Another Exposition. Nc 1t Year.

This country will begin the new
centlry with two intcrns tional expo
sitions upon the program for the first
wear. an undertaking WI ich would be
rather iii ficult for most countries but
which it is reasonable TO believe will
be carried out with success. In this
section we are all familiar with the
PAN American expos ton which is TO
are all pl aiming to axe that in-but
little has been heard about the no less
worthy project of the Southern states
and West Indian exposition which is
to be held at Charleston. s. c. The
aim at I,uffalo is to unite more closely
the two Americas in commercial and
industrial ties. while at Charleston
the special aim will be to strengthen
the ties between the Southern states
and the West Indies and to promote
the welfare Of both. Both are purely
American affai rs. and in each case the
object is of great Importance.
There is no rivalry between these
two expositions. That at Buffalo will
open May /. and close November l,
while that at Charleston viii not open
until December /. Thus one will not
interfere with the popular attendance
at the ot-1er. and exhibits can easily
be transfer red if desired. While we in
the North are naturally most inter-
ested in the Buffalo exposition, this
section with all others Will wish the
highest slcce,'s TO the exposition at
Charleston. 1t will no doubt be given
equal government support with that at
Ruffalo. for its object is most worthy
and the time M OSt opportune.
