Marquis Imperial, Italian Charge de
A.tdires at Washington has informed DR..
T. S. Vetdi, president of the Italo-
American Committee for the Promotion
of the Columbian Exhibition, that the
Italian Ministry has acknowled the re-
ceipt of the resolutions adopted at
meeting of Italo-Americans held in
Washington July 18th, requesting the
Italian Government to officially partici-
pate in said exhibition. In answer the
Italian minister says that, SIN pursu-
anceof principal adopted long ago the
Italia Government declines to officially
participate in any international exhibit
ton; that for that reason the Govern
ment declined the invitation to officially
participate in the French exhibition held
in Paris in 1889, and that the refusal to
be officially represented at the Column
bian Exhibition is in consequence of
said rule, never before departed from,
which should not be interpreted as an
act of hostility toward the great enter
prise or an effort to prevent the Italians
from exhibiting. On the contrary, the
Government wishing the success of the
Columbian Exhibition, has given the
widest publicity to- the invitation of it's
committee and will do all in its power to
assist such of its citizens as desire to ex-
hibit, giving them every possible ia
cility."

The great store on the corner of State
and Adams called the Fair, is being re-
built, and will be one of the largest stores
in the world Every day they are
crowded with people buying goods while
it is being rebuilt.
am thinking that some of the good
butter and sugar makers of Vermont
will think this good place to sell their
products, for almost any price is paid
here for good article, as such is not
easily found in this market. So when
Vermont butter makers come to this
great fair they may safely bring large
amounts of Vermont butter for most any
price can be realized ''Greasen is now
selling for II cents and over per pound
in our markets, and finds a ready sale.
1t is to be hoped no honest Vermonter
will get the idea that they can do the
like; that is, take one pound of good
butter and make it count ten on the
scales. 1 am of the opinion it would be
hard matter to make dishonest man
of a Vermont butter maker. From what
State do you find more honest statesmen
who have graced the National halls of
Legislation than Vermont? Look over
the list. 1 well remember the Hon.
Hiland Hall and John S. Robinson of
Bennington, and Senator Edmunds, who
has spent almost life time in the Ma
tional Capitol. The papers will not for
get that great orator Matt Carpenter,
and many others whom could mention
were it necessary. Vermont has always
been Republican since my remembrance
and it still prospers. do not think she
ever expects to change.
