E Brown, Prop


The ingleside, which is a bay or re-
cess in hte side of the room capable OF
receiving hooded fireplace and usual
ly having windows and seats at the
side, is an exceedingly picturesque
feature of the modern halls. Like
most picturesque features, it is a
revival. The old ingle corners
were famous seats in old manor
houses, and were probably the only
ones where the draughts that poured
in around door and through crevices
did not reach. These recesses in large
halls with high ceilings did not extend
up to the ceiling, but were much lower,
and the front over the ingleside was
furnished with a shelf for the display
of fine pottery or any curios. In a
dining-room the shelf was used for the
display of plate. In some recent houses
an ingleside is arranged under the
stairs. The outside of the house shows
the chimney displayed on the outside of
a bay, or a projection similar to bay
window, but with windows at the sides
only. Upstairs above the ingle this
projection is used as a closet, lighted
at the side. N. Y. Tribune.

Presbyterian Assembly,

NEW YORK, April 27.-The
Briggs ghost, which will not down
in spite Of the many times it is sat
upon by Presbyteries and synods,
will walk again today at the meet
ing of the New York Presbytery,
when the question OF licensing stu
dents from Union Theological
seminary will come Iup. Some
members Of the Presbytery resent
the General Assembly's instruc-
tions against licensing such stu
dents to preach. Discovering re-
sponsibility for the views taught
at Union, the assembly frowns
upon the graduates Of that institu-
ton. The Presbytery says 1t won't
be dictated to.

How a Swamp Has Grown.

A correspondent gives the history OF
the Lougee morass in Sangerville, Me.
where 40 years ago there was but a
small mudhole in the road, which grew
larger until the whole width of the road
was sunk, and a log was laid along
the side for people to cross on. Al
last the mud became so deep that ii
was difficult for teams to cross, so
rocks were put in, until at last the
town was obliged to build bridge SO
feet long. All went well for awhile,
when it was observed that this struc-
ture was sinking. Again the town had
bridge laid upon this, which was then
sunk in the mud and water, extending
several feet more in length than the
first. AS the years passed this bridge
sank in like manner, and then the town
took a vote to see whether it would
build road around the swamp or lay
another bridge. 1t was decided to build
the bridge, which is $50 feet long, but
this bridge also is constantly sinking,
and will soon have to be covered by an
other, and heightened 100 feet or more.

Quay shows that he Is a better
general than Boss Platt. That is
all the difference between them. 1t
is not possible for Quay to hold
Pennsylvania for himself in the
st. Louis convention. He is en-
dorsed by the state which he
bosses, but the endorsement costs
the harmony, and that is an awful
price for any state to pay for the
supremacy OF its political task
master.

They Should Pay Something.

In recent message the mayor
Of Cleveland, Ohio. says:
Companies controlling public
privileges should be required to
have a just proportion Of the
public expenses.
81 believe the city should never
grant franchise without an
adequate return. This return
should increase in direct ratio
with the benefits derived. These
benefits, it must be remembered,
are encha need in proportion as the
city grows in population, business
and wealth. Value for value is
the only proper rule, in my judg-
ment, to follow. OF late there has
been more or less talk relative to
street railroad consolidation and
the extension of grants. Upon
this proposition, it seams to me
the city should take a positive
stand. Without going into the
al "OuIu thC5C
conditions upon which think the
city should insist; reduced fare
universal transfers; the payment
Of a portions Of the gross receipts
annually into the public treasury ;
the paying of a part of every street
occupied by railroad, and a peri
odical revision Of fare and per-
centages. 1 believe we should at
least have terms as favorable as
these which 1 consider but fair
and right.
every suburban railroad COM
pany should pay the city for the
privilege of running it's cars over
the city streets. Every telephone,
telegraph, or other corporation, as
we'll as every individual receiving
important public rights should al
so be required to pay a just and
adequate sum for the quasi-public
privileges it enjoys"
The above will be suggestive to
our mayor and council.

MONDAY, APRIL 81, 1896

There is on foot a movement by
a wealthy syndicate Of London and
Paris bankers to advance TO the
Cuban patriots the money neces-
sary to purchase the island from
Spain, but it is by no means GER
tain that the Cuban leaders will
agree to it, as they prefer to fight
for it rather than buy what they
consider their own. The move
ment is important as showing the
feeling among capitalists as to the
possibilities Of an investment Of
that kind being made to yield re-
turns that would remunerate.

READ, MARK, DIGEST.

From Platt's state and under the
shadow of Tom Reeds candidacy,
from the great empire state of New
York comes this, in the shape Of
an editorial comment upon the po-
litical methods Of Lincoln:
Mckinley is no more an active,
affirmative candidate for the pres
idency than was Abraham Lincoln.
Indeed, he is not so skillful poll
tlcian. He is simply staying at
home mindiDg his own business,
going modestly in and out among
the people, willing, like Cincin-
nstus, to accept his party's call,
but INDUCING in no unseemly or
undignified scram BILE for the nomi-
nation. Twice he has waved aside
a nomination which might have
been his, because he felt honorably
bound to work for the nomination
Of another. He is now. under no
such obligation, and no man has a
better right than he to aspire to an
office which so large a majority of
his party seems to believe to be
rightfully his. In the fullest and
truest sense OF the expression, the
office is seeking the man.
This is from the New York Mail
and Express of the 18th. 1t is re-
spertfully commended to the peru
sal OF those Texas republicans who
are trying to make a war of exter-
mination on all republicans in
this state who refuse to be dictated
to by the colored employee Of the
Clarkson-Platt combine, who
prostitutes his position as the ma
tional committeeman Of the repub-
lican party for Texas to prevent
any honest expression OF the sem
timent OF the state in the national
convention. This effort Is so
plainly observable that it is work.
ing its own cure, and there will
be a revolt at st. Louis from
control so CALLING and a
political taskmastership so
servile. The whole history Of po-
litical prostitution of power to
base end has no more pertinent il
lustration than this attempt to
override the plain political prefer
ences of a state and sell its politi-
cal liberties into the hands of for
eign foes. Bad enough under any
circumstances, but infinitely more
damnable when the treachery is
perpetrated by the representatives
of the party. There is no political
hell too hot for the just punish
ment of such a crime as stealing
the political franchises Of state
and selling it to a party who has
paid for the perfidy in advance.

There are only about seven
weeks more of this uncertainty and
then the hosts Of the rival candi-
dates will line up at st. Louis and
the agony as to nominations will
be over. With Mckinley as the
standard bearer there will be a
wave OF enthusiasm that has not
been felt in any election since the
"grand old commander" swept
the country for his second term.

Cullom continues to delude him
self with the idea that he is a

tonishing regularity. Four dis
trict conventions which met on
Thursday last took the Mckinley

The people Of the country want
Mckinley for president. This
truth is so plainly written upon
the pages of the conventions, dis
trict and state so far held, that it
is a wonder that men like Clark
son and Platt and Quay do not see
that it is fighting against manifest
destiny to oppose his nomination.

There is a breaking away from
the old order OF things on the part
Of the New York World, and that
influential journal is as likely to
be found supporting the nomina-
ton of Mckinley as supporting
any one whom the democracy of

Kinley without dissenting voice
in her convention. 1t is the voice

shows, Mckinley has not been
plotting the overthrow of state
preferences in order to make his
nomination sure. Like Lincoln, he
has waited the voice OF the people.

If the railroads cannot be con

own Germany; that country soon
afterwards owned the railroads. 1t

in America. All of our railroads
are involved in debt, and most of
them are operated by schening,
dishonest and designing men, who
utterly disregard justice and quiz
