the Bureau has Issued a circular to each
exhibitor who has not acknowledged the
receipt of his permit for space, Informing
him that if the Acknowledgement be not
received by a specified time fixed &C.
cording to the distance Of the exhibitors
residence from the Office of the bureau
his permit will be cancelled aud the
space allotted to other applicants.
In the present plan Of the exhibition
grounds only eight restaurants ale emu
merated and fears are expressed that
these will not be sufficient, it being stat
cd that at the Vienna exhibition, there
were over q dozen restaurants, not includ.
ing soda-water stands, bullets and lunch
counters.
Though it may appear like acting at
the eleventh hour" Maryland has at
last engaged space on the grounds, and is
about to erect a State pavilion. Work is
also about to begin on the building to be
&C. operatively erected by Kansas, Colo.
RADIO and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad Company for a joint display.
The latter intend to show that The region
through which their road passes, and
which is called the "Great American
Desert" is not such a great desert after
all ; but that, on the contrary, it possesses
a vast extent of naturally fertile soil.
The display Of Kansas and Colorado viii
be mainly neurological and agricultural
Among other buildings Of Importance
about to be erected, is the Pacific Coas'
Centennial Hail." which will be undei
the direction Of the Society Of California
Pioneers, aud is designed as 4 place o
resort and shelter for the visitors from
the Pacific coast. 1t will be ll5 by 8,
feet in size, with an elevation Of 80 fee
aad a central dome A feet high. 1t vii
contain a large hall, au assembly room
and Office and private rooms including
post Office and registry.
An order will probably be issued in
few days for the entire exclusion OF visit
ors from the exhibition grounds, the oh
iect being to prevent Interference wit
the work CT installing goods and beauti
flying the site. 1t il officially announce
however, that admission tickets may b
issued for which fees will be charged
The prohibitory order has already gon
into effect regarding the buildings an
causes much vexation to the thousands {
daily visitors. One fine day, recently
the number of the latter amounted to nc
less than ninety thousand. The Chief c
the Bureau OF Transportation counted tn
cars as they arrived and carefully watct
, ed the entrance OF pedestrians, 80 that

AZ And now complaint Is made that
the great investigator, Holster Clymer,
so much enjoys his role that he takes
hold of matters over which be has not the
slightest jurisdiction and matters which
properly belong to other committees
His party friends are trying to devise
some method to choke him off, but thus
far without avail. The noticeable
fact of the case is that though there
has been a great cry" there is "but little
wool" Even Belknap has hopes of es
Gaping punishment.

81 1t is a matter for congratulation
that the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union have secured DR., Reynolds, the
leader in the great temperance revolution
ia eastern Massachusetts,. to labor for two
days in Middlebury. He will be here
Tuesday aud Wednesday of next week,
the 18th and 10Th instants. He will
hold a mass temperance meeting Tues
day evening. Wednesday afternoon there
will be a meeting for men only, and
Wednesday evening a general meeting
again. The hours and place OF meeting
will be announced by posters. Attention
was called to the great work DIR. Rey-
nolds has accomplished in Massachusetts,
in the temperance column OF this paper q
few weeks since. The work in Gloucester
was mentioned. One of the clergymen
of that place made some statements OF
great interest with regard to results, after
the work had been tested, in one OF the
prominent religious papers of Massachu-
sets of March % Two thousand three
hundred have joined the reform clubs OF
that one place and nearly all have at
some time been drinkers. The work be-
gan early in the winter. The excitement
has for the most part died away. The
sailors have been out to sea and returned
with money. 1t has been stated that
twenty.eight vessels were fitted out with
temperance crews and not one Of those
who had returned had fallen. Out Of
the two thousand three hundred, thirty
two landsmen have fallen. Some Of these
stand ready to return when the club viii
receive them, aud none Of them have
been given up. Saloon keepers are be
ginning to say "lt's no USE" aud eighteen
have 'closed shop" We clip the follow

s 1t has been supposed there was
a dangerous tendency among executive
officers to exceed their proper limitations
in taking responsibilities in behalf OF the
public they are called to serve. But we
have lately had some refreshing instances
of yirtuous refusal to assume unwarranted
powers, even as u response to popular
clamor. AS for instance, the action OF
Governor Peck in refusing to sanction the
rebuilding Of the Reform School, and to
authorize the mourning OF expense to the
state for the desirable purpose OF secur.
ing headquarters for visitors from this
state to the centennial. OF course he has
been roundly censured, called an 'old TO-
gy," &c.
And now We find we have another "old
fogy' in the executive department OF the
national government. And the "old To-
ov" who refuses to take unauthorized re-
sponsibillties is not an old man in his Sec
ond childhood, either. The appropria'
tons for supplying custom houses post
Offices and other public buildings with
fuel, light aud water becoming exhaust
ed, Secretary Bristow applied to Congress
for relief. These measures must originate
in the House. But the Democratic ma
iority had no time to consider any meas
ure without a promise Of political capital
in it, so the necessary appropriations Tor
keeping the public business in operation
we're neglected aud Secretary Bristo"
promptly ordered the discharge OF engi'
neers and fremen, shut up the furnaces
turned of the water and gas, and all the
public buildings were left in cold and
darkness. The House Of Representatives
is responsible, but there are plenty oil
self.appointed critics who deal out cen
sure TO MIR. Bristow 10 unstinted measure
for not taking the responsibility of con
tinuing the expenditure, even though the
law in distinc. terms prohibits il. Il
would seem to be a favorable Symptom
that our public officers do feel more thu
binding force Of law aud precedent thar
formerly.

jubilation to either party. 1t resulted in
the reelection of Governor lngei soil,

were trotted out, but their Growing was

Ex.Speaker Blaine is at present by far
the strongest candidate in the expression
of popular preference, and will carry into
the convention much the largest number
of delegates in his favor and yet he may
not have enough to secure his nomin. ton
in the outset OF the balloting, and perhaps
not at all. Should he be nominated, as
We hope will be the fact, republicans will
have q sound and satisfactory platform in
their candidate and, if elected, the
country will have an able, a discreet, a
saeacious and a thoroughly tried republic
can for president. We can think of no
other one 10 the entire list Of names men

be so likely TO elect, or who, judged by
