This part of the country has always been
solid on the tariff. II only few out of the
many rumored new tin plate mills that are
spoken of for Pittsburg actually materiaIize,
everybody hereabout will like the tariff all

localities of book writers and magazinist
doctrinaires do not count against smoke
stacks and the whirr of busy wheels, and
several thousand more well-paid mechanics
added to our population. Figs of this sort
are not usually gathered from thorns.

SECRECY OF THE BALLOT,

Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic State
Committee, has asked Chairman Andrews,
of the Republican Committee, to respond
with him to the general demand for secrecy
of the ballot by having the ballots of both
parties at the coming election printed in
uniform style. To this invitation Mr..
Andrews has not yet replied. 1t would
be a good thing if the uniformity
of ballots could be secured by mutual con-
sent, but the warmth of the campaign makes
such an event unlikely. But Mr.. Kerr
rightly gauges the popular feeling in this
matter. There is certainly a strong interest
in ballot reform among the mass of voters
In this state.

LOOKING AFTER THE DRUGGISTS.

The State Board of Pharmacy, which is
at present in session in Pittsburg, has done
no little good already in the State by driv-
ing incompetent and unqualified dealers in
drugs from the business. The public is deeply
interested in the proper qualification of the
men who practice as pharmacists and
we are glad to hear that the State Board in
tends to prosecute those who have not full
filled the conditions required by law. Fatal
mistakes in prescription compromising have
been rare in Pittsburg of late, and it is fair
to attribute this to the watchful eye of the
State Board of Pharmacy.

THE BIG TIME COMING.
Manifesto of the Director General of tn
Worlds Fair to the Press.

Worlds Fair to the Press.
CHICAGO, October THE following mani
festo signed by George R, Davis, Director
General of the Columbian Exposition, was is
sued tonight. addressed to the press OF the
United States:
THE undersigned has been elected to the
position of Director General of the Worlds
Fair. Chicago 1898, by the joint action of the
National Commissioners and the Board of
Directors. In accepting this important posi-
tion, he accepts all its responsibilities and
trusts that with the aid of the press of this
country, this great international exhibition
may prove to be such a success that will be
credtable to the American nation. By act of
Congress it is provided that the buildings for
the Worlds Fair shall be dedicated on the 18th
of October, 1892 and that the exposition shall
be open to visitors on the lst day of May, 1893
and closed not later than the Both day of
October thereafter. Thus we have two years
in which to arrange the grounds and erect the
buildings, and seven months additional in
which to receive and place the exhibits
$50 far as this country is concerned, the un.
dersigned feels justified in the statement that
the presentation of the agricultural and stock
products will be in every respect superior TO
any previous exhibition, also that in manufact-
ures and inventions the progress of the United
States VIII be indicated In most remarkable
manner. There is also every reason to antici-
pate exhibits in large numbers from every
other nation on the globe. it being estimated
by practical experts that the total number of
exhibits Will not be less than $1,000 divided
equally between the United States and all for
eiGn nations. 1t is proposed to make this eX-
hibition specially interesting in all that relates
to manufactures by the presentation of the
most important processes in active operation.
In comparison with these will be presented the
methods used in foreign countries 400 years
since.
ALREADY there are indications that nearly
every State and Territory in the Un-
Ion will be fully represented, and that
large appropriations bill will be made at the
approaching session of different State Legisla-
lures. Circulars and blank applications for
space will be forwarded in due season to all in
tending exhibitors.
"The undersigned would call upon the press
of the United States to hold up his hands in
this great international undertaking, which. if
successful, will establish the name of America
as the first nation on the globe"

IT is rather stunning to find the staid
Philadelphia Ledger remarking that the
growth of 102 per cent shown in the population
of Binghamton, New York, SIS due to its i'm
portant railroad connections and large manu-
featuring interests. and not to the fact that it
is the site of the New York State Asylum for
1nebriates." While the Ledger was on that
theme 1t should have completed by noting the
fact that if all the inebrIates in New York were
sent to Binghamton that lovely little city
would count its population by hundreds of
thousands.
