1t will be gratifying assurance to
thousands of American citizens, par
ticularly many of those who had
their interest revived in the Wash
ington monument on their visit there
last summer, to know that the Presl-
dent and Mrs. Hayes have both ex-
pressed their determination to forward
its immediate completion by every
legimate means in their power. On
the 9th of last July, Senator Sherman,
moved by the patriotic spirit excited
by visit to the Centennial Exposition
the day previous, secured al apprO-
priation of $2Os, 900 out of money not
otherwise appropriated, TO finish the
monument, which remains precisely
as it was left some years before the
war. A board of army officers was
Immediately designated to test the
foundations and much dissat IsfactiOn

about the work. But they appear to
have faithfully performed their duty
in the matter, boring down to depth

ter of the earth formation. How i'm
portans this information is, will be
appreciated when it is stated that it
Will have to support shaft of mar
bic, about 600 feet in height, 81 teet
square at the base, gradually tapering
in its upward growth. 1t is under
stood the tests have been satisfactory
and that immediate steps have been
determined upon to resume work.
There are $780, OO, minus the cost OF
the testing experiments, available,
besides quite an amount realized by
private contributions. 1t Is not be-
lieVed that the amount on hand is
sufficient to complete the structure
according to the original plan, but
with the hearty cooperation of the
President and the females of his house
hold, it is thought the balance aeed-
ed can be readily obtained. AS it
now stands, III feet high of white
marble, it is a marked feature in COM
ing up the Potomac and when COM
pleted it will be without rival in the
world.

Marrow Gauge Prospects.

Marrow G8u&e A-FOeEsecHs.
We have seen several prominent
gentlemen from along the line of
the K. g, E. Sc. =. railroad this
week, and ali report much interest
felt in its success by the people.
Greenwood county is to vote on
taet bonds on the oath. 1t is be-
Iieved the proposition will carry
If active work is done from now
till then.
The most strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to defeat the bonds in
Greenwood and Butler by counter
movements. There is "great cry and
little WOOL about east and West
roads to cross at all towns through
which the narrow gauge will pass
Every ncighborhood is TO have
speedy connection direct with st.
Louis. 1t IL worthy Of note that
this fuss about so many "East and
West" roads should be made inst
at this time, and that not 9 word
is being said that we can hear
of In the three hundred miles
through which the EAST aud West
must pass before 1t reaches the
counties now being canvassed for
It. This fact of itself shows the
aHimus OF the fight being made
on the narrow gauge.
The A. T. & s. F. company is
taking an active part against the
narrow gauge. or all things they
do not want q competing line
through Southwestern Kansas, and
especially do they dislike the idea
OF competing with a narrow
gauge. They haYe their agents
and bummers at work circulating
all sorts Of stories In regard TO
the narrow gauge proposition.
Among other things, they took the
pains to send to Chicago to pry into
the private affairs OF the gentle
men who propose TO invest in the
narrow gauge, and are now cir
culatiDg stories to the effect that
the company has no money. That
is an old dodge, and was played
on the Santa Fe company when
they were talking of building
that line. Such stories are not
worth q moments attention. We
have seen the most emphatic and
satisfactory statements from the
leading bankers of Chicago that
the narrow gauge company is en-
tirely able to undertake the en-
terprise. We urge the people not
to be turned aside by stories told
by parties interested in other pro-
jects.

a NIppIns Decision.


On the 18th of May, the same
date when the Centennial Exhibi-
tion opened in 1876, the new
and Permanent International Ex-
hibition," in the main Centennial
building at Philadelphia is to be
opened under the auspices Of the
new company organized for that
purpose. The permanent exhibi-
tion will not be so very inferior to
the Centennial, as while it confines
itself to the main building, it will
be as compact and systematically
arranged as possible, and that build
ing covers 81 acres, being as large
as that occupied by the first Worlds
Fair at London. Spain, Austria,

manent departments and a gigantic
aquarium is to be established. All
this was the arrangement prior to
the recent decision of the U. S. Su-
preme Court in that little matter OF
$I,500,000, but since that decision
the company feels greatly discour-
aged, as it expected to pay for the
main building $250,0O0 in Centenni-
al Exposition shares valued at So
each, but which the decision has re-
duced to q value of So each. Wheth-
er or not the permanent exhibition
enterprise will open May 18th as
has been announced, or be indefi-
nitely postponed, is not decided.

The increase in the failures, and
