A Popular Project.

The Permanent Exposition is on OF the
most popular projects ever started In this
country, judging from the friendly com
ments of the press, merchants and manu-
facturers, members of Congress, and others.
The legislature Of Maryland has already
Endorsed II as an enterprise Of great practl-
cal Importance. The Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, Of Baltimore, has
unanimously recommended II TO the busi-
ness men Of their city and state.
The Baltimore Sun and american are also
giving it cordial support. The press of
Washington, both daily and weekly, are
doing their part toward its promotion, in
which work they have the friendly opera
tion Of prominent journals throughout the
United States.
Several foreign ministers residing here
have spoken Of it in terms of high com
mendation, and will do all they can to help
make it brilliant success. Its leading
object being to develop more intimate
social, industrial, commercial, and political
relations between the several nations of the
three Americas, it is In accord with the
numerous bills of similar nature intro
duced in the Senate and House during the
present session.
In brief, the project is so popular that
four other American cities are already in
the field to secure It.
We trust, therefore, that Congress will
at once provide joint select committee fol-
a consideration of its merits. Public opln.
ion will sustain them In so doing, for the
country cares more just now for lndustrie,
and commerce than for mere partisan dis
cussion.

Democratic Infelicities.

The milk in the cocoanut belonging TO
the Dem ocratic party Of the District of Co
lumbia is curdled. Secretary Manning Sc
cured the appointment of colored resi-
dent Of lbany to the position OF recorder,
vacated by Fred. Douglass, and II has made
the Washington Democrats furious. They
wanted a Washington man appointed, and
Secretary Manning wanted James O. Mat
thews, Of Albany, appointed, and Mr.. Man
ming proved that he is greater at the execu-
tive mansion than is the combined Democ-
racy OF the District OF Columbia. His man
succeeded, and will probably stick. Now
II the President will appoint Washington
man as postmaster at Albany 1t will equalize
things and bring gentle peace to the rufiled
tion at the capital. 1t is evident now that
the ratio Of the popularity of Matthews will
increase according to the square of the dis
tance which he occupies from Washington.

THE le tier from Count de Lesseps, which
we publish this morning, is in reply to an
article and map pointing out rail highway
across the isthmus Of Tehuantepec, in au-
tagonism to the ship railway and Panama
canal schemes, which appeared in the for.
eign and consular edition of the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. We still think 1t will require
the financial aid of the French government
to construct the canal, and il constructed
the floods OF the Chagres river will sooner
or later defeat tie enterprise. We, how
ever, admire the self-reliance and indom-
liable energy of this venerable and wonder
full man. AS citizen he is the pride of the
French people, and has accomplished a
great work for the commercial world in the
construction OF the Suez canal.

Still the Hub.

Few cities could produce such another
pair OF readers as stood on the historic plat
form of the Old South Thursday night.
And they bad an audience worthy OF their
best efforts, James Russell Lowell and
oliver Wendell Holmes. What team
Rival 1t, New York, with your millions and
your milllonaires rival 1t Chicago, with
your enterprise and your anarchists f; Phil
adelphia, with your north OF Market street
aristocracy We need not mention them
all, but we have them on the list. Boston
is still the literary hub OF the country, aud
that is more to be desired than popula-
ton OF 100000.

THE Louisiana bargain and sale, as en-
gineered by Hon. L. j. Gay, sugar planter
and sugar merchant, to give protection to
sugar and free trade to wool, should be re-
buked by every friend of the American pro-
tective policy by placing sugar on the free
list. Sugar and molasses produced from
cane raised above the frost line do not
average ''sweet" more than two years out
of three. Most people dislike sour sugar
and bitter molasses.

THE tariff bill, which is to be reported to
the House to-day, is an administration
measure, adroltly framed with view to
placate Mr.. Randall and his associates, and
also the sugar protectlonists. AS is well
said by the Republican minority Of theways
and means committee, "The bill is born Of
party necessity; 1t is here because the Dem
ocratic party is here In control. The peo-
pie of the country are not asking for it, 1t
is in response to no public sentiment or ma
tional requirement, 1t will help no Amer

of the labor troubles than in the reduction
of customs dues. Keep your ear to the

THERE is no city In the country which is

PEELED to come down town at great lncon-

ONE cause OF labor strikes in this country
is the increase Of population and the de-
crease in the per capita supply of money,
as illustrated by the effect upon capital of
the gradual and prospective retirement of
the national bank note. Moral: The Sec

coinage of the silver dollar to the maximum
allowed by law.
