on the Palatine Hill by Uoiniilus, more
than two thousand six hundred years ago.
on through Iho reigns of the klncs. the

of the city.it presents a history without n
parallel among the nations. The Uomn of
to day has a population of nhout 300,000
and occupies only about one halt (the north
ern poillon) of tho spare enclose by the
Aurelian walls. As tho capital of united
Italy however, it is a prosperous city and
promises good thins? for the future. The
river Tiber, a muddy, sluggish stream,
winds through Ihe city in as utherlv di
reetion, dividing it in two unequal pirls.
by far tho larger portion, including the
Palatine, the Capitoline, Iho E-qiitline. tin1
Coellan, tho Aventlne and tho Qiilrinal
liU's-lieing on Iho esftern side, with the
palace of the Vnllcnn, SI, Peters, tha castle
of Si. AuR'Io nnd the Jnnleuliini hill on
the western bank. Tlie principal street of
modern Home is the Oorno, which extends
from the Turin del Pupnln on Ihe north, In
a southerly direction through the heart of
the oily to the foot of the Capitolino Hill.
It Is a well built street, lined with (hops,
hotels, etc , nnd on line ofternoons is cay
wilh its exhibition of modern Itomau life
and fashion,
Tho great central point ofirlerest in the
city is Iho Itoinan Forum, located between
the Capitnlinn Hill on tlio ninth nnd the
Palatine Hill on the south and nearly In
the renter nf Ihe ancient cilv. Its build
ings were deslrnyed hv Oulscard in the
eleventh century and for four hundred
years it less a waste and a receptaclo for
tho rubbish of the city, until Ihe entire
spsro was filled to Iho depth of 21 feet and
all knowledge of Ihe loc-itlon und names oi
the ancient buildings was lost. Sineo Ihe
fifteenth century hnwover,exca vol Ions have
been carried on at intervals, until Hie en
lire Fern in ns well as many nf the adjoin
ing buildings lnvo been uncovered. This
little parallelogram, los than s thousand
feet in length and nhout four hundml feet
wide possesses more of interest Hum any
similar spot in Europe. At Ihe northwest
crn end whereon the slope nf the Capitol
ine Hill now elands the palace of the Ben
alnr, Ihe Tabularium or Hall of Uecnrds
was formerly located. In front rise three
while marble columns, marking the site of
the temple of Vcepsslan. A little fanher
on, lo tbo right, right granite columns
etaudiug on a laee rixtecn feel high nre all
lhat remain nf Iho magnificent temple of
Saturn, built lung before the Christian era
On tho left is the massive arch nf Septiin
lus Scveruj, its fine proportion and Impos
ing stolidity almost frowning on the ruin
aruuml. Between the arch and tho Tabu
larium ttiinl the Temple of Conrord and
Senaloiial Hall, where Cicero convened the
Senate and with hiaterribto thiirmo de
nounced Ihe conspiracy oi Cstaline. Fur
ther on the foundations of iho Basilica
Julia nre seen, wilh Ihe column of Phneeit
in frout, tbo "nsinelew column with a
buried base." mentioned by Byron, Be
yond the basilica, three marble oolmuns of
the temple ol Castor and Pollux are still
standing and directly opposite are tberulis
of the temple id Julius Orawr Deified, built
upun the spat where Antony delivered bis
j momofgbu uruteu ami where fir' Uaiy
w turned. Al rtiflerent itil through
tnf fmm the ivment ol the Via Sacra,
which dccenileil from tbe Capitoline Hill
and J'SueJ pn beneath tbe arch ulTitm
t ) tho southern gate ot the oily, still re
main. Over Iho masslvo blocks of lava
which form this 1 'Sacred Way," have
thundered tho chariots uf the tinman gen
erals as their legions poured forth hi con
quer the world. Iteturning, along this
route inarched Iho victors lu triumph,
leading their captives in chains Blnl bear
ing tho rich spoils nf their Vanquished foes.
All aroiind nre ruihed temples and palaces,
tho relics uf tha ancient glories of this
mighty city. Blandlng hy tho side of the
excavation ami looking out over the shat
tered fragments of tho past, it seems tha
opened grave of a buried nation.
Tho Palatine Hill which sdjotns the
Forum on the south, was from the earliest
history of the city, the homo of the aristoc
racy. Hero tho Orncchl, Marlus, Cicero,
Marc Antony and many others had their
resiliences and beto wero tho palaces of
Augustus, Tiberius, Callguln, Nero, Ves
pasian aud Septimius Sevtrus. In the
laler yesrs of tho empire, the entire hilt
became covered with the palaces of the
Ceoars, and the ruins, wnlch have been
uncovered within the past lirty years, glvo
unmistakable evidence of the magnificence
of tho original structure. A short dlsinuce
southeast of tho forum, Ihe arch of Titus
spans tho Vis Sacra, hearing mi its Inside
walls, Ihe famous "has reliefs" representing
Titus in a triumphal procession Willi the
Jewish captives bearing tho rich epillsof
the temple at Jerusalem, among which
may still bn seen the golden candlesticks,
tho silver trumpets and (he golden table.
A little farther on tha rise tho majestic
ruins nf Ihe Coliseum. This wonderful
structure, built by Vespasian nnd Titus
early iu the Christian era was the largest
IjullilniK of its kind ever erected ar.d would
accommodate nearly one hundred thousand
spectators. The seats rose in receding tiers,'
sons to nll'ord all a goad view of the vast
areas, In which men as well as beasts were
"bull Imred to make a Homaii holiday."
Tho bight of tho massive oblong pile was
nearly 200 feet; nnd although It was for
years used cs a quariy, several of the com
paratively modern palaces of Home being
built of material obtained here, it is still
by far tho most imposing ruin of the city.
Its solidity gave rise to tho familiar say
ing: "While stands tho Coliseum Homo shall
stand :
V hen Tails Iho Onllscnm Koino shall fall ;
And when ltoino falls tho world."
The Capitoline lllll, at the northern end
of tho Forum and st the southern end of
the Corso, is reached Irom thn norlh by a
lone flight of steps ascending from the small
piazia of Arn Cmli. The slope next the
Fnruni is occupied hy tho Palace oT the
Senator. On tlie right, where the Temple
nfJupilor formerly clone, !s the Palaceof
the Conservators, containing a valuable col
lection of pictiues and anliquep, bronzy
among tho latter what is supposed hi bo
tho Capitolino Wolf mentioned by Cicero
Just beyond this platans is the famous
Tnrpeaii flock. Opposite the P.il.ico of the
Coiisrvatiirs,and hieing It, is the Capiloline
Museuni.containiuE an extensive collection
of sculptures.! ncliiding Hie Dying Gladiator,
the Faun ol Praxiteles, which was the sub
ject of tlawlhorne's "Marhlo Faun," tho
Venus of the Capitol and many other cele
brated works. Theopen space between the
Musuem nnd the P.ilace,contains the family
o-piestraln statue ol Marcos Aurelius, while
on either 6ide of tha grand ataircaso nro the
stalues of Castor and Pollux.
Aiming the churches of Rome, St. Peter's
of course holds the first place. It stands on
on the west sido of Hie Tiber, a short ills
lance from tho castle ol St. Angelo, and on
the silo of Ihe circus of Nero where many
Christians wore martyred and where St,
Peter is said to hayo been b'lried after his
crucifixion. Tha present building was
commenced in in 1500 hy Popo Julius II
hut was not dedicated until more than a
century later. The expense of tho work
was so great (Ihe cost ol tho main building
alone being esllinaled nt fifty millmnsol
dollars) that the Popes resorted to the solo
of indulgences to raise fund'; thus prcoipi
tatlng at least the opposition which led (o
Keformntion. The approach lo St Teter'a is
through a large open spaco with a vast
semi circular quadruple e-olonnsdeonelther
sido containing hundreds ofmas'ive pillars.
In the centre, surrounded by fountains, is
Iho obelisk brought from Heliopnlia to
UoiiiB hy the Kmperor C.diRiihi. It is Ihe
only obelisk iu Rome which has never been
overthrown. Tho building itself is more
than 000 leet in length and about 400 fret
In width at tho transept. The greatgihlcd
arch of the nave is supported hy double
pillars on each side and rises 150 leet above
the pavement. The dmne, 1-10 leet in di
ameter and 350 feel high on tho inside, is
supported by four massiv'o piers in which
are niches rnntallilug statues 10 leet high.'
Beneath the dome is the reputed tomb ol
St. Peter, covered hy a brouzo caimpv SI5
ftet in bight, supported hy four twisted
bronze coluinns.tlie whole weighing 5S tons.
All around aro numerous chapels and
tombs with many sepulchral monu.iienls
and memorable tablets. From the summit
of Ihe dome a fine view of the city can ho
obtained and those who wish can ascend to
the ball at the font of the cross, which rises
-150 leet ubove the pavement below. In
spite of its immense size there is an appar
ent lack of magnitude in St. IVter'- which
can only ho accounted lor by the fact that
its surroundings and lis entire plan nre on
so gland a scalo that one's standards of
measurement are of unusual proportions.
And sonio writer saes, "The angels In ihe
Baptiftery aro enormous giants; the doves
colossal birds of prev." Some idea of the
yaslness nf St. Peter's may be obtained
from the lact thai its ground plan is iHoo
as largo as Hist ol St. Paul's in London,
while its i-ubio contents are threo times as
great as iho latter edifice.
Adjoining St. Peter's on tbe norlh is the
Vatican Palace, which lor centuries has
been the residence of tbe Pouts. It is an
immense pile nf bulldlngs,conlaiiiing twen
ty courts and over 11,1100 rooms, halls and
chapels. Within its walls aro the Sistino
Chapel, containing tho world renowned
(rescues of Michael Angelo J the Status and
Li'gsie of Haphml ; Iho Picture Gallery and
the Gallery of Sculptures, comprising ono
of the most extensive and valuable art col
lections iu the world.
The only building nf ancient Home not
now in ruins is the Pantheon, a circular
structure boated between tbo Corso and the
Tiber. It wss built by Agrippi, 27 years
befme Christ, and was ciiteeiruted as a
rbrielien church iurly in the teyeiith cen-
tuly. It is lighted onlv Irom a circular
ojiening in the dome, which is iho largest
hi Ihe world, being 1-33 feet in diammrr.
Within Ihe chapels are the tombs uf ninny
famous ortUls.n well as that ol Victor
' Kmauusl, tho late king of Italy,
Next in intsrest Ui St. Peter's and taking
prteedonee of it lu eeeleiiastbul rank is the
' Church of St. John Latrran, located In the
suiftliMstern part of tbe city, near Iba walls
I Thi, la ft... nknrnh l.fth. P.., .a U!ih.n, .,r
Home and here his corooatiein tslat plaeo.
For a thousand years previous to the oc
cupation of Ibo Vatican the palace adlolu
ing this church was tbe roideoca of the
Popes. Nesr by In a smsll building is the
Boa I a Santa, a flight nf 23 marble steps,
said lo be those occnded by Christ when
entering the Judgment Hall, in Jerusalem,
They nre enclosed nud tin one is permitted
to pass up but on their knees. At Iho time
of our ylsit several devotees wero tolling
wearily up the ascent. It was midway up
these stairs lust Luther, recalling tho
words, "the just shall live by faith," sud
denly rose to his feet and descended.
South ol tba city, about a Inile beyond
tho walls is the church of St. Paul, built on
tlie traditionary burial placo nf the great
apostle to Hie gentiles. Tin extorlor is ex
ceedingly plain, but nothing can surpass
the magnificence and richness nf Iho Inter
ior. On cccli side of the nave is n double
row of columns of great beauty and the en
tire Interior is decorated with line marbles
and mosaics. Tho canopy over the high
altar is supported by columns of Oriental
alabaster with pedestals of mslscblto, and
the same only ornamentation abounds
throughout the lull-ling.
The catacmbs of Kuneare among the
most interesting leatures of that wondorlul
city. They nro not as Is usually supposed
directly under the city, but aro scattered
without the Walls on all s! les, These vast
subterranean charnel houses were original
ly quarries hut In later years were used as
burial places. Tho passages aro usually
from seven to eight feet in hlglit and four
or five feet wide, the chambers of Ihe dead
being in tiers at tho sides Many of them
are now vacant, but others still contain
their ghastly deposits, while hero and there
a grinning skull or some either fragment is
all that remains of tho skeleton. The cata
combs of St. Callxlusati the Appian Way
wera visited by us and sie of especial in
terest as containing the tomb) o several ol
the early popes, as well as shout 170,000
persons of mole lowly rank.
Throughout the city are many places
piloted out by tradition as connected wilh
incidents in the lives of Peter nud Paul.
The Mamerliuo prison, built 010 years bo
tire Christ, near tho Arch of Septimius
Sayerus is well identified und was uiuloiihl
edly the scene of many tragedies related hy
historians. The pillar is still shown to
which Peter nnd t'aul were chained und
also thu spring which burst forth miracu
lnusla to enable Peter lo baptise his jailors.
Tlie spring, however, is unlortuualcfy men
tioned hy Plutarch ns existing more than
a century before The prison consisted of
two cells cut out of tho solid rock, one
above the other, with an opening at the
top through which tho coiieleuiued weru
letdown. In the "Ghetto," or Jews' quar
ler, is pointed out tho "hired bouse" occu
pied hy Paul during tho three years of his
slay iu Koine. It is uow occupied by a
bakery.
But the extent to which this letter has
already grown compels us to pass on with
s-arcely a mention of tbo famous TrojanV
Column; the ancient Theatre of Marceilus:
the Temple ol Vesla, near the bridge so
bravely defended bv Horaliiifj tha Cloaca
Maxima or great sewer, built nearly 2,51 0
years "ago and slill in perfect repair; the
ancient aqueducts which ciosscd the plains
about the city miseries of arches miles in
length; tho modern fountains, which furn
ish an abundant supply of pure water; tho
ruins ot ihe Baths of Caraca lla, which con
tained accommodations for over 1,000
bathers ut a time; the ancient churches of
Santa Maria Maggmre, Sanla Croce, St. Co
cilia and many others; the Borghese, the
B.irlerinl,tiu-Ib'spigliosl and other pal icea,
wilh their almost invaluable art collections,
as well as many places of minor ImiKirl
aiiro. As wo wander about the streets of this
city lhat once ruled Iho world, and Iew
the ruins of its nncic.it magnificanio, ur
admiration lor the ability and power of
thore grand old Romans who once trod Its
streets Increases, and our contempt fn the
degenerate rae which now occupies this
fair land develops in proportion. Wlielher
it will ever regain its loriuer magnitude or
realize tho hopes and traditions of its
founders and prove an "L'lcrnal City," we
cannot tell. lis past belongs to hisliny.

For Assembly.
I hereby announco myself as a candi
date for tho nomination and election of
it Democratic llopresentativo for tho next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
ed, I shall continue to labor for the com
plete overthrow of all monopolies nnd
iho various means nud agencies which
are ontinually employed to oppress tlio
poor, firmly believing that neither Na
ture nor God ever dusigneel tiiat tho poor
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves of tlie Plutocracy better known
as the MONEY POWKK. Oooel wages
for a fair day's work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should bo tho law. und no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods,
should bo ullowed to exist, to over-reach
tlio laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, n
liioii others, really the great und vital
things that nro of practical importance
to tlio masses of the people, and that they
must ho radically corrccteil, sooner or
later. 1 pledge myself, under all circum
stances, to advocate them witli un un
yielding conviction, that it is for justice,
right and tlie good of Immunity. And I
shall do it with energy and force.
