preparation has been made have changed
the situation so materially that subscrip-
tions to Worlds Fair stock should flow
in of themselves without the necessity
for an energetic canvass.
When st. LOuisans were appealed to
before to subscribe TO Worlds Fair
stock the conditions were these: The
project was in its infancy and there was
then no absolute assurance that the Fair
would be held. Even though the sub
scriptions taken then were contingent
on other events and not TO be paid until
these events came to pass, the uncer-
tainty dampened enthusiasm. This un-
certainty has now been removed.
The principal change from former con-
ditiOns. however, is In the attitude of the
Federal Government toward the Fair.
When the first subscriptions We're taken
the project was that the United States
should be asked to contribute $4,000. 900.
which sum was to be paid back to the
United States before the other sub
scribers received penny of returns.
This stipulation would have made re-
turns to subscribers TO the popular fund
very medseF, because a pront or over
So.OO0OOO would have to be netted 10
give such a return. Under present con-
ditions the United States Government
shares alike with every other subscriber.
1t has no drst lien on the profits of the
enterprise. If dividend is earned it
is to be divided equally among the stock
holders, the holder of single share of
stock receiving his share of any profit
ment received its share.
These changed conditions add largely
to the value of the Worlds Fair stock.
A subscription low is no longer a gift
outright. The subscriber stands a good
chance to draw a dividend which will
reimburse him at least partially for his
subscription.

machine now in operation in Philadel-
phia. and notice served to the Repub-
licans Of Illinois that Senator Cullom,
as the administrations representative,
is the Machine Boss in that State. Tan
ner's man Yates. the Republican nom-
lnee for Governor, cannot hope to carry
Illinois under the handicap Of the ad-
ministration movement to eliminate
Tanner.
These conditions justify the Illinois
Democracy in making an exceptionally
forceful fight for State control. The
present promise Of success attendant
upon such a fight is as bright as 1t is
sudden and unexpected. Democrats
throughout the Union will look to their
party fellows In Illinois to wheel that
great State into its proper place in the
Democratic column.

TRYING TO GUST EACH OTHER.
Rival Labor Leaders at War in
Washington.

Washington. June a.-Two gatherings Of
the Knights Of Labor Of North America,
each claiming to be the regular and legally
constituted executive body Of the order.
were IN full swing here again to-day, each
assembly having for its avowed object the
deposing and removal from office Of the
leader of the rival faction. Neither faction
expects to fully accomplish what IL has set
out to do without invoking the aid Of the
civil courts; and even then It seems doubt
full II q split In the organization can be
averted.
The faction headed by General Master
Workman Parsons heard the report Of the
General Executive Board submitted by John
A. Conner. 1t recommended that the char
ter of the District Of Columbia Assembly
be revoked. that Secretary John W. Hayes
be removed from office and that q title be
secured TO the property Of tho order In
this district.
without action further than referring the
recommendations to the proper committees,
the assembly adjourned.
General Worthy Foreman j.. D. Chamber
lain Of Colorado presided over the DELHI
erations of the Hayes faction and heard
the report of the Committee on Appeals
and Grievances. This report recommended
that Messrs. Parsons. O'Keefe. Conner,
Armstrong and Unks be expelled from the
order on the charges of misconduct made
against them by Local Assembly No. 900
The report Of the committee was under
consideration when the assembly took Q re-
cess at o'clock.

FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

To whatever use the prospective pur-
chasers Of the Union Market site propose
to put the property, should the bill for
Its sale be passed, everything indicates
that the sale would be Of benefit to the
city In variety Of regards.
The sale would give St Louis q new
City Hospital, which is the most urgent
present municipal need. The $735, 900
obtained from the sale, together with the
100000 accumulated in the hospital
fund, would net within $65, 1000 Of the
needed million.
The sale would save the water rates
accumuIations. which there was talk Of
using for q hospital. for use in the con-
structon Of municipal filter plant,
which Is another urgent need of the
city.
The sale would remove from the center
Of the city an eyesore which has long
since ceased to fulfill its functions as q
great market because St. Louis has
moved away from 1t, and which now
stands an insurmountable, unsightly bar
rier, blocking the spread Of big retail es-
adjustments northward on Broadway
and Sixth street,
What the city loses on stall rents It
would make up In saving the salaries Of
marketmaster and helpers, by getting
taxes for the market property and by
getting increased taxes from the sur
rounding property, whose value would
be greatly increased by the removal Of
the market.
Men familiar with property values in
the district declare that the price offered
the city, 1883 per front foot, is a good
one. ST Louis has In the past committed
errors by not accepting reasonable offers
for real estate of which it wanted to
dispose, notably one for the old City
Hail.

THEY DARE NOT.

Under astonishing conditions Of seryi-
tude to national machine organized
solely In the interests OF one man the
Republican National Convention yester-
day held its opening session with Mark
Hanna in control and the party lash
very largely In evidence.
Probably never before In the political
life Of this country has the spectacle
been witnessed of the assembling of a
great party for the nomination of q can
didate for the Presidency with the can
didacy Of any man save the Incumbent
Of that high office sternly forbidden by
the party management. The Republican
party itself, with all its pride In its dis
cipline anc organization, with all its
willingness to unhesitatingly obey or
ders, has never before been SO COM
pletely mastered by Presidents per-
sonal machine. 1t has at least dared in
preceding conventions to keep the field
Of nomination open and to allow dele
gates the right to vote for the Presi-
Dental candidate Of their choice.
The situation in Philadelphia is an
amazing one. The central figure of the
convention is the figure OF Theodore
Roosevelt Of New York In the mag
netism Of the appeal which the record
and personality of Roosevelt make TO
the imagination Of convention delegates
and of the party rank and file there has
developed g. potency which makes Mr..
Mckinley appear in q singularly in
significant and humiliating light. 1t is
In vain that the administration leaders
in control of the machinery of the con-
vention have striven to prevent this
shrinkage of the President. The pitt
able shriveling of Mr.. McKinlev began
the moment Roosevelt appeared in Phil
adelphia.
In previous years this would have
meant q fine and stirring contest be-
tween Mckinley and Roosevelt for the
Presidential nomination. The unmis-
taxable popular eagerness for such a
trial Of strength would have made 1t in
evitable. Roosevelt, plainly desired as
q leader by q notable number of State
delegations, would have been placed in
nomination following the presentation Of
Mr.. McKinley's name, the result being
left to the decision Of a National Con-
vention gathered for the express pur-
pose Of fulfilling the peoples will in the
choice Of a candidate1o 1or the highest Of
fee in the gift Of the people.
Mark Hanna, however, will not per-
NIT a fulhllment of the peoples will
which would depose the standard bearer
Of the Party of Empire from tie Presi-
dency Of the Republic. 1t is p.cessary
to imperialism that Mr.. Mckinley he
renominated and reelected If reelection
is possible. 1t is being quietly urged in
Philadelphia. that Roosevelt ought to be
nominated for President and that at
least 800 delegates desire his nomina-
ton. But no Republican will dare to
place him In nomination. Mark Hanna

THE GRISCOME DINNER,

1t may be safely taken for granted
that when Mark Hanna temporarily left
the thick Of the fight at convention head
dinner given by President Clement A.
Griscome Of the International Naviga-
tlon Company, it was mainly for the
purpose of completing the details neces-
sary TO the passage by the next Congress
Of the Hanna-Payne-Frye ship subsidy
bill.
The International Navigation Company
being the chief beneficiary Of the ship
subsidy bill, its President is naturally
deeply interested In the fate of that
measure, along with Hanna. the Stand
ard Oil Company and other syndicate
interests in whose behalf the bill was
framed. The opportunity for decisive
conference regarding the bill was too
good to be neglected. Its stanchest
friends We're at hand. The Griscome
dinner brought them together for busi-
ness.
A gathering more typical Of the Hanna
regime and of what Hanna stands for
In public life could not well have been
arranged. The HANNAH -Payne-Frye ship
subsidy bill, proposing to place an sd-
ditional tax burden of some 500 600 900
On the people of this country. is for the
exclusive benefit Of a few favored mo-
nopolistic corporations. 1t Is the prin-
ciple of the high protective tariff ex-
tended from the land to the sea. Mark
Hanna, the autocratic Boss Of the ma
tional Republican organization, is per-
sonaliy interested as one of its bene-
fciaries. All the pressure possible to
the Republican national machine will
be brought into play to compel Congress
to pass this measure.
1t has already been stated BY alert
newspaper correspondents on the scene
that the dominant note Of the Repub-
lican national gathering in Philadelphia
is the note Of commercialism. This note
in all the clearness possible to the touch
Of a master hand was sounded when
Hanna attended the Griscome dinner.
So characteristic was that incident, in
deed, that it deserves a place In history
as illustrating the political epoch of
which Marx Hanna is the foremost ex-
emplar.

This has been called "the young mans
age. The prominence Of comparatively
young men in great enterprises and
achievements has been frequently
pointed out. 1t is not yet time, how
ever. to pass the old men by. Flight

Indeed, he will be retired because of his

To REWARD A HEROINE.

While I. constitutes proof Of healthy
public appreciation Of the merit Of such
acts that a movement is now begun to
raise by popular subscription q fund for
the benefit Of Miss Mary Buck, the
brave young woman who rescued Mrs.
Eva Doman from the hands Of mob
last Sunday afternoon, there is a yet
better way Of testifying to this appre-
citation.
Miss Buck is q hardworking and self
supporting sewing girl, and the most
fitting method of rewarding her for her
recent piucky act in behalf Of sister
woman would he to put her in the way
Of making better living with less diff
Guilty than now falls to her lot. There
would be no suggestion Of charity In
this-a suggestion that necessarily at
taches to the gift Of money raised even
by as gladly voluntary q subscription as
is now contemplated-and 1t is certain
that a woman Of Miss Bucks fine spirit
would prefer to be thus rewarded.
The Republic, more than willing to
take charge Of the fund proposed to be
raised for Miss Buck, yet suggests this
other means OF most truly helping O
self-respecting woman. 1t hopes that
some st. Louis business establishment
in line to utilize Miss Bucks services
will take prompt and excellent occasion
to offer that brave girl employment COM
manding larger earnings and calling for
less arduous work than is now the case
in her self-supporting life. 1t would be
both wise and generous thing to do,
and with no element Of charity In its
doing. 1t would help a splendidly de-
serving young woman to more success
fully help herself.
