The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1889-09-22

which would attract more attention, for
| the casual visitor would be almost sure to
stumble upon it, If 1t were put in proper
place, for it is that kind of q pavement
from away back.
From several neighboring States we
could collect General E. Burd Grubb, in
Guiding his residence in Pennsylvania,
and his political aspirations in New Jer-
sey Altogether quite o strange and
wonderful assortment of curios might be
collected at very small trouble and ex-
pense IN the immediate vicinity.
The main object of the Worlds Fair,
anyhow, is to attract the attention of
other lands, and endeavor ii possible to
get square with Paris for the amount of
money which our citizens have dropped
over there this summer. For such q
patriotic work New York has facilities
which are not equalled elsewhere. From
the sawdust men and brokers of the
down town section to the elderly female
householders of the boarding and lodging
district; yes, clear up to the flats, rents
ana heas of Harlem we are prepared for
our cousins from across the water, and if
anything gets away from us then the
New World is not the success that it
seems.
Diplomatically, too, New York is the
place. | know nothing so likely to main
Tain and cement the valuable relations
now existing between England and Fifth
foreign dukes and other things who
would go broke in this country during
such time would no doubt, add largely
TO the list of matrimonial alliances with
nobility, and would help to raise the tone
on this side and the credit on the other of
many famous families
we nave greater number OF interest
ing exhibits already prepared than any
OF our competitors could get up between
this time and the date of the quadricen-
tennial. In the line of machinery, for
instance, we have Tammany Hall. one OF
the most instructive and entertaining
machines in the country. 1t is now run
ming in our town without hitch. Its
transference to any other town for the
purposes of the fair would not only injure
the machine but would be very expensive
for the town.
Illustrating the progress of social or
ganlzation we have many societies for the
prevention of various things, and others
for the promotion of the same-among
the latter the finest police force for this
particular purpose that ever passed
Civil Service examination without seeing
it,. All these organizations are doing
we'll. and making great deal of money
out of contributions both voluntary and
otherwise.
The Fair will be stock company, and
space has been reserved in the main build
ing for Mr.. Gould. He will be shown
every day in full operation with the
stock of the concern, and visitors will be
warned by sign:-"The American Jay
This bird will bite" 1t will be one of the
most instructive portions of the exhibi
ton, There will also be gambling den
which will be closed every night by the
police, and will reopen the next morning
in the same place, thus illustrating the
Law and Order methods of the metropo-
lis. Among other things, too. will be
street crossing in full view OF the audi
ence. where man will be run over by a
beer wagon every five minutes. The
main parade will move up Broadway on
the morning of the opening of the show,
and will positively be blown up every
thirty yards, by an explosion in the sub
ways. By these painstaking methods we
shall hope to have true picture of Amer
lean life and death in this great city.
Among all the suggestions that have
been made / am the most moved by that
of the tower two thousand feet high. l
can imagine myself standing alone upon
its top, midway between New York and
Heaven, with a fair chance to decide which
prefer without giving offence in either
locality. There would l stand while the
sun set in the purple, malarial haze of
New Jeresy-there, far above the wagons
