Morton,. Position /. Correct.

Recently there was published in a trade
journal opinions of members of the cabi-
net as to the benefits arising from the ex-
position at Atlanta. Some things that Mr.
Morton. the Secretary of Agriculture, said
are worth very careful consideration. The
part of his article to which we desire to
call attention. is the following:
Recalling the expenditure of the public
funds in behalf of the Centennial expo
sition at Philadelphia in 1876, and the fur
Their expenditure from the national treas
ury for the New Orleans exposition in
1886, and the more recent disbursements
of public funds in behalf of the worlds
fair at Chicago, together with $4,000 APP
propriated by uhe last congress for the
Atlanta exposition, | am free to confess
that l do not think the advantages will
be commensurate with the outlay.
1.-THE fair and exposition business is not
a legitimate business for governments to
engage in. Public moneys, which have
been raised by taxation upon all the peo-
pie. can not, in my Judgment, be legiti-
mateiy appropriated for such purposes. 1t
is to be hoped, therefore, that the Atlanta
exposition may be the last one for which
any appropriation of funds from the pub
lie treasury is to be made. Whatever adj
Vantages may accrue, either to Georgia
or the country at large, from the Atlanta
exposition, they will hardly neutralize the
influence of the bad presidents which
of public funds for such occasions.
The sooner the government of the Unit
ed States retires from the show business,
and from all other business except pro-
tectng the life, liberty and property of
it's citizens, the better it will be for all
concerned"
We agree with the foregoing. We are
not opposed to expositions. on the con-
trary, we are very much in favor of them.
and believe they do a vast amount Of good.
But we do think that it is no part of the
duty of the government to take part in
such fairs, and to expend the public money
in making them attractive. The duties of
the government are clearly defined, and
promoting fairs with money taken from
the public purse is not one of them.
We may reasonably expect that the fairs
will become more frequent, and with the
presidents that have been established it
will not be difficult to get congress to APP
propriate money to aid each one of them.
And if money can be taken from the
treasury to aid fairs. why not for many
other undertakings which have not the
remotest claim for assistance from the
government? Where is the line to be
drawn at which appropriations not au-
thorized by the constitution shall stop?
Secretary Morton is right, and his warn
ing should be needed.

In the course Of an editorial article On
the Cotton States Exposition the New
York Sun says that to-day the most
prosperous part Of the union is the south.
1t has done so well that it is dissatisfied
because it has not yet attained all the
prosperity IL sees in the future. 1t has
the Impotence OF youth" Further along
in the article the sun says: THE south
is now only in the beginning Of It's prog
ress. 1t is taking the first steps merely
in a forward march which in twenty
years to come will have carried it so far
beyond where 1t now Is that its present
advancement will seem slight compare
lively
THE southern states have the area and
resources whose development requires a
population so much greater than they
now have that when the knowledge Of
the opportunity extends and is made in
viting by southern enterprise immigra-
ton will pour in rapidly"
The foregoing frank expressions of opin-
ion are well calculated TO inspire the
southern people to put forth additional
efforts in their own behalf and for the
advancement of their section. The south
has made wonderful progress since the
close Of the civil war. but, as the Sun
says, it is only just beginning it's prog
ress Capitalists and home seekers are
beginning to understand the advantages
and resources of the south. and indica-
tions that they are preparing to profit
by them are appearing. The south has
waited a long time for the coming Of capt.
tai and immigrants. They are coming
now, and each year they. win come in
ever increasing volume. Within a few
years the southern newspapers will not
be writing of the south's resources; they
will be telling Of the wonderful develop
ment Of these resources.
What the south has done has been ac-
complished by men and women that are
almost all purely American, aided by the
colored laborers. In the ports there are
foreigners, but in the interior towns and
villages and on the farms the population
is wholly native American. That is one
of the reasons the south has shown
such tremendous energy in recovering
from the devastating effects of the civil
war.

AZ Remarkable somnambulist.

Archibald Clark, a farmer living a few
miles from Greenup, KY, is without
doubt the most remarkable somnambulist
in that state. During the past summer
he has been accusing his neighbors of
slipping into his truck patches at night
and cultivating them. OF course he did
not object TO this, but thought it most
extraordinary. 1t was also a strange fact
that they always did a night Just what
he had intended to do the Following dav
Becoming anxious to know which of his
neighbors he was indebted to for the
kindness, he spent many wakeful nights
watching his truck patches, but without
success. No one ever came into them
when he was on the watch, but when he
would miss watching for a night there
was invariably some work done.
A short time ago he drove his wagon
into his potato patch late one evening
so that he could load It early in the morn
ing. He was very anxious to get well on
his way to market before sun-up How
ever, he oversight himself, and got up in
a terrible stew; but great was his sur
prise when he went into the potato patch
TO find the wagon already loaded and the
horses hitched to it, ready to start thus
saving him a couple of hours time and
hard work.
One night his wife saw him stealing out
of the house in his night clothes and
following him to the barn, saw him take
a mattock and go out and begin digging
up grubs in an old fence row. She then
understood who had been doing her hus-
bands work

wonaerful Crater Lnkc.

After emerging from the forest, says the
Morning Oregonian, we found ourselves
suddenly on the margin of the lake ana

The object itself must be seen to be en-
jOyed. Words canot convey the WOnderfui

surroundings.
The altitude of the lake above the Level
of the sea is 5000 feet. The crater is
about seven miles long by five wide. The
waters of the lake are below the rim 1000
feet, with a sheer pitch of the banks down
to it, making the water of the lake about
5000 feet above sea level. "A little to the
left, and rising to a hight OF 1000 feet is
an island covered with timber. 1t is sup
posed to be the cone of the crater. The ISL

Reed. the Maine statesman, is certain
Of the speakership. but is not certain OF
the presidential nomination of his party.
His desire for the presidential nomina-
tion is much greater than his desire for
the speakership. He has been speaker
and he is looking towards the presidency
He is by no means sure that the speak
ership would help him in his efforts TO
reach the presidency.
He is man Of great ability. There is
no doubt about that. But has he ability
enough 10 so handle the congress that
assemblies in December as to make more
friends than enemies? That is a ques-
tion which is doubtless giving him a
great deal Of anxiety just now.
When ne was speaker he had a much
less difficult task to perform than he
viii have as speaker of the present con-
gress His party had only a small ma
jority in the House. and he was in a
position TO do pretty much as he pleased
without making enemies within his own
ranks. The republican representatives
were obliged to stand together and sup
port him. That was the only way in
which they could accomplish anything.
In the present congress they have a big
majority majority that will be diff
cult to manage. The demand for the
chairmanships of the committees
will be great The leading re-
publican representatives from the
east and thetfw&6 thg eARn that to
them is largely due the credit for the
victory which the republicans won in
1894, and they will insist upon having
what they want. They can't all get
what they want, and those who are
disappointed viii, if not handled with
great dencacy. become Reeds political
enemies, and will endeavor to thwart
his presidential ambition. 1t can be seen
therefore that as speaker he VIII have
a most delicate and difficult task to per-
form.
He cannot afford to make enemies in
any section of the country. He is not
very popular in the west. His strong
hold is in the east. but even in that sec
ton the manufacturers who are strong
element IN the Republican party, regard
Mckinley with great favor.
As speaker, therefore, Reed must make
friends in congress who can do good
service for him, especially in the west.
Every enemy he makes among western
republican congressman lessons his
chances of getting the presidential nomi-
nation. He doubtless wonders some
times whether it would not be wiser to
refuse the speakership than to accept 1t.

1t is probable that few people realize
how close Cuba is to this country, geo.
graphically, Notwithstanding it is a for
eign country in politics and language
and will probably remain so. There is
only about eighty miles of space between
the Florida coast and the Cuban coast.
In direct line it is further from Savan-
nah to New York than to Havana Ha-
vana is closer to Washington than Cal
weston or Omaha, and it is more than
twice as far from Washington to Port
Townsend as from Washington to Ha-
vana. The cities of Havana, New Or
leans Memphis, Vicksburg, Evansville
and Cincinnati are in the neighborhood
of the same number of miles away from
this city. Little Rock is considerably
further from Savannah than is Havana.
This brief recital of facts is sufficient
to explain why the United States are,
and should be. interested in Cuban at
fairs.
