A Wyoming she if. beng called upon to

Brother Ruby, of the 7o,oson Journal,
regrets that the ADVOCATE cannot speak a
good word in favor of an appropriation of
100000 by the state for the Worlds fair,
and says he does not observe that any other
county paper in the state opposes it. Our
neighbor does not read the leading county
journals The ADVOCATE has published
extracts from some holding the same views
we do, and publishes more today. The
state press generally has as yet said very
little on the subject. The majority has
not mentioned the Worlds fair at all. Not
more than two, so far as we know, favor
an appropriation of 100000 by the state.
All others want Maryland 20 be represented
at the Chicago fair but want the expense
borne by private contribution. Let us be
just first; pay our Indebtedness and lower
the tax rate. A state that has no public
debt and low taxation has many attractions
for capital and enterprise.

Agricultural Fairs.

For some years the State of Maryland
contributed yearly to the agricultural far
associations of the state The annual fairs
were great stimulus to agriculture and
stock breeding, and emulation and rivalry
resulted in higher cultivation Of the soil
and great Improvement of stock. The
benefits of these fairs extended to mer-
chants and manufacturers. also, and re-
suited to the general good. Gov. Hamil-
ton questioned the authority Of the legisla,
ture to make appropriations for them and
the legislature cut them off. If the legis-
lature had no authority to spend money
to aid fairs at home, how much less has Ii
to expend money at Chicago
