from which the following motto was
taken: "The men who have helped
build Chicago want the Fair, and,
having just and well-sustained
claim, they mean to have 1t"
A temporary organization was
formed, and Chicago citizens went
to work to secure
the prize. Chicago" meetings were
held all over the Northwest, and
every one who could help before Con-
gress was pressed into service. The
idea then held of the ultimate mag
nitude Of the enterprise Is seen in
the fact that citizens went to work
to secure S., 900, 900 in subscriptions
with which to satisfy Congress that
Chicago could build the Fair. This
amount and more was raised among
citizens, and the city government
afterward added $4,000, 900 more.
The two amounts together are less
than half the actual cost Of the Ex-
position.
There were many claimants for the
Exposition prize, but when the Chi
cago delegation went to Washington
to fight the battle before Congress
they found that only three other
cities were formidable rivals. These
were New York, Washington and ST.
Louis, and the fight soon became so
hot that the latter two dropped out.
The New York forces were marshaled
by Chauncey NJ. Depew, while the
Chicago camp included such men as
Thomas B. Bryan, Lyman J. Gage,
f. w. Peck, Mayor Cregier, E. t.
Jeffery, Edwin Walker and Others,
under command Of Col. George r
Davis, now the Director General, Of
whose management in the campaign
too much praise cannot be said. Chi
cago was also ably assisted by Vice
President Adlai E. Stevenson,
Col James A. Mckenzie OF Ken
lucky, some of the Illinois Congress
sional delegation and others. These
men worked night and day until the
battle was ended on Feb. %, 1880,
when Congress, by joint resolution,
located the Fair in Chicago.
Organizing for the Work.
The act OF April 90, which really
authorized the Fair, provided for the
establishment of local corporation.

hold last night, Mr.. Allen appeared
and released his following from all
pledges OF future support. He de-
clared that if it was deemed expedient
for him to retire from the contest, he
would DO 50, hut If, on the other hand,
il was their Judgment that he should
remain in the field, he would he cam
diiAtc If need bc till the close of the
session.
Mr.. Allen then retired, and 40
members pledged themselves anew
that they would stand by him till ad.
journmcnt. This means. Of course,
that there will lie no election, and as
Judge Turner, several weeks ago, pro.
posed to Withdraw if Mr.. Allen would
do likewise, the responsibility rests
solely with the majority of the Repub-
lean presentation, for defeat Of the
will of the majority Of the Legislature.
Many dark horses have been
groomed, and await impatiently the
call to come forth, but it is useless to
speculate upon the availability of any
man a. long as the rule or ruin"
principle is boldly proclaimed as the
only rule of action.
1t is Allen or nobody with the leaders
of the Republican party, and this pol.
icy will inevitably lead to defeat at the
polls, when the people pass judgment
upon this short-sighted policy. 1t is
in keeping with the acts that reduced
the splendid majority of 5000 in the
State to a bare plurality at the last
general election.

The programme gives the order of the
game, each of which, as we'll as the
play for the tricks, involves a separate
and beautiful march or dance.
The players we're Mr.. Shannon and
Judge Hoyt, and Senator Horr and
Gen. O'Brien. The betting, from the
first, was in favor of the former gentle.
men. 1t was we'll known that they
have had larger and better opportuni.
ties for studying the intricacies of the
game than those whose arduous duties
in the Senatorial arena and on the
CORY field have absorbed the major part
of their time. There was no surprise
therefore, that the former won-in
fact it seemed to be foregone conclu-
sion, and had the game gone the other
way, there would have been q faint

would have been q grievance to be
borne.

EMBODIED in the report OF the leeis'
lative committee appointed to visit the
State Reform School, at Chehalis
Lewis county, was a recommendation
that small printing Office be started
in connection with the school to be
for the inmates means of education
A small newspaper is to be issued
from the Office, and in the course oil
time in this newspaper shall be pub
lished the advertisement for supplies
for the institution. The trustees are
recommended to mark copies of the
advertisement and send to prominent
merchants throughout the State who
may wish to put in bids to furnish
supplies. The committee failed to
state what the boys at the reform
school had perpetrated to be compelled
to work in q printing Office. It il
presumed that the Office will be able
to turn out its own JOB work also
Perhaps the school can thus be placed
on a paying basis. Will the news
papers of the State not have some
thing TO say regarding this scheme Of
each State institution owning its own
newspaper plant.

THE Fairhaven Independent, in COM
menting upon the threatened reap
pearance of crinoline, and the PROPOSE
ton in the Minnesota Legislature to
prohibit the wearing of hoop-skirts,
says:
Let the men decline to appear in public.
or to dance, or to make love to the dear
creature" who shall persist in surround
ing herself with bands of steel. This will
bring the girls to time. Inside Of thirty
days the crinOline will have become OBJ
solete.
That would be a splendid plan if it
would work, but where is the man
who would shun his best girl though
she be surrounded by a barbed.wire
fence? 1t is easier to preach than to
practice, and a man can never talk
through his hat with more propriety
than when lie suggests some such
damphool remedy as that. Why the
average man would not live up to such
a resolve ten seconds under the fash
of pair of bright eyes.
