From Venice to Paris
Editor of the News
We left Venice at 230 a mMay 81st for Como via Milan
Arrived at Milan at 2 oclock p
and spentI
five hours seeing
the of that We wentonce toCathedral Square which
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

est tunnels on this road throug
the Alps in the world We too

day¬
we went to Consuls for ourletters and to expositions i and arenow as we have spent ten days inParis and six of them in the exposition we are prepared to pass isjudgment on it And first of all redwillsay we were disappointed inthe exposition as regards the ar¬
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
was built for the exposition in ic
1889 is still here and is one of thegreat attractions It is like aspire in the middle of Champ deMars and is constructed entirelyof iron and rises to a height of984 feet the highest tower in theI
ofPlatforms divide it into14threelifts or what we call in Americaelevators or you can walk toythe second if wishbbut few undertake itdParis itself is a great show andhas every claim to be considereda model city The houses arebuilt with great taste and the in-
numerable¬
streets which cross eachother in all direotions are broadand airy and well lighted Busi¬
ness and pleasure are harmonious ¬
ly combined in Paris It hashas some of the finest streets inthe world Champ Elysus is considered the finest street in Paris

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
lyvorquibling But in the State it
simple choice between the responsi ¬
elements of conservative ordelyand intelligent society and the combine
money and murder which gets itsorders from Washington and expects
win ifitwin at all by fraud and
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
¬
at Frankfort with the tragedy oflast winter engraved on mind andheart wlththe obligations of right and a
duty before conscience and honor andwith the voice of the good peole of theState ringing in their earsthey will
without any other let or hindranceexcept that of the Republicans whowill thus show themselves in their truecolors imprint upon the Election Lawsuch modifications and amendments-as experience has shown to be neces-sary and they will make it so just andso nonpartisan as that no rightthink ¬
ing man can gainsay itAnd where will the Republicans
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¬
ley and his partisan militia before thelast election the operations of theRailwayPolitical Combine during andimmediately succeeding the electionthe Reign of Terror precipitated uponthe State Capital by the descent of themountain feudists the murder ofGoebel the dispersal of the Legisla-
ture¬
by the edict of the Republicanclaimant and by armed violence andthe long line of usurpations and outr-
ages perpetrated by Taylor from thefiring of the shot that struck the Dem-
ocratic¬
claimant down to the hour ofthis own disgraceful flight from
State a selfconfessed criminal and acowardly fugitive from justice Theseare the issuesthe real issues of thecampaign before us and not the Goc
bellaw The Republicans will haveto meet them We repeat that theywill have to meet themto meet themin the open field for they cannot andthey will not bo permitted to skulk be-
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-
Sian of the Democratic members ofKentuckys delegation to Congress
and it may benn case McKinleyelectedto
g
make of the Statement of Kentucky itself a case ofseal Intervention ruinous both topolitical and our material interests
FellowDemocrats of Kentucky thisIs the situation which wehave to meetLet us meet it as honest and as bravemen Lotus have done with smallpolitics Thatls the only kind of politics that Democrats have to fear Un-
doubtedly¬
the Lexington Conventionwas a representative body It has giv ¬
en us a noble yeung Kentuckian as ourchief It has given us a platform that
oJ
Democrats can stand upon ow-
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
who does not take his cue from aring of Federal officeholders nor look
his election to organized corrup-tion and brutality one who is not theWIaccredited agent of money and mur ¬
but one who will administer thelaws justly serve the public faithful ¬
