THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The calm indifference with

ton at the Paris Exposition is
one Of the things which the un.
official delegate to Washington

"this is an American community )"
Every state in the Union has its
exhibit well under way and i pre-
pairing in bu7iness-iiSe manner to

meanwhile, is loliing about in the
doldrums, is accomplishing no.
thing, talking litJie aud doing
less, apparently with supreme un :
coucern whether the peopl 9
visiting Paris know whether Ha :
waii is on the map or not.
Hawaii claims to be as active,
earnest an American community

Mecca Of tourists, the Ell Dorad O

and business success. The time is
fast approaching when the Expo
sition will be in full swing. That
it will be the most magnificent
display ever known is unquestion-

demonstrate its right to world
wide attention pass by default.
