Chicago, June 10th.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL
have lesn some time in Washing
ton looking after the California edi-
tors or would have written last
week.
When the California editors, who
come in here on a junketing trip and
free passes, had taken in the sights,
they started straight for Washington.
They sneaked of. one at time, on
the pretense of visiting an old maid
en- aunt in Massachusetts,, and then
lit into Washington and hunted up
Grover Cleveland.
When struck the White House,
they were all there, camped in the
front yard.
Editor Colnon, of Stockton, had a
tent pitched on the White House
piazza, ard was renting cots in it to
his more impecunious brethren.
Clip Craig. of Rsdlands, and Ed
tor Buckingham were sleeping in
hammocks under the trees.
These men mean to get there.
They carried California for Grover
and they propose to let him know it.
SO far as I can learn, none of them
have secured an office yet. They all
want SO, 900 year Councilships.
Yesterday | went to the Midway
Plaisance and saw the India dancing
girls, They are awful and made me
blush in several colors.
l left, disgusted with such loud
shows, and never went near the
place again until after lunch.
Here l met Controller Horton,
several times in fact, and also Jim
Yerington and Commissioner
Haines.
They are there all the while TAX
ing notes of the loudness of the
dancing TO submit to Anthony Com
stock.
l am there daily taking notes and
| shall lecture against the iniquity as
soon as | return to the moral atmos
phere of the sagebrush.
1 met the Spanish Princess again
today, and she rushed over to have a
chat, always glad to hear anyone
talk in her natural CASTELAR, accent.
1 had to quit, however, for she had
Just come from the German village
lunch, and her limberger laden
breath would cause horse to back
a block.
She attended the Palmer blow
out that evening, and they do say
her breath peeled the varnish off the
furniture.
One of the curiosities here is the
newspaper reference books which
enable the Exposition management
to feel the pulse of public opinion.
Strengthen the weak points, COM
bat mis-statements, and meet oppo-
sition aggressively. Reading these
pasted files, it is easy to note every
fuctuation of public sentiment from
day to day. They show, for instance,
that France, slow to act in the early
stages of agitation, has aroused to
the fullest appreciation of the advan-
tage to be gained by an exhibition.
Turning to the Japanese book, which
reflects the opinions of the other side
of the globe, the records show the
Japanese have been among the
staunchest and most energetic friends
of the Fair from its inception. The
Same comparison made be made in
the Estate" books, SO that the series
as whole may be compared to re-
lief map of international interests in
the Exposition, with every depression
of enmity and every mountain-peak
of friendship outlined. No such
work has ever been attempted be-
fore in connection with an exposi-
ton. It Wonld have been of i'm
mense value as guide in the orga- /
nization of the Columbian Exposition
could some such history been accea-
sible. And when the next great
Worlds Fair is planned, whether in
the United States, or abroad, this
scrap book record will be of inestim-
able worth to the nell who have the
Of organization"
Major Moses P. Handy, the gen
Llemen to whose rare executive
ability so much is due, is tall slen-
Ter man in the very prime of life,
