AN AMERICAN FAIR.

Next year certainly the American Ex-
hibition is to open in London. Think of
it. Fifty years ago the idea of England
considering anything made in America
worthy of attention would have then been
deemed preposterous. Now the greatest
of nations beyond the seas makes it its care
to prepare for monster exhibition where
only American products are to be shown.
Next May, in Earls Court, Kensington,
the exhibition will open. The site con-
sists of twenty-five and half acres of
ground. The main building, of iron and
glass, is to be a third of mile in length,
and will cover ten acres. There are to be
American workshops, gardens for Ameri-
can flowers and vegetables, mills for Amer
lean grains, booths for American bever-
ages, music from American bands, races by
American horses. sports by American ath-
letes factories for American machinery,
galleries for American art, and so on to
the end of prodigious chapter. Such an
exhibition must do great good-have broad
and benefcent results. The display of our
products and manufactures and arts in
England, in an exclusive exhibition, can
not but result in material benefit to our
trade abroad, and command for us over
the Atlantic greater respect and higher
esteem. The commonest sentiment of ma
tonal pride should stir us up to great
activity in availing of this offer of Eng
land to hold an American fair.

SCHOOL THEATRICALs.

The Oregonian is at war with local edu-
catonal authorities about school theatre
Gals. The paper objects vigorously to the
employment of scholars in dramatic per-
formances toraise money for school-building
purposes, and its cause is righteous one.
1t says, for instance:
People look upon such pretty spectacles as
that afforded by The Princess" performance,
and in admiration of it forget how dear is the
cost They do not realize that the beauty of the
toilettes the drill and all that goes to make up
the charm of the show stand for time, money
and energy wasted; that the more efficient the
children are IN this sort of thing the less eff
cient they must be i'll the legitimate business of
the school. They do not reflect that after this
grand public occasion school Will seem dull to
the children, and its tasks tedious drudgery.
They do not reflect that in these public appear
ances the children are acquiring tastes which,
in some cases at least, will make their whole
after lives wretched.
Very true. 1t will be remembered that
Madame de Maintenon fell into trouble
from a like cause She had the "toy Con-
vent " school of st. Cyr at heart. 1t grew
out of her wish to aid the daughters of
noble houses gone to decay. Her school
was richly endowed, and practical and
religious education was available by
poverty-stricken pupils free until they
were 20, and then a marriage dover was
secured to them All went well, until in
an evil moment the girls were given some
of the lesser plays of Racine and Corneille
for exercise in dramatic defamation.
" Esther" was finally written for them,
and they played it SO well that the no.
bility of France struggled for admission to
the "show." The result was demoraliz-
ing, and only by the most rigid discipline
and total abandonment of the school
drama was the institution saved from the
dangers of childish taste for the stage.
The example may not parallel the schools
of this country, but human nature is much
the same to-day as in 16S9 Despite the
sixty nuns, the King and Maintenon, the
st. Cyr school was we'll nigh broken down
by the school drama, just as any school
will be to-day when the minds of the
scholars are drawn from study to this false
recreation.

colonized the Atlantic coast going stead
lily on, we believe with fiske that the fu-
ture of this nation is so stupendous as to
almost exhaust the powers of speculation.
That there exists crime, corruption, wrong
and error, proves no failure of democratic
institutions. They have proven their
worth in three great wars, and were born
of contests, beside which the menace of the
present is nothing. We have demonstrated
the ability of free, self-goyerning people
to maintain such a system, to substitute the
arts of peace for the rule of the mailed
hand, to displace armed contention by le-
gal intervention, by arbitration and pacific
counsels. If we have grown fast and ex-
perience now its discomfJrts, it remains
that we have proven to the world the
strength OF Federal Union, the wisdom
of trust in the people, the equality of men
before the law, the supremacy of human
rights over the tyrannies of kings and
princes

French and university libraries and mu-
seums its several sections will fall The
public spirit that has heretofore animated
its possessor will probably influence him to
even make very considerable sacrifice to
have the collection remain in the State,
and be Kept intact as a library. San Fran
cisco ought to be able to raise the means to
purchase the library and add it to the
prospective museum of art, science, nat
ural history and literature which she is
assured will be soon founded there. To
suffer its deportation will be to consent to
great literary and historical loss 1t is
not at all probable that Mr. Bancroft ex-
poets to realize anything like the sum from
its disposal that its collection cost him.
Indeed, it would be difficult to tell exactly
what actual money value it represents,
since its cost was intimately mingled with
the travels he and his agents have pursued
in many parts in ascertaining, by personal
examination of records and localities, the
historical facts with which he is dealing in
his histories. 1t is to be hope1 that the
people of San Francisco will see their way
clear to the retention of the library in
their own city. If not, it might well be-
come matter for proper consideration
by the State. Add the $4,000 volumes in
the Bancroft library to the State Library,
and the latter collection will possess so
greatly enhanced value as to make it one
of the most noted libraries in the world.
Or the collection might be secured for the
States great educational center-the Uni
versity at Berkeley, where it would be
easily accessible to students of the State.
