Along the central avenue or -nave the visitor may see facing each other scores of locomotive engines, highly polished, and rendering the perspective effect of the nave both exceedingly novel and striking.

On the first floor are located, on the left hand, a model hospital; ou the right, a model kindergarten; each occupying S0x60 feet. The whole floor of the south pavilion is devoted to the retrospective exhibit; the one on the north to reform work and charity organization. Each of these floors is 80x200 feet.

The remainder of the architectural composition falls into a just relation of contrast with the highly wrought en trance, and is duly quiet and modest, though very broad in treatment. It consists of a continuous arcade with subordinated colonnade and entabla ture. Numerous minor entrances are from time to time pierced in the walls, and with them are grouped terraces, seats, drinking- fountains and statues mented colonnade, and it may easily be seen that the interior of the trans portation building is one of the most impressive of the exposition.

If the country ever doubted the revo lutionary character of the republican party, all . doubts must now be cast aside when viewing- .the present atti tude of that party in the state of . New York. The temptation was tremen dous, perhaps irresistible,-when by rev olutionary methods they overthrew the will of the people and defrauded the nation of its leg-ally elected president In 1876. That great wrong- never can be condoned. Nor can the people for get how with despotic feet a republican senate trampled upon the rig-hts of a state just born into the union and shut its doors against its legally elected democratic senators. -' Nor will - it for got the wicked revolutionary , methods of a political czar, strengthened and sustained by a republican majority of an American house of representatives who, rough, shod, rode like a squadron of mailed robbers over the. constitu tional rights of a minority and enacted legislation which has enslaved the peo ple and so impoverished the treasury of the country that its authorized mili tary agents have been obliged to sus pend work upon the fortifications "of New York city and discharge two hun dred workmen, with two' months pay due them for labor performed, notwithstanding- the fact that the Harrison ad ministration began its sway with a surplus of hundreds of millions in the treasury. . The same revolutionary spirit now seizes the party in the state of New York. Having stipulated with the democrats that all contests of the legis lature should be finally adjusted by the court of appeals, the highest legal tribunal of the state, and that they would abide forever by aaid decision the court having; iven judgment against them they now seek to over- ride'the court's authority by methods of the most revolutionary character. They have ruled the state so long- by means of a wicked crerrymander they are loth to surrender, and hug- the de lusive hope of preventing- the demo crats from correcting- the evil by block ing- the organization of one branch of the legislature by absenting- them selves from its sessions. ' Having been repudiated by the people by a majori ty of over fifty thousand, and every office of the state taken from them, as well as the control of the legislature, in their desperate straits they resort to the methods of robbers and would put in motion the whirlwind of revolution. First, appealing- to what they agreed was a non-partisan court, asserting their, entire willingness to abide the result whatever it might might be, re lying, they alleged, upon the justice of their cause, they endeavored to hood wink the people into the belief they would rule by the forms of law. Over thrown by this high court of appeal, they return to their natural level of revolutionists and disorganizes. The country may be assured, how ever, that the legally elected and law abiding democratic legislature will or ganize each body in accordance with the forms of law, and in obedience to the will of the majority, and, without resorting to the imperious ways, nor embracing the example and revolu tionary methods of the billion-dollar congress, proceed at once to inaugurate the reforms in legislation so long in de mand. Chicago Herald. A HEAVY BURDEN. Republican Would Like to Be Itld of Some of Their Leaders. There is a very evident desire on the part of certain of the leading papers in the republican party to free the organization from the weight it carries in the shape of objectionable leaders. The Philadelphia Press, for example, has reached the point of protesting with emphasis against the boss rule of Senator Quay, and declares - that it is because of him that Philadelphia gets less than she is entitled to in the distribution of the party spoils. And, not content with this effort to turn down" the great leader of the party in its own state, the Press makes a simi lar attempt in the case of the New York republican boss. Pretending to believe that the democracy of New York has stolen the state it insists that the republicans are largely to blame, and that the party in the state has been brought to its sad condition by division in its ranks and bad leader ship. "One thing after another," it says, 'has been lost until finally they have been ousted from every hold on power in the state," and it adds: "It is pertinent to ask the man or men who have assumed to lead the New York republicans whether the situation does not demand their retirement and the bringing of new leaders to the front." This desire to purge the party would be very commendable if it came at a time when the corrupt leaders were at the height of their power; but unfor tunately it does not. AVhile Piatt had the whole of New York in his grasp, and was using his power for his own benefit and that of his friends and in cidentally for that of the party the Press and the other orsrans had no j word of remonstrance; and it was sub stantially the same in the case of Quay. J The effort to unload these objectiona j b!e and obnoxious leaders because they j have ceased to profit the party by their iniquities, does not argue any growth of political morality. It indicates only partisan selfishness. Detroit Free Press. NOT FAR APART. Tbe Policies of Mills and Sprinjrer Are Al most IdentlcaL Some democrats have been led by the republicans to suppose there may be a wide divergence between the tariff movements contemplated by "Mr. Mills and somewhat by those who supported him for speaker, and the policies of the speaker, Mr. Springer, and their fol lowing. Mr. Bynum, one of the promi nent Mills men, no doubt speaks ad visedly in his recent interview when he says that "the Mills policy will be not to introduce a general bill. - but merely to seek to extend the schedules of revision that may be introduced by the Springer committee. That committee will give most of its attention to free raw material, and Mills will only offer to extend redrction to the manufactured products belonging to free raw ma terial." No damaging division among the democrats can be assumed in that. It mvf.ns rational practical politics. There k no backward movement in it. That is why the republicans do not like it. They would have the democrats frame and stand by a comprehensive neasure, covering all the points they would in clude in a bill if they had control of all the legislative branches. : -That wc uld pnt the democrats on the defensive and compel them to waste heireff orts in sustaining the weakest points, with the republicans" solidly confronting LLbiauAHNQ BY them and furnished material mid by the manufacturing interests affected. It would be a needless embarrassment to the party in the coming campaign to be held responsible for the details of a measure that it had no power to enact. St Paul Globe. WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS. It Supports the Right of tbe Earner tm Bis iK&rolnfs. When American democracy ceases to mean the lowest possible taxation on the people it will be meaningless. Every dollar of tax that goes into the federal treasury from any source what ever is a dollar taken from the earn ings of the productive . labor of the country, and when these taxes are tariff taxes, levied to prevent exchange. they rob the earner of three dollars for every dollar that goes into the treas ury. Opposed to all unnecessary taxation as robbery from the earner, democrats oppose unnecessary tariff taxation most because it robs the earner most. From the very first the democratic party has maintained the sacred ness of the right of the earner to his earnings and has denied the right of government to take from him any part of them not absolutely necessary for economical government. It stands for this prin ciple because it stands for individual liberty; for where government can take away earnings for other purposes than those of keeping the peace and administering justice the people are slaves. A slave is an earner whose earnings are legally taken from him for the benefit of others, and the pur pose of a tariff made high enough to stop trade is to make slaves of the earners of the country. This is its effect as well as its purpose. The fight the democratic party has been making for the lowest possible tariff taxation is a fight for freedom. It is not a fight that can be abandoned. Democrats will never face to the rear on it. Before they would do so they would sacrifice every democrat now holding office, and if t9 get the office 1 again they were oblige"! to abandou this fight they would abandon the of fices instead. They want the offices merely as a means to an end the end of embodying their principles in ths laws and policies of the federal gov ernment. It seems possible that in the imme diate future the democratic party, through internal treachery, will be come more seriously involved than it has been in many years. But under all circumstances its way lies forward, and the way to get forward is to light forward. St. Louis Republic HOW THE PARTY ECONOMIZES. Alethods Adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury. It is announced in an administration organ that the president was greatly displeased to learn the facts regarding the dismissal of workmen from the government employ without payment of their wages due. It is further al leged that Mr. Harrison promptly re buked the officials alleged to have been responsible for this act. But the more recent publication of the monthly treasury report will create suspicion that the president was imitating Mr. Pickwick in his angry denunciation. It is embarrassing for the administration to face the results of its party acts. The vanishing surplus has been the canse of anxious discussion among those friendly to the levy of higher taxes. The secretary of the treasury seems to have accepted the advice of the party organs and attempted the 'shinning" dodge to tide over the pinch. He has at his command 834, 574. 128 as a stated balance. -In this is included as usual the 13,000,000 of subsidiary coin which the secre tary has just notified congress is unavailable, and about 820,000,000 more of totally unavailable ' funds. Considering the monthly demands of the dissipated trust . fund for the redemption of bank notes, there is little cause for wondering at the anxiety of the secretary to prevent the payment of claims until absolute neces sity presses. It is not a pleasant show ing, and is becoming worse every month. Chicago Times. NOTES AND OPINIONS. Victory brings duties not to bo shunned. With, the possession of its own the democracy of New York finds itself face to face with great oppor tunities. Not one should be wasted or neglected; not. one is likely to be. Boston Globe. There is no question that this is not a billion-dollar congress. The democrats will endeavor to bear the reproach of "niggardliness" until the, deficiency of the revenues shall be met and the appropriations are reduced to a reasonable basis. Chicago Globe. Blaine's candidacy is in the hands of the doctors, apparently. He would rather live a private citizen than a dead candidate or president. The- Har rison men wish it were the custom to kill the doctors when a patient dies, so they would take no chances on James G. St. Paul Globe. The nomination of Elkins means that Blaine will not write a letter this year. Harrison has "a cinch" on him that is strong enough to keep him in use until it is too late for the anti-HaiS rison element to unite on any other candidate. Then Blaine will write r letter. St. Louis Republic - Coming into power under such circumstances the democracy has a magnificent opportunity, not only to remedy the wrongs of republican mis rule, but by a wise affirmative policy in the management of state affairs tc make permanent the victory won at the recent election. N. Y. Sun. If President Harrison carries 04 1 his present intention of exerting thj retaliatory powers conferred upon hira by the reciprocity clause of the Mc Kinley law and imposes a duty upon the products of countries which have failed to agree to reciprocity treaties with the United States the people of this country will learn more in three months of the effect of a tariff than all the text books and lecturers could teach them in thirty years. And th knowledge thus gained . will not con tribute to republican strength in 1832. Chicago Times. . Blind worshipers of magneti) statesmanship have their ears glued, t the ground and republican organs are ringing; forth double-leaded appeals.

The announcement of his death caused far less commotion in the city than was expected, but this was no doubt due to the fact that nearly every body had given up hope Wednesday. The bells in Westminister abbey were tolled from 12 o'clock until 1.

Sallennew A raons the Indians That is Not IteasRnring;. Pine Ritge Agencv, S. Dl, Jan. 15. Everything is quiet here so far as ap- pearance goes, but there is no denying the fact that there is a general dissatis- faction among the Indians vvho, as a rule, spent all their money last summer and fall in making ghost shirts and ar rows. There has not been a great deal of danger until the recent cold weather. The Indians claim to be dancing the "Omaha," but those who have the best opportunity of knowing say that the '. dance is a mixture of. the Omaha and j ehost dance, retaining all the prin- J cipal features of the latter. A I lot of the Indians ' left here last ; fall . to visit the place where the j a-.mu maw ix appearance, ana have but recently returned, but all he efforts of interpreters have failed to eiicn aujv xjiiuruiiiiiuii iium laem con cerning their trip. No one anticipates any immediate trouble, but there is a sullenness among those that partici- pated in the hosti.ities last year that is by no means reassuring. They are jealous of anything being said or writ ten about tbeir movements, and but re cently threatened to boycott a trader who had told some one they were bay ing so moch white cloth f r the pur pose of making ghost shirts that it was hard to keep it in stock. In the annul-. ties issued this year there have been ni j blankets, boots or shoes, owing, it is believed, condemned. to the b'ankets being Bat to the Indian's way of thinking it is another breach of faith, and now comes the land decision of Attorney-General Shields, which does not suit the Skus.

The second section of a Northern Pacific passenger train with the Andrews Opera company on board left West Su perior at midnight for Grand Forks. Near Jonesville the train struck a broken rail. The engine and baggage car pasaed over in safety, but the sleep ing car of the opera company was de railed and ran some 300 feet oa the ties, when it toppled over, broke loose from the train and went down an embank ment some five feet high. The Pullman conductor, Herbert S. Scott, was one of the first to get out of the wrecked car and when he did so no fire was visible, but as soon as windows were broken to liberate those inside flames shot out and in a very short time the car was enveloped. Trainmen soon liberated those who were unable to ex tricate themselres, but none were able to save their clothes, and the night be ing the coldest of th season the ther mometer reaching- 30 below their suf fering was terrible. At this time it was discovered that Mrs. Ed Andrews and Tiliie Wallace, her maid, were missing, but no human effort could render them assistance, as the car was a mass of flames. Tbe in jured were placed in a "baggage car an& brought to Brainerd. The list of the dead and injured as far as obtained is as follows: Mrs. Ed Andrews (known as Miss Dannie Wilkinson), burned to death. Tillie Wallace, of Minneapolis, barned to death. Florence Joy, chorus girl, severely burned on back and head, probably fatally. May Douglass, chorus girl, burned on head and arms. Letitia Fritsch, prima donna, burned on head and arms. Mrs. L. F.

The train was running smoothly and not faster than twenty-fire miles an hour, when there came a terrific lurch which suggested at first to tbe train hands that the engine ha 1 plunged through a culvert.
