Hold Chicago to the Contract

Mr. EDWIN WALKER Of tho Chicago Fair
Directory Is drawing up bill. which will
DO introduced into Congress. providing for
an appropriation OF $5.OOO.OO0 for tho Fair.
Tho committee that accompanies Mr..
WALKER to Washington to solicit aims for
Chicago twill DO fortified with facts and flg-
ures showing the necessity Of Federal aid"
There are two facts. within the knowledge
OF Chicago and the country, which estop
Congress from giving. and ought to estop
Chicago from asking, for another cent for the
Fair. Chicago promised not to ask for any
such grant from tho Government. Con-
gress. under the impression that this prom
les was sincere and would be binding. ex-
pressly stipulated In tho Worlds Fair act
that tho Government should not be Liable
on account Of any expenses incident to or
growing out Of said Exposition for a sum
exceeding In the aggregate S1.5O0. 00O."
Chicago promised to depend upon herself.
tho State Of Illinois. and tho muniHcence Of
hcr own citizens. Upon the strength Of
tl,nt promise, now shamelessly denied or
conveniently forgotten, Congress passed
tho Worlds Fair act. The Government
: has fulfilled its part OF the contract. Chi
cago should he held to the fultilment Of its
own voluntary promise.
II Chicago had asked for 81. GOO. 900 in April.
1870. tho act OF April Is. 1900, would
never havo been passed. II, by the reck-
lessness Of the local directory. or by the de-
sire Of Chicago to mako the show and its
own profits tllerefrom larger. 1t has become
convenient for the city to beg from the
United States fivo million dollars, Con-
gross has no concern with the matter. The
Government has done all it said 1t would.
Chicago has not. The more money that can
be spent upon the show. the fatter the Re-
publican party Of Illinois. But, politics
aside. Chicago should be held to her con-
tract. She has been fairly treated. Unless
her own contribution is largely gas, she
has enough with the grant from the Gov
eminent and the appropriations which have
been or will be made by the several States
TO pay for all reasonable expenses Of the
Fair. When she comes before Congress to
ask for money. she should be met with q
polite but firm refusal. The Worlds Fair
should get from Congress an investigation.

present Mexican Government When Presi-
dent DIAz came into power Mexico was over
run with bandits. who Galloped through the
rural regions. plundered tho villages. levied
blackmail upon the owners OF hacIendas, and
terrorized the population. The Mexican troops
were forever fighting or pursuing them. Some
OF them were shot at times; some. when taken
alive were executed. and some were locked up
In black holes to brighten their comrades: but
neither the army nor the civil power was able
to exterminate them or to drive them from
their Businesses In the mountains and forests.
President D1Az determined to adopt new
method Of dealing with them. and Congress
approved his policy. He issued proclama-
leo. urging them to give up their ways, which
were evil. hard. and dangerous. inviting them
to enlist In the army and promising them rank
or promotion according to their merits or their
services. It was not long before II became evi-
dent that the new policy would be successful
Bandit chiefs appeared at the military posts,
surrendered. took the oath. Joined the army.
and became trusted soldiers. The Govern
ment kept It's promise to them: some Of them
who brought In their gangs were made Cap
tains. and some have risen to the rank OF
Colonel. II not Of General. Thousands OF the
bandits OF Mexico were thus brought into the
military service. and the majority Of them
have done credit TO their uniform.
Within the past ten years Mexico. under the
policy Of D1Az. has been almost entirely freed
from the terror Of the banditti who formerly
ravaged the country and defled the troops. Tho
rampant GAnz1A. who has been doing busi-
ness along the Rio Grande for the past few
months. is about the last man OF his kind In
Mexico.
In Offering to surrender for $4,000 cash or
. consulate in the United States. GARzIA has
given President DIAz an opportunity Of parley-
ing with him. Perhaps tho outlaw may be in
duced to accept Captaincy or Colonelcy In

What was simost Q serious ace ident oc.
Cured in the railroad yard few rods below
the Rine's hill crossing about 8 80 P. M.
Tuesday. The shifting engine WAS engaged
in removing some coal cars from the track
nearest the river when special freight No.
" came in and the switch being open ran
into the shifting engine with such force
that several Of the cars to which the shifter
was attached were run off the track and the
third from the engine was broken open 10
the middle and thrown clear from the
track in two separate pieces. The COW
catcher OF the special n was shattered 80
that 1t was necessary to remove it. Con-
ductor Clement and Engineer Murch of the
special would not talk on the matter,
but il was understood that their claim
is that the signal was not for them
to stop. However it is not known positively
that this Is their claim and those who were
down on the track very soon after the &C,
cident say that the signal was all right, in
dicaiing that the special was to stop outside
The switch was open to admit Of the switch
ing engine being backed out with coal cars.
and the special coming in with the force
necessary to haul the heavy freight made
the shock such that II Is almost wonderful
that the cars were not thrown clear from
the track into the river. If it had been q
passenger train instead Of the heavy freight
1t is probable that the cars or come Of them
at least would have been hurled over the
steep bank. As it was the dsmsge was
quickly repaired aud trstiic was not inter.
fered with
