FORCE BILL AND THE FAIR.
NEW YORK NOT TO CONTRIBUTE AN
EXHIBIT OR A SINGLE DOLLAR.

From he Nee lork s,a.

From he Nc,g I'ork SiW.
The proposed Worlds Exposition to be
held in Chicago within the next few
years Is not national enterprise. II is
Republican enterprise only, and under the
circumstances IL should be treated as
strictly Republican by every state where
the Democratic party has control of the
Legislature.
A National Worlds Exposition was set
ON foot in New York city. 1t asked moth
ing of the Republican Congress and the
Republican President beyond that simple
recognition which appeared to be neces-
sary in order properly to invite foreign
powers to take part in II and to send their
productions for exhibition. No money
was asked for. New York was ready and
able to bear the expense without help
from the Federal Treasury.
But the Republican party would not
consent even TO our spending our own
money for such purpose. New York
could not he allowed TO enjoy even this
bare recognition, this costless compliment,
because Nee York is a Democratic State,
aad Ne~ York ,eity a. Democratic, torn;
That was the only motive, the sole and
exclusive reason for the refusal. The
Exposition was given to Chicago because
Illinois is Republican, and Chicago was
believed to be, especially with the Fair
located there, q sure and steadtast Repub-
lican city.
The Chicago Fair, then, is Il Republican
Fair an anti-Democratic Fair, Il partisan
political undertaking, and not n genuine
exhibition of modern science, art and in
dustry without any mixture of politics in
it, as the Fair of 1892 would have been in
New York. As merely Republican en-
terprisc il should be regarded without
sympathy by all patriotic Democratic
people.
Having thus poisoned the idea and
scheme of the Fair by making it merely
| and intensely partisan, the Republicans
| in Congress have since gone on to develop
| and crowd upon the country an atrocious,
revolutionary Force bill which is to sup
| press the Democracy everywhere, and by
The most cunning political machinery
ever devised put the Democratic majority
| permanently under the heel of the Re
| publican minority. TO accomplish this
revolving purpose they, are willing to de-
| stroy business, to check prosperity, to re-
duce the masses toward poverty, to create
| unknown calamities in the mad pursuit
of an imagined permanent domination of
| the country to be exercised by themselves,
| In this dire emergency, and with the
| immense public evils which we have
limited at almost staring us in the face, do
these fanatical and reckless Republican
conspirators suppose that their partisan
Exposition in Chicago will receive the aid
and support of single Democratic State?
If they do, they will find their expccta-
| tions disappointed, their schemes foiled.
Not one dollar of contribution, not one
dollar of aid towanl the Republican Ex-
position in Chicago, so long as the Repub-
lican party persists in its crazy attempt to
fasten this abhorront Force bill upon the
land.

There was Man and Mans Wife and
Another Man.
The Man held a government appoint
ment at Chittahoti. lie had q salary of
5000 rupees per mensem. of which he
allowed 1850 to his wife and spent
the balance for cheroots. His wife
often demonstrated with him for his GRIM
inal recklessness in the matter of cherOots,
but the Man would deny himself nothing.
The Mans Wife lived at Simla, where
the climate and surroundings are pleasan-
ter than at Chittahoti. The Other Man
lived there, too. He had liver, and had
taken II with him to Simla for the benefit
of the climate.
The Mans Wife and the Other Man
were too thick, even shocking the sensi-
bilities of Simla. 1t takes good deal to
do that, but the Mans Wife and the Other
Man had an amplitude of gall.
A Mutual Friend wrote to the Man at
Chittahoti, and with deep sadness and
from a painful sense of duty told him the
whole story, with all necessary embel-
lishments.
The Man wrote back to his Wife, gently
demonstrating with her. The letter was
a most pathetic one and nicely spelled,
and the MANS Wife, and the Other Man,
who perllsed it conjoinly, agreed that It
did equal honor to the Mans head and
heart.
George" said the Mans Wife, ''people
are talking about MS. Instead of riding
together on the parade we will conduct
our loyemaking in the cemetery hereafter.
That will disarm Mrs. Grindy.'"
After this they rode out every day to
the cemetery. One day they found there
four natives digging grave for the
princely remuneration of four pice per
native. The water stood two feet deep in
the grave.

Then they rode away. The Other Man

The Wrongs of the Indians.


The Indian wrongs would have been
avoided if public opinion could have been
earlier interested in the Indians sufficiently
to acquire detailed information. They
are largely due to the folly of mtrusting
our Indian relations In great part to agents
who are changed at the whim of politi-
clans who have no knowledge of the In
dian situation and no care for the Indians,
and who rely upOn the general public
Ignorance and indifference to permit
without inquiry the frequent misconduct
and outrage of our Indian management.
Both the present and the last Admlnistra-
tons We're apprised of the situation and
its necessities by intelligent and impartial
witnesses, but they allowed the whole
subject practically TO drift. There have
been, indeed, within n few years rapidly
increasing interest in the question and
larger knowledge Of it, and public opin-
ion has stimulated and approved remedial
legislation. But the mere partisan press
ure for spoils, of which every Administra-
ton is in mortal terror, has largely sue
ceoded in the usual way in the appoint.
ment of agents of all kinds and in the
allotment Of contracts. The cheating and
starving and general mismanagemen of
ineXporience have continued, and they
promised to end again where they must
always end-in blood and terrible suf-
iering.

The determination of the Republican
Senators to pass the Force bill at all
hazards is all the time giving birth to
some new cNpcdicnt to prevent its passage
urtonouirali2c its effects if It should pass.
The adoption of the statutes of DoriDlaiH
by the English Parliament in the olden
times was not more fruitful of devices.
Several OF the southern States have
already announced their intention %
withhold any appropriation for cX-
hibits at the Worlds Fair until the Force
bill is decided and it is likely that this
stand will be taken by all of them.
The Republicans are disposed, at least
in pubic, to treat this as a BLUFF. But
suppose New York should take the same
position 1t has been charged that the
Force bill was framed by Mr.. JoHSNY
DAvENroHr with special view to New
York, and 1t may be that the Democrats
of that State will resent It. The Governor
or either branch of the Legislature can
veto any appropriation for representing
the State at the Far. Without the South
orn States and without the Empire State
the Worlds Fair would cease to be q
national concern. Then, too should New
York refuse to take any part in the Fair
there can be no doubt that other Demo-
cratic States in the North will he with her.
Possibly New York has not yet recov-
cred from the wounds of her defeat by
Chicago, and might not object to healing
them in just this way. 1t is therefore not
unlikely that in passing the Force bill the
Senate may kill the Worlds Fair as well
as the Republican party.
Then it may be that the bill itself, when
it is passed, will be Dead Sea fruit to the
lips. There is already talk, as has been
shown in THE Carrie, of taking the APP
pointment of Presidential Electors into
the hands of the various Democratic
Legislatures. As these are now consti-
tuted the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent would stand about as good chance of
election as the Prohibitionist or Women $
Rights candidate. This is the seed time
of winds; the harvest of whirlwinds may
quickly follow.

TIE LONDON Times has been studying
the race question in the United States aud
has published a series of what il inno-
Gently describes as remarkable articles
ON the subject. The only trouble about
these articles is that their author does
not know anything worth knowing about
the matter under discussion He has con-
eoctcd certain hypothesis and argued
from IL with great ability, but his hy-
pothesis is cxtravagantly absurd. He as
sumcs that the negro population in the
Southern States is increasing more rapidly
than the white population, and insists
that at some future time, not very far
distant, the negroes will overwhelm
the whites. From all this he con-
cludes that there must be either
war of determination against enegroes
ar an exodus. The gifted person who
wrote these remarkable articles" must
have obtained his information and pur-
sued his studies in New York. lie may,
indeed, have done it all in London. Ger
tainly he has never conversed with an in
telligcnt and unprejudiccd Southern man.
The fact is that the negroes are not increas-
ing in number more rapidly than the
whites. They are not increasing any
thing like AS rapidly. The whites III the
Southern States outnumber the negroes
two to one. The excess is greater now
than it was ten years ago and will be still
greater ten years hence. Not only is their
no prospect Of an Afrioanization, but
every rational human being south of the
Potomac knows there is not. The dilemma
presented by the Times is, therefore, a RI
diculous mares nest. and the alternative
based upon sheer nonsense. Nobody
wants to exterminate the negroes or to
force them to emigrate. The Times doesn't
seem 10 know much more about the negro
problem in this country than it does about
the Irish problem at home-at least it is
not amy happier in suggesting a remedy.
