THE WORLD'S SHOW.

Chicagoans will have chance to visit
the worlds fair quickly and cheaply in
1892. Communications between st.
Louis and all suburban towns in Mis-
souri, and Illinois at that time will be
rapid and at very low prices.-St. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat.
Chicago is the imperial city of the
Western world. 1t must have the fair
in 1892 New York is only landing
place something like Peters station at
the gates of heaven, only many, mani
fold times worse. We hope the saint
will pardon uS.-Council Bluffs NOnpa-
reil.
What Chicago needs now is not an eX-
position, but several additional hos
pitfalls, a spacious new morgue, and gen.
erouslY enlarged cemeteries. The indi-
cations are that Chicago will show up
in the census of 1890 with the most pop
ulOus graveyards of any city in Amer
ica.-St. Louis Republic.
Chicago has true Western grit, and
the chances are that Denver people will
not be compelled to travel more than
1000 miles to attend the fair. Denver
Republican.
If the iniquities of New York keep
coming to the surface at their present
lively rate, by the time 1892 arrives an
exposition in that ambitious city will be
simply impossible, as she will positively
have nothing lett to eXpOSe.-BaltimOr
American.
The idea of the New York papers
having the worlds fair the other cities
will retire from the contest. But West
ern cities are pretty loud takers them
selves, and are not frightened In that
way.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
New York's big Dutch pockets will
yawn if she gets the fair, but when
asked to subscribe for any enterprise
her bankers and merchants are apt to
do the yawning with their mouths. Let
the show be in Chicago. There there is
We tern push that will assure its sue
cess. ,-LeavenWOrth Times.
Sam Randall thinks Chicago is too far
west for the worlds fair. The brilliant
Pennsylvania evidently has little idea
of how rapidly the real West has been
getting away from the Atlantic coast
during the last few years. Chicago,
upon classification based on the size
of the country now populated. is an
Eastern city, and tolerably far Eastern
one, too.-Denver Times.
If it should come down to fight be-
tween the East and the West New
York may have hard time. The West
has the most power, if it can be prop
erly concentrated. New York may get
considerable assistance from the South.
San Francisco has put in no claim.
though many reasons could be advanced
why the celebration should be held lin
this city. which is the latest wonder of
American progress. But tie length of
the journey across the continent is
againstit. While the states of the Pacific,
therefore, may not insist upon the selec-
ton of their chief city, they are certain
to have much to say IN determining the
site.-San Francisco Bulletin. -
It is beginning to be apparent that
New York will not be prepared to give a
proper kind of show to celebrate the
Columbus quadricentennial for want2of
money and time. 1t has suggestions
enough about how the money can be
raised. and the exposition made sue
cess, but wherever these eXpositions
have been held it was found that they
could not be run on suggestions. The
quadricentenniaI of Hudson's discovery
will be due in 20O9. That is an event OF
peculiar concern in New York, and
should be properly celebrated there. If
preparation is begun now there will be
plenty of time in the intervening 100
years to get things In shape.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.
