WORLDS FAIR SUNDAY.

An act of legislation such as that passed
yesterday closing the worlds fair upon sun
day is enough 10 shake the trust of the most
complacent citizen i'll the sense aud useful
ness of the American house of lords. So
utterly opposed is this measure to the desires
OF the tremendous majority of the American
people as 10 reflect seriously upon the very
sanity of the body which enacted it-Chicago
Globe,
II is not now question OF what should be
done about Sunday closing. because congress
has seen fit to settle that matter The local
management can only submit gracefully. To
say that the people of the nation will not
lend their support as freely to the worlds
fair if run according to regulations that
meet with their approval as it would be if run
otherwise is scarcely Observation-Disclosures

Let the directors denounce and renounce
this shameful measure, the product of

If Chicago is going to saddle its loan or
subscription, as the case may be, with this
ouerous Sunday condition it will bee ONE a
serious question for the directors to consider
whether they can accept it and thus deprive
hun dreds of thousands of people of the quiet
enjoyment and recreation which they other
wise would have had. 1t will become Sc
rious question whether they shall not get the
money somewhere else and give fair when
the working people. who have no other day,
and tine strangers within their gates can go to
see it in state of rest-Ch icag0 Tribune.
If there can be no fair with national aid
unless its opening shall be distinguished by
an act of injustice based upon demagogical
yielding to bigotry, then will it be far better
for Chicagoans and those who hold the good
name of the nation above the necessities of
mere political tricksters to assume the fur
Their charge of affairs and bid the fanatics go
their way. Chicagoans have accomplished
greater feats than that involved in carrying
the fair from its present condition to a snc-
cessful close. They should not falter now
when confronted with an attempt of bigOts
to degrade the national name.-Chicago
Times.
We are not surprised that many directors
and friends of the worlds fair should be
greatly disappointed at the action of the
United States senate in placing conditions of
serious import on the appropriation for the
fair. But they should one and all remem
Der that this is bad time 10 quarrel with
the national legislature. II is a greater body
and much more powerful even for the fair
than the directory itself. 1t made the fair
possible; it can easily ruin it SO far as out
side nations are concerned. The
wisest possible thing the Chicago friends of
the fair can do is to keep cool and say little.
The right will prevail if the case is properly
managed. Chicago Inter Ocean. 2
