The legislature last winter appropri-
ated $4,000 for this purpose, but that
sum is entirely too small. Those who
opposed larger appropriation seemed
to regard the matter as something
likely to come up every couple Of
years. The Worlds Fair is the four
hundredth anniversary of the discov-
cry of America and it is not probable
that another will be held for another
hundred years. The opportunity for
advertising the advantages of the diff
ferent parts of the United States will
not be eQualed soon again. 1t looks
small for Minnesota to 60 into this
grand show expecting to make display
with $500 that will be an honor to
the state; which Will show up her I'M
equalled resources in the way they
should be shown. Stote pride ought
to demand that we be at the top or at
least in a good position. Each state
will no doubt put forth her greatest
efforts to display her advantages in
the best possible style. Don't let the
North Star State stand at the foot in
this great exhibition. We say to the
people of Minnesota, don't do it. Get
move on yourself and raise the adj
ditional money necessary to make a
display that will be credit to the
State.

Minnesota ought not to be, must
not be, laggard in the race with her
contemporaries. Capitalists will be
at Chicago whose future Investments
Will be determined by what they see
at the Columbian Exposition. Many
decades may pass before our state will
have a like opportunity to advertise
her splendid resources, the productive
power of her climate and soil, the
richness, variety and extent Of her
mines and forests, and the inventive
genius and manufacturing skill of her
citizens. The whole world will be
there to see what we have to offer, as
it never will be for generations to
come. We are glad that there is state
pride sufficient to bring sense of
shame to our minds for the pitiful
sum appropriated for an adequate
display of our products before the
worlds gaze. The convention is
called for August 18th at ST. ul,and
we hope Mobiles county will be suita-
bly, represented.
An additional suggestion has been
made by the MANKATO FREE PRESS,
whose editor will be the Superintend-
ent of the Minnesota department of
the Exposition, which we hope to see
carried out, namely, the calling of the
Legislature together to act on the
proposition to appropriate at least a
100000, for the State Exhibit at the
Columbian Exposition. The tax on
the assessed valuation of property
necessary to raise this amount would
only be 2-10 of a mill on the dollar
tits proposed to ask.the,members of the
Legislature to forego their mileage
and per diem, thus obviating objec-
tion on the score of expense. We can
not doubt that at least a quorum of
the two houses will consent to appear
under that arrangement. BY all
means let the call issue for the special
session. If any member is not dis
posed to to attend on this condition
let him stay at home. The quorum
can do the work in a day or two.

st. Peter Tribune.

We doubt not that it is the desire
and feeling of every citizen of Mime
sofa, who has the good and prosperity
of the state at heart, that she make a
creditable showing at the Columbian
Exposition. The appropriation of
$50, 900 by the last Legislature is wholly
inadequate to do so, and the general
feeling seems to be that our state had
better have no exhibit at all, than at
sempt to make creditable showing
of the great resources OF Minnesota
with the small amount of money APP
propriated for the purpose. The pride
and spirit of MinnesOtians, realizing
the situation, delegate meeting for
every section of the state is called for
August 18th, at St. Paul, to counsel
upon the situation as to the best
means to add one hundred thousand
dollars to the fifty thousand already
appropriated, that Minnesota need
not be ashamed of her showing at the
great Worlds Exposition. A new
idea tC raise the funds is now sug-
gested, after the idea adopted by So.
Dakota, namely: That the Le9isla-,
ture be called together, prOvididg the
members thereof would voluntarily
act without per diem or mileage" to
take action in regard to further ap-
preparation. 1t seems to be the short
est way out of the dilema, and we
think the suggestion a feasible one.

St. Cloud Journal Press

The suggestion has been made that
the surest way of securing the 500. 900
additional required to make Mime
sotas exhibit at the Worlds fair cred
liable to the state is an extra session
of the legislature, to be held after the
plan proposed in South Dakota, viz
the members to meet and serve with
out mileage or per diem. This plan
has much to commend it. All the
members have passes so that they
would not be at any expense for mile
age; and as the only business to be
dcne-that of making the appropria-
tion-could be done in two days. the
Incidental outlay would be trifling to
each one. AS the members would be
defraying their personal expenses
there would be no temptation TO pro-
long the session and idulge in general
Every one who has given
the matter intelligent consideration
now realizes that the $4,000 apppro-
priated is wholly inadequate. Min
nesota will cut shabby figure indeed
if additional money is not secured in
some way, and legislative appropria-
tion would be the most equitable.

CrOOkstOn Times.

The Worlds Fair Commission of
this state has called convention at
St. Paul on Thursday, August 18th, to
which every Chamber of Commerce
and city and village council in the
state is invited to send two delegates.
The object of the meeting is to suggest
plan for raising a sufficient sum of
money in addition to the $4,000 ap-
propriated to make respectable eX-
hibit of the resources of this state.
Fifty thousand dollars is hardly
enough to lay the foundation for a
proper exhibit of the vast and varied
resources of this great state. 1t were
better that we had no exhibit at all
than that we had one such as could be
provided for that amount. A hun
dred thousand dollars in addition to
this is none too much, and some
means should be provided for raising
this amount. Crookston should be
represented at the convention, and
the Times hopes to see delegation
appointed at the next meeting of the
city council.

We publish call on our first page
of the Worlds Fair Commissioners
for a convention to devise means to
make an exhibit that will be not only
a credit to the state, but such as will
prove of real value to all it's interests.
1t is not likely that the necessary
funds can be raised in this way, and
the truth is, it is not the right way to
raise the money. The entire state
will receive the benefit of proper eX-
hibit at the Fair, and the state,
through the Legislature, should APP
propriate the necessary funds for the
purpose. In limiting the amount to
$4,000 the Legislature made a mis-
take, and it should now be convened
to remedy it. 1t ought to be four
times that sum. AS we have said.
Minnesota should be well represented
at the Worlds Fair or not at all.

The Wold's Fair Commission of
Minnesota, through it's secretary, has
made call for a meeting to be held
in the hall of representative in Saint
Paul, on the 18th of this month. The
meeting is for the purpose of devising
means of adding at least $4,000 to the
same amount appropriated by the
Legislature last winter. When it is
taken into consideration that the
building in which Minnesota's exhibit
must be made is to come out of this
amount appropriated by the state,
there can be but little left with which
to pay for the other necessary expenses.
Each town is requested to send a dele
gate to this meeting. Rush City with
its milling and butter industries is in
terested; why not send delegate?
Our friend of the Post is in error
when he assumes that any of the ap-
preparation made by the Legislature
can be used for building. The bill
especially provides that it cannot be
used for such purpose, and without
more money Minnesota will not have
a building

The immigrants of 1860 were of the

alSo the most arrogant and rapacious

every man to the exercise of his own

on their knees, then on the aborignes
and afterward on the Chinese. They
also fell on the African, and their deal
ing with that race forms one of the
5loodiest in'the history Of the world.
