It's probable that the United States will be
fairly represented in the approaching international
Exhibition IN Holland; or perhaps it would b.
more correct to say that those interests of the
United States which can in any way be subSeryed
by the people of tho Netherlands will be repre-
sentcd. The country itself through its Government.
will never, probably. attempt to set forth
plete exhibit OF its extent products as
WAS done by so many nations here in 1875. The
whole earth knows the measure OF our gigantic
growth. both physical and mental, and we do not
think it worth while to give them any definite idea
of it in details If this is q mistake, it is one in
which we are likely to persist. Certain manufac-
turcrs Gamers of meats, fruits, etc, who think
they can find a market among the poorly -ed Neither
landers railway corporations and owners of land
who hope to tempt immigration and mining com
panies who expect 10 tempt Dutch capital to Ne

usually been the case in previous international ex-
hibitons that only those American exhibitors took
part who we're confident of finding ready market
by means OF this kind OF advertising and the pres

commercial interests may be benef ed by this mode
of proceeding, but National pride or reputation as
surcdly is not.
Think of the corked up agony of the BARRIERS, who

the good effect of a uniform in such case both on
the vearers aud spectators and it is particularly
desirable that these effects should be produced on
the crews of our fesavins stations. 1t ID essential
to the success of the service that the same men

therefore, like the wearing of a uniform, is to be
commended which would rouse their interest or
dramatic sense or keep alive in them the esprltde
c0rps or consciousness of personal obligation. The
uniform proposed is a modification OF that of the
Navy, and the price would be tow. not more than
