The Nashville Exposition.

tennessee s Centennial EX-
position is now fully open,
and a strong tide of travel
has turned in that direction.
Perhaps nothing shows the
progress our Nation h q $
made so well as a compari-
son OF EXpositions. Consid-
erlng the advantage which
the National Ger tennial Ex-
position had in respect of for
eign exhibits and larger f.
nancial resources, the Ten.
nessee Centennial Exposition
is more creditabIe than that
Of the entire Uniteo States
at Philadelphia in 1876. Our
States are rapidly coming to
be veritable empires in them,
selves, as unqueStlonably
they were designed to be IN
every respect save of govern
ment. We are glad to know
that already this exposition
has done better financially
than that at Atlanta, and
nov bids fair to pay out. Or
the helpfulness and exped-
lenry OF an occasional expo
sition we are sure; but when
it comes to having one every
year somewhere weare doubt
ful. We feared for Tennessee;
we therefore now rejoice that
she is doing so we'll in her
great undertaking. There
can hardly be a more delight
full and at the same time
profitable trip in store for
any one than to Nashville
this summer or fall. In this
connection, we embrace the
opportunity ofreminding our
readers that the lnternatiOn-
al Baptist Yonng Peoples
Convention at Chattanooga.
in July, will make it more at
tractive and profitable, and
convenient and less expensive
to visit the exposition. At
Chattanooga, not to men
ton the instructiveness of
the trip thlther, the city,
Lookout Mountain, Chica,
mauga Battlefield, and the
Convention will repay any
one for the time and money
required; AMI it will cost only
II little more to also take in
Nashville and t h e EXposi-
ton. -Ex.

A Word to Young Men.

l.
1t has II value of it's Own
which cannot be reckoned in
dollars. Education is not
the acquisition OF
knowledge, but also t b e
training of the mind, Knowl-
eC' ge is valuable, it is inoeed
power; but the training OF
the mind is more valuable.
The trained mind can ac-
Quire and use knowledge.
Thus education opens many
doors OF usefulness toa man,
and usefulness leads to hap
piness.
"What are you going to
make Of YOURSELF" This
question is often asked the
student. He should reply:
81 am going to make a man
Of myself" Every young
man should strive after a no.
bic and intelligent manhood.
Try first to be a good nan;
then seek to be an intelligent
man. The right sort OF edu-
cation seeks to produce true
manhood. Get it, then, and
count it's value far above
money.
NOW IS YOUR TIME.
There is q time for every
thing under the sun, and
there is a time for getting
education. Youth is the
time. Educate yourself be-
lore you enter upon your lie
work. After You have settled
down yon will find it hard to
break away from busines"
and enter school; and your
interest in business will Ob,
scure the value of an educa-
ton. Your heart will go on
crying after money. Very
few begin school life after the
age Of twenty-one. Make a
beginning now. The begin,
ming is the hard part, So
many young men put it OF
from year to year. "PrO'
craS1inati0n is the theif OF
time 1t will steal your
youth and doom yCn to a
life OF ignorance and ineffi
cheney.
UNWISE ADVISERS.
Some young men are for.
tunate in having wise advis
ers. Parents and friends eX
hort them to 90 to college
These good advisers are no,
all educated, but they are
good and wise; they know
the value of an education
Happy boy that falls into
the hands oil such friends
but most young men are sc
fortunate. They have rur
the gauntlet when they 90 tc
college. Even those that in
tend to enter the professions
are ADVISED not to enter col
lege. GA waste OF time anC
money!" say the unwise ad
visers; and the boys who ex
fpect to follow q business ca
reer are called foolish If they

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our h6Sular correspondent
Oh yes, the Republican Sen
ators are harmonious! so
harmonious that it has been
necessary during the past
week to hold no less than
four caucuses, at every one
of which there was red hot
talk against allowing the
trusts to dictate their wishes
as to the schedule of the tar
iff bill in which they are in
terested, and about other
things which are being cram
ed down the throats OF Re
publican Senators against
their own wishes and against
the wishes OF their constitu-
ents. 1t came out al one of
these caucuses that Mr.. Me-
Kinlev has a treaty for the
annexation OF Hawaii, ready
to send to the Senate, as
soon as the tariff is out OF
t he way. The statement
was made to stop the fight
that was being made for the
abrugation of the recipro.
city treaty with Hawaii.
The report OF the Commit
tee on contingent expenses,
against Senator Tillman's res
olutioh for an investigation
of the charges that Senators
had been specializing in sug-
ar stock since the tariff bill
had been under considera
tion,ia ttracted very little at
tention, because it was known
that it would be against the
resolution eyer since the Re-
publicon caucus decided an
investigation to be iradvis-
abe. The report argues a.
gainst the investigation be-
cause other investigations
have been barren OF results,
which is about equivalent to
saying that one or two erin.
inals having failed to be con.
victed, it is useless to bring
any more to trial. Senator
Tillnan has been dropping
hints OF sensational iniorma'
tion in his possession on this
subject, and there is a rumol
that he will make some
charges in a public speecl
that will make an investiga
tion absolutely necessary.
The minority OF the Senate
committee on Finance viii
have u vote on the tariff a
mendment prepared by them
which provides for an inter
nal revenue tax for a perio(
OF five years of 2 per cent OF
all exceeding tie value .
$4,000, excepting those be
queathed to religious, char
liable, educational, or !ik'
institutions. 1t would b,
difficult to find an easier wa!
to add a considerable a.
mount to the revenues of tn
country or one that woult
be felt by the people, bu
there are no cats in itfor an,
trusts, 50 the t-boun'
majority of the Senate vii
most likely vote it down.
Nothing could more clearl,
demonstrate the selfishnes
and grab game nature c

average Republican Sena tol
than the attempt OF Senate

est way Of settling this colnage ques-
ton Is to come square on 20 the doc
trine OF bimetallism. treating gold and
silver alike. giving both free access
TO the minis and an honest use in the
monetary work Of the world. II may
be that the great providence that over
rules which seems to have created sill
yer and gold at about the ratio Of l6
to 1. may have something yet to do in
solving this money question. Certainly
up to this time all the labor, skill and
industry OF men have not been able to
produce these metals in any such guam
titles as to vary per cent from the
ratio Of Is to 1. The total amount OF
gold intthe world to-day multiplied by
Is would give almost exactly the
amount of silver known to exist Yet
these are the precious metals, they are
preserved beyond all other metals,
hence il would seem that the natural
ratio was somewhere between 151s and
16 to /. We earnestly hope that the
great Yukon district may pour its I'M
counted millions of gold into the worlds
treasury so that prices may rise, enter
prise may be stimulated and the hearts
of men encouraged. "Money makes

AS on the previous day, Wheeling

keenan, pitched a remarkable game up
to the seventh inning. Local players
could not hit the ball to the outfeld,
and when the infelders were given
chances they played with snap and
vim which was refreshing, and was in
striking contrastJto the listless work
of the home players. In nearly every
inning the home team went down In
one, two, three order. DIESEL was the
only man who hit safely up 20 the
seventh inning, but Keenan, kept him
+ pinned to the first bag.
In the sixth inning the local hitters
fell down on an easy chance to score
Robbie" had been feeling the kids"
curves, and he sent one spinning out
to deep left. When it was fielded IN
he was resting on second. Bradley
took courage from this performance,
and sent a single to right field. With
men on third and first, and Zone out,
Taylor popped up a. littie fly to Myers,
and Buick & Beck, and Keenan,
three DIESEL out on his infield hit
"a the eighth inning, keenan, was in
the air, and matters began to assume
a more promising tinge, but base hits
were not Forthcoming when they were
most needed, and the side was retired
with the bags filled. Keenan's wild
ness was responsible for the only runs
which were made. Reisling led OF,
flying out to right field. Coyle waited,
and walked. Pop" Lytle would have
done the same, but he struck at wide
one, and sent an easy fly to Beck.
O'Brien and Robinson drew passes
Bradley sent a single to right field, on
which Coyle scored. Taylor followed
with hit to left, on which O'Rrien
tailed. Bullock declined to bite at sew
eral outshoots, and was rewarded with
a pass to first, forcing Robinson across
the plate. The bags were still filed
DIESEL hit a slow one toward second,

Toledo started the run making in
the first inning. Hartman hit TO
O'Brien, who was playing well off the
bag. Coyle stood in the box instead
of covering the base, and Hartman
beat OBrien out in a sprint race. Gilks
singled to centre. Beck went out on
a foul fly to right, which advanced both
runners a base. Myers hit to Taylor,

advancing in its favor, namely, that,

New York Journal puts the Republican
party in the position Of dealer in
skin game. The game has been set to
run for three years at shortest, and the
banker addresses his victims thus:
1T is a brace game, gentlemen, Of
course; as an honest dealer l won't
deny what you all know. But you'd
better come up with your money and
let me steal the advertised percentage
than go to all the trouble and worry
and expense Of neglecting other busi-
ness to get a square game set. You
know just what you are bound to be
cheated out Of here, and can make your
arrangements in your affairs accord
ingly."
The country wants rest unquestiona-
bly,. and business men are anxious for
certainty, but the Republican party Will
be disappointed in its calculations, new
ertheless. The argument that it is bet
ter to put up with piracy rather than
to face the exertion and cost Of sup
pressing the pirates, might be addressed
with enect to thieves or slaves. As the
American people are neither, they will
rise at the very first opportunity and
free themselves from this robbery. The
price Of good government is disturb
ance until it has been obtained. The
House Of Representatives which passed
the Mckinley bill was sent flying, and
the Congress which has passed this
Diugley tariff win not escape.
To believe that the people Of this
republic will endure gross spoliatiOn at
the hands Of one political party for fear
OF what another political party may
possibly do as 20 something else II CIV
en- power-and it is on that assumption
the Republican party has gone of on
a debauch with the trusts-is to be-
lieve that Americans are towards and
fools.
There viii be no peace for manufact-
urer, merchant or consumer in the
United States while the tariff is what
We see it nova compact between the
party of protection and the greed Of the
couRtry to give the license Of law to
tahation for private profit. The Ding
ley tariff is theft, theft on a gigantic
scale, and as the people are the victims,
and know it, they will take all the dis
turbing consequences of putting the
Turpins Of the trusts TO fight with their
ballots. Republican tom-tOmming Will
be noisy, to be sure. but it will not
scare.
