WORLDS EXPOSITION.
am informed that OF the sum OF s. coo allotted 10

ton and Industrial Exposition now open at New
Orleans; but small portion remains for
the further use of the Commissioners OF our State
II can readily be conceived how Inadequate this
sum would be If full representation was made OF
IDdanas material and industrial forces. II is not
a display of fabrics and wealth 10 excite jealous
rivalry for superiority In methods OF production
resources, however varied or rich they may be.
1t is a Nations ambition uniting the arts and
sciences with the genius of advanced thinkers.

greatly benefited, for while the commerce OF
older countries shall bring thither their trophies
of handiWO skill and produces the spirit of our
development in agriculture, alone, Will seize
upon whatever may be distributed to our vast
and almost limiIleSS domain 20 the profit OF Amer
While other States have deemed it wise to add
to the sum thus allotted 10 them, If Is shall be
thought best TO the further and complete showing
OF lndiana's productive growth, industrial aud
mineral wealth. TO add to this sum in measure
sufficient only to make sure That we shall MOI fail
in standing where We rlghtully belong, second TO

feel is sufficient to commend it 70 yOur approval.
Il is the purpose. am informed, of the man
ayers OF this Worlds Exposition 10 invite the SOL
diers of the North ana South to come together ia
grand encampmnet in New Orleans.
To this end, understand large and sufficient
sum has been set apart. What more prOpitiOus
than this opportunity. the first since the war. ot
common country and ancestry, who, only few
years ago, stood aTraYed against each other in
batter If such meeting can be consummAted
| IA the fullness OF the spirit that prompts tue
movement, our country Will be closer knit.
! If the North shall send down her regiments
/ OF men, not she did twenty years
ago TO The sound OF martial drum beats
| but 10 the music oil 'piping times OF p saee,
nothing, believe, could so hrmly reunite the fsl
/ loWship born OF a common heritage. aud which
/ would give assurance that when the soldiers OF 4
Nation VINO have borne arms against escl other
can cone together as brothers. s,riie can never
/ again come between Us people.
| Ii statesmen have failed 20 accomplish what the
war assured the duty OF the hour would seem
naturally 20 belong 20 the soldiers, who stood for
their convictions at the lannon's mouth.
deem II therefore proper 10 call your attention

capacity Representatives Of this state, made IL
