Ivh,- may not this struggle to the death between
,hc different Sides in Chicago be settled IN some
way There is the booming West Side. the grow

attractive Lake Front or East Sidc-cannot a
pcarc he matched up? They can't all have the
Fair-that is they can't all have it in the clumsy
way they are going at it. The Tribune Is proud OF
the fact that it is able 10 offer Chicago some
comnromisc this morning without money and with
out price.
Tribune Compromise No. l. Divide the Fair

North side discomfort. Then what have we left
for tie Lake Front? 4 whole world of things
vegetables and music. shipbuilding and s'atuary,

stead of the Fair booming real estate on one
patrv side. It will whoop it up all over the whole
grand imperial city Of Chicago.
Tribune COMPROMISE 80 .: Have the Fair

Chicago need not take up with this plan unless
she wishes TO- for We have another, aud 1t Is
really tie gem of the collection
Tribune Compromise 40. 3 Pat the show on
Wheels Borrow the idea Of the Kansas Court
House where there is competition between bulld-
crs as T. which can furnish the Understanding
county capitol. This looks like an impossihlllfy
af FIRST sight. hut We are convinced that chicago
genius and Chicago engineering skill ar equal
- IT, II is simply a question o. strength. AS
fha Fair buildings tower above the Kansas
Court House. SO must the wheels under them cN-
coed those under tie Court House in size and
sustaining power. With tie exhibition once on
wheels II can be- troticd around 10 all the diiennt
Sides each day. The moves can take the form
IF % grand popular procession with Il steam
calliopc. bra,s bands foreign digultaries in car
riaecs Wild animals loose IN the streets, militia
ON horseback, and on down TO the humble
citizen ON foot always condemned 10 bring
up procession.
This would keep the exhibition moving most
If tie time. but that is the way Chicago has
achieved her prcatncsS-by keeping on the move.
Siagnaton is death. let Chicago rise in her
strength and settle her rcbcllious Sides
