Politics in the Exposition.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.).
Gov Matthews of Indiana, is said to be
preparing an address for delivery at the
Atlanta exposition on what is to be known
as Cuban Independence Day" The pro-
priety of designating such a day is ques-
tionable, as is also the policy which, it is
said, will animate the governors speech.
1t Is said that he proposes to condemn the
foreign policy of the administration as be-
ing not sufficiently vigorous, and to make
a strong defense of the Monroe doctrine.
The directors of the exposition should not
permit politics, foreign or domestic, to be
made a feature of the show at Atlanta.
Cuban Independence and the Monroe doc
trine are both popular, but they have no
place in an industrial exhibition.

Lincoln Gives Warming.
From the WASHINGTON Star Qnd.l

Robert T. Lincoln says in answer to a
suggestion OF his name as a candidate for
the presidency: 4 can imagine no greater
misfortune to befall me than to become
President of the United States" Mr.. Lin
coin speaks from wide observation. He
is the son of a President, and he himself
as Secretary of War, has had a chance
to see the drawbacks of occupying the
white house Messrs. Reed Whitney, Nc
Kinley Hill, Allison, Morrison, Harrison,
Stevenson Wilson and other candidates
named for the presidency should pause
and reflect. They should carefully con-
slider whether the presidency is worth
having, with all the annoyances and dis
comforts of the office pointed out by Mr.

An Educational Qualification.
. From the Pittsburg Post Oem.).

An educational qualification for voting
in the south would not disfranchise the
negroes, as many republicans hold, for
the colored people have been making great
progress in the last few years in the way
of acquiring a primary education. The
Florida Times Union in discussing the
subject gives the statistics of the negro
schools, showing, among other things, that
in 1890 eight southern states were educat-
ing nearly 100000 negro children, and
that nearly 20 per cent. of the negro pop
ulation was attending school. Each state,
it adds, lis doing a work for the negroes
selves for voting their own fault"

Forty thousand tubs of American but

weeks, bringing good prices. This means
that butter viii probably not be cheap
anywhere this winter. ThomasvilIe and
one or two other Georgia towns are talk
ing about establishing creameries. They
should not let the agitation end in talk.
Georgia can produce as good butter as
New York and Vermont and she ought
to do it. and in as large quantities as
the other states.

The public school of Pecatonia, H., is
divided into hostile camps, and there is
onion juice on the moon. The teacher. a
pretty young woman. dislikes onions. She
issued an order forbidding scholars to
eat them. Some of the young hopefuls
took the order as an unwarranted in
fringement of their right of personal lib
erty and rebelled. They not only loaded
themselves with onions, but carried onions
to school in their pockets and induced
everybody possible to partake of the pun
gent vegetables. The teacher thrashed
some of the ringleaders of the rebellion.
and then came the parting of the ways.
Parents and scholars took sides, and the
difference spread to the commissioners.
The affair is still unsettled, and an odor
of onions hangs heavy over the munich
pality.

We're Growing GOOdy-GOOd.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem.).

Public opinion has set so sternly against
this miserable business (prize fighting) and
state legislation has become so general
against it that we shall probably never see
another big prize fight in this country.
Occasionally there will be a mill in some
dark corner before a few spectators, but
the spectacular prize fight has gone, and
il is a hannV ridance.

The Rev. Myron w. Reed of Denver
is in fair way to make himself the
logical candidate Of the populist party
for the presidency. At a populist cam
paign meeting the other day he advoca-
ted the sending of 200 armed men to each
polling place on election day, with in
siructions TO shoot down on the spot any
man found attempting to vote fraud
uiently." 1t is the accepted populist idea
that every vote cast in opposition to 16-to-
1 free silver and the other fallacies of that
party are votes fraudulently cast. AT
ter advising force at the polls to carry
their point, the Rev. Reed wound up with
the assertion, THAT is the kind of a saint
I am" The advice and expression were
worthy of Waite himself.

DON'T instrument. 1t is fact one day
and fake the next, according to the
dispatches The correspondents appear
unable TO get at the truth. Whether il
is a Pigment of some smart correspond

up Europe. And the fact that it has set
Europe agog undoubtedly indicates that
the leading politicians Of the countries
involved regard the rumored treaty as
not only possibility but an imminent
probability. If the story is a fake. it may
be a prophetic fake

Socialism appears to be rampant in at
least one section of Pennsylvania. Not
long ago a man bought ], 400 acres of land
in the lower part of Luzerne county. He
erected buildings and otherwise improved
his purchase. His buildings have been
burned repeatedly, and he has received
warning that some of his neighbors think
1,4oo acres of land is too much for one
man to own.

Senators Lodge and Chandler must be
very hard to please. The factories of
New England are busy, and so far as is
known the contractors are probably en-
gagged. Nevertheless both of these SEN
ators are busy predicting war with Eng
land, and doing what they can to stir
up a war sentiment. The New England
senators had as well take notice that the
next time there is a war in which this
country is involved, the south is going
TO put in bids for war contracts, along
with New England. The south has got
the iron and the Steel and is making
just the kind of cotton duck that is used
for tents and stretchers. The south is
also building heavy machnery-the In
diana's engines were built at Richmond
and could arrange shortly to turn out
ordnance and rifles. New England no
longer has cinch on war contracts.
There can be no reasonable doubt that
the South Carolina constitutional con
vention disposed of the woman suffrage
question in precisely the manner that
the women of the state would have dis
posed of it if it had been left to them. A
woman suffrage campaign has been
waged in the state, with unabating
vigor, ever since it became a fact that a
constitutional convention was TO be held.
But the women. with the exception of
the campaigners, refused to be enthused.
Therein they laid themselves liable to
be characterized as old fossils" as one
woman suffragist called the women Of
Savannah because they declined to be-
come enthusiastic over the movement
But the women,and their good friends. the
men, are quite well satisfied for the rel
ative spheres Of the sexes to remain as
they are.

The arrest of the train robber SmaIley
in Michigan has developed the fact that
he was particularly shrewd rascal. and
did his robbing upon scientific principles.
He had double, who was connected with
him in his work When Smalley contem-
plated robbery he would send his double
to a town or city remote from the pro-
posed scene of operations, where the
double would make himself agreeable to
people and impress the date and circum-
stances upon their minds. Thus when
Smalley was arrested he would have a,
hand a ready made alibi, sustained by
the oaths of reputable citizens.

Chicago Aug 21.-The coliseum build
ing, great open structure which was
being erected by the Chicago exhibition
company on the block bounded by Hope
and Stoney Island avenues, and Sixty
third and Sixty-second streets, was
wrecked tonight at 1l.S0 o'clock by the
collapse Of the iron roof. II the dfsas-
ter to the building had occurred little

los Of life, as over half a hundred men
had Just quit work for the night. They
had been installing the electric light
ing for the opening Of the big show
building, September 2. with Barnum &
Bailey's circus. So fas as known at
this hour there was no one killed by the
accident. When the massive arches Of
iron began to break loose from their
fasten.ngs on the four sides Of the
structure the strain was too much for the
thin, low walls Of pressed brick. With
a deafening sound the mass Of iron car
ried with II the four walls In a chaotic
heap towards the centre and the work
Of destruction was complete.
The cost OF the COLISEUM was to be
$22500O, and as II was nearing compile

leived to be neaNy 100000 The site
Of the coliseum is known to all Worlds
