PITTsBURG FXPOsITION.

Never before In the history Of the an
nual exhibition of the Western Pennsyl.
vania Exposition Society have the local
papers been so unanimous in their
praise. The beauty Of the decorations
of the Main Building together with the
great improvement caused by the addi-
tion of the music wing, giving seats for
5000 people, make an Interior which
compares with anything Of Its kind ever
shown in the world. The Exposition Is
now in complete working order. Both
buildings are replete, with interest to
those who are intereEed In inventions
and manufactures There are number
less devices in electric lighting, electri-
cal engines, gas engines, and exhibits
Of new paving material, all Of which
should be studied by our business and
scientific mSn.
The Art Gallery contains about 300
pictures, including fine examples of the
best contemporary American painters
and from the classic masters In art. Two
truly notable pictures are the great
canvas by the French painter, Roch-
crosse, 20x20 feet, depicting an incident
In the French Revolution, and the really
great painting OF the late Stanley Rein
hart, native of Pittsburgh, entitled,
'Washed Ashore" This painting by
the way, will probably be purchased by
the city 90 tittsburgh.
Already-ue attendance at the Expo
sltlon, especially from out of town, in
dlcates very wide interest.
The music of the first ten days end
Ing Sept. 10th, was furnished by the
very excellent Chicago Marine Band,
On the 21st the splendid band from New
York, conducted by Fred Innes, began
Its annual engagement at the Exposition.
There are fifty players in the band,
many of them artists of note, and all Of
them having been connected with Mr.,
Innes for number of years. This band
will give four concerts d1ily, and the en-
terprislng conductor will present daily
selections from the best masters In mu-
sic as well as those characteristic
pieces that are so popular with the best
concert bands of to-day. The band re-
mains only two weeks
Amusements abound on every side,
There Is the Identical X-ray apparatus
made by Mr.. Edison which was used in
the recent electrical exhibition In New
York, and which Is daily patronized by
thousands of people. There Is the GRAY
ity Railroad, giving ride In air at a
terrific speed the Merry-Go- Round, one
of the best equipped in the country; and
a little steamer makes regular trips
down the Ohio, leaving the Exposition
| wharf.
There are at least score Of exhibit
tors who offer free food products, teas,
cocoas, and the like, and they already
report having given away thousands Of
samples.
| The sum total of the efforts of the
Exposition management this year has
provided Pittsburgh and vicinity with
an entertainment which bristles with
it's novelties and from its practical side
| furnishes an object lesson which all
may study to advantage.

DEDICATED TO A BRIAN POLE.

In this samll town Of verdant name,
We meet together, put not for fame;
We are not here to shoot or holler,
But to help restore the silver dollar
To the place 1t held long years ago,
When your furnace fires were all aglow,
And by the. eternal, as jackson said,
A mighty effort will be made.
Bryan's the one that carries the banner,
And he'll not trail 1t in the dust.
He'll open the mints and coin that dollar,
E Pluribus Unum, in God We Trust.
Our battle song Is Home, Sweet Home;
You can hear 1t sung where or you roam
The cause is just and must prevail,
II we must twist the Lions tail.
Wall streets men say this and that;
While General Hanna is frying fat
All things are fixed, 30 am told,
To bind us down In chains Of gold.
Let us think again of that old cracked bel
When our independence, 1t did tell
Ring out the news, it's the peoples intent
To open our mints without consent
Good will to men, let our motto be,
AS we raise this pole of Liberty;
Let the starry flag that floats up high
Protect and shield those who pass by

was the prologue to the play now on the

The Republican party had been by tradi-
ton, the intimate and familiar friend of
silver. 1t was a great American product,
to be protected as much as any other
American industry. Suddenly at st.
Louis, these traditions were forgotten.
The polar star no longer navigated the
ship. It was there declared for the first
time that silver must wait on an "inter-
national agreement" a legerdemain of
rhetoric, which means, never. England
must be first consulted, ana give in her
adbes ion to It, That country breeds
only paupers and princes Blaine has
characterized the population of that
country as dom mating lords or peasants
without shillings. Her blue-blooded
peerage needs dumping ground for her
marrisgeable progeny of dolatante
obles, profligate solons and illustrious
idlers. There is o common purpose there
and common purpose here. In that
purpose there Is neither philanthrophy,
mercy or humanity. 1t will be pursued
as the court executes Its sentence Silver
is not to be restored. The silver coin
now In circulation Is to be debased. The
paper money Is to be withdrawn, and IL
successful, the scene closes as has been
predicted by every prominent Republican,
J In shackles and guives on the limbs of the
great millions Of our country. Think of
it The very silver that they seek to pre-
vent being made money, was once too
valuable to pay to soldier for his valor
In fgbt, or his suffering in hospital, or
his agony In death. The past Is pre-.
cursor. The future is luminous by the
experiences of the past. The chapters
will follow until the book closes on a
scene that never entered into the brain Of
a soldier as possible destiny of the Re
public. It's elimination, gold the only
money, In the hands of few, resident
in metropolis on our farthest verge, o.
questionable citizenship, and then watcf
