inc new OfisADs Exposition SAID To De a
Financial Failure.
Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHINeToN, Jan. 2O.-It is stated in Con-
gressional circles that the management OF
the New Orleans Exposition is very greatly
dissp ointed at the success of the enter
prise. While the exhibition is even more
extensive and 6ner than was expected
the attendance is nothing like that
anticipated. 1t is hiuted that there wi / be
deficiency of large proportions in the ex-
penses of il unless the attendance is almsst
miIsculously lsrge hereafter, and that Con-
eress will be called upon TO make some OF
it good.
Southerners say the attractions at Wash
iDgton this winter have helped to make
the number Of visitors small, as
hundreds of thousands OF people South
want to visit this city either in March
OF later in the spring Thsa the hard times
everywhere have combined against the Ex-
position. But the greatest disappointment,
il is said, is the patronage coming from the
sections south Of the Ohio River.

Senator Jackson, of Tennessee, saws
the bill providing for national aid to ed
ucation will undoubtedly be passed by
the Senate, but that it is impossible to
decide what the House will do about if.
Senator Jackson is one of the warmest
advocates OF this great measure of Just
philanthropy, and his speech on the
snbject the past summer in Tennessee
was one Of the very ablest yet delivered
in behalfO of the measure.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
House will be as wise and appreciative
Of the Importance OF this bill as the SEN
ate, and so soon as it comes to that body
from the Senate, pass it at once.

The Virginia Legislature has adopted
unanimously joint resolution endors-
ing the Blair educational bill. There
are two points about this vote that make
it significant--yes, very significant 1t
was the vote OF Virginia, and unanimous
y expressed Not majority vote. but
not dissenting vote. The unanimous
voice OF old Virginia speaks out in favor
OF this measure OF justice to the South

1t seems success for these ,borers

working on and living from hand to

Nothing Is clearer than that the

Ihe SorIhfiaIti Sleeper.

NoRTHFIELD MINI, May 23.-The
unknown man who has been asleep at
the Central house in this city for Il
week past, awoke Oh Friday, and upon
inquiry as to how he came to be in this
condition, he said:
My name is Elisha Beshaw; am a
freachman, u years cid; have been
working in lumber camp near Ait
kin, Mimi, and left there about two
weeks ago and came to Minneapolis,
where | bought ticket for Montreal
Canada, my home. | boarded an out
going train supposing it to be the one
wanted, but upon riding a short dist
ance WAS informed that | was on the
wrong train, and | jumped while the
train was in motion, striking on my
head and thus injuring myself. | aft
erwards boarded another train bound
for Chicago, and kept feeling worse
and upon the arrival OF the train here
was unable TO continue further and
got of, and since then have been UNI
conscious, and have known nothing Of
what has been going on.
After being awake short time he
remembered of having some money
when going to sleep, and upon investi-
cation he found his handkerchief with
$435 rolled in it in the straw bed tick.
The patient is doing well, and the only
trouble now is to get him plenty OF
baefsteak and potatoes.

that Riel's camp is near Batoche's

1 Liberal Town.

The Town of Liberal, in Missouri,
was founded for the express purpose
Of showing VIII t u happy and pros
porous community could be formed by
rigidly excluding the idea Of God, re-
ligious worship and obligations, and
other tanets of religious people. Mr..
Robert Ingersoll's notions Of brother
hood, etc, were to be carried out in
full. The experiment has been in
operation five years. The town of
Liberal has only 500 inhabitants,
cheap buildings, scores Of vacant lots,
much deprecated property, three sa-
looms, many drunkards, much ours
ing, even among children, rowdy pub
lie meetings, no reverence for parents
or elders, much SANDER. The post
office is about to be moved to the
neighboring town Of Denison. A com
plete failure is Liberal Instead of
showing christians Transforming and
superior ethical system, and the para
disacal condition which can by an IN
idel community, pure and simple, the
Liberal folks have set forth nothing
desirable whatever. If the idea was
TO show the superiority Of inGdelity,
as a subduer of human deyilry yer
christianity, that attempt certainly
has been Il failure.
