THE ORDERLY CROWDS.

Says the editor of the Moorhead
Neeos, who has spent considerable
time at the fair, referring to feature
which has been frequently spoken of:
The closing weeks of the exposition
have been the best in all respects.
There have been more attractions
aside from the exhibits, celebrations.
concerts. Examinations, fireworks.
parades, orations, banquets, recep-
tions, ETC., and the attendance from
three to ten times as great as in its
earlier history. The large attendance
has been one of it's most interesting
and attractive features. A remark
able and gratifying phase of the null
titude of people within the gates, on
the way thither and departing there
from, which no keen observer of
human nature has failed to notice. has
been their orderly conduct, their po-
lite. obliging and patient bearing and
their happiness at all times displayed.
They have gone to the fair in a spirit
of love and fraternity, for pleasure,
for recreation and for sightseeing.
Some have gone in pursuance of study
in particular lines, but the great mass
have gone to crafty the desire to see
the marvellous and curious.

REPEAL ACCOMPLISHED.

Tuesday evening at Washington the
repeal bill finally passed the senate
by vote of 43 to 80 and the victory
for which the people have so long
contended was won. Tomorrow the
bill will be called up in che house
and passed, after which it will receive
the signature of the President and be-
come law After contention of
over two months, the senate has re-
lucantly given away to the pressure
of public opinion and the Presidents
backbone and allowed the regular
course of business to have it's way.
And now that the gradual swing
ing towards a single silver standard
has been arrested, the people are to
be congratulated for the firm manner
in which they exerted public senti-
ment to bring about this result, by
backing up the President in his fight
for it, Now that the strain
is over and this menace
to sound finance removed business
will take new lease of life and con-
ffdence will begin to exert itself every
where so far as money matters are
concerned.
AS to the result, the Republicans
have every reason to be proud. Of the
43 votes cast in favor of the bill %
were Republican and 20 Democrats,
again confirming the statement many
times made that the administration
was obliged to rely upon the Repub-
lican party for support to carry out
sound financial policy.

THE ATTENDANCE.

In point of attendance the worlds
fair has scored a great success. During
the first few months the outlook was
dark indeed, and all sorts of predic-
lions were made as to it's financial fail
ure, In fact, the change in attenda nee
whereby the financial side of the un-
dertaking was an assured success, did
not come uuntil the latter part of
August when the people began to
flock to the white City" by The
thousands. Since then the debts of
the fair have been wiped out and it is
said that good sized dividend will
be declared upon it's stock. Follow
ing is the official figures for paid adj
missions up TO Sunday night, Oct. 30:

the state in this direction. OF our
our fruit display St. Paul Globe cor
respondent few weeks ago said:
There are 40 varieties of Minnesota
grown fruit, including twenty five
" Tieties of apples shown. The apples
IrG hardy and are not only good
keepers, but excel in color and flavor.
Minnesota is not a peach growing
state, yet excellent Minnesota grown
peaches are also shown. The grapes
and plums are especially fine, and in
small berries the fruit interests of the
state appear to splendid advantage.
The currents, gOOSeberries and
strawberries are nice as it is possible
for them to grow in any locality, and
they are superior to those grown in
some localities making greater pre-
tentiOnS in the way of fruit growing.
In every other department Minne-
sofa made fine showing and the
number of awards taken show that
claims made have all been well
founded. Especially is Minnesota
noted as an agricultural state, and
the fact that 1t captured an award
for every two entries made in that
department is ample proof of the su-
periOrlty of it's products.
In the forestry, mining, fine arts,
manufacturing aud other depart
mentS, Minnesota has made an excel
lent showing and attracted much at
tention. while it's educational exhibit
has been regarded among the finest
on the grounds, showing that while
the people have been transforming
the wilderness into the garden, and
busy in the commercial world, they
have not forgotten the intellectual
side Of man, but have provided well
therefor, and pushed forward as the
equal of many older states.
The people of Minnesota will never
have cause for regret for the part the
state has taken at Jackson Park, but
as the years 60 by they will recall
with pleasure and profit the glories
won. And TO those patriotic, public
spirited, generous citizens who came
fOreward IN the days of need and
made the great undertaking possible,
she will ever owe debt of gratitude.
To the press of the state also be-
longs a share of the credit for the sue
cessful ending of the states partici-
patton in the exposition. With few
exceptions it favored the project
from the first, and 'disarmed OPPOSE
tion by showing the benefits there
from. 1t built up strong public
sentiment in favor of the show, and
did much to swell the numbers of
those who attended. Ali this has
been done with no other thought of
reward than the future advancement
of the state And what greater re-
ward would be desired

and measures the beneficial influence
1t will have upon our future clviliza-
ton, cannot count it different than a
magnificent succesS-the greatest
achievement of human enterprise and
energy since the morning stars sang
sweetly together.
And now it has closed there is a
tinge of sadness everywhere mani
tested that it must be dismantled and
so soon go the way of the rest of the
world. Thousands would have saved
it if they could, but in this keen re-
greet they will retain the most vivid
impressions of it's glories and beauties
and from this will come it's lasting
benefits.

WORLDS FAIR VISITORS.

From Agent Johnson, of the q. &
N. W. road, we learn that since the
worlds fair opened he has sold from
Mankato 525 round trip tickets and
222 single trip tickets to Chicago, a
total of TAT.
From agent Burdick, Of the Omaha
road, we learn that he has sold during
this time 259 round trip tickets and
90 single trip tickets to Chicago, a
total of $40. This makes total Of
1,O96 for the two roads. The Mil
waukee and NJ & st. l.. must have
sold a large number, as well as every
station in the county. 1t is safe to
place the number of tickets sold at
from 800 to 1000.

1893, it was claimed by the east that
it could not be done; that the time
was too limited and that the buster
ing city Of the western prairies had
undertaken job too great for it's
capacity. And it must be confessed
that there were many In the west who
were afraid that this claim was only
too true. But Chicago was equal to
the emergency, and not only prepared
it in time, but upon scale of grand
eur and magnificence beyond any
thing the world had ever known. That
city had determined that cost what it
might all previous endeavors of Lon
don, Vienna, Paris and Philadelphia
should be outdone, and that in the
white city should be gathered ssuch a
display of art and industry and. ma

But the victories which Minnesota
has won in the way of capturing

success crowned it's efforts. Never
before was there such a bewildering
display of the arts, and the CONNER
cial and industrial products of modern
civilization, and the relics of past
ages, as was there witnessed, and the
world has marveled that this young
city which can hardly measure it's life
by the span of mans years should &C
complish so much.

was not without much hard work, in
which many obstacles were surmount-
ed, that it's part in the fair has been
brought to success, and the results
attained which were aimed at, but a
thing which is the most difficult to
accomplish is always priced the most
highly, and so as the years go by, the
work which has been done for Mime
sofa will be more highly appreciated,
and the people will have ample rea-
sons to feel grateful that they had a
board of worlds fair managers who,
when they put their hands to the
pillow, and determined the state
should be represented at the white
city, as befitted it's great resources
and advantages, refused to look pack.
They knew no such thing as defeat,
but pressed ever forward for success.
The history of the formative period
of the Minnesota exhibit is we'll
known to all, while the full scope and
meaning of the states magnificent
achievement is beginning to be re-
allied by the people. The benefits
which will accrue. and the profit it
will reap from the investment it has
made, will be more greatly appreCiat-
ed through the coming years, as hr0
dredS and thousands of dollars of;.u.
ded wealth will come rolling back for
every dollar the state has expended.
Because the board of worlds fair
managers took IN the full meaning of
the value of such representation
and laid their plans accordingly, they
were met by considerable opposition
from all parts of the state. But
much of this died away as people
came to realize what the improve
ment of this opportunity meant to
the state. But in few quarters
this deposition to criticise in spirit
of unfaiIness was manifested almost
to the last. Referring to this a few
days ago the Minneapolis Times said:
Why there should be censorious
and fault-tinding disposition towards
the relation of this state to the
Columbian exposition is not explain
able upon grounds founded upon good
reasons and conceived in GOOD taste.
The Minnesota building and it's eX-
hibit are exceedingly creditable, and
the wonder is that the commission
did so much and did it so well with
the means placed at their command.
This state has taken many impor
tant and valuable prizes in the de-
partment of awards, gaining them up
on merit and superiority in sharp
competition. Instead of being dis
posed to bellttle our own, there
should be disposition to uphold the
achievements of the North Star ate
and accord it fair play in justice. None
of the hundred thousand and more
Minnesotans who have visited the
White City have had occasion for any
other emotion than pride for their
state. When the impartial history of
the great exposition is compiled it
will be found that Minnesota will

they were met and overcome. Mis-
takes were made which called out the
f1ercest of criticism. but they passed
quietly on, and today in it's magnifi-
cent success, have their ample reward.
One particular feature of the fair
has been the universal manner in
which the world has participated
therein. From every quarter Of the
globe the people have come, and join
ed in what might be called universal
peace congress, exchanged fraternal
greetings and inaugurated brother
ly feeling which must have it's in
fluence through the years to come.
Aud what has been the result OF
this great gathering? How has it
paid for the time and money that has
been freely given and poured out?
Never before has the entire world
been brought so closely together, and
it would be strange indeed if the ties
of friendship and brotherly love were
not more firmly knit, and the respect
which one quarter entertains for the
other quarter greatly increased from
this mingling at Chicago. Christian
America and Christian Europe has
learned much from the heather ORR

THE FAIR AND ITS RESULTS.

The great Worlds Columbian EX-
position is at an end. The gates have
officially closed, and that whirh for
more than a year has been one of the
central, if not the central, topic OF
conversation, has passed into history.
1t has has been well said that the fair
is the eight wonder of the world. 1t
is rather of a trite remark, for the
world is apt to regard any great
achievement in the way of art or in
vention as an eighth wonder. But
there is little doubt but that the Co.
lumbar Exposition will go into his
tory as permanent eighth wonder.
Standing in the heart of the white
city one was filled with awe at the
achievement OF man. Not so much,
possibly, that man could accomplish
what was to be seen there, as the fact
that besides accomplishing it, he
could do it in so short space of time.
And as one looked the buildings
through and noted all the wonders
there collected, the thought inyaria-
bly, came, "What next? Is there
anything within the imagination of
man that Can not be realized by his
genius?" Wonderful, indeed was the
genius displayed there.
When it was decided that Chicago
should have the exposition and that
it should be ready to open May 1st,
