Fubltahed every Friday at the office of The Courier, on Broad Street. THE CITY'S NEED. If there is one thing the city needt as much or more than hotel it ia a park, and while park ia generally considered aummer inatitution, yet we ahould remember that our early aummer ia probably not more than four months away, just time enough to prepare for it. The name park usually calls to mind a combina tion garden and menagerie with some beautiful plants and flowors and a few deoreped, unsightly wild animals. Suppose that in place of the wild animala we should have an exhibit of works of art and skill, pictures, embroi dery, objects of mechanical skill, eto. Of course the smaller pel animals and rare and beautiful birds would be acceptable and in teresting. Such a place would not only be interesting but would tend to encourage and stimulate the artistio talents of the people. Curios and relics might be added and as one object would be re. moved to make room for another quite often there would be a con tinuous change and variety. X. After all, the administration cannot be waging a very severe war in the Philippines, or else, where, for the official reports show that during the year ending June 30, but three officers and twenty-seven privates in the regu lar army were killed. This ia not bad when we recollect that some 70,000 men are now enlisted under the flag. During the same period of time three officers and thirty- five prevates committed suioide, and forty-six privates w,re drowned, jilereatter the soldiers variola posts will b»(taught vim. Here is to the National Democ racy of the United States of Amerioa; now the greatest har monizing party known to history. In one feeble effort, unwittingly and perhaps unwillingly, you came very near harmonizing the entire nation on Republicanism One more effort of the kind will finish the job. Brethren, harmo' ny is a good thing. In your next effort please make it national. But for God’s sake give a little variation in the harmony. Will you? Now it is all over, the result ia known, it ia very amusing to read in the Guardian, of Manchester, England, a dispatch fromNew York, as follows, sent to that paper just before the elec ion: “There is a visible shaking the previous Republican confidence. Their affectation of certainty all along has been overdone. No Presidential election was ever so one sided as they pretended this one was to prove.” The Republicans of Missouri are rejoioing over the prospeot of electing a Senator from that state. It is about thirty years since Sen stor Cockrell took bis seat in the Senate, and it looks now as if his time had come to gracefully re tire, and rest upon bis laurels. Fnly one other Senator hat served longer, Allison of Iowa. But be it said to the credit of Roosevelt be has offered Senator Cockrell a job if he wants it. Under Governor F W. Higgins of New York, the work of improv ing the Erie. Oswego and Cham, plain canals, will begin at a cost of 1101,000,000. This great enter prise will give employment to thousands of men, besides provid' iug for the future vast transpor tatiou business of the Emoire state. “Two years from now,” say the Republicans of North Carolina, "we will take our state out of the solid South column.” At the last election they reduced the Demo cratic majority somo 85,000. If this operation is repeated the Old North State will again come into the Union. Gov. Odell of New York recently said: “I am looking for rest and Bimply want to become a private oitizen.” If these are honest sentiments he has no intention of ousting Senator Chauncey M. Depew. The voter “who Scratches" is hflreafter to h« reckoned wO^b, at least on Uassachusetts, Minneso ta, Wisconsin, Missouri, Colorado and Montana. Mr. Thomas Taggart, of Indiana says there is no explaining a cyclone. He should read up on weather bureau literature. Grover Cleveland is very phi losophical under the circumstan ces. He has nothing to say. After the election he took bis gun, and with his dog, plunged into the woods near Princeton, hunting for small game. Mr. Taggart has hied himself back to his ungrate ful Indiana. Chairman Cowherd, after the fourth of next March, will attend to business in Mis souri. A real lively election is a serious business for some people; it is much like a ten strike in a bowling alley. Now is the time to do your fall advertising, place an ad in The Courier.
