News makes pleasant mention oftbe Centennial
~ he held In Philadelphia 1t says
President Grant announces that all interna-
tional exhibition will be held at Philadelphia III
| the year 1875. The resolve to distinguish his
second term of office by an invitation Of the
whole world to the city Of brotherly love is one
which will give general satisfaction in the Unit
ed States. The Quaker metropolis is peculiar
ly fitted by It's historical and geographical posi-
| ton for such gathering, and we believe thai
the Presidents invitation will meet with very
large response.
Both exhibitors and visitors will probably
| chow their W illngness to contribute to the sue
cess Of the exhibition. That success must OF
course depend in great degree on the largeness
and the liberalty the plan; and we may trust
to the energy of the American people to make
| II quite worthy successor of the splendid show
| by which vienna IS at this moment equaling,
II not surprising, all previous exhibitions. As
| complete representation of the industrial ac-
tivity OF the New World, there will be enough
to distinguish 1t from former exhibitions. In
| which, Of course, Europe has held the first
place, and to give it a marked individuality.
Ii Is probable that If the scheme Is successful.
I ly carried out laige number of Europeans
may make 1t the occasion of visit to the won
derfu. Continent on the otLer side of the At.
| lantic. Thus apart from any influence II NAV
have on trade it will at least give an impetus to
| transatlantic travel, and make, not Americans
but America aud its Institutions better known
| on this side the sea. We cordially hone that
| the exhibition may prove to be one of the great
est successes OF the Presidents administration
