THE EXPOSITION.

The Exposition of 1883 is over. Its
third year has proven successful,
financially speaking, but not in the de-
gree that characterized either of the
preceding years. The attendance from
outside the city has shown marked
| increase, and the falling fl has been
with the local patronage. Reasons for
this can be readily found. The Expo
Sition is no longer novelty, and lacks
| novelty in its attractions. Political eX-
| element, dull times, and other infiu-
ences had their affect, but that is the
| principal cause. Without meaning any
reflection upon the management, the
Exposition this year received quite as
much support as it merited. The show
was not as good as upon former years,
| and people did not turn out to see it as
literally. That's the truth, plainly
put.
Minneapolis is a volatile city, and is
easily satiated with anything of the
humdrum nature. Displays of furni-
| ture and hardware are not especially
| fascinating, and people do not go more
than once to see them. Without pur-
suing the subject further, it is only
necessary to indicate what the manage
ment doubtless clearly understand,
that the Exposition of 1889 must
show improvement to expect to be gen.
orally sustained.
In W. G. Byron man has been Sc
cured who has had the advantage of
being actively identified with the EX-
position since the start. He goes at
once on tour of inspection to visit
other industrial eXpositions, gain ideas
| and secure attractions. 1t is to be hoped
| that he will be backed up by the direct
tors in his efforts to make the EXPOSE
| ton of the coming year what it should
| be.
There is some ground for the appre-
! hensiOn.that the desire to have divi-
| dend declared may prevent eXpendi-
! lures that will be found necessary in
| order to secure features that will make
| the exposition win OIL its merits. The
decision to make no appropriation this
| year for the purchase of paintings, to
| be added to the permanent collection III
the art gallery, is an indication of this
tendency, at least. 1t will be difficult
! to induce artists to send pictures here
Stantial remuneration than the meagre
satisfaction of knowing that they have
been placed on exhibition. The major
ity of the subscribers to the stock
doubtless expect no return in the way
of dividend, and would prefer to have
the surplus expended by adding to the
permanent features, as well as increas-
ing the quality of transient attractions.
Whatever is done the main necessity of
making the Exposition each year better
than 1t was the preceding must be kept
in view.

oners and the punishment OF the authorities
who were responsible for the outrage. On De
cemher the vessel was given up and the pris-
oners were liberated, the Spanish Government
quickly recognizing the ilegaity OF the seizure
and the Justice Of the American demand. The
Virgnius with her own coors flying was for
mally delivered to the United States fleet at
Bahia Honda, and the Spanish Government
disclaimed any intention of affronting the Ma
tional flag. As that dangerous and complicated
affair was adjusted to the satisfaction of both
Governments without bloodshed or naval bonn
bardment, we are justified in concluding that
the approaching demonstration off the Haytian
coast will be brought to an equally satisfactory
and pacific issue.

SLY Suicides.

Six attempts at suicide, four Of which were
promptly successful, and only one of which
seemed to leave any hope Of survival, make an
extraordinary record for one day in this city
Sudden outbreaks of this kind. which are COM
monty called "epdemcs'' Of crime, are not in
frequent, and are easily accounted for on the
principle of imitation, which Dr. William A.
Hammond discusses in the December North
Americana One crime easily suggests another
of the same sort to a mind that is overweight
by suffering or excitement and was perhaps
weak at the outset; and no crime is so easily
suggested and so readily initiated, apparent
", as suicide which does not imply malice
toward any human being, but only such de-
gree Of Impotence with the world that the
sufferer is willing to forget all his duties if he
an only escape from his miseries. There is
the well-known historical instance Of the
philosopher who preached suicide so success
fully in Alexandria that self-destruction be-
came fashionable, and the authorities were
compelled to send him out of the city.
This habit of imitation is undoub tedly great
ly stimulated, as DR.. Hammond points out, by
the nature of modern life. These six suicides
did not take their impulse from each other, "a
lllc AltAdIuTdus ului Dub III INC ldClh COulu De
known, it would undoubtedly be found that
the minds of all Of them had been more or less
affected by reading about suicides in the news
papers and hearing them discussed. The won
derful diffusion of intelligence in these days
has its pains as well as its pleasures. The
crimes Of the world, it may almost be said, are
served up every morning along with its good
deeds. its battles, its elections its debates. its
gifts to charity its railroad disasters, and the
thousand and one events Of the day. 1t is
inevitable that it should be so, though the
amount Of space and the degree of prominence
given to criminal records in a newspaper should
always be a matter for serious care on public
grounds.
II is inevitable that the minds of persons who
read much about crime-and the poor and ig-
noFant seem especially given to this habit
should be more or less affected by It. The
thought Of suicide, when misfortune comes,
will occur more readily TO "A person to whom

THE N1VIL DEMONSTRATION.


The proposed naval demonstration against
| Hayti cannot be ntelligenty discussed so long
as the diplomatic correspondence Is withheld
from publication. The seizure Of the llaytien
! Republic is only one Of a series of grievances
| for which American citizens are entitled TO In
identification. The Won BOkkeen claim is
| perhaps as important case as that Of the con-
demned vessel and Secretary Bayard has de-
voted close attention to it in his diplomatic
correspondence and there are other outrages
for which reparation may justly be demanded.
! Whether all these claims are to be merged
| in the demand to be made by a United States
| fleet of four vessels is question open only
for conjecture, as the State Department makes
TO disclosure of it's purposes. So far as the
Haytien Republic is concerned, there seems to
be no unwillingness on the part Of the Legitime
Government TO surrender the vessel The case
was practically referred to the State Depart
ment and the Haytian authorities may rea-
sonably be expected to comply with its de
cisiOn. Their dilatory tactics and procrasti
mating spirit seem to have rendered this naval
demonstration necessary. Active preparations
now making to send four vessels to sea will
probably bring them to their senses If the
Gaena sails for Hayi promptly, the subse-
quent dispatch of the other three vessels may
not be requisite.
DISPLAYS of naval force are entirely con-
sistent with pacific methods of obtaining re-
dress for National grievances. In 1852 fleet
was sent TO Japan in order to emphasize the
demand Of the United States Government that
its citizens should be protected when visiting
that country or when wrecked on its coasts
In 858 similar measures were taken to secure
the criminal prosecution of persons charged
with assaSsinating American citizens. A strong
naval squadron Of nineteen vessels was sent to
the waters of the La Plata to enforce demands
which had been made in 1859 upon the Gov
eminent Of Paraguay. Instances of the dis
play of naval force as means of obtaining
reparation, satisfaction and indemnity might
be multiplied from the archives of the State
Department. The sending OF the feet to
Hayti does not involve any menace Of war; but
is to be regarded as pacific method of redress
to which the Government has frequently had
recourse.
The capture Of the Haytien Republic is
TRIVIAL incident in comparison with the Vir-
ginius outrage, which nearly involved the
United States in war with Spain. The Vir-
ginius, while flying the American flag, was
0yerhauled by the cruiser Tornado on October
81, 3, and taken into Cuban port, where
fifty-three of her passengers and crew were
summarily tried, condemned and shot. The
surrender of the vessel was Immediately de-
nanded, together with the release of the pris-

derers one initiating the other The suppose
ton in this case is, of course, that the criminal
is insane, but the same rule holds good with
regard to the sane. Reading and hcarrg about
suicides, for example, not only tend to pre-
dispose to the commission of the crime, but
also furnish information as to the methods
by which it can best be committed Resort to
certain poisonous preparations that are sold
freely, while the sale Of most poisons is under
careful restriction, can no doubt be traced In
many cases to the publication Of details in the
newspapers.
The question of the responsibility Of the
newspapers in reporting crimes is very serious
one 1t is utterly impracticable to talk of
suppressing criminal news. To do so would
often defeat justice. 1t is sometimes said that
the newspapers help criminals by putting them
on their guard and informing them of the move
ments of the police. 1t far more often happens
that the newspapers, by setting up hue and
cry over the whole country, hunt criminal
down who might otherwise have escaped 1t
is idle to conceal the fact that crimes are to
certain extent subject of legitimate interest.
Men and women expect to see in their news
papers what they like to talk about and there
are at times forgeries, murders or suicides
about which the whole public wishes to be in
formed The question for the journalist is
how to make such presentation of these mat
tiers as their importance as legitimate news will
justify, without pandering to sensaionalism,
or printing single unnecessary line that may
tend to corrupt and debase the minds Of the
young and the ignorant. No conscientious
journalist needs to be reminded that, from this
point of view, almost every crime which is of
character at all startling presents new and
difficult problem. Unfortunately, not all jour
naists are of this class. Such considerations
cannot be urged upon men whose only ambi-
ton is to get together each day as much mud
as they can for their readers.

Long and successfully as this grand old dodge

is this: When the actress arrives at her hotel

the earlier the better, probably, let her fix the
larger end of the pole firmly in socket attached
for the purpose to the window sill so that the
smaller end will PROJECT out over the street ex-
actly as if that thoroughfare was brook and she
was going to fish in (which, in fact, it may be
said, is what she is going to do. The line has.
Of course, been attached to the smaller end OF the
pole, and the diamonds are now carefully tied
to the other end Of the line. They are then

in, first securing seats. The curtain rises at g.

defects, but it seems to us as IL it was much
