" On To OklahOmav

Tho facts which we proceed to state have
a direct bearing upon each other and upon Il
matter that will soon command the attcn-
ton Of the country.
The old Oklahoma job, in its familiar form
OF bill to reorganze the government Of
the Indian Territory, was introduced in the
House few days ago by Congressman
FROST OF Missouri. The bill is nearly idcu-
teal with those which have been pushed at
previous sessions by FRANKLIN and other
creatures Of the Oklahoma Ring, A strong
effort will be made to procure its passage by
the Forty-siXth Congress.
FROST of Missouri who now terminates
the ugly aud oft defeated job, accompanied
the thief JOIN PATTERSON on his recent eX-
cursion into the Indian Territory -thecXcur-
sion which cost the Treasury more than
$1,000. The result OF PATrRsoN's journey
was n report recommending certain legisla-
ton in the interest of the Southwestern rail
roads which had treated him as their guest
and filled him with food and wine. The pre-
tended investigation upon which PATrER-
SONS report is based was conducted by
PATTERSON alone; he alone is responsible
for its recommendations, and his recon-
mcndation OF any measure is in itself primd
facie evidence of the measures dishonesty.
Yet a bill based upon that report Of PATTER-
SONS is now before the Senate, having
passed the Committee on Territories and
the lobbyists Of the Oklahoma Ring and the
railroads interested in the Ring proclaim
their intention OF putting it through during
the present session.
Last week Mr., HAYES, acting on informa-
tion received from Mr. GAIL SCHUR2, his
de fGctO Secretary of the Interior, issued "A
proclamation addressed to persons intend
ing To enter and settle upon lands in the
Indian Territory. The proclamation sets
forth the illegality of such invasion and oc-
cupation, and warns the offenders that they
will be removed, by military force if ncces-
sary, If they carry out their present inten-
ton Of violating the law.

The Question as Mr.. Hayes Himself
States IL.

Mr.. HAYES, in his veto message, says:
1t is the question whether or no the
House of Representatives has a right 70
say, We will grant supplies only upon con-
dition that grievances are redressed."
The ground taken by Mr.. HAYES is that
the House possesses no such right. He
seems to think the House is obliged TO vote
the supplies IN any event, and that failure
to do so upon the part OF the House is
necessarily dereliction Of duty.
Now it seems to us very plain that II this
were the constitutional view OF the subject,
then no vote of supplies would have been
made necessary. The President would have
been at liberty TO draw them from the
Treasury at his discretion.
Why is it that under the Constitution the
House OF Representatives alone has the
right to originate bills which grant the
money Of the people?
There must have been some purpose in
inserting such provision in the Constitu-
ton.
What was It?
II was TO place this power exclusively In
the hands Of body fresh from the people,
and soon TO lay down their power to the
hands Of the people again, SO as to guard
against any Use Of the peoples money in
compatible with liberty.
This Is no idle, unmeaning provision. II
the House We're obliged, under all circum-
stances, to vote supplies, no such provision
would ever have been Incorporated in the
fundamental law of the land.

1t takes a man with a good memory for
facts to keep the run of the Worlds Fairs
which are to be held in different parts Of the
globe during the present year, and each Auc-
ceedng year up to 1855, One would need to
be a brisk and enterprising traveller to at
tend them all; and if everybody who has
anything to show at these exhibitions should
seek to be represented at each, his goods
would hardly be unpacked in Australia be-
fore he would have TO get up new supply
for Mexico or Belgium
Tho advantages Of these international eX-
hibtions to trade and manufacture have un-
doubtedly been great since the time OF the
opening Of the first at Paris in 1919, but they
are becoming so frequent that their novelty
as sights is gone; and u producer is so
heavily taxed by the expenses OF n display
at fairs occurring yearly in widely separated
quarters Of tho earth, that he has good rea-
son to count the cost and weigh 1t against
any practical gain he may get from the
show.
Already we have had the first interna-
tional exhibition at Paris In lS49 that at
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-05-02

London in 1851. that at Dublin in 1853, the
unsatisfactory exhibition at New York in
the same year, the second at Paris in 1855
the second at London in 1862, another at
Paris in 1867, the Vienna fair of 1873, our
Centennial Exhibition of 1876, and the great
Paris fair Of 1878.
Here was pretty rapid succession of in
ternational exhibitions, and it is not sur
prising to find the London journals report
ing that the people there are beginning to
look on these enormous displays as bores,
so like each other that the charm OF nov
city is gone, while the opportunities for sat
isfactory study of the work of the world are
lost, because Of the myriad Of things dis
played. Meanwhile, after every fair, cxhib-
itors are wrathful at the awards OF tho
prizes and n medal has lost its former value
as furnishing incontestablo evidence of SUI
periority.
The fairs to come, or those which are pro-
posed are still more numerous. There is
mania for these exhibitions which is likely
to result in running the whole business into
tho ground, and turning the attention Of
people TO some other means for tho COMPARE
son of products. During this year there Is
to be the fair at sydney in Australia. An
other takes place at Melbourne, on the Same
island, next year. In January. 1880, the in
tcrnational exhibition at the city OF Mex
leo opens. Antwerp is to have one this SUM
mer. The Germans are talking of a gigan-
tic fair at Berlin in 1889. Tho Italians have
a similar project on foot. England must
before long, have another of these exhibit
tions; and we have committee here in
New York laying plans for the Worlds Fair
of 1888.
All those who enjoy that sort Of thing, and
who can spare tho money to crafty their
curiosity, will therefore have plenty Of OPP
portunitics at any time during the next five
years to feast their eyes ON the displays Of
the world PRODUCTS
