half-burncd cigarettes, nodded politely to the
passers-by and stepped carclessly of IA bridge TO
the water two hundred feet below: but on the
other hand they put forward the claim that they
have a good average show strictly moral, and
one that should be particularly entertaining to
persons interested IN past ages The Intelligent
professor who eats fire and the cultivated artist
who swallows the sword and balances the peacock
feather on his nose all right in their way, Mr.
Humans managers say, but they don't elevate
the mind quite so much as docs an inspection Of
the Old Roman.
II was the intention Of the manage at first
10 take the road with a much larger show than
they finally did. Their idea to include the
gentleman whom it is supposed will be connected
with Mr.. Thurman in the campaign, secure ring
artists and mcnagcre, call the combination
Cleveland and Rome after the manner of
Barnum and London and exhibit in the larger
places, billing the cities extensively and feeding
ghoulish press literally with comp-
mcntarics This was abandoned when it
was found that, owing to n severe attack of public
ridicule. Signior Cleveland could no longer perform
his celebrated act with the cycopacdia. The man
ayers are now pleased that this original plan was
frustrated. as by simply taking the Old Roman,
they have done away with all expense for canvas
men, teamsers. ETC.. and strike one-night stands
for the most part. where the chairman Of the local
committee takes them all up to his house to stay
for the night to the utter rout Of hotel bills

heavier than those of 1887. Nearly every de-
partment in the city government secured more
money. A hundred thousand was handed over
to this commission, two hundred to that, until
the tremendous burden of S33,S0O,OOO was
piled upon the shoulders Of the taxpayers. NO
person who understands the system by which
about half dozen persons, wholly without re-
sponsibility and conspicuous chiefly for their
dement's, are enabled to possess the govern
ment of Newly ork, can suppose that this great
fortune is spent with any more regard Tor nom
esty than is necessary TO hoodwink the public.

men. and their very existence, of course Is
eloquent as to what runs up the taX-rate They
are well equipped with that sort of low cum
ming which suflices to conceal their acts OF
thunder and to provide other names for them
than sheer robbery, and they have great
many respectable friends. They have things
arranged, too, so that their overthrow involves
the overthrow of the Democratic party, which
can only be done with the help of Democratic
votes. They calculate, and we are afraid with
too much reason, that there are not enough
honest and courageous Democrats in New
York City to render such efforts successful.
This state of affairs accounts for the taX-ra'e

ETIGORE or TENS.

Mr.. Kilgore. Of Texas. has made sure Of
certain share Of immortality. lie will 60 down
i'm history as the first and so far the only,
member Of Congress to proclaim bitter hos
tility TO The bill to make provision for the
widow and children Of Phil. Sheridan. The
House Pensions Committee has fixed upon the
sum of SO 500 as the pension for Mrs Sheridan.
This is certainly not excessive considering
that Sheridan held the exalted rank Of Cen
eral, and that pensions more than half as large
have been granted to the widows OF soldiers
who at the time Of death had not been in the
service for many years. Mrs. Logan and Mrs.
Blair whose husbands had left the service
many years before, receive 50 GOO each, and
Mrs Hancock, whose husbands rank was two
grades below that Of Sheridan, has an equal
amount An effort was made the other day TO
pass this bill which has no political bearing
whatever, and is favored by the minded
men of both parties in Congress. The inst
objection came from Mr.. Chcadlc, of Indiana
who refused to allow the bill to he considered
out Of its regular order there being no quorum.
His grievance was that the House had refused
to consider the claim presented by him in be-
half Of private soldier and he eloqucntly
denounced any discrimination between men of
the knapsackS and muskets and the Generals.
But Mr.. Cheadle was willing the bill should be
made a special order when there was a quorum.
if he could have a chance to present his views.
Then emerged Kilgorc, Of Texas. with this
truculcnt announcement, "My purpose is to
beat the bill, and there is no misunderstanding
that language" This defeated the attempt to
make it special order.
Who is Kilgore, anyway His autobiography
in the Congressional Directory says that he
served in the Confederate Army as Private,
Orderly Sergeant, First Sergeant, First Lieu
tenant and Captain" and aftcrward as Adju-
tant-General. His public career began with
his election as Justice Of the Pcace-whch, we
nav be sure. Kigorc always spelled with
capital j and a capital P-and showed sim
flarlv glorious progression through the Offices
Of Member Of the Constitutional Convention,
Presidential Elector. State Senator for Two
Terms being during one Term Temporary
President Of that Body. and then being ushered
10 slow music into the Lth Congress- while the
House held its Breath.
We doubt if the Southern Democrats in Con-
gress are proud Of Kigorc's course in this
matter. No hostility has been shown hereto
fore to this bill, and in the brief discussion
referred to. prominent Democrats made it clear
that they had no sympathy with his attitude.
AIr. Cox declared that debate was needless, as
nobody would object TO the bill" We GER
tainly do not believe that Kilgore represents
the ex-Confcderatc soldiers who sit in the
House lie is distinguished, it seems both as
soldier and statesman. In both capacities
he ought to see that this is proper bill to pass.

These are harsh words for Democratic

He has steadily posed before the American poo

He shrinks from preparing it because he is q
