LouIsIANA.s nNrERpnisE.

Louisiana has determined upon the
sensible course OF placing Louisiana
exhib5t at Buffalo in one of the larger
buildings, along with the exhibits OF
other States, rather than Ito attempt to
put mp a Louisiana building as well as
an exhibit.
1t appears That $4,000 are available In
Louisiana tor such display and the
whole of this sum will be used on the
exh'5it Itself, thus giving promise OF
such n representation as will compare
sayorably with any of the displays by
Rhe side AZ which it may be placed. The
Now Orleans Times-Democrat Gays that
Louisiana "aan well afford such COM
parisou" with the exhibits OF other
States. Louisiana has been represented
at all the great eNpositloDs and, the
Times-Democrat declares, has been
greatly benefited by such enterprise. Sho
is anxious to be properly seen again,
therefore, at the American EXPOSE
tion. We are told by phe press that the
attention of the country has been of late
years so called in The way Indicated to
the great natural wealth aud possibilities
of the state that thousands Of lmmi-
grants have been attracted 10 her par
iahes ami have most materially aided in
the now rapid growth and development
OF her industries.
Such enterprise will tell every time.
Every dollar expended in that direction
will come back to the State multiplied q
hundredfold. Tho opportunity at But
falo wild, in u practical business way
doubtless suupass those offered by any
OF the preceding eXpositions. Our sister
State is. therefore, TO he congratulatec
that her people are SO alive to theh
great husiness chances than they propose
TO have Louisiana's resources and ad.
vantages properly exhibited up there.
in the meantime, The Post would agar
ask, what is Texas doing in tho prem
isess Is our public spirit mere talk,
after all? The sum of $4,000 ought {,

QUEEN vIcron,A's DEATH.


QUEEN yICToRIA's DEATH.
The loss Of its aged queen to England
is not SO much political as moral aud
social loss. The government viii suffer
no special embarrassment, nor will the
policies Of the cabinet he changed in the
least by the demise Of Victoria or the
accession of Albert Edward to the throne.
1t has been often said that the govern
ment Of England is really a republic I'M
der the form OF constitutional mon
archy. Parliament holds tho supreme
power and the reignng monarch is pos
sessed of only an indirect influence upon
the political affairs OF the kingdom, The
royal ruler is but the head of the state
in name, or In an ornamental way. Tho
succession is amply provided for, 30 that
as the queen is called away the Ling
