against Russia by building railways and

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prspAroE r

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHr
CHICAGO, July At is surprising how
much dissatisfaction there is among people
who are interested in the Columbian Expo
sition over the selection of site. The
Lake Front and Jackson Parb-separated
from each other by about eight miles-have
been formally recommended by the local
directory. and the National Commission
has, in a certain sense, adopted these two
parks as the site. Yet, it BY no means fol-
lows that the Exposition will be held at
either place.
There are serious legal obstacles to be
overcome before either piece OF ground can
be appropriated for this use, and there are
plenty OF citizens ready to go into court in
opposition to the erection of buildings on
either. Indeed, bill has already been filed
to prevent the use OF the Lake Front.
A RAILROAD ATTITUDE.
Then, assuming that these difficulties are
overcome, it will be necessary to make an
arrangement with the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company, whose track runs through
the Lake Front Park, BY which the
limits of the park can be extended
by filling in the lake. The shrewd
managers of that company have already
unless they receive more than an equivalent,
and, in the crowded condition of the Chicago
courts it will be impossible to force them
by law, in season to be ready for the eI-
position in 1893
In view of all the facts there is still more
than a mere possibility that the fair may be
held wholly at Jackson Park which con-
tains over 600 acres, or may go to the site of
one mile square on the,prairie near Pullman,
which has been Internationally offered by
George NJ. Pullman, or that it may go to
the West Side, where it will be geograph-
ically nearer the centre of the city than at
any other point.
SCHEMERS AT WORK.
A gentleman who, though not a commits
sioner, has attended many OF the meetings Of
the commissioners and who is thoroughly
well informed, gave the following interest
ing explanation of this case. The direct
ors, many OF them, and many of the largest
stockholders, are either Southside people or
have invested in Southside property, on the
supposition that the fair would be located at
jackson Park, and with the expectation Of
making big profit on their investments.
believe that if the real facts
were known, it would appear that the action
of the commission was designed to allow
some of these parties to "nedge" on their
investments by selling out and investing in
West Side property as soon as they see that
jackson Park and the lake front site are
impracticable. Ii jackson Park had been
rejected, number of the best friends Of the
Exposition would have lost money on their
real estate in that vicinity.
''The apparent selection of Jackson Park
will enable them to unload at at least as
good figures as they paid and buy else
where"

COMPLAINTS OF THE CHRISTIANS.
The Armenian Patriarch Petitions the Sultan
for Relief.

CoNsTANTINoPLE,- July 4.-The Ar
menian Patriarch has sent to the Sultan a
note giving details of the grievances of the
Armenian Christians. He says that numer-
Gus Armenians have been arrested on the
mere suspicion of wrong doing, that their
churches have been profaned and other OUT
RACES committed against them.
In conclusion, he declares that he will re-
sign the Patriarnhate unless the grievances
complained OF are remedied and justice is
done

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.'
NEW YORK, July 4.-Tammany's Fourth
was celebrated with glitter and glory, flags
and flowers, brass band music and good
cheer, and with unanimous recognition of
the national issue forced upon the Demo-
cratic party by the Republican majority in
Congress. The eloquence OF orators of ma
tional reputation made the crowd and
swelterlng council chamber attractive to
thousands.
Grand Sachem Abram B. Tappan pre-
sided, and his address OF welcome seemed to
be a keynote to the talk of the day. He
said that it is now more than ever the patri-
otic duty of good citizens to remember the
Fourth, and its significance, when the parti-
san majority in the halls OF Congress, in
temporary ascendancy, seeks TO perpetuate
its power by outrage and usurpation.
BYNUM THE ORATOR.
The orator of the day, the Hon. William
d. Bynum, was introduced. OF course, that
could not be done without a reference to his
having dared to defy the wrath of Speaker
Reed and to his pride in having received the
censure of the majority Tor it. Mr.. BYnum's
hearty reception and the three cheers that
accompanied it testified to Tammany's love
of fighter. He smiled with pleasure aud
said, a ter Democratic definition of what
the day means:
For months the people have witnessed, not,
believe, without indignation, the presiding
officer of the House of Representatives assume
unwarranted powers, trample upon the rights
of Representatives and override the most
sacred provisions of the Constitution for the
purpose of robbing constituencies of their
ughtful representation. Practices established
and precedentS observed and revered from the
foUn dation of the Government have been
ignored by the Speaker with a rudeness akin
to barbarism, and even his own words and
arguments uttered under the solemnity of the
most sacred obligation that could be admins
tered TO freeman, that of preserving and de-
Tending the Constitution of his country were
when cited in condemnation of his conduct are
scotfed and jeered at by himself and his par
tisans as if they were but the idle vaporings of
q bTainless demagogue on the sand lots of San
Francisco.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

An Example That Every Christian De-
nomination Should Follow.
An order just issued by Mr.. Bramwell
Booth, on behalf of the general of the
Salvation Army, in reference to the use
of tobacco. is as follows: Soldiers
should consider the evils that follow
the use of tobacco in every form, and
the Importance of abstaining from it.
They should remember that it is Q) in
furious to health, (9 uncleanly, (3)
waste of money, AZ a disagreeable infiic-
ton upon those about them and ~ an
unnatural habit of self indulgence for
which there is no justification. Never
theless it is not rule that no person
shall be soldier who smokes, but smok-
ing must bar soldier from any promo
tion. He cannot, so long as he smokes,
be or remain sergeant, bandsman, SER
geant major, secretary or treasurer. In
short, he can hold no office in the army.
No drinker can become member of the
Salvation Army.

GAVE BEER TO GET VOTES.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster Confesses the Truth
to English Audience.
Speaking recently at a meeting of the
United Kingdom alliance in London, J.
Ellen Foster is reported as follows by
The Alliance News:
referring to some questions raised by
Mr.. Raper, Mrs. Foster said that twen-
ty-ive years before the adoption of the
Prohibition amendment in Iowa it had
been unlawful in that state to make or
sell spirituous liquors. Prior to that
they had complete prohibition from all
Intoxicating liquors by statute. That
was in 1855, but after little more than
one year the legislature put into the law
a clause excepting wines and beer The
reason was that immigration had just
begun to flow toward her country. The
west was opening up and Germans were
coming there in large numbers The
Republican party-then newly formed
asked the Germans for their votes, and
in return gave the facilities for obtain
ing beer. The German voted, and he
got his beer.
"Many people were then, as now, un-
der the impression that beer and wine
were not SO bad as spirits. For twenty
five years all they did was to struggle
against the wine and beer clauses, and
then some of them thought it would be
best to try and put entire prohibition
into the constitution. 1t was the fact that
the supreme court and the state had de-
clared the constitutional amendment i'm
properly submitted, and therefore of no
effect. But for all that the legislature
passed the law, in harmony with the ex-
press wishes of the people, which Sc
cured Prohibition. Despite the decision
Of the courts she held, and many lead
ing jurists in her state held, that the
amendment of the constitution was
properly passed"

The largest temperance meeting ever
held in this state was held Aug. 6, Z and
8. 1t was the annual bush meeting,
which began fifteen years ago under tho
auspices Of the Good Templars, but is
now conducted by the Prohibition party.
There were present the first day about
5000 persons, when Judge Moulton and
James c. Lee, of Washington, were the
speakers. Ten thousand people listened
to st. John and Van Bennett, and 1000
people were charmed by the sweet songs
of Lily Runals, of New York. Governor
st. John, Van Bennett, Rev. Scott F.
Hershey and Rollo Kirk Bryan addressed
the multitude the last day. The exer-
cises throughout We're of great interest,
and there were many votes made for the
Prohibition party. Loudoun county, in
which the meetings We're held, with the
exception of one district, is under local
option.

To drink, or not to drink;
That is the question;
Whether 1t is noble to suffer
The stings and arrows of
Depraved appetite, or make scoot
For the nearest saloon, and by
Getting glorious end them?
To imbibe; to soak your head; to sleept
And by that sleep to say we end
The headache and thousand natural
Shocks the bloat is heir to,
'Tis conSummation devoutly
To be wish'd. To drink, to guzzle;
Perchance to get the Jim jams;
Aye, there's the rub;
For in that frolicsome mood
What cop may come when
We have painted the town
A fiery red must give us pause.
There's the respect that makes us
Hold our horses. For who
Would bear the yearning for rum,
The desire for beer, the thirst
For whisky punch, the appetite
For the exhilarating cocktail,
When he himself might cook
His goose with a shoo-fy flaskp
Who would grunt and sweat
Under a sober life, but that
The dread of the aftsrclap,
That cheerless calaboose from
Whose bourne no festive cuss
Returns for less than S15S5,
Puzzles the will, and makes us
Rather bear the ills we have
Than run the risk of
Getting In the soup? Thus conscience
Does make towards of us all,
And thus the desire to get full
Is sickled DER with the pale
Cast Of thought, and visions OF
A high heeled time with this regard
Are knocked galley west,
And leave us dry as fish.
