Exhibit of Farm MACHINERY.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10.-A feature of
the National Export exposition at Phil
adelphia, which will arouse the inter
est of farming classes, is the immense
display of farming and agricultural
implements, for the exhibition OF
which the most spacious temporary
building of the exposition has been
erected. These exhibits, which will be
participated in by many of the largest
manufacturers of agricultural goods in
the United States, will serve not only
to practically impress upon foreign
buyers the superiority of American i'm
plements, but will extend to visiting
farmers the opportunity of seeing for
themselves an aggregation of all the
various farming implements improved
by superior American inventive ge-
Mus for minimizing labor and facili-
tating the cultivation of the soil.
From all over America the very latest
and best farming utensils and imple-
ments have been gathered by the ex-
position management, and neither
time nor expense have been spared to
make the attendance of farmers-the
breadmakers of the United States-of
pleasure and profit.
The favorable time of the year in
which the exposition will be held will
enable the farmer to avail himself oil
the occasion for an educational and
profitable vacation without serious in
convenience to his crops The nipple
ment feature promises to assist in the
progress and advancement of American
farming, as well as a stimulus to the
ever increasing demand for American
farm and agricultural implements in
the markets of all European and for
eign countries.

Railway For Tiny Cars.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1O.-The practi-
cal completion of work on the expOsi-
tion grounds has given to the buildings
a beautiful setting and converted the
site into a scene of great attractive
ness Out of an emerald field dotted
with the choicest of products from the
domain of Flora, rises the White City
builded for the National Export ex-
position.
Many of the exhibits in the great as
gregation of mechanical and other de-
vices were installed with a view to
affording enjoyment as well as amuse-
ment. In this category is a model
railway, of one foot gauge, on which
trains of little cars will be run, chiefly
for the pleasure of children. This trip
will afford great delight to the little
folk, and as their amusement is the
parents entertainment. the tiny rail-
way will possess fascination for old
and young. There is not dull spot
within the eXpositiOn's enclosure.
Within the buildings exhibits, attrac-
tive for beauty and grandeur, the whirl
of machinery mingled with the hum
of voices; about the grounds, an object
lesson in modern landscape engineer
ing. by which a bog is transformed into
a great lawn; along the Esplanade. a
medley in lesson-giving amusement.
The effect of the exterior and sur
roundings and the enjoyment of the
interior and contents of the great ex-
position buildings will be heightened
by the autumnal tinge applied by the
artist Nature. and the auspici6usness
of this season of the year for outdoor
moving about.

Porte Rico Also.

In coming TO Washington the Commits
SioneTs from Porto Rico were subject to the
contagion of folly, and the microbe mas
fastened on them TO work them into
fever and create infinite mischief for this
Government. When they left home they
were happy in the thought that they were
TO enjoy the liberty of which the American
nag is the symbol. They were grateful
for their release from the tyranny of
Spain and asked only for an opportunity
10 acquire the English language, TO have
the benefit Of American instruction that
their children or their children's children
might be fitted to become citizens of the
great Republic. When they were assured
that the revenues of the island should be
expended for public Improvements there.
and that this Government would pay for the
support of its own soldiers among them.
they were ecstatic. 1t was complete re-
yersal of all their experience and their
gratitude to the American people was more
deep and sincere. Never in Porto Rico had
there been a single suggestion OF a de-
sire for independence.
Here the Commissioners came into con-
ate They heard Senator Hoar demand in
dependence for the savages of the Philip
pines who are far less capable of self-gov-
ernment than the gentle Porto Ricans.
They were told that their attitude of sub
mission, while Cubans and Filipinos de-
manded entire separation from the Ameri-
cans was unworthy and contemplate.
They read the absurdities of such foreign
born citizens as Joseph Pulitzer and E. L.
Godkin, and were misled into the belief
that the great Democratic party was COM
mitted TO the recognition of the Cuban
Government and Junta and TO the Fill
ipino King and his Junta, and were told TO
stand out for independence. They were
assured that if they should return to their
home and begin an agitation for independ
ence. they could become successful politi-
clans.
Here then, is the end of the hopes for
quiet Porto Rican progress. 1t had been
decided that none but native should
hold any local Office and that there was
to be strictly local elf-government under
the general supervision of this country.
Thefe would never have been the least
disturbance Of the harmonious relations
between the natives and the Americans
but for the mischievous obstructionists In
the Senate. 1t may become necessary TO
modify our plans which were so greatly
to the advantage of the Porto Ricans. This
is only one and the least of many troub-
lesome results of a wanton and unpatri
otic opposition to the Peace Treaty.

PRAISE FROM THE KAISER.
ENtoIs HanoNerian Bravery in the
Franco-Prussinn War.


New York Jan. 25.-The Journals"
dispatch from Berlin, says:
On the occasion of the military parade
in Hanover yesterday before the Kaiser
and the imperial cabinet, His Majesty
ordered the reading of a proclamation,
which highly extolled the bravery of the
Hanoverian troops in the Franco Prus-
sian war. 1t was a eulogy upon the in
trepid warriors. whose records of hero
ism are gaining more recognition by
Prussian historians CT the last decade than
was accorded them Immediately after the
war.
This proclamation of the Kaiser has re-
moved the last vestige of rivalry which
has existed since the war of 1ST9-71 be-
tween the Prussians and the HaHoverians
His Majesty has actively endeayored to
cOnciliate these military disputants.
1t was publicly declared that the bravery
Of the Hanoverians in the Franco Prus-
sian campaigns proved them worthy of the
old traditions connected with the yicto-
ries Of Minden and Krefeld, which they
gained side by side with the Prussians
under Frederick the Great.
The Kaiser also granted fitting remem-
brances of those cid Hanoyerian victories
to all survivors of the Hanoyerian troops
who took part in the campaigns with the
Prussian army.
The imperial decree contained the fol-
lowing directions: With a view of re-
viving the glorious names and traditions
Of the old Hanoverian army corps. the
new regiments formed subsequent to 1866
shall be considered combinations of the
old. For instance the Kings Uhlan Regi-
ment, No b. becomes a continuation of
the old Hanover Body Guard"
At dinner afterward, in the club house.
the Emperor made a speech in which he
said: Il have chosen the birthday of
Frederick the Great, the greatest general
OF the century. TO revive the famous deeds
OF the Hanoyerian army. The Tenth Ar
my Corps, in the glorious war of 1S70-7i.
proved itself true guardian of the
splendid traditions CT the Hanoverian ar
my. and can be depended upon to trans
init to remotest pcSterity the never-tiring g
loyalty and reckless bravery of the sons
