One Year all the Peoples OF the Western
Hemisphere Clipped in on a Grand Elk
position. The Purpose of the Show was to
assemble, inside the Fence, the Marvels OF
Art, Architecture, Manufactures, Machin-
cry and Agriculture. All the Ten-Strikes of
the New World were TO be punched on one
Lot so that a 50-cent Ticket would call for
a Liberal Education.
The Heavy Editorial Writers, who pull
the Levers Of the Universe. Endorsed the
Enterprise. They said it would be Great
Stuff for the Sister Republics to meet in
Friendly Competition close by the Waters
Of the Unsalted Seas and within sound of
the Roar of Niagara. They wanted People
to understand that they knew where Buff
falo was.
The Managers Of the Fair sent far and
near for whiskered Men with dreamy Eyes
and big Cravats to Sculp and Paint and
figure out Color Schemes. The General
instructions were to make Chicago look
like a bedraggled Side-Show.
The Citizens dug up freely and the Com
mittees worked all Night on the Plans, for
it was determined that this Exposition
should mark an Epoch. The Landscape
Gardener took liberties with the Face of
Nature and the Electrician put in more
than 1000 100000 Incandescent Lamps with
which to dazzle the Folks from Pottsville
and Battle Creek.
All kinds of instructive Exhibits from
Skagway in the North to Patagonia in the
South were packed in the cavernous Build
| ings. Each Article had neat white Label.
1t would have taken one Man some seven
years to read all the Labels.
Then the Gates were opened; the big
| Fountain broke loose, and the Band played
Patriotic Music. The eager Public. which
was waiting to study all these Evidences
of Occidental Progress was invited to flock
in and partake of the Intellectual and Aes-
thetic Spread.

new boxes of Adjectives and got out their

Beg, Borrow or Finance the Price was dead

In a Town somewhat removed from the
Site Of the Big Show there lived Respect
ed Person who had read all about the Prep
! arations. He was in sympathy with the
| Lofty Purposes of the Convocation. Being
a Student of History, he had an Abiding
Faith in the Future of the New Republics
AS Son of Freedom he gloried in their
| Achievements.
In speaking to his Partner, he opineo

States Senate TO succeed Mr. Deboe. To
still further advance his senatorial ambi-
tons, Cantrill appears before the Demo-
cratic state executive committee and in
forms its members that the plan for a
state Senatorial primary, urged by two
thirds Of the Democrats of Kentucky and
demanded by four-fifths of the Democratic
press, is impra cticable, whereupon the COM
mittee decides that no primary shall be
held. Also, too, he declaims tearfllly
against the crime which struck down the
Nations chief at Buffalo; says it is right
that the people should pray for his recov-
cry, and then declares solemnly that when
the martyred Goebel was felled by the
assassin there were no public prayers for
his recovery; but if there were prayers,
they were secret prayers that he might
die" Out upon such bathos!
No stainless seat Of justice his
No spotless ermine wraps his flaccid form.
But foul corruption speeds its argosies

But greed for power warps judicial sight:
For 10! the judge, and not Justice, blind
Works grave oppression with judicial
might.
The death Of Josiah Gwin. the veteran
New Albany editor, removes a personality
standing alone in the public life of In
diana. The bitterest OF Democratic par
tisans, and with his mind, in some of its
aspects. warped by political fallacies Of
past generations, ne was nevertheless of
such sterling honesty that he was ever
ready to fight even for what he thought to
be wrong If the people, by their mandate
at the polls, had declared IL to be the rule
for their governance. None was so swift
or so vigorous as he in the denunciation Of
Democratic corruption in Floyd county and
New Albany, and Democratic ISLANDERS of
competent Republican officials, notably Of
Governor Durbin and the late Governor
Mount, were repeatedly and earnestly re-
buked by him. In the Kentucky contro-
versy he took strong grounds against
Goebel, saying. IN regard to the contest:
so strongly am I certain OF the election
of Governor Taylor that, II necessary,
will shoulder musket to see that he holds
the seat to which he has been elected {"
After Goebel was killed he said Cover
nor Taylor and the men associated with
him are not the kind OF men who would
enter into such conspiracy. The killing
of Goebel does not alter my belief in the
justice of their case an iota."
In his private life he had a strong
aesthetic side. I recall the delight he al
ways exhibited in showing his flowers and
fruit trees to interested observers, AID he
| possessed a wide knowledge Of books and
art, both OF sculptures and painting. To one
| who was interested in these things he never
| tired Of talking. and he talked Interestingly.
/ The grounds OF his beautiful home on the
! Knobs, back Of New Albany, were always
| open 10 the public, and from the hill in
| front of the house the Ohio valley could be
seen stretching away for miles TO the south.
This view was his chief pride, and he al

The downtown beer gardens, the homes
of raGtime, are dark. Late last spring they
