To the Worlds Fair By Electricity.

A scheme to build bee line electric rail-
way from Chicago to ST. Louis for passen-
ger traffic to the worlds fair received con-
siderable notice in the news columns
of the newspapers some time ago.
Then the scheme betook itself to
the advertising columns, where it
was illustrated by an ideal picture
representing q snout-nosed motor carriage
alleged to be able to make the distance be-
tween st. Louis and Chicago at the rate of
not less than 100 miles an hour.
When the project was first talked Of and
doomed in advertisements, theoretical
scientific people and practical engineers were
inclined to make light of it. They thought
it was visionary soheme-maybe q wild
cat" scheme. But the promoters of the
enterprise kept hammering at it until now
electricians and business men are watching
it with considerable interest. They have
come to believe that there is something In
it, and that somebody is going to get some
lieve that the road will be built and
operated by electricity. as proposed.
1t is rumored among men in that line of
business that the General Electric Com
pany of New York-the big electric trust
is Interested IN the new departure in rail-
reading. The officers of the concern denv
that the company Is involved. but do not
deny that some of the leading men in the
company have gone into the scheme; which,
as likely as not, means the same as if the
company were in it. This being true, 10
will be seen that the most experienced
electrical experts, the most improved appa-
ratus and plenty of money are at the serv-
ice of the new lightning express line.
Railroad men are keeping an eye open to
see if the outcome OF experiments on the
electric road will or not suggest the advisa-
bility Of substituting electricity for steam
for fast trains. According to the Phila-
delphis Press, the New York and New
Haven people, for instance, who are about
completing the four-tracking OF their road,
have in mind the possibility of the use of
electricity as motive power, at least for ex-
press trains President Clark, in a recent
speech to the stockholders, admitted that
such possibility was in view, and he ia I'M
derstood to have said privately that If this
st. Louis and Chicago experiment. meets
expectations 1t will be likely to make immes
diately some great changes in railway serv-
ice.

Van 1n9en After British Gold.

One of the stories that attracted some at
tention during the recent campaign, and
which was widely circulated by the repub-
lican newspapers, was that British manu-
facturers had sent $780, 900 TO the national
democratic committee. This story was ca
bled from London to this country by Dali
ziel's news agency. 1t was stated in the
dispatch that E. Il. Van Ingen, a rich
cloth merchant of New York, was
mainly instrumental in collecting the
money, and that the British manu-
facturers had contributed 1t because
they believed tie election Of Mr.. Cleveland
would be followed almost Immediately by
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff. aud that
then the American market would be open
to them.
1t was also asserted that Col. Dan Lamont
brought the money to this country and de-
livered it to the national democratic COM
mittee. Col. Tom Ochiltree was quoted as
saying that he knew that Van Ingen was
directing the collection Of the fund.
Mr.. Van InRen is now in London and has
begun libel suit against Dalziel's agency.
The dispatch. he says, caused more than
thirty of his republican customers TO leave
him. They told him they would not patronize
a man who collected British gold TO break
down American industries.
AS matter OF fact the national demo~
cratic committee did not receive a cent
from the British manufacturers The
story was without any foundation.
Doubtless some one started 1t as joke, and
the news agency spread 1t, not caring
whether or not it was true
Mr.. Van Ingen was greatly injured by it,
and he insists upon being compensated for
his loss. Although he got no British gold
to help elect Mr.. Cleveland he may get
some for the damage which the British gold
story did his business. If Col. Tom Ochil-
tree started the story as joke his smart
ness may cost him dear, if he has any assets
which can be reached. Nobody will be
greatly grieved If Mr.. Van Ingen makes
the news agency pay dearly for its reckless
disregard Of his rights. Ill.,.

An Appropriation for the Fair.

An III S@O
Il is stated that majority of the legis-
Iative committee that visited Chicago TO in
spect the fair grounds favor an appropria-
ZION for an exhibit. The governor and all
the members Of the committee were sur
prised at the magnitude Of the fair build
ings and the magnifcence OF the fair
grounds They agree in thinking that an
exhibit would do Georgia an immense
amount Of good, and that failure to have
an exhibit would cause criticism that would
injure her.
The time is too short to get together an
exhibit that would do justice to her re-
sources, but with an appropriation Of $780,
900 or $4,000 a very creditable exhibit
could be collected.
There is not Georgian who has the well
fare of the state at heart who would not
approve of an appropriation. The view
seems 10 be entertained by some that there
is no way that such an appropriation can
be made so as not to violate the constitution,
but very good constitutional lawyers enter
tain different opinion. No doubt the sub
ject will be very fully discussed, because it
is quite certain that a bill to make an ap-
preparation for an exhibit will DE intro
duced at an early day.
The fair is going to be the grandest the
world has ever seen. 1t will attract all
nations, and the states that make a good
showing Of their resources and products are
going to be greatly benefited. Every
western state will make extraordinary eff
forts to attract attention. The south, and
especially the Empire State of the South,
cannot afford TO neglect so great an oppor-
tunity to invite the attention OF home
seekers and capitalists.
