Demolition Going on Rapidly at the
Worlds Fair.

Demolition is going on rapidly at tho
Worlds Fair in Chicago, and everywhere
there are seen signs of destruction. The ad-

are seen and these suggest calamity. 1hey

on which they float were deserted. There IL
very little for the visitor to see except IN"
buildings. Tho Manufactures Building IS
still open to sight-Seers. but to the other
buildings only passholders are admitted. Inc
electric lights are few. and at night the
grounds are left in darkness. With the eX-
ception of the Administration Building and
the Service Buildings none of the Exposition
structures are lighted or heated.
The work of removing exhibits begins at 7
o'clock in the morning and ends at 4.3O
o'clock, on account of darkness. Tracks
have been laid from the yards Of the termi-
nal station connecting with the tracks that
are run into all of the buildings about the
court of honor and to the northern end OF
the grounds. taking in the Government,
Horticulture and WOmans Building. Agrl-
culture Building is a chaos OF debris. Inc

The Next Paris ExDOsitiOn.

France is already beginning to prepare Tor
the universal exp ositiOn of 1900, and if that
exposition is not entirely ready fOrthe official
opening-as the history of worlds fairs
makes it safe to predict it will not bet will
not be for want of beginning the work Of
preparation in time The site has not yet
been selected definitely, but it is suspected
with some reasonableneSs that the govern
ment officials favor the location occupied by
the exposition OF 1889. though they are max
ing pretenses Of examining other proposed
sites with a great deal of PARTICULARLY.
The CommissiOner-General has been Sc
lecteG. however, and his appointment caused
not a little surprise. Heis VI. Alfred Picard,
a Counselor of State. who has been acting rs
president of the commission appointed by the
Minister of Commerce and Industry to pass
upon the availability of the different sites
submitted for the fair. NJ. Berger, Il proml-
uent official of the Exposition of 1889 was
almost sure Of getting the appointment. and
it was even said it had been promised him by
Minister Terrier. His failure to get it ls
ascribed to the governments dlSSatls faction
with his course in the Chamber of Deputies,
of which he is member.
Mr.. Picard is forty-eight years of age. He
was a pupil of the celebrated Polytechnique
School. and after his graduation there entered
the government School of Bridges and Roads.
He served with the engineers during the
Franco-Prussian war and was promoted to
be chief of the engin ser corps at Ferdun. He
was appointed state counselor in 1881 and
made section president in 1885. He has the
cross of a grand officer OF the Legion of
Honor and holds tho position of Inspector
general of bridges and roadways of the first

IT is not the Wall street gold
bugs who are responsible for the
financial troubles in Denver, but
the distrust and lack of confidence
of her own people. There is no
bank that can stand a drainage of
hundreds of thousands in a day
without preparing for it. There is
not doubt that the Denver banks
are sound, but this insane run
upon them for hundreds of thou
sands of dollars has simply forced
them to suspend payments. 1t is
a fool movement of the home SIM

MONDAY. JULY 81, 1898.
To-MoRRoW'S ELECTION.

This is the last day that remains
for the LIGHT to urge upon its
readers the necessity of voting for
that proposition, to meet the pres
ent debt of the city by the issue
of installment notes at a lower rate
of interest than is now paid. This
proposition comes before the voters
of this city tomorrow and should
be promptly accepted, because it
is to the personal interest of
every taxpayer in the city to
accept. As has been again and
again set forth, this issue of $24O,-
600 installment notes, at six per
cent, takes the place of the $24O,-
OOO demand notes drawing eight
per cent. This reduction of two per
cent in the interest rate is Just that
much clear gain to the taXpay-
ers, besides giving the city an OPP
portunity to save from the regular
revenues Of the city from month
to month sufficient amount
to meet these notes as they fall
due. The advantages to the CITY
Will be a saving of about $4,000
in cash; and the opportunity af-
torded the council to put into prac-
tlce its theories of retrenchment
upon which it went before the peo-
pie last February. AS these notes
fall due every second month, and
are to be paid out of the regular
revenues OF the city, such payments
will necessitate that rigid econo-
my III the management of her
municipal affairs demanded
by the stringency of the times
and promised by the administra-
ton. The credit and good faith of
the city are alike involved in the
acceptance of the proposition to be
voted on tomorrow, and this with
the knowledge that such accent
ance does not add to, but actually
diminishes, the amount to be paid
by the city in the settlement of the
demand now held against her.
should bring every taxpayer to the
polls with vote favoring the issue
OF $4o,OCO installment notes, non
convertible, payable in bi-monthlv
lnstallments of $4,000 each, at six
per cent interest, until all are paid.
The vote should be a representa-
tive one, showing the interest of
the people in the financial credit
Of San Antonio.
