The CHRONICLE cannot republish the
following article from the editorial col

ton, without word Of explanation. First
Of all, OF course, it does not presume

outdo it in zeal for this enterprise so
long as it shall be properly managed.
Humbly to forward it it viii be content, il
only the Exposition is made what it ought
to be. In the second place it is proper to
explain the Importance of such an utter.

What it SO kindly says about the State
Exhibition to be held here next year is
read with authority throughout New Eng
land. At that end of the line the fire is
already kindled. Let us be sure that it
burns brightly here. When the Bulletin
says that New England will send exhibits,
and send visitors, it means what it says !;
for. as THE CHRONICLE happens to know
the Bulletin caused exhibits to be sent to
Atlanta and to Louisville; and it is not a
journal to speak recklessly, or to make
promises which may not be trusted.
Thus we have evidence even so soon as
this that the time is ripe for this project,
and it cannot fail, and thanks are due to
the people and to ''the peculiar felicity Of
the times
The Bulletin of the 18th contains the fol-
lowing editorial
THE EXPOSITION EPIDEMIC.
1T is good thing to catch. This has
been proved since 1876. Atlanta proved
it; Louisville proved it; Chicago proved it.;
Cincinnati proved it; Denver proved it.;
Boston has proved it over and over again,
and now comes North Carolin, the first OF
all the Southern States to formulate a plan
for State Exhibition on q grand scale.
Raleigh's business men met the other
night and pledged themselves to it. From
all parts of the State come like pledges.
Governor Jarvis is enthusiastic.
This movement, albeit so spontaneous,
is a great triumph for Raleigh's new news
paper, THE STATE CHRONICLE. 1t is to
it the honor Of suggesting it is due, al
though with characteristic modesty the
paper says it is san honor that belongs
to the people and to the peculiar felicity
of the times.''
1.-The exposition will be held, and it will
be great success. New England will be
there in large doses; she will send exhb-
Its; she will send visitors. It was not in
vain that North Carolina came to Boston
this fall. One end of the commercial and
social cord, which is to bind these two sec,
tions together, as OF old, was fastened
this fall. The other end will be fastened
next fall.
Great things are in store for North
Carolina. She is possessed Of very varied
and boundless natural resources; OF a
charming but conservative people. The
present generation is working harder and
living on less than any people in the
United States. They are close traders and
frugal livers. A complete revolution has
been worked by necessity that will carry
the next generation far on the high road
to independence and wealth. The idea
that Northern man can go South and dc
things for less, and live on what is wasted
by these people, is pure buncombe.
Nevertheless, there are great Oppor.
tunites for Northern men in this South
ern State. The Exposition here showed it,
the Exposition there will show it still fur
ther. We approve of expositions; but we
don't pretend to run them; yet we cannot
forbear suggesting to the men who WI
conduct this one, that they see to it tha
Col. Benjamin S. Pardee, the gallant Con
necticut Colonel, who has done more TO-
North Carolina in New England than sht
can never know-that this mans wise
counsel is sought, especially in their deal
ings with the North and with New Eng
land.
The Tar-Heel and the Yankee are Q
one blood; the thing that separates then
is thing Of the past. Henceforth tn
old blood will remingle, and there Is bu
one destiny.
LET the good work 60 on.''
