THE WORLDS FAIR AMESDMESTs.
The House then proceeded to the further con-
sideration of the worlds fair amendments to
the sundry civil bill. Mr.. Caruth (KSl) made
one Of his Characteristic humorous speeches in
favor of the APP ropriation. He had hoped, he
said to be able to go home TO his people with
out further illuminating the pages Of the
Record with his eloquence. Laughter. But
the vote he was about TO cast, taken in connec-
ton with the votes he had already cast. made it
necessary that he should say some words in eN-
PLANTATION. 1t was his purpose to vote for the
appropriation. GApplause,l He voted on a

Senate amendment, for the reason that at that
time there was difference existing between
the manager of the worlds fair and the repre-
sentatives of organized labor throughout
America. and he had not proposed BY his vote
to countenance the existence of such differ
ence.
In connection with the great enterprise some
of the greatest minds of Kentucky had been
employed. kentuckians had been given posi-
tons Of high trust and responsibility in con-
nection with the worlds fair, and they deserved
that distinction. But he would not vote
for this appropriation if he believed the fair
was Chicago concern. He believed that il
could be said of this exposition. The whole
boundless universe is ours" Should this fair,
which was to be the honor and glory of Amer
lea, be a failure on account of the want of an
appropriation by the general government?
1t would be a shame and disgrace to America
should this be the case. He then proceeded to
argue that Congress had authority under the
Constitution to make the appropriation and
ridiculed some of the strict constructionists.
