THE AMERICAN EXPOSITION

The proclamation of The Cover
nor, in reference to the opening o
the American Exposition. in New
Orleans, next Tuesday. the 10tl
inst, should awaken favorable re
Spouse from the people of Louisi
ana. 1t is prompted by a broat
public spirit AID deep solicitude
for the welfare of the State. How
ever conflicting may have been tn.
views of the people as to the expe.
diency of reviving the Exposition
this fall, the fact that it has been
undertaken and is about to be re.
opened, ehould put an end to all
differences Oh the subj, ct.
The citizens of New Orleans have
literally contributed to the support
of the enterprise. They have Ia.
bored diligently to make it q sue
cess, and have given public assur-
ances that their efforts have not
been in vain. It appears certain
that they have secured vast and
varied exhibits. which, together
with other attractions, will make
the new Exposition one that will
reflect great credit upon the energy
and Iiberality of New Orleans, and
confer manifold blessings upon the
S ale.
Therefore, it now behooves the
people of Louisiana to show their
appreciation of the liberality OF the
citizens of New Orleans, and of the
energy displayed by their agents,
by coming forward next Tuesday,
in great numbers. to prove to the
country and to tue world that they
intend to extend q hearty support
to the meritorious work achieved
Many of the incolveniences that
crippled the last Exposition will
not exist. The greatest. rapid
transportation, has been provided
for, and steam trains will convey
visitors to and from the Exposition
in twenty minutes, the starting
point being centrally located on
Canal street. Better times, better
weather are promised. Hence, the
visitors, besides having the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that they are help
ing their friends and tue State, will
reap greater return of pleasure
for their outlay than they did last
year.

Neuralgia Of the Face:

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been q most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, ut the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than = month was entirely relieved
Of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner, SO Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one Of the great.
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard Of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, -
well Is all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PsRuNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.

and Judge Roman sentenced him
to the full penalty Of the law -four

father and brother in the city, and
if either of them had performed
their duty, the worms of the earth
would now be fatteniag on Poasso's

The Mexican Editorial Visit.

Mr.. f. II. Talbot, the gentleman on
whose invitation party of representative
Mexican editors recently visited the United
States and, in the course of their tour,
passed several days in Washington, states
that he is in constant receipt Of letters and
papers from various sections of Mexico re-
ferring in most enthusiastic terms to the
good feeling, the gratitude, and the progress
sive influence resulting and to result from
this international visit.
To show how the anticipated fruits of
that visit are ripening Mr.. Talbot cites a
number Of recent events. For example,
at the Mexican capital few. days ago, Mr..
Arroyo de Anda, distinguished lawyer and
editor, who was Il prominent member Of the
party, in n speech at the celebration of the
anniversary Of the battle OF Churubusco, re-
ferred in most kindly and eloquent man
ner to the new era of social and commercial
intimacy which has thus been inauguratcd
between the two countries, declaring that
It must soon transform hatred into love and
prejudice into appreciation.

speaks Of as one of the most intelligent and
progressive cities in the republic, DIR. Man
uel Gomez Portugal, also one Of the visit.
ing editors, is delivering a course of lee
lures in the grand salon of the Scientific and
Literary Institute, on "Nuestra Vista los
Estados Unidos'-our visit TO the United
States; and in the same city permission
has been obtained by DR.. Portugal and his
fellow traveller on this same journey, DR.
Alclbiades Gonzales, to conduct one Of the
public schools "a In mode del norte''-On
the plan pursued IN the north. Among the
reforms which they hope TO be able to ac-
Complish is the abandonment OF the prac,
tice Of studying aloud-a custom that must
be productive Of anything but that restfu
quiet which is deemed necessary in al
schools In the United States.
President Dlaz recently said 10 Mr. d. b
Robinson, then general manager of the
Mexican Central railway, that no incident
hearing upon the relations Of the two repub
lies had occurred during his administration
which had given him SO much pleasure al
had the hospitablc and cordial manner II
which the Mexican editors had been re-
ceiycd in their tour through the United
must result therefrOm.
1t IS announced that at least two, and
probably four books, by as many different

Isn't 1t Curious Z?

The New York World says "The talk
about the removal of the Rev. Jabez Fox
from n treasury clerkship reveals that he
has been a Republican barnacle stuck 10
the treasury for twenty years, solely be-
cause his congregation was too poor to pay
him salary sufficient for his support"
This is unjust to Mr.. Fox, for he is said
TO have been a faithful clerk, devoting full
time to the careful discharge of his duties.
But II the World will send commits
sioner TO Washington to investigate the
progress Of "reform,n THE REPUBLICAN,
will engage to show him good many curl
Gus and interesting cases. Among them
will be that Of a gentleman who had long
held position Of responsibility, requiring
varied and extensive technical knowledge,
at salary of $1,000. Some weeks ago this
official was reduced to n nine hundred dol
lar clcrkship, but was not relieved of his
duties. His salary and rating on the rolls
were given to protege of awealthy west
ern gentleman who had signed the bond Of
the head of the bureau.
The appointec, when we last heard from
him, was engaged In business having no
connection with the public service, and the
gentleman whose salary and rank he had
taken was still filling the old place at 5000
year.
We hope the World will show as much en-
terprise In the investigation OF 'reform" at
the national capital as 1t displayed in hunt
ing for the President in the Adirondacks.

Greatness is generally accorded just ap
probation in the commercial emporium OF
the United states-if 1t comes from Eng
land. It having been the happy fortune of
Jumbo to be dOmiciled in London for some
years prior to his arrival in this country,
the press OF New York is disp )sed to do full
justice to his memory.
Editor Dana, of the Sun, pauscs for a
moment in his rapt contemplation Of "the
great fraud" to shed tear aud TO remark
that che was indeed great, and, although
he had not always been good, his couclu1-
ing years were sober and correct and pat
terms Of colossal rectitude."
Editor Pulitzer, NJ. G.. who was engage
in packing wheat and garden seeds for his
constituents when the news OF Jumbo's
fate reached the World office, told Col
Cockrell to "give the old fellow good send
or" and Col. G. compllantly wrote that
'the death of the giant elephant may moi
eclipse the gayety of nations, but his de.
cease will be deplored."
Editor Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune, is
less generous than his Democratic contem
| poraries, but has 10 hard words for the
dead. He says that "Jumbo Is not believed
TO have possessed any other claim to re
spectful attention than consisted in hi
enormous size.n
The theological editor of the Herald, IL
obedience to orders from Mr.. Bennett-sent
Of course 'by the Mackcy- Bennett cable''-
wrote: "The nation mourns Jumbo dead
We are fond of every big thing, and, as al
elephant, Jumbo satisfied ournational crav
ing. The English owned him for while
but the tendency of everything tremendou
Is toward the United States, so Jumbo
crossed the ocean to study the peculiaritlc
of a republic"
1t is not improbable that the children o
Washington may have an opportunity t,
renew their acquaintance with jumbo

II is a waste Of wind for Democratic Or
ganG to prate of what is going to be done
under Democratic administration In the
way of building up new navy.
Neither the Democratic administration
nor the Democratic House, nor both COM
bined, can get single nickel for navy
without the consenting vote of the Repub-
lican Senate.
And unless the Navy Department gives
better evidence of capacity to build ships
than has yet been indicated by Secretary
Whitney, the Senate will not be justified in
placing millions at his disposal for that pur-
pose.
The course of the Secretary in relation to
the four ships included in the Roach con-
tracts has met the decided disapproval of
the country, for reasons too well known 10
require restatement.
AS to the new ships provided for by the
last Congress, 1t is enough TO say that a
Secretary who creates board to furnish
plans for vessels of "the highest at
tainable speed" and does noS deem II
necessary to have an engineer on that
board, cannot command the confidence OF
the Senate in his fitness for the work OF
"building up navy"

The Mullen Case.

that Lieut.. Mullen, Of the Cincinnati POI

men and locked them up on the night before

BY the confession Of Mullen, the tcstl-
