WASHINGTON, JULY 70, 1888.

The CHICAGO Times of July 5, de-
votes considerable editorial space to
the proposed "Three Americas" Ex-
position of 1892, and in the most ap.
proving tone, setting forth its plans
and objects at length and with great
accuracy and clcarness. The article
closes with the following pertinent
paragraph:
The movements one in which all Americans
should take lively interest, and II may
prove very useful, as well as interesting. II
may, at least, serte to teach our economists
who talk spread-eagle nonsense about a
''hemispherical policy" why IL Is that the
countries of this hemisphere buy the most of
their manufactured goods In Europe in pref
erepce TO the United States.
TO state the question otherwise and
not at all in partisan sense, the
effect Of such an exposition as is CON
templated will be not only to stimu-
late interstate commerce in the
United States and international COM
merce between the several nations of
the Western Continent, but to adver-
tise TO the world such a wealth of
product and resource as will necessa-
rily and naturally force greater re-
ciprocity of trade, open new markets
and result in a more equitable sys-
TEN of commercial distribution.
What in the contentious of politics
is likely never TO be done towards
remedying the evils of over-produc-
tion and giving the United States her
proper place as q maritime power, can
hardly fail to be consummated through
the influence of great International
Exchange at Washington, represent
ing the practical progress and best
energies Of the New World and its
material development in all branches
of art, industry and science.
Of the educational, as well as com.
mercial value of such an Exposition,
very much is also to be said. 1t were
impossible to say too much, because
the subject is illimitable.

TIE New EoRR Sun having stated
some days ago that General Harrison
ought to be beaten because he favors
civil Service examinations Of the
Chinese pattern" is beset with in
quiries as to why the same grave OBJ
lection does not ,exist in the case of
President Cleveland. It's explanation
is this, but it is not entirely ingenious
or satisfactory:
There is a great difference in the two cases.
Harrison still stands by the civil service con.
Germ, and II he should be elected would un.
doubtedly put II In practice so far as the law
and the representatives Of the people would
allow. Cleveland, on the other hand, kicked
overheard the whole institution when he
wrote his celebrated letter to Colonel Eel
lows. Harrison is an unconverted sinner,
but Cleveland has seen the error of his ways
and has become sincere believer in old
fashioned Democratic politics.
The recent enlargement or extern
sion of the "Chinese system" does
not exactly comport with this theory.
Mr.. Cleveland may be none the less
sincere in his Democratic beliefs, but
as long as the System" prevails it is
bound to handicap the administration.

BY THE MEREsT ACCIDENT a murder
by shooting was prevented in this
city yesterday, and the case brings
forcibly to every one the dangerous
practice of carrying concealed
weapons. We have laws against it,
which are so notoriously unenforced
as TO become mere farces expressed in
legal verbiage, and public sentiment
should be aroused until the indi-
vidual who goes about with pistol in
his pocket should be looked upon rs
suspected criminal and a person to be
avoided by all law-abiding, re-
spectacle people. There might have
been time when to carry weapons
in this country was necessary, but
that time has gone out upon the plains
among the cowboys, desperadoes and
Indians, and should no longer have
recognition among people where there
are laws and officers paid to enforce
them. Especially should this be true
of the very Capital of the Nation, the
supposed centre of its highest adj
yancement and most enlightened de-
velopment The pistol as a means of
defense is not needed, and as a means
of offense its pernicious activity should
be restricted by the severest penalties
of the law and social condemnation.

SQUIRREL HUNTING. :
How to Shoot, where. to Ffnd and When
 to Hunt Poor Bunny.


 Among the ,knlo1N1iffiigg Aifpters it is a saying that when the hickory leaves in the spring: have come to the size of squirrels ears: the young animals are just. large enough for the shooting to begin. Early in the morning, when the sky is clear and the air pleasant, is the best part of the day for our sport; the young squirrels will then be out nibbling the fragrant buds and tender sprays at the ends of the branches and their flesh will be at Its | best.
 To make your game available for the table you must shoot it in the | head, which is a feat not as easy as writing about it. It is said that in old days when ammunition was very eX- pensive and parents quite just the father used to deal out to the son a dozen bullets and as many measures of powder with the understanding that if one squirrel for each charge expended were not forthcoming. the unfortunate young marksman received round thrGshing with the ramrod, and if any one of the animals killed were hit oth- erWfse than. in the head the shooter forfeited his share of the neat Doubt less this will be proved to be myth when some German scholar comes to examine it a thousand years hence.
 Meantime let us go to inc woods and have one more day with the squirrels. It will. be sport worth rememb bering when we are old. Sling on the old pouch and powder-horn and shoulder the long, heavy weapon of Daniel Boone. The day is breaking; the sun will soon be up. Hark! Do you hear that peculiar cry! "Quack! quack! quack! qua-a-a-ar'' is the way it sounds, repeated with rather spiteful rapidit, in the midst of the greening spring grove. This is our game uttering his challenge. See yonder he is, standing upright on a bough and keeping time to his voice by shaking his bushy tail.
 l grant you the shot Inote your way of managing the heavy old piecd. You bring it to your shoulder and rest the barrel against the bole of tree. You set the hair-triggcr and pull back the hammer You are now ready 10 take aim. Carefully you so direct the barrel that the silver fore sight appears to settle into the fine notch of the sfeel hind-sight, while at the same time the head of the squirrel barely appears above both; then you touch the trigger and there follows sputter, a flash, and 8 sharp. whip like crack. The squirrel tumbles down. Ah, sec you are quite worthy of your ancestry. will take breakfast with you if votipleass. -Ms~rtce Thompson. in N r GraDhic.

 Dr. J. A. S. Grant Bey. of Cairo, Egypt has spent twenty-five years in the land of the Pharaohs and speaks all the languages of that polyglot country.

The doctor cer- tainly presented an Oriental appear ance. wearing, a-Turkish 'fez jauntily perehed upon. his large head. For wears he has devoted his time to the study of archaeology and has amassed enough Egyptain gods, from Horus and Osiris down, to nearly fill the Metropolitan Museum of Art The mummies of Egypt, he said, were now iirt cheap, owning to recent dis eoveries.
