the proposal of the United States gov

BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS.

Southerners Give Reasons for Mixing
Worlds Fair and Election Matters.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The unex-
pected ENHANCEMENT of the fate of the
Chicago worlds fair with the fate of the
force bill has made good deal of i'm
preston on some of those who are trying
to pass the bill. Southern members say
that so far the feeling in the South which
has led to the refusal of state Legislatures
to make appropriations for exhibits at
Chicago is
sIn my state, said Representative Nc
MILAN, of Tennessee, "We have just got
our finances into such shape that we can
meet the interest on our bonds and pay
current expenses as they fall due. Now
if the legislature should make
an appropriation of 100000 or
100000 for an exhibit at Chicago
it would be a considerable
strain on the state treasury and natur-
ally the people would only consent to it
on condition that the state would derive
benefit from expenditures. Our people
feel that if the force bill passes, a state
vain any attempt that they might make
to attract capital or immigration from
the North or from Europe So instead
of throwing their money away will keep
1t in the treasury.
Bynum Approves.
Representative Bynum, of Indiana,
referring to the action of the Southern
people, said that he was heartily in SYM
pathy with the South in the matter and
would, if a member of a Southern dele
cation, vote against an appropriation for
the fair He said further that
he reflected the sentiments of
Northern Democrats and that he
upheld everything that had thus
far been done. The statement is made
that Northern Democratic legislatures
will soon fall in line on the ground that
if all the states do not participate,it will
not be possible for the fair to be ma
tional success, and therefore it would be
extravaganza and unnecessary to appro-
pirate money for exhibits. Twenty-Five
Southern men voted for Chicago as the
place for holding the fair. These are
among the congressman who, in case the
force bill passes, will now oppose any
appropriation for the fair, not only in
their state legislatures, but in the next
congress.
