had a day made to order it would not have secured more delightful weather for its celebration at the exposition. There was large crowd in attendance, with a fine delegation of the Empire states representative citizens, includ- ing Chauncey M. Depew, chairman of the State committee, and other prom inent citizens. Senator Warner Miller presided at the formal exercises at the Auditorium, at which MT. Depew was the principal orator.
 MT. Depew spoke of the far-reaching benefits the nation received from the Worlds Fair, and said:
 This exposition at Omaha is to vastly enhance the interests of the country by bringing nearer and in better understand ing of each other the different sections of our own country.
 New York has been too content with being the Empire State and with having its chief city the metropolis of the con- tinent; the West too eager for an empire independent of the East; the South living too much upon its traditions and in it's past; and the Pacific Slope resting too severely upon it's boundless possibilities and great expectations. The war with Spaln has superbly restored the Senti- ment Of nationality and eliminated sec uonal Jealouses. But this exposition Is a healthy educator for commercial union
 The concentrated capital of the East is the ITuC or 5UU years or settlement and trade. It is needed in the West for rail- roads, irrigation, mines, water power, furnaces and mills. But capital is both selfish and intelligent. It never deserts a territory because the investment has failed through bad judgment. It seeks other sources for profitable employment, and finds it's remuneration in other and needed work for the development of the country. The honest investor believes in legislation which extends the supervision or the Government over the corporation and the trust; He knows that his safety, as well as the public interests, require protection. It Is only when a community foolishly thinks thatby having confscated to-day nonresident permanent invest ment 1t has gained without effort the capital for it's future that the investor withdraws and stays away. Money is both timid and modest. It seeks to keen out of sight; 1t hides in stockings or niches In the wall or burrows in the ground It requires high civilization and great guar antees to bring it out, put it in circulation and make 1t useful. In times and in places of panic and distrust it disappears and increases the distress. With the return of confidence it moves the machinery of society and makes possible varied indus legislates as to take away all earning power from the money 1t has invited or borrowed soon learns that it has gained a temporary advantage and lost its cred profit and prosperity.
 Education Is the remedy for our troubles. The school Is the preparatory department of the college, and the col lege. fits boys for the greater university of the world The school and the college teach; they cannot educate. The colle- gian can become as narrow as his village playmate who graduated at the common school If both remain for their life work In the isolated environment of their local conditions, prejudices and misconceptions Both of them come to this exposition. The encircling horizon which made con- fident their physical and Intellectual vis- h 1fr,lc- braces states and cities, arts and indus tries. They see the vastness and inter- dependence of our national commerce. They learn that the more intelligently selfish any business may be the more pa triotically it encourages every other in- dustry and contributes to the general veal. The solution of the century-vexing problem of capital and labor grows sim pier. They see that even railroad presi- dent may be Rubiic-spirtited citizen ing the business of his company; that the money power Is the concentration of the capital of the many al convenient centers the world where 1t lies idle and useless in times of distrust and is easily drawn to the beneficent purposes and productive energies of the community which can give 1t profitable employment.
 When Nebraska shall have reached the age of New York there will be Popula- ton of over 200 900 GOO in the United States. Our domain will be sufficient for their support and our institutions elastic enough for their orderly government ana their liberty. Intelligence will be keen and high and the State will be very close to the daily life and industrial activities of the people. Cooperation will be work ing to an extent now thought chimericaI. There will alway be differences of condi- tons, as God has endowed His children with degrees of gifts, but the much abused doctrine that the world owes every man a living will be in general vogue and practice. The lazy, the shiftless and the fmprovident will grumble and suffer then as now, but there will be place for all, according to the talents bestowed up- on them and wisely perfected plans for the care and comfort of the aged and the helpless The English language will be the speech of diplomacy and the tongue of a quarter of the human race. The United States and Great Britain, having worked harmonously together for long period will dominate the world. Their rule and example will be for the promo ton of commerce and the spread Of civil ization with its requirements and benefits in Asia and Africa Year by year will come nearer the realization of the promise which began and has inspired the Chris tian era of Peace on earth and good will among men,"
 Hon. Jacob Amos of Syracuse also spoke. The Buffalo Pan-American Ex- position Commission was strongly rep resented by President Brinker, Secre- tarv TIflI and Treasurer IautZ
