Chicago has not yet demanded
an explanation of the House Chap
lain for his action in publicly pray
ing for divine protection for those
who went on the Congressional ex-
cursion to that city.
Congress, when in session, is as
ready to laugh at silly joke as a
lot of school children. This was
shown the other day, when two
members in the midst of a rather
heated debate exhibited their
watches, one gold, and the other
silver, and were asked by another
member: "when did you get them
out"
Some Presidential candidates be-
lieve in assuming in public a mod

Senator Hill isn't one of that kind.

John Crapeau would say but who

Yes it is just as well that those
old Mexican battle-fags should be
sent back to that country. There
are few things connected with the
Mexican war, except the bravery
OF our soldiers, that a patriotic
American should desire to be re-
minded of.

There is one serious objection to

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

DENMARK will spend about $500 in show.
ing, as leading feature of its Worlds Fair
exhibit, Danish dairy, complete and in
operation.
AN Ohio Worlds Fair commissioner has
estimated that the exhibitors from his State
will spend upward Of s., co., 900 in the prep
aration of their exhibits for the Exposition.
REMENYI. the well-known violin virtuoso,
has made application for space of not less
than 400 square feet in which to exhibit his
great collection of rare African chronological
specimens.
THE California building at the Fair will
be an imposing structure of the s'old mis-
sion" type, 11O by 500 feet, with dome, and
costing about SIS, 600. 1t will be surrounded
by hedge Of Monterey cypress.
VERMONT will have building at the Ex-
position without drawing on the State ap-
preparation for the cost of its erection. One
hundred substantial citizens have guaranteed
$40. 600 for that purpose, each one pledging
himself to pay 500.
MIcHIGANs building will measure 100x140
feet and be three stories high. 1t will be
constructed of Michigan material, which
with the furnishings will be donated.
Though but $40. 900 Of the appropriation will
be $50, 600 building.
ITALY will make no Governmental display
at the Exposition. The king. however, has
recognized the Fair, by appointing COM
mission and Minister of State Rudini has
informed Vice. President Brvan and Director
Higinbotham, that the Government will en-
courage individual exhibitors in every way
possible.
The Governments of Norway and Sweden
have. respectively, asked for Worlds Far
appropriations OF s6l, 2SS and 500, ,oo0. In
Norway a number OF private citizens are
raising fund of SO, no with which to
build and send to Chicago counterpart OF
the Viking ship which was exhumed near
Sande6ord few years ago.
CONNECTICUT held an enthusiastic Worlds
Fair meeting at Hartford on Washington's
Birthday, ex-governor Waller presiding.
A committee of sixteen, two from each
county, were appointed to look after the
States representation at the Exposition.
Sixteen lady managers were also chosen.
Subscriptions being called for, SOC, 900 was
pledged on the spot. 1t is expected that the
Legislature, when its deadlock is broken,
will reimburse the subscribers.

Presidential Candidates.

Opinions in Washington leave the
democratic situation in respect to Presi-
dental nominations practically un-
changed. Many think that Hill can
unite democratic voters in New York and
that they are solid for him. Even the
g kickers declare that they will vote for
the nominee not excepting Hill. The
majority fear the New York situation,
German, Palmer and Boies are favorltes
with many such. The more prevalent
opinion continues to give Harrison the
republican nomination. though others are
named. Robert Lincoln, Jerry Rusk,
and Senator Cul1om have each many
friends. Senator Allison says ''he is
not in it." Blair must have the prohibi-
tionists in view. There are several gen
tlemen on both sides who will take the
nomination if it is thrust upon them
National Defense.
The house naval committee are look
ing into the merits of the Berdan IRON
clad ship-destroyer, a vessel to be two
hundred and fifty by forty feet with six
teen feet draft and an estimated speed of
twenty knots. She is to be provided with
a hydraulic buffer that will stop her
without injury eight feet from an enemy
and automatically discharge huge snb-
marine gun sending shell carrying a
fourth of ton of powder into the bowels
of the fated ship. A most dangerous
pill to the enemy If well administered.
War Vessels.
of modern type are very expensive, and
useless in peace. Why can we not have
swift sailing ships useful for carrying
passengers, mail, perlshable commercial
articles and other objects of trade that
can be speedily converted into ship de-
stroyers and war vessels We want no
fleet of immense iron clads and huge
guns that will be out of date in decade
or so. We have skill, money and pa
triotism enough to provide swift sailers
to carry our foreign mails and minister
to a reviving commerce. such craft being
specially adapted to be armored, or con-
verted into rams, or topedo hur1ers, or
submarine gun carriers and the like
upon short notice. We neither need a
large standing army nor large fleet of
huge iron-clads but we do need the
means for quickly providing ships for
defense.
Speed.
And when the occasion arises, offense
may be the best defense, and of the
clements of offense speed is more inn
portant than weight. The big ships and
guns will disappoint expectation. The
little wren will drive flock of robins
from the orchard and swift vessels will
overmatch slow sailers though more
powerful The little Monitor could get
all about the statelier Virginia nee Mer-
rimac and her speedy movements were
an important factor in the famous Hamp-
ton Roads fight. A speedy merchant,
passenger and mail marine that will be
at least approximately self sustaining and
that is adapted to quickly put on fight
ing clothes furnishes problems for in
ventors, capitalists and patriots.

Teachers, Certificates.

Editor Morning Call During this week
in this city an examination has been in
progress for those DESTROYS of obtaining
teachers certificates. CONSERVATION was
spread among the applicants by the paper
in history. Even those on the outside
ordinarily interested in school matters
wax indignant over the injustice worked
upon those who, in good faith that it would
be iair examination. paid their 81 appli-
canrs fee, and have tried their very best to
get through, for to some Of these girls a
teachers certificate is the promise of
bread and butter. Teaching is their
own prospective means of support,
and that the Board of Examiners take the
fact that so few are able to pass al tribute
to their skill in propOunding catch ques-
tons should disqualify them for holding
their positions.
What if they do not wish many girls to
get through, thinking thereby 10 reduce the
numbers of those holding teachers certifi-

ton in the department - have they any
right to reach that end by propounding such

would have to teach should they ever sue

terms
There are three points Of view from which
the pattern may be considered. and from
two OF them II is Objectionable. There is
first the strictly fashionable view point,
though this by persons who are thoroughly
sane is not held TO afford any important
outlook. From the fashionable standpoint
the pattern cap not be admitted. because
il is only when thing has ceased to be a
novelty that ii gets round to the pattern
makers.
There Is next the artistic standpoint, and
from his vantage ground also the pattern is
fouted. because it deals only with the
needs and the tastes Of the average woman,
and the average woman, as we all know
when we stop to think about her or 10 look
for her, doesn't exist. We are each and
every one Of Us individuals. The pattern is
Philistinic and conventional.
There is, last Of all, the common-sense
standpoint, and comm0n-sense being Phil
lstine, and being usually conventional,
stretches out both hands in cordial welcome
TO the pattern because ii is convenient, and
the convenience of convenience in this
world is not to be denied.
The pattern has. therefore, the best of
the controversy, because few people care
much about art and everybody cares about
convenience, and its success in argument Is
net greatly to be regretted, because it is not
impossible to reconcile art and convenience.
There is, that is 10 say, right way TO nso a
pattern.
