There is every treason to be-
lieve that if the business men of
the city carry through Meir
present purpose to retain the
exhibits and reopen the show
six months hence, with improv-
ed facilities for reaching New
Orleans and living comfortably
while there, visitors will flock to
it from all parts of the country.
The spirit of enterprise in the
South has already received a de-
cided impetus from the Expo
sition, and that section would
profit greatly by another and
more successful season. So far
as the North is concerned, there
never was a time when people
in this part Of the country felt
more disposed to cultivate a
closer acquaintance. The par
ticipation of military companies
from Indiana, Iowa and other
Northern States in an interstate
competitive drill at Mobile last
week illustrates this spirit.-New

Annexation.

The latest. movement in
Washington is in favor of the
annexation Of Cuba, It is ar
gued by the supporters OF this
scheme that free :" sugar atone,
which would be one of the results
Of annexation, would be more
than sufficient compensation for
the price to be paid for the
acquisition. A leading Senator,
who belongs to the annexation
party, is reported to have said
thlt the Cleveland administra-
ton would execute IL most bril-
liant stroke of policy if it could
bring about annexation. An
nexation is a very good thing
sometimes, but the first annex
alton the country wants is to
have the offices now in the hands
