THE Brenham Banner amuses
itself and fools its readers by printing
such nonsense as this:
"Rlaine's condition is causing con.
siderable anxiety at Washington
where the president has to act as sec
rotary of state. 1t is rumored that
Blaine is a physical wreck and that
his mind is wandering"
The only anxiety that Blaine is
causing just now Is in democratic
circles, where the plumed knight is
regarded with righteous dread as tho
sworn foe of the free trade hosts.
Blaine's mind is not wandering so far
but that he will be able to concen
trate it on democratic defeat at the
proper time.

WORLDS FAIR.

Notwithstanding the complaint 81
generally made of apathy in matters
pertaining to the Worlds fair, the
sum of $2,775, 900 has already been
appropriated by the several states.
In addition to this Chicago has APP
propriated 5000, 900, aud the federal
government 81 10000 At the Phil
adelphia centennial in 1876 the federal
government gave $649, $50, Philadel-
phis gave 81 100000, and the state
appropriations aggregated Sl,5l7,000.
For the centennial the government at
Washington loaned the sumof 81, $780,
900, which was afterward repaid. In
Guiding government loan Philadel-
phia had SIS, 266, $50 for exposition pur-
poses, while Chicago has already
secured 50, 277, 900. Philadelphia gave
81 SOC, 900; Chicago has given $780,
900 and is raising al additional S.
900, 900. All the states outside of
Pennsylvania gave $780,, 900 in 1876
All the states outside of Illinois give
81, 775, 900 IN 1891. The contributions
to the Philadelphia centennial are all
counted; those to the Chicago worlds
exposition are very imperfectly COM
puted, as more appropriations are to
follow. These figures show that the
work Of 1892 will be infinitely en-
larged beyond that of 1876. More
foreign nations Will participate, and
the Latin American nations will |
come together as never before in any
exposition or on any occasion. The
total expenditures of the government,
Chicago and the several states of the
Union will not be less than SIS ,O0O, 900

because President Harrison paid out
$4,000 for his western trip and did
not keep it to aid the campaign fund
of 1892. They think that Cleveland's

campaign purposes.

son Square garden this year greater and
more notable assemblages Of canine aris-
tocracy than was ever seen before. Many
of the finest dogs to be procured in Eng
land, Russia and Germany will be on ex-
hibition side by side with the pride of
American kennels, and may find them
selves outranked in the contest, for the
enterprise and skill of the American
breeders have gone as far as it is possible,
and at the New York show there will be
specimens which cannot be surpassed.
There will not be many of the last field
trial winners at the coming show, not be-
cause a good share of the winners came
from England, but from the fact that the
dreaded distemper has carried off two or
three of the most noted dogs, and others
are only Just recovering. There will be
future winners on hand though. Mr..
George Jarvis will have his brace of
pointers, which he intends to run in the
trials next year. LAD" has already won
first at New York, being successful in the
puppy class last year.
1t is in the Irish setter rank that more of
"the coming" will be heard Of. At the last

Mr.. Contoit and others will then bring

whatever, can stand against their "Oirish-
