Director General Davis then delivered
a short and appropriate address.
Then President Cleveland delivered a
brief address and pressed the button,
and the ponderous machinery of the
greatest exposition ever Iseen was

When the president touched the but

Jimmie Hunt, an old sailor, had his eye
ON the president and his hand on the
halyard of the center flagstaff in front

when the executive finger touched the

quick pull. Then the cold flag burst
out at the top of the polei ana the stars

The flags ON the other btildingS were
unfurled simultaneously. About 700
men were necessary to carry out the de-

There was a man for each flagstaff on
the main buildings and grounds.
AT the close of the ceremonies a
lunchen to the president took place,
after which the president was escorted
to the manufacturers building by

Mr. Inrnlls as q Pronhet,


Now, that ex-senator Ingalls, is a
statesman out ofaj job, he feels that
he can afford to be very frank and
candid.
The Kansas orator in recent
letter says that slavery and secess;
ion are dead dogmas. Henceforth
the negro will not hold the balance
of power. There is a growing hos
tility to war issues and even the
race problem is practically extinct.
The negro must take his chances
with the rest. There will be no
more force bills and no more civil
rights legislation.
Mr.. ingalls, goes on to say that
the African can no longer be a
political factor, and with four years
of Democratic rule, Anglo Saxon
supremacy will never again be dis
turbed. Heintimates that the sup
preston of the negro vote is all
right, and suggests that under the
same circumstances it would be
suppressed in the north. AS he
puts it:
There will be no more political
campaigns fought in the United
States upon the attitude of the
Democratic party during the war,
nor its relations to slavery and
secession, or reconstruction or the
resumption of specie payments, or
the disputed succession of 1877.
The dead past has buried it's dead.
Social and economic questions are
at the front. The industrial issue
is the Aaron's rod that has swallow
ed all the rest. The masses have
discovered that political equality
does not bring about social fraterni-
ty; that the ballot is not a medicine
to cure all the diseases of the State,
and that the inequalities of fortune
and rank are as great under a re-
public as under an empire. In a
country where liberty is universal,
education provided for all, and
every citizen the equal chance in
the struggle of life. many are called
and few chosen; one eats crumbs
and wears rags, while another is
clad in fine linen and purple and
fares sumptuously every day.
Mr.. Ingalls, is very bright man,
and the wonder is that he did not
see the situation in its true light
when he was statesman with a job.
But disappointment and defeat
sometimes clarity mans ideas and
give him a keener insight into
things. With so many of the old
issues out of the way, what will the
Republicans make their fight on
next time? They will have to adj
vocate a protective tariff. the ma
tional banking system, the demone-
tization of silver and a centralized
government They must stand ON
this platform or disband, and with
such a platform their defeat is a
foregone conclusion.

In many of the counties of this
State politics is warming up pretty
lively over the school election. The
idea that there is no politics in the
election of school boards and coun-
ty superintendent is erroneous. 1t
is a question whether school officers
could not be elected at the same
time county officers and members
of the Legislature are elected with
quite as good results, as to elect
them in off years. Tho good de-
rived from those off-year school
elections hardly pays for the extra
expense of holding them.

He Gives the Bankers Ills Views on the
Financial Situation.
NEW YORK, April 29.-Secretary Car
Isle has had conference with some of
the New York bankers. J. Edward
Simmons, president of the Fourth Ma
ticnal bank, being a member of the
committee assigned to escort the presi-
dent and his cabinet aboard the Dol
phin, was requested to ask the score
tary to meet the bankers at 81 West
Fifty-eighth street. the residence of G..
T. Williams, president of the Chemical
bank and chairman of the clearing
house committee. With a large NUM-
Der of bankers the secretary was closeted
for an hour or more.
1t was ascertained that Secretary Car
Isle himself did the greater part of the
talking. He assured the bankers that
the situation was not stch as yet to
warrant the issue of bonds,Q Nor was
the administration willing to listen to a
proposition for the issue of bonds except
as a lastsresert. There was plenty of
gold in the country. And in stating
this, he is said to have renewed his
gratitude to the bankers of Boston.

Gently como to the relief of the govern
ment.
Furthermore, he limited that if the
New York bankers had exhibited as
much patriotism as their brethren in
other cities, there need have been less
anxiety because of the large amount of
yellow metal which has been going
abroad.
Secretary Carlisle made a vigorous
attack upon the Sherman silver law,
and led some of his listeners to believe
that he regarded it as the root of all
evil.
After the secretary had finished the
bankers assured him that they were
ready to aid the government at any
time
