamburg massacre, and the benfici-
ary of some of the blackest crimes ever
perpetrated in this or any other country
Indeed, it is wonderful if Edgefield is
the only county where such proceedings
are going on in South Carolina. AS for
applying to stop these things and in
campaign time, too-that, of course, is
perfectly ridiculous. These are some of
the methods by which South Carolina is
kept "solid," and the criminals are trust
ed Democratic leaders. What We're the
offices given to them for, except to make
out of them what they could, and to
keep the negroes in proper subsection?

THE Chicago Times Oem.) is honest
enough to squarely admit that Dakota
is kept out of the Union by the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives because
"the new State business cost the Demo-
cratic party dearly in 1876, and they
don't propose to get themselves into a
similar snap in 1885,"
All this in the face of the fact that
Dakota has population fairly emitting
her to three Representatives in Con-
gress.

ton. DR.. Hunt, an old line Democrat,
was in the Union army, and carries hon
Orable scars. "When Grover" said he,
"issued the order to return the rebel
flags thought it was time that eve
ry right-thinking Democratic soldier
should sever his relations with the Dem
Ocratic party and try to get every one
that was loyal to America to vote the
