grounds. The gates are almost a show in
themselves. Suppose you arrive at the
F1fty-Seventh street entrance There, all
in n row at least ten rods in length, are no
fewer than eighteen turnstiles, each
guarded by an official. There are twelve
ticket windows, and ct certain hours the
men in all of them are kept very yusy. A
stranger would say, if he did not stop to
think much about it. that there were gate
and ticket facilities enough here for the
whole, exposition. He may even go so far
as TO wonder why they put all of their
gates and ticket sellers in one spot. Much
amazement will be his when he learns
there are just nineteen other entrances,
and that some of them are much more ex-
tensive than this one. If you go to the ex-
position by any of the excursion trains
which run into the terminal station on
the grounds you will have a choice of
twenty-six windows at which to buy your
ticket and of ninety-six turnstileSt through
which to pass. If you go by the steam
ship line on landing at the big pier-the
largest in the world-you will be con-
frOnted by score of ticket windows and
an even hundred turnstiles. In all there
are 1872 ticket windows and 1926 turnstiles
What an enormous crowd they could
care for if the people would only come in
steady streams all day long, But the peo-
pie don't come in that way, and the sur
prisingly large number of ticket booths
and entrances is provided so that there
may be no more uncomfortable crOwding
at the rush hours. A good many of these
326 entrances are used exclusively by the
people who have passes, the number of
these fortunate persons being about 20, 600.
Four-fifths of them are exhibitors and
their assistants or other pe6fle employed
on the grounds.
Wherever one goes about the exposition
he is impressed by the magnitude of the

In his address at the dedication of
the great Illinois buildings on Thurs
day, Mayor Carter Harrison did not
use many words in speaking of Chi
cago, but he said great deal.
Many of you probably are here now
to see Chicago-an American city
1t is American, and yet it is made up
of all people. Chicago is the fourth
German-speaking city on the face of
the globe; Chicago is the second Be-
hemian-speaking city on the face of
the globe; Chicago is the second Po-
disappearing city on the face of the
globe; Chicago is the second Swedish
city on the face of the globe, the
third Scandinavian, counting the
Swedes, Norwegians and Danes. 1t
is the third Irish city in the world,
and with the knowledge one gains on
political occasions they are the first.

ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC: There are
far more republicans in the federal
offices than there are democrats, and
when a democrat makes application
for appointment in the same depart
ment with them it is not surprising
that they should do everything pos

that democrats are being daily re-
jected on the recommendation of re-

May Kiss the Dlarney Stone.

The Irish village and Blarney castle is
one OF the most unique attractions at the
fair. Visitors who care to go to little
trouble may kiss the reproduced blarney
stone, but, as at the original castle, it is no
easy feat to reach the magic rock. A
winding stairway leads to the roof of the
castle and from there the adventurous
may be lowered until their lips press
against the famous slab that has been To-
Gated in an almost inaccessible place on
the side of the building.

A 100000, Robbery.

In 1861 after the war of the rebel
lion broke out, Government borrowed
about Sl50,000,000 in specie from the
banks. In December the banks sus-
pended specie payments and the gov
eminent was thrown on its own
resources, and the entire cost of the
war after that was betrayed in paper
money issued by the government. The
loans to the government, which means
the sale of U. S. Bonds, were all made
in paper money, with no obligation on
the part of the government to pay any
specie except the interest on them.
When the war closed the government
commenced paying off the public debt
by the surplus revenue not used in
defraying its running expenses. In
March Is, 1859, nearly four years
after the war had closed. Congress
passed an act placing the nation under
an obligation to pay these bonds,
which had been issued tor paper money,
and with no other obligation incurred
than their payment in greenbacks, for
which they were issued, except the
interest on them, to pay them in specie.
By this vi!lainous act, Congress gave
the bond holders 5000, 900 600, by
increasing the value of the debt they
held to that amount. Nothing short OF
wholesale bribers could ever have cir.
cumvented such a crime The leaders
of the republican party had control
then, but there was large number of
democrats in Congress. who never made
any protest or objection to such an
Infamous deal, loud enough to be
1 heard, and never since has either of the
parties ever raised voice against it..
For outrages in Legislation similar to
this which these two old parties have
perpetrated for more than twenty
years, is the answer to why the Peoples
party are calling the men who labor in
field, factory, shop and mine to join
hands and break the power of these
subsidized traitors which have sold
them to fraudulent debt holding class
who rob them by every legal device
that can be inventes.

Mr.. L. Leonard said, "My views
upon this subject are of course simply
the expression of an individual opinion
and are not claimed to in any way stand
as an expression of any official action.
Under most of the existing state laws
no provisions whatever are made for the
discharge of an honest unfortunate who
has surrendred all of his property and
has been left with debts hanging over
him; in those states where such pro-
visions are made the discharge granted
is of no force beyond the borders Of
the state and is therefore incomplete.
If Congress would enact good Nation
al measure it would enable every
honest man in the country who fails,
because Of circumstances beyond his
control, to secure discharge which
would enable him to again exercise to
its fullest extent all of his rights Incl.

a discharge would be granted as mat.

the United States treasury Did you
ever know any American citizen who
would object to be fiscal agent of the
government with sum of money ag-
gregating $4,000 900 passing through
his hands? The distillers have the
proud distinction of being the main
supporters of the government no other
approaching them in revenue supply,
except the brewers, who pay $2S, $780,
900 and the tobacconists who pay about
$50, 100000. They know perfectly
well that the consumers of their pro-
ducts will make no emphatic protest on
account of an advance in price. They
know also that the government is com
ing more and more to lean on them; that
their "injustry" more than any other
commands the respect due to multiplied
millions, and they reason that no legis
lation hostile to them and their interests
will be likely to occur while the pre-
sent situation continues. 1t is quite
possible that sham opposition may be
made something to point to when some
customer objects to the price demanded,
but we'll informed people will be slow
to believe that the Illinois congressman
who is preparing the bill is contemplat
ing any measure which the distillers do
not regard with equanimity. They
hrve learned few things in the last
dozen years, and one is that the man
who furnishes the money is not likely
to be questioned very closely as to how
he came to have it.

class is what is meant by the monopoly

The Improvement Of Horses.
From Harper's Weekly,

The sooner the farmers in the United
States realize the fact that the ordinary
and commonly bred horse is likely to de-
teriorate In value year by year, the bet
ter 1t will be for them. The use of cables
to drag street cars has already reduced
the service performed by horses in the
cities, and the extension of the trolley
system In the suburbs and the perfection
of electric motors will relieve many other
thousands of horses from such service.
1t has not been so very long since nearly
all the threshing was done by horses !;
now ouly very small percentage of even
the threshipg- machines are worked by
horsepower. Practically all of the
ploughing is now done by horses; but a
cheap and practical steam-plough will
be shown to visitors to the Worlds fair,
and it is not improbable that in ten years
from now quite a large percentage of
ploughing will be done without the aid
Of horses. The need in the cities and on
the farms for fewer horses will tend
more and more to reduce their market
value. Commonly bred horses will be
the first to deteriorate In price; indeed,
it is doubtful whether finely bred horses
will suffer at all. There is no reason why
they should. The purposes for which
they are used will not be affected by any
inventions revolutionizing methods of
transportation or tillage. Even though
we could fly in the air In balloon en-
/, rely under control, spin on the road
