The Paris Exposition
[From the World.
Win TIE Exposition suCceedi

Win the Exposition succeedf
A while ago nobody would have
dared to even raise the question.
To-day plenty of sagacious men are
found predicting comparative fias
co. Newspapers are beginning to
consider the problem seriously. Au
tlioritative opinion is rather conflict
ing.
DirectOr-General Picard admits
that the Transvaal war, the Indi; n
famine, the Egyptian trouble and
the threatening clouds gathering in
Asia toward the Russian and British
roptitrS are not conducive to s'lcctss
English patronage, always au i'm
pOrtant factor t. success, is certain
to be nil. Likewise Spail and hel
former colonies. which in 1889 sent
many visitors, won't attend to any
large extent.
Francois Coppee recently publish.
ed several articles denOuncing the
the toolishness of occupying oneSeii
with Exposition frivoliries when the
hour is so full or political danger
internally and outside.
The distinguished economist, Paul
Leroy Beaulieu, is quoted as Sayisg 9
that the attendance. which must be
one. half larger than in 1889 to make
this more costly fair successful, is
hound to fall short of the previous
figures. The reasons he gives are
that all the count, les German, ,
Italy, Russia and Francis-don't
know at what moment they will
become embrOlled in tie most stu
pendous conflict in history. There
fore their citizens don't feel like
spending money or neglecting their
business in these critical times.
Other prophets predict that the
plague which secured foothOld IL
Opur;o, Bordeaux, London Vienna
and Trieste last year will surel,
burst out very violently at several
points in Europe as soon as warm
weather returns. Only a few cases
would be sufficient to scare visitors
away completely.
Some less serious critics point out
The fact that the announcements that
the Exposition must be very moral
injured its prospects irremediably
because half Of the visitors are drawn
to Paris by nothing but the naughti
ness expected there.
These nessimistic views are moi
shared by many persons, who show
a serene conviction that nothing car
prevent the world pouring forth t.
Paris next summer.

He never had any genuine fun. What

ses, 900 Package Ha. Con. .,,r,r

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Somewhere be.
tween Chicago and Burlington Iowa,
an express package. supposed to con.
tain S25,OOO, Is alleged to have gone
astray. The Commercial National
Bank OF this city sent the package to
the burlington agent of the Chicago.
Burlington 4 Quincy railroad a few
days ago. on orders given from the
Burlington headquarters in this city.
The money was sent by the Adams
Express Company. When the money
was expressed from the Chicago bank
1t was wrapped in the usual way by
which money is transmitted. In due
course of time the Burlington agent of
the railroad received similar pack
nge. but it contained nothing but
brown paper. The wrapper containing
the worthless paper was returned to
Chicago, and the bank officials are Ger
tain it Is not the one sent by them.
Representatives of the corporations
Interested in the matter spent busy
day to-day investigating the mystery
OF the missing package and laying
plans for the arrest of the robber-if
the money was stolen between Chicago
and Burlington.

Precisely. We get nothing but the
interest coupons clipped from the
bonds held abroad. which clipping In
NO degree reduces the principal or pays
the debt. but after we have annually
poured our thousand million dollars
worth of products into the lap or NAV
of London for one hundred years. We
fnd that this entire vast export has
not paid the Interest. and the debt has
grown larger by the sum SO unpaid.
But look here. the Republican party
has been telling US that this vast ex-
cess Of exports constitutes a balance
OF trade In our favor" Is not this
true? And II so. how do you reconcile
it with your statement above?
1t is not true.
''lr' We took into account ONLY the
goods exported and the goods import
ed. and III" We received cash for the
excess exported. We might properly
say the balance of trade was in our
favor. and this half-told story is what
the Republican editors. orators and
srell-binders are peddling for the
truth, when in reality II presents an
entirely false conclusion. for We do
NOT get cash for the surplus OF ex
ports. but the account Is balanced with
interest coupons which represent
nothing" and is only diplomatic
yarnish for the unpalatable truth that
we have tied our financial system to
the wheels of Rothschilds' golden
chariot and are paying interest for
the use OF his gold or credit. when
we should have established system
Independent Of him. and then. when
he became hungry and wanted our
foodstuf;s. he would have had to pay
'our" price. which We could have fixed
for ourselves II We owed no foreign
debts.

BRYAN OR M'kiNLEY.

The mlddle-of-the-roade In Ne
braska arc demoralized. Their sta.c
convention at Grand Island has proved
to be boomerang and 1t has flown
back and killed its inventors. The
honest mensin that crowd are repu-
dating the whole business. The evil
dence of Republican management and
Republican money was too strong TO
be resisted. All the true reformers
among them are coming back to the
regular party organization. AS be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley they will
choose Bryan every time. The mid
dle-of-the-road movement has already
spent its force. 1t was conceived in
sin. brought forth In iniquity. and II
has died the death of the wicked.
There will not be a corporals guard
OF the malcontents this fall. They Will
not carry n township in the state. The
people Will vote for Bryan or McKin-
ley and will not waste their time on
side issues.
