Two Men-Two States.

Two men happened to be in the
peculiar position of controlling their
respective States in the present nation
al contest. They are Senator Hill, of
New York, and Judge Gresham. of
Indiana.
These men have each a political fol-
lowing that takes its inspiration direct
ly from its leader, and the following of
each is quite ample to hold the balance
of power between the two great parties.
Had Senator Hill decided to refuse
the laboring oar for the Cleveland tick
ct in New York, Harrison's success in
that pivotal State would have been as
sured beyond doubt. With his cor
dial support of Cleveland, the Demo-
cratic candidate can't be defeated in
the Empire Commonwealth.
Had Judge Gresham given a cordial
support to Harrison this year as he did
in 1888. it would have been possible

Sand, Alexander Dumas and Victor
Hugo.
At half past three we took the steam
boat and had a lovely ride to this place
The water of lake Geneva is beautiful,
though none of us think it quite equals
lake Garda. Our hotel, as so many
have been, is beautifully situated righ,
On the shore of the lake. Mont Blanc
is opposite, but the air has been too
hazy for us to see it to-day.
We rode into Geneva in three quart
ers of an hour this morning. The day
was devoted to shopping mostly, and
has, consequently been a hard one. l
bought me steamer rug.
Professor took three of us to see
the water works. They are perfectly
wonderful to me. There is large
building in the middle of the Rhone
where the current of the river runs ten
or twenty turbine wheels which in turn
run pumps. The water is pumped up
in pipes twenty feet or so, and this
gives it force. There is one pipe which
supplies the houses and another which
supplies water to different manufacto-
ries, some ten miles out of town. The
force is equal to eight thousand horse
power. Five miles below the river is
damned in the same way, and the pow
er of the water is distributed.
Tomorrow we go to Chamounix, the
next day climb la Flegere and visit the
glacier des Blossoms. We come back
here and then go to Berne and spend
Sunday in Interlaken, thus changing
our plan somewhat.
I've been writing this in the parlor
where Miss F. is playing On the piano
and others are chattering, so my wits
are scattered. There are some little
German and French children here who
have been studying English. We had
lots of fun listening to their talk to-
night.

Some Things I Saw at the Exposi-
ti6n and Fair.

Ed. Register-As have been taking
in st. Louis and the Exposition and
Fair, will you let me tell, through youl
columns, some of your many readers
that are like myself-stay at home folks
that do not have the time or oppor
tunity to go when and where they
please, some of the things saw.
Saturday morning, October 18th,
took my grip sack and boarded the
Arcadia accommodation for st. Louis.
When we arrived, about nine or ten
o'clock, the rest of the day put in
visiting my children and grand children
and looking about the town.
Sunday morning we went to church
at Grand avenue Presbyterian Church
a very fine church with beautiful stain
ed windows representing many Scrip
tural scenes. We Il say we, for my
son Charley was my chaperon for the
week, as he is well up to the ropes)
we were seated in the fourth row of
steps from the altar, so that l could
perhaps hear. The organ was a very
fine large one, and | could hear the
quartet sing. They had good singing
and large congregation. l enjoyed
the meeting very much. After services
we took the electric cars and went out
to the northwest part of the city, and
took dinner with DR.. j. r. Smith and
family. And, by the way, how funny
it seemed to see those cars go kiting up
hill and down. As Chinaman said:
..No horsee, no mulee, no engine, yet
he go like de debble all de samee."
How different from the early days of
fair times, when there were no street
cars of any kind, nothing but the old
fashioned buss or hack; and to ride now
for miles just for five cents, and to sit
and watch the conductors, as they went
from car to car to gather the fares, his
eyes always on the watch, he sees every
one that gets on or of the cars; and the
motor man as he sits in front and
handles the levers to go ahead-Or stop.
Monday morning we started out for
the days sight seeing. First, we took
the cars for Tower Grove park some
miles west of the city. There we
wandered about among the lakes, stat
utes, flowers and trees. The grounds
have over three hundred acres, and
miles of the finest drives in the world,
with groves of all kinds of trees, and
banks of beautiful flowers. Every once
in while you come to seats where you
can sit and look at all of the beautiful
things. There are great many fine
pieces of statuary, some representing
the ancient days.
After being satisfied with the grove
we passed on to Shaw's Gardens, said to
be the finest garden in the United States.
do not remember how many acres
here are in the garden, but it is fenced
N with high wall with high massive
gates. When we come to the entrance
gate we were directed to go in. We |
stop to wonder if We are on earth or in
heaven. We have been transported to
some fairy land. land of flowers, to
,he garden of Eden. l do not believe |
any pen can portray the beauties OF
his enchanted land; such green grass !
kept shorn close to the ground like !
velvet. The walks free from dust, not !

but with Gresham openly against Har-
rison and for Cleveland. only politic-
al earthquake can give Harrison the
victory in his own State.
Judge Gresham's following in Indi-
ana, while as devoted as that of Senator
Hill in New York, is of an entirely diff
ferent character. 1t is made up of the
more thoughtful Republicans who are
not spoilsmen, and they believe in
Judge Gresham because he stands out
single from the common herd of great
men in his stubborn political honesty.
Hills followers are party men and for
party victory with all the spoils for the
victors, and they are an important fac
or in all parties; but an equally impor-
tant factor in the politics of to-day are
the men of conviction, who accept
higher aims in politics than party
plumber.
President Harrison is not personally
popular in his home State or elsewhere,
but the opposition that is reflected
through Judge Gresham is not the
creation of a lack of magnetism in the
1t is opposed to monopoly
tariff taxes; it is opposed to national
profigacy and it is opposed to the per-
version of party power to promote fav.

fection of Judge Gresham means the

Indiana. and adds much to the admit
ted uncertainty of Illinois. Philadcl-

MOUNTAIN SCENERY.
Some Delightful Sights In Italy and
Switzerland.

We left Milan at four o'clock for
Aroma where we took steamer on lake
Maggiore at six, and reached this place
at seven, where we found Professor
awaiting us. He had gone ahead to
arrange about our carriages over the
Simplon pass.
We made one funny mistake that
made us feel silly. At the town before
Aroma there was a sign out saying
a'Arona. Mr.. r. saw this and thought
it was Aroma, so he called out .'here we
are" and we all piled out in hurry.
We were no sooner out than some one
had sense enough to think that it wasn't
time to get to Aroma, and that it wasn't
the place. So we had to get on again
to the amusement of some of the natives.
1t was worse because nearly every one
had extra luggage and packages that
they had left at Milan when we were
there before.
1t rained when we were on the steam
er, but we were not sorry for there was
a beautiful rainbow, the first on our
trip except those in the foam of the
Rhine up in the Alps. Lake Maggiore
is beautiful, more like Windermere
than anything we have seen, though it
is wilder. This afternoon the wind was
up and there were little white caps all
over the water. 1t is getting late and I
must pack, for we start at six to-mor-
row morniug for our trip over the
Simplon.

NYON, Switzerland, Aug. "a, 1892.
Monday was n glorious day. The
showers of Sunday cleared the sky and
laid the dust. From Pallanza we drove
five miles to a station where we took
the train and rode to Domo d. Ossola,
where we found our carriages to take
us over the Simplon. We rode until
half past three when we reached the
town Simplon and had dinner. just
before we got to Simplon we saw a
water fall. On one side of the road
the mountain stream falls in beautiful
spray over the steep rock, and on the
other it thunders through narrow
ravine with steep rocky sides. The
water is carried with SUCH force
through this ravine that it breaks up
into dashing spray. We stood ON the
edge of the precipice and looked down
on the water roaring and tumbling way
below. ALI around rose mighty noun
tains with bare rocky sides and one was
covered with snow. The sight was
