freezes in President Cleveland says "politics is and Secretary Gresham says "politics are." People who have studied Ameri can politics know that it Is singular. THE DEMOCIUT must be very highly thought of in certain quarters. We notice a tendency to imitate every feature. IT Is understood that a representative of the sheet that favored the "ripper" aid that "that paper's support of that measure was only a blind to accomplish another purpose and the scheme had worked." What is "the other" scheme! Is it possible that the bridge "ripper" is meant! Is there a hidden scheme concerning which the public is in the dark!

He continued pastor of this church for about eight years, having entered the United States army in the meantime and been commissioned chaplain.

He was then called to the pastorate at Waveland, and from there went to Kansas City, where he continued pastor of the First Presbyterian church for five years. He was then elected to the superintendency of the Presbyterian board of publication, his headquarters being in St. Louis.

Yes, Mr. Mac, there will be enough tariff for yon, there was last November, and there will be just enough affairs pertaining directly to the government of the state of record of the legislature for in to make it sufficiently interesting for you. THAT BRIDGE IT MAT 1IBSDLT. Morey's bridge "ripper" bill is as unconstitutional as anything can be. It is a species of special or class legislation that the courts will knock out as socn as it is brought to their attention, Tbe people of Butler county elected three mtn to do the'business of the county and to spend their money.

This thing of Morey getting a partisan legislature to enact special "ripper" legislation just to shut out democratic officials and pjt a lot of idle republicans into a soft job at the people's expense will not go, Tbe democrats do not intend to sit by and see any such play without taking a hand. The bridge "ripper" 4s unlawful and the matter must be fought to the end. There Is no objection on the part of the DEMOCRAT or of any body else that we have heard of, to a new and very elegant bridge, costing at least $100,000 at High and Main streets, but there Is a serious objection to rushing through a republican "commission" to build said bridge. The people of Butler county claltil the men they desired to spend their money and Morey and his crowd cannot take away this right. According to this bill the former bridge bill, passed the same time as the Black street bridge bill, is repealed.

Tnis much is settled. There is a question regarding the constitutionality of tfle former bill, but every one wanted to see a new bridge at High and Main streets and there was no opposition. Now what is the case I A partisan bill passed; the persons back of it say the property holders on Main street requested the bill. If this is the cate, these said property holders have taken a course that may lead to the defeat of the whole bridge scheme. The present bill will be litigated.

If declared unconstitutional then there Is no authority for the commissioners to spend any sum for a bridge ana Tbe net result ot all this is (hat the present suspension bridge will continue to stand and Indefinitely at that. If the people who wanted a new bridge at Hlf and Main, If they were sincere IB this, why did not they drop some of tbelr political spite and have the old bill amended, increasing the amount from 166,000 to 1160,000, and then the commissioners would have had enough money with which to begin the construction of brttg such as every body wants to see.

Several days ago he made some pictures for a young lady whom he knew by sight but whose name he did not know. As is known by all, the persons ordering pictures must have his name registered at the studio of the artist. When the lady gave her order the photographer, not wanting her to know that he did not know her name, and still to find it out asked, "Let me see, how do you spell your name?" was the reply.

The doctor tells this on himself else we would not have ventured to repeat It. Superintendent C. C. Miller, who con. stantly visits the different school rooms, happened In a certain room one day, when tbe class had a recitation in reaJ- ing.

The reading did not suit the superintendent, so he said he would read just like they had been and asked the pupils to grade his reading. He read and they all gave him an excellent grade. Mr. Miller had an Idea that the pupils had graded him high because they did not feel free to give him a low mark. But he wanted to give them pupils an example of good reading, so he again read the selection, this time (as he said) as he would like the pupils to read.

After having finished the superintendent said, "How do you grade that!" A little colored girl In the class, in a loud voice, Mr. Miller is not usually easily dumbfounded, and at a loss for words or expression, but in this instance it Is a matter of record that he had nothing to say, and the exercise in reading came to an end.

Several instances were given where great men sprang into prominence by being just tbe persons needed in the crisis then at hand. Man's ability, cbances and short period of life make him incapable of having any great Influence over tbe history of the world. The world bad long been preparing for the discovery of America, when Columbus came forward to make the discovery. The world through the dark ages had been preparing for the coming of a leader In freedom, when Cromwell came forward to bring light and freedom to tyranny trodden England.

Man in history hat had his influence for a time, aud tben another steps in to take his place. The time, tie opportunity mak the man. It was much regretted that Major C. H. Blackburn, of Chicago, could not be present, bat illness prevented him.

SOME EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR. What Our Various Manufacturing Concerns Will Show at the World's Fair. AMILTON would no longer be Ham ilton if it were not present at the World's fair, In all its glory. Hamilton's manufacturing interests, which are so numerous, so large and so varied will be fully.represeuted, some directly and some indirectly.

At the liead of the list stands the famous Niles Tool Works, the products of wbicb are known and used ia every part of the civilized world. This company could not secure the space desired and therefore the exhibit will not be as extensive as it would otherwise have been. The Niles has only 3,100 square feet of space. Into this they will crowd four of their finest and best tools. The first will be a lathe with a sixty-inch swing and a thirty-foot bed.

The second will be a six-foot boring and turning mill. The third will be a horizontal boring and drilling machine. The fourth will be a twelve-foot planer, weighing 150 tons. This will be planers eyer one of the built. The largest exhibit of the Niles, is now in charge of the company's regular Chicago representatives, although during the fair Mr.

Willis C. Hall from this city will have charge of It. The Long Allstatter Co. will have five punch and shearing machines on exhibition. They will be some of tbe very finest ever produced by any shop.

Various representatives from the firm in this city will be present at all times dur'ng the fair. The Hamilton Tile Works while having no exhibit that can really be called an exhibit, still In the Ohio building will be found an abundance of the excellent work done by this firm. Ritchie Dyer will have no exhibit. Hooven, Owens Rentscbler will have no direct exhibit on the grounds, although several of this company's finest Corliss engines have been purchased to finish power required by other exhibitions. The great rush of work at The Making of a tne Present time has prevented the production of an engine that would fully Colonel and Mrs.

C. H. Lyman, of Columbus, has entered upon bis duties as grand secretary succeeding William Chidsey, deceased, of Cincinnati. Mr. Lyman is editor of Bundle of Sticks, one of the leading fraternity papers in the United States.

He is a member of Mineral lodge, No 342, of Pomeroy, and has been a member of the Ohio grand lodge for the past thirteen years. When the Ohio grand lodge meets at Put-in-Bay on May 16, a vexing question will come up for final settlement. Heretofore it has been the choice of the secretary to locate his office. He might live at some interior, remote spot of Ohio, and could make it the headquar- eis for the Odd Fellows in the state. At Put-in-Bay an effort will be made to have a fixed place of residence for the grand secretary.

Cincinnati is hustling to be that place. TEMPLE OF HONOR. Hamilton Social temple, No. 4, held a large and interesting meeting last evening at which one member was initiated. Regular stated meeting of Hamilton temple, No.

John Nellan a pound or two, and Jim Neal Is no feath er weight, but it is with a twinge of onscience I add Edward E.

Even a twenty-four page paper, the Sunday editions of the Cincinnati papers, was a wonder. But this is the day, of cheap cheap in quality but cheap in price.

It very probable that the present cost of a newspaper will never be reduced, but each year will furnish larger papers to the reading public and without materially Impairing the value of newspaper for paper now costs but very little and the labor on the composition is becoming cheaper because of the fact that there has been invented a machine for setting type. Cheap newspapers have come to stay, and the newspaper will not only continue to be the great educator of the people, but will steadily increase its beneficent offices in the advancement of enlightened civilization. much complaint made by the manufacturers of Hamilton about the carelessness with which freight is handled by our railroads.
