probably not be seen for many years
to come, If ever again. 1t will afford
an opportunity for chronological Study
not to be lightly passed by.
One of the browning features OF the
exposition will be the electrical IL
Elimination. The display Of last year
was conceded to be the most effective
ever arranged, and that has been vast
ly improved upon. The exposition Will
be grand and beautiful by day, but
when darkness spreads its sable wings
then will fairy city spring into exis-
tence, each outline defined, each tow

illumination of the court of honor;

with American conditions, and the
Greater America Exposition manage
ment is determined to bring this show
up to the demands of public opinion
in every respect.
All counties in the United States are
invited and solicited to make a dis
play, no charge being made for space
in the agricultural building, and
every assistance possible being oc-
corded exhibitors in getting their ex-
hioits in place.
The amusement features surpass
those of last year, both in point Of
numbers and in the quality Of the at
fractions. The Midway is, as usual,
fantastic, unreal, and bizarre, and yet,
withal, instructive and entertaining.
The principal features Of the Trans
Mississippi are seen, but there are nu-
merous new attractions Of more than
ordinary interest. Among the latter
will be Filipino village, with num-
Der of native men, women and child
rem, in their native costumes, and

That Hague Conference.

AS time progresses the true inward
ness of The Hague peace convention
begins to crop out.
1t seems that the leading nations OF
Europe, weary of REFRESHING popular
struggles for freedom, and jealous OF
the possible advancement of some of
the minor nations, sprung the idea that
the minor nations, spring the idea OF
a peace convention, the purpose OF
which was to stop an increase of ar
mament. This was a very convenient
thing for the rulers with large armies
already in hand to propose, because 1t
insured their own supremacy, and laid
an interdict upon the attempt of small
er nations to grow up to their stand
ard. In no particular was this brought
out clearer than in the proposal to
restrict the developments Of navies.
Of course England, France and other
European powers, already having large
navies and seeing that the United
States was about to come into the
arena against them, were very anxious
to prevent naval engagements; but
they were not anxious to the extent OF
dispensing with their own naval estab-
lishments.
While what is called modern enllght-
eminent demands the meeting OF occa-
sional peace conferences, the people OF
the world will continue to strive for
the mastery, each section in Its own
territory. The nations already In
trenched will cry for peace, because
they have got their claws sunk deep
in the vitals of the lamb, but other and
ambitious nations, anxious to reach
the stage of Imperialism, will not lay
down their arms nor consent to be
mere lookers-on while the big bears
wrangle over the carcasses.
Therefore it is to be feared that w
will continue to have war-a state Of
things not altogether regrettable, be-
cause out of war tyranny has been
shorn of It's strength and freedom has
won many victories.

Colonial Exposition at Omaha Ready for
Visitors on Opening Day.
THOUSANDS VISIT GREAT SHOW
Grand Street Pageant Marches
Exposition Grounds-A Great and En-
thusiastic Gathering on Independence
Dnv.

The first Greater America Colonial
Exposition was duly inaugurated on
the morning of July 1, when grand
street pageant marched through the
streets of Omaha and out to the beau
tiful grounds, where the formal exer-
cises were held. Large crowds of Wis
1tors are daily testifying to the sue
cess achieved and are paying deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are rapidly
filling with splendid collection of ex-
hibits and large force OF men are
working day and night to put ex-
hibits in place. The ground deccra-
lions are far more beautiful than those
Of last year and nothing is lacking to
please, instruct and entertain those
who visit the great Exposition.
The agricultural feature of the
Greater America Exposition is re-
ceiving much more than the usual at
tention accorded this department at
expositions. Instead of the bronze
medal and silver cup the exposition
management has decided to pay cash
premiums to all counties that make
creditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit of this enter
prise be Of recognized value to exhib-
itors there has been set aside 10000
to be divided into twenty-five prizes,
to be awarded to the twenty-five coun-
ties scoring the highest in quality of
collective exhibits. These prizes are
graduated from four hundred to one
thousand dollars each. In addition to
the above there is an additional Tro-
vision for all other couhyies making
displays, which is, that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award if it's display is of recog-
nized merit.
The Importance of large and full
display of agricultural products is rec
ogniZed by every one at all familiar

Havana, scenic theaters, streets OF all
nations, and all the various attractions
which go to make up that great amuse-
ment resort known as the Midway.
Other amusement features are mag
nificent displays of fireworks, wnlch
are to excel the exhibition of last year
and which will be one of the most
beautiful, unique and novel atsrac-
tions of the exposition. The heavens

Horse races by electric light, and
ghost dances by half-civilized Indians,
and scores Of other attractions Will be
seen, leaving little or nothing to be
desired in this line.
The widespread interest which the
Indian congress aroused st the expo
sition of 1898 has induced the manage
ment of the Greater America enter
prise to give this feature a prominent
place in the list of attractions. Ar
rangements have been made to secure
a large encampment OF Indians from
all the various tribes of the great
west, and assurances have been re-

TRAIL OF THE PLUrOCRATiC
SERPENT.

John G. Carlisle had been my politi-
cal idol; had watched his career from
the time he was young man In the
legislature OF Kentucky; had seen him
go to congress, become speaker Of the
house, and Democratic leader In con-
gress, and when he went over to the
enemy, felt 1t as personal grievance,
so inquired from the sources I have
indicated, How did they reach Car
lisle?" The reply was. Through his
wife and son. He had an ambitious
wife, and the son, Logan, took after
the mother. It was represented 10
these people how fortune could be
made; they got around the old man
and prevailed on him to come in. At
first Carlisle refused to touch the
money, and about two and quarter
millions We're paid to Mrs Carlisle;
after that John G.. concluded that he
might as well "have the game as the
name" and l now understand that he
is one Of the largest owners Of pulp
mills in the state of Wisconsin. also
learned that the prominence of Car
Isle in the Democratic party was
largely brought about by the aid Of
these very men; they ascertained soon
after his entry into congress that
wealth was an object and that he could
be controlled. So they instructed their
people to speak well of Carlisle and
encourage the Democrats to push him
to the front.

him." This information was used by
u.s. On the second day | asked him
again, What is the news?" He re-
piled: Matthews was unable to de-
liver the goods and we have deal
with Bots of Iowa." On the third day
I again inquired for the news, and he
told me that Boies was unable to de-
liver; that they had deal with the
Illinois delegation for that day; thai
if anything like a deadlock developed
between Bland and Bryan, the plar
was to swing the Illinois delegation Il
Stevenson, and to use money to carry
out this object. In a subsequent con
versation with this man he told MI
they had put up the money to contro
the conventions of both parties from
the time that Andrew Johnson left tn
white house; but the Chicago conven
ton got away from them. He sale
that only two names went before tina
