This Summers Exposition.

In three weeks the Pan American tx
position will open at Buffalo and the
management promises to break all
records by having everything in readi-
rcss for the opening. To be on the safe
side. however. they have named May
20. three weeks later. as the acdi-
action day. The energy with which
Buffalo is going into this enterprise
is shown by the fact that tic citizens
are putting their hands into their
pockets to make up the S5GO,000 which
Congress, contrary to expectations,
failed to add to the sums previously
appropriated. The exposition was con-
ccjved on a broad scale and has been
developed along the original lines so
that it promises to be interesting 10
the hundreds of thousands who VIII
visit il and valuable to the countries
participating. About S6,0o0,GOo is ne-
ing expended on the exposition i'seli
and half as much more on the midway
and the popular features. ThahS' 10
the energy and public spirit OF the state
Board of Trade. Maine will contribute
its part to the New England building.

the purpose of exhibiting the products
and progress of the western hems-
phcre and to stimulate trade between
all the countries comprised in that
geographical division. The exhibits
will represent the United States.
British America. the West Indies. our
new island possessions and the states
of South and Central America. Among
the noteworthy buildings are those de-

factures and the liberal arts. agricIl-
ture. forestry and mines. machinery.

The Best Remedy Tor Rheumatism.

All who use Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism are delighted
with the quick relief from pain which
it affords. When speaking of this Mr..
ID. y. Sinks of Troy. Ohio. says: Some
time ago l had 4 severe attack OF
rheumatism in my arm and shoulder

relief until [ was recommended by
Messrs. Geo. f. Parsons & ! Co. drug
Eists of this place. to try Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. They recommended
it so highly that l bought a bottle.
l was soon relieved of all pain. l
have since recommended this liniment
to many of my friends. who agree
with me that it is the best remedy for

A Pennsylvania judge who is moro Of
on the bench or off it. recently sued a
street car company because he vas
carried block beyond his corner.
though he plainly told the conductor
to stop at the desired point. He won
his case and no doubt the satisfaction
of his victory was worth rather more
than the 10 cents which the jury gave
him as damages. We do not know the
birthplace of this wearer of the erriinc,
but we have little doubt that his an
cestors were from England. 1t may be
he was born there. The true English
man has a trick of kicking until he
gets his rights, even in the most tri-
when over-dcveloped. but a certain de-
gree of it is most desirabl and adyan-
tageous. There is no doubt that the
average American is the best natured
individual in the world He is often roo
patient and indulgent of wroncs and
abuses, and because he regards it as
too much bother to defend his rights
in trifiing personal matters. he often
fails to enter his protest in more m
portant public matters when the vel
fare of his city or state demands n
vigorous kick. Fault finding of the
right Kind is not bad thing by any
means.

PROGRESS in Porto Rico.

The denial of the rumor that Gov
to resign his position is welcome ne"s.
The story was without foundation and
doubtless had it's origin in the present
visit of Governor Allen to this coun-
try to confer with the President and
pay a brief visit to his MaSsacnu-
sctts home 1t is conceded by all
that in Governor Allen the President
made a most wise appointment. and
that he canot easily be spared from
the important post where he admin
listers affairs SO well.
In an interview Governor Allen de-
elarcs that he can see only the most
hope full outlook for the island. He
says the people are conducting their
LEGAL government on American lines,
and he is satisfied that an examination
of their legislation and management
Of affairs will show their capacity tor
self government.
Rico is a garden spot for agricultural
products. and instances sugar. the
crop of which for this year will reach
100, 900 tons. as against u nominal
yield of 1900 tons. He says that the
sugar growers Of the island, by reason
of the special tariff. have in the
United States market an advantage of
| S35 a ton over other growers. which
| will be increased when the IL per
nor says that he has looked all over
the island. but has not yet found the
starvation of which reports are vague
ly made in this country. but he admits
that in the coffee district there mas
been considerable financial distress.
which he attributes to the destruction
of property by the hurricane two years
ago.
The temporary arrangement of the
- per cent. tariff to provide revenue
for the administration of the island af-
fairs is working well, and is in no
way the oppressive burden that calam-
ityites within our borders prophesied
it would be. The collection of this is
limited to March. 1902. and may bt
sooner abolished if the insular lcSls-
laturc provides any other means Ol
raising revenue. The Americanizatior
of the island is going on rapidly ant
the people are coming to appreciate
the blessings Of our flag and The
significance of their allegiance to it.
