The Centennial.

If We may Judge trom tue result of The Cen
tennial meeting in Philadelphia yesterday, we
must conclude that our neghbors have made up
their minds that it Is 10 use TO call Jupiter i0r
help. Congress Will not aid them To be sure,
there was some discussion IN the Philadelphiau
declaration that Congress would ultimately come
to the aid OF the Exhibition, ana the doubtful
statement was allowed TO stand. For all thai a.
earnest effort is to be made to raise the amount
said to be needed Tor the successful launching OF
the Exposition. Ii was reported yesterday that
S2,00e, 600 had been subscribed and that s. 000,-
600 were needed. or this amount citizens arc
expected to furnish sl,000,000 and TIC State is 10
be asked to add $1,000 900 to its previous appro-
