CALIFORNIA EXHIBIT.
All the Mineral Resources of the State to
Be Demonstrated.

All the Mineral Resources of the State to
BE Demonstrated.
All of CALIFORNIA; mineral exhibit
has been collected and will be installed
in the Mines and Mining building by
April 10. Every mining county in the
state will be represented and ore from
all famous California mines will be in
cluded in the exhibit. The gold ores
will be made a special feature, and
the finest possible specimens have been
gathered.
To display to the best advantage the
building materials of California a
classic gateway, to be constructed of
different kinds of stone, has been de-
signed This gateway will be in the
form of a triplicate arch, with wings
on each side of the portico and win
dows. The base of the gateway, five
inches in height, will be of dark
granite. The pedestals of the four
columns. each two feet wide, will be
of light granite, and on them will rest
four beautiful white marble columns
from the Cotton and Inyo quar-
ries- The caps of the columns,
two of the Doric and two of the
Ionic order, will be richly carved,
and a finely nodded enta blature
will rest on them. Behind the columns
forming the pilasters of the arches
California onyx, as beautifully veined
as the state can provide, will be used,
the cornices being of the same mate
rial, and the arches themselves of gray
sandstone. The belt course over the
arches is to be of Cotton mar BILE, and
the panels between the belt course and
the pediment will be variegated
marbles, the space outside the panels
being of white marble.
From the floor to the top of the en-
tablature will be twenty feet and the
extreme length Of the gateway will b,
thirty-s and a half feet. The wings,
twelve and half feet high, CD each
side of the triplicate archway, will be
of blue-green stone, the columns flank
ing the windows are to be of onyx and
the cornice of green marble. In this
way nearly all the best hard and soft
stones which the state affords will b
shown cut, and, when feasible, po.
ished and in actual use as part of this
gateway.
Within the gate and facing the en-
trance there will be two long double
rows of showcases, each case being
eight feet long by two feet wide. In
these will be displayed the finest OBJ
taina able specimens of gold ores, silver
ores, the precious metals, as well as the
economic metals, and even a few
diamonds lust as found in California.

| The Important Commission to Negotiate
With the rive Civilized Tribes of the In
dian Territory.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-One of the
important commissions which President
Cleveland expects to appoint soon has
been authorized by a provision of the
Indian appropriation bill, passed as an
amendment to that measure in the clos
ing hours of congress
1t will consist of three members and
they are expected to negotiate with the
five civilized tribes of the Indian terri
tory for the extinguishment of the ma
tional or tribal title to lands in that
territory. Under the existing condi-
ions the five tribes constitute the In
dian territory, but they do not even
enjoy territorial form of government
Each tribe or nation holds its lands
in common, has its own president or
chief and its own legislature and local
courts The United States court has
jurisdiction to a limited extent, and
aside from judge, marshal and attorney
no other United States officials exercise
authority within the territory.
1t is proposed to so readjust condi-
tions by extinguishing the tribal title.

McAllister, of New York.
The feature of the fair that will most
likely prove of greatest interest to the
visiting farmers will be the live
stock display and PAVILION. Ann
pie preparations are being made
for an extensive and complete
exhibit of cattle of all kinds,
and the facilities for viewing the same
will be unsurpassed by any in the his
tory of live stock exhibitions. An am
phitheater of vast dimensions has been
erected in the southern portion of the
grounds, close to the Agricultural
building, wherein are seating accom-
modations for several thousand people.
The ring in the center is two or three
hundred feet in length and half as wide,
and provided with all the necessaries for
the display of choice stock. In all prob
ability there will be seen within this
ring some of the finest horses, cows and
other farm stock ever raised in the
United States, or in the entire world,

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Facts Revealed by the Displacement OF
the Republican Administration.

Facts Revealed by the Displacement of
the Republican Administration.
The administration which sought to
escape censure by concealing the truth
from the people has gone. The admin
istration has come which proposes to
deal with the people in entire candor
and raightforwardness. Its first duty
to the country, to the party and to
itself is to make public at the earliest
moment truthful statement of the
condition of the treasury. Upon that
condition at the present juncture al
most every thing depends, the need of
an eXtraordin airy session of congress,
the opportunity for a reduction Of tariff
taxation, the several currency ques-
tions, the necessity for new draft
upon the national credit. Before this
question the matter of appointments
to office drops relatively into insignif-
canoe. The former is imperative; the
latter can wait. The business of the
country is concerned in an exact knowi-
edge of the treasury situation and OF
the steps taken to meet it; the prefer
ences Of localities as to persons ere
concerned in the appointments. The
administration must and will meet the
greater and more pressing problem
first.
The dispatch of Col. A. K. Mcclure
ably anticipates in general way the
specific statement which Secretary Car
Isle must soon issue to the country. 1t
points to deficit in the treasury, so
considerable that on the last full day
Of his term Secretary Foster refused
to meet an obligation of 81, 600, 600
because there was no money on
hand to pay it. 1t asserts that the
gold reserve of 500, 600, 900 has been
invaded and is now short by seven or
eight millions of dollars. and thus ex-
plains why the last debt statement by
Mr.. Foster on the first of the month
lacked the usual announcement OF the
free gold on hand in the treasury. The
only pretext offered by the Harrison
administration for its policy Of evasion
and concealment has been that the full
truth would complicate the situation
and render Acknowledgements more ditii-
cult. Were the United States an in
dividual, the excuse might hold good;
but we are bound to assume that the
national credit will be respected and
that it can be impaired in no other
/ way SO insidiously and effectively as
by a suppression of the facts To state
plainly an evil is to take the first step
| toward its correction, and retrench-
| ment, whenever possible, will enlist
popular approval just as soon as the
| need of it to meet a present exigency
| is clearly set forth.
| 1t is very evident that one of the
earliest acts of the administration
must be the issue of bonds. The last
administration, under an equally press
| ing necessity, chose to neglect this
duty rather than face the censure

ment, or worse, would evoke The

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Democratic Intentions Regarding the !
High Tax Robbery.

Democratic Intentions Regarding fha
High Tax Robbery
The idea seems to be gaining ground
in certain quarters that owing to the
enormous expense of pensions 1t will
be impossible for the democrats to re-
duce the tariff, and that they are now
on the eve of abandoning the attempt,
to engage in a free fight over the coin
age question
We know OF no good ground for such
an opinion The democrats will GER
tainly put through their tariff reform
bill before they take up any issue on
which a party division is possible.
Any other course would be SO foolish
that the party adopting it would invite
defeat. The democrats will not do it
They are as determined now as they
were last year that the duties of the
Mckinley bill shall be lowered to a
strictly revenue basis. This means, of
course, that they are determined to
make a tariff that will give the largest
possible revenue by encouraging the
largest possible trade
1t is true that the expense of PEN
sions is now enormous, but the means
of raising the money to meet this eX-
pense involves a question that can best
be settled without regard to the Ques-
ton of reducing tariff duties
If it is found that more money must
be raised to meet the increasing ex-
pense of pensions there will be two
perfectly practicable methods of rails
ing it-by increasing the whisky tax
or imposing a tax on incomes. It may
be that one or both of these taxes will
become necessary, but it is hoped that
it will be possible to check the ex-
penditure for pensions before it gets
much beyond the present unparalleled
figures.
The income tax is a less evil than the
prohibitive tariff tax. and if 1T should
become necessary to levy it to pay pen
sions the democratic party would not
hesitate to advocate the levy.
There has not been the least change
in democratic intentions. The McKin-
ley tariff will be reduced until there is
not a prohibitiye tax left in it.-St
Louis Republic.

leading representatives of all the big
college fraternities are taking much
interest in this feature of the exrosi-
ton.
Among the later building enter
prises at the fair is that of the chill
dren's building, under the charge of
the board of women managers. The
contract for the building has been
closed and this interesting feature of
the exposition is an established GER
tainty.
This work is the especial pride and
joy of the women managers and is very
dear to the hearts of the ladies who
have charge of the details 1t is, so to
speak, the youngest child of the expo
sition enterprise, and its success is the
more creditab1e to the women who are
working for it from the fact that no
appropriation was made for it and it
has been necessary to raise the funds by
subscription and other devices to which
women on philanthropic projects bent
have recourse in time of emergency.
It was estimated in the beginning that
IL would take about twenty thousand
dollars to put up the building. and this
sum was allotted to the different states
and territories in proportion to the
white popu:ation. In many cases the
call was enthusiastically responded to
and the amount was raised without
difficulty. In some instances more
money was given than was asked for,
Montana furnishing a notable instance
of sympathy for the work by doubling
her quota, which was originally two
hundred dollars

by an interesting exhibit of children's
clothing, cradles and other furniture
from all parts of the world. The Jap
anese commissioner was the first to
propose donation of such an exhibit
from his own country, which the ladies
in charge accepted with grateful alac-
rity, and Immediately issued circular
to other nations, hoping to secure the
same courtesy from them. There have
been number of gratifying responses
to this call, among others that of
France, which has asked for eight
hundred square feet in which to make
a display of dolls, mechanical toys,
games and all things pertaining to the
amusement of children. Guatemala and
Paraguay have also responded favor

present state of completion the work
has been watched with the deepest in
terest. In fact, to one with any taste
for such things the work of con-
structing the great buildings has been
fully as instructive and entertaining as
will be the whole fair when completed.
Such marvels of architecture and such
triumphs of genius surely were never
before witnessed in this country.
But now that the buildings are so
nearly finished the main interest CEN
ters in the constantly arriving exhib-
its and the statues and monuments
that are being erected about the
grounds. Prominent among the latter
is the gigantic statue of the republic,
contributed by France, standing in the
grand basin at the entrance from the
lake. and before the Administration
building. This figure, which is six
ty feet high and weighs thirty tons,
is having the finishing touches put on
it by a dozen artisans, who expect to
finish their work and remove the pine
covering of the heroic statue in about
q month, or in the early part of April.
When completed it will be the grandest
and most striking figure in the grounds,
and will be on a scale surpassed only
by the Bartholdy statue of Liberty in
New York harbor.
Another magnificent piece of work
manship will be the choragic monu-
ment of Lysicrates, which will be
erected by the Greek letter societies in
the educational section of the fair. close
TO the college exhibits. This monument
is said to be the most famous piece of
Greek Corinthian architecture in
existence, and it will be restored in
every detail in the Greek exhibit. The
monument is forty feet in height and
is surrounded by gilt-ornamented
