Stahtbrodi and Hoff, assisted by the

■gainst their best interests. "The

id alack, for the cowardly instiga-
rs who were afraid of a fair open

of "The Billboard" than for many
□nths. Many more would be found

Hen in every walk of life, no

something for nothing. The railroad

are beseleged by persons who give
reasons unheard of by the uninitiated
why tbey should occupy the best seat

fair managers find bnndre
and nothougbt of relations— In fact,
every man who has anything worth
having or has it in bis power to confer
favors of any kind, is sure to be the
object of unscrupulous men's designs.
This system of complimentary tickets
has become so universal that it Is
looked upon as one of the necessary
evils of higher civilization. If the sys-

can see from the results, or rather,
non-results. The Eiposltion has been
a financial failure, and we trust that

their net. The disbonest aims of these
associations are eventually found out,
and then people wonder how they
could hare lived so long. For the

will say that there Is one thoroughly
