ALL ARE INTERESTED.
The Columbian Exposition a Popu-
lar Project
Ever, bady Feels Kindly Toward the
Undertakes and all are De.
circus OF Contributing.

The sc'ion of the Twin City Columbian
committee in determining to push the
Moline & Rock Island Mechanical Expo
sition project is meeting with popular
favor, and it is surprising even to
these who have been confident Of the
success of the project from the first. how
general is the interest shown and enthu-
siasm manifested over the undertaking.
and while it has been fully realized from
the first that it is no little task TO raise
the amount OF the capital stock-slOO,
0O0-f The feeling shown toward the
plan, il is Tot believed there will be q
great deal of difficulty in raising the
smount. Our people have been for
months considering this project. snd
there is perhaps hardly man in either of
the cities interested who has not made Up
his mind 10 do something to further the
enterprise. And to insure the
entire success of the exposition
it will bui require tina, each
one give in proportion to his means. that
Is that he subscribe TO the stock in the
exposition in proportion to his holdings.
II all our people do that the 500, coo
will be raised in short time. The street
car syndicate has headed the list with SIS
600. others have contributed $1,000
while many have subscribed 500, and
this slTesdy before any general canvass
has been made. There are st least 5, 600
working meR in the two cities-perhsps
more-and Jbsbly all will be willing to
take st least one stsre, and many more
than that.
There may have been some missspre-
heusion Of the scope of the undertaking
in terming it the Mechanical Exposition.
AS the plans OF the committee approved
by the joint association meeting set forth,
it is not be simply sn exposition, but
grounds for sll psrposes such as will at
trIct, entertain end amuse the peoples
place where sill may feel an interest sud
where sll public gatherings no matter
what the nature, may be provided for.
The joint committee meets sgsin tomor-
row night 81 the rooms OF the Rock Island
improvement association.

THE COAL COMBINE.

Gos, PArrIsoN has made the first
movement toward strangling the an
thracite coal combine in its cradle.
The movement is iustigated by
Mr. A. ]. CAssArr, auditor Of the

Knights of Labor. These gentlemen
make the point that the constitution OF
the State Of Pennsylvania expressly
forbids such consolidation Of Compel

contrary TO public policy.

COMING TO THEIR SENSES.

The latest canvass Of the House OF
Representatives shows on full vote
majority against free coinage. This
majority is made up Of ninety-two
Democrats and seventy-seven Repub!i-
cans; and, supposlug the canvass to be
accurate, this should settle the matter.
The request for caucus of the Demo-
cratic members named to-day as the
date for the meeting at which the policy
Of the party shall be discussed. In
view Of the fact that a probable major
ity against free coinage Is shown in the
House, It may be thought undesirable
for the anti-silyer members TO enter any
conference whose determination should
bind them unwillingly to action looking
10 free coinage.
Whatever is done, however. it is GER
tain that the craze for free silver un-
doubtedly IS a5ating. Its opponents
should stand firm.

See a Kansas man in his first dress

upon his tout ensemble. Observe his
hands-his restless, homeless hands!
So undetachable- so obstinately there!
He knows them but he cannot place
them. His trousers have no pocket at
the side, one leg feels longer than the
other, and his feet are In his way. This
is his first appearance in swallow-tail.
His mortal frame he ne'er before hath
decked in a toggery like this. Upon
his face he wears a smile-a wan APP
pealing smie-a smile that budded and
then froze to death, and stuck fast
where 1t died. Look at that smile, and
then 90 weep.
