the president to punish General Miles,
they will advertise this as Il vindication
among their foreign patrons, and thus
hope to pull themselves out of a bad
hole. In the meanwhile General Miles
says he has a large amount of evidence
in support of his claims which he has
not yet furnished for publication. and if
he chances to be sued in the courts for
damages, as some hold he will be, there
is a fine chance to keep the country del

Omaha's Risk.

Omaha evidently imagines it has got
the exposition situation %cornered, and
that a thing of beauty is a JOY forever,
if it is only in the exposition line. That
enterprising town made a signal success
of its TransmissiSsippi fair this last sea-
son, closing the seasons books with a
balance of $3.50, 900 to it's credit, and
this seems to have so inflated the local
mind and pride that it is intended now
to resume the fair in the spring with
increased displays, facilities and addi-
tions to the buildings already existing.
Omaha is advised to go slow and not to
assume too much. There is a good deal
Of risk in a second season of exposition.
and to make the proposition a success
there must be a marked increase in the
number and variety Of exhibits, and a
very large sun of money must be ex-
pended in printers ink. If the matter
is managed just right. the management
may come out next fall a little ahead,
but the element of risk is too great for
any attempt at a second season unless
conducted under the most careful.
shrewd and experienced management.
