popular Congressional body the return to
power Of the great National Democracy,
which will be watched with intense in
terest in its every movement The great
Centennial Exposition. illustrating and
emphasizing every phase of the nations
progress, side by side with the deVelOpe>

u constant fund of incident and informa-
ton, which. to the great mass Of the peo-
pie, can only be reflected by the newspa-
per of broad scope and commanding re-

An era so full of interest sicnalizes the
extraordinary need OF all the people for
