One Show That Makes MONEY.

hear that Buffalo Bills season is drawing to
a close down on Staten Island, NJ Y, and its
vicinity certainly never before saw such wholly
remarkable event in the amusement line as has
been demonstrated by this entertainment The
show came to Staten Island in the early spring,
intending to remain fortnight, or possibly four
weeks. 1t has stayed in one spot all summer,
and might undoubtedly remain until late into the
fall, If the managers did not desire TO take ad-
vantage of some stirring opportunities to draw
very big money elsewhere and, at the same
time, work their way South. The Wild West
performance has been given twice daily, once in
the afternoon and once in the evening, and the
audiences have ranged, on an average, between
5000 and 200 people The profits arising from
such attendance have. of course, been enormous

been necessary to incur any of the expenses of

this magnitude. The Wild West is owned in

$4,000 piece on this summers business.
This, OF course is over and above
the money that will be made by Eras-
tus Wiman, who owns the grounds upon
which the show is given, and who also controls
the steamboats, taking people down from New
York to Staten Island and back again. The in
crease of this transportation business, by means
of the Wild West show, has been tremendous,

State Fair.

70 the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal.
AS our fair approaches it becomes evident that
space in which exhibitors can display their arti-
ces will be so very limited that it should be care
fully economical, and each exhibitor should be
limited in proportion to the demand. Ii the
management allows few greedy and designing
persons to monopolize the little room at its COM
mand because they may have as much at some
other time regardless of the interests of others
or present demands. or merely because they fear
competition and are thus allowed to thwart it,
they will annul the purpose of such displays by
occupying the space with second class articles
that are we'll known to have been purchased for
the purpose, if they are not the productions of
those thus crowded out and whom they fear to
compete with. THos j. BRYANT.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal
There is not man in the city of Indianapolis
who does not know that Sunday is the only day
on which the laboring men could have had their
demonstration. Not that they would not will
ingly loose days work. but that they could not
be spared from their work. ALL the industries
of this city not stop on one day. A few min-
listers are making mountain out of mole HILL
and talking about their rights Who have
more rights than the churches-property free
from taxation and free begging privileges in the
city. There were hundreds of men IN the pro.
cession of Sunday who would not be offered a
seat in these churches. and If they found one
would only be noticed when the contribution
box was passed All people cannot be
made to see and think alike in
this country. and the day will never come when
the church, or any other body, can Caesar it
over the whole people. The wealthy have their
carriages, excursions. summer resorts, etc. the
poor man has Sunday, only for his own
and his family's enjoyment. If he can get
pleasure ont of it. he has that right,
providing. always that he keeps within the
law. Not all laboring men Endorsed the
dancing at the picnic grounds, but minister
ever saw better behaved crowd at a Sunday
camp meeting than was at the Exposition grounds
on Sunday Not drop of liquor was sold on
the ground, either, let me inform the gentleman
who sew some one drunk in large city on the
same day Tor night of a labor parade. Let me
inform HIM, also, that they accomplished as
much by their demonstration as the political
parties do by similar doings w. H.Y.
