To Major McKiAley: Manufac-
tured enthusiasm is cheap and easily
obtainable, but it will require votes
to elect the next Governor of Ohio.
II the Kansas Alliance carry out
their announced intention of es>
tabishing bank to be conducted on
the sub-treasury plan, its workings
will be carefully watched from all
sections.
The salary list of the Worlds Fair
is growing out of all proportion to
the progress made. The next Con-
gress may have to take the matter up.
EVERYBODY wishes the Fair to be a
success, but the taxpayers, and under
the present tariff that's all of us, GER
taiEly do not wish to see their money
squandered in fancy salaries for Tom,
Dick and Harry, nor in paying useless
travelling expenses of the same indi-
viduals, who are mostly engaged in
working their jaws.
Ex.Congressman Grosvenor, whose
recent unjust and uncalled for attack
upon our foreign born citizens in a
newspaper interview, and whose
unmanly attempt to crawl out of the
hole by throwing the responsibility
on the newspaper men who inter-
viewed him, are fresh in the public
mind, has been compelled to resign
the nice little snap to which he was
recently appointed-chairman of
commission to visit Europe for the
purpose DEMONSTRATING immigration.
Grosvenor always did have too much
mouth for his brain. He has been
given another sinecure appointment.
The idea of having an extra session
of Congress and of the United States
Supreme Court held in Chicago as
side shows to the big exposition,
while unique, does not seem to en-
thuse the country. The solemnity OF
the atmosphere which always sur
rounds the Supreme Court would be
sadly out of place in Chicago. Con-
gress, particularly the House in one
of its boisterous moods, would be per-
fectly at home there, but there is
reason to believe that great ma
jority of its members will object to
being thus placed on exhibition. 1t
will be too much on the order of
"Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works."
John Sherman may, after all, con-
clude that he isn't a candidate for re-
election to the Senate. There are
two reasons why he may do this.
One is that the democrats may elect
a majority of the next Ohio legisla-
ture and the other is that if the re-
publicans succeed in their frantic eff
forts to carry the legislature it may
be controlled by Foraker men. Sher-
man is willy, as his action at the con-
vention after he knew that the For
aker crowd was on top fully demon-
strated. He will not be a candidate
unless he knows that he can be
elected; he doesn't care to shoulder
the ignOminy of defeat after having
bossed the Ohio republicans all these
years.
The gentlemen who have now
come forward with proposition that
the United States and Mexico jointly
guarantee 100000, 900 Of bonds to be
used in constructing the TehauntepeC
ship railway and canal, which was SO
ong associated with the name Of the
late Captain Eads, doubtless think
they have as much right to ask and
expect such a guarantee as have Elk
Senator Warner Miller and the other
eminent republican politicians who
are manipulating the Nicaragua
canal scheme, and they have. But
this Government should not guaran.
tee bonds for either of the schemes.
