A Worlds Fair Not Wanted.

Says the New York Sun, all the pub
lished accounts of the reception given at
Delmonico on Saturday evening to
Gen. Grant concur in representing it as
an exceedingly tame affair. The sub
scriptions reported amounted to 1926,
500 toward the 81 ,O00, 900 required even
to secure commencement of the under
taking-to say nothing of the further
millions which will be needed to carry il
out-and when few additional sums were
announced the capitalists present began
to beat q retreat in order to avoid being
called upon. Nothing but the announce.
ment of supper prevented general STAN.
pede and the discussion of champagne and
oysters brought the proceeding TO an at
rupt close.
The truth is, the people of this city do
not want the proposed Worlds Fair.
Nobody viii profit by it, pecuniarily, eI:
cept the railroads and hotel keepers, and
even they have so much business already.
that they care for little more. Noprop.
er and convenient site for it has yet been
found, and In our opinion none can
be found. As a machine FOR keeping
Grant before the public eye, and for
hoisting into notorie,y the fussy citizens
who hang around him, it might serve tol,
erably well, but that is not sufficient
reason for wasting some 1000, 600 OF
s., ,OO0, 900 on it, for it would, after all,
be only magnifed American Institute
Fair such as We have every year at small
expense.
The speculation is evidently at the
point Of death. Let it GO on and die and
and be buried ont of sight

Folly and vice, by turns. do johnson rule,
Sometimes the knare prevails, sometimes the

Base would be found, their motives under

His life's q counterfeit, \ masquerade,
And cant and rank hypocrisy his t-ade.
The Union with that last gasp and
struggle for existence which always de-
note the beginning of the end, comes out
in its last issue with few disjointed SEN
tences which it labels forgery " and in
which, with that duliness of comprehen-
sion for which its alleged editor is noted,
it attempts the bare-facsi fraud Of trying
to gull the people of this city with the
assertion that the STATESMAN has Eiis-
quoted the Unions language, when that
paper Of Feb. 18th, is living witness of
the fact that our quotations were literal
in every particular, even to the punctua-
tion. Both the STATESMAN and the Qn-
ION can be seen at this Office to verify this
assertion, and we ask nothing better than
to prove this to any and all interested in
the matter.
That the Union, low as it has fallen,
should thus deliberately and persistently
lie, when there was n"t one chance in a
thousand that it could go undetected,
shows that is trying to bolster up fast
decreasing circulation in way that even
the dead shot" papers, conceived By the
lowest scum of our creators subjects
would scorn to do.
Las: night We compared the editor OF
the Union to Benedict Arnold and Judas
Iscariot, which We are now forced to with
draw he has sunk even too low for this
comparison.
Not only does he attempt to sell his
country for few shining baubles, but
with malice aforethoasht, after the injury
is accomplished, he endeavors to deliber-
ately lie ont of it by charging the STATES
MAN with forgery and distorting its quota

In the Treasury Department writes a
correspondent st Washington, there u an
interesting set of books. printed and
bound, each one the size Of Webster's 8
dictionary. But they are not open to
public inspection. rhese books contain
the name and residence Of every holder
of registered four per cent. bonds IN the
United States The amounts range from
$50, which is the smallest, up to S6i eco,
600, which is the largest sum owned by
one person. The latter sum is owned by
W. II. Vanderbilt, and upon it he draws
$4,000 every ninety day. A check
for tina. amount is mailed 20 him quarter
ly. At the same time the owner Of $50
bond receives so cents These bonds are
very popular, and although the original
holders of them paid but par On little
share, since which time the bonds have
advanced 70 about thirteen per cent pre-
Mn, yet--the books, -hov but compara-
lively few transfers The premium is not
of sufficient temptation to cause the ay-
erage holder to part with his securities;
for instance the bonds owned by Wander
bilt are worth ST, ,OOo, 900, but he holds
on to them all the same. W. H. Wander
bilt individually owns more registered
U. S. bonds than are owned in all the 10
Western States and Territories These
States and Territories have population
of over 10000, 600, yet there is held
among them but $40, 600, 900, or less than

ern States Il, ,O0O, 900 are owned, or about
one-fourth the amount held by single
citizen in New York A prominent
Treasury official, in speaking of the ine-
qualities Of fortune as illustrated by these
figures, said that he thought it would
eventually cause discomfort. A man
with the enormous wealth now possessed
by Mr.. Wander bilt could add to it very
rapidly; in fact it will double itself in
twenty years if put into four per cent.
bonds, and let alone save to add the an
nual interest With the present "start"
which Mr.. v. has in bonds and dividend
stocks, it will be an easy matter for him
10 be worth at least $3.50, ,O0O, 900 should
he live twenty years hence. 1t is said
that he is worth more than half Of this
sum now. Outside the Vanderbilt faini-
y there is no single individual who
owns over S., ,OO0, 900 of regist red bonds.
Those who own 81 ,000, 900 are not nu.
merous Quite number, several hund-
red in fact, in different portions of the
country have over 100000. This is re-
,arded as nice plum, and the man who
has tugged long time to get the round
s10O, 900 can well afford to take rest
