THE EXPOSITION AND THE PRESS.

Yesterday was the third day Of the
Exposition. and. as on the two days pre-
vious, it was visited by large number
OF persons, all of whom were unanimous
in their expressions Of delight and com
mendation. There Is no longer any
doubt of the success Of the Exposition
rs fair The display is one which sets
forth the vast and varied resources
animal, vegetable mineral and indus
,dal-of Virginia to great advantage,
and reflects the highest credit upon all
concerned The result should be Of in
calculabe benefit to the old State in in
ducing capital to come within her Dor
ders to develop her natural industries,
and healthy immigration to build up her
waste places and now barren lands.
The great question at present to be
considered is will the Exposition be as
great a success financially as otherwise %
Should the attendance be as large during
the remainder of its existence as has been
the case so far, it will; but will that be
so? Certainly up TO this time, there is
reason to fear It will not, for the influx
of strangers 10 the city has been by no
means so large as was hoped or expected,
and unless this experience changes the
end must be disastrous. Neither the
city OF Richmond nor the State of Vir-
ginia alone can be relied on TO defray
the great expense to which The manage
ment has gone to make this re ally grand
Exposition the success it has proven.
The trouble in question may be obvi-
ated within the next few days. The
railroads have consented 10 reduce their
rates, and this will undoubtedly have a
good effect. A great many also are pro
baby waiting for everything TO be in
perfect running order, and the second
week may, therefore, be considerable
improvement on the first.
These are, however, mere suggestions.
The management should not trust to
their being realized, but should spare no
effort &c make assurance double sure d.
The most certain way to accomplish this
is by adopting the suggestion already
made In the TIMEs-to set apart day
specially for the press, TO be known as
"Press Day" a suitable headquarters
should be secured and comfortably fitted
up. The representatives. of the leading
papers Of the country, especially OF
the North and West, should be
invited and as favorable an impression
as possible made on them BY this
means the Exposition, would be more
thoroughly and cheaply advertised than
in any other way, and the good effects
would speedily be demonstrated. At
lanta adopted such course at Ter
Cotton Exposition, and to it much Of
the success Of that display was attribu-

The RICH AND The POOR.

There Is no getting rid OF tue ia"' '"''
under the alleged blessed dispensalion OF
Protection the rich have gotten richer
and the poor have gotten poorer IL
there is anything IN political economy
applied TO a free country the work and
the brain and the capital ought TO be so
arranged That logical results will follow
We have stated constantly the funda-
mental principle, viz: That labor should
have rs wages, capital its Interest, and
It's organizing and managing power lis
proft. The high tariff destroys and para
Ives the action of this principle, scause
il creates an arbitrary market controlled
By pure abstract rule instead of pin
eiple.
The American people are fJrcedto buy
lumber, sugar, ssi, clothes and other
necessary articles at a price fixed by law,
instead Of price arranged naturally by
supply and demand
We are surrounded by Chinese wal,
which charges tolls on all the things we
want. on the ground that our native peo-
ple must be allowed The high privilege Of
taxing consumers foTty-dye per cent.
The people who gather the benefit OF this
tax on the necessary articles OF life are
small minority, so when the proposition
becomes a political issue we naturally
ask whether it is good aud sound De.
mocracy 10 let The minority rule at the
rate Of fcrty.fye per cent. perqulsites
If the masses of the people had not been
blinded by the Republican policy Of pre-
iudice and sectional hate they would
have seen long ago that they are
tyrannically oppressed, and hat the
system Of taxation IS not 20 support gov
eminent, but merely to pamper monop-
oly. The prohibilory import duties
force the American citizen TO buy only
homemade goods, and he has to take the
"shoddy" manufactures because the
good article is taxed beyond the reach
of anybody but The rich man. Our neigh
Dor, the Canadian, gets better clothing
for third or half less than we pay for
an inferior article.
All the time the surplus revenue Of the
Government increases and the Republi-
cans spend their time in devising schemes
for wasting il, instead Of stopping the
collection Of these war taxes maintained
in time Of peace.
The present platform Of the Demo-
cratic party is living and burning issue
against the policy Of war taxes, not for
war, but to foster the tyrannical privi-
leges of an aristocracy more arbitrary
and merciless than that Of the Feudal
barons
Perhaps the people may not under
stard IL now, but they certainly will in
short time, and the indications are that
the war taxes must at least be reduced or
the war party will be beaten.

PfCKETT's MEN.

The monument to General Pickett
that was unveiled yesterday is a iesti-
monial TO one Of the most gallant spirits
of the war, but the dedication was like
thai familiar illustration of monument
to a hero 80 which every man contributed
stone. The Virginia Division" is q
solid monumental block in the history of
the war. The soldiers, from the gallant
commander down to the private in the
ranks were typical Of the character Of
our people.
They never flinched in danger, nor did
they ever whine for want n ratioDs, but
proud in their manhood and courage
took the sunshine aud the storm with the
splendid good nature and frank manhood
that mark the highest type Of the eau
cassian
General Corse and General Terry
Colonel Marye and other officers Of the
division were present.
These men are still here, the survivors
OF the Lost Cause" and to do them
honor is to cultivate the sentiment that
Robert Lee made immortal Ewhen he
said that the whole motive OF life was
duty.

Sea Serpent in Sight.

demonstrate the existence of the sea
serpent. lie says he has often dis.

Baird and his associates of the United

while not willing to accept the ser.
pent idea, fully agreed that there
might bel monster Of some kind

by Mr. Allen il the following, sworn,
to by his officers of the bark: eve,

and sincerely declare that, ON July I,

three large sperm whales, and one OF
tocm was gripl,e,l around the body
with two turns of what appeared to

and its girth was eight or nine feet.

a popular impression has existed
for u number of years to tie effect
that during warm weather germs OF
microbes of contagious diseases have
been carried by. flies and mosquitoes,
thus assisting in tho spread of those
diseases. This impression has gone
abroad in spite of the fact that med.
ical science has never established its
truth. The subject was brought to
the attention of DIR. Ford, President
of the Board of Health, and also DR..
William NJ. Wclch, physician in charge
of the Municipal Hospital.
''Such II thing is possible" said Mr..
Ford, "lnit it has never been verified
by neutrality-suspicious.. Itisknowll
that such things as living germs OF
diseases do exist. for they have
been discovered in cases of fever, but

A Child's Marvellous Escape.

Wil!ialn Curtin sat reading IN even

yc;'r-old James Barry played ut his
side. Curtin heard a scream. The
next second white object flashed
before his eyes. lie clntched it. His
hands caught the waist of perennial.
Collins, nineteen mont lSOld baby WHO
was falling head downward, with his
mother from iourtll-story window
over Mr.. Curtin's head. The force of
the baby's fall brought Mr.. Cmrtin's
hands down to the ground. The ba-
hy's face Just grazed the pavement.
The child was unllur. Almost att
Mr.. Curtin's feet lay Mrs. Mary Col
Inns forty Years old. Her clothing
brushed little Barry as she fell fiat
on her back. She died almost in
stantly.
She had taken her baby into n
vacant front room across the hall
from her apartments to give him an
airing. a funcralprocrssion had lust
passed and, it is supposed, she sat in
the window sill, with the baby in her
arms, to see it. and. in leaning over
to look up the street, lost her bal
ancc. Nobody saw her fall from the
window. Her husband, Patrick, Il

apartments; sick from heat prostrl-
tion. No other members of the fam
lily were at home.

A letter has been received from the
steward of the schooner II. B. Griffin
Captain George Nelson, now absent

that they have met with an unusual
experience, viz, that Of leing towel

Ing after the vessel and keeping an
eye on the ,lorics, when all ut once
they felt IL sudden jerk, and soon the
vessel was going through the water

something so uncommon, q vessel
dashing through the water Mt 4,

anchor down, that they begun to
look alarmed. Suddenly the cause
made itself manifest, when u. mons
trous whale arose to tllesurf;,cc, with
the anchor fast either in his inv or
blow hole. He tore tlroug III the wat
err ut II high pressure rate, and was
fast taking the craft out Of sight OF
the ,lorirs, thus leaving the crews en-
