ONE OF the weakest points about
these great international expositions
appears to be the fact that after
they are over the vast and costly and
often highly artistic buildings ere gen
orally torn down and sold for old junk.
In the case of the enormous machinery
hall at Chicago, it is said that the
contractor gets it for nothing, on con-
dition that he will remove the material.
This appears to be a great waste OF
money and labor. Why could not such
buildings be constructed with the view
to utilizing them permanently? The
great glass house which harbored the
first of these Worlds fairs in London,
in 1851, was removed to Sydenham, a
few miles from London. Around it a
beautiful park was constructed, and for
forty years the Crystal palace has been
the favorite holiday resort Of Londoners.
1t seems, at least, as II some OF the
beautiful buildings OF the White City
might be retained and made to serve
some useful purpose.-Los Angeles

The official texts of the treaties be

The official texts of the treaties be-
tween the Argentine republic and
France, and between France and the
republic of Uruguay have just been
made public says the American Mail.
How aggressively the nations of Europe
are pursuing those commercial paths
which are opening up in South and
Central America is evidenced by the
fact that no opportunity is lost by them
to ATTAIN the benefit OF what is known as
the s'most favored nation" clause in any
arrangements made by them Tor secur-
ring trade. This is perfectly natural.
The Frsnco-Argentine treaty, even
though it has substantially only one
provision, is interesting, in that it ex-
preesly declares that no favor or i'm
munity of any kind shall ever be granted
by either nation to the flag the COM
merce of another nation unless the same
favor or immunity is per Sc and ipso
facto granted to the flag or commerce
OF the two contracting nations. The
Franco Urguayan treaty differs little
from that just mentioned in that Uru-
quay reserves the right to grant for her
own benefit whenever she deems it adj
vissble to either Of her neighbors,
Brazil, the Argentine republic or
Paraguay, special commercial favors
and advantages without thereby en-
fitting France to claim the same privi-
lege.

THE VOORHEES, BILL.

The Wilson repeal bill will undoubt-
eddy be pigeon-holed by the senate and
the voorhees, bill, which originated in
the senate, substituted. There is but
little difference in the character OF the
two bills and the adoption Of either leads
to the same end, namely, the repeal of
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act. The voorhees, bill reads as follows:
That 80 much of The act, approved
July Ia, 1890, entitled "An act directing
the purchase OF silver bullion and issue
of treasury notes thereon, and for other
purposes" as directs the secretary Of
the treasury to purchase, from time to
time, silver bullion to the aggregate Of
100000 ounces, or so much thereof as
may be offered, in each month, at the
market price thereof, not exceeding 81
for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and to
issue in payment for such purchases
treasury notes of the United States, be,
and the came is hereby repealed. And
it is hereby declared to be the policy Of
the United States to continue the use
OF both gold and silver as standard
money, and to coin both gold and silver
into money OF equal intrinsic and ex-
changeable value, such equality to be
secured through international agree
ment, or by such safeguards Of legisla-
tion as will insure the main tenance Of
the parity Of the value of the coin Of
the two metals, and the equal power Of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debts. And it is
hereby further declared that the efforts
OF the government should be steadily
directed to the establishment of sucb a
safe system of bimetsllism as will main
tain at all times the equal powe Of
every dollar coined or issued by the
United States in the markets and in the
payment of debts.
In the Voorhees, bill the death knell
to free coinage is hidden under the soft
allurement with respect to the continued
use OF silver and gold as standard
moneys. But, as is we'll known, Voor-
hees ''great speech" on the silver ques-
ton was merely intended to deceive the
silver men and lull them into fancied
security while he dealt free coinage q
fatal blow. His bill is no better than
mis- speech and, once the Sherman bill
out Of the way, if will loom up in its
true colors, but there seems nothing
else to do but to pass it. The senate
may wrangle over it, but the result will
be the same. twill be approved by the
house and signed by the president. The
future can take care of itself.

THE defeat OF the silver measures in
the house, yesterday, proves beyond
persdventurs that no relief is to be ex-
pected from that body. They voted two
to one against the coinage Of silver at
any ratio, and more than two to one for
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act. BY the vote yesterday the con-
gress of the United States does not rep
resent the people Of the United States
but the moneyed interests of Wall
street directly and the Bank OF England
Indirectly. They are not American but
English in their behavior towards an
American product. The American peo-
pie want dollar in silver to be worth
dollar in gold and will not rest till they
have it, That it will not be had during
the present congress is now certain, but
the time will come when they will have
it. Demsgogues cried for change
when the republicans were in power.
The country was prosperous but they
could not enjoy it. They were misera-
BILE themselves and adroltly succeeded
in making others after their own liking,
and the cry for change went round.
The change came, but it was not that
kind of change promised by the demo
cratic party when out Of power. In
stead of wheat being worth dollar
bushel and every mans pockets filed
with nation savers, mills and msnufac-
tories are closed down, and in land
flowing with milk and honey the laborer
is without work and without money to
buy. Better times may not be looked
for il the near future, for with silver
disfranchised and it's value deprecated
relief cannot be afforded. The action
of the senate is uncertain, but the Sher-
man bill will probably receive its quie-
tus in that body also. The people are
powerless and must quietly abide the
issue till next election.

HE POURED ON OIL.
Startling Outcome of Infelicity IN
the Anderson Family.

1t is all right to pour oil on the
troubled waters, but 1t won't do to pour
kerosene on the uphesvina waves of do
mestic affairs. 1t is hard on furniture.
Anyway that is the experience of a rail-
road man named Anderson.
Last night az 10 o'clock the lurid
beams Of good sized bonfire shot their
way heavenward and 10 the vicinity of
the residences rear the round house. 1t
was the oil aforementioned, and with the
flame therefrOm went the furniture of
the Anderson household. Mr.. Ander-
son had brought it about, and with de-
liberation.
He and Mrs. Anderson parted on the
18th OF last month. Since then the man
of that house has lived elsewhere and
the woman has staid homo and taken
care OF things. Last night, however,
she was not there-but Anderson was.
He took chairs, mattresses, tables and
lot of things and made q symmetrical
heap of them in the middle of the
street. Then he poured on the kerosene,
touched the match and up blazed the
pile OF one fam ly altar. The furniture
was badly damaged.
Mrs. Anderson says no legal proceed
ings will be in instituted. She does not
want her name in the courts.

A YOUNG lawyer named Stephenson,
now Q resident of San Bernardino, pos
sesses the high honor of introducing to
Phoenix lard, probably, to Arizona) the
first plug hat ever seen in this commu-

rather dressy fellow and was regarded
with some apprehension on that account.
yet everyone was paralyzed one bright
June Sabbath morning to zee the stu
dent OF Coke issue from his quarters
under the shadow of an immaculate
tall silk tile. The boys in front OF the
saloons fairly gssped. Tom Brown took
the initiative, marching stIffly behind.
About q hundred men joined the pro-
cession, all as solemn as owls. In front
of the Bank Exchange saloon Stephen

leader, you're too far in advance OF the

unfortunate owner could rescue it, the
tall silk tile had been jammed into
shspeless macs beneath hundred boot
heels. Not for years was there another
one in Phoenix.-Gazette.
The first man to wear q plug hat in
Arizona was Marshal Duffield. He came
here In 1863 and donned an elevated
file, but il was neither knocked off nor
shot off. When Dufield put on tile

Hiram Stevens, however, was hardly so
fortunate. On his first return from
congress, about the middle Of the
sixties, he appeared in plug hat on
Congress street, but before he had gone
a block the beauty Of the hat had gone
forever. i was hammered and punched

BUcKEY ONEILL wants to hav the
Worlds fair board, of Arizona, investi-
gated by the grand jury, as he claims
the board has got away with the 10000
and has made no showing. Inasmuch
as there is still good sum in the treas
ury yet uneXpended and more than half
OF the counties have yet uneApended
balances to their credit, O'Neill ought
TO make another break to get enough OF
the sum on hand to carry out his private
canal scheme, under cover or the pre-
historic races.-Star.
We do not claim to know anything
about O'Neill, but we do claim to know
that Arizona ''got it In the neck"
We do not know how it was done and
the public are equally as ignorant, or
whether it was done by one man or by
q half dozen, but we do know and the
whole country knows that the miserable
showing made by Arizona is disgrace
to the territory. Had we made no pre-
tentions the territory would have been
thrice better off. But anxious to avail
themselves of the great opportunity to
make known the vast resources OF the
territory the people, through their legis-
lsture, appropriated $4,000. but as it
was not used for the purpose intended
the question naturally srises, Where did
it 60 to? That portion Of the money
is still in the hands of the commission
ers is no justification. Every cent OF
the $4,000 should have been iudiciously
expended. The appropriation was OF
itself email and if rightly used there
should not be cent on hand when the
affairs of the commissioners have been
closed. and it is highly probable that
there will not be.
