A Troub1esome Question.

The question Of 81 c for the " 2rld's fair
is proving to be very troublesome one for
the people Of Chicago. The most of them
thought that it was settled when the de-
cision of tie local directors in favor of a
divided site-the lake front and Jackson
park. the two places being six miles apart
was approved by the national fair commit
tee, but il seems they we're mistaken. The
city council has placed conditions upon the
OCCUPATION Of the lake front that are so
burdensornet that it would greatly embarrass
the directors Of the fair to accept them.
Il would cost more than 81, 900, 900 TO fill in
as much Of the lake front as the city coun-
ell insists shall be occupied.
But a divided site Is by no means salts
factory TO a great many of those who pur-
pose to have exhibits at the fair The Illinois
State Board Of Agriculture has appointed
committee to present its objections to the
Illinois legislature, which met yesterday.
and which is expected TO authorize the
Issue Of bonds TO issist the fair financially.
This committee declares that the farmers of
the state object to divided site for the
reason that the agricultural exhibits would
be separated a long distance from tho
other EXHIBITS, and therefore there would not
be as much interest taken in them as there
would be if all the exhibits were on an I'M
divided site.
There is much force in what the commit
tee says, and its arguments will not be
without effect with the legislature. 1t is
true the legislature has nothing to do with
choosing the site, but it can refuse t. au-
thorize bonds to be issued for the benefit of
the fair, and if it should be convinced
that the site ought to DO an undivided one, it
may do that unless its views are complied
with.
All the space necessary can be obtained at
jackson park, and that place would have
been selected for the entire fair if various
private interests had not interposed to pre-
vent it. 1t is beginning to be apparent
that if Chicago DOESN'T settle the site ques-
tion pretty soon the country will become
disguised with the whole fair business and
the fair will be a failure.

Says the Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald: There are several
hundred Mormons in Wyoming territory,
and by the favor of republican legislation
they can all vote, and their wives and
daughters with them. They are not dis
franchised by test oath as in Idaho, be-
cause SO many of them have been willing
to vote the republican ticket. They resent
the treatment of their church in Idaho and
Utah, and are likely at the coming election
to vote against the dominant party. Alto
gether it would not be surprising if repub-
lican discussions and democratic unity
brought Wyoming into the democratic
column" What solemn nonsense. 1t was
only recently that the statement was made
that the Mormons are all democrats, and
even Senator Vance expressed that CHROME
GUS opinion. The Mormons are Just what
their name implies; they are neither demo
Gratis nor republicans. They ara for Nor
monism first, last and all the time. and
their voting with one party or the other
would indicate nothing more than that they
were acting for what they considered the
best interests of Mormon institutions They
can gain nothing by voting the democratic
ticket in Wyoming, and their few votes
would hardly affect the republican plurality
of over $500. The democrats must and
viii rely on their own strength for victory
in Wyoming.

The stories circulated by republican or
gans about the manner in which the black
republicans in Georgia are cheated out of
their rights at the polls and white demo-
Gratis elected to state and county offices even
when black republicans are in a majority,
which are published TO influence the passage
of the force bill, strike the New York
Erening Post as absurd and very naturally
so. Assuming, for the sake of argument,
that the stories are true, how could the
passage of the force bill improve the negroes
condition in this respect, when the election
at which state and county officers are
chosen is held in October.

Chandler Makes a Point.

Senator Chandler says that if the repub-
licans should fail to pass the federal election
bill the result, in all probability, would be
the disintegration of the Republican party,
because the black voters in the north would
desert 1t and leave 1t without majority in
several OF the greatest of the republican
states. According to Chambers view.
therefore, the election bill must be passed
and the south made the scene of serious
disturbances in order that the Republican
party may be able to keep a firm grip upon
the northern black vote. II would seem as
II any man pretending to b. a statesman
who would make an admission like this
would be conscious of feeling of shame
Chandler, doubtless, thinks that any act.
however infamous and outrageous, which
would enable his party to hold on to the
government. is justi6able.
1t is true that in number of the repub.
lican states the blacks hold the balance of
power. Their votes give those states to the
Republican party, but have they ever re-
csived any recognition Of the assistance
which they have rendered that party? How
many of them have been appointed to i'm
portant offices by this Administrations Has
any black man of Massachusetts, or New
York, or Indiana, or Ohio been given a
first class appointment, or even a second
class ones
few black men have been given places
as janitors and spittoon cleaners in the
public buildings at Washington, and that is
about all. They have been almost as CON-
pletely ignored as if their voting strength
counted for nothing Why is thiss Is it
not because there is prejudice against the
blacks in the norths If the administration
should appoint them postmasters, internal
revenue collectors, collectors of customs,
etc., as it does in the south, its popularity
would suffer a great decline.
But the northern black vote must be held
somehow, and according to Chandler it is
to be held by enacting an election bill, in
order to convince the blacks that the Re
publican party is their friend, and their
only friend. When a party descends to
such means to retain control of the govern
ment it is time for the people to become
suspicious of it. 1t is certainly entitled to
confidence no longer. If it can coolly plan
the ruin of the business and industrial in
terests of very large section of the coun-
try with no higher motive than to retain
its hold upon a class of voters in another
section it is an organization that is danger
GUS to the liberties of the people.
