Worlds Fair.

The competition for the location
Of the Worlds Fair in 1892 has be-
come quite spirited, New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago, Cincinnati and St.
Louis being the chief competitors.
AS it is considerable time yet before
the time when this Worlds Fair will
occur, other cities may become prom
inent aspirants for the place of hold
ing the Fair. New York
is declared too pent up
for the want of room and
fresh air. Boston is pronounced too
old and antiquated to give foreigners
a specimen of modern America. St.
Louis too liable to sunstroke and too
hot for the comfort of a great multi
tude. Chicago insists it has the
most ample accommodations for a
worlds fair, but it is said to be built
in swamp, its foundations raised
only a little out of the mud. Chi
cago claims to have over fifty Sena-
tors and Representatives committed
to its claim to be the chosen city.
New York, it is alleged, is appealing
to the country at large to raise a
bonus to offer inducements to bring
the fair to that city. Chicago on the
other hand, it is asserted, intends to
raise all the money at home required
for the necessary expenditure of the
fair. The Importance of the fair in
giving world wide prominence tc
whatever city in which it may be
held, is duly appreciated, and there
fore the earnest effort which each is
putting forth. The majority of the
people outside of the contesting cit
les will generally favor the place
which they can most conveniently
reach. Wisconsin will naturally re.
gard Chicago as the best place
named.

The Solid South Broken.

The counting of the votes cast at
the Gubernatorial election in West
Virginia is nearly completed, and
while various Democratic organs are
claiming that the Democratic candi-
date is elected, the Sun, which is
generally trustworthy as to news,
even when that news is unfavorable
to it's own party-as indeed every
journal that is newspaper must be-
admits that the plurality reported for
General Golf, the Republican candi-
date, has not been wiped out, and
that it has been reduced only from
10 to 50, with all but two counties
heard from.
This is glorious news indeed, for
it means that the solid South is bro
ken at last, and that we are one
country and not two sections. The
educational campaign of 1888 for
protection did it. West Virginia is
underlaid with vast stores of mineral
wealth, and her people know that
under the benefcent policy of home
she will become rich
and prosperous beyond the widest
dreams of their fathers.

featuring establishments as common
business transactions, and about the
same as once horses, cattle and
farms were bought and sold. The
power of money is often seen in
nominating conventions, when the
question arises, "has he money to
carry him through successful can
vass." 1t is often understood that
in order to carry the election of a
candidate, a considerable sum Of
money may be required. The urgent
need of funds to make a good run
for office is more often required in
older States in the East than here in
the West. The United States Sem
ate has in years past been an exam
pie of the success of millionaires. It
is not reasonable to conclude that all
the men of large wealth now in the
y. S. Senate, reached that high posi-
ton of honor because of superior
qualifications. Merit not accompan-
led with money is too often sighted.

The situation in Hayti has taken
another whirl, Hippolyte is now
decidedly the under party in the
fight. He is still ostensibly beseig-
ing Legitime, but he is rather in the
position of man grasping the poles
of an electric battery-he doesn't
want the battery, but he doesn't ex-
actly know how to let go. Hip
polyte has ceased to feel that over
powering desire to get Legitime
that once possessed him, and instead
is busying his mind with schemes to
get away. The dispatches, after
describing the situation, state affa-
bly, that "the weather has been con-
tinuously delightful" This is nice,
If it had not been for this last skill
full touch people might have been
deferred from visiting Hayti.

A Protective Tariff VS.. Monopoly

"A protective Iarltt VS.. Monopoly
Among the efforts to popularize the
policy Of free foreign trade is the
charge that Protection encourages
monopoly" the absorption under one
control of some entire line of business
and resultant advance in price of the
product thus controlled. Such tactics
may be ingenious and not without in
fuence with the unwary, but upon ex-
animation the charge will be found de-
fective in lacking facts for its support.
Combinations there are in plenty, and
when these get matters in hand they
are quite certain to turn their advantage
to personal gain, without fear of law, or
sympathy for purchasers of products.
But they are in no wise chargeable to
our protective policy, nor confined to
the United States. If there be any
truth in the contention OF Free Trade
advocates that protection enhances
prices, It's effect must be to render COM
binations more difficult by requiring
larger sums Of money for maintaining
control Of the markets.
The fact is that one of the first COM
binations for forcing up prices was
formed in Great Britain shortly after
Richard Golden and other Free Trade
statesmen had secured changes in the
British fiscal policy. This was among
the tin-plate manufacturers, and the
"trust" then organized has been pretty
solidly preserved to the present time
so we'll in fact that every effort to en-
courage the manufacture Of tin plates in
this country at once encounters the Wig
orous opposition Of those who reflect
English opinion this side the Atlantic.
The fallacy of charging trade combi-
nations to Protection becomes apparent
by glance at two just now especially
prominent-the Standard Oil Company
and the coffee corner. No tariff is laid
on either crude petroleum or coffee, and
the fact is the latter is not produced in
this country at ALL The case with
sugar, just now forced to an inordinate-
ly high figure, differs only in so far as
but 1.-THE of the quantity involved is
of domestic production. The influences
operating to corner" these and ether
products are found just as potent in
England as here; in fact efor IS in that
direction become effective only by con-
troll of foreign markets, made possible
by the cooperation of foreign capital.
Our tariff is no more responsible for
the existence of combinations for put
ting up prices OF products than it is for
the agreement between railroads to keep
up their freight and passenger charges,
the combination of gas companies to
make city patrons pay high price for
lights, or a resolution of farmers in a
neighborhood to hold their wheat until
certain price is offered.

In times like these when changes
are being made in public officers under
a new administration, it is not strange
that there should be dissatisfaction.
The change in the post-ofice at. James
vile is one of these occasions of political
fault-fnding. 1t is claimed wrong has
been done, and as the blame must be
charged to some influential quarter,
Hon. L. B. Caswell, our representative
in Congress, seems to have been chosen
as the author of the wrong done. AS
we view the case from disinterested
standpoint, it does not appear that Mr.
Caswell acted otherwise than honorably
He has not the appointing power; the
President and Postmaster General have
control of these appointments and were
advised of the facts on which action
was based.

The pearl-hunting craze is spreading
throughout Wisconsin, and Prairie du
Chen has now gone clam-catching.
Now and then somebody digs up some
thing totally irrelevant, like rusty old
bombshell that has lain in the river

but as rule the people just gather a
sackful of pearls and are satisfied with
them. Wisconsin will probably spring
a diamond field on the public next.

The new law of Minnesota, which
makes drunkenness a misdemeanor, has
now been in force two months, and is
working we'll. There has been a
marked diminution of the number of
arrests for drunkenness in st. Paul as
compared with the corresponding period
of last year. The rigors of the new
law are reserved for those who commit
the offence for third time and only
two such cases have occurred since it
went into force. The Minnesota law is
founded upon common sense, and pre-
sents a favorable contrast, in this res
pect, with prohibition, which regards
the drunkard as an irresponsible person
and visits all its penalties upon the
seller.

A FooLHARDY STUDENT
Almost Wrecks College Building With
Dynamite Bomb.

Dynamite Bomb.
New HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 22.-The
Union's special from Middletown shows
that the explosion at Wesleyan College
last night was caused by dynamite instead
OF cannon crackers. The special says:
About midnight last night the inmates of
the north college building at Wesleyan
were aroused by an explosion which shook
every beam and raiier in the old building,
and called to the mind the blowing up of
the Park Central Hotel at Hartford. The
report could be heard in every quarter of
the town. The explosion was caused by q
dynamite bomb thrown by some ioolhardy
student in the fourth floor of the building
II shattered doors and windows, tore u
hole down through two floors and knocked
out several yards Of plasering. In OBJ
seryatory Hall the same outrage was por-
petrated, only with greater effect. Tho
balls OF both buildings are this morning
filed with plaster, wool, glass, etc, in
such quantities that IL seems improbable
a dynamite cartridge could have made
such havoc. Tho worst fear OF it all is
the accident TO n. c. Hubbard, son Of
eX-Congressman Hubbard, of West Nir-
ginia. After the explosion in North Col
lcge young Hubbard ventured ont OF his
room TO ascertain the cause of the racket.
lie was no sooner in the hall than he saw
n small missile lying ON the floor near his
door, and picked II up. IL WAS dyna-
mite cartridge or bomb, and 1t immedi-
atcly exploded in his hand. The palm OF
his right hand was terribly lacem,cd, his
eyes badly cut aud pieces entered his
abdomen. Ii must have exploded with
terrific force, rs il threw fragments of ms
flesh all around. When the injury TO
Mr.. Hubbard became known several per-
sons were summoned, and they considered
his condition 80 serious rs To warrant his
removal to the hospital at New Haven,
whore four fingers OF the injured hand
were amputatcd. II Is barely possible that
his hand may be saved.
