A PERMANENT EXHIBIT.

So much has been written of the
Worlds Fair in attempts to describe
its magnitude, interest, wonders and
beauty that it is very foreign to our
purpose to think of embarking on such
a sea OF thought at this time. If you
should wish to read more on the sub
ject than you have done, get the last
number of the Cosmopolitan" maya
zine which is devoted almost entirely
to the Fair. That magazine, usually
so well illustrated, this month in
its views of the Fair sur
passes all previous efforts. 1t is
not of this, however, it is now the in
tention to speak, but to second the
plan suggested by The Cosmopolitan,
that as many of the buildings and
exhibits of the exposition be- kept
intact as permanent source of edu-
cation. The Fair as it now stands is a
representation of the browning genius
of the Nineteenth century. Can
Chicago afford to letit, after Nov. l,
dissolve away into nothingness, it's
grandeur remaining only as a dream?
For hundred years the United States
government has been building up at
Washington the smithsonian Insti-
tute with museum and ,agri-
cultural building annex. The work
there accomplished in so long a
time has been far ecIipsed at
Chicago in couple of years. Should
not the great West have fountain of
education and interest equaling
if not surprising that of the
East? The city of Chicago and those
private parties there who put their
millions in the Fair cannot hope to get
them all back. The Fair will prove
financial success, but in the nature of
things, because of the shortness of
time, cannot pay. back to the stock
holders dollar for dollar. The United
States does not demand back its money
and that much would be clear gain
for those who would cooperate to con-
tinue and make permanent the exhi-

dies which worked behind ia much the
way an ordinary spade is worked in
the hands of the man. Thus as the
engine slowly crawled across the field
a space of eight or 10 feet wide was
spaded and turned to depth of eight
or more inches-the soil being far bet
ter pulverized and fitted for seed than
can be done by a pillow. In England
these diggers are in quite general use
and are said to give yerv
general satisfaction. The steam
pillow has not given satisfaction. Its
work is coarse and uneven, and while
it may answer in large grain fields

RELIGIOUS CONGRESSES.

The religious congresses of the
world have been appropriately opened
by the professors of the oldest religion
of the world, the children of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob. The fact that
the religions of the world have Sc
lected the Columbian Exposition, on
the free soil of America and under
the protection of the stars and stripes,
to hold congress of every religion,
loudly proolaims one truth. and that
is that here, in this republic, where
every man and woman has the right
to express and teach any and all
opinions-any and all religious doc
trines without molestation, the pre-
vailing religion of the country, that
of the meek and lowly Nazarene, has,
by it's purity and tolerance,
assured this independence of thought
and action. 1t is only when this re.
ligion prevails and moulds the reli-
gious sentiment of the masses of the
people that such tolerance exists and
such religious freedom is enjoyed.
Mohamedism depends upon the sword
which, with sharp and glittering
blade, guards the approach to its
mosques and temples. The religion
of Christ to this time has existed in its
purity and tolerance in republic Or a
limited monarchy. Its natural home
is in a republic, where every man can
worship according to the dictates Of
his conscience under his own vine and
fig tree; its sway is always potential

comes with its own secret and mystic
rious power, alike possessing

and unlearned, for wayfaring man
though a fool is open to its sublime
truths, it does not parade in glittering
formalities herslded by brazen trum-
pet, but it does come with simple
truth and moral healing upon its
white wings. Here in this republic it
not only enjoys lis largest freedom,
but it assures freedom to all shades
of religious opinions. Nay mere, it pro-
tects its bitterest enemies and here in
this country under its mild sway it is
meet and proper that all the religions
of the world should hold religious con-
crosses where it is an antidote to

AUSTIN is standing with both feet
On the national Democratic platform
the platform of tariff reform, bimetal-
lism and Cleveland Democracy.

On other issues touched upon in his
speech Monday, Senator Cullom may
have spoken as Repu blican, but on
the silver question his words had the
ring of true patriotism. The debate
in congress over silver has simmered
down into simply th1eshiDg over of
old straw. All the wheat, the meat
of the subject, has long since been ex-
tracted. 1t sometimes seems pity
that the term of Office was not so de-
cided that consecutive collection
would be forbidden. If this had been
the case, how the silver debate would
have been shortened and the country
would now be enjoying fully restored
good times.

Cost of Raising Cotton,

Agricultural Editor of The Statesman:
According to promise, have calcu-
lated the cost of cultivating one acre
of cotton, and without going intode-
tails figure that the labor is worth
$3.50 w. s. FORD.
Captain Ford is one of the most
thorough farmers in the county
and makes crop if anybody
raises one. He does not in his estima-
ton include rent of land and that is
worth 81 90 an acre. On basis of one
half bale to, the acre, Mr. Ford's cotton
will cost him 8 1-2 cents per pound.
He can do better than that, but he is
possibly figuring on one.third of bale
which is about the average of this sec
ton this year. ED.
