CARDINAL WAS NOT THERE.
But Good Crowd Enjoyed the St.
PnuIs Fair

The immense crowd which braved the
stormy weather last evening and attended
st. Pauls Church fair in the hope of see
ing and hearing Cardinal Gibbons, who,
it was expected, would be present, were
greatly disappointed.
Before leaving Baltimore for ST. Louis
the cardinal promised the mana cement that
he would visit The fair some evening before
it closed. and as he was expected to
return from the West yesterday, it was
confidently expected that he would have
been present last evening. However,
letter was received from Fa ther Gross, the
cardinals private secretary, stating that
he was avoidably delayed at Terre Haute.
Ind, but on his coming East would spend
one evening at the fair.
Exactly what evening Cardinal Gibbons
will attend is not yet known, but it is
expected that 1t will be tomorrow or
Friday evening.
The visitors to the fair however, found
plenty to entertain and amuse them, and
Notwithstanding the disappointment, spent
very pleasant evening.
The greatest attractions, judging from
the patronag ge, were the mysterious booth,
in charge of Mrs. Zeh, and the postoffice,
in charge of two charming young ladies.
who carry on an extensive correspondence
with the visitors to the fair. 1t was whis-
pered last night that the postoffice depart
ment OF the fair was TO De -reOrganlZed and
changed into a matrimonial bureau.
This evening q new feature will be added
TO the already great number of attrac-
tions at the fair. At meeting of the fair
executive committee, held last evening,
it was decided TO give away a diamond
ring or some equally valuable present each
night until the close of the fair. The
plan arranged is that each visitor, as he
enters the tent, will be given a numbered
card, which will entitle the holder to
chance at the capital prize. The drawing
will take place every evening at $50

ADEPARTMENr OF COMMERCE..

A DEPARTMENT OF COMM RCE.
Representative Cobb of Missouri, has
introduced in the House bill 20 create
a new executive department. to be known
as the Department OF Commerce. Perhaps
it is only tentative suggestion. advanced
without the expectation Of Immediate sue
cess, and intended TO sound public seuti-
ment with respect 10 the innovation.
Whether it be this or bona fide PROPOSE
partment OF Commerce would serve
highly useful purpose. The creation of such
a department. whose chief would be- one
Of the Presidents constitutional advisers,
would be a proper acknowledgment of the
importance of one OF the great factors in
the prosperity Of the country; proper con-
cession to the widespread interests repre-
sented by and in commerce. Just as the
institution. Of the Department OF a gri-
culture was practical acknowledgement
Of that factor in national wealth
There would be ample work to do for the
Department of Commerce. Several of tile
other executive departments would be at
once relieved Of functions that do not prop.
erly pertain to them. The whole consular
service, for instance. would he transferred
Immediately from the State Department to
the Department of Commerce, and the
Treasury Department would yield up several
of its bureaus. All such as deal with indus
trial and statistical matters, such as the
Bureau of Statistics, the Bureau OF abOr,
the Census Bureau and others invested
with functions having a direct bearing
upon the Country's internal and external
commercial progress would have a proper
place in the new department. AS regards
the Treasury Department, the accession of
a Secretary Of Commerce would give tie
Secretary OF the Treasury an opport unity
to devote himself more closely to the great
fiscal questions that fall legit imately
within the sphere Of bis official activ.
ity and would relieve hIm OF much work
that now retards his usefulness as the ffnan.
cial officer Of the government.
In many ways would the value ola Depart
ment Of Commerce be demonstrated, and il
is to be hoped that the great numerical
Centers of the country will give the matter
proper thought and impress upon their
Representatives either IN this or in the
next Congress the desrability OF having
such a department added TO the niue no W
existing.

VALUE OF MILITARY PAGEANTS.
One of the most imposing as wen as one
OF the most interesting military parades
witnessed in Washington in many year
was that incidental to the unveiliGg of the,
Hancock statue. Ia line were the past
and the present. the defenders of the Union
of more than thirty years ago. aud the
soldiers of the army of today, who would
confront fee should he assail the coun-
try. In line were the regular soldiers and
the miiitiamen, constituting the country's
defense in case of need. In line, also, were
the President and his Cabinet, and besides
many men distinguished in all branches
OF the COVE rnment as well as private
citizens To the sound of martial music,
TO the note OF bugle and fife and drum,
they kept step until they reached the ap-
pointed spot aud ranged themselves about
great civil conflict.
Pageants OF this kind are deserving of
more than passing attention They have
a distinctly historical and moral value.
They point to the patriotic achievements
of the past; recall TO memory not only the
cause for which millions OF me n laid down
their lives upon the altar OF their country
and millions of others fought and ble d, but
the incide nts of the mighty struggle: bring
tn ind be. S,f.
commanders who led the mighty hosts;
arouse ane VI the interest in every battle
field, and serve to impress the present
generation with the spirit of that which
has passed away. 1t is quite certain that
thousands of people in Washing gton have
been incited by yesterdays demonstration
to take up their books Of history and read
how and where Hancock fought and what
his career was after the great war closed.
The moral value is twofold. Iu the first
place, patriotic sentiment is stirred. The
glories Of the past stir the impulses OF the
present, and love of country ia kes firmer
root from the thought that it could move
great men TO perform great deeds. Again
heart aud mind are stirred by the thought
that the millions called forth to take up
arms for the national defense laid them
down gladly when the great fight and been
fought and won and returned tothc pursuits
OF peace, that the great armies of the
Union vanished in. less than three months
after the word peace had been spoken.
the stability and the beneficence of their
government, when they consider that the
citizen is so easily converted into the
soldier and so readily changed back again.
In fine, it is an object lesson which is not
soon forgotten.
