there is no gaiussying the fact the
Empire states own building is a corker.
Next to the Illinois building, which OF
course is the largest and most costly,
it easily leads Pennsylvania has a
beautiful house aud approaches near

most creditable, but in state buildings
New York excels, no matter how far
behind she may be in other directions.
An exhibit of considerable interest to
farmers is found in the nursery patch
near the entrance to Midway Plaisance,
showing the contrast between ancient
and modern country fences. Three

concealed by amagniticent aggregation
of weeds, show up strangely with
length of %oven wire supported by
strong though slender posts. Cookie
burrs flourish beautifully around the
warped and twisted rails, while the
grass about the wire netting is smooth
and clean as lawn. The latter is
some what too gay for the real thing,
the farmer may say, but it makes
good showing,
They have new-fangled double
wheel chair now in use, and the an1-
ious bride and groom can sit closer 10
each other as they are pushed about the
grounds. 1t is just like the other
chairs only it is double width, and is
satisfactory in every way to everybody
except the young fellow who has to
push it. He says spoony pair Is sure
to tilt an open umbrella over their
shoulders and completely shut him out
from the enjoyment of their bliss.
More than ever, since the no; days
of midsummer have brought heat in
almost sitting waves, the sun looking
pitilessly down meanwhile through a
quivering, cloudess sky, has it been
evident that great mistake was made
in painting everything white. A slate
gray would have caused great deal
less discomfort, and would have
brought out beauties in architecture
now unseen. As it is, the effect can
easily be magined-buildings road
ways, everything white and glazing.
Colored glasses are absolutely q
necessity, as the tourist will realize if
he tries to see the fair without them.
Over in Midway Plaissnce these
days things go by contraries. The
Dahomeyans, Javanese, South Sea
Islanders, and others, who are accus-
toned to seeing the sun hang in the
sky like "a brazen ball, are happy as
clans, while The Laplapders an6
Esquimaux loll with their tongues ou
like so many roasting sheep. The
heat has killed the last dog in the Lap
landers' camp, and caused the Egyp
tian dancing girls to omit some of thei
wriggles.
These dancing girls, by the by, ar
q not just the personages one would car
to show to his female friends. The

which would go nowhere in Americ

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence of THE RECORD.

Correspondence OF i HE hkCOhD.
WAsHINGToN, July l9, 1898.
Indications increase as the time for the
meeting of the extra session draws nearer
that there will be just as bitter fight
among the Democrats over the tariff as
there will be over silver, and whether
correctly or not, Mr., Cleveland is now
classed among those Democrats who will
favor a revision of the tariff on protection
lines. The attempt on the part Of the
administration to center public attention
on the silver question was the deliberate
and intentional result of the conviction
that it would be suicidal both for the
Democratic party aud for the country for
the Democratic Congress to keep the
pledges made by the Chicago platform
in the construction of tariff bill, and
that it was necessary to withdraw public
attention from the tariff in order to pre-.
vent the change of attitude being SO
noticeable. The free trade wing of the
Democratic. party in Congress, mostly
from the south aud west, are just be.
ginning to catch the drift of this move
ment and they say they will demand
that Congress carry out the party plat.

as represents protection to home indus.
tries, and open our markets to the manu-.
features Of the world.
1t seems more probable now than any
time since the election that the Republi.
cans in Congress may, by acting with that
wing of the Democratic, party which
vote for moderate protection, be able
to prevent the utter destruction of many
American industries that cannot possibly
exist without some protection. But even
with the hardest work on the part of the
Republicans, it is probable that the re-
auctions made in the present duties will
be large enough to cause general re-
duction inwages throughout the Bnited
States, IN order to allow our goods 20
compete with the products Of European
labor, but a reduction in wages, bad as
it is, is preferable to the entire loss Of
employment that would necessarily
follow triumph Of the free trade wing Of
the Democratic party.
