| TOPPING THE FLAG STATES WITH GILT BALLS
genius and greater energy which conceived
| and wrought the outdoor picture. The
general verdict is that the world has not
| only been outdone but that a mark has
| been set which the French, even, and they
| are the world-famouS experts in exposi-
tons, will be long time coming up to.
| AS the weeks wear on and we begin to
receive from the other side of the water
the opinions OF the foreign journalists and
| critics sent here to pass judgment, L pre-
| dict you will see little or no adverse COM
ment on the stage which Chicago has set
| for the international rehearsal. There
| will be nothing but praise, and warm
| praise for that. The criticism, if there be
any, will be upon the exhibits and the
manner in which they are installed. AL
| ready it is obvious even to the most care
| less observer that while Americans have
| the solid merit in their wares, the ingenu-
| ity and adaptability and growth, when it
comes to the matter of arranging them in
| most attractive form they have lessons to
learn from our foreign friends. Though
domestic exhibitors outnumber the foreign
ten to one, in nearly every building the
most attractive and beautiful exhibit, the
one which first catches tire eye and holds
it longest, is made by a foreign govern
ment or firm. The exhibit made by our
own government, though large and inter
q.
artistic compared to that of the French,
the Germans and the English. 1t is of
different character, of course, being con
fined mostly to an illustration of the func-
tions and operations of government, but 1t
might have been arranged with better
finish and effect.
In the matter of promptness, too, the Tor
eigners, with few exceptions, are in the
lead. Very few of the foreign exhibits
need ANYTHING now but few finishing
touches. The exhibits which are in pro-
yokinC confusion, showcases not put up
and boxes not unpacked, are those OF
Americans who have had plenty OF time
but who have been guilty of the national
fault of procrastination. 1t certainly IS
somewhat remarkable that the foreigners
should have come across the sea, into
stranpe land and beaten their American
rivals in auickness of installation. The
American is too fond of letting task go
till it has to be done, and then, by suu-
den display of energy, just get there
Get there he does, as rule, but too many
of the American exhibits are now, though
in the exposition ring, still n trifle dis
figured.
Three our four days will see all the dc
partIuents of this vast and unparalleled
show in complete readiness. Already no
one need complain at the condition of
things. The Columbian exposition is as
..car ready at this stage as the great Paris

snow OF 1889 was, ana nearer finished than
was the Centennial or the French exposi-

fault of the Chicago people that the per-
lection of installation which they hoped
for has not been accomplished. They did
their part of the work, and amid frightful
obstacles. They struggled with a her.
culean task in the face of such difficulties
as adverse weather, winter and summer,
particularly inclement and damaging dur
ing the last two weeks. But their indom-
liable spirit enabled them to have the
buildings ready in ample time for exhib-

the railway facilities ready, the helpers at
hand, but the exhibitors themselves were
slow. You see, the later they came here

Regarding Bank Examiners

Mr.. EckelS. the new cOmptrOl-
Ter of the currency. said to the
St. Louis Republic correspondent
at Washington that he would en-
deavor to bring about a reform
in the matter of national bank
examinations. Each bank examiner
has now too wide a field to cover eff
GENTLY Mr.. Eckels' object Will be to
circumscribe the districts of each eX-
aminer in order that there may be
more prompt examination of banks
This can be partly accomplished by
rearranging the boundaries of the
districts. Its full contamination
will, however, necessitate and in
crease in the number of bank exam
liners. At present there are 43 exam
liners. Each bank throughout the
country is understood to undergo
annually an official inspection.
There are so many banks that it is
not possible for them all to be Wis
tied. 1t is true that each bank has
to submit annually to the comptroI-
Ter the result of five examinations.
As these examinations are made by
the bank officials themselves they
are for apparent reasons inadequate.
BY more prompt examinations Mr..
Eckels thinks that there Will be fewer
national bank failures; certainly
there Will be fewer startling failures
which frequently astonish the coun-
try and which might be anticipated
if competent examiners had made in
vestirations The records of the
comptroller's office for the past year
show that one examiner made during
the preceding II months rs many as
21S bank examinations.
In districts where the banks are
nearly all country banks, examiners
made an average of 125 inspections.
When the work and care necessary
for competent examination of banks
is taken into consideration, the mad
equacy of the present system Is made
glaring. The exact details for the
reform which he contemplates[kve
not been determined upon ~ Mr..
Eckels. Congress will have to aid
him in the matter to n considerable
extent. This it win be called upon
to do by appointing an additional
number of examiners.

cago's Fault-How to See the Exposition.
WORLDS FAIR, May at is the day
after the great Columbian exposition is
supposed to be ready to receive visitors
from all over the world. 1t is and it isn't.
There is not one large building in which
the Installation of exhibits is complete.
Everywhsrs the people in charge are still
putting their wares " order, and many of
them ars Working Of night, after the gates
are closed, With happegs and paint
brushes: The commeht one hears on every
side is that Chicago, and by Chicago we
simply Use convenient term for the
Infringement of the exposition, has done
it's work better than the exhibitors have
done theirs. While the contents of these
huge buildings, the products of the arts
and industries of the whole world, are
worthy and interesting, the greatest fea-
ture of the show, beyond all question, is
the White City. The grounds and build
ings in which the exhibits are displayed
are more impressive and attractive than
the exhibits themselves. The tent beats
the CIRCUS.
But it should not be forgotten that the
grounds and the palaces are themselves
an exhibit. They are intended primarily
to house and accommodate the machinery,
the fabrics, the works of art and the
products of all the world. But incident
ally they are an exhibit of the progress
made in architecture in America, in build
ing operations, in landscape designing and
decoration, in artificial illumination and
IN ornamentation with statuary and fres-
GOES. Yesterday the vast throngs who at
cended the opening ceremonies said the
most fascinating view within the enclosure
was to be had out of doors That is true
today, and will be true all the time.
Therefore it is that most of the people who
are here today wander around the grounds,
looking up at the facades and towers and
giant roofs of the buildings; they watch
gondoliers and launches on the lagoons, or
spend hours and hours noting the various
styles and arts of architecture in the inn
mense number of foreign and state build
ings. Nothing seems to fascinate them
more than the works OF art with which the
grounds and exteriors of the buildings are
enriched. The golden Republic, the beau
tiful Barge of State, the statue of Frank
lin, the spirited Quadriga, and hundreds,
almost thousands more of products of
artist studios, engross the attention of a
large proportion of today's visitors.
Those who do go within the buildings
to look at the wonders there displayed do
not stay long. They are not disappointed
in what they find-tbough of course the
incomplete state of many exhibits is an
noying-but fabrics, pictures, machinery,
pottery, even the most wonderful of ma
chimes and appliances, are not what the
people want this early in the season. 1t Is
high and deserved compliment that
the masses are now paying to the great

Sheriff Of Rock Island COMFY. .--
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1893-05-12


Brookhaven, Miss, May 4, 1898.
-Brookhaven has been treated to a
first-class sensation to-day. About
III o'clock a. M. while circuit court
was engaged in trying a civil case,
sheriff McNair received a note from
reliable source, warning him that
n body OF about one hundred and
fifty armed men were coming into
town to assault the Jail and liberate
the dozen men indicted for whitecap
outrages and held for trial next
Monday.
He at once communicated this in
formation to the court and was di-
recsed byJudgeChrisman to prompt
ly collect all the arms he could get
in town and store them in the sher-
iff's Office, and the court would rem
der him all possible assistance in
resisting any attack that might be
made. However, before the sheriff
could carry into effect his instruct
ion, the court yard aud Jail were
completely surrounded by armed
and mounted white caps, variously
estimated from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty strong.
Judge Chrisman, who took in the
situation at glance, promptly de-
clared court adjourned and went
down stairs aud out to the front
steps in the court yard 10 remon-
strate with the leaders oil the band,
and prevail upon them, il he could,
TO let the law take its regular course.
Many of the white caps soon dis
mounted and hitched their horses
and deployed about the court yard
and Jail.
Three men more active than the
rest were in the act of scaling the
high frame enclosure around the
jail, but were driven back by depu-
~ sheriff Willoughby, who plucki-
ly stood his ground and warned
them that he would kill the first
man who scaled the fence. Mean
while Judge Chrisman, who first
began his talk to the mob from the
top OF the front steps In the court
yard. had gotten the attention Of
majority OF The crowd and advanced
until be was in the midst OF the hos.
tile outlaws with their gums. AT this
point one of the leaders standing
near Judge Christman commanded
his men 10 pay no attention to any
thing the judge might cay, but pre-
pare for an assault upon the jail to
liberate their comrades. No sooner
had he said lhis than Judge Chris
man replied fIf that is your pro-
gramme. cir, | sill arrest you right
OF the spot, "and started forward to
carry bis words into effect But no
sooner bad ho donn 90 than he was
instantly covered vilh pistol and
