THE Minnesota editors, when in Chi
cago last week, passed a resolution fav-
oring that city as the proper place
for holding the great worlds fair In 1892
TO celebrate the tooth anniversary OF
Americas discovery. There is no doubt
but that in this action the editors
voiced the sentiment of a vast majority
of the citizens of Minnesota. There are
scores of reasons why Chicago is most
favorably adapted for such an exhibition,
principal among which are its central
location and railroad facilities, which
make it so easily accessible from all
sections of the country. Chicago is al.
so the best illustration of the great de.
velopment of this country, or of the
central and western portion thereof
The exposition of 1876 at Philadelphia
gave particular attention to the progress
of the country east Of the Alleganies,
and what is wanted now is an opportu-
nifty to show the people of not only this
but of foreign countries what the "rowdy
west" can and has accomplished. New
York will of course make great effort
to be selected by Congress as the site
for the proposed fair, but while that
great metropolis is favored IN many par
ticulars and would be especially con-
yenient to the visitors from foreign
shores, il will not be denied that it lacks
many of the essential qualifications of
being typical American city. The com
ing exposition should be particularly an
American enterprise and nowhere Is
true, genuine, American "git-up-and-
git" so well shown as in the Garden City
of the great west. There are many
things in New York that the visitor from
abroad making his first trip to America
will want to see, but he can do that and
still have time to 90 TO Chicago, where
as if the fair were held in the Empire
City the vast majority of foreigners
would get no farther west and would
would miss seeing the things which
make the United States truly great. All
these arguments count In Chicago's
favor, and there are many more. New
York has just had an experience in
handling great American anniversary
and the way the Washington centennial
celebration was managed certainly does
not warrant the people in putting in the
same hands another great affair of the
kind. Chicago is ahead in hotel accom-
modations and in other facilities for
handling great crowd. Forty railways
center there, while New York is the
terminus of probably half a dozen.
The niggardly spirit of New York citi-
zens toward any great project requiring
the expenditure of large sums of money
also counts against her. while the liberal
character of Chicago people needs no
recommendation. While New York is
worrying over the matter of raising the
funds for the fair and scheming to get it
out of the public at large, Chicago has
incorporated a company with 5000, 600
capital and goes right ahead with ar
rangements. Yes, Chicago is Minneso-
AS choice, there's no doubt about it.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Pioneer Press is responsible for the state
ment that "a gigantic steal, amounting
to $50, 900, has been unearthed by Chief
Clerk r. ]. Hartman, of the accounts di-
vision of the general land office. The
stealings have been traced to proml-
nent Washington attorney and high Of
fetal of the treasury department under
the last administration. The matter is
yet incomplete, but the books in the
general land Office show that $23, 5OS.Ol
have been fraudulentlv taken from the
government. The books of the treasury
department will show enough to increase
the amount to $4,000. The details have
not yet been made public, and probably
will not be until Acting Secretary Chan
dler of the interior department has con-
sidered the matter, and referred it to
the attorney general. The attorney
general will institute suits against both
parties to recover the sum fraudulently
appropriated. and 1t is probable that
criminal proceedings will be begun. The
treasury official was a Cleveland ap-
pointee. There is no doubt that the
money can be collected from both men
implicated. The steal was found IN
making up the financial report of the
general land office, when the deficiency
was found and traced to the treasury Of
fetal and the attorney referred to. Be-
ing the first instance of the kind for
many years, the announcement Will
cause sensation"

1T appears that Sixth Auditor Coulter
of the treasury department lately I'M
dertook to snub Congressman Lind by
refusing to furnish him information re-
garding certain matters of financial
character in the post-ofiice department..
1t happened that the matter did not be-
long to Coulter's division but to that OF
another office IN the same building. All
that was necessary was to press button
which would have called a messenger
and Mr.. Lind's letter could have been
carried to the proper division without
more ado. But the clerk and Mr.. Coul-
ter preferred to show HIM that they
were dignitaries of importance and were
not to be lightly addressed by ordinary
men like members of congress upon
business that belonged to division a
few doors down the hall OF the
post-ofiice building. A letter was there
fore dictated and typewriter informing
Mr.. Lind in a curt manner that the in
formation he wanted could be had by
addressing such and such an Office. 1t
is needless to say that our Congressman
turned over the Sixth Auditors letter
and gave HIM as neat a rejoinder as was
necessary. In speaking of the matter
the Pioneer PreeS correspondent saws
perhaps Mr.. Coulter made the mistake
to think that Congressman Lind was a
man of small Importance, and was not
aware that he represented district that
gives 10000 Republican majority. Mr..
Coulter might also remember that he
has not yet been confirmed and that he
has already placed himself in an inse-
cure position with the Democratic mi
nority, and cannot afford to incur the
displeasure of Republican members
who have influence with men of their
party in the senate. Department Off

OF New York and Brooklyn have formed
an association to fight the journey men
bakers. Notices were posted in all the
bakeshops that hereafter the employees
will be treated as individuals and the
union will not be recognized. The men
were required to sign their acceptance
OF this notice. Rather than do so about
three hundred men quit work, and it is
expected that general strike will take
place. The men claim that the bosses
are beginning an attempt to restore the
old system of long hours and starvation

that congregation may discharge their

If they are impious or neglect duty.
With regard to public schools, they make
it plain that they have no wish to be
mixed up with other bodies in opposing
the schools. The public schools, they
say, are excellent, and they are willing
to pay their share for their support. but
prefer to teach their children in their
parochial schools.

ACTING Postmaster General Clarkson
has awarded the contract for furnishing
postal cards for the next four years to
Albert Daggett of New York. The new
contract calls for better quality of pa
per than is now used and for cards OF
three sizes, one 1916 by 45-S inches,
one 5 by is inches (the size of those
now used and one 81 by is inches.
Notwithstanding the improved qualities
and the different size the new contract
will save the Government about $4,000
as compared with the last one. The
contract begins from October the first,
next. Good judges have claimed that
the cards could not be made at the re-
duced prices, but the bonds of the new
contractor, who is a New York alder
man, have been closely looked into, and
the government can't lose anything on
the job. Daggett claims to have some
sort of improved machinery.

SECRETARY WINDOW contemplates issu-
ing an order directing that the stars and
stripes shall float from every public
building each day. He goes on the
principle that there is no use having
"Freedom's Banner" unless it is "tiung

buildings are to be instructed to see that
the flag of the free proudly waves over
the buildings OF Uncle Sam during bus
mess hours. There is nothing wrong
with the proposition. The percentage
of people in this country now who don't
like the looks of the nations flag is so
small that the vast majority need not
grieve even if their feelings are hurt.
