ENTRANCES.

In addition to the passimetre building,
the man entrance, four stalls were being
built yesterday at regular intervals inside
of the front fence. A passimetre will be
put in each. These stalls will be used as
entrances for exhibitors, employees, life
members for the society, and the object
of their construction is to decrease the
rush at the main entrance. They seem
TO be an afterthought, for the fence will
have to be pulled down in front of each
of them.

THE RAILwAY FyTENsION.

Work progressed rapidly on the street
railway extension yesterday. All the
stringers and rails were removed from
the south to the north side of the street,
and rails were placed for some distance.
The roadway is hardening, and the
gravel and granite thrown along the
street will make an excellent road-bed.

The admonitory tones OF the articles
in the Dispatch for the past few days
have had the effect of awakening in
creased activity among exhibitors.
There were more men at work yesterday
in the Exposition building than there
have been since the structure was com
pleted. 4. Saks d Co. are putting up
an attractive and unique stand near the
main entrance, which is further advanced
than any other stand.

The erection of the switch-back (or
gravity road, as it is sometimes called
began yesterday. This is located in the
rear OF the machinery wing.
For the information Of those who do
not know what q switch-back is 1t Is
proper to say that it is an inclined struc-
ture with double track on it. A car
carrying twelve persons rms down one
track, and the impetus it obtains in the
downward shoot IS sufficient to bring 1t
back 10 the starting-pOint. The ride IS
$50 feet each way, and the charge is five
cents for the round trip. The attraction,
OF course, is in the rapidity of movement.
the trip being made in about twenty
seconds.
Another affair similar to this is the
toboggnn-sIide, which is TO be placed
alongside of the bench-show. This slide
will possess an advantage OF which n
natural toboggan-slido is devoid-the
capacity of carrying the rider back to the
starhng-point. The slide will be l30feet
each way, and the ride costs nickel.

Delegates to ST. LOUIS.


Ia West Virginia, so We learn from
The Wheeling Register, the tendency
among the Democrats Is to elect their
delegates at large to the St. Louis Con-
vention at congressional district conven-
tions. 1t would seem from this state
ment that conventions to nominate
candidates for the national House
OF Representatives were to he held
at very early day. Either this
is 10 he done. or else-as we do
not believe will be the case-there are to
he two congressional district conventions
held this year in every district To-day
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee of West Virginia viii decide this
question. As West Virginia is entitled
TO four delegates at large and has just
four congressional districts the plan Of
electing the delegates at large in the
congressional district conventions IS en-
tirely feasible.
In Virginia the Democrats will assem-
be in State convention at an early day,
and appoint the four delegates at large
and their alternates. The delegates from
the several congressional districts Will at
the same time meet in separate conven-
tions. and select each two delegates and
two alternates 1t is not too soon for
the people TO be bordering the subject.
These delegates will have an important
duty 10 perform. even if Mr.. CLEVELAND
is to be nominated at once and by accla-
nation. A platform must be laid down
upon which the Democrats everywhere
can stand. We regret that the National
Convention is to be held before Congress
will have acted upon the questions Of
abolishing the tax upon tobacco
and fruit-brandies, aIh of revising the
tariff. The Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives ought to try to do its part OF
the work before the St. Louis Conyen-
ton meets, and throw upon the Repub-
lican Senate the responsibility Of re-
fusing to pass measure to reduce the
immense surplus now lying in the Trea
sury to the detriment Of the commercial
and all other interests Of the country.
We have heretofore expressed our OPP
position to the proposition to draw the
line in Virginia between Protectionist
and anti -Protoctionist Democrats. There
is no necessity for prescribing good
Democrats who are entitled to the one
or the other of these designations. The
line should be drawn not between them.
but between men who are thoroughly
equipped for the duty Of repre-
senting Virginia and men who
would go TO ST. Louis to represent
themselves, and who, therefore, are not
the men to whom should be delegated so
important a trust. In order TO this end,
the people must lay Alright the founda-
tions Of the State Convention. In their
county meetings, their district meetings,
their ward meetings, and their town
meetings, they should select "good men
and true "-Democrats who are Demo
Gratis from principle, and faithful ser
wants and representatives of the Demo-
cratic party and the Commonwealth.

Onr Proposed Exposition.

The Baltimore AmCricaH is still boom
ing the proposed exposition in that city.
1t says:
THE importance Of tine enterprise is
pretty generally known. There is no
division of sentiment as 10 the practical
benefits that viii come from II. 1t Will
add ten years advance to Baltimore's
progress. 1t will bring hundreds Of
thousands Of people and millions of dol
lars to the city. All trades and all sec
tons will receive the benefits Western
cities make money 10y expOsitions. Bal
timore can do the same.
And what western cities have done
and Baltimore can do Richmond can do
if she will aid the proposed exposition
Of the Virginia Agricultural and Ne
chanical Society as it deserves. But the
americans own words in favor of ex-
positions are supplemented by still
stronger testimony and argument the
testimony and argument of experience,
if we may use the phrase. HENRY W.
NhhD1, tuilOI VI VIC AtlAltt NpNot tth-
ton, who was the vice-preside1t Of the
Atlanta exposition, writes to General
AoSUs as follows:
ATLANTA, Ga, March Is, 1888.
General Agnus
Dear Sir,-We have found that the
two expositions in Atlanta added enor-
mously to our population and industries.
They are accounted now as the best in
vestments We ever made. Our last ex-
position was a phenomenal success. We
run it two weeks and cleared Sj6, l25,
and bad that amount in clean cash when
the show closed. ! have requested Ma
ior Smyth, our secretary. 10 inform you
IN detail as 10 the cost of the buildings,
receipts, aud the expenses OF running
the exposition. II can be of further
service do not hesitate to command me.
Yours very truly, ii. w. GRADY.
What with Richmond's central loca-
ton aud railroad connections is il proba-
be that our exposition would do less for
this city aud State than the Atlanta ex-
position did for Atlanta and Georgia ?

Thousands Of negroes, or even whites,
might sell themselves into slavery If the
law would allow them to do so.
"rhe Centennial Fra"

The Springfield Mass Ropubifcan
thinks that one good thing about the
centennial era is that il has stimulated
the study of the history OF the Union.
The Republican then adds:
"I.oose talk about State rights will do
for some political gatherings, but the
able men OF this generation see the virtue
aud authority Of national jurisdiction.
and under it a local self-government free
and full"
Yes. But national jurisdiction within
the limits OF the Federal Constitution
and no usurpation nor judge-made law.
That is all any States-rights advocate
contends for to-day. Under these con-
ditions local self-government, free and
full, - will be secure, but under no Others.
1t will indeed be a good thing for the
country if the study of the history OF
the Union brings about recogni-
ton Of the fact that the fathers
of the Constitution knew what
they were about and understood the
English language when they framed that
instrument. Slavery and secession are
dead. They were settled by an appeal
70 tie sword. But there are other ques-
tons involving the relations OF the States
to the General Government that the
rising generation would do well to pom
der, to the end that the statesman may
take tue place OF the demagogue IN tAe
political history of the future.
