The Fair Bunco schema

The recent revelations regarding
the financial status of the Chicago
Fair make it incumbent on the Legis-
lature to act very cautiously in voting
away the States money to bolster up
the rotten concern. If Chicago really
she furnished a fair amount of money
for the enterprise, if she showed any
intention of keeping her promises 10
Congress, it might be incumbent on
New Jersey and all the States to help
the show along, notwithstanding the
outrageous way in which it was sent
to the big Western centre of ineivili-
cation.
But since it is growing apparent
that Chicago merely conducted a big
bunco game in the hope of getting
millions of Federal money through
the votes OF ingalls, s. Co., other sec
tions of the Country had better be
wary lest they be made the victims of
the dishonest job. Above all, there
is no obligation on New jersey
which almost as much as New York
was the victim of the Republican con-
spiracy to send the Fair to Chicago
to come to the rescue. Let the
blatant West show it is in earnest,
and then this State will carry its fair
share of the burden
The present prospect is that unless
the East raises the money, Chicago
will have to give up the effort to
organize the Fair. The money ques-
ton Is growing desperate. 1t is adj
mitted that s15, 900, 900 is imperatively
required between now and May /,
1898. Even il every dollar OF the
popular subscription should be col
ected. not more than $40, 600. 900 is in

sight. or course il is certain there
will be a loss OF from % to 80 per cent
on the popular subscription, so that
in fact there is in prospect a certain
deficit of from six to eight millions, or
roughly about one-half OF all the
money required. Besides, no part oil
the money to be raised by the sale OF
bonds by the city of Chicago can be
touched until 80, 900, 900 of the popular
subscription is collected, and that
time is hopelessly far of.
What Is the conclusion to be drawn
Why, probably the fair will never
be held. II it is, somebody else besides
Chicago must pay for it.
