CLOSE OF THE PARIS FAIR.

Some curious but not altogether unpleasant
impressions produced by the announcements
made ar the closing OF the Worlds Fair in
Paris. which was effected this week after a
pToongation Of the season for an extra week.
Particularly pleasant is it 10 know that. from
the French point Of view. which IS after all
the essential one. the fair has not been the
failure some have depicted il being. In point
Of number Of visitors it appears to have been
the most successful ever held We are told
that more than fifty million persons passed
through the gates The number was probably
ascertained by counting the tickets received.
and as on the closing evening at any rate five
tickets We're required for each person admitted,
that method of computation may not be alto
gether accurate. though due allowance should
have been made. and probably was. for the
quinqueplicate tickets. There can be no doubt
that the number Of admissions. even if IL fell
short of the reported fifty millions. far exceeded
that of any other fair The Paris fair OF 1889
reported only p 3-4 I'll; the Chicago fair of
1893 only 27.5294oo; the Philadelphia fair Of
1876 9.lS9,392. and the first of all. in London
II le9l 6,l1o,OD. For a single days attend
ance. however the Paris fair did not equal the
record We are told that more than 100000
visitors entered ii on one day But on one dav
in Chicago the number rose to more than 76O-
0W. he receipts from admission fees conces-
slons. etc. have unQuestionably been far less
az the Paris fair than at Chicago since tickets
have been sold At a sou each. and even at
lower price. Indeed, low prices and small re-
ceipts from entrance fees have been the rule
AT all fairs in Paris. Thus in London in 1851
there We're 6.lI0.00o admissions and 50 40 900
receipts while in Paris in 1853 5.162 $50 sd-
missions brought in only 81 1.2SOO00 In Phila-
delphia in 1875 there were 97s9 392 admissions
and S3,Sl3,149 receipts. while in Paris in 1873

THE CITIZENS UNION ADDRESS.

The spirit manifested in the address Of the
Citizens Union is one OF the hopeful signs of
the campaign 70 secure good municipal govern
ment The document Is free from talk about
protests against the Republican machine. ="
which was 80 rife in the early stages OF the
last Mayoralty contest. Some men were then
little more given 10 showing their di>approval
of the Republican organization than To using
its strength in behalf of anti-Tammany govern
ment. and they did all they could do to prepare
the way for the inexcusable folly of the organi-
cation leaders in running a third ticket The
Republican organization learned It's lesson, and
in 1899 made the promise of cooperation for
true municipal non -partisanship. which il evi-
IDENTIFY intends 10 keep this year. A few indi-
vidual expressions Of diSincnatiOn 10 have
any dealings with wicked politicians have been
heard. but officially the Citizens Union dis
countenauceS such a disposition. and promises
TO spare no efforts 10 secure the active co-opera
tion of all organizations. societies and individu
ais quaied 70 render effective service.
No one body can render such effective service
as the Republican party. Its organization is
ready to meet the systematic campaigning of
Tammany as no improvised system could hope
TO be. Thousands of persons vote its ticket rs
a matter of habit. The system perfected for
general political contests Is indispensable in the
present early stage Of education in the idea of
municipal non partiSanShip, II can doubtless
be made available 10 support non-partisan can
didateS for city offices on the terms proposed
by the Union, if those terms are really lived
up TO. The Union says that il wants men who
viii not use their Offices nor permit them 10
be used for any partisan purpose" That means
not merely TO refrain from helping any political
party aiding in the election. but also 10 refrain
from working against the standing of politi-
cal party State and National body.
Il is worth while. if union is 10 be secured, 10
keep this double obligation in mind The Re
publican organization could not he blamed If it
should refuse 10 accept a candidate who. il
believed would the Mayors office in the
name Of municipal non-partsanshp 10 under

men who might be admirably equipped other

partisanshlp that they would regard il as a
social duty 10 break down political machines
Therefore II is a wise plan of the Union 10 at

high standard Of executive ability. sincerity
and honesty will a the same time be accepta bla

To that endeavor We hope that the voters

and OF which print the early results this

smuggling that would be done and partly be-
cause China would be making her own
supplies.
1t is said that China must submit to demands
that no great Power would tolerate. because she
is not fully civilized and has acted savagely.
But that suggests the real gist of the matter.
If such be the case, II may be asked. why make
that demand for rational intercourse, as in
civilized countries: Must not China be treated

answer that there are precedents, in our own

not easy in this instance TO define such middle
ground with confidence and security. Much of

determined benefits resulting from increase of
friendly relations with various countries. 1t Is
nota BILE that while eleven years ago the British
were first in number among the visitors this
year the Germans have been by far the most
numerous. This fact is due not to the absten-
ton of the British from visiting the fair, al
though that has been most marked. but to the
enormous increase in attendance of Germans
1t may reasonably be hoped that this circum
stance will result in. and indeed is the indica-
ton of an increased friendliness between
France and Germany far greater than any tenn
porary estrangement between France and Great
Britain The part worlds fairs have played
during the last half century in increasing inter
national friendships and promoting civilized
intercourse IS not to be estimated in mathemat
cal terms. but it is doubtless very great, and
in contributing thereto this end of the century

we'll as upon the more tangible successes of
the enterprise. Paris and France are entitled
