Neva'ln's Exhibit.

Considerable is being said in the
State papers about the Ne, ada *
hIbit at the Omaha Exposition. his
scribe was mt the exposition last Tues
lay md Wednesday and saw the ex-
hibits in the Mining and Agricultural
buildings. The mining eyhIbit com
pares favorably with the exhibits
FRO n other stutcs and attracts as
much attention rs any Of them. The
agricultural exhibit, tLongh not ms
COOL as 1t should be. gives 4 fair idea
u the agrcultur Il resources OF the
state. While it does not compare
with the exhibits from Miss puri, Tex

md variety, there is nothing about
1t tn bring the blush nf shame tn my
ritizen ~ the State who may visit the
exposition. On the contrary it re-
ceiveS good deal nf favorable com

good as it should be, but this is in no
WI u duo To Col. Maxsou and his ils.
slstani Mr.. West. II is wholly the
tdult of the farmers oi the State who
have failed to supply the necessary
farm products to make the exhibit n
faithful reflector OF tie agricultural
possibilities nf our sugebrush lands
when brought under cultivation.
This could be done without expense
to them and would adj greatly to the
atiractiveness aud effectiveness of the
exhibit. As it is, there is enough to
show tu the outside world TINT Ne
vadd can produce something besides
the precious metals.
Coz. Maxson certainly deserves
credit Tor the efforts he has made i'll
exhibiting the resources OF the State
at Omaha. He las done all tile work
and paid all the expense OF ,he ,yllbit

come up to the aesthetic tastes or
