its brilancy when the latter reached Queenstown

How long are Superintendent Murray ana

possble that a man cannot walk through an open
square in the heart of the city at 9 O'CLOCK IN
the evening without being liable to fall INTO the

The conviction is spreading that Governor Hill
will need all of his well-known assurance wheh
he sits down to veto the Ballot Reform bill which
Republican Legislature will send him this winter.
So far as they have been named the new west
ern Senators are men eminently qualified for the
high station they to occupy. Judge Moody
and Mr.. Pettigrew, from South Dakota, who were
the first chosen, have shared with Governor Mel
lette the most conspicuous places in the affairs OF
their portion of the Dakotas. North Dakota has
named but one of her Senators, and sharp con-
Senator chosen Ex-Governor Gilbert A. Pierce,
will bring into the political and social life of the
capital varied experience, large culture and
considerable fund Of natural ability. He IS
known not only as the wisest, best and most hon.
ored Executive Dakota ever had, but also as
story-writer of much felicity and success, and as
an accomplished newspaper man. Washlngtons
representatives are Ex-Governor Squire and ex-
Delegate Allen, both of them among the first men
of the Pacific Slope Senator Squire possesses
some wealth and great talent. His administra-
ton in Washington covered the period of her
greatest development, and little Of the progress
then made was due to his wise and earnest work.
Mr.. Allen is younger man, popular, aggressive
and clever. Montana has not yet made her selec-
lions. Her Legislature meets for that and other
purposes tomorrow. The State contains full
dozen men who would make creditable and useful
Senators, and perhaps some lively balloting will
be done in caucus before decision is reached.
Mr. Andrew D. White says that one must journey
as far East as Constantnople to find streets rs
badly kept as those of New-York. Yet we venture |
to say that Constaninope's bill for STRENGTHENING
is not one-tcnth of the amount this city annually |
pays out. Why can't we get dollars worth OF
cleaning for every dollar spent for this purpose
No feature of the French Exhibition, though IN |
everything a remarkable success, attracted so
much attention or proved so remunerative as the
Einel Tower Its stockholders have already re-
ceived the full amount of their investment IN
profits, so that the future receipts, saving the few
francs needed to keep it in order will be what
the Kentuckians call velvet Naturally, upon
the whole, the French feel much elated over their
,bo,, and all tho more as every great Power eX- |
,ept the United States was at much pains in the
beginning to throw cold water upon it. The
United States has never had much trouble to
move in harmony with the French people, and it
S source of as much satisfaction to Americans
IS to tie French that part in their display, if
lot particularly great was at least presented with
good feeling.
