which has been done thus far thai, in point
Of attendance, the Exposition is a failure
The continuous, almOst daily, rains durlng
the spring and during the first month after
the gates were opened delayed the COM
pletlOu of the buildings and the unpacking
of exhibits and made the May attendance
and receipts extremely small, The june
returns were also disappointing. While
the average daily attendance promises
even at the present showing far 70 exceed
the average as Philadelphia in 1876, which
was only g., 0J0 IL does not promise 70 ap-
preach that OF Paris, in 1888, which was
l5z, 0JO, one days attendance being 400 coo.
The Philadelphia Exposition which COW
cred only sixty acres was Q small affair
compared with the Chicago enterprise,
while the French figures OF attendance, al
though the Paris exhibits covered out sew
enty-6vo acres, and the French people were
but half as numerous as our population, do
not seem likely 20 be reached even IN the
floOd-tide expected In latter August and
early September.
In word, the Worlds Fair is dis
appointment and a failure, so far as
public patronage is concerned, although
its 666 acres are replete with most
valuable, diversified and interesting
exhibits, while the Fair represents an
Investment Of nearly s35, 100000.

srnPPINa - LEAks.

A Republican exchange speaks Of the
endeavors Of Commissioner LoCHREN TO
purge the pension roll Of frauds as a
war on the veterans.
1t is, on the contrary, so far from be-
ing a war on the veterans as to
be- war for the veterans.
Under the methods adopted by
Commissioner LoCHREN for the regula-
sion OF affairs 10 the Pension Bureau the
the generous and wholesale diversion Of
the money Of taxpayers into the pockets
Of undeservlng pensioners has, as the
Philadelphia Record says, ceased for
time TO be one Of the functions Of the
Bureau. The sluice gates Of indiscrim-
mate wastefulness have been closed, and
the leaks are TO be sought out and
stopped up.
Especially is the drainage due 70 the
Disability act Of June, 1890, to ee in
ouired into. it being held by Commits
sloneF- LocHREN that none but those
who are disabled and
unable to labor for their OWE support
should be eligible to receive pensions
under this act. In thus correcting the
pension list 10 is Of little public impor-
lance whether the unworthy pension
ers disclosed be many or few.
The main thing is to demonstrate con-
clusively that the era Of pension ex-
travagance is at an end The roll Of
pensioners should be made roll Of
honor, instead of-as at present-the
stock in trade Of greedy pension sharks I
and the eats-paw Of professional poll I
tieiens Of the baser sort.
