a s2e,226, 400 Snow.

The latest estimate of the cost of the
Worlds Fair is So, 226 400. This estimate
was given by President Baker to the Con-
gressional Investigating Committee, and is
doubtless as low as that official coud make
1t. But how is this sum TO be obtained
The known resources Of the fair are $685.
10 of stock subscriptions. S5.O00,O0O of
Chicago bonds, and gate receipts. The lat
ter are estimated at $4,000. COO which may
not be too large. but are sOmew har too en-
tirely prospective. But, assuming that the
receipts will be as estimated and that the
stock subscr iptiOns will all be paid in and
the Chicago bonds sold for their face, there
is still deficit Of about g., 900, coo. Some of
the fair managers are extremely anxious to
make the deficit a round 5000 600 and to
provide for it by an appropriation from Con-
gress.
In cautious sort OF way President Har-
rison recommended the fair 10 the kind
consideration of Congress. lie recognized
the fact that Chicago had fulfilled her 1inan-
cial promises and that the deficit was due
TO the larger proportions the fair has as
sumed The fair had, in fact. become
great national enterprise, such as Congress
might contribute 10 if the report of the IN
yestigating Committee should be favorable.
There are two obstacles in the way of an
APPROPRIATION: First, a Democratic Con-
gress which is bent on making a record for
economy, and, second, the chickering's of the
National Commission aud the local direc-
tory. Both want the handling of the
money. aud each wonld apparently prefer
to see the appropriation bin fail than to let
the other have the disbursement of Ii. But
the fair managers will be in bad fix unless
Congress comes to their relief.

SPECIFIC CONTRACTS.

The CALL has often asked free-coinage
contemporaries to explain what would be
the condition Of such Of the debtor class as
have signed notes promising to pay in
Unied States gold coin, should gold go to a
premium in consequence of the passage of a
free-coinage bill. The impenetrable silence
with which this question has been followed
has at last been broken by local contem-
porary, which declares that in all probable
ity contracts of this nature would be de-
clared void By Congress. For our contem-
porary's sake we regret that the silence had
not been persisted in. Breaking contracts
by law Is very poor way of getting clear
Of the consequences Of a political blunder
The Federal constitution expressly declares
that no State shall pass law impairing the
obligation of contracts, but the provision
of the constitution by which the States con-
fer upon Congress the right expressly de-
MED to themselves has not been pointed
out. The California specific contract law
has been before the Supreme Court and sus-
tanned. While it is possible that In all con-
tracts TO pay money, in which the kind of
money to be paid is not specified, courts
may hold that any legal-tender money salts
feS the debt. there is not the remotest
chance that either court or Congress will
declare an agree ment TO pay in either kind
void. The condition of the debtor class,
therefore, in respect to specific obligations
Is That the obligations they have assumed
must lac fulfllad

NO PLACE FOR LOWELL.

Dean Bradley has conferred a favor ON
the people of the United States in refusing
tie bust Of James Russell Lowell place in
Westminster Abbey. The Honor" OF
niche in the abbey is not one to be sought.
1t was conferred upon Longfellow In the be-
lief that Lopgfeilow contributed somewhat
to the glories of the abbey, but unless this
belief is general an American has no right
there. The tomb is purely English, except
as the English desire 10 gather and preserve
memorials of the illustrious dead of other
countries. 1t would not perhaps be lust to
say that the late Mr.. Lowell's writings were
inspired by hope that he would be placed
10 English estimation on a level with Long
fellow, but it was often remarked that in
Lowell's last wars his work took on an
English tone. His four years residence in
England AS American Minister let him into
the inner circles Of London society and sub
jected him to the fattery that medocrity
often pays to genius. Lowell became noted
for his after-dinner speeches. They were In
excellent taste, without being dull through
a desire not to offend. His graceful wit and
profound learning gained for him admira-
ton and respect. When he was relieved of
his official duties. which by the way were
principally social. he returned TO his native
country in body. but his heart seemed to
cling TO the country of his late residence

The excitement attending the gathering
Of boomers for rush into the new lands
offered TO settlement in the Oklahoma re-
gion is now intense and will be at fever heat
when the troops cease to bar the way. 1t is
inevitable that there should be many disap-
pontments, but the migratory boomer Is
used to the fluctuations of fortune, good
and bad, and is chiefly happiest when in
condition Of unrest accompanied with
high-strung hope. A considerable propor-
ton OF those who are now seeking new
field Tor their capacities have probably for
saken better prospects than those which are
open TO them, but they are buoyed up by the
hope that they will have good luck whatever
may be the fate in store for others. 1t is
this optimism which gives a Zest to sdven-
ture. Some measures appear to have been
taken to prevent preferential grabbing of
choice town lots and lands. The Govern

TWO SIDES TO A QUESTION.

A local article appeared in Sundays
CALL describing the difficulties attending
search for a clearinghouse into which
children would be admitted OF course, it
seems unfeeling to refuse TO beard a couple
because they have children, but boarding
house keepers have 10 consider the likings
of their patrons. If the majority Of people
avoid house in which there are children,
landlady could hardly be expected to court
ruin by admitting children. At the same
time it is against public interests that chill
dren should be objected to. 1t would seem
as If this prejudice against children might
be made to work It's own remedy. Ii there
must be boarding houses to which children
are not admitted, may we not also have
boarding houses ia which children are wei
coined? There are. perhaps, more people
who would prefer home frightened by the
happy faces of children than boarding
house keepers imagine. Probably the in
stinctiye feeling of most parents that their
children give less trouble than other
peoples children has something to do with
the difficulty Of finding homes for children.

hardly expect to 60 into house in which 80
or 40 boarders were accommodated and lay

however grand, it certainly should not be
made impossible for parents to find accom-
