MAINE AT THE EXPOSITION.
An Article by General Mattocks in TIL,
New England Magazine

Hon. Charles P. Mattocks has contibu-
ted an article to- the May number of the
New England Magazine illustrated by
half tone engravings and giving full
review :of Names place in the exposi-
ton at Chicago. Hs gives full history
of the work done BY the Maine Board
from the grant of 5he money by the
state to the close of the fair. In conclu-
sion the General says:
y And now that the fair and it's happy
memories are thing of the past, many
may ask what Maine has gained. The
best answer and sufficient one is the
fact that no one:went home disappointed.
No one was ashamed of what Maine did
for herself at the exposition. A distin-
guished mem Der Of the State Senate
Who had bitterly opposed the state APP
preparation, and who, standing upon the
Steps of the Name building, took sur
vey of the whole situation, said with the
frankness and honesty characteristic Of

should have supported the approxpria-

duction cases. Need I dwell on the con-
sequences of this truth? If do will
use the language of Democratic editor,
when he talks OF the "bitter cry of a
distressed people," and says: "The
country resounds with the tramp OF un-
employed men marching upon Washing
ton, there to explain their grievances.
EVERYWHERE there is trouble between
masters and men. Strikes disturb the
course of trade, paralyze industry and
breed poverty and distress. Farmers are
bowed under the ever-increasing load of
indebtedness. fostered by the falling
prices of grain. Merchants suffer be-
cause customers have no money. There
is more active discussion of radical cures
for social and commercial ills than has
ever been before on this side OF the At
lantic."
Under the fiery light of our present
condions we see things more clearly,
and begin to realize that the simple
programme of the Democracy to reduce
collision with the eternal verities of the
world, and must go to pieces.
l have said that there might be some
consolation which find is that the men
who sell their services whether of brain
or muscle, will learn that they are the
guardians OF their own future, and that
before they begin the struggle for di-
vision of the profits, they must first see
that there are some profits to divide. II
they have in this struggle learned this
lesson while the immediate future be
dark, the great future is secured. 1t is
sad thing that they cannot make their
power felt Immediately. Could they but
do so, we would begin the upward
march at once, and not in the distant
future Years of suffering and slack
work might be avoided, and
MILLIONS OF HUMAN LIVES
made happier. But workingmen who
are largely the producers of this country,
demand of the Almighty the lessons of
experience, and are now paying the high
wages of the great teacher. All / hope is
that the memory of the lesson will last
long enough to be worth the dreadful
price we are paying. .... ,-,.
l have no desire to add another cloud
to the sky, but believing as ] do, that
we cannot relax one iota of our efforts to
keep our wages where they are, I want
to warn you who are interested, that
there Is great danger in the future from
the countries we most undervalue. In

Eesterdzy the Last Day.

Yesterday was the last day of tax 'paying according to the law, but Sheriff Thompson was compelled on account of the surging crowd in his office and along the corridors of the Courthouse, all of whom he could not wait upon, to grant few days extension of time.
 This is quite q comfort to great number of our citizens who were un- able to get near-the office door so great was the crowd. One very no- ticeable feature yesterday was that the negroes stood five deep in the Sheriff's office and almost every one had his little sack slung across his shoulders or suspended in his hand. We are glad to see this continuous etreem of taxpayers; 1t means bet ter schools and longer terms in Ark ansas, and we may add better teach ers and better salaries.

 ADJUSTMENTS.
 After Dark,

After dark the lights will shine, said .'Old Tom'' in Brady's melo drama. Concentrated light upon tht art of acting is just what the players in last nights production need.
 The play itself is of the most pro nounced Bowery type and appeals most strongly to the top-heavy houses. The hero. heroine and tra, ditional stage william were there by q large majority. There was a real tank of water and real red light tied to the back end of a canvas railroad train. Roland Reed was right. Realism is very well, but q play like After Dark needs, above al things, real actors.
 The production was not by any means a revelation. It is degener- atiou.
 It has fallen by the wayside. " Let US hope that it has gone be- yond recall.' As a matter of fact scenic effect is almostiimpossible.here, but there can be no excuse for stage manager ordering a scene-ehange in 4 tone distinctly audible to the pub Lie.
 AS to the actors, none of them were capable.
 Miss Cleveland deserves credit for her song. The home orchestra didn't know how to play her ac- compartment and that was no fault oi hers. Possibly the music wanted to be in keeping with the play. At any rate 1t was correspondingly rank

IN NORTH CAROLINA
Pell-tax Receipts Are Taken AS Tickets
 to Circus.

North Carolina is an old State, but when it comes to a question of white mans rule or negro domination, she is ssup to snuff with new schemes.
 New England had her left-handed gimlets and her wooden hams, but North Carolina beats them all when it comes to politics.
 A few years ago the Republicans undertook to carry the State; ac- cordingly the ring leaders paid every nogro's poll-tax who could not pay, and as that State had poll-tax amendment similar to that of Ark ansas, it seemed for awhile that in glorious defeat was surely awaiting the Democratic party. Something had to be done, and fortunately the Democrats hit upon the right idea.
 In that day and time people would go hundreds of miles tn see Robin sons circus, especially the negroes Robinson was to the South in those days what Barnum has recently been to tue north.
 Accordingly the, Democrat en. gagged Robinson's circus to make a tour thPoughout tue State, and or all the posters it was stated in box car letters that poll-tax receipts would he taken us tickets of admis sion to the great show. 1t is need less to say that the Democrats car ried the State by m overwhelming majority Boys. where are we at

Special Dispatch to the GRAPHIC.
 NEW YORK CITY, April11 storm passed over this city and vicinity this morning which developed into cyelonic fury.
