The St Louis Republic is bent on having
worlds fair in that city ami proposes
now that the event of the acquisition of
what was then known as the Louisiana
territory, embracing a large scope of
the country west OF the Mississippi
river, be cummenorated at the centen-
NAL period, in 1903. The event was an
important one 10 the government and
the territory secured and it VIII be fit

pressing her claim to the worlds fair for
1899, j. e., her central location and &C
feasibility to the largest scope of country
be admissible in the 1908 event. then
Wichita will have the strongest claim
for the location OF the great event here.

WHAT WORLDS FAIRS COST.

The total expense of the Philadelphia
centennial exposition in 1916 was $6,312,-
$50. OF this sum only $2,312,31o was
paid in stock, the state OF Pennsylvania
appropriating 81, 000.0 600 and the city of
Philadelphia 81, 500, 600, and the United
States government loaning $1,500,0O0.
The total proceeds of the exhibition
were 81, S21, 325, and of this sum 1884,
29O. or almost two-thirds of the total
outlay. were received for admission at
the gates. Other items included in the
total receipts were 1926, 030 for conces-
sions, and 1920, 142 for the sale of build
ings, and $159, 1866 for general sales. The
government received back its 81, 800, 600,
the city received in grounds, gradings.
bridges and drainage $650.930, and the
stock holders received $517, $50 and Me-
mortal hail. worth $1,564, 1893. The en-
terprise, therefore. from a financial point
of view, as well as III every other re-
spect, was highly successful. The Paris
exposition of 1889 cost nearly ST., 600, coo.
The figures will give Chicago a pretty
good idea of what will be required of
he. If she undertakes rto eclipse Phila-
delphia, even. and of course she will,
she will have to do like the hen that was
put to sit on forty eggs. But her ability
to spread is her greatest boast, and she
may make it.

In Pennsylvania it is the intention of
the secretary of the state board of agri
culture to make the next quarterly re-
port of the board largely compendium
of matters pertaining to roads, road
laws. road construction and road repairs.
The question of roads is the one most
largely attracting public attention at the
present time in that state. As the opin-
ions of many men Will no doubt be gwen
in the forthcoming report, something
ought to be advanced that will lead TO
practical. acceptable and satisfactory re-
suits. The question of roads is one that
does not require as much attention in
Kansas as IN most of the states. In dry
weather the Breads generally equal to
turnpikes for firmness and smoothness,
and although they are affected very
readily by wet weather. such seasons
are of short duration and the roadways
regain their normal condition in q re-
markably short time.

AN UTOPIAN IDEA.

In attempting a defense of its course
in channpioning the cause of McCabe for
governor of Oklahoma and favoring the
scheme Of turning that territory over to
the colored race to be constructed into
negro state, the Topeka Capital quotes a
short declaration that 1t finds In the
treaty between the United States and
the Creek and Seminole Indians wherein
it is stated that the lands oklahoma
thus secured were wanted by the gov
ernment for the purpose of locating
friendly Indians and freedmen upon
them. What the governments inten-
tons were at that time has nothing to
do with the case at this time. The
lands were declared open to settlement
at a stated time and no restrictions We're
placed upon their occupancy other than
are provided in the general laws on that
subject The lands have been settled,
indiscriminately as TO race and former
nationality, by citizens of the United
States and the government has no more
right or power 10 vaCate the claims of
such settlers than il has to annul the
title to lands III any state or other terri
tory.
The colored people had an equal
chance with the whites in entering upon
and taking possession of the lands of
Oklahoma, and those who did SO are as
secure in their holdings as any other
settlers, and also in the enjoyment of
their rights and privileges as citizens,
but no more so than other people. The
idea of erecting negro state IN Okla
homa, or the territory as whole, may
have been feasible enough at one time,
but that time is past and it is useless to
discuss il now

THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERS

The Ohio river is so swollen by the foods
THAI it is fifty miles wide near its junction
with the sippi-Exchange
The Ohio is very nearly up to its
highest record, but instead of beng fifty
miles wide near its junction with the
Mississippi il is not more than five miles
wide at any point for several miles up
from its mouth. On the Kentucky side
a range Of hills from sixty to one
hundred and twenty-five feet high skirt
the river bottom that is not more than
two miles wide, and on the opposite side
the Mississippi river is not more than
four OF five miles away for some dis
lance. Aud, besides, floods rarely &C.
cur in both streams at the same time, SO
that the high water from either flows
out more rapidly when the other IS not
up, thus preventing a great overflow as
would occur should both come up
simultaneously. And, again, the low
banks and wide on the Missouri
side of the Mississippi from the con-
iiuence south admit Of an immense over
flow, III some places extending over
twenty miles. The overflow amounts to
but little. comparatively, on the east
side until the Kentucky-Tennessee state
line is past, when the east bottom widens
out several miles and extends down to
near Memphis, where the high ground
iuts up to the river bank again. And so
on all the way down to the Louisiana
state line. The greater portion Of the
lands along the lower Mississippi that
are subject to overflow are on the west
side of the river.

The Pail Mall Gazette says the report

Ruler ventured to hope for. If the view

port convicts the Parnellites as criminal
conspirators, what must the Ministers
do with them? They cannot expel
them from the Commons. On
tho contrary, they have promised
already to introduce bill handing over
the local government of Ireland to these
convicted criminals. The Ministers must
disseverate themselves publicly from
such views, otherwise they will find
themselves in an embarrassing dilemma
