SATURDAY in Chicago was a day of
popular rejoicing, the Duke of Veragua
President Cleveland and Philadelphia's
priceless treasure, the Liberty Bell,
being the trinity that strongly touched
Chicago's heart.
The wonders achieved at the Worlds
Fair in the way of rapid construction,
have probably never been equalled
since the world began. Men and ma
chinery have been combined to produce
results at once magnificent and as
founding. No less than $1,000 individ-
ual workers were employed in putting
on the finishing touches last week, and
money has been poured out like water
to secure the realization of the Expo
sitiOn ideals. In this regard alone the
Worlds Fair stands unapproac liable
by any similar enterprise in the past.
When the preparations shall have been
completed and the great White City
perfected in all its glory, there will
have been spent fully $2O,OoO.OOO,
which is three times as much as was
ever spent at a previous fair. 1t takes
up twice as much space as the greatest
previous exposition, that OF 1889 at
Paris, and far excels that fine show in
the magnifcence of its buildings and
the worldwide interest it excites.
The opening services Monday were
held in front of the east entrance to the
Administration Building. A grand
stand which seated 1000 invited guests.
600 musicians, and $50 newspaper men
besides the fifty distinguished guests
was on the little platform thrown oxt
in 'front.' for President Cleveland.
When the President touched the but
ton 700 banners and flags on the main
building broke into graceful folds.
The flags on the other buildings were
unfurled simultaneously. About 700
men were necessary to carry out the
designs of the decoration department.
as there was a man for each flagstaff
on the main buildings and grounds.
The same moment that President
Cleveland touched the button,
national salute of 81 guns was fred
from the revenue cutter johnson. and
the machinery was started, the flags
unfurled, and .the mammoth electric
fountains in the Plaza began to play.

NOTWITHSTANDING the earnest atti-
tude of the Farmers Institute aud the
speeches and efforts of ]. Alexander
Fulton, E. L. Martin, John B. Pening
ton and John F. Salisbury, the bill to
reform the taxes was killed, and bur.
led in the Senate graveyard on Friday.
Mr.. salisbury, of the Delawdrean. in
referring to it, says:
If any set of people ever showed
their ignorance about measure pend
ing in the General Assembly, the peo.
pie of Wilmington, through the press
of that city and through persons claim
ing to represent the sentiments of that
city, have, and are showing, in their
discussion of the tax question and the
tax measure before the General Assem-
bly,. The press of Wilmington have
directly misrepresented the measure
pending, and the people who, on
Wednesday appeared on the floor of
the Senate to discuss the subject, were
made simply ridiculous, because they
were lighting some cOnjured fancy of
the brain and not any measure before
the General Assembly. They pic
tured the dire calamities that would
result from something that was never
before the Senate, and which no one
advocated or contemplated or would
vote Tor: The fact is they went of
nall cooked, without ever seeing the
game they were hunting for, because
the game which they were in search of
was not in existence and never had
been.
1t is no use for men to try to misreD-
resent this measure or deceive the
people on the tax question at this date.
because the people are thinking for
themselves on this subject. Tbev !
know that our present tax laws are so !
palpably unjust and unfair that they
are a stink and a stencil in the nos.
trils of decency. No sensible man or |
men, who values his reputation in abv
community, will dare defend our tax
laws. In fact there is not a Senator in
Delaware to-day but who will saw the
law is wrong and ought to be amended
Since writing the above we are sorry
70 say that five Senators refused even
70 entertain a proposition for apv
enahge OF the tax laws, and constantly
voted to Kill every proposition to pre.
sent one to the Senate. Those Sena-
LOTS were Filling, Pyle, McMuIlen
"liilams and Ross. They, bv their
action, have placed themselves in the
position ofrepresenting themselves and
no one else. They come here upon
platforms of the voters, pledged to this
tnlng, and they have ignored their
pledges. In the future the people will
know how to vote, and we give them
an assurance that thov vim never
