The Southern EXPOSITION,

Atlanta's gates are wide open, and the
great Cotton States Exposition is on
in great shape. The weather has been
fine and the conditions all favorable for
seeing the show. Mr.. Cleveland is
there this week and is receiving great
ovation from the Southern people. The
press of the country comments most
favorably upon this great Southern
achievement, as witness the following ::
Atlanta has, indeed, astonished the
world; and to day it presents specta-
Gle in which the whole nation is glad
to take proud interest. "-PhRadelphia
Telegraph.
The special correspondent Of the New
Orleans Picdyune writes from Atlanta ::
" L believe that the opening day of the
Atlanta Exposition will be considered
a milestone erected along the line of
the South's march of progress, and that
the inauguration Of the Exposition Is
the beginning Of period of Industrial
activity, building, advancement, in
vestment and prosperity"
" At Atlanta, rs at Chicago, COM
merce and art have gone hand in hand
toward the construction of the Expo
sition. 1t has evidently been the effort
OF the managers of the Exposition to
make it a fitting display, both of the
advance Of the South and Of it's eligi-
bility for enterprises in every branch
of endeavor in art, science and indus
try. Chicago Record.
Governor Morton is reported as ex-
pressing himself amazed that city like
Atlanta has been able to carry through
to success an enterprise Of the magni-
tude and comprehensiveness of the
Southern Exposition, now command
ing the admiration of every visitor y
Neto York Sun.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun says -
" In this first and inspiring hour of
triumph OF Atlanta in this great under
taking, in its victory over the difficult
ties that seemed insurmountable, the
congratulations of the whole State
should be extended to those who have
not only made it possible, but give
promise that in excellence 1T will rank
with the greatest expositions of the
day. Now, that the Exposition is un-
der way it is not too much to ask and
expect that the people of Georgia give
it the most liberal support. 1t will
furnish wide and attractive school of
instruction, Of education and of in
formation to all the people, old and
young, and it is rare opportunity that
should not be neglected. Every Geor-
gian is now interested in it's complete
success, and should contribute to it, at
least to the extent of attendance.

fall, don't fail to read the advertise

WASHINGTON.
frY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !

Washington Dec. Flew messages from the
White House have been received by Congress,
irrespective Of party, with greater manifestations

last to have awakened to a realization Of the fact
that there is such thing public opinion. and
that the subject of the maintenance OF the doc

ation to recognize its plain requirements. and to
deal with 1t accordingly.
