Now, gentlemen, what l plead for-and I
must be very brief, approaching that I am
trespGssIng upon the time OF other gentlemen
Is. that this occasion may be used to secure to
the Departments the much-needed buildings
and Offices Second. that when this exhibition
Is made it may he so made that it will have
permanent value; that when the day of adjourn
ment OF the Exposition comes it will not be
SIMPLY marked by the tearing down of the
buildings and the carrying away of materials.
Remarks of Gen'I Felix Agnus, Editor
Baltimore American.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemea Of the Committee:
l am an envoy, an ambassador, it may be
said, from The city of Baltimore and the State
OF Maryland, in this matter. We take great
interest in this coming Exposition. SO much so
that We were rather ambitious of even becom-
ing competitors in the race. But looking the
field earnestly over we felt that it was Ma
tional Exposition, and that it belonged to the
National Capital. We came to that conclusion
after calling meeting on the 14th of August
last OF our mann and prominent citizens. which
meeting was presided over by the Governor of
our State. At the meeting were present our
Governor. our Senators. and members of Com
gress. Our wealth was represented, our en-
thusiasm was great. and our resolutions were
warm. will ask Mr.. Anderson to please read
them.
Mr.. Anderson read the resolutions as follows:
"RsS0lU@l, That the Exposition of 1892 In
honor OF the iOJth Anniversary of the Dis
cCvery of America. is beyond the magnitude
ahI dignity OF a private corporation, or any in
d!vldual city, and should be held under the
joint auspices OF the United States and the

I think il would be a mockery to 20 to a county
seat You are to-day, gentlemen, the educa-
tors OF this country. You are TO decide how
the history OF the country is to be written
written on marble, SO that in future ages these
stones may be dug up, our libraries may be
burned, and nothing but these marble stones
left to tell who We were and what we were.
Are we to be known for generations and
generations to come? If We are to
have such earthquakes and revolutions as
We have heard in past ages passed over the
old nations on the north OF Africa, and want
to perpetuate our history, are we to understand
that the Exposition was located anywhere else
than at the National Capital at Washington?
Bear In mind, gentlemen. that your decision
is be written forever aud ever, for all time to
come.
You have had before you today men Of
science, like Major Powell, who are seeking in
Europe the history Of past ages. They are
craving for 1t; they are hungry for it, and one
Is almost forced TO contradict the other. Why?
just for such mistakes as might be made
in the decision Of this very committee. I am

full wharves and with steamers running to our
shores. Will they 90 thousand miles out of
the way to 60 to an eastern port? No; they
will seek your Southern ports, like New Or
leans. Pensacola, Charleston, or Savannah, and
even run up into Chesapeake Bay and Newport
News and Baltimore.
Then your centre OF population will again
Change. It is the greatness of the country that
makes this. 1t is tho thought that every man
feels that he is king within himself that makes
him bold and happy; but beg you, gentlemen
OF the Committee, to remember that when all
that great transformation comes Washington is
always the centre Of the Nation.

make a bouquet of Christmas flow

1t is pleasant to be able to Gem

In scanning the volume, for it is
big enough to be called a volume,
one can almost hear the rustic of

boxes, tempered by the soft lights
of the stage, and hear the ceiling!
