THE FINANCES OF THE GREAT FAIR.

Nearly everybody is interested in
knowing all about the financial part Of
the great and glorious show on Lake
Michigan whose beauties have vanished
forever. There were the gate receipts
and concessi ons and other sources of IN
come, and the magnificent expenditures
on the other side. 1t has all been
summed up and the exact figures have
been made public.
The s., 0O0,0 600 debenture bonds issued
and sold by The exhibition corporation,
all of which have been redeemed, the re-
ceipts from all sources have amounted to
S2S 026, 967. OF this amount the sum of
So, 512, 912 was received from stock sub
scriptions: and s., COS. ,26 represents the
amount realized from the bonds issued
by the city of Chicago. The total gate
receipts were Sl0.5.6, 20S: the amount
received from concessionaires was So
800 COB: interest and other miscela-
neous sources of revenue footed up

the sale of souvenir coins was

yield S2i4,S72. The total cost OF the ex-
position in laying ont the grounds, erect
ing the buildings and for running ex-
penses reached the magnificent total of
S26, 556, 009. The available balance.
therefore, amounts 10 S2,369. 9JS. The
amount still due from concessionaires is
about 5000, 600, most of which is regarded
as collectlble. There will, consequently,
be 2 substantial dividend for distribution
among the stockholders
The instructive feature Of the finan-
cial results of the exposition, and one
prises of similar character, is the
enormous amount of money realized
from the sale OF privileges to the con-
cesSiouaires. The receipts from this
source will BE- nearly four times the
amount that had been estimated. This
result has been ascribed 10 the system

The result of the recent election shows

winter. 1t shows that large per cent
of the Populist voters are tired of being
humbugged and broke faith with their
party, and on last Tuesday they made
out their ballots in keeping with their
conscience and better judgment: Take
the election in Westport, where we wiped
out their standing majority of thirty
votes, which l claim we could not have
done had it not been that number of

there were scores like him all over this

ON A MIDNIGHT TRAIN.


The Girewsome sounds which Startled the

was one of carful of belated travel
ers. They were on their way home,

1t was but natural that some of nv
fellow-travelers should fall asleep. And
they did. From first one end of the ear
and then the other there came peculiar
sounds that told me many were asleep,
perchance to dream. The sounds va
ried.
There was one man who had coiled
himself up on seat. He gave at first
rate imitation of man snoring when
he drew his breath, bnt as his lungs
emptied he finished up with a toy pts toll

There was one strapping fellow who
originally sat in a seat about a third
OF the length of the ear from the fur
ther door As the train progressed he
gradually changed to lying-down
posture until his head rested OF the
iron arm.
He was uneuestionably fatigued: as
I've frequently heard il termed dead
tired" He was snorer, too; one of
those snorers who make one wonder
whether or not life is worth living

across the aisle. The farmer pulled his
chin whiskers and stopped reading the

all was quiet. The sleeper snored.
Those that didn't get sleep before had
no chance now to slumber. Il il was
possible the snores of the snorer of

INTERNAL VACCINATIONS.

For raising the necessary revenue for
the supper: Of the government there is a
signal difference between the principles
advocated by the Republican party and
the methods and policy Of the Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic party is
urging the necessity of an income tax
and the advisa bilItv of an internal reve-
me stamp-tax to be levied on home pro-
dUctions, additional TO existing ones,
for an internal tax. The Republican
theory is for the protection of home in
dustries TO tie extent of compelling all
foreigners desiring to sell their produc-
tons in this country to pay for the privi-
lege, 10 pay the difference between the
low wages of Europe and the
wages paid in this country, which
has the two-fold effect Of protecting
American labor and of curtailing, very
largely, the amount of cheap labor
goods thrown on to the American
markets, in addition furnishing the
necessary revenue to meet the expenses
of our government, or an external tax.
Again upon the otherhand an income
tax and an internal tax not only does
not keep out foreign goods, and does not
protect American products. but directly
adds an additional burthen to the
shoulders of labor. The Democratic
policy is favorable to the capitalist and
the corporate trusts; the Republican
principle would in protecting American
productions add to the earnings of the
home-laborer. The Democratic party,
in short. is for internal or home burthen,
while the Republican party favors an
external or foreign burthen.
