world for some time to come. and the
people OF all America may we'll feel
proud of the splendid record Chicago
has made as worlds fair city.
1t is quite likely that the fair grounds
will attract crowds of visitors far into
the winter, as the process of tearing
down will be watched with great inter-
est, and notwithstanding the fair has
closed officially there will doubtless be
continued revenue from gate receipts,
as many Of the ticket sellers and gate
men have been retained. The closing of
the fair drops many people out of en-
.ployment, but it is thought that most
of them will be provided with employ
ment of one kind or another here in the
city, and that no suffering will ensue
among laboring people during the COM
ing winter. Many who have been en-
ployed as guards, gatemen, ETC., will
turn in and assist in demolishing the
buildings and restoring Jackson park
to it's former state.
A number of improvements made by
the fair will remain to beautify the
ground and several of the buildings
will be left intact, possibly until next
summer, on account of a special dispo-
sition which is to be made OF them
Among these are several state build.
ings and two or three foreign buildings
The Illinois state building, it is said,
is to be perpetuated in permanent
state fair building. Not on account Of
its architectural beauty altogether, it
is thought, as that is not of very high
order. The dome is high enough at
any rate, and has been the mark Of
many shafts OF ridicule hurled by crit
ical architects and sculptors But
there is no question about the Illinois
building being the largest and finest
state building at the fair, as was meet
that it should be. and it's contents were
undoubtedly more varied and beautiful
than those of any other state building

There is q proposition to pcrpetuatc
the magnificent Manufactures building
by rebuilding it on the city lake front,
a plan which was received with spon.

into execution or not remains to be

completion of the plan

HuRD As A PROPHET.

Hon. Frank Hurd's Prophecy That High
Tariff Would Make Wheat Sell ut Fifty
Cents Fully Realised.
In tho year 1883, in the opera houes
In the city Of Delaware, In This state,
Hon. Frank Hurd made speech in
which he thoroughly discussed the
principle of protection, clearly estab.
fishing the iniquity Of it's operation,
and demonstrating its destructive force
on all industrieA not excepting those
1t professed to protect. At the close Of
his lucid and convincing argument Mr..
Hurd raised his arm and said: ''Stand-
ing before you to-day with honest con.
viction Of the truth am about to Ut
ter, declare that the principle Of pro.
lection as applied by the republican
party to the economic policy Of this
country is the enemy Of every man

The Ferris wheel will continue to

the wheel to move it to Coney Island,
or Coney's island, or whatever it is,
but the company thought it best to

it will remain for an indefinite time.

sandstone cannot be determined without
