Tha I.ank nf sYmnathY.

The stalwarts have turned upon the
Administration Republicans the point OF
the censure of the New York Republi.
can Committee for its failure to express
sympathy for the wounded President.
The Chicago Inter Ocean states the case
as follows:
Ca large number of prominent gentle
men were present, representing both
factions of the party, and including Mr..
Robertson, Speaker Sharpe and other
warm supporters of the administration,
vet none of them seemed to think OF the
propriety of expressing sympathy for
the President until after the adjourn
ment. The stalwart portion Of the com
mittee expected some of the friends of
the administration to introduce such a
resolution, and were evidently surprised
that none was offered. 1t is a pity
that they did not offer such resolution
themselves when they found that the
matter was entirely overlooked by those
who have Wanted their friendship for
the President, but they seem to have
waited in expectation OF movement on
the part of these gentlemen until it was
too late, and the committee adjourned.
Now, it matters very little whether the
State Committee express sympathy for
the President or not so far as any effect
on the patient is concerned. He will re-
cover just as surely and just as
speedily without it. But it is a
Notifying commentary on the graft

The New York Worlds Fair project
seems to have received a quietus, at least
for the present Elk Judge Henry Hill
ton having been requested by a number
of leading citizens TO aid in recognizing
the Worlds Fair Committee, has written
8 letter begging to be excused from such
an undertaking. He says he believes
that at present il would be very difficult
to create or revive a public feeling ia
vorable to a worlds fair in that city, and
that it is not easy to renew interest in an
enterprise that has been declared fail
ure. He blames Congress for not hav-
ing taken the proposed fair under its
protecting care. Other friends of the
enterprise propose making another ap-
peal to Congress to act more literally
towards the project in the remission of
customs dues on articles brought from
abroad for exhibition, and possibly in
other ways. But for the present the out
look for the New York worlds fair is
gloomy.

way IN which the present tariff prevents

that large quantities and varieties of
fruit were grown here gave an exten.
sive conditional order for American jams
and jellies put up in glass. There was
no difficulty about the fruit, but it was
soon found that the import duties on
sugar, glass, ETC., made the price of the
articles desired here higher than the
price of similar articles in England. The
order went there.
