EXPOSITION NOTES. Tv the Fdltor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, Sept. 14,~—Tho Exposition Is in full blast, but {t has been o mild blast thus far. Exhibitors are grumbling at the poor prospect of getting back the coat of exhibiting nnd leay- ing anything lke a falr compensation for thelr labor. The god of rain, from his house amid the clouds, secms to have dropped the reins of government, and let loose the floods of his wrath upon our devoted heads, for it pours upon us who have the misfortune to be mested be- ncath the caves of the rambling old structure, But this strango freak of Nature thus exempll- fied was not what I took up my pen to write aobout. I am fortunate enough to bo one of thoss upon whose heads showers of wisdom continually fall,—never, however, penctrating to the braln, Mystand is floodegl,—not with greenbacks, as I would wish, bat with rain,—strange ns it may sppear. Were it not for the immediate presence of Johnny Hand—more properly speal ‘F' Handy Joln— and his accomplighed artists, 1 think should give up in des 4 but when they pour out the ypatriotic strains of the * Sta pangled Ban- ner ™ 1 forzet the {lls of which I am “a victim, and souv away with them onto the deck of the good boat ** Minden,” where the grand lincs Which formed the groundwork of the picce had birth; or when the rayishing refrain of ““Ilome, Bweet Homo " walls out In~ mournful cadence, mingling with tho deliclous music of the foun- tain, I fimo all senee of regret, and soar amia the clouds in searcli of the poor homeless Wwane derer who composed it, Handy John seems _to be & general favorite with exliibitors as well s citizens, who flock to the music-stand to ndmire his petite figuro and the poea of his delicate honds as lie 80 gracoful- 1y wiclds the baton, Of course none of the lady exhibitors would do sucha thing. Onthe whale, tho exhibition would be void of its principal entertalnment were it not for the resenice of winsome Johnny and Lis pleasant Enml of excellent performers, But this fs not what I started out to say, I presuma I shall bo called to order it I mention the word politics, a8 1 am s woman, ond n woman's ephere 1s merely to attend to house- hold dutles, nurse the babies, go crazy over the fashions, dress in tho Inteat style, and last, but not lcul., gossip,—no matter it some broken heart 18 torn to_ shreds — Deneath her unsparing tongue.

Cnicaco, Sept. 16.—One would think, in Tooking over the ** Letters from the People’ pub- lished In Tin TRinusE since thoe North Bide murder, that that the subtle workings of the Pecople's party were publicly manifest, but not 80, plr. The tale will be incomplete when the remnant of that party which Is fighting for ex- fstence fs politically dead. 1t has been shown by your'correspondents that the members of the Police and Fire Departments and Board of Education not of the Romlsh Church have been removed where it was thought safo to do it, but they have falled to notice—probably think- fog the fact too well-known—that of the mill- {ons of dollars spent In public improvements scarcely a contract has been awarded to persons not belonglng to or voting with the omish party. Thero are numbers of responsible men whose plant and capltal are lnying ldle, waltlug “fi'x the time to come when city contracts Wi o awarded to the lowest ro- sponsible Lidder, I noticed o . commu- nleation in- Tns Trisune _some threo months ago to the effect that Cox Bros., suc. cessful city contractors, who lad become very rich, had sold somo real estate on North Dear- born strect for $5,000 less than thc‘y pald Mr. ‘R, Prindiville for it.

The writer of tho last article having, like all well- regulated reformers, prescribed a remedy which is worthy of notice, and, not unliko some of our modern reformers, lays his plan open to tho critictsm of our most prominent caricaturlst, by beginning to “cut off at the wrung ead,” ho very frankly Informs the public that he is thie advocate of the plan of holding the Bupreme Court of the State in ono place, and making all appeals and writs of error return- able {n 60 days, a cause to be heard upon notice by the uttorno{,on ed In the case, und placed on a calendar by the Clerk of the Court us the parties to the cause snay Indlcate,. which calen~ dar should be made up each day during the 10 months of the Court.
