Some persons imagine That genius, Ike
the Republican politics Of this country, is
the monopoly of one section, and in this
opinion they are very much mistaken. The
population North in this country is com
posed OF mechanics, artisans and trades
people, while the South With its product
i've acres and sunny skies furnishes largely
the agricultural wealth Of that grand
division of the country.
But this is rule not without its excep-
tions, and notable exceptions, too, and SO
at the South. Among some Of its best
farmers are found men Of Northern birth
and education. On the other hand the
South furnishes its quota Of enterprising
men who come North and enter into fierce
and successful competition with some o!
our most active business men and capital
lists. The last number of the Scientific

ter Of the Refrigerator Company's stock and

protest against the narrow limitation, hold
ing The character of the stock was one of the
counter indictments.
Assistant Chief Bryant OF the Pension
Office testified that the completed cases
order expedited the settlement of some
claims and retarded others. More claims
had been adjudicated under the order than
before it had been made. He knew of no
preference shown any particular attorney.
To Commissioner Raum witness said that
while there had been larger output OF
claims under the new order than before
there had been greater haste in the prepara-
ton of cases and much rivalry between the
clerks. He did not say the work was i'm
properly done, but called attention 10 the
fact that some examiners were dispOsing OF
claims in less time than they could be prop
erly considered.
The Commissioner wished to know
whether witness had tried TO put stop to it.
Witness replied that he had not thought
of putting stop to it. The $1,000 cases put
on the completed files of the office had
been selected without partlality.
Judge Wilson said it had been stated that
Cooper had signed a large number of blank
calls upon the Pension Office for firm of
pension attorneys and he would like to have
Cooper make statement about it.
Cooper said he authorized his clerk to sign
large number of calls for pension firm in
his district, understanding that it had been
the custom. Perhaps there were 1900 or 1000
calls signed with his name. When he came
to Washington he spoke to Chief Durnan in
the Pension Office about it, and he doubted
whether it was fair to call up cases in that
way, but he must act for his constituents.
Durnan told him to sign the slips and ne
would do what he could with them. Cooper
did not think the slips were equivalent to a
Congressional call. The attorneys he signed
for had been neglected. He was told Lemon
at that time had practically control of the
Pension Office. Witness felt then and now
that If lie could do anything to help his
people he ought to do it. He felt they had
not a fair chance with the attorneys in
Washington.
Cooper asked the committee to pass upon
his resolution, which was referred to it, to
extend the scope of the Investigation. No de-
cision was made and the committee ad-
jOurned.

THE DUAL SITE.
Words Fair Directors Decide Upon Location
fnr the Exnnsitinr


CHICAGO, Sept l0.-Hon. Mark L. McDon-
aid OF California, Commissioner-at-large to
the Worlds Fair, reached Chicago Monday
to attend the second meeting of the Worlds
Columbian Commission. as also the meet
ings OF the committee on permanent organ
ization, of which he is a member.
The Directors of the Worlds Fair, at a
meeting yesterday, reaffirmed their choice
choice of some months ago and selected the
dual site of Lake Front and Jackson Park
as the place for the location of the great ex-
position. Lake Front is a long, grass-cov-
cred common on the edge of Lake Michigan
and bordering the business center of Chi
cago. 1t contains at present about ninety
acres. 1t is the design tn place thereon the
grand entrance to the exposition and build
ngs for fine arts and kindred displays.
jackson Park is also on the lake shore,
about five miles from the Courthouse, and
is to have the agricultural, live stock and
other exhibits of that nature, besides others
of general interest Four hundred acres are
available in jackson Park and the wide ap-
proaches thereto which were recently added
TO the original tender. The two sites are TO
be so connected by rail and water accommo-
dations that but few minutes will be spent
in passing from one locality to the other. A
final and decisive ballot on the site question
resulted: Lake Front and Jackson Park,
of the dual site was then made unanimous.
No action was taken regarding the ap-
poiDtrnent of DiIectOr-GeDeral. A COM
mittee of three was named to confer with
the Secretary of War touching the proposed
filing in Of portion OF the Chicago harbOr
at Lake Front.
The Committee of Permanent Organiza-
ti0n decided to-day TO make a personal visit
of inspection to jackson Park and its entire
surroundings Tomorrow, and it is reported
tonight that many members of the commit
tee as well as other Commissioners who are
in tie city, are of the opinion that the entire
Worlds Fair will be located at Jackson
Park excepting, perhaps, the building for
fine arts, which may be located upon Lake
front. The contest over the Director Gen.
era slip is now assuming an interesting
phase and every National Commissioner of
influence is sought after in the interests of
the various candidates. Tonight there are
forty y-one members of the National Commits
sion in Chicago, and others are constantly
arriving. The National Commission will
meet on Monday next.
Commissioner Mcdonald is very much In
tere-ted in the great meeting of Californans,
which will be held In San Francisco to-
morrow, where several hundred delegates,
representing the government of each
county in the State, and commercial indus
trie-, scientific and educational associations
of each county, will be present. Mcdonald
said to an Associated Press representative
tonight that the people of California will
act promptly and decisiyely. and California
can and will make an exhibit with the aim
to surpass that OF any other State in the
Union, and he hoped nothing will be left
undOne to further that end.
