Especial privileges to none," is a
time-honored Democratic principle,
and is being put into practice in the
departments at Washington. In
the Treasury Department an order
has been issued which will put a
stop to the practice Of making GER
tain accounts Especial" and there
by insuring them consideration be-
fore other accounts filed in advance
of them. Influential attorneys
have heretofore been able to get
accounts presented by them as
specials" thereby working injus-
tice to persons who were not dispos-
ed to pay attorney fees. Under the
new rule every account will be con-
sidered in it's turn, and there will
be no such thing as favoritism -

A Legislative act, that has been
termed the jag cure BILL" has
passed the Michigan Senate. 1t
provides that Justice of the Peace
may have power to give a person
arrested of drunkenness the choice
of taking the gold cure or being
tried for the offense. If the prison.
er decides to take the cure he fur
nishes security to the amount of
800 that he will take the treatment
for at least 80 days, and will not
indulge in the use of spirituous or
malt liquors for a period of 80
DAYS.

A few of the Michigan people
who visited the State building at
the Worlds Fair, acted as if they
were the whole State. One party
spread a lunch on the piano and
was very indignant when an official
objected. A family took their
lunch into one of the parlors, and
scattered fragments of their food
on the polished floor. The head Of
the family became enraged when
spoken to about the misuse, and
talked as if the building had been
erected for his special benefit. The
officials should turn such people
outside.

A New Certain Cure for Piles

We do not intend TO indorsc any except
articles of genuine merit; we therefore
take pleasure in recommending to suffer
ers from Piles in any form, a prompt M
permanent cure. The following letter.

Other Expositions.

Almost from time immemorial
different nations have had fairs at
which the products of these nations
and Of others were on exhibit and
for sale. The first international ex-
position in the modern sense of the
word, however, was held at London

most formidable battleships and at
tributes it to their refinement OF
courtesy in knowing that we had
nothing but the cruisers, 1.-THE light
cavalry of the sea to show, and SO
sent nothing but their cruisers to
show alongside of ours"
This may have been the reason,
but there have been rumors that
those mighty battleships are not al
together seaworthy and that the
governments who own them dare
not expose them to the perils OF
the great ocean. If this is true
they will be rs reluctant to send
them over in time of war as in time
of peace, and therefore, this country
is protected against them by the
wind and waves of the Atlantic.
However this may be, the great
parades have suggested to some
naval critics two defects in the
cruisers. One is that the white
color of our ships makes them far
more conspicuous marks to the
enemy's guns than the dark ones of
other fleets; and another is that, in
the words of an officer on board of
the British vessel Blake, "they
stand too high out of water and so
make good targets for the enemy to
fire at.
Perhaps in this as in other things,
it is we'll to learn from an enemy.

in 1851, under the patronage of the
prince consort, Prince Albert.
The great building of that EXPOSE
ton was the crystal Palace" so
called because glass was so largely
used in its construction. The en-
tire cost of the building and man
agement, including the expenses of
awards and maintenance, was less
than 81 100000, while the receipts
from all sorces exceeded So, 100000,
leaving clear profit of about 60
per cent OIL the original investment.
The Crystal Palace still stands at
Sydenham, and covers an area
about 1000 feet long by 300 feet
wide.
The success of the London ex-
position induced New York, in
1853, to inaugurate the Exhibit of
the industry of all nations" This
exhibition was held in what is now
known as the Reservoir Park, not
far from the Grand Central Station.
The entire cost of the exhibition,
which also boosted a crystal pal
ace," was 81 100000, and the enter
prise was not financially fortunate,
as the building was afterwards de-
stroyed by fire. The Munich ex-
position of 1854 was also failure.
In 1855 the international exhibition
at Paris was held. There was a
main building of stone, brick and
glass, but there was also other
buildings, designed for special ex-
hibits, as in the later international
expositions. The Paris exposition
also made a departure in exhibiting
artistic as well as industrial pro-
ducts, and in many ways eclipsed
all former worlds fairs.
England, spurred to new effort
by the success of the Paris exhibit
ton, inaugurated in 1852 new ex-
position, which, with it's main build
ing and "annexes" covered nearly
twenty-four acres. Over $4,000 ex-
hibitors competed for prizes, and in
the art department an impressive
showing was made. France, not to
be outdone, replied with the EXPOSE
ton of 1858, which was begun in
1853, and was planned on scale
that seemed wonderful at that time.
The cost of the main building was
far above 100000, and in the six
months preceding the opening of
the exposition, nearly 1900 men
were kept at work. The entire cost
of the exposition was about 81, 500,-
600; and the receipts, including
government aid, was about S5,000,-
600.
The next great exposition was at
Vienna in 1878. The affair was
conducted under the auspices of the
imperial government. The groups
of exhibits were twenty-six in num-
Der, and the showing was even SUI
perior to that of the Paris exposi-
ton, the cost Of the exhibit being
over $0,000,000, while the number
of visitors recorded by the turnstiles
was above 100000. Financially,
the exhibit was not a success.
Within more recent years the
Centennial" at Philadelphia in
1875, the Paris exposition of 1878
and the exposition universelle of
1889, as well as those at Sidney in
1879 and at Melbourne in 1880 have
attracted widespread notice. Since
1851 about 100 international ex-
positions of more or less magnitude
have been held, and the fact that
the one at Chicago will eclipse them
all Is good reason for pride on the
part of every American.-Boston
Advertiser.
