woRLD,s FAIR EXPENSES.

The bill agreed upon by the house
committee. and the one that will be
adopted, provides that the manage
ment of the worlds fair shall be COM
mitted to a national commission, con-
sisting of two members from each state,
to be nominated by the governors of the
respective states and appointed by the
president. Another provision requires
that the commissioners shall be equally
divided between the two parties, so that
the commission will be thoroughly non
partisan. This plan will commend
itself to all intelligent Americans who
wish to see the worlds fair perfect
success. 1t was suggested at one time
and, in fact, this was the New York
plan-to have the fair under the eXclu-
sIve control of local commission. This
would have been wrong, because 1t
would have robbed the enterprise of its
national character. The mere fact of
locating the fair at Chicago, at New
York, or any other place, does not dis
tinguish it as a local concern. While
Chicago will derive local benefits from
having the fair in that city, the enter
prise itself is none the less national
than if it had been located at
Washington. 1t is reasonable eXpecta-
ton that Chicago shall furnish the site
free, yet there Is no reason why Chicago
should be called upon to furnish the
means for establishing and conducting
the exposition. If it is to be national
enterprise, and there is no reason why
it should not be, all the American peo-
pie are equally interested in it, and the
expense should be borne by the national
government. Still, Chicago having Of
fered a bonus of $5,OOO,000, it is alto
gether probable that congress will hold
the Garden City to her offer, and pro-
vide for paying the additional amount
necessary to defray the expenses of the
exposition out of the public treasury.
Let there be no niggardly appropria-
tions, either. Everything should be
done on a scale of splendor and mag
nifcence. 1t will be notable event in
our national history, and the country
is able to pay for all that it will cost.

Miss Irwin Wins Ii After q Short
Contest at Hamline.
The first of series of declamatory
contests to be given by the students Of
Hamline university in the interests Of
prohibition occurred yesterday after
noon in the university chapel at $3.50
O'Clock. Rev. &. F. Wells, a resident
of Hamlne, ana leading prohibition
ist OF the state, has been working for a
long time to introduce this Demorest
medal contest at Hamlne, and the sue
cess OF yesterdays initial effort is I'M
doubtedly most gratifying. There were
six contestants, both ladies and gentle
men, and the prize aimed at was a
beautiful silver medal. Mr.. Cunning
ham, of the props, spoke first.
His subject was 'Patriotic Prohi-
bition," and, for first apear-
anee, he did not do very badly. He was
followed by Miss Orxa Russell in dis
tinctly rendered prose article, entitled,
s'What Will We Do With the Saloon?'
Miss Russell speaks easily, and her
gestures are quite graceful.
The English Sparrow Must Co
What About the Liquor Vulture?" was
next given by Miss Cora Miller, petite,
blonde-haired Young girl, in half
humorous, half-sarcastic way, which
quF5e captiyated her audience. The Sc
lection itself was entertaining. Miss
MIXERS rendition of it made it doubly
so. The fourth on the list was a finely
rendered selection, called prohibition
the Hope of Our Country" by E. A.
Bean, of the junior class. Mr.. Bean
makes very good appearance On the
platform, ana adds to this all earnest
ness OF manner which makes itself felt
upon an audience. This was the same
defamation which won the diamond
medal at Chicago not long ago.
The last two numbers were both good

Miss Theodore Irvine carried Off the
honors of the contest and she well de-
served to do so-for her recitation of
"a Voice From the Poor House" was
artistic in every way. Miss Irvine's
voice is admirably adapted to the rendi-
ton of pieces in which patnOS FREEDOM
iuates, and her face could scarcely be
more expressive. She held the large
audience-even to the small boys in the
gallery-with closest attention, and the
perfect storm of applause which fol-
lowed her as she lett the rostrom was
sufficient evidence of how complete her
success had been.
The judges were DR.. Mckinley, of
Hamline, and Profs. PiersOn and Kirk
wood, of Manchester. They were unan-
imous in the decision, and the silver
medal was awarded Miss Irvine, and
delivered by Dr. Mckinley in very neat
little presentation speech at the close Of
the contest.

all the alien-grown hops. Those inn
ported are mostly from Germany, and are
used to mix with the native article in
the brewery business. 1t is the prac-
tice of the brewers in England and Ger
many also to mix the American hops
with the native article, as the mixture
improves the beer, but this country eX-
ports good deal more of the hops than
it imports. This export trade would be
greatly reduced il the Germans and
English could not send any of their
article to this country. as they would
have more of their own to use. The
foreign hops sell much higher than the
native in this country, and are rather
benefit than otherwise to the produc-
ton. The case but illustrates the DIS
position to disturb the laws of COM
mercial industry to establish monop-
olies.

STATE SENTIMENT.
Nelson for Governor.

Caledonia Argus.
The effort making to get the Demo-
cratic papers to bring out Knut Nelson
or governor is not marked success.
The feeling expressed is that, While
Nelson's votes and speeches on the
Mills bill were sound and right, his
course afterward renders it impossible
for Democratic convention to NOM
mate INN without stultifying itself.
When he gave out that interview in
which he said that 1--WE will down
Grover Cleveland first, and then go for
the trusts and monopOlies," he sacri-
feed all confidence in either his SINGER
ity as tariff reformer or in his common
sense. To ''down" the man whose pol
lev was the only one that would kill the
trusts and elect man whose policy
gave them existence was too palpably
foolish to warrant any one in thinking
that Mr.. Nelson believed what he said.

IS IT A TRICk /?

When Gov. MERRIAM slid over on
20 ALBERT SCHEFFER's tariff platform
ne little realized what a commotion he
was going to create in the protection
menagerie. He has stirred up the ami
mails in great shape, and between the
congratulations of the free traders and
the maledictions of the protection lists
he is having little game Of see-saw
that makes his head grow dizzy. The
news of his flop has spread far and
near, and, judging from the tone of the
Eastern press, the event has occasioned
more sensation abroad than at home.
Following so closely upon the Ohio and
IOWA elections, the Eastern politicians
are disposed to look upon Gov. MER-
RIAM's change of base as additional
evidence of the tendency OF the North
west to drift toward the CLEVELAND
tariff idea, and they are really in the
dumps about it. The tariff refOrmers
throughout the country are correspond
ingly eated, and in one or two instances
it has been seriously suggested that
Coy. MERRIAM would be available as
the Democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent in 1892. 1t is interesting to us
here at home, who understand the
moves on the political checker board, to
listen to what our Eastern friends have
TO say on this subject.
Reverting, however, to the home dis
cusSOn of the matter, one of the most
amusing efforts to gloss over the gov
ernors detection on the tariff question
hOun 10 10 nN
attempt of the Minneapolis Tribune to
make it appear that Gov. MERRIAM's
recent utterances are in entire harmony
with Republican principles as enun-
eiated in the Chicago platform and adj
Vocated by the Republican press and
orators during the late presidential
campaign. The Tribune starts out
with the bold declaration: 'If any
man holds that the protective pol
Icy isa mistake and a mischief, and at
the same time regards the tariff Ques-
tion as of paramount Importance, he is
out of place in the Republican party.
This party maintains protection be-
cause it believes that policy to be
right and to be beneficial to the country
at large" By any ordinary interpreta-
tion of language, the above would be
construed as an intention to read Gov.
MERRIAM and the members of the
Farmers alliance out of the Republican
party. If the Tribune gives a true
Statement of Republican principles, and
we accept it as such, it is utterly impos-
eible to harmonic Gov. MERRIAM'S
speech and the declaration Of principles
adopted by the alliance with the Repub-
lican idea. But the Tribune'S political
carpenter imagines that he can dove
tail one into the other and get perfect
union of the two opposing principles;
and it is the Tribune's ludicrous efforts
in this direction which afford amuSe-
Ment for the public. First of all, the
Tribune consoles itself with the belief
that GOV. MERRIAM didn't mean what
he sad-that it was not his intention to
shift his ground at all, but ''simply,
having helped to win the day for the
main principle. he proposes to make

Der: Wilfred Clark, of North Stoning-
ton, Conn.,, law senior, played game
of poker with John M. Verhotf, of
Louisville, KY, and lost, but raised
question which it was agreed should
be referred to the Police Ga
Zette for decision. A bet of
500 was made on the point. Later
Clark showed a letter, purpOrting to be
from the Police Gazette, sustaining his
view OF the case. Verhotf paid the 500
bet, but still insisted that he was right.
1t was then agreed to refer the matter
to the Clipper, and another 500 was
bet. Clark again produced decision
in his favor, apparently from the Clip
per. VerhOff paid the second 500, but
was suspicious, and wrote the Clipper
and Gazette people. He found they had
never written to Clark. Verhotf ac-
cused Clark of triclery, and Clark re-
turned the 5000 and gave check for
the amount he had lost to Verhoff.
Shortly afterWard, however, he asked to
see the check moment, and when it
was handed to him he put it in his
pocket and disappeared. His action so
diSguSted the students that they decided
to make the facts public.

COSTS BIN TOO MUCH.

Congressman PETERS, of Kansas, who
makes so wry face over the exactions
of service in congress and the absence
of adequate recognition, financially or
otherwise, processes an intention to re-
fuse to return there for another term.
There Is room for incredulity in the
matter, as no precedent is known in
Kansas history. He is probably fur
nishing standing ground for those who
want to enlarge the remuneration of
the congressman, indirectly or other
wise. His schedule of eXactions shows
an opportunity to obtain all the needed
exercise without joining any base ball
club, and the totals seem to exceed his
salary by $50 month. He says he pays
$3.50 a month for very ordinary room
at hotel, 500 month for stenog-
rapher and clerk. $50 to $40 month for
carriage hire to run about on errands
for his constituents, $50 or so per month
to an expert to look up land eases; and
he loans nearly as much to deadbeats
who claim to be his constituents. Pos
sibly Mr.. PETERS has mistaken the du-
ties of the congressman. Others can
cut off the bulk Of his items.

The case against Mr.. Dickinson was
