CHICAGO, May 1.-Half in cloudland

GERMANY IN LINE.
The Empires Exhibit inaugural
ed When the Golden Key
Was Pressed.
President Cleveland Led Around
the Exhibit in Manufact-
ures Hall.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The participation
of the German empire in the inauguara-
ton of the big fair was an elaborate
affair, which must be accredited to that
country and to its representatives.
The opening Of the Worlds Columbian
exposition was celebrated by PriVy
Councillor Wermuth, the imperial Ger
man commissioner, and his staff i'll
grand style, worthy of the occasion of
the memorable day. and in manner
thoroughly beftting that potent state
which he has the honor to serve and
represent-in fact, it was gala day for
Germany at jackson park. At the mo-
ment President Cleveland pushed the
button that set the machinery in mo-
ton, the chimes in the chapel of Ger
many's representative building OH the
border of the lake were brought into
action, their beautiful and melodious
lujah," in honor of the event. On the
platform amid the dgnitaries of
I the fair, Commissioner Wermuth
aud his staff, the whole body com
prising forty-four members, attracted
no little attention. Herr Wermuth, in
his gala uniform as privy councillor Of
the German ministry of the interior,
and Assistant Commissioner Herr Franz
Berg, III cavalry uniform of the Prus-
sian landWehr, were in sharp contrast
with the other members of the commits
sion in civic dress; distinguished body
OF meu were the enlightened German
professors who constitute the commits
sion in charge of Germany'S educational
exhibit. These gentlemen were attired
in black robes similar to those worn by
the judges of the United States supreme
court. The official ceremony over, Com
missioner Wermuth led the president of
the United States around the interior
section of the German exhibit in Manu-
factures hall.
hall is by far the most advanced in
comparison to the status of installation
work of other representative nations.
The gorgeous pavilion by Prof. Gabriel
Seidl is a masterpiece of architecture
and artistic decoration, and is undOubt-
edly one of the principal attractions in
the world of sights which will be dis
played to the public to full advantage
in few days. Another prominent
feature of the German exhibit which
attracted the attention of Americas
executive was the Germania group
in bronze, standing on pedestal
one hundred feet high. This magnifi-
cent monument was sent to Chicago by
the German government. and is to
adorn the new parliament building in
Berlin, now III course of erection. Dur
ing the day thousands of visitors in
Spected the interior of the beautiful
building, with its Gothic halls and its
artistic fresco paintings. German mill
tary music was furnished by band of
100 musicians, under the leadership of
Music Director Ruscheweyn, the Or
chestra also giving hearty greeting
to President Cleveland when he arrived
at the German section in the manufact-
ures building. After this they marched
to the German state building i'll a body.

eXerted longer than ours in the field of
mans improvement, while in apprecia-
tive return we exhibit the unparalleled
advancement and wonderful accom-
plishments of young nation, and pre-
sent the triumphs of vigorous, self
reliant and Independent people. We
have built these splendid edifices, but
we have also built the magnificent
fabric of popular government, whose
grand proportions are seen throughout
the world. We have made and
here gathered together objects of
use and beauty, the products
of American skill and invention;
but we have also made men who rule
themselves. 1t is an exalted mission in
which We and our guests from other
laEds are engaged, as we cooperate in
the inauguration of an enterprise de-
voted to human enlightenment. and in
the undertaking we here enter upon we
eXemplify, i'll the noblest sense, the
brotherhood of nations. Let us hold
fast to the meaning that underlieS this
ceremony, and let us not lose the i'm
preSSlveneSs of this moment. AS by a
touch the machinery that gives life to
this vast exposition is now set in mo-
ton; so at the same instant let our
hopes and aspirations awaken forces
which in all time to come shall influ
ence the welfare, the dignity and the
freedom of mankind.
Pressed the Button.
At the conclusion of his address the
president touched the electric button,
and the worlds Columbian exposition
of 1893 was uShered into official exist
ence. The huge fountains three hun
dred feet away from the grand stand
threw volume of water seventy feet
in the air. and the roaring of the en-
gines in Machinery hall, quarter of
mile away, told the multitude that the
electric spark had done its duty. AS
soon as the ceremonies attendant upon
the formal opening of the exposition
were over, President Cleveland, Gov.
Altgeld, Mayor Harrison, tue Duke of
Veragua and other notables were
conducted to the dining hall on
the third floor of the ad-
were entertained at dinner by the
worlds fair officials. When the dinner
was over, the party, with President
Cleveland and Director General Davis
in the lead, was conducted from the ad-
ministration building and was driven
around the grounds. At the manu-
factories building, which was the first
place reached, the presidential party
alighted at the main entrance and
walked from one end of the monstrous
edifce to the other From here they
drove to the north end of the grounds,
among the state buildings and back
along the main drive past the horti-
cultural building to the south end of
the grounds. After having thoroughly
inspected the White City President
Cleveland and his party we're driven to
Grand Crossing, where they took the
train to Washington.

Even Columbia, riding her ship of state

The Belfast Journal Il always Re
publican paper, though Ii Il always In
dependent OF any political bonds. The
Last issue contains an article comment
Ing upon the difficulties between some
Of it, Democratic brethren over the dis
tributiou Of the loayes and fishes. The
article contains considerable sound mat
ter Of general application, which, sorted
out from the matter which has personal
application, l. given below:
The organ business Il played out (;
the day for hide-bOund party papers Is
past. You can no more dictate To peo-
pie what newspaper they shall read than
YOU can regulate their religious pref
erences, or say what physician they
shall employ. III any one wants To sub
scribe for a fifty cent story paper, a
weekly from the office of city daily, or
one stuffed with plate matter and dead
advertising, they will do 80, aud who
shall gainsay themi They certainly have
the right to spend their own money In
their own way. A paper that IL forced
upon people who do not want IL, by
promises of patronage or threats OF its
withdrawal, Il rarely profitable TO the
proprietor or the advertiser. IL gen.
orally lies unread, and probably lies
when Il Il read.
The Journal l. a Republican newspa-
Per, hut Il neither begs nor attempts TO
bulldole patronage on that gronnd.
The aim l. TO make local newspaper
that will be Indispensable To all who
wish To keep informed a. tn the affairs
Of Belfast and Of Waldo County, and To
supply In addition summary OF general
news, and a variety Of Interesting and
instructive matter. In reporting the
news, In chronicling aud aiding new In
dustries, and In recording the achieve
ments Of Maine people at home and
abroad, no political distinctions are
made. A helping hand Il extended to
all who strive Ia promote the moral or
material interests of our people. The
time when Democrat could not obtain
recognition In Republican paper for
services disconnected with politics, aud
vice versa, has gone by; but select few
are not disabusel Of the idea that a
newspaper has no higher sphere than
that Of a personal organ or party hack.
The Republican party Il the party OF
progress, aud the true Republican news
paper l. imbued with that spirit.

The young ladies In the fan drill were
dressed In pink and blue aud carried
large pink fans. This drill was very
line. and much credit Il due Misses Mer-
rimsn aud Adams for the effort made to
make this one part success.
In the standing high jump Archer
Grover cleared the string at 4 feet,
inches. aud was closely followed by the
Others. Allen Wiley and kimball
cleared feet on run.
In the balancing act many articles
were used such as feather, bottle,
blocks, lamp, chairs, broom and lad
der.
The fests on the horizontal bar by Mr..
Merriman were very difficult. The fiy-
away, and several swings and drop were
loudly applauded.
zoe OF the interesting Icatures vi the
evening was the ladies' drill. Their
uniforms were black skirts, ties and
white blouses. Each motion was very
pretty and In time to the music.
The fencing and boxing was novel and
never seen before In any exhibition
given la our village.
The gentlemen's drill was equally as
good In many points as the ladies'. In
this drill each wore white sweaters,
black sashes and tights.
Every one was now looking forward
10 the pyramids, for nothing Of the kind
vas ever given here before. These con-
sisted Of twelve changes; each change
was made rapidly and every man knew
his place, 80 there were no long waits.

drills we're Rev. Mr.. Jordan, Mr.. Park
and Miss Alfaretta Farwell, but az Mr..
Park was unable To serve, Mr.. Frank III.

sided at the plano for the dumbbell
drills, and Miss Abble Adams for the

We have all along been given to un-
derstand that the managers OF the
worlds fair were almost unanimously In
favor of having the fair open on sunday
and that they were going To have IL
open on Sunday anyway. IL Il therefore
a little surprising to read In recent
dispatch that at meeting OF the nation
al commission resolution In favor OF
sunday opening was referred to the
Judiciary committee, aud that "The
members of this committee are opposed
tn Sunday opening, aud this, IL Il
thought, ends the natter" That mat
ter 80 much discussed aud 80 persist
emily urged as this has been, should
thus be finally disposed of by refer
ence to committee, IL surprising. Per-
haps there wasn't such an oyerwhelm-
Ing sentiment Ia it, favor "a people have
been led to suppose.
