THE Chicago Citizen has the follow
ing to say on the importance OF having
an Irish exhibit at the Worlds Fair:
.'As Ireland has no parliament OF her
own to vote her an appropriation for
proper representation at the approach
ing Worlds Fair, she is left to the ten
der mercies Of an imperial appropria-
ton, which will be termed British, the
same to be distributed by the British
commissioners. appointed bv the gov
eminent of Lord Salisbury. Messrs.
Redmond and O'Connor, M. P's.. like
good and faithful representatives of
Ireland, called on the World Fair Off
GERS in this city the other day, and
were informed as above. The World s
Fair directors, General DAVIS and all
his officers are friendly to the idea Of an
Irish exhibit. There are at least 49,
600 900 people of Irish birth or imme-
date descent in America, and it would
pay, both financially and sentimentally
to have them fully represented at the
coming Exposition Yes, the Irish
Americans in this country should do
all in their power towards getting a
handsome Irish exhibit at Chicago.
ireland can boast of the finest linens
and poplins in the world, and we should

POLICE SENSATIONS.

Recent upheavals III the police depart
ment have given the public considerable
fruit for gossip. The case of patrolman
erich against the Tribune company in
which he asks for $4,000, because the
Tribune published I'm interview with an
ex-police officer, that he (Crich) burned
his home some time ago to get the in
surance, is causing no little comment in
the city. We do not propose to dwell
on this question either one way or the
other, only so far as it pertains to the
we'll being ana good order Of the police
department.. We do not pretend to say
or intimate that erich burned his house,
or hired any one else to do it, preferring
to leave that question where it belongs
with the jury. Whether he burned his
house or not we must say that the testi-
monY as given by some Of the Witnesses
for the defense does not speak we'll for
some of the members of the police force,
and If Patrolman erich fails to make 8
case out against the Tribune, we may
look for many and we'll merited decapita-
tons among the police. From time to
time, reports having little or no founda-
ton, reach the public through the pa
peers, but such reports are not often pub
lished unless there is more than mere
3semblance Of truth in them. Newspa-
spers Of the Tribune's standing are not
anxious to publish what they cannot for
the most part prove, and the public are
sailxiouslY awaiting the iurY's verdict in
this case. It is, very important that

4 ANOTHER SCANDAL,

ANOTHER SCANDAL.
What sorrowful spectacle the Prince
of Wales made of himself in the baccarat
scandal. After he left the witness box
he went 10 the Marlborough Club where
the young bloods received him with
open arms, and began to treat the whole
gambling scandal as a huge joke. The
prince himself laughed at the case as If
1t did not amount to great deal, and
accompanied by several members of the
club went to horse race near by. Here
he began to put up some large sums Of
money on his favorite horses, and re-
gardless of the unsayory disclosures
made in court he openly met his future
subjects as if nothing had happened.
But they did not all meet him as on for
mer occasions-with hat in hand-but
with sneers and groans. This of course
had visible effect on the prince, and
he began to comprehend the enormity of
his ofense. The following days he read
in the great papers of the metropolis
that he had committed grave error he
saw when parliament would convene, he
would through some friend be forced to
make some explanation Of his conduct.
The Tory papers OF course treated the
matter as lightly as possible, but the
Liberal press spared no language in
calling the attention Of their readers to
the disgraceful position he was in.
When the house of commons opened for
business Monday night, the Liberals
asked for an explanation of the ardent
partiality shown the prince under army
discipline, while Sir William Gordon
Cummings was removed from his mill
tary position. The princes spokesman,
Glen. Stanhope, apologized for INN, by
saying that at the request of the prince
he admitted that the future King OF
England had committed an 'serror of
Judgment" and having done so, was
sorry for it. The government explained
to the house as best it could that the
princess explanation was satisfactory,
and that nothing further in the matter
would be done. All looked we'll for the
prince then, but 1T remained for some
thing still worse to come up. Just as he
thought the storm had blown over, the
sky suddenly became clouded again
when he learned that he was to be made
the correspondent in divorce suit to be
brought by Mr.. Brooks against his wife,
Lady Brooks. It will be remembered
that it was Lady Brooks to whom the
prince told the facts of the Tranbycroft
scandal, and who afterwards told all to
her lady friends, thus giving the secret
to the world. Now Mr.. Brooks proposes
to make it more interesting for the
prince than did Sir William Gordon
Cumming. All of these unsavorY pub
locations are having wonderful effect in
turning English sentiment against roy
atty, and as some newspapers of that
country expressed it ''endangering the
monarchy" We trust that the partial
publication of what occurred at Tranby-
croft will be the means Of opening the
eyes of all Englishmen; that they will
see what grave error they are making
IN maintaining royalty at such an enor-
nous expense to the country, and that
when the queen will have passed to her
reward, republic will be boon, and the
country set free. The prince has played
his last card, and the people should play
theirs when the prince comes to take his
mothers place on the throne.
