Tho Great Lie in the Durborow Bill.

The DURBoRow or Bunco bill, which has
been introduced in Congress for tho bencht
OF Chicago. appropriates $6,j50.O0O from inc
United States Treasury as follows
Five million dollars outright for expcndi-
turo on the work OF preparing tho fair
grounds and buildings; work for when
Chicago squarely promised to furnish every
dollar needed when she sought tho prlVi-
lego of holding the Fair. This live million
dollars is nothing moro o. less than Gov
eminent subscription to the stock or inc
Illinois corporation known as the worlds
Columbian Exposition. 1t is not the Gov
eminent loan that was at first proposed.

frail and bad rs Tie precedent is, in the
Government = advance loan OF $i,jN.Do0 20

ton ut pailndcina. That loan WAS sub
saUuently repaid to ths Government by
Ihlu,lciphia Tho $1,000, Geo which Chicago
nsks could not 10 thua icpata. II any
thing were left after the Fair was over. the
Governments would stand on the same
ground as the private Subscribers to the
Stock Of ~" Illinois cornorH!ion, .!n city

wants frora tho National Treasury to re-
lievc itself OF that amount Of expenditure.
the DuRnoRow bill arpropriates sl.55c.ooo
on Government account. in addition to the
liberal appropriation Of tho original bill Of
1890, when Mr.. SPRINGER assured Congress
that $500. 900 or S6oo.O0O would be ample. and
that Chicago would not ask Congress for n
dollar beyond that.

tlon as impudent as that which is sl;etched
In the two preceding paragraphs. it would
be strange il the Chicago bunco exports
