The Centennial Appropriation,
st. Loui, Repub,,can


It seems to be settled fact that when
congress reassembles there will be vigor-
GUS effort made by the Centennial Exposl-
ton company to obtain a repayment by
the government of the $l,500,0O0 loan.
The shareholders in interest have been
quietly working up the matter and drill
ling a strong lobby for the campaign. They
have obtained an accurate compilation OF
the amount received by the government
from customs on goods imported for the
exposition, and it is claimed that the gross
receipts foot up over $2,000,0OO. tits
argued from this that the United States
would have lost nothing had the aDpro-
priation not been repaid, and an additional
reason is thus afforded why the decision Of
the supreme court. under which the repay
ment was made, should not be regarded
as a final settlement of the matter. A
dispatch to the Inter Ocean states that
report has it that one-third of this amount
will be distributed among the lobby, and
that the shareholders expect to realize
over eighty per cent in all on their shares.
We had hoped that the last had been
already heard of this matter, and that the
Philadelphians had wisely concluded to
drop it, when the law and public sentis
ment were SO evidently dead against them.
Many of our lreaders will recollect the
fierce fight in congress over the appropria-
ton, and ..also that it never would have
been granted had not its advocate;
plainly and Enthusiastically pledged its re-
payment, and a provision to that effeG
was Incorporated in the bill. 1t was an ac
of bad faith for the company to resist tht
repayment, and when they were finally
compelled to make it, and when they were
finally compelled to make it, they pal:
over the money with the worst possible
grace The expectation now that congress-
will reopen the matter, and, in the face o
a legal decision, return the money to thu
shareholders, is simply preposterous.
