The New Workers are apparently In dead ear
nest IN their proposed Worlds Fair. Their ex-
ecut1ve committee upon the Fair have decided
that as there Is project for an interna-
tfonal exhibition In Berlin in 1856, it will
not be desirable to select that year for the
New York Exposition. The general expres.
sion of opinion was In favor Of fixing
the year 1883, opening In May OF that
year. The committee report In favor Of Gen.
trail Park for the site of the Fair Its conve-
nience Of access, being, as it were In the
heart OF the city, far outweighted every
consideration that could be named In
favor of any other locality. Taken In
-esuDUcLIOn with Manhattan square, there
Is upwards OF $50 acres which can be ap-
propriated to the necessary buildings and
their construction can be carried on and their
subsequent use realized without In the slightest
degree Interfering with the public walks and
drives, OF depriving the citizens of New York of
single atom OF their present enjoyment. Be-
sides, the building can be so constructed and
located that large part of them may remain
Tor permanent public use hereafter The main
structure could be used like the great palace of
Sydenham. The picture and art galleries
would exist as noble relics of the great fair.
and be devoted to continuous and per
manent public exhibition. In various WAYS
the structures could be made both or
namental and useful adjuncts to the en-
joyment OF the park as healthful and pleas
ant resort for the people, and "in this way the
Worlds Fair OF 1883 would be looked back upon
as continuous blessing

The Chicago republicans seem to be little
worried by the strategy OF their opponents In
the current municipal canvass. The Tribune
raises note OF warning, and says though the
democratic campaign has so far been a still
hunt. 1t has been persistent, vigorous, ana sys-
tematic, and must be watched. The father OF
the democratic candidate, Selpp, has lots Of
money TO spend in his election, which is urged
as another reason why the republican managers
should be up and doing. Then, again, the
Illinois democrats are credited with the inten-
ton OF making desperate struggle to carry
Chicago sin order to score the first victory of
the great campaign which Is to eliminate In
the election of a democratic President In $780,
SO In one way and another the Chicago poll
ticians are working up steam for hot NUM-
cipal fight.

For some time past it has been apparent to the I'm

DRY GOODS are being sold there should be differ

that we can in all cases meet their prices and give
credit customers the advantage of them
We confine u-seives strictly to the one price svs

making no distinction between cash aud credit and
probably in some instances discourage cash buvers
so, after mature consideration We have determined
