NO MORE SUNDAY FAIR.

The board OF directors Of the Column
bian Exposition at Chicago have finally
decided, by an overwhelming majority,
that after to-day there VIII be no more
Sunday openings. The receipts OF to-
day are 10 be given to the sufferers by
thu recent great ard disastrous fire at
the cold storage house
The reason which induced this action
IS a very interesting one a great hub
bub was raised about Sunday openings
of the Exposition when IL was inaugu-
rated. Then the disposition of the man
sgement was to close, but so great was
the pressure brought to bear on them
about the Exposition being grand
oiyilizer ard educator, Of which certain
tlesses could only get the benefit on Sun
days; also that II the Fair was closed
on Sundays large numbers Of people who
otherwise would spend their time on
that day on the grounds and In the build
ings, would pass the time away at the
grog-shops. SO. despite the opposition
were thrown open on Sundays.
The failure Of the experiment is due
TO the fact that the great heart or the
American people have respect for Sum
day. Even those who lay no claim to
religion, have a better feeling. II they
ob:erve the day, and everybody has felt
that Sunday opening was wrong. The
workngman, whose cause was SO ably
pleaded as an argument for such opening,
did not care TO spend his Sundays that
way. while even the class who are in
the habit OF living IN bar-rooms and dives
on Sunday, preferred their habitual
drunkenness to seeing an exhibit which
they were perfectly willing to see any
other day In the week.
The opponents OF Sunday opening will
now have their wishes granted. because
their side was the side OF the great
American masses and the friend OF
opening must henceforth keep quiet. and
acknowledge himself TO be in a decided
minority. Thus one great subject or
bitter contention at one time has been
settled. and the public may reasonably
expect 10 hear no more of IT. The Fair.
however. will prosper much better than
IL the gates remained as wide open on
Sunday as has heretofore been the Gus
tom.

MORE DISPATCH ERRORS.

State banks, says Mr.. Chandler, though
wisely and honestly managed. are ex-
posed 30 two perils In times Of pa1ic.
First. the note-hoder will hasten TO the
bank 20 redeem his note In coin. Second.
the depositor will withdraw his deposit.
The States have no power to inspire credit
In State-bank notes, and no power 10
make them a legal tender for debts, and
therefore have no power 10 insure their
solvency.-Dispatch Of yesterday.
How will II hurt US In Virginia II the

OF course as long as the Dispatch's
mind is occupied with the Socialists

is useless to argue with IL that no gov

sions with II.

ductive In a slight degree or not at all.
The lavish spending caused a great rise

petition for business. Fourth, the fall

staples OF export Fifth. the low mar

ple-viz.: Wool. Sixth. general overtrad-
ing. Seventh, the crushing weight of pub
lie and private Indebtedness.
We may fairly draw two important
truths from these experiences OF our
antipodean friends
First There was plenty OF money for
investment, even In Australia, by people
who believed that they would be paid
back In gold, and the same may be said
of the Argentine Republic. That is, that
the investor was not so careful to inves-
tlgate the foundation Of his investment
as ne was the character of the money
In which ne was to be paid. If our
monetary system should be definitely set
tied on an absolute gold basis there Is no
country on earth that can offer such
Inducements to the foreign investor as
these United States. but when the In
weston is met at he door with Juggling
doiiar-a thimbIe-rigging business, "now
YOU see II and now you don't-he will
not consider our offers ut all.
Another consideration pressed upon us
by these Australian and Argentinnn dis
asters Is the difficulty OF finding protita-
BILE employment for all the money that is
seeking investment II we had our none
tary system satisfactorily settled and an
abundance OF capital was Offering we
should be tempted TO take risks which

The following is an editorial from the
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph OF Fri
day. 1t Is almost a reproduction OF our
own article Of yesterday. and was no
doubt written at the very hour we were
writing our article:
Statistical reports show that the ex-
port Of brc8dstuffs for the fiscal year
ending June Goth, which nearly CORE
spends with the crop year. amounted 10
SlSs, 961, 922 as against sZSS, a25 900 for the
previous year. This shows a. loss Of $780,
100000 In our exports OF breadstuffs In
one year-a loss which is the main fac
tor of the ''hard times" the country has
been enduring the past six months, and
must continue 20 endure for some months
20 come. The cruel and intolerable fea-
ture of the business is that we held the
breadstuffs TO sell and our customers
wanted to buy. but the grain-gambling
fraternity of the Chicago wheat-pit In
terfered and broke up the trade. As a
consequence OF their brigand raids, the
consumers of breadstuffs were driven to
get their supplies elsewhere or 10 go
without. and our people were left with
hundred million bushels Of surplus
wheat 10 carry over 10 another year. The
Chicago gamblers blockaded the trade
end stopped wheat from going abroad
when 1t was wanted at n fair price, and,
as a consequence. II was afterwards i'm
possible to get rid of last years stock
even at the lowest prices that ever were
put on record. So much this country
owes 10 the shameless and outrageous
operations Of the Chicago pit.
