no es va solamente ell patriofisnso de los

sino que tambien su diguidad.
Esto va no es echar las campanas a

Creemos que ell patriotismo tiene sus
hmites que es un sentlmIento muy
santo y muy noble para ridiculizarle de
ese modo
Lo mismo decimos del entusiasmo,
que cuando Sc remonta hasta la hlper-
bole resulta risible; pues otro colega
capitaleno llama los tripulantes de la
noo heroes valientes, porque han
atravesado ell oceano en- IN barco de
$50 tcneladas, sin tener en- cuenta que
diariamente vienen de la Peninsula
barcos de 100 toneladas, tripulados las

Hemos llegado una epoca en- que, el

Heroes y grandes, fueron Colon sus

cion. Por ell contrario somos los prl-
meros en- aplaudirla. Pero vemos en-
ella ell mismo arrojo y valentia que en-
los demas marinos que en- pequenas

The Columbian exposition has been

point of attendance For three months
and more the attendance vas compar-
a,ively light, but with the reduction
in railroad rates in August the crowds
began to swell, and since the reduc-

some three weeks ago, the average
daily attendance has been considera-
blv over 200. 600 On only three days
since October q has the attendance
fallen below that number. and two of

is the latest victim Of the assassin's
bullet and the pulse OF great man is
still in death Harrison was one of
the most noted men Of the day and
his untimely death will shock the

gast by name, was an insane paper
carrier. who imagined he was capable
of filing III Office Of corporation attor-
ney. Mr.. Harrison was popular with
the masses, aud through persisteucy
crowned his efforts with success. His
death coming at this time causes sor-
row, not only in Chicago. but every

CLOSE OF THE GREAT FAIR.

The greatest industrial exposition
m the history of the world closes this
evening at Chicago. And sadly
enough it goes out in gloom on ac-
count of the foul assassination of the
worlds fair mayor, Carter Harrison.
The fair cost far more than any of its
predecessors. and its receipts, too,
have been without a parallel il
covers more ground and embraces a
larger area of floor space than did
even the last Paris exposition One
building alone at Chicago covers thirty
acres of ground-nearly half as mucl
as was needed for all the buildings OF
the big Paris show The Chicago faiI
is notable, too. for the beauty of it,
grounds, itslocation on the lake front
and the arrangement and appearance
of the buildings, either together ol
individually.
As to the exhibits-their value, va
riety. arrangement and the countries
from which they came-the worlds
fair in Chicago surpasses all of its pre-
decessors. In machinery, manufac-
lures, agricultural products and live
stock it has been exceptionally strik
ing. Our art display is very credit
able one, but, of course, we cannot
excel Paris in painting and sculpture.
We have beeh beaten also in some
lines of manufactured goods but as a
whole the Columbian exposition has
surpassed all Others in exhibits, as il
has in buildings grounds and general
effect The prominence given to
woman's work has made our fair nota-
bile in the history of expositions The

Gers Elected and Seventeen
Members Hooked.

The question Of Labor in America is
purely question of money. and not
of private citizenship of land, as
Henry George and his followers be-
lieve. When the land becomes the
property OF a few, II such be tolerated
under our political institutions, then
the question of labor, and with il the
questions of political and personal
liberty. viii become questions Of land
and money both. and revolution alone
would be able to solve them The
spirit of liberty, however, imbibcd
from centuries Of education and train
ing, is too deeply rooted in the Amer
lean citizen to ever permit landed ar
istocracy, either to drive him from the
land or compel him to cultivate it in
servitude.
This and like sentiments have caused
the formation n this CIV of an organ

The hQlIng power of wire and cut
nails vas recently investigated at the
Wutertovn Arsenal, and the cut nails
were shown 20 have q holding power
about seventy-threc per cent greater
than the other class As the produc-
tion of steel wire nails now exceeds
the output Of cut uails, and, as the
manufacturers of the latter claimed
for them % greater holding power, a
challenge was issued and accepted,
and the arsenal test was to decide the
dispute In hity-cight series of tests
the cut nails came out ahead in each,
and in most cases very much ahead.
In all l,lG0 nails, ranging from one
and one-eighth TO six inches In length
were driven into spruce and pine tim
Der, and the force required 10 pull
them out was measured on un Emery
testing machine. With floor nails
from two TO four inches long, driven
in spruce, the resistance of the cut
nails was eighty per cent higher than
that of the wire nails; with finish
nails, in spruce, the cut nail was sew
enty-two per cent ahead, and when
driven into pine, with the taper per
pendicular to the grain of the wood
. the excess resistance in favor of the
cut nail was l3a per cent Even with

which occurred during his term of

the size of apple barrels, which was Of
So otrivial a character that the gov crnor
vetoed it. In the following summer
an old farmer from the Mohawk Val
