The MAGIC CITY.
INFLUENCE OF THE WORLDS FAIR
UPON MANKIND.
Will the educational Features Of the Pres
entation of All the Inventions and
Arts Of All Nations Be Lost TO
Future Generations?

Perhaps large majority of persons
who visited the Worlds Fair regarded
it somewhat in the light of a gigantic
show, to be seen and enjoyed and
afterward talked about, aud eventu-
allv laid on the shelf Of memory as one
of the things that were. It's educa
tiopal features and their influence
upon the future of mankind have, to a
large extent, been overlooked, and
yet this is the true light in which the
fair should be viewed 1t was vast
aggregation of the inventions and arts
of all nations. 1t was, in fact, the
world concentrated into a small com.
pass.
How to preserve an accurate recol-
lection OF this grand exposition is a
thought that has worried millions Of
visitors. Even those who remained
the longest and were the most persist
ent in their investigations did not dis
cover or see one-third of the wonder
full and instructive things that were
there, while what they did see was
retained il the memory as a sort of
hay dream. The dense crowds and
the hurrying to and fro wrought con-
| fusion and prevented satisfactory eX
animation.
But all these difficulties are over
come. The great fair has been per
manently re.opened, and ia such a
way that all its wonders and beauties
can be seen and studied at leisure,
| ,,1n Ia
midst of our families. Grand and
wonderful photographs, accurate and
bewilderingly beautiful, have been Sc
cured OF every part and section OF
the worlds greatest exposition. They
reproduce thousands of objects you
did not see. and thousands of Others
that you remember only imperfectly.
And don't forget the children. Many
of the little ones could not 60 to the
fair, and those who did go had very
poor chance to see and appreciate it.
They ought to know all about ir, so
they will comprehend its magnitude
and benefits when they grow older.
These splendid photographs in rich,
royal purple colors are just the thing.
They will attract and please the chill
dren by their great beauty, and a.
they examine them and read the de-
scription they will unconsclously edu'
cate themselves.
These splendid royal purple views
csn be obtained only in theMagic City
They are published exclusive in this
great work. You have no doubt seer
other fine portfolios of the World:
Fair, but you can have no idea Of it,
magnificence, SDlendOr and grandeur
until you see the Magic City. There
are nearly 400 of these royal purple
photographs in the Magic City series
representing all parts of the fair, Mid
way type portraitures, the art CALLER
les, the buildings, grounds, etc. l
you have not seen this truly splendid
work, send 10 cents and one coupon
and we will supply you with the rich
est and handsomest views of the fai
ever issued.

alIv knows more about applicants Tor
office and their qualifications than
other men. Itis true that congress-
men vii! recommend :heir friends TOR
office. but if any regard is taken OF
the necessity OF party organization II
will be admitted that the recommeda'
ton to Office by congressman in gen
eraI made under considerations OF
rarty orc anization and fitness OF the
applicant. If congressman were oil
vested OF all influence by recon-
mepdations to Office, it is doubt
ful il there would be sum
cient interest felt in this tar away
official nonentity as to compel the
people to hold any election for con-
oress. 1t is asserted that congressman
are disturbed in their business by
being compelled to take some interest
in the post officers, marshals, revenue
and other officers of their district Ou'
if these congressman were consulted
about this matter they would IN all
probability declare that they "dldnt
begrudge the time" that they are thus
occupied. 1t would beimposslble uh-
der the law proposed by Mr.. Bailey 10
keep the people OF the party in touch
with their congressman and all basis
of party organization would fall &c
pieces. Everything that separates
constituency from their representa-
tiveg, of this nature, deadens political
interest in the masses of the people
and alienates obedience by congress
men OF the will of the people. Inc
only remedy for the present condition
of affairs in this respect, if any remedy
is needed, would be by popular cleo
ton of every federal official W.
greatly fear Mr.. Bailey is an expert
mental theorist who will require
many congressional seasons to veal
away and reduce him to plain, com
mon sense congressman with 10 time
for the construction of fine spun theo
ries that nobody has ever thought o
before.

THEORIST BAILEY.

Congressman Bailey is attempting
to convince the country that he is a
practical politician, but when he
fails, as he will, he will be regarded
as a dilatante of the most ephemeral
kind. That is to say, that Congress.
man Bailey's practical politics are de-
sultory, without fixed purpose and,
whilst not strictly in the meaning Of
the word, for the amusement of the
public. The latest fad of the ora.
torical Apollo is in the shape of bill
prohibiting senators and representa-.
tives from making recommendations
for applicants for Office, leaving the
appointing power dependent upon
other sources for information in regard
to the qualifications OF applicants.
This is getting things down to such
an exguisitely fine point that it be.

THE oRIFLAMME OF COCHRAN.

THE ORIFLAMME OF COCHKAN'
We did not suspicion until the last
few days any sinister motives in the
organization of an "Ochiltree" or
RED Headed Club at the University
of Texas but some of the North Texas
papers have let the cat out of the bag
by referring to John Cochran OF Dial
las as the Red headed candidate for
governor of Texas" Now we are on
to it. Colonel Cochran's candidacy
may well have its origin at the highest
seat of learning in the state. Not be-
cause Colonel Cochran is an accom-
plished scholar in the classics, but be-
cause, on the contrary, he Is not.
Just as club organized and having
its being at the University of Texas
should take its name from a gentle
man distinguished in quite another line
than that of undoubted truth, this
club proposes to father the candidacy
of this distinguished red headed son
of the people as II candidate
for governor OF the state OF
Texas. His banner is understood
to bear the oriflamme, not of France,
but much more brilliant in its red
blaze, and that is the head of Tom
Ochitree with flamboyant streamers
of iridescent hue, The log cabin with
a coon skin was the elder Harrison S
inspiration to victory, but Col. Coch-
rams banner will combine the brillian
cy of his own and Ochiltree's brilliant
curs, and with those CORY locks Col.
Cochran proposes to press on to vic
tory. He expects to get the vote OF
every red headed man in Texas.

IT il said the Senator Blackburn OF
Kentucky, lie one of the most atten-

Washington city, No man ever had
a more thorough Presbyterian drill
ing than Joe Black burn. His mother
was distinguished in Kentucky for
vigor of intellect, thorough Presoy'

earnest wish and prayer was that her
youngest born, Joseph Styles Black
burn, should become Presbyterian
preacher. She named him for the great
Presbyterian preacher DR.. Styles.

RESIST THE ASSESSMENT.

Stockholders of a Little Rock Bank Asked
to Contribute Heavily.
LITTLE Rock, March 0.-The comp
troller of the currency has made an
assessment Of % per cent on the stock
holders of the defunct First National
bank of this city. payable next Mon
day. Holders of new stock in this city
have engaged the most prominent
lawyers and propose to defeat the
assessment because it was irregularIy
issued. When the stock was increased
from $3.50, goo to 100000 the officers
took up certain assets which had been
charged to profit and loss, amounting
to $40, 900 and brought them back on
the books as assets, and on these assets
issued q stock dividend of % per cent.
The other S125, 900 was issued in the
following manner: By five of the di-
rectors of the bank giving their notes
for $50, 900 each, and having the stock
issued to them, and this stock was sold
together with the dividend stock to
innocent parties, and these latter are
the people who are fighting the assess
nent. They base their action on the
decision of the supreme court that
when a national bank increases Its
stock it must be voted by a two-thirds
majority of the stockholders and the
stock must be subscribed and paid for
They claim that this new stock was
never subscribed for, and that the
bank never received 81 of cash for the
$4,000 additional stock that was
! issued.

Agricultural Ignorance.

Does not every dollars worth Of imports

lars worth of import grain that would other-
wise leap to go out2
This Is one of those profound conun-
drums that the secretary of agriculture
tried TO solve at the congress of agricul-
ture recently held in Chicago. We do
not believe that any schoolboy would
ask such a question. The protective
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the exports of the country. The guam
tity of grain that will leap to go out"
depends entirely upon the crops in other
countries as well as in our own-in
fact. upon the question of supply and
consequent demand. The protective
tariff. Mr.. Morton. is to keep out from
this country things that ara grown or
manufactured in other countries, and
which we ourselves are able to grow or
manufacture. We presume that Mr..
Morton Is not aware that during the
period Of the greatest protection this
country has ever had u exports
Of wheat were larger than ever
