Illuminating of the streets, may have
been incredulous, by reason of not
having proper conception of the
magnitude of the undertaking, but
from the first evening the vari colored
lights were turned on in the pavilions
and along the booths and streets,
when the Oriental shades and colors

FAIRS ORIGIN.
Perhaps the reader will be inter-
ested in knowing something of the
origin of this great enterprise. While
the history is brief, it nevertheless
becomes the duty of the historian 10
say that it involves the usual dis
appointments incident TO the inaugu-
ration Of something new. But those
disappoiutments have been lost sight
of in the presence of the great sue
cess unto which the undertaking has
now attained.

Character, and the point to be gained
too significant to admit of its being
brought forth of any other system
than one thorough in every detail Of
business principle, energy and public
enterprise.
ITS MISSION.
Its mission is to advertise Akron to
the world, and to furnish free to
the people week of unparalleled en-
entertainment and amusement. To
do this successfully has been a great
study with the promoters. They have
solved the problem. With them
the wisest policy has. been to
arrange for and organize vast num-
Der of compouents into concrete
whose m agnitule would be consistent
with the greatness of the design And
no compromise has been made with
anything short of this.
sORGANIZING THE SYSTEM.
The work of organizing the system
Of the Free Carnival and Street Fair,
and in developing arrangements has
brought into action the minds and sug-
gestions of Akron's brightest and
most thorough business men. The
whole affair has been managed IS
carefully, aud the energy has been

over the triumph.

ESGLAND'S COURSE WITHOUT
JUSTIFICATION.

The Chicago Evening Post in dis
cussing the war in South Africa says:
The civilized world will not miscon-
strue the situation and will not blame
the Transvaal for assuming the often
sive. Had Great Britain intended to
make reasonable proposals in her ultl-
matum; had she contemplated no de-
mand inconsistent with the maintain
ance OF Transvaal independence in
internal affairs ian independence to
which English honor was pledged(,
she would have presented her fresh
programs weeks ago. She knew very
well that Transyaal was in a mood
for concessions, and that Justice to
the Uitlanders would not be refused.
She did not need and army OF 10000
mon in South Africa to induce the
Beers to accept just settlement OF
the franchise problem. She was de-
termined to demand the impossible
and she wished to be ready to coerce
the Transvaal into signing away it's
rights and independence by an over
whelming military force. From a
military standpoint the Beers have
been too patient, perhaps have wait
ed too long. Morally and legally,
Great Britain's course Is utterly
without justification. Every author
ity on international law in Europe,
and the leading authorities in Great
Britain herself, have condemned her
policy. The Citlander grievances af-
forded pretext; the real object from
the beginning has been to annex the
two Dutch Republics. England, as
the London Economist, intimates has
forgotten the lesson of 1876, She is
trampling under foot the principles
which have made her empire majestic
and glorious since. Under the Cham
berlalns, Millners, Rhodes and their fl
napcial followers she is revertlng to
the suicidal policy which caused the
American war of independence. 1t is
policy which can not possibly win.
1t must end in the loss of South Afri-
ca, instead Of complete British 81.
premacy. The Jameson raid was
dlscreditable and humiliating. The
present war is sequel Of that mean
and sordid enterprise.

Ter for the money it cost him to de-
fend his title to his seat.-Appeal.

Michael Davitt has asked to be re-
ieved from attending the House of
Commons because OF the war with
the Beers. He says the war is for
the meanest and most mercenary
aims and would be known as the
greatest crime of the century. He is
convinced that no cause of justice
and right would have the support of
the House OF Commons unless it was
backed by force.
