visit lie Worlds Fair is troubling
the Chicago papers. TO outside
people il ia a matter OF very small
consequence, hut Chicago is
nothing if not hoggish aud wants
all the royal sprigs of the uni
verse.
GovERSoR UoGG, Of Texas,
judging by the names he has given
his children, is a humorist. His
eldest daughter he calls Ina, a
good enough name by itself,
but when the young lady says, on
being asked to identify herself,
Ina llogg, the effect is startling.
The second daughter is IRA llogg,
while the boy is Moore Hogg. The
Governor evidently lives up to
the old saying, "rhc whole hog or
none."-Exchange.

witnessed the burning aud the

bench warrants have been issued
for members Of the mob. Three

Elk PRESIDENT Harrison, who
signed the Sherman Act, which
the whole country is now clamOr.
ing TO repeal, says that act is not
alone TO blame for the hard tines,
but that the fear the people
have as TO the Democrats tamper.
ing the tariff, has more to do
with il. Last November the peo.
pie by an immense electoral and
popular majority instructed the
Democrats to Hamper" with this
tariff, aud also to repeal the
Sherman law aud they are going
TO obey the people.
The increased attendance at
the Worlds Fair demonstrates
the wisdom of reducing the rail.
road rates from various points to
the White City. During the pres:
ent striiAgencN in De Anone
market people are loath to leave
home unless the iuducement of
low rates is offefed them. 1t is
surely more profitable for the
railroads to carry hundreds of
leOple at reduced rates than TO
send ont trains empty while high.
priced tickets hang in the rack
unpurchased. \ greater reduc-
ton in the cost Transportation
will undoubtedly increase the
railroad receipts without more
nomiually increasing expense.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Kan
sas City Star writing from the
Worlds Fair compares the Mis-
souri, and Kentucky buildings aud
severely criticising the former.
lie describes the beauties of the
Kentucky house and SAYS there is
an air OF comfort and rest about it.
He thinks the Missouri building,
which cost $4,000, is not equal
Ia the Kentucky building, which
cost $4,000, and cites that the Mis-
souri, commissioners had over two
years while the Kcntucky Commits
sioners had but three months 10
arrange their plans. "With its
appropriation Of 100000" he
says, "KentucIiy has built and fur
nished a house twenty times more
inviting than Missouri, at nearly
one-hali the cost. 1t has extensive
AMI tasty exhibits in nearly all de
partments, and with a smaller APP
preparation than ours, has attracted
five times the attention" This
