first year and the first day of the Expo
sition. Order reigned every where,
within and without the building.
Those who had visited the busy scene
a week or ten days ago AID returned
Yesterday, are willing to beliye that the
age of miracles has not come To- an end.
In general effect this exposition will
compare favorably with any enterprise
of similar character ever consummatea
by an American city. The art depart
ment is exceptionally attractive, ard is
in perfect order. 1t was thronged yes
terday and will be constantly revisited.
The Bierstadt room was especially ap-
preciated, and the much-discussed
casts were by no means Stunned by
people whose claims TO responsibility
have never been questioned. The cere-
monies of the day were graced by dis
tinguished visitors, and the machinery
was set in motion by the invisible hand
of Mrs. Cleveland. The Grafton by ex-
Gov. Cushman X. Davis was worthy of
the occasion. The attendance yester-
day was very large, auguring well for
the financial success Of the Exposition.
The Nicollet avenue illumination last
evening attracted tens of thousands;
and such street scene has never been
witnessed in the Northwest. Mime
apolis particularly invites the whole
world to attend the Exposition.

THE attention Of Major Adams. OF
the Second regiment, having been
called to the telegram in tie Pioneer
Press, which accredited him with pro-
nouncing the call for the Aberdeen en-.
campment illegal, that officer writes to
Governor Pierce that he simply stated
in reply to question that he under
stood the law to require thirty days
notice. and that the first he knew OF the
dispatch was when his attention was
called To il i'm the Pioneer Press, and
that it was sent without his advice,
knowledge or consent. The Major
added: Il DO not wish To be understood
as interfering i'll any manner with the
power delegated To my superior officers,
and assure you, governor, that the
time and place of holding our encamp-
ment will make no difference to me.
When YOU call out the Dakota national
guard while have the honor Of belong
ing to them, whether at Territorial
encampment or for any other purpose,
the major of the Second regiment will
be there. ready to do his duty and obey
orders" The telegram alluded to has
been a source of considerable annoy
ance and has called forth some harsh
criticism, but the major makes amends
handsomely that all should be forgiven.

a SIOUX CITY telegram reads as fol-
lows: The saloon men feel their time
has come. They say they will close up,
but will make Sioux City dull town"
This is needful threat. There could
be hardly ANYTHING worse threatened
western town. TO be dull is the
one sad end against which we all are
struggling. But we are somewhat
puzzled to know what the s.iloonkeepers
meant or how they are to bring upon
Sioux City this shocking fate.
Does the industrial and business life
of that city center in its saloons? Were
these places all closed would there be
no business carried on? Will there be
no real estate soldp Is the vicinity of a
saloon necessary to give value to a
town lot there? Do farmers bring their
produce TO that market simply because
there whisky is sold?
Will the railroads centeri NC there
take up their tracks and pass the city
by if their officials and employees have
no opportunity TO get drinkr
1t must be the demand for dry goods
and groceries is small in that town;
but suppose all the earnings which
have heretofore been spent in the sa-
looms 90 for the necessities of life is this
what is going to make dull town.
Perhaps money circulates better after
passing through a saloon, and legiti-
mate business thrives when gamblers
are busy.
Possibly they mean by dull town a
town with no sensations, no murders, no
street rows, no suicides. This would
be unwanted dullness in Sioux City.
and what would the daily papers do?
Is it the homes of Sioux City would
be ''dullp" There VIII surely be fewer
anxious wives in them, fewer tears be
shed il the old patrons OF the saloons go
home sober every night.
If fathers spend their evenings at
home with their children instead Of
over the gambling table. will this be
dull?
Thy sound Of revelry may cease on
the streets, but if there be music and
| laughter in the homes?
If for every light that goes out be-
hind the gay saloon window, brighter
one shines in the cottage Of the laborer.
If the men of good brains and kind
heart who have been losing all self
respect and love for their kind in this
saloon business, 60 to work: adding by
their labor to the wealth OF that COM
munity. gladdening instead of sadden-
ing human hearts. Will this make
Sioux City dull town?
Then God speed the day.

The Exposition opening yesterday
was in all respects the brilliant affair

Everybody was more than satisfied, and
the Exposition season has been in
augerated in manner that gives as
hrance Of complete and extraordinary
success. From certain hints as to the
unreadiness Of exhibits which the pa
pers have contained, many persons had
inferred that the enterprise might be
found in some such incomplete condi-
ton as the New Orleans exposition in
its opening days. But they were hap.
PLY disappointed. They found almost
nothing to suggest that this was tie

he is awakening strong backing in

to expect solid vote from the Black
