TIFF WORLDS FAIR.

MINNEAPOLIS is perhaps the only city
Of Importance in the country that has
not yet put in it's claim for the worlds
fair which will be held somewhere IN
The United States in 1892. Chicago is
working hard for it, and SO is New
York. There are many reasons why II
should be held in the former, and al
most equally as many could be advanced
in favor of holding it IN the latter city.
Rut these reasons would for the most
part be based upon location only as Tar
as the United States is concerned CHI
cago holds that it is about the most CEN
trally located city of Importance in the
Union, and has ample means OF taking
care of everybody. New York claims
that 1t is better able TO take care OF the
visitors than any city in the country
and is willing to put up handsome
bonus ION the side" if necessary; also
that the European visitors would not
be obliged to 20 overland after reaching
that place. and thousand other such
paltry reasons. Both these, as we'll as
other cities of national standing, might
Justly claim the right to have this great
show within their boundaries were 1t a
national affair. If it were limited to
the United States, then it would be open
to all the cities in the country to bid for
the privilege Of getting 1t. But it is
not. 1t is to be world s fair where the
Chinese will have as much right to dis
play their handiwork as the English
The place then for such fair is, not
where it would be il it were merely a
national display but at the capital OF
the nation. Washington is the place
fol- this fair and it held anywhere else
will lose great deal of the effect it
would have if held at the nations
capital. Petty jealousles must not en-
ter into this matter at all. 1t behoovef
the people of this great country OF ours
to do in this particular, what will be fol
the general good of the country, and
not any particular locality. With this
end in view let all eyes be riveted or
Washington the capital OF the nation
for the grandsst display the world ha:
ever seen.

NORTHWEST Review: The Rev. Ia
Their Drummond, $. j., OF Winnipeg,
was prevented from featuring ON Jesuit
ism at Plum Greek, by a mob of roughs,
who forced their way into the hall and
broke up the meeting. Such an exhi,
bition Of fanatical ignorance is greatly
to the discredit of the town OF Plum
Creek, which in other respects has an
excellent reputation. The cause Of Pro
testantism is never helped by resort to
such tactics, on the part OF it's so called

A GREAT deal has been said about
the way the newspapers violated the
Smith law, by publishing all the facts
about the hanging of Bulow at Little
Fails. Some say the newspapers ought
to be prosecuted for so doing. and others
claim that the public demanded it. IT
the law is constitutional it ought to DO
enforced; if not then drop it into the
waste basket where 1T will be out Of
sight, This is the only practical way of
settling the controversy.
