great and patriotic duty Of entertaining for
a consideration, the coming visitors 10 the
Worlds Fair. Stock dofmitories of vast
capacity were also constructed, nor wAs
this all. Private citizens were not to be
out done BY the Bonifsces. The number
Of rooms which they made available for
visitors who ~ere willing to allow fair
consideration was something enormous.
When the Fair opened the accommodations
avsiiable for the visiting hosts were ample.
The hosts came but strange 10 say they
failed to All anywhere near the space that
bad been reserved for them. Besides this the
vast majority of them positively wouldn't
pay high prices. II was found, with no
little di,msy, that the entertainment bust

The widest kind Of competition ensued.
There was loud patter Of feet from the
vast army of landlords Fastening to get out

worry lest their own numbers should be-
found in excess of the visitors to the great
Fair. Prices fell with duh thud A few

There are large number of hotels-somc

can possibly be finished in season to secure

private citizens with spare rooms to dispose

The Massachusetts,.


The battleship Massachusetts, is the third
vessel of that name which has belonged to
the steam navy of the United States. One
of these was a steamer built after the Mexi-
can war. of comparatively small dimen-
sions, which was renamed the Farralones.
She was sold nearly thirty years ago. An
other Massachusetts, a powerful steam fri
gate for her day, was laid down at Ports
mouth at the close of the Rebellion, but
was, we believe, never launched.
The present Massachusetts is every way
worthy of the name of state that will ever
be identified with the glorious history of the
navy. Two famous American warsbipe. the
Constitution and the Hartford, were launched
at Boston, as was the Cumberland, whose
name is everywhere suggestive of fidelity to
death. Massachusetts has contributed even
more than her share to the personnel of the
service from the days of David Porter the
elder to the present time. 1t was only a
fitting tribute to Massachusetts when Presi-
dent ilafrison's administration conferred its
name on the noble battleship that now bears
it.
The Massachusetts represents wise de-
partnre from the traditions that have gov
erne,i the construction of vessels of her class
in other services. She is not as big rs some
foreign ba;tleships, but what she lacks in
bign IS she makes up in power. Nor should
it be understood that the Massachusetts is
in her dimensions open to the
slightest suspicion of inadequacy to the sef-
vice expected of her. She is big enough
for her power, big enough to give it its full

Presiden. Cleveland is Responsible.
New York Press.

Confidence in the future is primary and
essential condition to financial stability
Uncertainty as to the future is the first
provoking cause of the withdrawal of loans
and of tight money market, which in turn
hampers all the business operations of the
country. 1t is precisely this uncertainty
caused by the failure of Mr.. Cleveland to
say anything and of Secretary Carlisle
to do anything which will shed light upon
their purposes, which has precipitated II
series of failures. 1t 10 Mr.. Cleveland
effort to educate Democracy out of
the free silver craze by these '.object les
sons" which has cost the nation hundreds of
millions of dollars. 1t is the policy of ne
CATION, characteristic of the Democratic
party, which causes capital, in bewilderment
at the Washington oracle, who talks only in
riddles, to close its pockets, thereby driv-
ing to the wall borrowers of money for sound
and profitable enterprises. The uncertainty
is accentuated by the threat of changes in
the tariff which disturbs the farmer by fore
ing the wool market to free trade basil.
and which makes timil the manufacturer
as is shown by the closing of rolling mills
and the restricted output of other factories
The power as well as the responsibility
for checking gold exports, restoring shaken
confidence, reviving business enterprise
and reassuring the general public rests
with the President. He cannot shift this
responsibility by appealing to the bankers
to be patriotic If he possesses an ele-
mentary knowledge of that ''art of states
manship" of which he prates, Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND should exercise it by declaring poll
cy, both as to the currency and as to the
tariff.
