Sights at the Exposition

Last Monday and Tuesday ye Editor
in company with Misses Zoe and Della
Richardson also Mrs. j. w. Rose of Ft.
Robinson Nebr. and Mrs. Blankenship
of Omaha attended the Greater Am.
erican Exposition, the weather was
delightful and the air ,cool therefore
everything suitable for an observer.
To give you more minute detail OF
the Exposition is my desire, but space
this week cannot be given however
suffice it to say that the exhibits this
year is more historic and instructive in
many instances then last year, we shall
only mention of the important things
In the Government building was the
Americas War Museum comprising
nearly 100000 objects of Historical
interest, Trophies, Relics, Curio' army
and Navy equipments including the
late Spanish-American war. The
famous old libby prison which use to
be in Chicago is now there, the first
rail that Lincoln split, the chair that
he sat in and the revolver which the
cowardly assassin shot him and the
carriage that Lincoln rode to the White
House, then the chair that Garfield
used with other relics about his as
sassination, also the old velvet suit
that George Washington were inaugur-
President with many other things OF
similar matter are indeed very inter-
esting. The Agricultural. Liberal Arts,
Fine Arts, Mechanic building was we'll
up and if not ahead of last year. on
Midway one can see nearly everything
from farce shows to the best, the Phi
lippine, Cuban Porto Rico and Hiawian
villages are the special attractions
The water buffalo diving in q pool of
water with the native Philippines
riding him was fine the music by the
famous Ohio Band, the Battle of Ma
nilla and the Indian war dance are the
general attractions all are good
There was nothing to mire our feeling
except the refusal of an insignificant
restaurant man to serve meals to us
after having his boys, and agen4s out
and solicited our patronage, see ed
itoral on it in another part of 9he
paper, socially we enjoyed a very pleas
ant time, we called on both the Pro-
gross and Enterprise Office, the latter
entertained us at dinner at the
Richelicu Hotel an enjoyable time was
had b. all.

to keep free silver at the front in the
campaigns of this fall and in 1900,
the New York World remarks that
"In 1896 the Democratic party was
beaten 6os,514 on the popular vote,
and o5 in the electoral college, and
since then has lost four States, with
III electoral votes, and gained only
Kentucky, which islikely to be lost
again this year."

1t turns ou: that the attacks upon
Pension Commissioner Evans are
lagely due to the fact that he has
dropped from the roll of claim a.
gents and pension attorneys more
than 10000 men. When he came
into office the names of more than
50, 900 attorneys were on the record
of the Pension Office and today the
number is S,4oi. Many of these
names have been dropped because
of fraudulent practices. The a
mount paid to the claim agents last
year was $479,9oo compared with
$3.50, 900 in the proceeding year, a
saving of sass, 100 to the veterans
and a loss of that amount to the
claim agents. Hence the dissatis-
faction Of the SCENTS and the yigor
81 the fight which they have agsinst
Mr.. Evans.

POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.

There is little if any doubt but
that William p. Morrison will be
reelected Clerk of City Council.
This will make his third term and
probably his last. He has made a
good clerk and stands well with the
Councilmen.
We had rather expected to see
Dennis Lcary come out for this po-
sitlon. but we have been given to
understand that he would like to be
City Auditor. But Isaac c. Pyle
wants it too and we are willing to
bet dollars to doughnuts that Isaac
will be winner.
The thirteen new members OF
Council will be sworn in the first
Thursday in July. This number
has always been considered an un-
lucky one among the superstitlous,
but then the Democrats are not to
be scared at anything like super
stition.
Bailiff of Council, John j. Ryan,
would like to throw up his $40 a
year Job and succeed Michael J.
kelley, inspector of oils and fluids.
This pays as much as $4,000 year.
1t is a good paying job at any rate.
The fight is on for Meat Inspector
and George Adele, who has held
the position since 1893, when it was
first created, wants to succeed him.
self. 1t pays better than clerk OF
the market, with less to do. 1t is a
snap, if there ever was one. The
clerk OF the market and meat in
spector should be one and the same
office and thereby save one OF the
salaries. One man could easily
| perform both duties. The clerk OF
| the market should be butcher.
The term of the Building Inspec-
tor John ]. Cassidy does not expire
until 1901, so Mr.. Cassidy does not
have to feel anyways uneasy until
| that year.
Walter II. Hartlove and several
others want to be the regulator Of
