stacles are encountered, the grounds

most perfect condition save in ma
chinery hall, 1t is scarcely advisable
to come here before that date. In
work of such phenomenal proper
tions, crowded within in the limited
time of twelve months, anything like
order on the day of formal opening
was to not to be expected. A very
serious problem has been encounter
ed that could only be met through
the tireless vigilance, indomitable en-
ergy and sagacious prudence OF Direc-
tor General Burke, viz: with less
means by two thirds than were con
sumed in the preparation of the Phil
adelphia centennial, the managers
have been compelled to provide ac-
comodation for the largest collection
of home and foreign exhibits ever
displayed at one time in the world.
The main building presents such an
agglomeration of inustrial products
from every quarter of the globe as
will probably not be witnessed again
in America for quarter Of a century.
So much is shown in every branch Of
science, art, mechanics and manu-.
factures that no man or woman can
afford to remain away. If there
were no more to see than the exhi-
bits in the government building, it
would be worth q trip around the
world to examine them. All the de-
partmepts at the National Seat of
Government have forwarded and in
stalled vast labyrinths of interesting
and instructive objects. All the
States and Territories have sent rare
collections of their resources in such
abundance and diversity as 30 aston
ish even the best informed men.
The foreign exhibits are wonder
fully attractive. The beautiful Horti-
cultural Hall is heavily stored with
the richest fora Of the tropics. The
Art Hall is about finished and lam as
sured the paintings, now here, will
make an unusual array of foreign
and domestic art. All the annexes
are commodious and we'll filed. The
the grounds are charming, / have
no hesitation in saying in all material
respects this will be the greatest ex-
hibition ever held.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
on the completion of their task the
managers find themselves face to face
with a shortage of 100000 in their
requirements. They have made the
funds at their disposal go a great way.
That the amount has not been ade-
quate is wholly the fault Of the peo-
pie whose demands for space have
necessitated the building of such
enormous structures and the installa-
ton Of such gigantic system of ex-
hibits. am confident that in less
than week the deficit will be made
up and the last drawback thus re-
moved.
I am glad Of the opportunity to
testify to the excellent management,
the untiring zeal, the fidelity to trust,
the determined public spirit, the self.
sacrifice of every member of the
Board of Managers. To Director
General Burke the country owes a
debt of gratitude. He has hazardsd
his life in faithful discharge Of the
deep responsibility put upon him
To his patriotism, daring, persever-
ance and deep-seated love Of coun-
try, more than to all else, the nation
owes the consummation Of this mas
terly achievement.

Our Exposition Letter.

NEW OhtEANss LA.s can' ous Aoo4'
Interest in the exposition grows
apace day by day. Those who come
appreciate the fact that the manage
ment is doing all in its power to &C
celerate matters. The more one sees
the more it is realized the greatness
of such an undertaking now nearing
completion in every detail. There il
little space in any department moi
occupied by exhibitors.
| Live stock arrives by every train
for the grand show in that line to bt
had here this season. Of the siA
stables capable of holding thousand
head, two are already filed with
thoroughbreds.- elegant race
track or drive has been graded half 9
mile in an oblong circle. 1t is To-
Gated between the stables and govern
ment building. f
Amusements are plenty in the city
and on the outskirts. They are sc
diversified that the fancies of all car
be suited as to styles and prices.
Excursions are coming into numer-
GUS display. They will probably
continue all the season. Parties can
go up or down the river at reasonable
charges. Railroads are doing big
passenger traffic now. Cars are 30
C, DIVIDED as not only to necessitate
additional ones but extra trains.
Owing to the fruit on exhibition
spelling SO fast, it will be necessary
for commissioners to have fresh cases
from their respective states and ter.
ritories every two months. However
it has been wonderfully preserved,
considering the recent wet weather.
Handkerchief making in Main
building seems to attract the visitor
as mich as any other branch of man
ufacturlng. They are made of the
finest silk and any style according
to order.
Some of the oldest and wealthiest
manufacturing establishments iu the
world as well as similar houses of
trade are represented at this expo
sition.

Some years ago one Of Mr.. LELASD's farm

almost intolerable. Tho leg became enor-

SOME TINE ago THE HERALD noted
that when a committee of the Milwau.
hee Young Mems Christian Association
set out to obtain subscriptions for the
erection of hall, the first two sub
scribers were brewers, whose contribu-
tions were generously large. We init
mated then that trouble might arise
over the acceptance of the money of
the wicked. The trouble has now
come. 4 Baptist minister of Milwau-
kee, Rev. Reed. has opened on the
Association in most vigorous manner.
denouncing its course, as scandalous,
unchristianIike and mercenary. He
calls the brewers contributions blood
money, and the members of the Y. Nc.
A. hypocrites and co-partners in crime
with the brewers and saloon keepers.
He prays and urges them to return the
money and save their characters and
souls. Solar the Association has been
wise enough TO hold on to the money,
but Milwaukee is reported as being all
broken up by the ministerial assaults
and Christian society is fast being di-
vided into clioues and classes which
threaten to disrupt the churches and let
Old Nick run the religious business in
his peculiar way.

len YEARS ago, or such a matter the
Democratic newspapers both north and
south were making it decidedly interest
ing and lively for d. H. Chamberlain
then Governor for South Carolina. He
was guilty of any amount of political
meanness, and what he wasn't guilty of
he was charged with. OF late years
Chamberlain has been steadily coming
round" and is now well clear of the
Republican party whose willing tool he
once was. The other day he was inter
viewed in Boston by the Aduertiser, on
the political situation, when he said he
considered President Cleveland 1.-THE
bravest man who has sat in the chair
since Lincoln" and that the Democra-
tic party stands better on most public
questions than the Republican party.
When asked what he calls himself, he
answered:
Never mind names. Mugwump is good
enough, Independent is perhaps better
but confess drought the Advertiser had a
neat and descriptive word, he other ay,
Tor US, non Democrats only would ada
non Republicans too"

THE EXHIBITORS who were awarded
medals at the New Orleans Exposition
are not entirely happy, and yet they
should be both content and well pleased.
The cause of their trouble is that the
medals are not forthcoming, but when
they write about it they are informed
that they can obtain the baubles when
ever they forward the money to nav for
them. The letters run like this: medal
has not yet been issued, and it is very
doubtful when (if ever it will be. We
enclose. postals with printed prices of
medals-gold and silver = which you
can get i'll lieu>of the bronze, providing
you do not want to wait for the latter"
1t is not every exposition from which
the exhibitor can have the choice of his
medal, hence those who sent goods to
New Orleans ought to be happy because
of this generous concession. The cost
of medal is as nothing compared to

MALICIOUS ACCUSATIONS.

1t is both ridiculous and wicked to
charge the Sunday morning outrages
upon ANYBODY, with anything like de
fniteness. as some of our contempor-
aries are doing. If one knows enough
about the affair and its perpetrators to
be able to say who did it, he knows
enough to make the accusation othcl-
aUv. and convict the guilty. II he
doesn't4now so much, his charges are
simnIv malicious ISLANDERS, for which he
should be punished So far as it pos
sesses facts upon which to allege that
the crime was committed by known
parties. the Tribune would be as consist
ent in charging the Methodists or Pres
bvterians with the deed, as i'll laying 1t
to the AIormons; indeed, there is better
reason for believing that others than
Mormons are guilty OF the outrage than
that the Saints were its authors. A man
does not knowingly butt his head
against stone wall with the view to re-
leving himself of headache, but men
sometimes do mean things when they
expect others wilt be blamed.
There is one point upon which all are
agreed-that a cowardiy, beastly outrag2
has been perpetrlted; and there is
another about which there's no dispute
among intelligent, fair-minded men
that the names of the guilty are known
only to themselves and those who have
not yet thought proper to make them
public. There is another thing upon
which all should agree, and that is that
It is the duty of every good citizen to
use his best endeavor to learn who the
scoundrels are and bring them to
Justice. If all will work to that end.
omeshing may be accomplished, but if
one party refuses to admit that it is pos
sible any of its own membess are guilty,
and another party refuses to listen to
the suggestion that anybody training
with 1t did the deed, the work OF dis
covering the culprits Will be doubly
difficult and puzzling. This saddling
of the crime upon Mormons, whether
or no, without admitting the possibility
of Others being guilty, has already lost
one of the most promising chances of
catching the miscreants. The victims
OF the outrage, without sufficient
cause. first assumed that Mormons
were their assailants, and then that
Mormon police officers would not try
to detect and punish their co-religion-
ists, and acting upon these wrongful
assumptions kept the police in blissful
ignorance of the crime for twelve
hours. when the chances of catching
the rascals were Iessened By every
minute that the officers were held with
ont knowledge of the occurrence. One
thing is absolutely certain, namely,
that the Mormons have manifested the
more enterprise and anxiety in the
matter of finding the scoundrels, and
the police have done and are doing all
that the most determined, energetic
and intelligent officers could do to find
the miscreants.
Individuals and newspapers will dis
play better sense and less venom by
admitting that they are ignorant ofwho
did the deed, and acknowledging that
there is little ground for charging the
crime against any party, sect or society.
