q The following is an editorial taken
from recent issue of the Bloomington, Illi-
nois, Eye, paper with a decided leaning
toward the Republican party. The editor of
the Eye is life-long Republican, but man
who is fearless to express his own convic-
tions. The Eye supported the Republican
county and municipal ticket in the recent
campaigns. The sentiments thus independ-
emily expressed by that paper have all the
grl ater force therefore, and indicate what is
obviously true and inevitable, Judging from
the political outlook at the present time, to
the brightest minds in the Republican party,
viz: That the days of the Republican party
are numbered
"The prospects for Republican national
success this year is anything but promising.
Turn which way you may and the outlook is
gloomy, and thoughtful people are beginning
to enquire: sis not the time for the final
dissolution of the Republican party almost
here?' Never before in the history of the
party was there such lack of enthusiasm in
the face of national campaign as now.
Never was the rank and file 80 Indifferent as
we find it this year. Heretofore violently ag-
gressive, the party is thrown on the defen-
sive. and the defense is very weak. The par
ty seems cropping in the dark, without leaders
or issues, while the shrewdest of the mere
politicians are considering whether it were
not better to join hands with the Democrats.
Everywhere may be seen evidences of a
rapid disintegration of this once great polit-
ical organization. The heroes of the party
the grand men who could rally the masses to
the Republican standard-are dead, dying, or
in retirement. Their places are attempted to
be filed by political pigmies--base place
seekers without intellect, ideas, character
or patriotism. Mediocrity is in advance of
the party everywhere, and thousands who
hitherto have followed the fortunes of the
Republican leaders enthusiastically, if not
blindly, are looking elsewhere for political
alliance. Its ancient enemy, the Democratic
party, is crowding the Republicans in their
very citidels of strength, and tits confidenti-
ally predicted that several former Republi-
can States will this year be wheeled into the
Democratic column. The defeat of the Re-
publican partyin November means political
death beyond resurrection"

cost the sum of SO, 800. The cornerstone
of this Observatory was laid by John
Quincy Adams on November 8, 1843.
In 1872 the encroachment of the city,
by reason of the smoke and SCOT, rem
dered the old site on Mt. Adams unfit for
the purposes of the Observatory. The
Longworth heirs then joined with the
Astronomical Society, and together
decided this property to the city, to be
sold, and the proceeds donated to the
School of Drawing and Design. The city
also agreed to sustain an observatory in
connection with the University of Gin
cinnati. The Passionists' Fathers bought
the buildings and grounds in 1872, and
now use it as monastery.
The Observatory is now situated on
Mt. Lookout, upon four acres of land
given for its use by John Kilgour. The
Astronomical Society afterwards donated
all their instruments and papers and
passed out of existence.

" to city on river; but
economy of time las forced the ebb and
flow of travel through the former to the
virtual disuse Of The latter. It has been
said, however, and with great truth, that
the great trunk lines Of this country fol-
low the courses Of the principal streams,
and it may not be unfair to assume that
in the steady march of improvement the
public landings may once more be
crowded with bustling humanity and the
''impedimenta" Of commerce.
The above illustration is fair view of
the public landing in Cincinnati of
the ante-bellum period. The majestic
bow of many commodious packet is
"thrust agin" the bank. Volumes of
smoke belch forth from aspiring stacks,
and the frequent blows of whistles an
nounce the arrival or departure of
floating palace freighted with passengers
and merchandise.
The banks present a busy scene
Loaded carts and bales of cotton, black
muleteers with cracking whips and stem
torous voices, robust negresses in clean
white aprons and gaudy bandannas, trav-
elers in haste to or from the wharves,
and now and then petite blonde, with
such form, sunny hair and laughing
blue eyes, tripping along, whose
"Feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out
As though they feared the light"
But what change a quarter of CEN
tury has wrought The evidences of o
prosperous commerce gave way to the
stern realities of war The loaded wagons
and bales of cotton were replaced by the
laundering caisson and horrid wars

the measured tread of the Sons of Mars
in the accoutrements of the tented
ground and battle field; the beast of bur-
den to the mettled steed whose nostrils
f, scented the smoke of battle from

The return Of peace has not been fol-
lowed by the resuscitation of the old
river commerce. The continent has been
covered with a net work Of railways, and
as the solitary packet, with its freight re-
duced, slowly ploughs up or down the
river to the dirge-like puffs of it's ex-
haust, and as the iron-horse flies over its
ballasted course, the evangel Of higher
civilization, one can only look back and
sigh at the memory of departed glory.
