THE desperate Tennessee ringsters ar

THE desperate Tennessee ringsters are
resprting to unheard-of devices to stand
off an investigation Into their villainy.
The latest is the passage Of bill requir-
ing bond in the lup of $4,000 from
Tillman, the consisting candidate for
Governor, to be psid in case the Iegis-
lature shall decide his accusations of
fraud to be frivoldsis and malicious.
This is most offensive piece of bluff.
The court before which the case is to be
tried-the Legislature-virtually says
in advance that the complainant has no
case, and that it will fine him $4,000
If he persists in pushing it to an issue.
The like has never been heard of before
in American politics. 1t is amazing
what the people of Tennessee will stand
from the gang which has already done
such infinite injury to the State. 1t is
understood that the Republicans will
"see" the bluff by at once filing the
necessary bond. The best lawyers hold
that the act is utterly unconstitutional,
and that the bond will be uncollectable.

creditably represented there, and that

thorized as its official representatives.. a.
Rhode Island was the first eastern
state to make an appropriation and to
erect a building, and the governor of
the far-away territory of Alaska, with
the aid of enterprising citizens, is pre-
pairing to make an elaborate exhibit
which will show the resources and de-
velopment of that country i'll splendid
style. New Mexico will send Is tons
of material and other specimen prod
ucts. The California state board of
trade asks for. large space for great
display of fruit. Ohio has made lib
eral appropriation for a state display,
and the city of Cincinnati will erect a
building at a cost of $4,000, single
exhibit IN WHICH will cost 100000. Yer
mont has made an appropriation, and
the legislatures of other states now in
session are asked to provide for eXhib-
its, and where this cannot be done the
public-spirited citizens and leading
business men will provide the means for
a creditable representation. Gov.
Hastings, of Pennsylvania, visited the
exposition grounds a few weeks ago in
company with nearly all the leading
state officers, and they were greatly
astonished at the magnitude of the
plant and the magnificence of the build
ings. The governor gave the manage
ment the most positive assurance that
the state of Pennsylvania should apprO-
pirate at least $4,000 for the purpose
of making an exhibit worthy of the
Keystone state.
The rivalry between the cities of Gin.
cinnati, Louisville, ST. Louis and Chica-
go, each of which will endeavor to make
the best impression upon the southern
people, in the hope of winning the trade
of that section, is the best evidence of
the great favor with which the centen-
NAL is looked upon in the business
world.
a. Macchl, foreign representative OF
the exposition, with headquarters in
London, has special commissioners in
every country in Europe, all of whom
will be represented, 100000 square feet
of space having already been engaged
for European exhibits, necessitating the
construction of large annex to the
Commerce building. The Russian ano
scandinavian exhibits promise to be
the most wonderful, representing home
life, industry, commerce, art and edu
cation. A japanese village has also
been built, showing a street in one o

There are .sweeter words than were ever
said,
And sweeter songs than were ever sung,
And fonder tears than were ever shed
:, By the eyes of the old or the hearts OF
the young.
For the love that speaks is the love that
dies,
And soonest yields unto Times control;
But the deathless love is the love that lies
Deeply enshrined in the speeches. soul.
For the tenderest music the spirit knows
Is the music that cannot be expressed,
And the tondest tears of man are those
That lie unwept in his breaking breast.
For the soul is strong and the flesh is weak,
And fonder far than the words we hear
Are the words our lips refuse to speak
When they whom our souls love best are
near.
All me! to think that it must be sol
To think, ali me! in the morning light
That the hearts we love must never know
The tears we weep through the lonely
night!
All ever thus with the old and young,
Till both are laid with the quiet dead,
The sweetest songs must remain unsung,
And the fondest words remain unsaid.

In Marion county recently the wom-
en- have secured a court appropriation
of such good proportions as to insure at
least one added feature to the building
in addition to the county and woman's
handiwork exhibit, which they will send
as the result of their own efforts.
In Shelby county, with over So, 900 in

for their part of the work, and con-
tractors will shortly be sent to Nash
vile to begin on wall decoration and
the placing of the thing on the foor
of the grand entrance hall Of the build
ing.
In Nashville for the past so days the
leading feature of the work has been
the organization of local Women's Cen
tennial clubs in each of the wards of the
city and many of the districts of the
surrounding country. The first OF
these clubs was organized early in
December, and through this agency al
ready 500 women are enlisted in the

The United States government has
given the exposition splendid recogni-
ton, having made an appropriation OF
$13O, 900 for building of magnificent
architecture and an exhibit which will
demonstrate the practical workings of
the several departments at Washing
ton. The plans of this building are now
being made and the contract for the
erection of the building will be awarded
without the usual requirement of adj
vertising 80 days for bids
All of the main buildings have been
completed except the grea' History
structure, which will itself be one of
the best specimens of art, and for which
ground has been broken. The Negro
building will soon be completed, and
nothing will remain TO be done in that
line of work after the 1st Of April I'M

concessions, etc.
In the woman's department the past
month has marked the steady advance
ment of the work Ill ali its branches,
and the additional assurance of new fea-
lures of interest and beauty, and the
greater perfection of others already
mapped out.
On the second floor of the Woman's
building one of the large front rooms,
whose windows look out toward the
Auditorium, will be known as the
Georgia room, and will be furnished and
decorated entirely by the women of
Georgia, under the direction of Mrs.
Joseph Thompson, of Atlanta, the chief
commissioner in charge. During the
first week of the new year the entire
board of Georgia commissioners held a
meeting, at which the sum of $1,000
was voted to be expended III the beauti-
| flying and fitting up of this room. As
this sum is already in hand, the appro-
priation means the immediate begin
ming of the work, under the direction
of the appointed committee, who are al
! ready receiving bids and estimates. As
| finished the room will be a handsome
reception room, and around its walls
will be placed few cases filled with
choice specimens of the best attain

women in various lines.
AT the head of the wide stairway on
the second floor another room will be
furnished by a band of women as a
handsome setting for the exhibits of

from birth to six months of age should

There is widespread and growing IN
terest throughout the country in the
Tennessee Centennial and International
exposition to be held at Nashville, COM
mencing May 1, and oEtinuing until
October 80, 1897. This will be the only
feature of the kind of national impor-
lance during the year, and the progress
that has been made and the plans that
have been matured have already re-
ceived so much attention and COM
mendation from the press of the whole
country that the success of the enter
prise is already assured. 1t has never
been intended by the people of Tonnes
see that this patriotic celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of their
state should be merely of local or sec
tional interest, but it is only recently
that the full Importance and broad
scope of the exposition has been more
generally understood and accepted as
a national or international event. In
fact, while the plans, grounds and build
ings are just what the management
originally contemplated, they find that
the demands for space and privileges
already exceed the capacity of the
buildings, and the lively interest which
has been created, especially since the
close of the late political campaign, is
an Indication of the greater interest
that will be felt everywhere when the
exposition opens.
Several of the states have made ap-
preparations for displays, and many
others will do so in the spirit expressed
in the message of Gov. Clarke to the leg
islature of Connecticut, who said:
I'm common with other states, Con
necticut has been invited by the state
of Tennessee to participate in celebrat
ing the one hundredth anniversary OF
her admission into the union, the event
to take the form of centennial and in
ternational exposition, to be held il
Nashville for six months, opening May
1, 1897. Preparations are being made
upon such a scale as to indicate that i
will be an attractive and meritorioI:
enterprise, and, aside from the mate
rial advantages it offers for the eXbibi
ton of Connecticut's products, it seem.
that we should unite with sister state!
