THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
Extensive Proportions of the Main
Building-Reduced Fares,

Building-Reduced Fares.
The main building for the Southern EX-
position to open at Louisville, KY,
August l, is now in a sufficiently ad-
Vanced stage of construction to give the
spectator some idea of it's extensive pro-
portions. 1t will be one of the largest
exposition buildings ever erected, as will
be seen from the following comparisons
of the area, in square feet, of the main
buildings of the worlds great industrial
exhibitions:
London, 1851 .... .. 9S9s84
New Y Ork 1858 ......... ...... 24969I
Paris, 1855 ..-. ...... ........ ... 5I5.934

Philadelphia, 1876 ....... .'. S7239O
Atlanta, 1881 ............. ..... l07 $50
Southern Exposition at Louisville, Ky. 677, 400
1t thus appears that the main building
of the Southern Exposition will be larger
than the main building at Vienna in 1873.
at Paris in 1868 and 1855, and New York
in 1858, while it is smaller only than the
main buildings at the two London expo
sitiOns and the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia in 1876. At the two Paris
eXpositiOns the anneXes ran the total area
up to slightly over one million square
feet, and at Philadelphia the machinery

increased the area to greater dimensions
than ever attempted before, and probably
greater than will be attempted for many
years to come. At Atlanta in 1881 the
anneXes increased the total area to about
eight acres. The Southern Exposition
has already projected annexes for saw
mills, horticultural displays and art eXhi-
bitions that will increase the total area
by many thousands of square feet.
The fare from all points in the United
States has been fixed at one and One-third
fare for the round trip during the exposi-
tiOn. That is, if the regular round fare
from distant point is $4S, it will be re-
duced to $32. Within radius of several
hundred miles, however, excursion rates
will prevail, which will make the fare
very much less. 1t is stated at the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Office that
that company has already arranged for
increase of carrying capacity for the ex-
position travel that will cost $50, 900.
The freight rates for exhibits will in a
short time be arranged on the basis of
freight one way.

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS IN NEW
YORK
What Part the Tariff Will Play in the
Next Campaign.

Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana,
who has just returned from Florida, was
met at the st. Denis Hotel by reporter
of the Mail and Express, with whom he
chatted in his usual, easy fashion. "DOn't
| ask me about the Presidency" he pro-
tested, because am not a candidate, and
anything in regard to the various gentle
| men who are named is of a personal ma
ture. l am here on business only" OF
the issues of the next campaign, however,
Mr.. Hendricks said:
"There is no doubt that the question of
tariff will enter, but do. not think it will
be very important issue. In Indiana a
majority of the people hold that we should
have tariff tor revenue, with due re-
gard to the interests of the manufactu-
rers. The question depends greatly on
how the interests of the country are af-
fected by the new act. Should it be found
to be beneficial it would 90 far towards
settling the question, and it is not proba-
bic that in that case, the tariff question
would enter into the campaign issues or
be discussed in the next Congress-"
us not the Democratic party greatly
divided on the tariff?'
"Fhe leaders appear to be much more
divided on that subject than they really
are"
lis there not large free trade element
in that parity
''SOme of the leaders are termed free
traders, but so far as / can learn there is
not one among them who is in favor of
absolutely abOlishing duties and collecting
by direct taxation. l do not think there
will be so much difference of opinion
among Democrats as has been supposed.
The tariff is a question of business. |
know of no Democrat who advocates a
horizontal taritf-that is to say, a total
abolition Of revenue duties. There has to
be a great deal of judgment exercised in
the arrangement of taxation on different
articles"
What, in general terms, then, is the
position of the Democracy on the tariff ?"
THAT is broad question. | can only
say this in reply: Taxation for protec-
ton is not going to be received by the
Democratic party"
''Will not this issue have a bearing on
the contest for the next Speakership!'
1T may be advanced by some of the
candidates. Should it be understood that
Mr.. Carlisle is in favor of wiping out all
internal taxation, it will lose him the
votes of Indiana"
Are you in favor of reduction of the
revenue%'
81 hold that taxation ought to be re-
duced, for the revenue is in excess of the
proper expenditures of the government.
Congress has reduced the internal reVe-
nue., and it ought to be reduced. Indeed,
L stated in the last campaign that the
revenue should be reduced 800, ,00O. .OOO.'

THE POCAssET TRAGEDY.

Charles Il. Freeman, Who Slew His
Daughter as a Sacrifice, Pronounced
Sane.
A special dispatch from Boston, Mass,
says: "The strangest crime of the age is
at length to be brought before the courts.
four years after its commission, for final
Judgment upon the chief actor. Charles
f. Freeman, the religious fanatic of
POcasset, who in May, 1879, slew his little
daughter as a sacrifice to God. has been
pronounced sane by the asylum authori-
ties, and as there is pending against him
an indictment for murder, the form of a
Freeman is much the same man
that he was when he led the
little community on Cape Cod into
fanaticiSm so rank and wild that he was
sustained and defended by scores of his
neighbOrs in the dreadful crime he com
mitted. He, however, has lost something
of his arrogance, and his religious belief
is entirely overturned. Indeed, he is fast
tending to infidelism. He now says that
he was instgated by the devil to kill his
little daughter, and not inspired by God.
The circumstances of the tragedy he
claims TO be unable to recall. but
he does not seem greatly over
whelmed with remOrse. Frequently of
late Freeman has been allowed to
visit his wife, who joined with him in
prayer before the awful sacrifice, and who
held the light when he plunged the knife
into the heart of their little daughter.
Mrs. Freeman was not long kept in con-
finement. For two or three years she has
been earning living with her needle for
herself and the surviving daughter in
Lynn. She, too, has renounced the Sec
Ond Advent delusiOn, and feels more
keenly than does her husband the terrible
manner of her child's death.
'The religious history of Pocasset since
the tragedy, which has made the name
synonymous with modern fanaticism the
world over, has been full of interesting
points. For long time the event remain
ed a blight upon the whole village.
Scores of the Adventists sincerely expect
ed to see the little martyr rise from her
coffin on the third day, as had been
prophesied by her eXecutioner. The fail
ure of this promise first shook their faith,
but it was many months before some of
the fanatical delusiOns were dispelled,
and even now the breach between the old
faction and the MethOdists is not entirely
healed. The spirit of bitterness finds vent
in many heated theological argument.
During the last two seasons. however.
summer soiOurners have been bringing a
new and more wholesome life into the
strange but picturesque little village, and
the effect has already proved salutary.
1.-TWO Justices of the Supreme Court
have the case of Freeman under advise
ment, but it has not been decided what
disposition to make of it. The Attorney
General will bring the case to some final
settlement before the Supreme Court at
Barnstable on May |. Freeman will pro-
badly be acquitted on the ground of in
sanity or be allowed to 90 on his own re-
cOgnizance."
