according to the location of the place. The
service is uniformly la carte, and for 80
cents a reasonable luncheon may be had.
If present signs are really prophetic the
service will be decidedly inferior before
the season is over In addition to the
regular restaurants there are a mum Der of
tea houses and the like where good
many people will take a nibble to tide
them over until the evening dinner hour.
The fair grounds are cOnsidera BILE dis
lance from the heart of Chicago. They
are reached by the railroad on the lake
shore, the cable cars and the recently
finished elevated road. A scent fare
prevails on all but the Lake Shore road.
The grounds will also be reached by boats
running from mid-ChicagO and North
Chicago and landing at the pier within
the ground. Every visitor to the fair
should make point Of approaching the
grounds at least once from the lake in
this way. There is no distinction about
any of the vistas presented to one who en-
ters by the back doors, as it were. To
approach the fair from the lake is to APP
proach it from the point toward which
its ensemble is directed. The fares on
these lake boats will be something like rs
cents for the round trip.
The entrance fee at the fair gate is, as
everybody now knows, so cents. This
covers the whole expense of seeing the fair
in general. 1t admits you to all the big eX
hibition buildings and all except the pri-
vate shows. 1t admits the visitor to the
big side show section in the Midway
plaisance, though not to the indi-
vidual side shows In fact, to the
general visitor the 80 cents "gate
money is the only tax. If you carry a
hand camera of any kind you are stopped
at the gate and sent along to buy tag
permit, which costs you 81 a day. The
moral to the amateur photographer is to
take his camera with him only on very
fine day, and then to ''shoot" from
morning till night. I understand there
are to be facilities for changing
Photographic plates. The Photographic
restrictions have made more trouble at
the fair than any others from which the
fair management undertook to swell their
income. The management was long
since heartily sick of its contract to let

Of opportunities to spend money the
fair will afford many, and Chicago itself
will be temptation tO.the pocket book;
but it may be seen from the suggestions
offered here that it will be possible to go
to the Columbian show without spending
a fortune. MATT LAMAR.

Sanders is a farmer Of wide experience,

"carries" you from one years end to an
other. It's to him you go when you are
in need Of accommodation, therefore
show your favors to him as return
The only way in which acommunity can
thrive is by one dealing with another
and throwing as much trade into the
home town as is possible. And what
is applicable to the farmer bears with
eonal weight upon the merchant. II
he expects his local trade he must re-
cinrocate, and do what buying he can

WASHINGTON CITY NEWS,
Special Correspondence.


WAsmNaToN, July Il, 1893.
Although Secretary Carlisle, who has
lust returned from the worlds fair, re-
fuses to be interviewed upon the some
what remarkable speech delivered at the
New York bankers banquet by Comp
troler of Currency Eckels, or indeed
upon anything else he is so hopping
mad his friends have let the cat out OF
the bag. and it is known that about the
first thing the secretary did after he
got back to his office was to send for Mr.
Eckles and give him the worst ten
minutes he ever had in his
life. Mr.. Carlisle has temper, as is
well known in Washington, and 1t was
reused to the highest pitch by the "taf-
fy" which Mr.. Eckes so ILLEGALLY dis
tributed to the New York bankers, whom
Secretary Carlisle has not forgiven for
refusing to let the treasury have part
of the gold lying idle in their vaults,
unless bonds were given them for it.
Having just returned from Chicago
where he learned of the injury done by
the refusal of the New York banks to
furnish western banks money, even on
the best of security, was not calculated
to make Mr.. Carlisle take more kindly
to the sentiments expressed in Mr., Eek
les speech.
There is a smotherei utorm Of indig-
nation among democratic congressman
from the suth and west on account of
Eckles' speech, and it may burst ont be-
fore, or upon the floor of congress at
any time. One of these men, speaking
to several of his colleagues ana personal
friends, said: "If Mr.. Cleveland knew
in advance of the sentiments contained
in that speech, and approved of them,
it means that he as surrendered, boot,
bag and baggage to Wall street, and
that the people who voted for him under
the impression that he would not be con
trolled by Wall street influences have
been be rayed If he did not know Ct
them lie should lose no time in firing
Eckles for having expressed them, as a
practical and convincing proof to he
people that they are not endorsed by the
administration. No half way business
will do; if Eckles be retained in his pres
ent important position the country will
not be slow in taking it to mean that he
expressed the sentiments of the admin
istration, and then-well just keep your
ear to The ground and YOU will hear
something~
Republicans are disposed to regard
the whole thing as merely the result of
champagne, aud the attentions of & lot
of elderly wealthy men to a young man
who is poor and ambitious Of being
known. Still they recognize the bad
taste Of the man who holds a position

tary OF the treasury, from financial
standpoint, making such a speech under
existing circumstances at hardly

GREAT HELP TO IMPROVE TIMES.

A GREAT HELP TO IMPROVE TIMES.
The greatest help toward the improvement
of the times will be the distribution of S13,-
100000 pension money, which will begin
tomorrow, and scatter that vast sum
throughout the country where it will do alb
solutely the most good.
1t will 60 to every town and city-nearly
to every village and overwhelmingly into
the pockets of the common people, and be
distributed by them to their neighbors, so
| that the currents of trade will be quickened
| everywhere by the addition of considerable
sums of ready money.
The veterans and their widows will pay
it out for food and clothing, house rents,
| medicines and medical services, school books
for their children etc, so that there will be
no branch of trade that will not be benefited
by it.
In no other way could so large sum-or
any sum-be distributed so effectually to the
people of the whole country.
Unlike ether Government payments it
does not go into bank vaults or the safety
deposit boxes of the wealthy, but directly
into the hands Of those who have most need
of money, and who will use it at once for
the benefit of the communities in which
they dwell.
It must be remembered, too, that this is
money drawn from the wealthy in payment
for their luxuries, from the men and women
who wear fine silks and laces and drink
costly wines, from the smokers of imported
cigars, from the drinkers of whisky and
beer, the cigaret fiend, and the makers of
bogus butter.
They have paid this money into the
Treasury to enable American manufacturers
to pay their employees higher wages than
can be gotten abroad, to protect our farmers
from injurious competition with foreign
products to regulate and control the max
ing and consumption of liquors, and to re-
strain the competition of oleomargarine
with legitimate dairy products.
The whole country will be better off next
week in consequence of this payment by the
Nation of the debts due those who saved its
life.

THE WAY TO HELP SILVER.

Again we urge upon the friends of silver
the rehabilitation of the white metal is to
take it themselves, and insist upon its being
ceive money. This will give silver use and
a standard that nothing else can. Of all the
been coined under the Bland and Sherman
laws, only about $60,000,000 are in circula-
ulation. This is wrong in every way, no
matter what one may think Of the wisdom
of those laws If man favors the use Of
silver as money, he should give practical
evidence of the faith that is in him, by re-
quring silver to be paid him for his weeks
work, or the corn, wheat and pork that be
sells. If the millions of silver men in this
country would start into doing this, it would
at once empty the Treasury vaults of their
accummu lation, and make the dollar of
the Daddies" pleasant and valued ac-
quaintance to every man and woman in the
country. It would arrest the depreciation
of silver all over the world by showing that
the Americans have confidence in the product
of their own mines. The vast hoard of silver
in our Treasury is the most injurious factor
in the silver situation, because foreign and
American fnanciers profess great fear as to
what will be done with it, and they all point
to it's lying there in idleness as proof that
even the Americans who profess great affec-
ton for it, will not use it as money. With
| this money in the pockets of our people this
great objection would be at once removed.
Another thing, it would at once diminish
the circulation of National Bank notes, by
so those who are opposed to those institu-
tons would show their opposition in a prac-
! teal and effective way. 1t is singular that
| the advocates of silver have not laid more
stress upon this plain, practical method of
advancing their views They should have
| declared in favor of it at every Convention,
and made it the duty of every friend of the
white metal to demand silver in payment
in every business transaction to which he
was party. b

Besides, it contains the names of 1925
survivors of the Mexican war, and 1892
widows. Among these pames are thousands
at once identified as prominent in the rebel
army. A large proportion of the sur
vivors fought 10 times as long and
hard TO destroy the Government as
they did TO uphold its honor in Mexico, and
thousands of widows lost their husbands On
the field of battle, fighting against the
Government which now pensions them.
Yet there is never suggestion that the
Mexican pension roll be "purged."
