THE president has began to put his ter rible veto upon the bills making appropri- ations for the erection of public buildings. Yesterday he vetoed the bill appropriating $100,G00 for the erection of public build ing in Allentown, Pa., on the ground that there is no present necessity for the expen- diture of $10O,000 for any purpose con- nected with the public business at that place. It is hardly probable that he will interfere with the appropriation asked for this city, as the need of such building in Waterbury is great

A Sad Outlook for Republicans.

It is sad outlook for the Republicans, but the country still obstinately refuses to go to rack and ruin under Democratic rule. Each year of President Cleveland's s administration the number of business failures has diminished from the previous year by nearly 2,00O, and now the three months of the year In which everything was to collapse. because of the awful tariff reform, shows the same decrease as the three months commencing each previous year.-Watertown (N.

CHICAGO tries to be original in all things, even as respects it's burglars. Richard Conway, aged eight, of that city, stole out of his cradle the other night long enough to break into the house of a policeman. A press dispatch says: "He was caught in the kitchen with his arms full of plumber" Instead of being spanked and taken home to his mother, he was arrested and bound over to the criminal court in $500 for burglary. And this is the nineteenth century

OUR dearly beloved kindergarten con- temporary, the Republican, is so enamored of the ''scoops" we have been getting the past week, that it has condescended to print some of the news secondhand. Its way of getting around it though, is certain ly unique, if not graceful. After the state papers have taken the news from the DEM ocRAT, the Republican clips it from an out side exchange and serves it up as fresh news two days after everybody has read it in the DEMOCRAT.

A well known southern newspaper is much impressed with the ugliness of the portrait in the Century of Robert Louis Stevenson. It says: Eff he looks at all like the portrait that Alexander made of him, he will depopulate the state. It is not necessary that a man should be a nightmare in order to be genius. , Whereupon one of it's contemporaries cruelty twits it with the statement that it's own literary editor is not beauty Which reminds us of the story of man who was made so ugly that he was supposed to be unique, and made a VOW Shat, if he ever met a worse looking man than himself, he would kill him on sight.

National Democratic Convention.

The national democratic committee hav- ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June next at noon as the time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo- cratic convention.
 Each state is entitled to a representation therein equal to double the number of it's senators and representatives in the con- gress of the United States. The Demo- crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, economi- cal and constitutional government, are cor dially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention.

Not Surprising,

It IS not specially surprising that the Louisiana colored voters refused to vote for Warmoth- He was the first carpet bag governor of the state; he organized them into secret bands with lavish prom ises of idleness and plenty, and before the rule of the adventurers ended the state was bankrupt and the negroes were starving. The presentation of Warmoth again as a candidate recalled his pro- tested promises to the deluded colored voters, and they had no enthusiasm for a cause that had already been tried and won, with sweetness to the taste but bit terness in the digestion.

An owl, or owls head, with big topaz eyes, is much liked for odd ornaments.
 Surplice and basket folds are almost epi- dennic on the fronts of new spring gowns.
 Pure white hair of the best quality is so rare as to be worth more than it's weight in gold
 To be stylish your stockings must match your gown, or else of the finest and fastest black.
 For the throat or hair come lilac clusters in enamel of the natural colors enriched with diamond dew.
 The newest flower paraso1s are made of deep green grass, with deep border of scar let silken peoples.
 The woman without vest of some sort to her frock is nowadays almost as lonesome as white blackbird.
 As to sleeves high authorities differ, some declaring the plain sleeve passe, and others that 1t is the height of style.
 The looms of Lyons and Spitalhelds are running neck and neck in the production of high art brocades for empire gowns.
 Silked lined black lace polonaises for wea: over gay silks are among the most service able of contemplated summer garments.

 Cairngorms, highly polished and without the suspicion of gold mounting, are favorite pendants to velvet dog collars and neck ribbons.
 Red dresses grow more and more in favor, are seen in all materials, from cloth to crepe, and will be very much the wear for seaside watering places.
 A new handkerchief of the sheerest French cambric, all overrun with rosebuds in out line machine embroidery, is among the sea- soss1s most glittering successes.

THE democratic state conventions thus far held have all endorsed the administra- tion of Grover Cleveland, and there is scarcely any talk of any other candidate for second term. Cleveland overshadows all and will succeed himself as president of the United States. This being the case the necessity of conducting the campaign up on the plan advised by the president in his last annual message is apparent. The party must endorse his policy of reducing the federal revenue by reduction of the import duties. To nominate MT Cleveland and adopt tariff plank essentially differ
 ent from the lines set by himself would be fatal folly. We want to see square fight made on this tariff question. If the demo- crats win--and they will-then the merits of the question will be tested by experience.

How Liberal Maurice Interpreted she
Bsnuneiatien or Deborah.
GFrom Ruskin's Preterita-l
loved Frederick Maurice, as every one
did who came near him; and have no doubt
he did all that was in him to do of good in
his day, Which could by NO means be said
of either Rosetti or Of me; but Maurice was
by nature puzzle-headed, and though in q
clear conscience aud keen affections made
him egotistie, and his Bibe-reading, as inso-
lent a. any infdel of them ell. only went
once to q Bible-lesson of his; and the meet
ing was Significant and conclusive. The SUBJ
jsct of lesson. "Jaelis staying of Sissra.n
Concerning which, Maurice, taking an en-
Hghtened modern view of what was At and
not, discoursed in passionate indignation;
and warned his class, in the most positive
and solemn manner, that such dreadful deeds
could only have been done in cold blood in
the dark Biblical ages; and that no religious
and patriotic English woman ought never to
think of initiating Jael by mailing Rus
slams or Prussian's skull to the ground--es-
pecially after giving him butter in q lordly
dish. At the close of instruction., through
which I sat silent, Iventured to inquire, why
then had Deborah the prophecies declared
that Of Jael, Blessed above women shall the
wife of Heber the Kenite beg On which
Maurice, with startled and flashing eyes,
burst into partly scernful, partly alarmed,
denunoiation of Deborah the prophecies as .
mere baking Amazon; and of her song as a
mersly rhythmic storm Of battIe-rage, no
more to be listened to with edifoation or
faith than the Normanis Sword-song at the
battle of Hastings. Whereupon there remain
ed nothing for me-to whom the Song OF
Deborah was as sacred as the Magni6cat--bnt
total collapse in sorrow and astonishmens;
the eyes of all the class being bent on nae in
amazed rsprobation of my benightsd views
and unchristian sentiments. And got away
how could, and never went back. That
