WHAT III COST.
Sense idea OF the Expense OF tho
Great Centennial Celebration.


Sonso idea OF the Expense Of tho
Great Centennial Celebration.
New York World.
What the entire cost Of this centennial
celebration will be IL is impossible 10 say
OF the present time. II seems pretty clear
that 90 far as the committee IL concerned
and tho expenses of the committee they
will exceed the money which has been
appropriated by the state and the city,
together with the subscriptions which
have been secured by the finance commit
tee, headed by Brayton Ives. This state
ment is not made from absolute
knowledge Of the facts OF the case, be-
cause MIR. Gerry and his associates have
preserved the Bame golden silence con-
oerning the finances Of the affair which
they have concerning everything else the
centennial has to do with. The oonolu-
sion is simply based on the fact that ut
recent meeting Of the plan and scope
committee o casual reference was made to
the fact that the available funds wers not
holding out, and Brayton Ives aud his
associates on the finance committee were
asked to stir up subscriptions and get
them in as rapidly as possible
According TO Mr.. Bowen's official pro
gramme the money appropriated by the
state Of New York for the purpose Of the
celebration was $1,000 One hundred
and twenty. five thousand dollars of this,
however, belongs to the Nstional Guard
and 500, 900 more to the Grand Army of
the Republic, so that SIS 900 only goes
to the centennial committee. The city
government, however, appropriated
S75, 900, and the voluntary subscriptions
have been about $d5 600. This gives the
committee an aggregate fund Of 8I75 900,
aud cut of this the expenses of the parade
must be met, the maintenance OF such
troops as have not been provided for by
the states to which they belong, the cost
Of fireworks and decorations and the very
heavy expenses Of the committee incurred
during the work of preparation. Spacious
Offices have been maintained in the
Stewart Building since last November,
and number Of parlors at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel have been occupied BY the
army committee since January OF the
present year. When to these expenses is
aided the probable deficit in the bail and
banquet accounts, IL will be seen that
with $4,000 the COMMITTEES will
PROBABLY not come out anywhere near
square.
The expenses for the ball and banquet
almost Of necessity 60 together for the
reason that the cost OF Building the an
nexes to the opera house and the decora.
tions Of the building are necessarily
charged up against both entertainments.
The cost OF these two affairs will un-
doubleday aggregate 100000. Here are
some of the items as set down in the
original estimate:

The Acw Cotton Rnnainn.

In the matter of the cotton bag.
glng business, we see how great
trnst can defeat its own ends. The
Georgia farmers having been put
on notice that the ba. ging trust
was in operation, concluded to make
two million yards Of cottonbagging.
This itself would make a large
h ole in the trust, but it has been
supplemented in way that will
give it extraordinary effect. The
South Carolina farmers h ave con-
cluded to order the same amount,
and so have the Louisiana farmers.
This six million yards of cotton
bagging will make a big hole in
the estimate of the bagsing trust,
and there is no doubt that if the
Alliance stands up to it promises
the jute manu- acturers will find
themselves considerably in the
lurch.
This is the natural outcome of an
outrageous attempt to rob the
cotton planters OF the south, and
any result that will sav, them and
destroy the trust will be welcomed
by the people in all parts of the
country.
The manufacture of cotton bag,
ging, VIII ich will take the place OF
! jute bagging, will establish new
industries and create demand for
the low grades of cotton. With
these new fsctories in operation,
the farmers eau increase their acre
age without fear OF overrun2inq
the market. - Constitution.
