The plan to hold an industrial exposi-
tom at Cleveland, Ohio, next year has
matured so far as to give promise OF
fulfillment, and there Is some prospect
that the enterprise may result in some
thing more than a temporary fair. AL
ready the proposal has been made to
found a permanent exposition of the in
dustrial resources of Cleveland and of
the State Of Ohio, but whether this will
be carried into execution will depend
largely upon the success of the tempo
rary exposition. A thorough canvass
of the manufacturing establishments of
the city is being made for the purpose
of finding what local exhibits can be
depended upon and what financial sup
port will be given. The proposition of
the executive committee is that Cleve-
land citizens shall subscribe certain
amount-$500, 900 has been suggested-in
the form Of notes These notes, it IS
proposed, shall be made payable one
year from the date of their issue. They
are to bear interest only on that amount
which 1t becomes necessary to use in
supplying a possible deficit when the
exposition Is ended. The notes are TO
be hypothecated at local banks, and
money advanced as the demand for 1t
appears during the progress of the cele-
bration. The idea is also to place the
proceeds from the exposition in local
banks from day to day, and when the
centennial is ended the amount in banks
is to be applied to the Indebtedness. IF
there should be deficit the notes would
be used to liquidate it pro rata. When
the exposition was given in Cincinnati,
in 1888, the citizens subscribed in that
way s1,500,OOO, but there is no intention
on the part Of the commission to ask
for such large subscription in Cleve-
land.

western Kansas, where the rainfall Is
insufficient for crop raising, and where

is water, underlying the whole of the

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-There is enough
returns to indicate that there has been a
landslide in Maryland and that the Re-
publicans have elected their entire state
and city ticket and that they will have
a working majority in the next legisla..
ture, which will choose successor to
United States Senator Gibson. Even
Howard county, the home Of German,
has apparently reversed its normal ma
jority Of 500 and gives Lowndes (Rep.)

number Of votes. Baltimore city goes
for the Republican ticket both state and
municipal, by majorities ranging from
5000 to 5000, and both branches Of the
city council will probably be Republican
for the first time in many years. In
fact there is not leg left for the Demo-
cratic party to stand on in what has
long been considered one Of the safest
Democratic states in the Union.

About Shoes.

Notwithstanding the admiration
we have for Whittier's poem of "The
Barefoot boy" and the interest we
feel IN the youngster, mankind IN all
ages has been prone to shoe it's feet.
Probably the cav"-dwellers had no
shoes, but az soon as man began to
have an existence worth recording,
he invented coverings for his feet.
The Hebrew Scriptures. us antique
as almost any writings. contain ire
quent illusions to foot-gear, making
it certain that shoes or sandals were
in quite general use. In this connec-
ton, it is interesting to note the
kinds OF shoes worn by various ma
lions.
The Portuguese shoe has q wood
en- sole and heel, with vamp made
OF patent leather, fancifully showing
the flesh side Of the, skin.
The Persian footgear is raised
shoe, often foot high. 1t Is made
of light wood richly inlaid, with
strap extending over the 1nstep.
The Siamese shoe has the form OF
an ancient canoe. with a gOndOla
bow and an open toe. The sole Is
made of who'd and the upper OF In
laid wood and cloth, and the exter'
Tor is deliberately ornamented In
col0re. and with gold and silver.
The sandal worn by the Egyptians
is composed OF sole made by stick
ing together three thicknesses Of
lesther. This is held to the foot by
passing g. band across the instep.
The sandal is beautifully stitched
with threads of different colOrs.
The Mussulman's shoe is Of heavy
leather. 1t Ia adjusted to the foot
by a wide leather strap, which runs
from the heel and buckles over the
instep. The only characterization is
the fastening of two feather plumes
on the right side of the toe.
In our own country shoes are OF
almost infinite variety In both ma
terial and style. There are those
for the house, the carriage, and for
walking. The wearing Of shoes.

REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

The news is the same from
ev erywhere, and the same as it
was last year, and in 1893. The
people are tired of Democratic
rule, and show no signs Of again
favoring it. New York, Massa.
chusetts, Ohio and Iowa give mag
nificent ma]orities for the Repub.
lican candidates. New Jersey and
Delaware come into the Republi-
can fold, and even Kentucky is
left on debatable ground. A Re.
publican United States senator
will be elected as Germans COL
league, and the latter stands as a
repudiated leader. Col. Brice will
have Republican successor from
Ohio.
There is no hope for Democracy
in this country for years to come.
The administration Of affairs by a
president and congress that was
entirely Democratic has been SO
disastrous to the interests Of the
country that the experience will
not be repeated for a generation.
An administration that deprived
it's people Of employment, its pro.
ducers of market, and itself of
income enough to pay the running
expenses of the government, has
received the rebukes it deserved.
The people impatiently await the
time to place better men in power.

Republicans Make Clean Sweep I'm
Massachusetts.
BosToN, Nov. 6.-The question in
Massachusetts, FROM the first was one Of
majority, since the Democratic leaders
admitted the reelection of Governor
Greenhalge. How strong his endorse
ment would be was the point upon
which the two parties differed. Re.
suits show that the claims Of the Re-
publicacs made prior - the election
were well grounded, since Governor
Greenhalge and the entire Republican
ticket'is endorsed by plurality prac.
tically the same a. that Of 1894.
The legislative department Of the
government is also solidly Republican,
80 of the 40 senators elected being Of
that political basis. There is slight
gain for the Democratic party, the SEN
ate last year having stood 50 Republic
cans and Democrats. &' .ast g..
In the house Of representatives the
Republicans have practically the same
majority as Last year, which was an
overwhelming one. The governors
council will contain but one Democrat
as an advisor in the executive chamber.
