Tub Urgent state house in the United States was thrown open and dedicated with proper ceremonies Saturday. For many years work has been progressing upon this building, and it belong-i to the State of Texas. Thk rebellion cost the country $900, 000.000, and the men who were rcsponsi Me for it are claiming more privileges and seem to h ive more to say in regard to the management of the government than those through wliose efforts the re bellion was suppressed. Picket Guard. It is unquestionably true, as suggest ed by Hon. John R. Lynch, the distin guished colrcd lender, that "if it is possi ble for the Republicans to carry New York nt all they can carry it with Gresh- um;" and a man who can beat Cleveland in New York hns claims upon the Chi cago conventiau which entitle him to profound consideration at its hands. Globe Democrat. Neaiii.y four years have passed since the democratic press and orators said if the people would put the demccratic party in power they would reduce the surplus. They have now been in power three years and have not kept a single promise; hu? have piled up the money in the vaults faster than ever, so that it begins to look now if something was not done soon, the country will have a finan cial crisis, that will take year9 to recover from. The scare to the effect that the Chicago Auditorium would urt be ready for the republican convention seems to be with out foundation. It is promised that the building shall he completed in good time. The claim is made that the building will be the finest convention hall in the count ry. A special feature will be the arrange ment of the galleries, so that the most distant seat will be only 170 feet from the ro-trum. whereas in the old Exposition Building some of the seats were 350 feet from the speaker's stand. The arrange ments for seating, tic kets, etc., arc unus ually good and promise a well-managed convention. The preachers of Springfield, 111., are in nrms and re doing a good work, they have had all the gamblers urreMcd. Tin following is a telegram from Springfield which shows that the ministers have caught their game: "All the leading ministers of the city, and a large number of ladies representing the Woman's Christian Temperance Union were pres ent. When the time for calling the cases arrived none of the defendants appeared and they were fined upon their bonds. Before the delegation of ministers and Vidies had left the room, however, Tom Brewer, a leading gambler, entered the court room in an excited condition and demanded in a loud voice to know what all the cranks wanted, referring to the ministers antl ladies present. Not wait ing for nn ap.swer, he turned fiercely up on Rev. R. G. Ilobbs, threatening to do him bodily harm if he refused to leave. After the trial the ministers held a con ference and it was decided to hold a public indignation meeting uct. Mon day." ELECTION FRAUDS. The declaration of the Ohio Republi cans in favor of fair and honest elections throughout the whole country tiuches an issue of supreme importance. It is unquestionably true, as they assert, that ! the Democratic party now holds the Presidency and one branch of Congress through a systematic suppression of votes in the Southern States. The fact is no longer denied, but openly and innocently pioclaimed by Southern papers and poli ticians that the colored vote has been practically removed by fraud and vio lence, and that they do not propose to let it have any influence in their affairs. The Democratic pnrty as a party indorses and profits by tin nullification of law antl justice, and has done so for many years. But the story of wrong and crime does not stop there. It is not in the South alone that illegal methods arc em ployed to achieve Democratic success. A .-iniilar pojicy prevails to an alarming extent in the North. In not a single one of the large cities where the Demociats have control does a perfectly honest elec- tion evtr t'ke llacc- Some of the frauds that have been discovered in that relation aro quite equal to any tLac have been perpetrated in tho South; and in every instance the guilty parties the jruilty parties have been kind has been accomplished by Republi can votes antl influences. The Democrat ic record is one of persistent opposition to the idea of preventing corruption and securing to all classes of citiens the right to cast an honest vote and to have it fairly counted. lit Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, n,i ti. ctnft., tr, ri1,irt, i,0 jlon ,, , . i , ,, called upon to deal w ith cases of forgery I and perjury fallowing a deliberate purpose ion the part of democratic election oflieers to defeat the popular will and make a mockery of the law.. Thie is one of the grave dangers to our institutions, and one that nil good citizens should be nox ious to remove. It ia idle to talk of the strength and glory of government by the people, of the people and for the people without an assurance of integrity and im partiality in the processes that govern our elec tions. As the Ohio republicans insist, "Free ond uDtmmtnoled suffrage lies at the foundation of the republic." That is the basis and defense of all our political rights and privileges. nen uie source of popular power is corrupted, we are at the mercy of the worst elements of society; antl that is precisely what the democratic, party most relies upon to maintain its e upremacy and promote its general interests The people should not fail to give careful attention to this feature of the situation. It is even more imnrrtant in its way than the tariff or 1 " any other current question; and the re publican party is bound in duty nnel honor to make it a prominent issue in the coming national campaign.

The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of tin throat and lungs than any other.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE. TWO HUNDRED UTE DURING TICKETS PER MIN- RUSH A Steady Stream of Khop OirN, Working womwi niul JMeii, Iornl iij ni-il I'venln ;. Patron of tlio I'outpalH Startling itii tltl Cunt uiul I'ruUtx. The day on the bridge- begins early. At f o'clock in the morning the cars begin to run under a minute and a, half headway. The crowds pour in tind what is known as j the rilsh hours" begin. These are hours j of hard work for every one, from the ; t "L.fS engines that run tho three car trains from tho station out to the point where the cable connects with the grip rush back ward and forward, puffing and snorting .ind making a tremendous amount of noise. This is nt 7:30 on the Brooklyn side. Alout 75,000 New York business men and workmen, who use Brooklyn as a bed room, are getting ready to launch them selves into New York. At 7:15 the stream is nt high tide. At two glass covered boxes within tho spot where three men are laboring with frantic energy to give out tickets and make change, two stal wart men stand to see that every passen ger deposits a ticket. These men need to be alert and quick eyed, for 200 persons per minute are passing by these two glass ticket boxes. It may seem easy work to wntch 12,000 tiekets per hour dropped in to a jrhiss box, but the guards say it has the eircct of giving one the vertigo. From 7 o'clock until 8:30 the stream of humbly clad shop girls and working women and men is kept steadily up, and some twenty odd thousand passengers are carried over tho river. Three cars start each minute anil a half, but in the sec onds that they are at a standstill each of the cars is amply packed with ten tons of humanity. This rush is kept up until 9:30 o'clock, after which there is a lull, the number of passengers passing the ticket offices falling gradually from 12,000 to G.000 per hour. Approaching noon it is even less on the Brooklyn side, but after this hour on the New York side tho thousands that thronged to New York are hurrying back again, and after 4 o'clock Brooklyn begins to regain its population at the rate of from 200 to 3C0 per minute. PATGOXS OF TTIE FOOTWAY. Of course these figures deal simply with the railway. The footpath is less patron ized now than formerly. There were 3.ii.C01 less persons who used it last year than the year before, despite the fact that any one who wishes to buy tickets by the bunch may walk over the bridge and get the finest views imaginable for the not astounding sum of one-lifeh of a cent. The footway is popular only on very mild days, when it is the resort favored of good looking nurses with distracting French caps, who wheel baby carriages and ad mire the big policemen. The receipts of the footway last year amounted to some thing over $10,000, which w ould scarcely pay its expenses, and it has been proposed to make it. free. Thi3 will scarcely be done, for making it free would be throw ing it open to tramps or worse charac ters, and making an increase of police necessary. The bridgo railroad last j-car carried 27.940,313 persons, an increase of 3,911, 040 over the year before, and the receipts iu money from it were $708,703.79. The fare is three cents per passage or ten tickets for twenty-live cents. The general average of passengers upon the bridge road is about 90,000 per day, but upon foggy days, when the ferries are ob Mructcd, the figures sometimes reach 1C.), 000. In other words enough people pass over the Brooklyn bridge every day in the cars to populate three or four towns out we&t, elect a few congressmen, build several railroads, get up corners in whea'i and pork and bring out a presidential car- clidate. SOME MORE STATISTICS. But there are some more statistics with which not one person in a hundred even of those who cross the bridge daily are ac quainted and familiar. One million forty seven thousand nine hundred and sixty eight vehicles crossed the bridge during last year. Each vehicle is estimated to carry three passengers. Thi3 estimate is taken by reason of the number of funerals that daily pass on their way to Green wood, the great "City of the ISead." Tho receipts from vehicles were ? 05,743.20. The total receipts were 850,724.23. It may be interesting to know, too, that the cars during the last year njnde 2,171,4S4 single trips and traveled 2,442,170 miles. In other words, had the tracks of the bridge continued right around the world the bridge cars would have girded the world pretty nearly 100 times. The bridge cost 15,000,000. It is worth it, but it has not yet paid it back. Its sources of revenue are various. The stone arches under its approaches have been walled up and are rented as ware houses. It charges the telephone and telegraph companies for laying wires on the bridge. The total income for the bridge from nil sources for the year was $938,281.21, and the net profits were 323,8G4.5G. It has been necessary to lay out most of this sum, however, in rolling stock and in pay ments for real estate. Exactly 2,070,000 lives of humanity were conveyed across the East river in 1887 without a single life being lost. That is true enough to be startling, and startling enough to be untrne. However, it is true! When you consider that for a part of the day trains are running but a minute and a half apart, and carrying 12,000 passengers per hour, antl that even at the dullest part of the day they are but a couple of min utes apart, this record is simply amaz ing.

His physi cian, Dr. von Lauer, had expressly warned him against attempting to leave his bea without assistance; but In order to spare liis personal .attendants, who. were in an adjoining room, the emperor ventured to tlisregard the iujunotion. He got out of beil safely, but when he was endeavoring to return his strength failed him and he fell to the floor. He was unable to raisa himself, and ere his attendants entered the room he had contracted a severe chill.
