SAN FRANCISCO EXPO
Formally Opened to the Public
Yesterday.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l. After
Christmas week of cool, cloudy weather,
which closed with a slight rainfall last
night, New Years day opened clear and
pleasant in San Francisco. 1t is double
holiday owing to the fact that the Cali
fornia midwinter international eXboSi-
ton opened this morning, though the
opening is purely informal, the dedica-
tory exercises having been postponed
until the main buildings are completed,
and the exhibits are IN place. There were
no formal exercises today, and the
only special features were concerts by
the midwiGter fair band and the I'M
yelling of Sir Francis brakes monu-
mPnt, the prayer book cross Be-
sides the music aud monument dedica-
ton, visitors today had 100 acres of
ground TO wander over. and about sew
enty buildings and camps to inspect.
There were thousands of people at the
exposition grounds, and they saw for
themselves how near completion the
great enterprise is. The exhibitors
were moving their displays into the
main buildings. Booths and sections
we're being filled up in the great struct-
ures, and car after car was on the
grounds waiting TO be relieved of its
freight. Workmen are busy in hum
dredS, in different places, putting finish
ing touches here and there. or decorat-
ing the buildings which had already
been completed. On the grand court
several hundred men were working,
and in very few days it will be trans,
formed into splendid seml-trOpical
garden, with wide-leaved palms and
flowers of countless cOlors. Scores of
wagons were depositlng material which
will form macadamized roads, aud
everywhere was the sound of the
bustling activity which means the rapid
completion of the exposition.
The people who visited the exposition
grounds today were numbered by thou
sands. From an early hour every car
going to Golden Gate park was crowded,
and the ticket takers at the grounds had
difficulty in admitting every person
promptly. Much enthusiasm was dis
played. and there was every indication
that the fair had opened informally
under the most favorable conditions.
Hundreds of flags and standards, rep
resentative of various nations of the
world, fioated from all the buildings on
the grounds. The visitors were eager
to see everything that WAS to be seen,
ana the crowds remained on the grounds

A strong point in Auditor Biermann's
defense is that he followed the custom of

there will be found other cases in which
private concerns have been enriched at
the public expense by obtaining pine
land for less than it would bring at pub

Sam Peterson as pants"

Slayton Gazette.
1t doesn't take much to change a
mans politics now. During tile last
session of the legislature the constit
uents OF Sam Peterson, the state senator
from New Ulm, sent him telegram
stating that his name was pants" be-
cause he refused to vote for Senator
Davis for the United States senate.
Since his name is pants" he thinks,
says the Lake Benton News, he must be
Democrat, land if he must
be a Democrat he evidently thinks
he ought to be rewarded for
it, and he has applied to Grover
for the New Ulm postofTice. If calling
a man pants" makes Democrats, there
are number of other corrupt Republi-
can politicians in this state that ought
to be addressed as Pants" They could
be well spared to the other party.

DISCUSSING THE TARIFF,
But Making No Changes in the
Situation


Situation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee met at the treasury depart
ment at 8 o'clock tonight, to finally
decide upon the income tax Ques-
ton and the internal revenue
features of the tariff bill.
There were present Chairman Wilson,
Messrs. McMillin, Breckenridge, Mont
gomery, Bryan, Tarsney. Cochran,
Stevens, Whiting and Turner. Mr..
Bynum. of Indiana. WIS the only mem
Der absent. He excused himself on the
ground that lie was lndisposed. His
absence prevented vote on the income
tax question, and after session of three
hours, at II o'clock the committee adj
journed until tomorrow at o'clock.
The discussion tonight was general,
covering the entire question as to how
the deficit in the revenues was to be
met. The issue between the members
is whether the income tax shall be upon
individual incomes or simply upon in
comes from corporations. When the
committee adjourned ten days ago the
general understanding was that they
would be divided, with Judge Turner,
of Georgia, holding the balance of
power. The weight of the administra
toms influence was thrown strongly
against the individual tax proposition,
and this was made apparent tonight by
the manner in which it was attacked by
those who are particularly supposed to
represent the administrations views
Mr.. Cochran, of New York, was per-
sistent and aggressive. He made no
less than five speeches, in all of which
he contended that the necessary revenue
could be raised from q single tax on the
incomes from corporations. He pro-
duced figures to show that a one per
cent tax on incomes from corporations
would produce revenue of S40.000,000.
Those who favor the individual income
maintain that not over S13, 100000 could
be raised in this way.
incidentally the details of the other
internal revenue features. the proposed
increase on whisky and beer, were dis
cussed, but they all were pivoted on 4he
decision OF the main proposition, it
being conceded that if the tax were
to be levied against individual
incomes an increase from other
sources would be unnecessary.
Although sugar has been placed on the
free list. by a majority vote of the Dem
ocratIc members of the committee, the
question of restoring it to the dutiable
list as revenue article cuts some figure
in the evenings discussion. Nothing,
however, was decided. and when the
committee adjourned Chairman Wilson
said that the situation was absolutely
unchanged.

TELLER ADMITS HIS ERROR.

1t will be remembered that during the
progress of the debate on the repeal of
the silver bill in congress, Senator Teller
was one of the loudest of the protestants
against the measure. and was profuse in
his predictions of doleful results in Col
orado that would follow the repeal. The
senator has seen reason to change his
mind. He now says that the deplorable
condition of last July brought about by
fear of the impending silver repeal has
passed entirely away. 1.-The mining
activities" he says, "have gone from
silver to gold with remarkable results.
The East expected a revival of trade

Washburn Not a Monometallist.

Martin County Sentinel.
We are glad to notice tendency on
the part of the Cleveland Republicans
to divorce themselves from the Wall
street environments and get back into
full fellowship with the Republican
party. Senator Washburn, in letter
TO the editor Of the Sentinel, uses this
emphatic and unequivocal language:
Il am not monometallist in any sense
of the word, and think it would be I'M
fortunate for the best interests of the
country for US To fall ON to single
basis. l feel that if we can be little
patient that the time is not far distant
when we can have unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver" This is the right
kind Of talk and echoes Republican doc
trine In its pristine purity. While we
have criticised Senator Washburn for
his action in submitting to the dictation
OF Cleveland, and voting to discontinue
the purchase and coinage of silver. we
are glad to note that he is coming to HE

prompt and earnest efforts to rehabili-
tate silver and give it the place in the
monetary system of our government
which the constitution intended it
should occupy.

His duties will occupy him at least a
