ity tor holding of the fair beyond fur
nishing buildings aud grounds. The
fair was to be- held under auspices OF
the government of the United States
and would be the greatest exposition
of the kind ever known or would be
known for the next one hundred years.
People would be proud of it, not as
Chicago fair, but as national fair.
Mr.. O'Neil said that If he had an
opportunity he would offer an amend
ment providing for the opening OF the
worlds fair on Sunday.
Morse suggested that the Massa-
chussetts Legislature had unanimously
passed resolution in favor of Sunday
closing. He believed he represented
the people OF Massachusetts, when he
asked that workingmeu who could not
afford to take day off should have
an o. portunity to visit the Worlds
fair on Sunday.
Mr. Morse said that the gentleman
missrepresented the people of Massa-
chussetts.
Mr. O'Neill-"I represent the best
Thought and the best sentiment of the
people of Massachusetts, my state,
my native state, and it is not yours.
In the interest of religion and morally
think the fair should be open on
Sunday"
Mr.. Bland opposed the motion to
recede from the disagreement. He de-
MED that the national honor was in
volved, and denied that the national
honor was intrusted to representa-.
lives on the floor from the city OF Chi
cago, or to lobbyists ia the the corri-
doris and galleries.
Mr.. Hit supported the motion. The
appropriation was not a scheme TO car
ry out any scheme of the people of
Chicago or Illinois. IL was intended
to keep the faith of the government,
and to keep pure and intact the people
of the United States.
Mr.. Taylor antagoniZed any prOpo-
sition to open the Worlds air on q
Sunday.
Mr.. Reid favored the motion to re-
cede. The exposition was an enter
prise set in motion by The congress of
the United states. Congress had
placed the exposition in u dual char
acter. AS far as 1t was to be an expo
sition for the pleasure and profit of
the people, 1t was interested ~ to the
local portion in order that the United
States might neither have advantage

tage of pecuniary loss. But at
the same time inasmuch as it
was the worlds exposition, IL was
necessary for the United States to be
intermediary between the exposition
and the department of foreign lands.
1t became essential to the dignity of
the government that it should assume
contrib of the exposition In some re-
spects. national commission bad

the honor and dignity OF the nation
to provide for carrying out the plans
of that commission. 10 refuse to sus-

City of the West and believed the peo.

favor of repeal, but was not asking
