THE fact is well worth noting that a
private owner of 100000 of the 4 ] per
cent. bonds, which will fall due next
September, has offered to extend them
at per cent. interest. This shows the
injustice of the statements made in
papers hostile to the administration to
the effect that the ability of Secretary
Foster to extend these bonds at rate
of interest far lower than was ever
known before for government securities
was due simply to the necessities of the
national banks using them as a basis
for their circulation.

DANIEL NJ. LOCKWOOD, who made
the speeches nominating Cleveland for
Sheriff, Mayor, Governor, and President,
and who is generally regarded as Cleve-
lands particular mascot, has entered the
gubernatorial race in New York. Per
haps he thinks that anybody who can be
winning mascot for fat-witted son
of luck can surely be of considerable
value to himself as luck getter.

A GRAY WESTERN STAR.
Frank Leslie's Newspaper.

Frank LeSIeS Newspaper.
Ex-senator Reagan, of Texas, in a
public interview, comes out broadly and
strongly against the nomination of
Cleveland in 1892. He says the Texas
delegation will demand the selection of
a Western man, and that Gray, Morrison,
or Don Dickinson would suit. Every
day makes it more apparent that Cleve-
lands nomination is an imposSibility
his "too previous" silver letter killed
him politically at the South and West,
where his greatest strength was. The
rising Democratic star is in the West,
and looks like Mr. Gray, of Indiana.

New York Recorder.
Wesley said that cleanliness was next
to godliness, but what he was thinking
of was mental rather than physical
purity. Some of the most wicked and
rascally men that ever have lived have
been noted for the care which they took
of their bodies. They made the outside
of the platter clean, and left the inside
of it to look after itself.

JEFFERSON DAVIS A PATRIOT.

JEFFERSON DAVIS A PATRIOT.
Harper's Weekly.
If the integrity of the Union is the
primary interest of the country, it does
not seem to be an evidence of unfalter-
ing fidelity to its interest to erect a
monument to a man who sought to
destroy the Union. Because as United
States Senator and Secretary of War
Mr.. Davis used his influence to promote
the spirit which led to the effort to over
throw the Union, it should be supposed
that his memory will command patriotic
respect and applause, is certainly extra
ordinary. No one can complain that
his friends should build his monument.
But it should not be done as the monu-
ment of an American patriot, without
protest. y If monument should
be erected to Jefferson Davis for his
services to his country, the statues of
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin should be overthrown.

M'KINLEY PRICES.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Some valuable testimony in behalf of
the Mckinley bill is supplied by Assist
Secretary Bussey of the interior depart
ment. Contracts for furnishing goods
and supplies to the Indians for the next
fiscal year, amounting to more than
$2,000,000, have just been awarded
These goods include woolen blankets
shawls, clothing and other wooden and
Worsted manufactures, cotton goods
unworked iron aud steel, builders hard
ware, household utensils, farming i'm
plements, beef, pork. flour, corn and
other grain, etc Assistant Secretary
Bussey personally superintended the
letting of these contracts, and knows
whereof he speaks when he compares
the cost of these goods day with the
prices of the same articles last year,
before the Mckinley bill went into
effect.
Mr.. Bussey states that the prices of
all manufactured goods in the outfit are
as low, or shade lower, under the new
tariff, while for beef, flour and other
agricultural products the prices are a
little higher than before the Mckinley
schedule became a law For instance,
eight pound pairs of blankets which
cost the government year ago 1886
are furnished this year by the same
parties at 50 81 per pair. And so with
other manufactured articles.
But the farmer who, according to the
free trade orators and organs, were being
taxed to death for the benefit of the
favored manufacturing classes, is get
ting higher prices for his products than
he could get prior to the ubiquitous
Mckinley tariff"
Verify, the Mckinley law is its own
best advocate. Its practical workings
is confounding the false prophets OF
disaster. The lying tin -peddler attach
ment prevented Maj. Mckinley from
wiping out the last 800 of the adverse
$500 majority against which he strug
gled last November, but that device will
be powerless to defeat him for Governor
of Ohio in 1891.

CHICAGO'S RECREATION GROUNDS
Harper's Weekly.
The parks and parkways OF Chicago
are of a type the outgrowth of her ma
tural landscape condition and the char
acteristics of her people. Between the
great lake on the east and the prairie
mainland on the west is low swampy
tract diversified by sand ridges washed
up by the storm waves and shifted
about by the winds. The lake in some
places encrOaches npon the land, and at
other points extends the shore by the
forming of sand-bars. Upon such site
was founded Chicago, and upon such a
soil she has built her parks and boule-
wards.
The wide streets were rescued as rap
idly as possible from their primitive
condition of alternate mud and dust,
graded, and laid with the most approved
forms of pavement. The fondness of
the people for riding and driving, that
I'D them at an early day to provide so
ioi puDiiO D, OauoOO OllC AChb-
of fine driveways to be prominent
en the public parks were to be made
Chicago's system of public recreation
grounds consists of six spacious parks
strung upon 30-mile chain of park
ways, called boulevards, which, except
for two short gaps soon to be filled,
completely encircles the city. These
parks and driveways are in general well
advanced toward completion, and as
their construction has progressed, they
have satisfactorily fulfilled the purposes
for which they were created. Jackson,
the largest of the parks, which recently
has been chosen as the site of the Worlds
Fair, is as yet mainly unimproved, but
is destined to be one day the foremost
recreation ground of Chicago. The
parks proper, with several small urban
grounds under the control of the West
Side Park Commission, comprise lS4l 40
acres of ground; and SO miles of boule-
wards have been built or laid out in
connection with them. In the twenty
two years since the beginning of park
construction in Chicago over twenty
million dollars have been expended upon
the purchase, building, and maintenance
of these parks and boulevards.

ROBERT BONNER
AND HIS FAMOUS RoADsTERs.


Harper's Weekly.
Robert Bonner, who set the fashion
for buying notably fast trotters at long
prices, has always refrained from taking
part in contest between horses, or
even against time for money consid-
Grafton. No other man has owned as
many famous performers as Mr.. Bonner,
or paid as much for the pleasure of
driving speedy roadster. He had sew
eral remarkably good horses before he
purchased Dexter, in 1867, on the very
day that the white faced gelding lower
ed the trotting record to 2.174 at Buffa-
but the price, $4,000, was unprecedent-
ed, and the possession of the king of the
turf gave Bonner a more extended rep
utation as hOrseman than he had be-
fore possessed. Since then he has been
always liberal buyer, and, excepting
Goldsmith Maid and st. Julien, he has
secured every champion trotter that has
yet appeared. Dexter at one time was
an inmate of his stable on West Fifty
fifth Street. RaruS, now tWenty-four
years old, will not leave his stall again
till he is carried out, for his crippled
front feet, which troubled him even in
his best days, have entirely failed him.
Maud S. too has trotted her last mile
against time, and the peerless chestnut
mare retires, in her seventeenth year, to
Mr.. Bonner's farm at Tarrytown, on the
Hudson, where she will be mated with
his stallion Ansel, record 2.20, by Elec-
tioneer. and hereafter will be used for
breeding. While she twice reduced her
record after Mr.. Bonner purchased her,
it is probable that the daughter of Harold
could have set the mark lower, as she
was only eleven years old when she
trotted her last public mile at Cleve-
land, July %, 1885.
While Mr.. Bonner has given consid-
cradle attention to breeding, and has on
his farm nearly a hundred head of fash
ionable stock, he has not lost his old
love for driving, which he took up in the
midst of his business career as a matter
of health by the advice of his physician.
He may be truly called the pioneer road
rider, and what is still more important,
made the owning of fast trotter thor
oughly respectable at time when the
turf was notOriously bad, and everything |
connected with it was looked upon with |
suspicion. While he wisely refrained |
from having anything to do with public
racing, Mr.. Bonner saw no reason why |
the shortcomings of the men who con-
trolled the turf should be visited upon
the horses themselves, and being desir- |
GUS of owning the best roadster that
money could buy, he did not hesitate
to go where the highest speed was OBJ
tainable, even in the face of public
opinion. Havinga a business character
above reproach, Mr.. Bonners champion
ship of the fast trOtter as a roadster
gradually broke down the barriers of
and many other wealthy New
Workers followed his example.
