Some of our County Democratic
pnpers are congratulating their party
upon an honest caucus. That the
frauds were not so brazen as last year
is true, but that the ballots were tam
pered with i'll this city, is openly
charged by Democrats, and in more
than one ward. In Clinton township
the friends of DIR. Boileau claim that
the votes were not counted ms cast, and
it looks very much as though there
had been considerable crookedness
there The vote as reported shows
that ie5 ballots were cast Mt the Dem
ocrntic caucus, while Mt the election
last Fall, when there was n governor
md congressman to elect, the highest
vote on the Democratic ticket was only
3O5.

MAIN BUILDING ADoRNmENT.


Architectural Establishment sylnbolizing
the several Aims of the National
Export Exposition.
The idea of drawing the nations of
the earth together in close brotherhood
of trade is happily symbolized in the
sculptural adornment Of the Main
Building of the National Export Expo
sition. Three pavilions are connected
so as to form one complete structure,
which at first view has the appearance
of agreat marble palace and conveys
the impression of permanency. ltsad-
mirable design, fine structural execu-
ton and architectural embellishments
have strongly brought out its effective
ness, and the artistic allegorical work
of the sculptors adds greatly to its ut
Effectiveness. Each of the three pavil-
ions which constitute the Main Build
ing is ornamented with pediment at
either end, containing figures in high
relief illustrating the six continents
On the North Pavilion the pediments
represent "Africa" and Australia,
on the Central Pavilion "Asia" and
europe" and on the South Pavilion
"North America" and "South Ameri-
en- Above each of these pediments
arc two groups and an eagle, the lat
ter occupying position just above the
apex of the pediment. The groups
| L. 90, 10,
ton are ten feet high, and symbolic
Corn" Spinning" ''Bookmaking"
and GINS" on the North Pavilion;
"Wine, Coal, Cotton" and
"Wool, on the Central Pavilion; and
"Iron, ELECTRICITY, Forestry and
"Stone, on the South Pavilion.
One of the most significant and ex-
tensive ornamentations of the building
is the pedimentwhich occupies n CON
spicuous place above the doorways of
the main entrance and North Pavilion
This work of art which is thirty feet
long, with an extreme height of ten
feet, represents commerce. At the
feet of the central figure, which typi-
fies Commerce, sits "Mercnry;" Mt
its right is figure representing
Peace and group of "Neptune;"
n mariner naiad and dolphin around
n boats prov, symbolizing "Nayiga-
tom" and ON the left are fguresr repre-
senting Abundance, Fortune and
Labor, and a group typifying On
| l"ut", nnndrip" eivt"ou faet
high to the top of the figure of "Vic-
tory" stands above the pediment, and
on either side is a group ten feet high,
one representing Transportation, :"
the other Navigation.
Other prominent features of the orna-
mentation at the main entrance are
large circular placques modelled in re-
lief, with the seals of the United States,
the State of Pennsylvania, the Frank
lin Institute, the Philadelphia CONNER
cinl Museum and the City of Philadol-
phia. In addition to these adornments
enumerated, others of strictly archi-
tectural character, such as mouldings,
columns, capitals and bases, balustrades
and cornices, contribute to the general
effectiveness and beauty of the build
| ing.

MORE FARMER IMMIGRANTS.
The Commissioner's Annual HepGr Shows n Change for the Better
 in migration.

The commissioner of immigration has submitted to the treasury department his annual report for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1899, and it shows that the average number of immigrants ar irving from foreign lands is at the rate of 1000 a day=Sg ldays and holidays eXcluded-or nearly 312 GOO for the pre- ceding 12 months, an increase of B per cent. over the figures of the previous year. Immigra tion into the United States tluctuates from year to year, the deter mining factors in the totals being good or bad times in the United States, and warlike or pacific times abroad. The Italian immigration of the past 25 years has been due in great measure to the enforcement of conscription in Italy, and it is we'll established rule that, when economic conditions are unfavor- able in he United States the immgra- ton falls off to revive when times im- prove.
 The most noticeabS feature of the immigration during the last fiscal year is the fact that q larger number of agri- eulturalists are coming than hereto. fore, and there is q corresponding de- crease in the number of unskilled la borers or factory employees. The larg- est increase has been in the number of Finnish immigrants. Nearly all of them are farmers, dissatisfied with their political condition abroad since the Russian government began the process of Russianizing the province The Films are good farmers and theY are, moreover, farmers accustomed to labor in districts in which the climatic conditions are unfavorable Many of them are seeking homes here in the west and northwest, but few have gone to the upper counties of New ! orlI state and 10 the Michigan peninsula From Hungary too. many are coming from the agricultural districts and few CT to work in mines and factories.
 The overwhelming ma ioritv of immi- grants come. of course. from Furope. nearly 300,000 of the total of 312.000. though there has been an increase in the number of immigrants from Asiatic countries. From Africa Australia and South America there are practically no immigrants. Ii is pointed out in the report of the commissioner of immigra- lion Chat considerable number of the newcomers do tot appear in the treas ary figures newcomers from Canada and Mexico who, residing on or rear the border. come into the uitcd States without the formality of registration. sometimes expecting 10 remain for a short time. This is specially true of French Canadians on the northern New -ifT2tQnd border and of Mexican. on the 1 boundary line of Texas and sW56cra California. some of the French Caua- dians and the largest number of the Mexican newcomers are eitHef. farfacrs

The main point, which should never be lost sight of, is that it must be very high in the back, while in front it is low enough to be a com fortable rest for the chin. Some of the new collars have two high points rising just under the ears, while others come up in one high point in the middle Of the back of the neck. Then. again. a pretty full box p,ait of soft lace falls over the military plainness in the back, while a narrow ruche of the same lace is turned over the collar in front.-N. \. Herald.
