The Beauty of the Fair Buildings.

Frank d. Millet, who has seen all of
the worlds great expositions of recent
years, says of the Chicago fair:
The grand style, the perfect proper
tions and the magnificent dimensions of
the buildings of the Worlds Columbian
exposition excite twofold sentiment in
the mind of the visitor-wonder and ad-
miration at the beauties Of the edifices
and regret and disappointment that they
are not to remain as monuments to the
good taste, knowledge and skill Of the
men who built them, and as perma-
nent memorial of the event which the
exposition is intended to celebrate.
This complex feeling is a natural one,
and is perfectly comprehensive in the
presence of the noble porticoes and colon
nades, the graceful towers, superb domes
and imposing acades.-Scribner's
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1893-01-12

Washington's new governor, whose
Inauguration into Office was celebrated
at Olympia yesterday, is a man Of well
known ability and pronounced force Of
character. If he does not make an en-
viable record for himself during his in
cumbency-one which will give him
an honored place in the history of the
state-the fault will be all his own.
Even were the charge of his political
opponents true, that he has been asso-
eiated with.a questionable combination,
he Is none the less master of the stu
alton, and John II. McGraw, and no
one else, will be responsible for the
present administration. No one knows
the needs Of the state as a whole better
than he, and under the present circum-
stances, with a Republican legislature
to aid in carrying his policy into effect,
no one is better able to make the
present term Office rebound to the in
terests Of the state at large. This is his
opportunity to rise supreme above
party bias and sectional interest, and
prove himselfa true citizen Of the no
blest commonwealth of a noble sister,
hood Of states.

There are 5000 colored officeholders
at present. They are employed in vsri-
Gus capacities, and their pay ranges
from that Of Hon. Blanche X. Bruce,
recorder of deeds for the District of
Columbia, who gets s1s, 900 year, down
to the laborer at dollar day. There
are q number of colored young men in
Washington who have graduated from
a literary college and taken degrees in
law and medicine besides. There Is q
great field for these educated colored
men II they have the heroism to work
in it. Before them stand their race in
pitiful ignorance and poverty. The ed
ucated negro who should go among
those Of his own color and teach them
TO be thrifty, honest and industrious,
showing them how they might advance
themselves in education and prosperity,
would be truly the Moses of his people.
When the negro has learned self respect
he will begin to be treated with respect
by white people.

Caused by Change of Fare.

The "befoh de wah" colored man was
noted for the brilliant whiteness of his
teeth, a quality which is not inherited
by his descendants of the present day.
Nowadays the teeth of the negroes do
not seem to be nearly so good as those Of
his brother. The reason is to be found
in the change of food. The slaves had
plenty to eat, but the food given them
was Of the simplest kind. Pork, meal,
potatoes and such vegetables as they
raised themselves formed their bill Of
fare. Now they eat all sorts of indigest-
ible stuff, outdoing the white people in
this direction, showing particular fond
ness for candies and sweetmeats. The
consequence is that in single genera
ton the ivory teeth Of the slave have
given place to the decayed fangs of the
freedman.
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1893-01-12

The fact that an office of public trust
is accepted by candidate carries with
it the obligation to look after the in
terests Of the people, and it goes with
out the saying that an honest man will
have that obligation always before his
mind as a constant rule Of action. For
any member Of state legislature or
city council, therefore, to preface every
remark by the statement that he is act
ing "in behalf of the people," or that
he sis jealous of the peoples interests
and money" is to awaken the suspi-
cion that perhaps he is merely whist
ling to cover his own tracks, or that he
is only demagogue, and acting part
10 gain the applause of the galleries.
Further than this, such profession is
both a bombastic publication Of ones
own virtue, and at the same time an
insinuation that his colleagues are
guided by some other motive than hon.
esty or faithfulness to the trusts COM
mitted to them. Men of downright in
tegrity and honesty are not compelled
TO fiaunt the possession of these virtues
in nauseating self praise, but are con-
tent to transmute their honesty into all
Of their official as well as private acts
Another feature of the public life of
the officer who looks to the galleries
for an endorsement is braggadocio de-
mand that every one voting in opposi-
ton to his plan or desire shall be put
upon record" This is to assume that
he is the only brave man of the body,
and all the rest are towards. Some
times this putting an opponent on
record" is sword that cuts with both
edges.

COL. A. T. M REYNOLDS. United states
court for treason, and through Colonel
McReynolds' efforts acquitted. He took
an early and active interest in politics.
In 1887 he was elected an alderman in
Detroit, and two years later was one of
the delegates to the national convention
in Harrisburg which nominated William
Henry Harrison, grandfather of the pres
emit occupant of the White House, and be
is probably the only survivor of that con-
vention, Of which Horace Greeley and
Historian Bancroft were also members.
When the Toledo war broke out-a dis
pute between Michigan and Ohio over
boundary ines-McReynolds marched to
the seat Of war as a major and then
marched home again, as did the belliger-
ents on both sides, without firing a gun.
In 1847 he was elected to the state leg
islature as a senator to represent Detroit,
and with Ex-Governor Alpheus Fetch
shares the honor Of being the Oldest liv-
ing member of that body. While still
member Of the legislature the Mexican
war opened. He resigned his Office, and

Third dragons. He won promotion by
gallant service and returned to Detroit
with an arm shattered by musket ball.
He was living in Grand Rapids, Mich,
when the late war broke out, and was
among the first to respond to the call
for troops. He was given a commission
as colonel, raised the first volunteer
cavalry regiment of the war in New
York city and served throughout the
contest, receiving honorable mention for
services at Gettysburg. After peace had
been declared he returned to Michigan.
He continued in active practice of his
