The Worlds Columbian Exposition has
ceased TO exist. Never since that first ax-
position for which the once famous CRYSTAL

nations have prided themselves on their

none have approached the wonder which
Turing the past six months has been the

been privileged to behold it. But magnif
cent as were the exhibits-better the ma
lions cannot now produce-the great fea-

architecture of the buildings in which so
much that was truly extraordinary was

warburton Pike. an Englishman and an
explorer, has just returned to civilization
after a lengthy sojourn in Central Alaska,
which, by the way, is more of an unknown
land than was Central Africa prior to the
advent of Stanley on the dark continent.
Mr.. Pike is satisfied that except as game
preserve the interior Of Alaska is worthless.
and at present anything like dispute over
that allegation is not possible because there
is no one who can argue with Mr.. Pike,
but 1t will be well to remember that English
opinion as to a country's value Is not al
ways reliable. Great Britain might still have
possessed much Of the northwestern terri
tory now belonging to the United States
the states Of Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana-had not the brother of the then pre-
mier Of England been travelling in the dis
puted region. He was a sportsman, and
because the salmon in the Columbia river
would not rise to fly he said that the coun-
try was not worth quarreling over. His
testimony was accepted but in view Of later
developments seems to be rather ridiculous.

four hundredth anniversary of this coun-
try's discovery by Columbus there were
those among public men who persistently
fought the proposition to invest public
funds In any such enterprise. Their stubby-
fingered intellects could not grasp the idea,
their short-sighted mental vision saw no
profit in the transaction. Many Of them
have since admitted their error, and would.
If possible, wipe out the antagonistic record
they made. for it is evident that of all the
civilizing influences operating on this con-
tinent none can compare with those set in
motion by the exposition held in Chicago.
And while much of the credit must be given
to the nation in its entirety, and to those
states and territories of the republic whose
cooperation was as hearty as it was essen
tial, the great need of praise must be given
the city of Chicago. When Congress was
considering where 1t should locate the fair
this city expressed its more than willing
ness to take upon it's shoulders a great
financial burden and the responsibility for
such an immense undertaking as that
which has Just reached so successful con-
clusion. The Star still believes that the
only place for a great national exposition
Is the national capital. and 1t is satisfied
that very much of the friction which at
times threatened the success Of the under
taking at Chicago would have been OBJ
waited had the great show been In the Dis
trict of Columbia, for here the general gov
eminent would properly have had absolute
control But Congress in its wisdom, or in
that which Congress is pleased to term wis
dom, decided that the exposition should be
held in Chicago, and there, in spite Of many
interfering circumstances, the best products

wonderful city. In it's brief existence 1t
has touched the extremes of prosperity and
adversely. Burned to the ground, 1t was
rebuilt on a grander scale and after a su-
perior fashion, and today. while it is not
by any means the most beautiful city in
the western hemisphere, 1t Is recognized
the world over as the most thoroughly
representative center of American popula-
ton. All honor to Chicago.

Americans who are interested in the
growth OF the National Museum and who
see no evidence Of effort to add to the riches
Of that great and popular educational insti-
tuition some OF the many treasures that
nave been on exhibition at the Worlds Fair
are wondering at the lack Of activity among
those whose pleasure 1t should be to make
the National Museum not only worthy Of
It's name but the greatest institution of the
Kind on this or any other continent. 1t is
generally known that the museum has
much less money than II needs, but It could
probably secure an Increased appropriation
were the necessities of the concern and the
work 1t is doing properly laid before Con-
gress- For two years or more It has been
definitely known that there would be great
exposition IN this country in 1893 and It was
not dfmcult to figure out that much desir-
able museum material would be brought
from the ends OF the earth by nations and
individuals, but so far as any one outside
or the museum management knows there
was not even an attempt to have Congress
appropriate a few thousand dollars with
which to pay freight from Chicago to WASH
fngton on exhibits which would gladly have
oeen donated by their owners, but which
have been declined because the small sum
needed for transportation is not available
Never will there be another such opportu-
nifty to acquire rare collections as is even
now afforded, but unless there Is instant
activity the opportunity viii be unimproved
because Congress will by adjournment re-
move the appropriative power. Next De-
ceznber viii be too late. The time is now.

Several hundred wise men of Gotham

the landscape Ger. They nearly dislocated
their necks gazing up at the sky scrapers
and they held on with both hands while
they whizZed through the tunnels on cars
drawn by Mr.. Yerkes' justly celebrated
cables They took a Journeys days ride
from Lake View to the southern city lin
it's. and they got tired before they made
the trip from the lake to the western boun-
dairy line. What they saw scared them
and they no sooner got home than they
passed the word along that Brooklyn must
be annexed if New York would be spared
the disgrace of becoming the second city
in the Union-Chicago being the first This
is fattering to Chicago and the annexation
movement gives US no concern. Within five
years the population of this city will be
greater than that of New York and Brook
Ign combined. And II the worst comes to

Benjamin Franklin, who in his time said

OF liquor dealers who delayed making ap-
plications for licenses until the last day of
the old license year wish they had taken
time by the forelock and had commenced
the license getting operation a month or
% ago. Yesterday the attorney for the
District made plain the fact that all persons
who are not today in possession of licenses
under the act Of March 3, 1888, and who,
being without these licenses. sell intox-
icating liquors, are subject to arrest and
prosecution 1t does not appear how under
the law any other conclusion could have
been reached. and the dealers who find
themselves pinched by the statutory pro-
themselves. 1t would have been Just as
easy for them to have deposited the fee and
made the application two months ago as II
was to make It yesterday, and by this time
they are probably convinced that pro-
crastination does not pay. 1t is difficult to
see what power the District Commissioners
have to ameliorate the condition in which
the procrastinators find themselves. The
law is mandatory and must be complied
with. It Is probable that most of the sa-
loon keepers who delayed making app,ica-
ton until the last moment were purposely
deliberate Of action. imagining that some
thing would be saved by keeping the money
necessary to pay the fee in their own hands

was erroneous is now evident, and it is
