and confscation, by political scaffolds
and inhuman execution of young men
whose crime has been to love their
country too well; by the expulsion from
Arcadia. of men, women and children
by laying waste our fields; by robbing
and plundering our farmers, defenceless
as they always were, and at last by the
execution of riel.
Specimens OF British Fair Play.

Mr. Mercier warns his compatriots
that the only remedy against British
oppression is the union of all French
Canadians and all Catholics, and if they

EVERY NATION PRAISES IT.
Various Countries of Europe Each In It's
Own Language.

The Tribune Prints Comments of the
Various Countries of Europe Each In It's
Own Language.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The Tribune this
morning prints fac-simile letters from
the foreign commissioners in all the Ian
gusges of Europe. These letters are
laudatory of the fair and represent the
organizations of the various republics
of the nations on earth They all
agree that there never was an exposition
like the Worlds Fair. The opinion Of
Turkeys commissioners covers all, and is
as follows:
1.-The Worlds Columbian Exposition
is for many reasons worthy of being
considered a great event, for it is not
only a memorial of the most brilliant
page in the history of discoveries, but
it is also useful summary of the pro
gress of the world in our times. II is
the evidence Of the activity of this
great American nation, standing in the
first rank by its marvellous accomplish
ments and its business like qualities.
1T is also a sign Of the prosperity Of
Chicago. which shows her fitness for
being the first city of the world Not
only the material marvels of America
but also its many precious qualities are
manifested in this Worlds Fair and the
American press is fulfilling with the
utmost dignity its duty of leader in this
respect. The action taken by the hon
orable paper which kindly accepts these
humble lines proves this, and evokes
from the heart of the undersigned ad-
miration and gratitude (Signed)
