the center of bustle and life ofthe city The leading streets of

the city center in this square andis surrounded by some of the

most important buildings Herethegreat cathedralof Milan stands

the center of the square standsmonument of Victor Emanue

by the sculptor Ercole Rosadied before this his last work

was completed It is the finestmonument in Milan The cathe-

dral is one of the greatest andmost wonderful work of art Itwas begun in 1386 It is dedicat-ed to the nativity of the blessedVirgin Mary Its shape is that of

the Latin cross 148 meters inlength and 88 in width 108 me

high The material in thismagnificent building cost it is

said 100000000 besides the laborputting itup It is nearly 600

feet long on the outside and 250

feet wide The central spire is860 feet high and from its pinna

you see 2000 smaller pinnacleseach one haying a statue of marble on its summit We clitned to

the summit of the central spireand had a splendid view of thecity and surrounding country It

the third largest church in aU

EuropeInMaria Delle Grarie which

was originally an Abbey churchseen the last supper frescoes

on the rear of the church by Le

onardo da Vince in tho 15th centuryand is very interesting inspite of its ruinous condition

Milan the capital of Lumbardone of the largest and wealthiest

cities of Italy It is now a greamanufacturing center with about800000 inhabitants It is thecenter for music and is the larg

est market place for silk and cot

ton in Italy After spending five

hours very pleasantly in Milan

we left for Como and spent thenight in that beautiful city OD

Lake Como It is an old town

but comparatively new in the de

velopment of industries It has alarge silk manufactory and splen-

did trade in silks It is surround-ed by hills adorned with manrich villas where invalids andpleasure seekers spend summersIt has about 25000 inhabitants

We left Como for Lucern on themorning of June the 1st at 840by train Our railway led U8

through the Alps by the St Gathard pass We soon felt a change

in the climate and had to put OD

our overcoats to keep warm

Many of these mountain pealare snow caped and in some placethe railway rises near them Thoris some beautiful and picturesquEscenery on this road as much al

almost any we have been priviledjed to see Just below the ano

the mountain aides are coverewith grass and forest and ever-

greens then the beautiful valle

that grows narrower as you ap-

proach the great tunnel is carpet-ed with grasses and some parts 1cultivation Cedars and pine cov-

er tho mountain side and manbeautiful waterfalls aro seen uloi

rangement and the variety andgreatness of the show The loca¬

tion of the grounds is unfavora-ble

¬

for a great exposition Thegrand enterance IS at Concord andextends down the river Seine and by

at the enterance there is a wing oneach side the river connected by anda bridge and then on one sidethere is a narrow pass threequart ¬

ers of a mile before you come toanything interesting The nation-al

¬

buildings are all crowded in on itthe other side between the twomain wings Then there is noth ¬ be-

ing new on exhibition all been its

seen at other places The greatten

wheel is here but it is not attract-ing

¬

much attention for it is not thenew any more and then it is out ¬

side the exposition grounds The for

moving sidewalk is attractingmore attention than most any oth ¬

er part of the exposition groundsTho people flock to it by thethousands for a ride YOU canride as long as you please for onehalf franc but you dont pleaseto ride long for you have to standall the time There are no seatson it You can take a slow ridemor fast as you please One runsabout three times faster than theother The Eiffel Tower which is

THE LINES ARE DRAWN all

The result obtained at Lexington is as

honest and as unequivocal an express-

ion

¬

of the will of the people as could beexpected or desired

It will carry with it all the weight it one

deserves aSa free and genuine expres-

sionforIt ought and we think it will

reunite the party The issue betweenthe two parties in the nation is much derthe same as it was before the Interpo-sition of internecine faction and doc-

trinal

simple choice between the responsi ¬

elements of conservative ordelyand intelligent society and the combine

money and murder which gets itsorders from Washington and expects

forceGov notBeckham has shown himself a

prudent and courageous man He has derdone his duty during an ordeal thatmight have tried the wisdom of an old

der man His nomination is the popu¬

recognition of this The people

say in effect We refuse to swap

horses crossing a stream They givethe youth of the young Governor thebenefit of the doubt knowing fullsurely that time will cure it He hasalready grown out of it enough to havearisen to the full exigency of the situ ¬

ation and he will as time passes showconclusively that he is a worthy scion

an illustrious race of Kentuckiansequal as his fathers were before him

each emergency as it arises inThe Republicans of Kentucky dare

not go to the people upon there own sixrecord Hence it is that they wouldforce the democrats to meet them up ¬

the single issue upon which theysuppose the democrats to be dividedThat is the Election Law They willfind themselves mistaken There isnot a Democrat in Kentucky worthyof the name who wants any electionlaw that is not strictly nonpartisanand fair There is not a man whosejudgment is entitled to weight whodoes not know that with such a law athe Democray led by Beckham willsweep the State The Republicanswill not be premitted to put the Elec ¬

tion Law between themselves and thefires of damnation They will not bepremitted to use the Election Lawalternately as a wedge to divide Dem ¬

ocrats and a screen to protect themSelves When Governor Beckham hascalled the Democratic Legislature together in extraordinary sessionwhenits democratic members have reconven-ed

then be They will be stripped of thewretched subterfuge of seeking the re¬

form of the lawfor their sole hope isof keeping it unchanged upon thebooksand they will be turned loosenaked to face the awful indictmentagainst them the operations of Brad¬

hind the Goebel law using it beforetheelection as a club to beat the Dem ¬dicettiou as a tto throw the vote of the State outthe Electoral College to refuse admi-

let us close ranks and go to work likemen and brothers like Kentuckiansand like Democrats to redeem thehonor of the State by placing permanentely at Frankfort a representativeand a responsible Chief Magistrate
