NEV-TORK AT CHICAGO.

If the Empire State is fttingly represented at
the Columbian Exposition next year, the greater
part Of the credit for the achievement will be
due TO the energetic work done by the com
mittce representing the drygoodS trade Of this
metropolis few men, well worthy OF htnOr-
able mention have been sagaciOus and far-Sl2ht-
ed enough to perceive that the interests Of this
city and State would suffer gIeyOusly if a mat
ter Of such vast importance were allowed TO 60
by default that neglect TO make generous APP
prcpration and erect a suitable building would
bring lasting reproach upon Ncw-IOrll City and
the Empire State, and at the same time provoke
a feeling of hostility in the West toward the
East that would inevitably produce an unfayor-
able effect upon our business interests in gon-
eral. Seeing these things clearly, they went to
work in earnest to arouse interest in the sub
ject, more especially in their own branch OF
trade and 10 remove the feeling of indifference
respecting the Fair which had prevailed from
the time that Chicago captured the prize To
indifference Newly orl must plead guilty; but no
man in his sober senseS can charge us with hos
tility or Jealousy.
Nearly a month ago a meeting OF drygoods
merchants was held, and bill approved provid-
ing for the appointment Of twelve commissioners
TO care for the interests Of this State at Chicago
and making an appropriation Of $500, 900 for a
suitable building and other expenses. This bill
is to be introduced in the Senate early this week
by Mr.. Cantor. In connection Herewith the
Dryg0ods Committee has addressed to the mem
belS Of the Legislature an earnest memorial
soliciting their speedy consideration of this i'm
portant subject. As further means of slim
ulating public sentiment regarding the Fair, the
committee is sending throughout the State, as
well as TO the Senators and AsSemblymen a
handsome little book setting forth the steps al
ready taken by the drygoods men and asking
f9r helrty cooperation in securing the objcc5
in view. This pamphlet contains an urgent adj
dress to the commercial and industrial interests
of the State, which shows in the most convincing
way that New-Yorll cannot afford to neglect
the great opportunity which the holding Of the
Worlds Fair will present 10 the people Of this
State and city. The address is supplemented by
a large number Of extracts from the newspapers
of the State, which unite in calling upon the
Legislature to act promptly and favonbly. Tho
memorial and the address are reprinted on an
other page Of TIE TRIBUNE this morning, and
we heartily commend them to our readers at
tentiOn.
II cannot be doubted that the good work dono
by the Drygoods Committee will have a power
ful effect upon our State legislators Governor

cOvyERCE on THE GREAT LAKES.

A few months ago n collision in the Sault Ste
Marie Canal, that connects Lake Superior and
the lower lakes, temporarily blocked that in
portant waterway. Alarming reports were a
once telegraphed TO this end of the country CON
corning the probable disastrous effect on East
crn trade An enormous grain tonnage was
represented as delayed at the Superior inlet, and
European shippers wcre seriously admonishcd 10
arrange without delay for the overland trans
shipment Of their cargocs The obstruction was
fortunately removed in time to prevent serious
dctrimont to any large body OF traders. But the
incident strikingly illustrated the intimate rcla-
ton between this narrow Western channel and
rhe fulflment of commercial obligations on the
Atlantic Coast.
This condition is emphasized by the official
report, lately issued, Of the years traffic through
the st. Mary's Falls Canal. Tho valuable
transportation bulletins Of the Census Bureau
have shown an amazing increase in the yearly
volume of all lake business Not everybody
realizes that the freight carried annually through
tho Detroit River has for some timc exceeded
the total exports and imports of the whole coun-
try. This, OF course embraces vast quantity
of merchandise transported from Chicago, Mil
waukee and other Lake Michigan ports around
the southern peninsula; but the fact that iii
1890 the net capacity of the vessels employed
on all the GIelt Lakes was $4,000 tons, against
G34 coo in 1856, and their yauc, SOS, S,12S, 800
against S30,597 ,450, constitutes startling eX-
hibit Of the growing popularity of this water
route. From Lake Superior according to the
official figures, 1871 vessels, steam and sail
were locked through during tho season Of 1891
from April 81 to December I. This number
was slightly smaller than the number for 1890
Less iron ore and less grain, other than wheat
passed through the canal in 1891 than in 1890
Of wheat, however, there was an excess Of
% 200 bushels. In other words, about I
per cent Of the entire estimated wheat crop Of
the whole country found ain outlet by means
of this narrow slit in the Michigan shore. In
ten years, since the Government assumed con-
troll the yearly volume Of traffic has increased
nearly seycn-fJld. Nor is the movement alto
gether toward the East. Nearly 100000, 900
tons OF merchandise were returned to Western
consumers by Eastern shippers during lS91, and
the ratio Ct increase closely corresponds.
With these facts in mind it becomes clear, not
only that tho present canal must be rcck0ncd
a highly important factor in the study of Eastern
commercial problems but that "decp-wacr'
agitation possesses a vital interest for the entire
population OF the Atlantic SeIbOard. The res
t0ration OF the American merchant marine must
necessarily proceed slowly, even in view Of the
vigorous impulse administered by the present
Republican Administration. On the Great Lakes
however, the Western spirit Of enterprise has

or that the city should be relieved from tho
obligation of paying to the State any proportion

be done. The Legislature can be asked to eX-

Poultry Yard Talks.

In starting out to run large poul.
try ranch, begin small. Books on
poultry keeping are useful, but they
cannot supply the place OF experience.
Some people could never succeed
with one hen, let alone a hundred. It
requires "gumption" to manage poui-
try SO as to make a profit out OF it.
But there is no doubt that aman who
can manage from one to ten thousand
fowls can make money out OF them.
Other things being equal, the man
who succeeds best with poultry is one
who has a faculty for attending to de-
tails in tbs nick Oftinre and in just the
right way. "a time for everything
